Chapter 317 – 28. The World Tree, the Mother of All Elves
Inside the room after a bout of heat.
Siu heard something unexpected.
“Three, the world tree…?”
“Yes. The World Tree.”
“…”
“So be sure to empty it after 4 days. I told Ursula about this too. They say the day to return is getting closer, but no elf can say anything about the world tree.”
The second reason Ingrettia found Siwoo Han.
That was the call of the World Tree.
And the world tree is the avatar of the elven god, or incarnation.
In other words, this was the same as the call of the elven god.
“Umm. Do you know why?”
Siu asked anxiously.
What he had done kept popping into his head, and he became a little anxious.
Ingredia noticed his concern and smiled.
“It’s not because of that. It’s probably quite… A serious meeting.”
“…Something like a meeting?”
“What? Kyahahaha!!”
Siwoo spit out what came to her mind without filtering, and Ingreatia burst into laughter at her unexpected words.
Surprisingly, that’s not incorrect.
All elves are children of the world tree, the elven god.
However, she couldn’t help laughing when she thought of the third generation mother and daughter of the Elbazon royal family.
“Don’t laugh too hard…”
“Huh, I’m sorry, the owner of Siwoo♥”
“And that name is a bit…”
“Huh? Why is Siwoo’s owner?”
“Something feels strange… I’d rather just call him by his first name, like Siwoo.”
“Whoops. I don’t like it. Uh.”
“What?”
“If you don’t like it, you can give an order. The power of subordination should be enough to change the title.”
“…I don’t like that.”
“Whoops♥ Then I’ll give you three options.”
“…What.”
“Siwoo owner. Siwoo owner. Master.”
“…”
With these things, there is no reason to have a choice.
Ingrettia laughed at Siwoo, who was bewildered.
She was a loving master who, sorry to him, had a taste for teasing.
‘Still, should I do this?’
I don’t want to get angry or pout after being teased more. Because men are creatures with very strong egos.
Seeing her smiling, Siwoo stared at her and let out a sigh.
“Then just call me Siwoo master.”
“…Yes♥”
“And I wanted to say this too, um. How do I say it?”
“Hmm. Is your respect awkward?”
“I guess…”
“Siwoo, my master, do what’s convenient for you. I’ve lived so long that I don’t care about things like this. Anyway, they’re aiming. Those kids too…♥”
Ingredia chuckled and pointed out why he wasn’t sure whether to be polite or speak plain language.
Queen Alencia and Princess Alicia. Ingredia’s daughter and granddaughter.
Now Siwoo has become the owner of Ingrettia while being respectful to them, and he is somewhat awkward about the situation in which she let go of her words. She was quick-witted and made Si-woo comfortable because she noticed it long ago.
“It’s a secret that’s not a secret.”
“Huh?”
Ingraita whispered in Siwoo’s ear with a mischievous smile.
Hearing the whisper, Siwoo’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
“So, relax and do whatever you want♥”
“…If Ingrettia says so.”
Siu accepted Ingrettia’s advice.
After all, he had already made up his mind too, so he just wanted to hear her opinion on the twisted relationship. Ingredia’s attitude is firm, but I don’t know what she thinks.
“Then what shall we do now?”
“What do you do?”
“Huh?”
“I told you. Right now… I’m in very good shape.”
“Ugh, ah, ah… Uh… ♥”
Four days passed without anything else happening.
Siwoo Han has just focused on work.
It’s a pity that the time he can stay is getting shorter as each day passes, but sometimes he thinks of the women of the harem cartel who are waiting for him in the Kingdom of Palania. Not too long ago, he had been in touch with them through a magic communication sphere.
I was spending such a peaceful day, so the four days passed in an instant.
And finally, the day to meet the world tree and the elven god came.
“Hmm. It’s awkward after all.”
Thanks to that, he came to the castle early in the morning differently than usual.
The world tree, the avatar of the elven god, also serves as the great temple and sanctuary of the elven god.
As such, it took a lot of preparation to meet and enter the world tree.
“I would be grateful if you could raise your hand.”
“Okay… Yes.”
Siu awkwardly responded to the elf maid’s words.
Except for a few, all of them are imbued with Elbazon’s unique female predominance.
Even more so, the handmaid was from a noble family, by elven standards.
Nevertheless, the maids surrounding Si-woo treat him with extreme respect and wait on him.
It could be because the queen and the princess had mentioned and warned him in advance, but Siu thought it was because of the world tree. A person recognized by the World Tree or allowed to be interviewed by the World Tree. Maybe that’s why I admit it.
Thinking so made me a little scared.
‘Looking at creations, elves who fanatically believe in the world tree are usually enemies…’
It’s also very demanding.
Anxiety came over him for a moment, but soon the face that opened the door and entered him relieved him.
“Well, my son was handsome before, but he’s even better now!”
Queen Alencia nodding her head with a satisfied grin.
