As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

How could he not want the people of Dawn Kingdom to live well?

In other words, in war... there is no right or wrong.

The Dawn Kingdom’s troops actually did nothing wrong, they just encountered... the Grullite Kingdom where Morning Star was located.

But this does not mean that Morning Star will be merciful and let go of everyone in the Dawn Kingdom.

There is indeed no right or wrong in war, but there is a distinction between friends and enemies.

Morningstar has always held on to a concept......

Being kind to your enemy is being cruel to yourself.

The warriors of the Dawn Kingdom shouldn't die, but do the soldiers of the Grullite Kingdom deserve to die?

"Don't be so reserved. I'm not as cold and heartless as you think..."

Morning Star did not give a direct answer, but instead asked Presil to stand up first.

But this answer also made Precier's expression dim.

Getting her up naturally also means...

But there was nothing Precier could do but slowly stand up, biting her lip, her eyes filled with guilt.

Even though I knew that choosing to stand on Morning Star's side was definitely the right decision.

But it also represents...

"Your Highness, they are also innocent. In the final analysis, it is because of the current Saint Lady... because of the current Saint Lady and the Dawn Nation..."

"I understand your thoughts. Those soldiers also have families and friends. They are just protecting their country, but..."

Morningstar shook his head.

I understand, but some requests...really can't be granted.

Especially since he is the king of the Kingdom of Grullit.

"Have you ever thought about... those soldiers of the Grulit Kingdom? And those who died on the battlefield because of the war with the Dawn Kingdom... If I let the Dawn Kingdom troops go, how can I explain to them?"

Morning Star's question also made Precier lower her head.

It was indeed she who...didn't take that into account.

But Chenxing didn't blame her.

After all, Presil had just joined, and even though her loyalty was unquestionable, her sense of belonging to this country...naturally wasn't that strong yet.

However, this situation did serve as a reminder to Morning Star.

Since two countries are at war, prisoners of war are bound to occur.

Of course, Morning Star would never do such a stupid thing as killing them all.

After all, what he wanted to do was to conquer a kingdom, not simply destroy it.

In this case......

"I can reluctantly promise you that I will spare as many Dawnbreakers who surrender or are captured as possible, but... the person who decides their life or death is not me... but you!!"

When Morning Star said this, Precier understood it instantly.

What the other party meant was...

He wanted to persuade the people of Dawn Kingdom to understand and submit voluntarily.

This is actually very difficult, especially for a situation like the Dawn Kingdom.

but.......

Precier's eyes suddenly became clear.

Because she understood that this was the only chance.

Even with a new monarch and a new name, the Dawn Kingdom is still the only chance for it to exist.

It is even possible that...

Morning Star showed her tolerance for the last time.

"Thank you, Your Highness Morning Star!! Your kindness...Preciel will never forget it. I will do my best to complete your order!!"

Chapter 88 The Future of the Elves

"My little princess, has someone upset you again?"

In the tree house in the Elf Forest, Xibel was sitting in front of the window with a sad face.

Even though many days have passed, everything that happened in the Kingdom of Gruulite that day is still vivid in my mind.

Especially the threat from Grullit Morningstar...

Sibel was hesitant.

She didn't know what to do.

But if I tell my mother about these things...

Xibel didn't dare, and couldn't say it.

She understood the current situation that the Elf Forest was facing.

Even if there are research records of the abyss power "given" by the Morning Star.

But if you want to truly heal the ancient elf tree...

It wasn't until the door was slowly pushed open and a familiar voice sounded behind him that Xibel came back to his senses.

Subconsciously turning his head, he noticed the most familiar figure, and a hint of nervousness flashed in Xibel's eyes.

"Mother...Mother, why didn't you knock on the door?!"

At the door of the room, an elf woman in an emerald green dress was smiling.

There seems to be no trace of time left on either the skin or the face.

Even the long skirt that had already dragged on the ground could not hide her figure that could be called a perfect creation of God.

Even standing her next to Sibel, it is hard to imagine that the other person is Sibel's mother.

"I've knocked three or four times but you didn't open the door. How come... little Sibel has forgotten her mother because of her fiancé's care? It's really sad."

Sahira laughed and teased.

