Book 1: Chapter 6
“Your highness, could I please ask you to hold onto me tightly? The remainder of the trip may feel a bit uncomfortable for you.”
Lucia princess-carried me as she stood at the entrance of the imperial palace. If we switched roles here, we’d have ourselves a beautiful scene…
Lucia tore both sides of her skirt for ease of movement, thereby revealing her long white legs. I embarrassedly hugged her around her neck as she took a deep breath and jumped. In a split second, the strong ripping sound of the air whistled violently right in my ear, and the speed made it impossible to breathe. I don’t understand why it’s so uncomfortable for me when I’m also an elf. Could it be because I don’t have the support of wind elves?
What came next was the crash landing. Actually, it wasn’t a crash landing. Lucia glided through the air, so we didn’t just crash into the ground. Lucia carried me through the air as she watched the eight elders carriages leave. Carrying me did not affect her dexterity at all.
Lucia gently landed and put me down. She just flew through the air while carrying me and yet she still looks half-asleep… Even her breathing hasn’t sped up. Her physical attributes are scary. No wonder she’s a captain at such a young age.
“Please head downstairs. All the books are down below.”
The leader of the eight must be the most outstanding one among them. He respectfully bowed towards us and led us into his room. This must be the hollow tree with the best atmosphere in the city. Well, I guess we should call this huge tree his house. I initially thought that this was just a decoration, but once I entered the hollow tree, I dropped my jaw when I saw how spacious it was. On the outside it’s just a tree. But, inside it’s no less than the size of a villa.
Elves possess really high-level magic.
Breathing in the fresh air from the green leaves, we followed the elder down his twirling staircase. He pulled out a key and opened the door. As the door swung open, the scent of ink filled the air. Even though this was an underground room, sunlight still shone through. It didn’t look like the room was underground. Was this also the work of magic?
