Heavenly Castle

Faced out of the carriage window, Maire raised her voice.

"There it is! There!"

When Maire shouted that way, two elves looked out the opposite window and looked forward. In front of you is a part of the robot's arm in charge of the carriage and the earth flowing backwards, and there are several simple tents lined up in a light brown primitive.

"Not so much anymore......!

That's what the man's elf said in a playful voice.

There are shadows everywhere near the tent and the carriages lined up around it, all of them like elves.

Looking at the two delightful elves, Trane, who sat heavily in the carriage, also loosened his cheeks.

Without much, the carriage carrying the Maires descends near the other carriages, where the elves gather.

"Lit! Shall!

"You guys are safe!

Such a voice sounds and two elves jump out of the carriage.

"Türk! How many years have you been...!

"Ha! Ha ha! It's like a dream!

When the tall man elf said so and laughed, the elf, called Lit, nodded with tears seeping into his eyes.

And then I see the woman's elf showing up for a small run from behind the tent, and Charles runs out loud.

"Mother!"

That's what he shouted and Shall hugged that elf. The hugged elf also weeps and puts his hand on Schal's shoulder.

"Char...... I'm glad you look good. I can't believe I'm seeing you again..."

On the occasion of an inspiring reunion, Maire and Trane, who came out of the carriage, are also crying.

And the robot who brought the carriage was quietly watching how it went.

[Taiki]

"I'm impressed, Dear Tyki..."

He nods back at Eira, who groans like that as he rinses his nose, and opens his mouth.

"Right. Still, are those two sisters? Doesn't seem like much difference in years..."

When she said so, Eira laughed like she was in trouble.

"I can't tell the age of an elf. You're so young, you could be your grandfather's age."

Hear those words and recognize once again that the elves are long-lived.

"Right. Still, I'd be stunned if I looked like I was in my twenties or something. Hmm? And could that late teenager be older than me, too"

Elf, do not be afraid. Looking at the view on the screen with deep amazement, all the elves on the screen turned their faces in the same direction.

The robot also changes the direction of the body there, and the footage on the screen changes the scenery so that it flows.

What was reflected there was a new flying carriage and the appearance of a robot lifting and floating it. From the window of the carriage, besides the elves, there was the figure of Rant and Schnae.

"Mr. Rant and the others are here, too. It took me a little while to get away from the city, but they're all looking good."

When I am so relieved, Violet, who had remained silent until then, utters a sharp and low voice in her eyes.

"... half a day from the city of Abrau to the Imperial City... I'm tired of being surprised already..."

Eira nodded and replied to the words for some reason.

"In the last few days, you have understood that with the power of the Empire, you are no match for Master Tyke. Now, for the sake of the Empire, tell me where the last elf is."

When Eira tells him so, Violet clasps her shoulders and shakes her neck to the left and right.

"... Now, how do I tell you something I don't know? Besides, if the emperor doesn't give up, the dispute is inevitable in the end. I can lend you a hand, but nothing will change, will it?

"Ugh... well, that's not true. For example, if you, the general, propose peace, the emperor may soften his opinion somewhat..."

"It's impossible, isn't it?"

"Ahhh..."

Eira, who should have told the story, is more atrophied by the slightly irritating story.

Seeing that, I opened my mouth.

"What if, for example, I brought peace directly to the Emperor? You can't give up this castle to the emperor, but you can also benefit the empire with deals and such. I think it's better for each other than to fight."

When asked so, Violet silences for a while.

I've casually observed it, but it still seemed Violet was keeping a distance here and there.

I don't know if that's from my position as general of the Empire, but I still don't think I'm willing to cooperate with you here.

With that in mind, Violet opened her mouth quietly.

"... ok. So, should I have a letter stating your request? I will take it directly to His Majesty. I do not guarantee the results......"

Violet answers that and stares at this one.

I nod back, feeling a little uncomfortable in that gaze.

"Then let's get it ready right away. However, this will not be until we release all the elves."

When he heard my answer, Violet replied, slightly up the edge of his mouth, "Okay."
