Book 6: Chapter 41
Elven goods are excellent to humans because their goods, which were made with mana, are more beautiful and exquisite than that humans make. However, due to the fact that the products contain mana, elves are needed in order to make the products.
I went to Vyvyan’s room, again.
I don’t know what the story is, but Vyvyan has been in an especially good mood recently. So good that she doesn’t get angry when she sees me taking a stroll with Elizabeth. Instead, she presses her hands on her stomach and looks at Elizabeth with an extremely strange smile, the way you’d smile when mocking and looking down on someone.
That caused Elizabeth and me to be completely bewildered as to what was going on.
“Didn’t Mommy tell you already? Although Mommy loves you, Mommy cannot use Mommy’s influence to make elves work for humans. The elves won’t agree to it, even if I order them to. In the end, you will have endless conflict and contradictions, too. Mommy is thinking for your betterment, Son.” Vyvyan rejected me once again.
She wore a comforting smile as she stroked my head. She then said, “Sorry my son. If you need Mommy, Mommy won’t hesitate to stay. But Mommy can’t get the others to be like Mommy. Mommy isn’t a tyrant like Elizabeth. Mommy can bring it up with them, but cannot force them.”
I nodded. I could understand Mom’s difficulties.
The elves didn’t want to interact too much with the outside world, to begin with. However, I didn’t give up because I knew my father was an elf who was willing to interact with humans, back then. I have faith that an elf, among the elves, is willing to interact with humans.
“Mom, didn’t my father want to interact with humans back then? Are there still elves willing to interact with humans? Elves and humans have started trade relations, so they should be communicating a lot more than in the past. Is there no elf who is willing to live here in humanity’s lands?”
