"Queen!" I shouted hearing her words from the sheer amount of surprise. I expected to meet someone from higher up but now their queen wants to meet us somehow.

"Your highness is the one who permitted your group to enter the kingdom, I was hesitant because we don't welcome other races but her words are absolute inside this kingdom."

"Is she scary? I don't want to anger your leader and start a war between us," I was worried about her personality since I had no idea about what I'm about to witness.

Since Lydia and the group were far behind me they didn't hear Zenda's words but I'm pretty sure they would be shocked more than me if they hear this news.

"She's not like that, don't worry," Zenda smiled a little while answering his question.

"She's kind, beautiful and forgiving, I'm pretty sure she will find your group a pleasant surprise,"

I felt relieved hearing her words but, I didn't want to fully believe the elf race without knowing about them.

Zenda was a pretty understanding and reasonable girl but still, I had to be careful around her as she was extremely talented.

Since I wanted to let Lydia know about this new development, I said farewell to Zenda and went back to the group.

They were pretty curious about what I talked about with them but when I dropped the bomb about who we are going to meet all of them panicked.

"Will it be okay? What if she looks down on us?" Alva was pretty negative about it but Lydia had a pretty excited face to see this new race.

"Zenda said she's kind, I'm not fully believing her but let's see," I couldn't even finish those words as I heard a huge sound of something.

I didn't know what exactly it was but suddenly there was a huge chamber in front of us like we just teleported somewhere else.

"What just happened?" Confused about this whole incident, I didn't know how to react.

"Calm down, everyone," Suddenly we heard a beautiful and melodic voice like it was some sort of an angel just coming inside our ears.

"What?" I couldn't even react because as soon as I looked in front of me, I was met with the most beautiful scenery I had ever seen.

The whole throne was decorated with various flowers but none of them looked ordinary as each and everyone was moving like they were alive. The whole stage had thorny vines surrounding it like it was some kind of a forest but rather than giving it a wild look these thorns managed to add elegance to it.

Most of all I was mesmerized by the beauty who was sitting on this majestic throne gracefully like she was some kind of a higher being that we are not allowed to see.

Even though I hated to agree with it, she might be the most beautiful woman I had seen after coming here because her beauty was in another league compared to everyone in this room.

Her silvery white hair which fell gracefully along her neck with an expensive-looking tiara on her head screamed her status in this kingdom. Just like most of the women in this strange world she also had a well-defined face but what attracted me most was her beautiful smile. It can be only explained in a single word. She was stunning.

Her nipples were covered by rare-looking blue gems as she was almost naked like every other woman in this chamber. I tried to take a quick peek but unlucky for me I couldn't see anything. Her breasts were bigger than Lydia but there wasn't a huge gap but their bottoms were like comparing a mango tree to a coconut tree in height as they were totally different mango tree being Lydia and Tisha being the coconut tree.

"Human children, I'm glad to have you here in my humble forest," Lydia felt weird and jealous seeing someone so beautiful in front of her.

"This is my chamber of nature, and I'm the current high elf queen of this kingdom, Tisha Elastina,"

As soon as she introduced herself I bowed my head showing my respect. Others also followed in my footsteps and did the same thing.

"Our greetings, Queen Elastina," We collectively said even though we didn't get ready for this.

Zenda kept looking at everything with a natural face. The previous friendly smile she had on her face was nowhere to be seen.

"We are from the south of this forest, a human city," She didn't show a change in her expression even after hearing our words.

"I heard you helped my children when they were getting attacked by those vile creatures, you have my thanks for that," She didn't act too familiar with us as she quickly came to the subject.

"We won't tolerate anything happening to kids, be it elves or humans," Lydia spoke with a respectful but intimidating tone. She didn't do it purposefully but it was a result of the anger she had for dark elves.

"We appreciate it," After a brief pause Tisha suddenly spoke as she already knew what we were thinking.

"I expect humans came here because of this dark elf threat," I knew it was rather easy to guess as we had no other reason to enter the elf forest.

It was either for a friendly relationship or an unhealthy relationship but this time we wanted friendship.

"Queen Elastina, we would like to propose an alliance between our two races to defeat this threat that bloomed dangerously harming our precious future," I tried to be fancy as much as I can thinking of a way to leave a positive impression on them.

If I want I could have shown them fairy and convinced them but I wanted to see their real behaviour toward other races instead of some acting.

She suddenly went quiet as she took her seat and closed her eyes like she was thinking about something.

"I will be honest, we have absolutely no reason to fight them, as long as we are behind this wall nobody can harm us," Her words took everyone in the group by surprise including me.

'But their activities are too suspicious these days, it looks like they are getting ready for something big," She looked at Zenda all of a sudden like she was asking for help.

"We got information that they are kidnapping people instead of killing them, I honestly have no idea why they are doing something like that."

"It's the same way with us, the first thing they ask is sacrifices instead of straight up going for war," I added to her context.historical

Even though it looked like they didn't entertain the idea of forming an alliance, they were still concerned about these unusual activities of dark elves.

"We have a lot of information on these dark elves and I think if we combine our knowledge and power, we can beat them," I tried my best to convince them with words.

At first, they looked like they didn't want to accept anything but the more I explained things to them, the more they felt like this wasn't something minor like kidnapping or anything.

The thing that mostly triggered them was cursed monsters which were mostly dead but dark elves still them using their corpses.

I explained to them about Eldora and how our race suffered under them and I didn't forget to add some spice to it showing how they will also be affected by this and told some sad stories which almost caused Tisha to tear up.

"No way, innocent monsters," For some reason when I told her about the story of the monster that attacked Usha and Eva's mother she started to cry but what was unexpected was her tears were like jewels.

The moment they touched the floor, flowers started to bloom there like it was some kind of fertilizer.

Lydia and our group also had tears in their eyes seeing her crying. Everyone in the chamber was crying except for me.

"Lydia, stop crying what are you doing?" I was honestly surprised by this event. Sure it was sad to hear about such a tragic story but I never thought Lydia and her group would cry.

*Sobs

"I feel sad seeing the elven queen crying, I can't hold back my tears," It was like she was being affected by the elf queen.

"Your highness, what do you say? We can defeat this evil if we join our hands together and work as one," Ignoring everyone's sobbing, I questioned her as this was the critical time to bring this up.

*Sigh

"According to what you said this isn't any normal kidnapping but how can we believe if it's true or not?" Her words didn't come as a surprise but I honestly felt sad.

"How do I prove it?" I didn't know how to answer her as I kept thinking about everything happened to us until now.

"Elven queen believe me what I said was true, these dark elves are planning something and it isn't anything good," I didn't know how to convince her since I had no proof except my words.

She looked like she was thinking for a minute but suddenly she pointed at someone with her graceful movement.

"You! Light magic user, you will make a vow right now promising everything 'she' said was right," She pointed at Nym who was hiding behind Lydia.

Even she had some tears in her eyes. I couldn't help but wonder how she knew Nym was a light mage.

"Your highness, may I ask how did you know she was a light mage? I don't remember revealing it to you," By now I was sure they won't attack us but still I didn't foolishly believe them.

"What do you mean? I thought you knew," She looked at Zenda who was avoiding my eye contact.

"She's the main reason why I allowed you to visit this kingdom," Her words took everyone in our group by surprise including me.

"Haaa?" Even Nym had a dumbfounded face which was quite hilarious.
