The result was nothing.

Due to time constraints, Fia did not take out the books in the entire library to read page by page. She only picked out the books that might be left to her by the elf princess. As a result, after an hour passed, Fia did not find anything worthwhile. Attention or dubious books.

There are so many books here that I can only order the maid to look them up for me, it is too inefficient to read them one by one.

Thinking in her heart, Fia, who was suspended in the air by "flying", closed the book, and she should go to the places where other elf princesses often go.

Fiya, who fell back to the ground, walked towards the double door that came in, but just when her right hand was on the doorknob, she stopped suddenly.

Her gaze followed the left wall all the way to the end.

When I came in, I didn't notice that there was another door at the end of the corridor on the right side of the room. It reminded me that the maid said that this is the library and the magic testing ground. Behind this door is probably a place called the magic testing ground.

It should also be the place where the elf princess often goes.

Curiosity drove Fia to the left, and gently pushed open the heavy metal door due to the application of too many magic circles.

The extremely empty hall came into view.

Below is the oval test site, and the surrounding walls are covered with a thin layer of crystals that reflect crystal luster. Above these walls, there are daylighting windows for ventilation. Although it is indoors, the empty test site is full of people. bright.

It's just that compared to the testing ground itself, what Fia cares more about is that there are actually people in the testing ground.

The distance between the two parties was at least 30 meters, but Fia could still see each other's face clearly.This is a girl about his own age.Her clothes are obviously different from the traditional costumes of this world. It is a red and white outfit with a rather exotic style. If you want to ask Fia to say, Fia can only give words like priestess clothing—not the ones that were hunted in the Middle Ages. Witches, but Japanese-style shrine maidens who serve the gods in shrines.

The witch didn't notice Fiya approaching, she still closed her eyes lightly, dancing in the training ground.

A slow and soft dance like Kagura.

Even though there was neither an accompaniment nor the atmosphere that a shrine should have, Fia still felt a holy aura from this witch.The maiden's wide coat and skirt danced as she turned around, and the sunlight reflected on the pale golden hair and the sweat on the girl's forehead, making the air waft like a golden goblin.The entire Kagura was full of beauty, so that Fia did not dare to make too much noise, for fear of disturbing the priestess who seemed to be communicating with the gods.

It is simply an elf transformed by the will of the world, born with a transparent and ethereal beauty.

After a while, Fia quietly used the "Wind of Exploration" to spy on the [-]-year-old girl, and then, as if someone stepped on a branch, the miko who was immersed in the dance slowly stopped and opened her eyes. Those sea-blue eyes filled with mysterious brilliance, as if they could see through people's hearts.

"who are you?"

In less than a second, the eyes that were full of oppression just now are now only approachable and doubtful, the girl with blond hair and blue eyes asked Fia.

Chapter 18 No.17 Princess

This is my home, shouldn't you be the first to declare your home?

Although she was stunned for a moment by the emotionless eyes of the blond witch at first, Fia quickly realized that she raised her eyebrows and said as she looked at the witch who was walking towards her.

"I should be the one to say that."

This witch is obviously not a member of the maid group. If I remember correctly, the elderly maid said that this entire palace was built by the Elf King for himself, and no other royal family lived here.

"Me?" The witch with her blond hair tied into ponytails was taken aback for a moment, and then she folded her hands in front of her body and smiled wryly as if embarrassed, "Ahaha... Indeed, I should introduce myself first, my name is Shenyue."

"Deep Moon..."

Fia repeated in a low voice, the pronunciation of this name is obviously not an elf language, but more like an orc language like Chiharu.

Seemingly understanding Fiya's doubts, Shenyue explained.

"I was born in the Cold Moon Alliance, so my name is Orcish. Although I also have a name in Elvish, I'm not very used to it. I usually use Deep Moon."

"I see."

Just as I guessed.

Because the elf's appearance was about the same age as her, Fia also showed a casual attitude towards her peers, she asked with a smile.