Both his tone and his eyes were full of tenderness.

"What...what fiancé? Mother, please stop teasing me. I just...just..."

Sibel lowered his head, finding it difficult to speak out what had happened to the Kingdom of Grulith.

I can't let my mother be distracted by me.

Now, for the sake of the Forest of Elves, Mother has already...

Even the other person's delicate face was filled with fatigue, which could not be hidden even if he tried hard to do so.

"It's nothing, mother. I was just thinking...whether there is any other way to save the ancient elf tree in our Elf Forest..."

When mentioning the ancient elf tree, a trace of confusion flashed in Xibel's eyes.

Now that the power of the ancient elven tree is almost exhausted, is there really any way to revive it?

If the Elf Forest really loses the protection of the ancient elven trees, where should everyone go?

Without the natural barrier created by the power of the ancient elven tree, the Elf Forest would undoubtedly be completely open to the outside world.

In a sense, this may be a good thing. After all, it also means that the elves do not have to rely solely on their own resources and strength to maintain the status quo.

But the same...

Every elf is well aware of the greed of humans and other races.

Thousands of years ago, when the first Elf Queen had not yet obtained the power of the ancient Elf Tree, the elves as a race had even become slaves and playthings in the hands of various races.

Because of the elves' excellent looks and bodies, as well as their almost eternal appearance that never ages, they are undoubtedly the best choice for slaves.

Not to mention the rich and endless resource reserves of the Elf Forest...

I guess every country wants a piece of the pie?

Once the ancient elf tree dies completely, the barrier that has kept the elf forest as a paradise will completely disappear...

This may also be a disaster...for the elves.

This is why the Elf Forest must save the decaying ancient elven trees even at the cost of everything.

For thousands of years, this has become a deep-rooted belief and concept among the elves.

The ancient elf tree...is everything in the Elf Forest!

"Little Sibel has grown up and knows how to help mom solve problems, but... "

Sahira sat down next to Sibel and gently combed Sibel's long hair.

"Little Sibel forgot one thing, which is something your mother has been reminding you of. Do you remember?"

"Of course, Xibel remembers what my mother said. You said that the reason why elves are elves is not because of the existence of the ancient elf tree..."

"That's right. After all, the ancient elf tree is a different kind of existence from the elves. The ancient elf tree gives protection to the elves because of the contract that has been maintained for thousands of years."

"But...but if the ancient elf tree is really gone..."

Xibel still felt inexplicably nervous.

Once the ancient elven tree is gone, everything will change.

No one knew what would happen, not even her, and even her mother, the Queen of Elf, had no way of predicting the future.

This also made Xibel confused.

The elves who have lost the ancient elven tree and the elven forest, are they really still... elves?

Where will the elves go in the future?

"Everything must follow the rules of birth, aging, sickness and death, the cycle of life and death. The legendary dragons are like this, as are the demons and angels. We elves are even more like this, not to mention the ancient elf trees. Some things... will be lost sooner or later. What's important is what we still have, just like little Xibel and your mother, and your mother also has little Xibel, right?"

Sahira explained gently.

Just mentioning loss...there was an obvious flash of sadness and guilt in his eyes, even...reluctance.

Maybe deep down in Sahira's heart, she doesn't want the Elf Forest to face such a situation?

But what’s the point even if you don’t want it?

What is going to happen...is going to happen sooner or later.

Sooner or later, the Forest of Elves will have to face such a day.

Although Xibel still couldn't understand what her mother said, she nodded ignorantly.

At least.......

Having mother around always makes me feel...reassured.

It’s a pity that such harmonious times are always short.

A burst of hurried footsteps soon broke the silence in the room.

Following a knock on the door, the door was pushed open again.

"Your Majesty! The time for this meeting has come. The others are waiting for you to arrive. Elder Caroline..."

An elf guard reported respectfully.

Just looking at the expression of this elf guard...it seems that something very discordant happened at the meeting.

Especially when she heard the name Caroline, Sahira's eyes turned obviously cold.

"We'll talk about the details on the way. Little Sibel, mommy has to go do some work first. Remember to take care of yourself. Missing you for too long will make you sick!"

“Mother!!”

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore, let's go..."
