A Wish to Grab Happiness

Episode 190: The Queen of Elves

Garou, Amalia, gently rub your sleepy eyes in front of the Great Castle Gate.

The sound of a big bell rang slightly on my sleeping head. A unique dull pain like a hangover crawls up from his heel to his body and runs up his spine.

"... you didn't have to bother calling me, did you? Because every person has their turn here."

A voice that seemed displeased with my words stunned my ear.

"If you don't show up now, where the hell are you going to get the dialogue? My lord gave me a leg. Then, naturally, the role of the knight will be the most welcome."

Erdis smiled at her cheeks against words as she moved her lips. A biological girlfriend stands here now, unlike the phantom she once showed up in Gallu Amalia.

Eldis. Officially, now that she has become queen, she also adds the title Finn, which becomes Finn-Eldis.

Who made herself the female lord of Gaza, the aerial garden where the elves dwell, and who, like Karia and Fialert, was once a party on the journey of salvation.

But now the appearance and the atmosphere emanating from Erdis is a long way from what I used to know.

At any rate, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she once lacked some equilibrium of that spirit. A being who had no interest other than Hert-Stanley, the Savior, and looked to the world with terribly cold eyes, as if there was no point in that place or everything else. Bottomless fear, or the very symbol of destruction. That was the statue of a girl named Eldis who still exists in me.

But what about Eldis in front of you right now?

Brilliant blue-eyed with its clear will. Sophisticated until you have one fingertip movement, and a choice of words to make you feel weighted.

The atmosphere she wraps up in is undoubtedly that of the conductor. The chillness that I used to show in the fold of my journey and the spiritual fragility that I had when I lay my hands on it in Gaza is very unlikely to be seen by Erdis today.

Standing before Gallu Amalia with a significant number of soldiers and ministers, she was showing herself as the undisputed Lord of Elves.

I see, I heard more about the birth of a royal family, but if there is a duty and consciousness as a queen there, does this also transform?

I myself felt that Eldis had some kind of cowardice very similar to me, or something like weakness engraved deep in my heart. The transformation was just a little unexpected. Of course, it's not a bad thing, but I feel like I'm being left behind all the time.

But if you're going to behave in grandeur as queen, you might as well go out of your way to summon me in discretion. Wouldn't that also be a disgrace to Erdis?

Such thoughts would have seeped out even at the edge of words and attitudes. Again, somewhere dissatisfied, Eldis said in a grumpy manner.

"Look, Rugis. Today is a joint meeting between Gaza and the Crest, and you are a man on my side."

That's like the owner of a store slowly telling his ill remembered brother-in-law.

Are the ministers of the surrounding Eldis rare in the tone that Eldis emits today? He kept his eyes round and listened to me and Eldis for a long time.

As I stroke my lips with my fingertips, I narrow my eyes and encourage Eldis to speak.

"Then there must be an attitude to take. Look, Rugis. I'm going to make that clear today."

Eldis' words seemed to tangle on my limbs somewhere, and his nature differed slightly from that of a deafening voice, which the wind stroked from time to time.

I felt what I could say was an unpleasant hunch sticking to my spine. Speaking of which, did Anne say that Eldis was asking for my delivery? That's why I asked you to clarify your attitude. I guess Eldis is telling me about it in the dark.

But there's one thing I don't know. Erdis is asking for my surrender.

That again, why not? I don't know what that is.

Me and Eldis did tie hands once in Gaza, beating Finn-Largeas, Eldis' uncle, who was a common enemy.

But if I tell you, that's all there is between me and Eldis. Later, I lived in the same tower with precision, just a little bit, and exchanged words, to that extent.

No, what. It's not like I'm Tang Wenki. The world of the back streets is a place where you can't live without poor conjecture of others. Being sensitive to the emotions and fluctuations of others is more important than living as a poor person.

Therefore, I understand that Eldis has some special emotions for me. Of course, there must be a line about my mistake. It would be a good story if I were alone then.

But I still don't know why. Whatever I say, it's like I used Eldis for my own purposes. It's like waking up a soldier by charging Eldis, who didn't have the will to do that.

How can there be a basement where comfortable emotions can arise?

If they throw up evil, I know. If you can only stare at your enemies, I know. Even though it is, if you are directed at emotions that are not bad, you even create something like guilt at the same time as the upset around the back of your gut.

The darkness behind me scratches my brain, wondering if I'm fooling her unknowingly.

Eldis got off his horse in front of the Great Castle Gate in Gallu Amalia, hoping to get his hands on me.

When me and the civilians in Gaza round their eyes and return their gaze about what they're talking about, Eldis takes my hand himself and walks straight ahead.

Naturally, I followed that step. I have to keep going as Eldis walks, because it's something that's more of a hard grip on my arm than that.

Again, I don't know, because I don't know, I'm scared. Anyway, every time I see Eldis on a trip I blink, it comes to me.

Karia and the emotions that I also felt when I thought Fialert had a special emotion for me were now in my chest.

What is it, a near-awe-inspiring emotion that you may have made an interminable mistake somewhere? Different path was supposed to be chosen, and at the end of it, the upset that I might have gotten here now, licked my spine.

Dry lips, shivering.

"But what. You've been a fine queen and mistress for a long time, dude. It's not the same as when you were scared in the tower."

I said that in a small voice so as to hide the tremor of my lips and the upset in my chest. That is such a small voice that it would only sound like Eldis nearby.

Whatever, if her minister asks Eldis to tell her that you've become a fine queen, they won't shut up about the boulder either. Rather than being disrespectful, you can't complain about being slaughtered and killed on the spot.

Erdis gave me a void look for a moment, wondering what he was saying to my words. I told him it was a real surprise.

At the end of the day, have I ever said something so strange? I simply leaked a word that came up in my chest.

Eldis, in somewhat suspicious caged words, like this, gave it back.

"I wonder what you're talking about. You're going to be a fine queen, and I'm just protecting it. Or did you have any other instructions for me?

Erdis' beautiful, brilliant, blue eyes pointed this way, I see. Gyu, the power to grab your arms is strengthened. The look on Eldis' face must have really raised natural questions.

I had no idea what words to give back. All I could do was slowly walk down the road to the floor with just a raw reply leaking out of my lips.

I've already made up my mind. That's why I'll just say one word later. Even so, the word weighed strangely and slipped down to the back of his throat.