"What are you doing here? I just stayed in the opposite library for a long time, but I didn't see anyone coming in."

"I came in through that door over there, but you can actually enter the library. It's a forbidden place that requires someone to supervise even cleaning. Go sit and talk over there? You can't stand here all the time. "

"Ah."

It was obviously her own home, but this girl seemed to be entertaining guests. Fia couldn't help but feel rather delicate, but she still obeyed Shenyue's call and sat down on the edge of the magic testing ground.There are tables and chairs made of heavy wood, the color and style of which match Mitsuki's maiden costume very well. If this is not a magic testing ground, but a shrine with torii gates, Fia will think that she has entered another world.

"Come and taste the special product of the Cold Moon Alliance. Although the taste of this tea is not as sweet as that of Hillivar, the aroma and aftertaste are stronger."

While Fiya was sitting in the chair, Shenyue had enthusiastically brewed tea and brought it to Fia, and just as Shenyue said, the tea she brought smelled even more fragrant, with a honey-like sweetness .

However, considering that she is the owner of this place, Fia couldn't help feeling that this scene was very weird, as if after returning home, she found a stranger staying in her home, and the other party asked her to sit down, making it seem like she was a foreigner By.

With a rather strange expression, Fia gently reminded.

"That... is this your home?"

"This is the home of His Royal Highness Princess Dophelia, don't you know?"

Shenyue opened her approachable sea-blue eyes wide, with a startled expression as if she was looking at something rare.

This guy didn't recognize himself as the eldest princess at all - there are still people in the palace who can't recognize the eldest princess. It seems that the eldest princess still needs to work harder to improve her prestige.

Knowing everything in an instant, Fia couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Ha, well, what are you doing here?"

"I'm trying to restore the dance of the sacred tree. Don't look at me like this, I am the sacred tree priestess who was given the important task of restoring communication with the elf gods—although I am a counterfeit that has not been recognized by outsiders."

"The Dance of the Sacred Tree..."

When in Bourne City, Liti explained the dance of the sacred tree.The Dance of the Sacred Tree is a ritual used by the sacred tree priestess to communicate with the gods.The elves in the past were a country with both a king and a "pope". The "pope" here refers to the witch of the holy tree.

Because the Holy Tree Witch can communicate with the elf god, the words of the Holy Tree Witch are more effective than the king in many cases. However, due to the death of the last generation of the Holy Tree Witch thousands of years ago, the elves can no longer get in touch with the elf god. The Holy Tree Witch Occupation has gradually disappeared from people's vision. Now the country of the elves has become a completely secular country. Although the citizens know the existence of the elves, they are no longer as fanatical as the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis, which relies on the goddess of life.

Due to the disappearance of the sacred tree maiden, the dance of the sacred tree was also lost, and this also meant that her wish to solve the curse of Claire from the elf god was in vain. Ya, after resolving domestic conflicts, look for the next place where God might be found.

If the girl in front of her can recover the dance of the sacred tree, she doesn't have to make another trip.

Fia's eyes lit up.

"Do you know how to restore the dance of the sacred tree?"

"...I only know a little bit." Startled by Fiya's sudden enthusiasm, Shenyue replied troubled, "I was just groping a little bit based on the information left by the predecessors and combined with my own feelings. I did the right thing. If you do this, you can feel the call of the sacred tree, if you do something wrong, the feeling of being connected to something will disappear, plus some troublesome things, the progress of restoring the dance of the sacred tree is very slow.”

"What do you mean by troublesome things?"

Since he can get in touch with the elf god, the elf king should give the green light all the way. Anyway, the kingship is too stable now, and the holy tree is so withered that it will wither at any time. It doesn't need to say much about how to choose.

