Chapter 229 - 9.2
Elven Priest Erolith was sitting inside a wooden carriage when he entered the Elven Palace, Myriad Palace. It was a grand palace in the middle of the forest, quite far from the Eleven capital. It was meant to be built near the Sacred Tree, so the Elven King could communicate and also protect the tree.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace courtyard, and a tall and robust man with short hair and pointy ears greeted Priest Erolith. He wore a wood crown, signifying his status, despite him refusing to wear the other King’s garment. He wore a high-quality elven tunic instead.
He strode towards the carriage door and opened it personally, "Erolith, it’s been a while!" King Elduin said as he hugged Erolith tightly, "I’m sorry I can’t invite you here often because I have way too many things to do."
"A—Ah... I have a lot of things to do as well..." Erolith replied meekly.
King Elduin smiled and held Erolith’s hand, "Well, we have a lot to talk about. Let’s talk in my private garden."
King Elduin pulled Priest Erolith intimately as if they had known each other for a long time. Yunyu was baffled. How could this King, who was rumoured to have slowly descended into madness, looked very kind and stable?
[Pupa, did I miss something here? What is the relationship between Elduin and Erolith?]
[Pupa: Well, Elduin and Erolith are childhood friends. Erolith was Elduin’s study mentor because he is five years older than Elduin. In fact, your relationship with him is more like older and little brothers. At some point, Elduin called you Big Ero.]
[Big Ero... Hmmmmmm...]
[Pupa: What?]
[Nope, don’t mind me.]
