You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Elf Royal Court.

"This... this is definitely a scam, isn't it?" The second princess said coldly, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

The First Princess hesitated and nodded: "Hmm...it seems that this elf lady has been used by Mr. Yuri."

From the audience's perspective, they immediately understood that Yuri only wanted to use her to clear the singularity.

I never imagined that elves from 2000 years ago could be so easily deceived by humans...

"What's wrong, Mother?" The Third Princess noticed that the Queen looked unwell and asked worriedly.

"No...it's nothing, I'm fine, I'm just worried about Rosa."

Celestia had completely lost her usual poise and tranquility; she even looked somewhat embarrassed.

The princesses looked at their mother, who was behaving unusually, and tilted their heads in surprise.

After some recollection, the "Eternal Queen" finally confirmed one thing:

The girl who appeared in the singularity, calling herself "Tia," is none other than herself from 2000 years ago!

As a young girl, Celestia had not yet ascended to the throne as the Elf Queen. Yearning for the adventures in storybooks, she left the Sacred Tree Kingdom and went alone to a country inhabited by humans.

She hopes that she can also become the protagonist in a storybook.

Like a gentle breeze, they blow freely in all directions, making friends, challenging powerful enemies, fighting evil, and finally leaving behind a chivalrous legend of heroes on the continent.

But the girl's dream had barely begun when it was crushed by the cruel reality—the Witch War broke out.

Celestia was summoned back to her country by her teacher, the "Sacred Tree," and had no choice but to end her journey.

Not long after returning home, Celestia became the Queen of the Holy Tree Kingdom.

In recent centuries, she has been revered by the people as the most outstanding Elf King since the Holy Calendar, the "Eternal Queen".

Even so, beneath the Queen's dignified and virtuous exterior lies a burning heart yearning for adventure—

This is why the "Eternal Queen" appreciated Rosalia so much back then.

Rosa accomplished what she had never done; the Queen was both moved and impressed by the feat of a twelve-year-old girl crossing half a continent alone.

But she never expected that she, still a wild girl, would appear in Rosa's trial!

And it's like this now, with his daughters watching... What kind of public execution is this?

Looking at the immature, rough-around-the-edges elf girl in the picture, Celestia felt both nostalgic and shy, both sentimental and depressed.

I absolutely cannot let my daughters find out that "Tia" is their dignified and composed mother! It would be too embarrassing!

The "Eternal Queen" bit her thin lips, staring resentfully at Yuri in the singularity: What on earth is that human boy doing!

Why did you trick me into going to Rosa's place? You idiot!

If Rosa also discovers Tia's true identity... no, Rosa is so smart, and we're such good friends, she'll definitely find out!

But... but I also want to help Rosa complete her trial...

The Elf Queen's mind was in complete chaos, and she was at a loss. In the end, she could only silently pray that her younger self would not embarrass her too much.

……

Valpughis City Hall.

The Countess sat high in the seat her husband had left behind, glaring angrily at the officials and knights in the hall.

"Two days have passed, and still haven't found the little boy I want?"

"Madam, this..."

The retainers all looked troubled.

They initially thought the female lord was just joking, but they never expected her to be so serious.

In recent days, following the Countess's orders, they have been searching for a little boy who matches the description.

Not only did they gain nothing, but they were also ridiculed by their fellow citizens and neighboring lords because of the rumors.

However, the Countess completely ignored these criticisms and insisted that they must find her lover as soon as possible.

Although the female lord was very demanding, she had changed her extravagant lifestyle in the past few days and began to actively participate in the territory's internal affairs and military work.

As the Grand Duchess of the Empire, Rosalia's astonishing abilities naturally left her retainers in awe.

As long as she doesn't make unreasonable demands like "Find me a little boy!", she's practically the perfect queen—

As a result, today's municipal meeting ended in discord because the participants failed to offer the little boy as a tribute.

As Rosalia strode out of the meeting hall with a furious expression, the young knight commander quickly followed.

