Chapter 125 -Moat Cailin (V)
"I wanted to see you one more time, my beloved Shiera Seastar..." Aenar murmured, reading the letter in his hand.

Leaf looked like an adult, but she was slightly taller than a child, but not childish. Her skin was brown, with lighter patches that resembled the fur of a deer. She had three fingers and a thumb on each hand, sharp black claws instead of nails, and large ears.
What was most striking about Leaf was her hair: a tangle of brown, red and gold strands, the colors of autumn, with vines, twigs and wilted flowers entwined in her locks.
Under her hair, a crown of flowers and vines could be seen, evidencing her high status among the Children of the forest.
"Thank you, Your Grace." Seeing that Aenar seemed receptive and kind, Leaf breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she knew she wouldn't be hurt by Brynden, she still felt a little stressed in front of such a powerful being.
Sitting down in the chair opposite Aenar, Leaf knew it was polite to drink her host's drink and took a sip without hesitation. However, as soon as she did, she started coughing after a small sip of wine.
"Haha!!!" Aenar couldn't help but laugh at seeing the queen in such an embarrassing situation. He couldn't believe that a little wine and alcohol could make such a mystical being look so embarrassed.
Leaf wanted the ground to open up and swallow her when she heard the laughter of the king sitting in front of her. She couldn't believe that grapes could taste so bad. How humans could drink something so unpleasant was a mystery she longed to understand.
Putting aside the idea of drinking wine, Leaf put the cup back on the table and looked at Aenar seriously, as if nothing had happened.
"As I said before, I am Leaf, Sixteenth of My Name and Queen of the Forest Court."
