Chapter 35: Leaving the Elf Clan
Chapter 35: Leaving the Elf Clan
When Orina heard the end of the story, she realized that things did not seem to be as she initially thought.
Alan, this stubborn young man, did not agree to her monetary aid. Instead, he was using his own methods to earn money.
After all, when the elf tribe was trading with Alan, there was no limit to any level of Lafite. As long as they could afford it, Alan would continuously supply it for a reasonable price.
After hearing what Olivia said, she knew that Alan did not tell the princess the truth about his magic Lafite. With this knowledge, Orina's mood instantly improved.
She could even imagine the scene in which Alan was deceiving the princess, and she could not help but laugh.
Olivia waited for a long time, but she did not receive a reply from the queen. Instead, the queen suddenly laughed foolishly. She felt that it was inexplicable, but she could not help but complain in her heart, 'Could this queen Orina be the kind of "idiot" that Alan often talks about...'
Suddenly, Olivia looked at Orina with sympathy in her eyes. Even if you have a high status, even if you are extremely beautiful, it's a pity that you are an idiot...
Every time she thought of that weak young man who seemed to have a sense of charm around him, her heart warmed up.
Thinking of that young man who treated her as his only good friend, the expression on Orina's face instantly softened. The corners of her mouth curled up with a gentle smile.
Orina did not know it, but Olivia, who saw her change, was shocked. 'No matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem normal...'
"Your Majesty Orina, what do you think of this proposal?" Olivia asked softly.
She came back to her senses after being reminded. After thinking carefully for a while, she proposed her final conditions.
"Aside from the original conditions, each year Oreste will provide the elves with 100 sets of iron bows and spears, 10 bottles of mid-level and high-level magic Lafite each, the right to purchase food, iron weapons, and magic tools, as well as the right to allow the entire elf race to enter your empire for refuge."
Olivia counted with her fingers and carefully memorized the queen's final conditions. Finally, she proposed her own conditions. "If the elf clan agrees to give Oreste the right to purchase the materials from the Tree of Life and Spring of Eleves, I will agree to all of your conditions."
"I agree. As long as you don't abuse them, I will grant the Oreste empire special permission to purchase these two materials."
"Then it's a deal!"
After the discussion, Orina called for the civil servant. She would write the magic contract and write down the conditions that the two of them had just agreed on. Then, both parties would sign their names and leave their respective magic imprints. A white light flashed on the contract, it proved that the contract had been approved by the God of Magic and was effective.
"So, Olivia, we are now allies. Can you tell me what plans you have for the upcoming battle for the throne?" Because on the contract, Oliva signed her name and not the name of the current emperor, which proved her ambition.
From the fact that Alan chose her to be the one who bought the high-level magic Lafite at a high price, it was enough to prove that she had a certain degree of trustworthiness. They might even have a good relationship. She did not mind helping out Alan's friend a little.
Olivia felt the change in Orina's attitude towards her and was a little flattered. The atmosphere between the two of them was tense before, but after signing, it became harmonious. Was this reasonable, or was there some detail that had been left out?
However, since they were already allies, it was more comfortable to get along with each other.
Olivia organized her words and spoke out her thoughts and plans.
Those who remained in the treehouse were trustworthy people. As the elven queen, Orina would not meddle in the internal affairs of humans, so she was safe.
The two of them chatted happily and even drank two glasses of elven wine together.
Orina was still a little emotional. After all, ever since she met Alan, she hadn't drunk anything other than Lafite.
As she drank, her thoughts gradually drifted elsewhere. She could not help but recall the intimate things that happened when she first drank in the tavern.
It was the first time that Orina was touched by a man in such a private area. It even caused Sophia to get drunk in the tavern.
That night, the three of them shared a bed. Thinking back, it was still the same as yesterday. She did not know if Alan's tavern business had improved during this time, or if the young man was still worried about money every day.
As the Queen of the Elves, Orina was destined to not be able to act as she pleased. Her every word and action represented the elves, and she didn't dare to reveal the little thoughts in her heart. After all, she knew that she couldn't be with a human.
"Hey, Olivia, have you thought about it? When you become the queen, you will lose your freedom. Even so, you still want to go back and fight for it?" Orina asked curiously.
The princess looked at her in confusion. Although she did not understand why she would suddenly ask such a question, she still answered honestly.
"If I don't fight for it, then compared to losing my freedom, I might lose my life." The helplessness in Olivia's tone was obvious.
Everyone was silent for a long time. Orina said, "You humans are complicated."
She had lost her freedom, but she had also gained many things that others would never be able to obtain in their entire lives. She did not know if such an exchange was equivalent, but to Orina, it was just a cage that trapped her.
As for Olivia, losing her freedom was nothing compared to saving her life.
Orina laughed self-deprecatingly. As for the princess who just became an adult, when she saw her smile that carried a deep sense of loneliness, her heart could not help but ache for her.
Olivia felt that she could understand a little of Orina's feelings. After all, after becoming the queen, this female elf had lost herself.
As for herself, after thinking about it, she still felt that compared to freedom, she wanted to survive first.
..
The moment the two of them signed the contract, the news that Oreste was now an ally spread across the entire elf clan. In the future, many human products could be bought freely.
Maya brought the remaining knights and sent the goods into the teleportation portal. In the square where the goods were counted, many elves were watching.
Orina only took a glance from afar before leaving.
On the other hand, Olivia brought Stanton and the little maid back to the resting area that the queen prepared for them. When everything was done in the square, the other knights would return with the goods that they would take away the next day.
At the round table in front of Orina's treehouse, the moment she came back, she saw that everything was just as it was when she left.
She felt indignant in her heart. These old fellows drank in front of her house for an entire day while she was busy!
"Orina, you're back. We all know what happened. You handled it very well. From now on, the elf clan will be in your hands. We old fellows can let go of it completely."
The great elder acted as if she did not see Orina's dark face as she continued to speak.
"I'm leaving with Sofia Tomorrow. There's nothing much going on in the clan recently. Elders, please take care of it."
Everyone had different expressions after hearing Orina's decision. For the entire day, they heard much from Sofia about Alan and the relationship between Alan and Orina. Even though they were only friends for now, but relationships are hard to determine...
The third elder was about to refuse when the great elder spoke first, "Go. It's okay if you want to visit your friends. You can also get in touch with little Alan."
She agreed so easily? Orina and Sofia were both very surprised. She did not continue asking and simply agreed and went into her treehouse.
The wine tasting party outside the door finally ended under the setting sun.
The next morning, after Orina sent off Olivia's convoy, she left the elven base with Sofia.
Orina was enjoying her short period of freedom, and her mood could be seen with the naked eye.