"I don't know if you noticed just now, but I always keep my eyes closed when I dance. That's because if I open my eyes, it will exhaust the person who accidentally sees me. Kagura is not just a ritual to communicate with the gods , is still a kind of magic, it will consume the witch's magic power and energy, and subtly affect the people around you. I think the reason why the former priestesses can order the people around them may be that the Kagura of the priestesses slowly implanted in the hearts of the people around them 'I'm God' kind of thinking."

"I did see something, Shenyue's eyes just now are completely different from now..."

When I first saw Shenyue's eyes, Shenyue's eyes were full of indifference and death, not like a creature with emotions, but in less than a second, the non-human atmosphere disappeared.

As soon as Fei Ya finished speaking, Shenyue, whose buttocks fell on the seat, jumped up, like a panicked child, she grabbed Fei Ya's arms in a panic, and she was about to check Fei Ya's body.

"You, you saw it?! Didn't you get hurt? You have to wash yourself off quickly, the princess's bathing place...it must be too late, you'd better go to my place—"

"Calm down, I'm not hurt."

Feiya grabbed Shenyue's hand instead, and Shenyue's hand was already on the ribbon around her waist. If she didn't stop her, Shenyue would take off her dress. Shenyue's hands also felt itchy.

Shen Yue looked suspicious.

"Really? If ordinary people saw the Kagura just now, they would have fainted now. Even people with some strength may suffer from hidden diseases that are difficult to detect."

"I'm not an ordinary person."

Even the desperate magic general who is good at spiritual magic can't use spiritual magic to affect himself, let alone Shenyue only has second-level magic power.

In order to make Shenyue calm down, Feiya had to put her hands on Shenyue's shoulders and guide her to sit back to her original position—feeding back the extremely slender touch in her hands, Shenyue may be thinner than she saw, just because the maiden clothes It is wide, so it appears to be about the same size as itself.

However, to Fia's surprise, Shenyue broke away from Fia as if touching a red-hot iron, and stepped back several steps with her shoulders curled up.

"Please, please don't touch me!"

His expression was full of panic, and his voice was a little louder.

baffling.

I am not a man, and the age difference between the two parties is almost the same, and the gesture just now was not very intimate.

Is it because the elves do not resist same-sex marriage, so their behavior offends Shenyue, or is Shenyue suffering from misogyny?

It is indeed very possible, I am too presumptuous.

With an embarrassed expression, Fia scratched her cheek.

"Sorry, I didn't realize you hated women."

"No... I don't hate you, it's just... just because of some things, I'm also doing it for your own good."

The "for your own good" here should be related to Kagura, just like seeing the eyes will change the subconscious mind, touching her should also have bad consequences, Fia thought to herself.

Seemingly feeling that the atmosphere had become subtle, Shenyue slowly walked back to Fiya, like a child who had admitted a mistake, carefully tilted her head to observe Fiya's face.

"That... you're not angry, are you?"

"No."

"Aren't you asking why?"

"Because you just finished dancing Kagura? Speaking of which, your head is covered in sweat and you look tired. Do you want to wipe it off?"

While talking, Fiya handed the handkerchief to Shenyue.As Fiya said, there were beads of sweat all over Shenyue's forehead, and even the blond hair stuck to her forehead due to sweating. When standing close together, Fiya could even feel the heat from Shenyue's body and the The subtle milky fragrance is different from Liti's childlike milky fragrance. The milky fragrance from Shenyue's body makes Fiya feel quite restrained and makes people dream about it. Simply put, it is very mature.

"Thank you."

Shenyue took the handkerchief and wiped her forehead, then sat down, looking embarrassed.

"Actually, it's not because of Kagura that you don't let you touch me. Although I don't know who you are, I think you are a stranger, and you probably haven't recognized my identity. I am actually the No.17 princess of His Majesty the Elven King—" —Of course, I haven’t held a wedding with His Majesty yet, and I’m just a princess in name, but if you want to let outsiders know that other people are too close to me as a fiancée, your position will be very delicate, and they will point fingers at you...you You know, elves are not like other races, even if they are of the same sex, there will be various problems if they are too close."

