How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

As for Dean Roy, Serafiti's conditions seemed really "tempting" to her. She wanted to kill him the previous second, but now she had narrowed her eyes and started to consider it carefully!

Is it really so tempting to deal with the elders?

Or was it that the elder that Seraphi mentioned was here to "cause trouble"?

Gil took a step back and quietly moved closer to Kallen. When Seraphim and Dean Roy weren't noticing him, he whispered.

"Kallen, that 'elder' Seraphim just mentioned..."

As a result, Kallen had a similar reaction! She even ignored his question.

"Dean Luo Yi, if it's feasible, we might..."

Anyway, his opinion doesn't count as an opinion.

"Jill, can you really do what the Saint Lady just said?"

Elder...

This word sounds dangerous.

Is it true that he is to be asked to deal with some elder?

But now Jill has no choice.

144. Growth, Life, Happiness, and Um, Loatheb

Even if Kallen asked this, it was not his turn to answer Seraphi's suggestion.

Because: Soon, even though Dean Luo Yi was not convinced, she immediately agreed to Seraphim's proposal.

In exchange for "dealing with the elders from the elves who will appear next", Jill was forgiven for what he did in the "yellow-haired period" and the previous academy festival.

Jill had only one thought in his mind: This is a mess - it would have been fine if it happened during the Yellow Hair period, but wasn't it Dean Roy who was the first to threaten him at the previous academy festival?

But at this point, there was no point in saying anything. How could he not seize this rare opportunity to "get Dean Luoyi's forgiveness directly"?

So, the two parties reached an agreement and agreed to "get ready" next. Then Jill and Seraphim left the Elemental Magic Academy safely.

The sea was calm, but Jill couldn't stay calm.

Especially when he saw Seraphim beside him still looking nonchalant, he couldn't help himself.

Was it curiosity? Or gratitude? He said, "Seraphim, why did you suddenly think of helping me like this?"

As a result, the elf next to him reacted indifferently.

Naturally, there was no "sudden shyness" or other youth romantic comedy-like behavior. Instead, he wore his signature smile, greeting the occasional glances from passersby with a playful tone.

"Didn't I tell you? It's just a matter of reciprocity. Since you don't want anything from me, I'll just do what I want."

"And...don't thank me too soon, Jill~"

He even turned around and said with a meaningful smile: "Whether this condition can be considered as helping you is still uncertain~"

the other side.

In the far west of the Kingdom of Yalilo, after reaching a peaceful territorial boundary with the Kingdom of Yalilo, the mysterious land of the "blond-haired, blue-eyed, long-legged" high elves - the Kingdom of Elwyn, finally had no worries.

It is time to start solving the "internal problems" of the high elves - unlike the Kingdom of Yalilo, where royal power is already at its peak, the high elves, who are good at elemental magic and have faith and worship, although they are in the same kingdom, have already been divided into two factions.

On one side is the royal bloodline of the High Elves, who have bloodline and heritage, and are more talented in elemental magic. Their noble status and innate talent are the reasons why they were born to be rulers.

On the other side are the believers who believe in the Goddess of Life. The Goddess gives the power of life, and the magic of elements is also the magic of different lives.

The two groups of high elves were evenly matched in terms of power and trump cards. The elders who were the oldest, most experienced and powerful among the high elves did not deliberately favor either side.

Thanks to this, although there is no direct conflict among the high elves, various competitions of varying sizes continue to occur in secret - often existing among the royal families of the high elves and the candidates for saints in the church.

After all: the conflict between the two... is the most direct and the most deadly.

As for the High Elves' "elders," their job was to maintain this delicate balance—neither taking sides nor doing nothing, to prevent further conflict. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were mediating.

If there is any "big news" that the elders have paid attention to recently, it is probably the college festival in the capital of the Kingdom of Yalilo.

After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Saint of the Church are in two different academies there. News of the academy festival's results should be arriving soon.

now.

Sunrise time.

The morning sun slowly rises, nurturing the "life" of a new day.

In the glass courtyard under the green leaves, an elf loli, although petite in stature, exudes incomparable maturity in every move, is sitting beside the flower bed, closing her eyes and gently stroking the harp at her waist.

The attire beneath the purple robe was a bit too cool, but in a church populated entirely by female elves, there was nothing wrong with such attire.

The elf loli wore a garland on her golden hair. Her narrowed eyes weren't focused on the harp, but the sound it produced was indeed lively and vivid.

As her white and tender fingertips plucked the strings, the seedlings in the flowerbed beside her seemed to come alive, straightening up and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Elemental magic included spells capable of altering the environment and even devastating the world, but life and growth were also a type of elemental magic. Unfortunately, amidst the current conflict between the royal family and the church, the high elves had no interest in learning this "useless" type of elemental magic.

Finally, at the moment when the elf's fingers pressed on the strings, the footsteps of other elves were heard beside him.

"Elder Melm, a letter has arrived from King Yalilo."

"read."

This time, the elf loli opened her eyes.

However, it was pale and empty, without a trace of spirit. However, it was able to accurately point to the messenger's location.

"The academy festival has ended, and Her Highness the Saint has no direct contact with the princess."

"Who's winning?"

"It's the academy where Her Highness the Saint is, but after that, Her Highness the Saint didn't make any other moves."

This time, the elf named Melm was somewhat moved.

He put down the harp in his hand, and the next moment it was immediately swept away by the vines growing out of the soil nearby.

As he stood up, the vine turned into a guide cane.

"Sending them to Yalilo is not to give them a vacation."

After a pause, she lowered her voice, "Especially Roy. After shedding her responsibilities as a princess, she should at least show some performance in other areas. This is also very important in the struggle between the church and the royal family."

