◈ Chapter 326 The Elf Family (2)
‘It’s an elf family.’
Rudger calmly corrected the story Eileen had explained in his head.
In the past, in the kingdom of the elves, there were other great families besides the Leafre family.
I don’t know the family name. Because little was known about it.
It was most likely that all data on the family in the elven kingdom were destroyed after the incident.
‘The family that managed the World Tree had a very enterprising disposition unlike today’s elves.’
They joined hands with a certain kingdom.
The kingdom was a place called the predecessor of the Exilion Empire.
The elves took the sapling of the World Tree and secretly began to grow it in the kingdom’s basement.
I don’t know what I was hoping for, but the attempt itself wasn’t bad.
Because I almost succeeded.
But everything went wrong when the demon Basara intervened.
In the end, he succeeded in sealing Basara in the world tree that was growing underground, but the world tree died because of that.
And Basara’s rampage became a problem.
Those who were hostile to the existence of demons smelled and moved.
Bretus Castle.
They intervened in the affairs of the kingdom and the elves, and since that day the leadership of the kingdom has changed.
However, the change was so secret that even the people at the time did not notice.
‘Their king has changed, but the people don’t know. This is also strange.’
Doesn’t it seem as if a huge unknown force worked on a national level?
Rudger even sorted out the situation.
The family that currently protects the World Tree is said to be the Leafre family.
That said, there was a high possibility that the family that had previously managed the World Tree was expelled for allegedly stealing the saplings of the World Tree from humans.
After the events of that day, it was understandable that the elves had become more conservative and had become confined to the kingdom.
A hundred years ago, there was even a war with humans.
But after that, it was hard for Rudger to know what happened.
‘I need more information about the elves… … .’
I thought about whether to ask Bellaluna separately about that part.
The incident occurred at least 500 years ago, as Bellaluna was not that old.
There was at least one elf that he seemed to know.
Vierano Dentis.
A teacher in charge of animology for the 4th grade students in Seorn.
An elf who looks like a young boy on the outside, but has clearly lived longer than anyone else.
Eileen asked after thinking about whether to listen to the story over a cup of tea later.
“So what are you going to do now?”
This was over, but Rudger gave all his credit to Pasius.
It was because he didn’t want to stand out too much.
“I have to work as a teacher again. Because of this incident, the school schedule was completely messed up. Just getting it right again would take a lot of time.”
“You are a very diligent teacher. But that’s not what I asked.”
“I guess so.”
Rudger stared at Eileen and said.
“The imperial family’s note as promised in advance. I want to go in there now.”
* * *
Ludger walked down the long corridors of the imperial castle, guided by Eileen and Pasius.
The beauty of the interior, each one of which is different from a work of art, was something I had felt before, but I was really impressed.
However, even that extreme beauty was infinitely insufficient to attract Rudgar’s attention now.
The place Rudger was going to go was not a place where many people had seen art.
Vigo of the Exilion Empire with a long history and tradition.
It was a place where all kinds of mysterious artifacts and treasures whose use was unknown were scattered.
“You can be happy.”
It was then that Eileen, who had been leading the way and walking confidently, opened her mouth.
“Remarks is a space that is not easily open even to members of the imperial family. Except for my father, the emperor of the time, it is a place where no one is allowed.”
“For things like that, it seems like the princess is going with her as if it were natural.”
“That’s because I’m the next emperor.”
next emperor.
In other words, Aileen pushed out all other heirs to the throne and proudly wore the victor’s crown.
Rudger remembered the other two.
2nd Prince Ibellon and 3rd Princess Erendir.
Erendirya himself was not interested in power, so even so, the case of the other person was a little different.
‘2nd Prince… … is it.’
2nd Prince Ibellon gives off a calm and weak impression on the outside, but Ludger knows.
That the second prince had something different inside him.
Perhaps the face shown to the public is a mask.
It must have been thoroughly hidden.
‘I don’t know if the first princess knows that.’
Rudger hesitated whether to ask Eileen.
No matter what, the second prince is Eileen’s blood relative.

As an outsider, it was not a very good picture for him to be suspicious of such a second prince.
Besides, Eileen lives on her own taste, but unexpectedly, she has a personality that takes good care of her family.
Just by looking at her attitude toward Erendir, it was the same.
‘Actually, Erendir is about to die because of the first princess’ attitude.’
