Manor Lord of the Elf World

Chapter 122 Two Joeys
In Raven City, in a mansion located on the outskirts of town.

The kerosene lamp on the table illuminated the entire living room, and two girls, around seventeen or eighteen years old, stared in disbelief at everything around them.

The people who brought them here said that from now on, this would be their home, and that they should settle down here in peace. They also said that this was Prince Raven's arrangement, and that everyone who came to this territory would be assigned a house of their own.

Not only that, those people also brought them a very lavish dinner.

A basket of soft, sweet white bread, two grilled fish coated with honey and baked to a golden brown, along with some vegetables, fruits, and drinks.

The Joy sisters, who had always been regarded as cursed and unlucky, couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Are there really people in this world who treat them this well?

You should know that even their own father hated them so much that he joined the rest of the village in driving them out of the village...

"Sister, can we really eat this food?"

As the younger sister, Qiao Yichun couldn't help but swallow hard; she hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time.

Qiao Yilin remained silent, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She recalled the words of the knight who had brought them here.

"Don't worry, there are no slaves here anymore!"

"From now on, this house will be your home. His Highness Raven said that everyone will be allocated a house of their own, so please settle down here in peace!"

"No need to thank me, thank His Highness Raven! It was all his arrangement!"

"..."

Qiao Yilin couldn't believe it. Looking at the sumptuous food in front of her, she felt like she was dreaming.

Who exactly is Prince Raven? Why is he so kind to them?
But at this moment, Qiao Yilin was no longer able to think.

Her stomach rumbled, and Qiao Yilin silently thought to herself:

Even if it's a dream, please let my sister and me wake up a little later!

"Xiao Chun, eat slowly."

"Okay, I understand, sister!" Qiao Yichun ate the bread in big bites, savoring the sweet aroma in her mouth, and tears welled up in her eyes.

After finishing their dinner, the two sisters went to bed together to rest, just like on those nights before, they snuggled together and fell asleep in each other's arms.

At this moment, Qiao Yichun lay in bed, curled up in her sister's arms, and couldn't help but ask:
"Sister, are we dreaming?"

She couldn't help but pinch her thigh hard.

"Hey, it hurts!"

She's not dreaming!

Qiao Yilin sighed silently, looking helplessly at her younger sister.

"Sister, why is Prince Raven so kind to us?" Qiao Yichun asked again.

"I don't know." Qiao Yilin shook her head easily, but no matter what happens in the future, she has already made preparations. Life won't be worse than before anyway.

The two sisters were exhausted after their long journey.

They lay on the soft, comfortable bed and quickly drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, early in the morning, the two sisters saw a knight standing at the door.

"His Highness Raven wants to see you!"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately tensed up.

"Sister..." Qiao Yichun took her sister's hand with some concern.

Qiao Yilin didn't say anything. She silently led her younger sister and followed behind the knight. After several twists and turns, they arrived at the building called the City Hall that they had seen yesterday.

Soon, they met Prince Raven in the luxuriously decorated room on the top floor.

When their eyes met, Raven felt a surge of warmth upon seeing the two familiar faces before him.

That's right, this is the Miss Joey he knows!

The Joy sisters couldn't help but secretly observe the distinguished young man before them.

They didn't know why the other party suddenly wanted to see them, and they were all very nervous.

Seeing the reactions of the two Joeys, Raven smiled and said:
"Don't be so nervous. I called you here today just to find out a bit about your situation." Upon hearing this, the two Joeys froze on the spot.

"I heard you come from a small village and were imprisoned for theft in the royal city, is that right?" Raven asked.

"We didn't mean to, my sister and I were just so hungry!" Qiao Yichun said, sounding a little aggrieved. "Besides, we tried to look for work, but everyone was afraid of us and wouldn't come near us..."

"Xiao Chun!" Qiao Yilin stopped her sister. "I'm sorry, Your Highness, you must have seen this. This is a mistake we made ourselves, and I'm willing to accept whatever punishment we are given."

"Why should I punish you?" Raven raised an eyebrow.

Qiao Yilin was slightly taken aback; she didn't quite understand why the prince had summoned them.

Raven said with a smile, "You've already been punished, and the reason I called you here today isn't about that."

“I want to tell you that you are no longer slaves. Whatever happened in the past is in the past. Now that you have come here, you should live well here.”

Upon hearing this, both Joeys were stunned.

After a long pause, Qiao Yilin couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Your Highness afraid of us?"

"Why be afraid?" Raven countered.

Even witches who can use magic have to stay and work for him.

“Because we are cursed…” Joey Lin said, “Everyone who mates with us will have children who look exactly like us.”

Just like they were with their mother.

“Everyone thinks that getting close to us will bring misfortune… that we will be cursed,” Qiao Yichun couldn’t help but say.

"I have a new perspective on this matter," Raven asked with a smile. "Do you know anything about Warcraft?"

Warcraft? The two sisters were taken aback. Of course they knew about it; it was a type of creature that could be found everywhere in the world, and there were more of them than humans.

“Children born from the same species of magical beasts are identical in both appearance and ability,” Raven explained. “Perhaps the phenomena you exhibit are no different from theirs.”

The two sisters had never thought of this angle before.

"So, does that mean my sister and I are actually a magical beast?" Qiao Yichun was even more terrified.

“It’s not just you. I’ve heard that some scholars who study human origins believe that humans in this world are actually a kind of magical beast. Some scholars even believe that humans evolved from magical beasts. Perhaps you have experienced a kind of atavism, which is why this is the case,” Raven said.

Upon hearing this, the two sisters' eyes flickered, filled with disbelief.

"So, does that mean we don't have any curse on us at all?" Qiao Yilin couldn't help but ask.

“Of course.” Raven nodded.

“I understand… Thank you very much, Your Highness!” Qiao Yilin bowed deeply.

At that moment, Raven noticed that her loyalty had risen from 0 to 80, reaching an astonishing level.

"What skills do you have? Farming, logging, blacksmithing, fishing, building houses?" Raven then got down to business: "The city hall will provide you with the food you need for the next period of time, but if you want to live here indefinitely, you still need to have a skill and find a way to earn money on your own."

"No." Upon hearing this, both sisters felt somewhat embarrassed.

They were born in a remote village and then wandered around.

Does stealing...stealing bread count?

Obviously, it doesn't count.

Raven was not surprised by this situation.

He pretended to ponder for a moment, then wrote a letter of introduction and handed it to them, saying:

"In that case, take this letter to a woman named Lila. She will teach you some skills that will allow you to survive."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Qiao Yilin breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out and took the letter, her heart filled with gratitude. Her loyalty level increased by 10 points again.

Raven was very happy as he watched the two turn and leave.

well.

In this way, "Miss Joey" would be in his territory.
