417 The Elven Kings Wife (1/2)
The house of the king of the Elven Kingdom was quite big even though it wasn't a palace, but the fact that besides Yale, Lina, and the king himself there wasn't anyone else there made it seem bigger.
The king didn't like having servants, his wife worked supervising the university, and his sons were still attending their lessons in the Elven University.
Usually, the home was alright for the size of their family, but at that moment, it seemed too empty.
Moreover, everyone was in silence because the king didn't know about what topic speak without the risk of offending Yale and Line, while Yale and Lina didn't plan to speak of anything important in front of outsiders.
It wasn't until some hours later when the king's wife returned followed by Nurvey, Mercer, Merumi, and Kaigur, that someone finally spoke.
”Master, you really found us!”
Mercer and Merumi spoke at the same time and were about to rush towards Yale, but when they saw Lina besides Yale, they decided to restrain themselves.
Mercer and Merumi had grown up, and they weren't kids anymore, so they were better controlling their emotions than before.
Kaigur wasn't especially close with Yale, so he just bowed slightly, and Nurvey was staring Lina wondering how she managed to be so close to Yale.
Nurvey had improved her social problems a lot since she was forced to become a teacher in the university, but she was still without words in front of Yale and Lina.
Yale and Lina were sat together since they reached the house, but when Lina noticed that the others were coming, she leaned towards Yale and hugged him. Of course, that was part of their plan to make the rest believe in their relationship, and Nurvey was also one of the important targets of the plan.
”I am glad that you are safe. You seem to have worked hard these ten years. Come, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, Lina. She is who saved Wyba and Aiwai.”
Mercer and Merumi felt glad that Yale found a girlfriend, although Mercer felt a bit sad for Lar and Aizu who were like sisters to him.
Nurvey's face changes immediately after hearing Yale's words because since Lina saved Wyba, no matter her relationship with Yale, in Nurvey's eyes she was a great person.
Lina introduced herself and ensured to make clear that Yale's father wanted them to marry to dispel any intentions of Nurvey towards Yale, but Nurvey felt that for having saved Wyba, Lina deserved it, so there wasn't any need to say those words.
”So, you are the famous ruler of the eastern continent. I heard a lot about you.”
The king's wife spoke politely while bowing towards Yale. She always refused to be considered the queen, so she was just considered the king's wife. No one knew why she wanted to have such a low profile when her power was more than enough to stand in an important position.
However, she never tried to take advantage of her power and dedicated her life to the Elven University to help the young ones to improve.
The only one who understood her reasons was the king. He knew that his wife was a reincarnation and that she felt grateful for having a second chance in life, so she wanted to spend all her effort helping the elves.
The king had heard a bit about her past life, and although he didn0t know the details, she suffered a lot, which made the treatment she received after reincarnating being much better.
”Of course, you know about me. In your previous life, you were one of the Law Masters who attacked the eastern continent more than thirty thousand years ago.”
Everyone froze when they heard Yale's words. The king already knew about it, but he never expected that Yale would discover it at first sight. The same applied to the king's wife; she somehow felt that Yale would end discovering it, but not so quick.
Lina stared the king's wife with a deadly glare. If it weren't because she had taken care of Yale's disciples and friends, she would have killed her immediately. She had heard about how Aiwai had suffered due to the True Empire, so everyone related to them was an enemy in Lina's eyes.
Nurvey, Mercer, Merumi, and Kaigur couldn't believe that those words were true because the king's wife treated them very well, but seeing her face, they understood that Yale was right.
”It is just as you said. I was forced to attack your continent. My existence was just a puppet on the hands of my superiors, and there was no way for me to oppose. I know that my reasons aren't enough to clear my sins, and at that time I didn't feel that I was being controlled so much. It was only after killing myself before you killed me and forcing a random reincarnation that I saw that I lived controlled by the lies of my superiors the whole time. If you want to kill me, go ahead. I am ready.”