The Knight Commander of Valpugis Territory is not only tall, handsome, and dignified, but also a fourth-rank Grand Knight at just over 25 years old, with a promising future ahead of him.

Originally, with his strength and potential, he shouldn't have stayed in this rural border region of the kingdom.

If he hadn't fallen for the lord's wife at first sight when he was just a teenager, he might now be a member of the Kingdom's Knights and the husband of some nobleman's daughter.

Today, the Knight Commander was unanimously recommended by the other vassals to find a way to "appease" the dissatisfying lord.

"Madam, this weekend..."

He had barely opened his mouth when Rosalia haughtily raised her eyebrows.

The Countess gave a bewitching smile and spoke in an icy tone.

"Go and guard your gate properly."

"Yes! Yes, madam!"

The knight commander trotted back to his post with a happy expression on his face.

040 Yuri: The "Saintess" is an old acquaintance.

After taking control of the three carriages, Yuri and Tia began to count the number of slaves, the specific composition of which is as follows.

Minors: 11.

Adult males: 6.

Adult women: 10.

Elf: 1.

Of the 28 slaves, there were two couples, three pairs of parents and children, and a family of four.

After Tia announced their freedom to the crowd, they expressed their gratitude and left the caravan.

There are 13 humans remaining: 2 men, 5 women, and 6 minors.

Children basically cannot survive in the wild, so it's impossible to leave them unattended.

The adults expressed their hope that Yuri and Tia would not abandon them and would take them with them.

Tia looked at Yuri, and seeing that he did not object, she happily agreed.

Afterwards, Yuri taught the other two men how to drive the carriage and put them in charge, while Tia settled the remaining women and children into the carriage.

As for the slave trader, he was bound hand and foot to the top of the first carriage where Yuri and Tia were.

Our destination is the border of the Kingdom of Alsace, Valpugis, about three days' journey from here.

The horse-drawn carriage caravan carried the newly freed people on their journey once again.

"Thank you so much for saving me, Sir Knight."

Yuri looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful elf with long, light blue hair through the small window.

Although both are beautiful elves with large breasts, slim waists, and voluptuous figures, she looks significantly older than Tia.

She exudes an elegant and ladylike charm, with a touch of sexy and mature allure.

"Don't take it to heart," Yuri said calmly, holding the reins.

"Is everything alright now, Cynthia?" Tia, sitting next to the boy, asked her tribesman with concern.

The elf called "Cynthia" smiled gently: "It's all alright now. Thank you for your trouble, Miss Tia."

"Do you know each other?" Yuri interjected.

Tia nodded happily: "Yuri, let me introduce you. This is Cynthia, she..."

Cynthia spoke first: "Miss Tia is my attendant, Lord Yuri."

Tia blinked: "...Huh?"

The blue-haired elf continued, "I am a clumsy elf, and this time I was tricked into becoming a commodity of the slave traders, but the loyal Miss Tia did not abandon me."

“I see…” Yuri nodded.

So that's how it is. She lied to me to protect Tia.

Although Cynthia has a more aristocratic air, Tia is actually of higher status.

Having spent years dealing with wealthy young ladies, the Holy Son had a hunch that Tia was no ordinary person.

However, he wasn't very interested in the inner workings of the elves, and they didn't play a significant role in the historical witch wars.

Cynthia observed the young knight and asked curiously, "Lord Yuri, I heard that you asked Miss Tia for help. Could you tell us what happened?"

“My lord, through divination, foresaw that a group of monsters would soon invade our territory, and she sent me out to seek reinforcements.” This was Yuri’s prepared explanation.

"So you fell asleep on the roadside and were arrested as a slave?"

Tia covered her mouth and laughed: "Pfft! You act all mature and sophisticated, but you're still just a child! No wonder kids like you!"

Earlier, Tia tried to get close to the children, but this frightened them so much that they hid behind Yuri, having never seen an elf before.

It seems that for this reason, Yuri was deeply resented by her.

"That's very impolite, Miss Tia."

Cynthia gently reminded him, then asked, "Lord Yuri, what kind of monster are you referring to?"