"Huh?" Fiya almost spit out all the tea she drank, she put the teacup on the table, and asked with a frown, "You are Princess No.17?"

"Yes, because of my strong affinity with the Holy Tree, I was honored to be chosen by His Majesty as Princess No.17. Originally, I was just a commoner, and it was His Majesty who gave me a life without worrying about food and drink..."

"But you look younger than me, not an adult at all!"

Fiya's voice was a little louder. Although she had known for a long time that the Elven King lived a rough life, and also knew from Anastasia that her father had only taken No.17 wives a while ago, she did not expect that No. The 17 wives are still underage, and I can no longer look at the Elf King with the eyes of a normal person. He is old enough to be Shenyue's father.

This is ridiculous.

"Uh... I'm already three hundred years old."

"Three hundred years old?"

Repeating Shenyue's words, Fia looked up and down Shenyue. This body, which may be smaller than her own, does not look like an adult elf, let alone a [-]-year-old elf. Look at Anata who is also an adult. Siya and Renee, that is the figure that an adult elf woman should have.

If you still look like a child for 300 years, it may not be too pitiful.

Because Feiya's expression and tone revealed disbelief, Shenyue couldn't help but feel a little angry. This kind of feeling is easy to understand, just like girls don't like others to comment on her breasts, and men can't accept others saying that their breasts are small. It's about dignity.

Anger was revealed in the deep moon sea sapphire-like clear eyes, she put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and said angrily.

"It's three hundred years old. It's just because I couldn't eat good food when I was young, so I still have the body of a child when I grow up. I'm old enough to be your mother. You should call me mother."

Indeed, I should call you mother.

Fei Ya couldn't help answering the words in her heart. She didn't expect that this girl who was regarded as a friend of her own age a moment ago would actually be her No. 17 mother.

People don't know where to complain.

Unaware of the storm that was blowing up in Fiya's heart, Shenyue was only quite satisfied with the surprised expression of Fiya's mouth wide open, she puffed up her chest slightly and said.

"You haven't introduced who you are. Ordinary people can't go to the palace of the eldest princess... my eldest daughter who has never met before. If you accidentally break into this place, I can pretend that I didn't see it, but you have to Get out of here quickly."

"Well……"

Fiya was at a loss for words for a while, she didn't know how to answer Shenyue, after thinking for a long time, Fiya lowered her head and admitted with great difficulty.

"Actually, I am Dophelia..."

Fiya swears that this is the first time in her history that she has difficulty admitting that she is the eldest princess. As long as she thinks of calling Shenyue "mother" or "mother" next, she feels uncomfortable all over her body and her skin There seemed to be ants crawling on the ground, wishing to roll around on the ground and scurry away.

But Fei Ya is not the only one who is embarrassed. Shenyue's embarrassment is far higher than Fei Ya. After Fei Ya admits that she is the eldest princess, Shen Yue froze in place as if struck by lightning.

It is true that Shenyue is three hundred years old, but she used to live in the deep mountains and forests and rarely interacted with the outside world, so her heart was not as calm as a real three-hundred-year-old woman, nor did she suffer from Qualified aristocratic education.

During these days living in the palace, she had heard of the prestige of the eldest princess, but the prestige of the eldest princess was too strong, she never put herself on an equal footing with the eldest princess, she was always an outsider, so in her In her heart, if the eldest princess with a tall and wise image came back, the entire palace would hold a grand ceremony to celebrate, and she would also be able to learn the news in advance, practicing the majesty that a mother should have, at least not being treated like a child.

Therefore, when she saw Fiya appearing here without saying a word, she arbitrarily regarded Fiya as the daughter of a small noble family who accidentally broke in, and showed her true appearance without any scruples.

I can't go back...

Not to mention that I said something to tell my eldest daughter not to touch me, first of all, the smug attitude of me just now, saying that I am old enough to be her mother, is enough to be ashamed.

It makes people want to find a crack in the ground to get in.
