Chapter 425 Backer
Because of the Elven King's negative attitude on the marriage between the elves and the Holy See of Light, everyone, including the elves, thought that he was unwilling to let Princess Alice be wronged and marry a descendant of a red-clothed archbishop of the Holy See of Light.

After all, everyone knows that this is a political marriage.As the weaker Princess Alice, she is doomed to be unhappy for the rest of her life.

As the father, the Elven King disagreed with this marriage, which was completely understandable.

It is also not surprising that the Elf King has adopted an attitude of delaying and evading the pressure of the Holy See of Light.

Princess Alice has not been seen in public recently.So the rumors came from nowhere, saying that the elf princess quietly escaped from the elf court and ran away from home in order to avoid a political marriage.

But what the third elder didn't expect was that the gossip that was quietly circulating in the elf king's court was actually true.

The second elder nodded to him, officially confirming the matter.

The three elders are also one of the top decision makers of the elves, so they are qualified to know this situation.

"Third Elder, it's good for you to know it yourself. You must not spread this matter to the outside world. The current situation is delicate and sensitive. If people in the Holy See of Light know about it, the consequences will be disastrous."

Facing the second elder's instruction, the third elder nodded with a straight face.

"Second elder, don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter, and I will never talk nonsense. Well, it's fine, I always feel aggrieved and uncomfortable when I want to marry Princess Alice. As her father, the Elf King I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to accept. With such an arrangement, I understand very well."

The Elf King next to him was not at all relieved to be understood, and the expression on his face was more depressed.

"I didn't arrange it!"

The third elder looked at him and asked in surprise: "Is this Princess Alice's own idea? Did she sneak out by herself?"

The Elf King felt even more depressed, but still nodded helplessly.

"This……"

The third elder was speechless.

The great elder snorted again.Whatever happened to him today, nothing went well anyway.

"This little girl doesn't have the slightest sense of the overall situation. She's happy to just run out like this. It's not us who left the mess for her. When we find her back, we must punish her severely. You This father, who has not taught well, supervised laxly, is also responsible.”

The Elf King's face was not good.He opened his mouth, wanting to distinguish, but didn't know where to start.

The second elder quickly smoothed things over.

"Grand Elder, don't blame the Elf King. In fact, haven't you also strongly opposed marriage with the Holy See of Light?"

The Great Elder glared at him and stood up.

Although the Second Elder is also very old, in the eyes of the First Elder, he is also just a junior. If you want to stare at him, you can stare at him, and blow your beard if you blow your beard.

Who told him to have the highest seniority.

"What do you know! The Holy See of Light can propose a marriage to connect the two juniors. But we elves can also choose to refuse. No one says what to do. No matter where we talk about this matter, we can be confident. But He took the initiative to come to talk to you, but you sent your daughter far away first. This is not a matter of agreeing or not, it is a slap in the face. The elves are naturally proud and are not afraid of the power of the Holy See Powerful. But it is definitely a wrong approach for the current elves to irritate others needlessly, attract hatred and even retaliate."

The Elf King argued in a low voice: "I didn't send it away, but she ran away secretly."

"it's the same!"

As soon as the Elf King spoke, the Great Elder became angry again.

"As long as that girl leaves the Elven King's Court at this time, no matter what, she will think that it was our deliberate arrangement anyway."

Having said that, the Great Elder sighed.

"That little girl Alice really disappointed me. No matter how powerful the Holy See is, we elves must bow down to him? If the little girl is not happy, I will stop him when the king of heaven comes! To have so little confidence in my old man, to run away without even saying hello, it really hurts her for nothing!"

Although he kept scolding Alice, the protection in his words was obvious.

The eyes of the Elf King, who has been scolded all the time today, are full of gratitude.

The elf king and his daughter have the same attitude towards the marriage sent by this door, and they are both extremely disgusted.If he wasn't the king of the elves, he would have kicked out the members of the Holy See with fierce words.

However, sitting in his position, he was not just Alice's father.In addition to protecting his daughter, he also needs to be responsible for the entire elves.

Because personal feelings affect one's own judgment, it is not something a qualified king should do.

Fortunately, there are also a group of elders in the clan, such as the Great Elder, who have shielded a lot of pressure from the father and daughter of the Elf King.

The First Elder got up and walked out, without looking back, he said, "Hurry up and send someone to bring back that little girl, Alice. Let alone other things, with her little strength, she has problems protecting herself in human society. "

The Elf King stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, I have arranged for someone to do it."

The Great Elder waved his hand back, indicating that he heard it, and then left.

The remaining Second Elder, Third Elder and Elf King looked at each other and smiled wryly.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the door, as if the elder who had just left was yelling at someone.

The chaos lasted only for a short time, and after a while, the noise stopped, and the Great Elder probably walked away.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps approaching from a distance.

"Eight elders!"

The third elder called out, with a strange tone in his tone.

When the second elder and the elf king saw the person coming, their faces immediately sank.

"What are you doing here?"

The second elder asked in a low voice, with disgust and anger in his tone, and he didn't give the elf, who was also an elder, any face at all.

Facing the questioning, the Eighth Elder was not angry, Shi Shiran said: "Isn't there a high-level meeting here? You are the elder of the clan, and I am also the elder of the clan. Since you can come here, why can't I come?"

"You..." The second elder was furious, but he couldn't refute.

There are nine elders in the Elven Royal Court, and there is no distinction between big and small in terms of regulations.But in fact, the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder are the most powerful, and their power and voice in the clan are far beyond what the other six elders can match.The major decisions in the general clan are all discussed and decided by the three elders and the Elf King.

This is what is usually called a high-level meeting among the elves.

However, this mechanism and situation are not clearly stipulated, but have been established for a long time.The other elders are self-aware, and they won't come along to make fun of themselves.

But today the Eighth Elder just did that.

Because he found another backer, a powerful backer who was enough to allow him to run rampant and unimpeded in the elves.
