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

After all, right now more of the elves' manpower and resources have been diverted to the arrangements for the coming-of-age ceremony.

Compared to the current situation, whether the coming-of-age ceremony can proceed smoothly is a more important matter!

For the Elf Forest today, the restoration of the coming-of-age ceremony undoubtedly also represents that the elves have successfully walked out of the haze brought about by the decline of the ancient elven tree.

Of course, the prerequisite is that this coming-of-age ceremony can really proceed smoothly and be successfully completed without any errors!

Led by the servants in the palace, Agnes and her companions soon arrived at the door of a separate room on the top floor.

As the door slowly opened, the Elf Queen who had been waiting for this moment finally appeared before the two of them.

And there was Melody who had arranged everything.

Maybe Melody really felt bad.

This act of betrayal, pushing her former friend, the person she promised to protect, into the abyss with her own hands, was something that even Melodie herself would never be able to forgive herself for.

But she had no choice but to obey.

Even this guilt and pain can only be hidden in my heart, unable to be revealed or confided.

They could hear with their own ears the "bell" that represented the "destruction" of the Elf Forest, which continued to come along with the footsteps of the two people.

"Thank you for not doing anything to Beatrice, General Agnes, no, maybe I should call you... Queen Agnes!"

Selphine took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

Both his tone and eyes became noticeably more serious.

If Melody hadn't informed me of this disguise, it might have been difficult for me to recognize it.

The Red-haired Demon God came in person to visit. Even though Beatrice's condition didn't seem serious, Selphine still didn't dare to let her guard down.

After all, the strength of this red-haired demon god is obvious to all!

Especially for the Elf Forest today, once the other party chooses to tear its face off and attack, even if the Elf Forest still has the ability to resist, it will also be able to force the other party back.

But what's the price?

With Agnes's power at this level, what kind of sacrifice will the Elf Forest have to make in order to force her to retreat?

Selphini knew very well that the elves today could no longer withstand such losses.

Otherwise, why would she have chosen to take the initiative to find Chenxing to "negotiate peace"!

But no matter what, Beatrice...must be rescued!

At least the other party chose to bring Beatrice here, which means there is still room for negotiation and discussion on this matter.

Even Selphone felt somewhat relieved that Gruulite Morningstar was not really the completely unreasonable tyrant as described in the rumors.

"I am only following His Highness' orders. If His Highness doesn't want to do anything to Beatrice, then I certainly won't do anything either!"

Feeling the magic power of the Elf Queen enveloping the entire room, Agnes and Beatrice finally dropped their disguises.

That revealed appearance, even just a glance, made Selphini, who was also a woman, feel dazed for a moment.

Agnes's face and temperament were so beautiful that even Selphini felt inferior to her.

Coupled with that cold expression and unexpectedly "mature" temperament, she already has the demeanor of a "queen".

Selphone didn't expect that this red-haired demon was a little different from what she had imagined.

If it weren't for the tremendous magic power in his body, no one would have imagined that the red-haired demon who frightened his enemies and made them flee in disarray on the battlefield would be in such an image.

But what Selphini didn't expect was Beatrice standing beside her.

This is also the most important reason that caused her trance.

It's not just that simple.

Whether it is the sunny and cheerful color in the eyes or the slightly upturned arc of the mouth when smiling.

Even every move, even looking around...

She looks just like her sister, cut from the same mold.

It was also the first time that Selphini experienced such a strong feeling of blood connection.

No wonder Melody-senpai said Beatrice is very similar to her sister.

When I looked over for the first time, I almost thought it was my sister who appeared in front of me again.

But it was precisely because of this that Selphini became more determined in her belief.

Beatrice must be "brought back".

This is almost the only "proof" that my sister has come to this world and wants to protect this world.

This is also one of the few beautiful "things" left by my sister, both for herself and for the other party.

"Since Queen Agnes is here in person, she must be planning to discuss Beatrice's matter with us, right? Instead of beating around the bush, why not be straightforward? Your Highness Morningstar, what do you want from me this time?"

Chapter 106: Choice

That's right, Selphini was prepared to bleed heavily, or even sacrifice everything she had.

But not including...the future of the Elf Forest.

Both the Elf Forest and Beatrice are the most important things to my sister.

Naturally, Selphini couldn't put the two together to weigh the benefits.

Because no matter which one she chooses, it will definitely be the wrong choice.

If my sister were still alive, she would never allow such a thing to happen.

This is why Selphini always wants to sacrifice herself and does not want to involve the entire Elf Forest.

Just like my sister made that choice...