"Shall we send a messenger to bring the princess back?"

"No need. Nothing will change even if I come back anyway. I want to see for myself what kind of a waste of time they are leading in the capital of Yalilo."

"Yes! Then we will prepare immediately..."

"No need to make a big fuss, it's pointless. I'll just go and take a look by myself."

As the elf Melm spoke, he took a step forward. The wreath on his head gradually disappeared, and even his long ears, a distinguishing feature of a high elf, became like those of an ordinary person.

In just a few steps, she had transformed from the "elder of the high elves" into an ordinary blind girl.

"Whether it's Seraphim or Roy, if they didn't follow the elders' request and just ran away to live with humans."

"Then I will bring them back if necessary. Especially Roy, the princess... she's even more decadent than I thought."

"Alas... Didn't Kallen supervise her master?"

145. A grown man puts a spoon in his water cup, and when he drinks water, it makes a tinkling sound, while a woman makes a whining sound.

[A grown man puts a spoon in his water cup, and when he drinks the water, it makes a clinking sound, just like a woman’s squeaking]

After being forced to agree to Seraphim's conditions, Jill felt that he was just like the woman who was seduced step by step by the yellow-haired gangster from a good housewife to the beautiful wife of an Ivy actor. He reluctantly agreed to the "extra conditions" of these high elves.

The most important thing was probably that the contact with the High Elves could not be told to Sirin and the others. The reason was simple and crude - because Seraphim did not want the internal conflicts of the High Elves to be exposed to "outsiders".

At first, Jill wanted to refuse: even if he was "reforming himself", he was still the son of a prince. Doesn't that make him an "outsider"?

Seraphim smiled and said, "Are you really going to tell anyone?"

"If that happens, not only will you not be able to get Dean Luo Yi's forgiveness, but you'll also offend Karen. In the end, even I won't give you any more chances, right?"

This woman is so bad.

At this point, Jill could only grumble inwardly and then acquiesce to Seraphim's demands.

As long as he agreed, these high elves would give him clear instructions on how to "ask for leave" from Xilin.

Dean Roy took advantage of the opportunity of "giving little Princess Celine extra lessons during spare time" to successfully send Celine away for a while. And this class period was naturally the time for Kallen and Seraphim to pull Gil to "discuss countermeasures."

Jill had a feeling that she was part of a conspiracy with the "elf gang", but it was too late to say anything now.

Today is another short holiday for the college.

It was also the day when Xilin resumed her "extracurricular tutoring" with Dean Luoyi.

The elf loli who was previously introverted has now transformed into her usual intellectual and wise teacher. She seems to be completely unconcerned about the impact of the previous academy festival. With a smile on her face, she is doing her best to tutor the little princess of the kingdom.

Xilin certainly didn't realize the change in Dean Luo Yi. She just thought that the dean was a man of great tolerance, who could handle things easily.

Even if Jill knew the reason, he couldn't tell Xilin.

At this moment, he was staying in Dean Roy's residence with two other high elves. In Seraphim's words...

"According to my intelligence, there should only be one elder coming to Alvin this time. We need to discuss how to deal with this elder in advance."

At the wooden table, Seraphim gently stirred the black tea in the cup with a spoon and said with a distressed expression.

It seemed as if she was worried about Dean Roy, but Jill always felt that this sinister woman was gloating.

"After all: Although there is only one elder, she is a bit difficult to deal with."

Because it was a topic that he had no right to join in the conversation, Jill simply chose to play dead.

On the contrary, Kallen, who came to discuss with the two of them on behalf of Dean Roy, showed a nervous expression for a moment.

"Your Highness, this shouldn't happen..."

Seraphim responded with a bright smile.

"That's Elder Melm~"

"hiss……"

Kallen's pretty face became a little distorted for a moment. She rubbed her forehead and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, how about we just... call it quits on our agreement?"

Gil couldn't just ignore such words. He risked having Xilin discover that he was "hiding something" and finally got on Dean Roy's pirate ship, getting a chance to make Dean Roy forgive him...

At this point, Kallen actually said forget it?

Then he would be the first one to disagree!

"Stop, I said stop..."

Especially now, how could he just give up without thinking?

He quickly asked, "Seraphim, Kallen, that elder you're talking about... is he scary?"

As a result, the two elves gave him a look that was even a little "sympathetic": as if to say, I think you don't understand anything, Jill~

"Alas..." Seraphim finally sighed and explained, "Elder Melm is the most prestigious elder among the high elves. She educated many high elf royals and church members when they were young."

"It's not an exaggeration to say she's everyone's teacher. Perhaps because of this, Kallen is a bit cautious~"

"What are you worried about? It's obviously dangerous, right?!"

Before Seraphie could finish her words, Kallen retorted with a frown.

"If it were any other elder, it would be fine, but deceiving Elder Melm... the price to pay for Dean Roy is too high. I can't possibly agree to this!"

It sounds serious, but Jill has no choice now, and... compared to Kallen's nervousness and hesitation, Seraphim is confident.

He even had the mood to threaten others with the same tactics he had used against him before.

"Hey...Karen, you don't think your Dean Roy has the chance to reject me now, do you?"

He sighed and wiggled his fingers.

Jill could only mutter inwardly: Fortunately, he and Seraphim didn't have any conflicts at the moment. If he was controlled by this woman, he would have no chance of turning the tables.

"The one who lost the academy festival wasn't me, but your Dean Roy~"

"I could have just not mentioned this method and let your Dean Luo Yi be punished by the elders~"

As expected, in the previous academy festival, Dean Roy's "victory" was related to her future. Before Seraphim finished speaking, Kallen in front of her showed a frustrated look.