Should I call it distorted affection or not be honest?
It is safe to say that Eileen’s way of expressing affection towards her family is somehow twisted.
‘From another point of view, it also means that Eileen has her own family love for her siblings.’
To ask Eileen if she knew that her sister, the 2nd Prince, was suspicious.
To be honest, it was a pretty big risk.
“Uh, sister?”
Just then, a startled voice was heard from the front.
When I checked who it was, it was Erendir accompanied by the ladies-in-waiting.
Those jewel-like clear eyes stared at me with disbelief.
“You are my brother. What are you doing here?”
“I, I was on my way back to where the students were staying. First of all, I am a student of Seorn.”
“I came home after a long time, so can’t I rest a little longer? I want to talk more with my father and mother.”
“Even if you don’t, I came to see you two a little while ago.”
“For anything like that, it seems like he wants to go to his friends quickly. You seem to have made a lot of good friends in Seorn.”
“Uh, that… … .”
When the word friend came out, Erendir was visibly taken aback.
Did you make many friends?
Almost a year and a half have passed since I entered Seorn.
Erendir had only one friend.
only one
After going through so many processes, I have only one friend.
If I tell my sister this, she will be ridiculed for the rest of my life.
“Oh, of course! I am making a lot of friends and having a good school life!”
Even as Erendir said that, he looked over Eileen’s shoulder toward Ludger with an intense gaze.
Her eyes were begging for her to keep her mouth shut.
Rudger noticed why she was so desperate.
‘Oops… … .’
It was a pretty pitiful reaction, so Rudger decided to pretend he didn’t know as much as possible.
“Huh. Did you?”
Aileen shook her head and shook her head.
Erendir hurriedly changed the subject, as if the lie would be exposed right now.
“Well, where is your older sister going now? And with Mr. Rudger… … .”
“I promised to reward you in advance in exchange for doing my favor. So now I am on my way to giving the award.”
“But if you go this way, it’s the place where the imperial family’s remarks… … .”
no way?
When Erendir asked with that look on his face, Eileen nodded, saying the answer was correct.
“okay. I intend to give him a gift from the Imperial Remarks.”
“Now, wait! sister! Oh, anyway, that’s… … ! Of course, it is true that Mr. Rudger did a really great job, but should I say that Vigo is on a different level… … .”
“I say I will give it to you, but what does that mean? I also have the right to open Vigo.”
“Still, there are only a handful of cases where Vigo has been opened for outsiders. Vigo was opened only once in the past 100 years, at the inauguration ceremony of Director Lutus… … .”
“Then this will be the second time.”
“It’s not that easy to say.”
Erendir couldn’t bear to argue with her sister, and only stomped her feet.
From that attitude, Rudger realized once again how great it was to open Vigo.
At that time, Erendir and Eileen looked at Ludger alternately.
“It was an unwritten rule not to open remarks unless they were members of the imperial family. However, it doesn’t seem like Mr. Ludgar will turn to the imperial family. Sister, please… … .”
Erendir was speechless at the uneasy imagination that suddenly flashed through his mind.
Eileen and Rudger were a pair that looked good together.
Needless to say, Eileen, the first princess.
Innate leadership and charisma, political ability, an eye for people, outstanding beauty, and even a brilliant brain.
Although she was her own sister, she was so perfect that it was hard to dare to look at her.
So, sometimes I had that thought.
My sister wonders who she will marry later.
The person who becomes that husband should at least not fall short of Eileen.
Eileen herself didn’t seem like she would accept an insignificant man as her companion.
‘But if it’s Mr. Rudgar.’
Erendir naturally compared Rudger and Eileen.
Erendirya didn’t take Ludger very well.
Because every time I see him, I think of my older sister.
A person who looks fine and calm on the outside, but has something different inside.
But with such Ludger standing with Eileen, it couldn’t be more suitable.
appearance?
My mouth hurts when I say two words. No matter where you look on the continent, it is hard to find a cool-headed, noble, sculptural handsome man like Ludger.
ability?
It was not enough to be a teacher of Seorn, so he created a new theory and rose to the position of Director of Planning in the shortest period of time.
There was no one to disagree with.
personality?
To be honest, I can’t say it’s good, but compared to Eileen, it was rather better.
No, on the contrary, it suits them.
