Chapter 256 - 9.29
"Your Majesty, this is not normal. You will get hate for doing this," A minister inside the Elven Palace protested after they heard their King’s request.
King Elduin sat on his throne with a deep gaze to the ministers who tried to stop him. He had been a good king for them for one year. In one year, the previously passive Elven Kingdom had expanded far and wide.
King Elduin ordered the Elven scouts to go and scout as many forest and lush jungle as possible. He focused more on building the kingdom, and it was deemed successful when the Sacred Tree Spirit gave the elves hundreds of sacred fruits every day. It was a sign that the elves would live prosperously for centuries.
King Elduin become a very formidable king in just a short time after his travel. Many elven nobles tried to match their daughters to the King. But the Elven King didn’t even bat an eye on them.
A year had passed since Elven King returned from his journey to the east. The journey was actually short, but the impact was significant for the Elven Kingdom.
First, the Elven Priest, Priest Erolith Virdhitas, didn’t return to the Elven Kingdom with the Elven King. King Elduin said that Priest Erolith was currently residing inside the Sacred Tree to heal from his wound.
They had successfully retrieved the essence of the earth, but King Elduin had changed so much after he returned. He became earnest in doing his job and worked really hard to improve the Elven Kingdom.
He also became a bit reclusive and would immediately smash down any talk about replacing the Elven Priest or finding a queen for the throne.
Elven King’s rejection of any marriage proposal led to this day, where the minister was shocked when King Elduin suddenly said. "I will announce to all of you about the future of the Kingdom and the name of my queen."