Selphini had no regrets, and she had already made this preparation when she took over the position of Elf Queen.

but......

It can’t be now, immediately, or right away!

Before sacrificing oneself, one must first ensure the safety of the Elf Forest.

Selphini also knew that this was actually the focus of this "negotiation"!

The key lies in whether you can come up with real benefits that can impress the other party.

The benefits are more "coveted" by the other party than the entire Elf Forest!

Therefore, it is necessary for Selphini to first determine the other party's "pursuit" and "bottom line".

If both sides really can't make any concessions, maybe they can only...

Selphini clenched her fists subconsciously.

It really is... hopelessly powerless.

My sister faced the same situation at the time.

Selphini thought that facing the Elf Forest today was already a difficult decision that her sister once faced.

But it turns out that there will always be more desperate situations.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that I still have Senior Melodi on my side.

This would also allow her, or Beatrice and the Elf Forest, to have a last resort when things really got desperate.

Although Selphini did not want to rely on others everywhere, especially Senior Melodi who had helped her sister a lot, and the one in the ancient elf tree who had a great relationship with Senior Melodi!

But right now, there is no choice.

"What Your Highness wants is very simple. Simply put, it's just a name."

"name?"

Hearing what Agnes said, Selphine was also slightly stunned.

Is he looking for someone? But with the current strength of Morning Star and Grullite Kingdom, do they still need the help of the Elf Forest that has been isolated from the world for thousands of years?

"Her Majesty the Elf Queen should be very familiar with this name, Sahira!"

Agnes said this, and these simple words also made Selphine's expression change obviously.

"I'm sorry Queen Agnes, I may not understand what you said..."

Selphini tried her best to calm herself down, but her heart was filled with astonishment and shock which was completely different from her expression.

How is it possible? The other party knew about his sister?

No! Apart from myself and Senior Melody, only the one in the ancient elf tree, who also helped my sister, knew about this matter.

Senior Melody would never go back on his promise, as for the one in the ancient elf tree.

If you want to see that person, you must enter the ancient elf tree.

Even she needed the permission of all the elven elders to enter the ancient elven tree.

How could Chenxing, an "outsider" who had never been to the Elf Forest, enter quietly?

Even with Morning Star's current strength, he may have already surpassed Agnes in front of him.

But the situation at the ancient elf tree cannot be solved by strength alone!

It can be said that even the Holy Trial of the Holy Empire, or even the church's so-called genius that only appears once in a thousand years, the current high priest Alexander, would never be able to break in head-on!

But now, Agnes actually said such a sentence.

"Can I understand your words as that you and the Elf Forest you are in do not have the sincerity to have 'friendly discussions'?"

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire room became noticeably solemn.

Even Melody, who had been standing by and didn't know what to say, became unusually nervous.

She chose this path so that everything could be resolved peacefully and the whole thing could have a perfect ending. It can be said that this is the only way.

If in the end, the result is no different from if Chen Xing took action himself, then wouldn't it be...

Or is this just another prank on myself?

Did Morning Star never intend to negotiate peace with the Forest of Elves from the beginning?

Not only Melody, but Selphini also clearly felt a lot of pressure.

The pressure from Agnes, even if it is just a show of strength, cannot be underestimated.

And Agnes herself did complete a certain degree of transformation.

If it were the former Agnes, she would not have much interest in the so-called negotiation or communication.

At least compared to verbal "threats", she is better at using "fists".

But this time, Agnes knew that as the person His Highness trusted the most and also as the queen of the Kingdom of Grullit, she had to do what a queen should do.

I can't let others think that I only sat on the position of queen because of His Highness's "favor".

We must not bring any trouble to His Highness.

As for how to do it...

There is a saying that goes, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, have you seen a pig run?"

If someone who has a lot of contact with Morning Star heard the tone of Agnes just now, they would be able to feel it very clearly.

Agnes was just imitating Morning Star's tone and expression.

In Agnes's opinion, only Morning Star is worthy and worthy of her imitation and making changes to a certain extent.

And such a sentence is undoubtedly the general!

Be it Beatrice, or the Forest of Elves, or even the secret that has just been revealed, about Sister Selphini and the past of the Forest of Elves, none of them can be "put on the shelf".

But unfortunately, the other party only gave her these three choices.

No matter which one it is, one is destined to become the "victim".

No matter which one she chooses, no matter what the outcome is, Selphini will regret her choice now.

"Can you... promise on behalf of His Highness Morning Star that after I hand over what you want, I will ensure the safety of the rest?"