“… … sister. Isn’t it?”
Erendir denied the reality and asked.
Eileen realized at once what kind of strange imagination Erendir was having and put on a mischievous smile.
“Huh. That’s great. I can’t believe that the little brother who was lacking could have increased his awareness this much. Is this all thanks to living in Seorn?”
“… … !”
The moment Erendir heard that, he felt dizzy without realizing it.
As she staggered to the side and was about to fall, the attendants hurriedly supported her.
“Princess!”
“Are you all right?!”
The ladies-in-waiting made a fuss and took Erendir far away in an instant.
Rudger asked Eileen as he watched the series of skits.
“Aren’t you playing too much with your brother?”
“I can’t stop teasing you after showing such a violent reaction.”
“Well, that is true.”
“Look. Seeing that you also agree, I can’t say that I have a good personality. like me.”
As Eileen smiled happily, Pasius added a comment.
“I wonder if I’m better than the princess. The princess knows, so it’s even worse.”
As Eileen glared at her, Pasius fell silent.
“Anyway, let’s move again.”
“After hearing the story a while ago, it seems that Vigo should not be opened carelessly. Are you okay?”
“What are you asking about now? I knew everything and made the offer. If it’s your skill, it’s rather cheap to open Vigo.”
As Eileen started walking again, Pasius and Ludger followed suit.
“Of course, I’ve thought about reducing the number of items I’ll take from Vigo if the results aren’t up to my expectations.”
“… … Well, it seemed so.”
“But you did more than expected. They saved people, stopped terrorists, and exorcised demons. I don’t even think about taking the ball down with negotiations like this.”
“Is that so.”
“This is the right thing to do. Because the rewards and punishments have to be certain.”
Eileen was firm in this area.
For those with abilities, he treats them appropriately, to the point where they feel obsessive-compulsive.
It wasn’t for nothing that the people under Eileen were so loyal to her.
In no time at all, the three arrived in a dark and deep place where even the servants of the imperial family could not be seen.
Eileen, who was guiding them, stopped in front of a huge stone gate.
I raised my head and looked up at the stone gate.
The door engraved with all kinds of colorful patterns had a huge sense of coercion by itself.
It was majestic similar to the door seen in the surface world of Dream Land during the Order Synod.
No, it was much greater than that.
Because it was a dream, and this was a real door.
“Stop. If you approach any further than this, the sword will fall immediately.”
As Eileen warned, there were guardians in colorful armor on both sides of the entrance.
“Are you a Guardian? It’s a pretty bloody place.”
“Because that’s where it has to be.”
As Eileen stepped forward, the inside of the Guardians’ pitch-black helmets showed eye-glow.
At that time, Eileen took out the key she had prepared and showed it.
When I showed the golden key that was hanging around my neck, the guardians’ eyes went out again.
It seemed like a simple action, but Ludger saw that the guardians instantly recognized the unique magic wave embedded in that key.
“You may go in now. As I said, there are only three things you can take out.”
“Are you not going with me?”
“Only one person is allowed to enter Vigo. If you go in more than that, the door to Vigo will not open.”
“You are thorough.”
“Because that’s where it should be.”
The underground vault of the Kunst Auction House wasn’t quite like this, but it’s also the imperial palace.
On the contrary, since this was enough, I thought that I would not become someone’s name as Vigo of the imperial family.
“Stand in front.”
As I stood in front of Eileen, the huge stone gate slowly opened.
There was no noise at all as the huge door moved.
It feels like a giant moving, but the son-in-law is still.
The inside of the open door was completely black.
Rudger noticed that it was some kind of magical action.
‘It’s not allowed to peek inside through an open door.’
Wasn’t it rather expected?
Rudger smiled and took a step.
“Don’t get lost.”
Hearing Eileen’s voice coming from behind, Rudger waved his hand appropriately.
As Rudgar disappeared into the darkness, the stone gate closed again quietly.
cooong.
The door closed and the son-in-law was covered in pitch-black darkness.
There is no distinction between up and down, up and down, left and right, so it feels like floating in the air.
Even in such a situation, Rudger stood proudly.
He had gone through too many things to be surprised at this situation.
Vigo must have sensed the visitor’s presence, and after a while the darkness was pushed back like an ebb tide.
Soon, the splendid scenery inside came into view at a glance.
“Hoo.”