Seeing her, Siwoo also burst into laughter.
“Thank you, Mama.”
“Whoa. Whoop whoop. Whoop whoop!”
Alencia continued to laugh so badly that the people who saw what was so good were a little happy.
Of course, no one in Elbazon could say anything to the elven queen.
Except for the two of them.
“Daughter, why are you laughing so much…?”
“Um. Mother.”
“Haa, I know you feel good, but please keep your body at least.”
“Can you say that in the presence of the ladies-in-waiting?”
“What? Ahaha. If you don’t trust those children in this castle, who will you trust?”
“You are right.”
The conversation between the former queen and the current queen mother and daughter were not empty words.
Elf ladies-in-waiting belonging to the royal family are loyalists among loyalists carefully selected by the queen and princesses.
He boasts a level of loyalty that is different from that of the old-fashioned and boring kingdom ministers.
The queen smiled lightly as she saw the maids overhearing the conversation pretending to be indifferent, but a light smile painted on her lips. Their loyalty is gratifying. A casual compliment is a good motivator.
“Are all the preparations going?”
“Just a final makeup and that’s it, Her Highness the Queen.”
“Oops. The original woman forgot her pleasure. She’ll wait outside.”
“I see, Her Highness the Queen.”
I left the room, leaving behind the ladies-in-waiting who kept saying ‘Your Highness’ at the end of every word.
Soon after, Siu, who had finished his preparations, came out.
“Ohhh!”
“Haha, our owner Siwoo is really handsome~♥”
“Haha, it’s been a while since I’ve been dressed up like this, so it’s kind of awkward.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. My son looks good no matter what!”
Siwoo is embarrassed by the excessive amount of praise.
The fact that both elves were sincere without a single lie made him feel burdened.
“Okay, so what do we do now?”
“Okay, let’s start with a meal!”
“That’s a good idea.”
“Yes?”
Siwoo Han wondered what this meant.
I was dressed up and ready to feel a little uncomfortable, but suddenly I had breakfast.
Since he prepared from dawn, he naturally thought he would meet the World Tree right away.
“Both the World Tree and the Elf God sleep a lot in the morning. So, eat first.”
“Ah yes…”
A tree and a goddess who sleep a lot in the morning.
It may feel strange, but as the world is the world, he decides not to mind.
Again, I’m still relieved. If it’s only that much, maybe it’s better.
Gods are beings that cannot be understood by mortals.
She was the creator of this world right away, and even though she suffered countless hardships, she committed acts that were incomprehensible from the point of view of the criminal. That’s why Siwoo hoped that the elf god would finish it at this level.
‘There is so little information about the gods that it’s difficult to prepare something.’
Shi-woo heads to the restaurant with expectations and anxiety about meeting the elf god.
Another embarrassing thing happened there.
“Uh, hey…?”
“Uh-huh. Why are you like this, my son?”
“Come on, open your mouth.”
“…Ah.”
“Right.”
“My son, don’t eat only her mother’s, eat what the original daughter gives you!”
“…Yum.”
Even though it was only the four of them eating at the restaurant, Ingrettia and Alencia were too active.
They leave her seat of honor, the seat of the queen, completely empty, and feed Siwoo by her side and on both sides. It seems that it was all intentional to make them prepare with cumbersome decorations and then invite them to eat.
“Grandma. Mother. Isn’t Siwoo’s younger brother uncomfortable?”
Worse than that, it was jealousy to be precise, but Princess Alicia, who only seemed to help Siwoo, stopped the two.
“Our Siwoo owner. Eat this too.”
“Ah, be sure to try that. It’s a rare fruit from the Yorksore Forest.”
“Ah… Mmmm? This tastes like meat.”
“Yes. That’s why it is one of the favorite fruits of vegetarians.”
“…That must be popular.”
However, the two women did not pay any attention to the princess’ meddling.
Rather, he fed Siwoo more competitively.
“Urg…!”
In the case of Ingredia in particular, she even glanced at her granddaughter and laughed at her.
Alicia was unhappy, but there was nothing she could do.
Even though Siwoo, the person in question, was in trouble, he was secretly enjoying it, and the combination of the previous queen and the current queen was too much for Alicia. However, it is not possible to come and feed Siwoo now.
‘This, this… !’
The princess tasted her emotions boiling inside her.
A childish attitude that made it hard to accept what even the queen noticed.
Alicia involuntarily bit her lip.
‘I am… Really my brother… ? But… Whoa…’
Her cognitive state seemed to have degenerated in just a few days.
If Ingreatia had been able to look into her granddaughter’s heart, she would have lamented, pounding her chest in frustration. And perhaps, if she had been Alencia, she would have felt sorry for her, but she would have been glad inside. She’s at least ahead of her daughter.
After a breakfast that causes uproar in the hearts of several elves.
“Then are you ready, owner Siwoo?”
“Yes.”
Finally, Siwoo Han stood in front of the World Tree.
