Huh? Are they all real?...

They released their hands from their mouths and shouted to the new generation of elves in front of and behind them:

"He's back in court! His Majesty the Eternal King has returned!"

Throughout many eras and countless recall ceremonies, this was the sentence they most wanted to say but never managed to utter.

To welcome the return of the king.

The sacred tree also emitted an almost dazzling light.

In the past, the light of the sacred tree was always bright but gentle.

Today is a very rare exception.

Because His King has returned.

It wasn't the kind of return one would make in the Meereen sewers, but a true return to one's own side.

Although that is also a branch of its own, the main body of the sacred tree will only be here.

Because this is the anchor of the great origin.

Among the many original sacred objects, the sacred tree is the most unique.

She not only possessed her own will from the very beginning, but she was also the only one who could not move.

Symbols like the Holy Grail, the Holy Sword, and the Holy Lance not only lack their own will, but are also used by others as weapons and carried around the world.

If there are any exceptions, then the Holy Lance, which was given potential by a certain eldest son, is the closest exception to her.

When the Holy Lance was given the name Rungomminiad by the Nameless Firstborn, she gained a possibility that should never have existed.

Then, in the Age of Gods, they were left far behind by the wheels of history, and after many of their eldest sons had entered the Valley of the Monuments to sleep forever.

The Lionheart taught weapons what love is.

But this love was fleeting.

It is said that even the sacred tree that witnessed creation found this almost cruelly terrifying.

This is not a rumor; many elves from the Valley have confirmed it.

They said that the great sacred tree had whispered to the world more than once in the wind:

'My fellow sister, a descendant of the Father, pray! Pray to our Father that He may restore His mercy and compassion and deliver you from this terrible cruelty.'

Only the Eternal King can understand the voice of the Sacred Tree. They will know this because it is the Shadow's interpretation based on the King's teachings.

The king can directly understand the voice of the sacred tree.

Lord Shadow was the only one who could attempt to decipher it.

Lord Shadow also tried to teach other elves, but unfortunately, even so, only Shadow, who could best understand the king, succeeded.

Gazing at the radiant glow of the sacred tree.

The shadowy figure that had been standing behind Moen withdrew its gaze from the canopy of the sacred tree.

The Eternal King is the King of the Sacred Tree.

This is something everyone knows.

But that's not what she wanted.

Many people also know that the Eternal King is also the King of the Shadow Sun.

However, they also knew that this was not acknowledged by the king himself.

This is also something she doesn't want.

So what should we do?

This was actually clear from the very beginning.

Amidst the cheers and worship of all the spirits.

The fleet, which was slowly sailing towards the old capital, gradually came to a stop.

This unexpected turn of events led the captains to begin their own experiments, which seemed rather strange.

Because this is not their instruction or operation.

Soon, they learned that the other ships were in the same situation.

"What happened?!"

"I don't know, Captain."

The sailors, too, could not understand the captain's question.

However, they soon found out the answer.

It wasn't an attack, nor a malfunction, but simply an unexpected surprise.

At the bow of the flagship.

All the elves' eyes were fixed on the king.

Roselorian Shadow, the Shadow Sun who had always stood behind the King, extended an invitation to the King before her.

The goddess's melodious voice echoed throughout the valley and then spread across the forest.

"Please become my king!"

This was an extremely unexpected thing.

Almost no one would have imagined that on such a momentous day, the Shadow Sun would invite the returning king to become its ruler.

Even if everyone knows this established fact.

The Eternal King is also the chosen king of the Shadow Sun, a fact known to every elf and indeed to everyone who knows about the Shadow Sun.

However, everyone subconsciously overlooked one point—the Shadow Sun simply chose the Eternal King as its king.

However, the Eternal King himself did not acknowledge this.

Because the king is gone.

The valley spirits fell silent at the goddess's sudden voice.

Even the radiance of the sacred tree has been restored to its original state.

This sudden surprise even left Moen himself at a loss.

Moen already knew that he was the king chosen by Rose Lorian.

But why now?!

And the sacred tree is right behind us!

However, it seems that now is indeed the most opportune time?

Moen, turning around instinctively, was momentarily stunned to see the goddess kneeling on one knee and reaching out her hand to him.

The same applies to the Golden Flower Lords.

This choice was completely unexpected.

The goddess remained kneeling on one knee, quietly awaiting the king's reply.

Looking at the hand that I had held more than once.

The returning king was unsure whether he should grasp the hand for the first time.

The king subconsciously turned around and glanced at the sacred tree that had calmed down.

Then the king heard the sacred tree's reply:

Say yes to her, she's been waiting for you for a very, very long time!

Chapter 187 The Blessing and Acknowledgment of the Sacred Tree

The sacred tree led its king to accept another goddess.

Moen knew that the Sacred Tree was the most tolerant of him, but he really didn't expect the Sacred Tree's tolerance to be to this extent.

This even extended to the point where Moen doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears.

Because the choice of the sacred tree can be said to have completely violated the ironclad law of the God-King.

Is it because He is one of the primordial sacred objects, the sacred tree, or because of my accidental existence?!

Or perhaps the ironclad rules aren't as inviolable as we and the world imagine?

Moen was briefly confused by the sacred tree's answer.

But the sacred tree seemed to know what he was thinking, and spoke to Moen again:

"You heard me right, say yes to her, she has been waiting for you for far too long."

You really heard me right!

Moen was stunned once again.

"Hurry up, don't keep her waiting, everyone is waiting for your answer!"

As the sacred tree serves as a reminder once again.

Moen's gaze finally returned to reality from his thoughts.

Before him stood Rose-Lorian, the goddess, still kneeling on one knee and extending her hand toward him.

Behind the goddess were the Golden Flower Lord and the High Elves who had been watching him.

And then there are the spirits of the entire valley below.

Apart from the various outposts and strongholds stationed throughout the Sacred Tree Forest, this place is practically home to all the elves.

The elf population is not large, although it is not as extreme as that of dragons.

Even so, the number of elves in the entire valley should have reached tens of millions.

They were all eagerly anticipating this moment.

They were all hoping that the king would agree to the goddess's request.

Elves are immortal beings, so what the sacred tree knows, they also know.

Lord Shadow has truly waited for the departing king for far too long.

At the same time, almost no one felt anything was wrong about this.

The Shadow Sun and the Sacred Tree have lived peacefully together for many years.

So everyone subconsciously felt that even if the king returned, it would still be the same.

Only a very small number of people are concerned about this.

For example, Moen, and the Golden Flower Lords behind Moen.

Trapolis Twilight's answer to Moen in Baratheon was that the king was no longer there.

But now, he finally had the same thought as Moen back then—but now the King is back!

Can things really stay the same as before?

He didn't know the answer, and neither did Moen.

Or perhaps they all knew the answer, but were simply hoping for a miracle.

Rose Lorian, one of the parties involved, remained calm and waited for Moen.

Moen is the king she has chosen.

He was the only person she truly loved, besides Moen.

She had no other thoughts.

If Rose Lorian were to choose when to appoint the king...

Now is the best time.

At this moment when the king finally returned to his hometown.

It's obvious there's no other choice, isn't it?

Moreover, a faint glimmer of the sacred tree's radiance was reflected in Rose Lorian's serene eyes.
