Liya opened the door of the house and stood in the yard, looking at the crowd gathered.
Leon was standing at the door of the mansion, and beside him stood an elf who also had long pointed ears.
The appearance of an elf naturally attracted many servants to watch.
Liya waved her hand and dismissed the servants.
Then, she set her sights on the elf.
She has long yellow hair that dances in the air.
She was wrapped in pure white silk, and her fair skin seemed to glow in the sunlight.
The petite body looked a little unsteady, like a cold flower bone, standing beside Leon with some restraint.
Leon came to Liya's side and said respectfully.
"Miss Leah, she said her name is Lacey."
The Lacey in front of her looked very weak, but her personality didn't seem to match her appearance.
She raised her head, a little proud, and also looked at Liya in front of her.
But when she heard Leon's respectful tone, she seemed a little stunned.
"Same...same race?"
"Why are you so respectful to a mere human being?"
Listening to Lacey's words, Liya raised her eyebrows.
This elf doesn't seem to be very friendly to humans.
"Shut up."
Leon's cold voice sounded, and his eyes hidden in the hood flashed like a cold light, giving Lacey a cold look.
Lacey seemed to be startled and looked at her blankly, but she could only get Leon's still cold and distant words.
"I don't have any kin like you."
The surrounding air seemed to become tense. Liya noticed this somewhat subtle atmosphere and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Hey, okay, okay."
"Leon, she is my family, she is just protecting me."
As Liya spoke, she patted Leon's back gently, signaling for her to compromise a little.
She didn't want Leon's attitude towards Lacey to lead to rumors being spread about her and being accused of the crime of abducting elves.
Oh, Kokot doesn’t count.
Again, she is her own employee who signed the contract.
Feel free to oppress.
"Okay Leon, don't say any more."
After listening to Liya's words, Leon regained his attitude, turned his head and said nothing.
Lacey seemed a little unable to accept it, but saw Liya smiling and her voice ringing out.
"I heard that you want to find the Elf Queen?"
"I have some news here."
…
In the luxurious hall of the mansion, there seemed to be a faint scent of incense floating in the air.
Several huge sofas occupied the middle position in the luxurious hall.
Floor-length black gold curtains covered most of the huge windows.
Only a little sunlight shines through the gaps and the skylight above.
Liya sat on the sofa, and Lacey sat opposite her naturally.
White slow clouds drifted over the dome, and the blue sky reflected in front of everyone.
Leon stood behind Liya, looking like a personal guard.
"Why were you caught... and mixed up with those demihumans' fleet?"
Liya asked Lacey in front of her affectionately.
For the elves, especially Lacey who looked very proud in front of her.
Naturally, you cannot use a passive word like 'grab'.
So Liya quickly changed her tune.
As expected, the elf just slowly raised its head, looking very arrogant and confident.
"In order to find the queen, I left the Elf Forest and happened to meet a group of humans in the wild."
"They said they could help me find the queen, but the condition is that I go with them and do them a favor."
"So I went with them."
She spread her hands and her tone was very calm.
It was like telling Liya that if she hadn't taken the initiative to follow those people, she would never have been caught.
Listening to her words, Liya nodded with a look of agreement on her face.
"Then do you have any impression of those people who caught... and met you?"
"Goose? Impression?"
Lacey raised a finger and put it on her chin, her eyes blinked and wandered left and right, as if she was recalling something trivial.
"I just remember that there was a warrior with a sword inside. He looked very strong. I was quite impressed."
"Of course, he is definitely not as powerful as me."
As she spoke, she crossed one leg over the other, opened her arms, placed them on the back of the long sofa, and spread her hands.
Recalling the appearance of the swordsman, Lacey seemed to have a little disdain on her face.
Liya looked at her, clapped her hands with a smile, and said in compliment:
"Wow, that's so awesome."
"Oh yes, there's nothing to entertain you here so early in the morning. How about a cup of tea?"
"Heilnason? Please make a pot of tea and bring it over."
Liya shouted behind her, then turned back to look at Lacey.
"We only have tea here, do you mind?"
Lacey showed an indifferent expression and waved her hand.
"Forget it, no matter how precious human things are, they are nothing good. Ordinary tea will do."
"I think back when I was still in the Elf Forest, all I drank was natural rain and dew. Of course, the rain and dew we have there is not ordinary rain and dew."
"The elves will collect them and give them natural blessings. They are extremely sweet. Humans like you will live longer if you drink them."
Liya narrowed her eyes again, clapped her hands gently, tilted her head and said with a smile:
"Wow, that's so awesome."
"Of course, you haven't seen many of them."
Lacey seemed to enjoy Liya's compliments very much and became more and more proud.
She raised her head, as if she could fly to the sky in the next second.
Liya didn't say anything, she just continued to smile and looked at her quietly.
Lacey was still looking up at the blue sky.
But why does it feel a little wobbly?
The expression on her face was slightly stiff.
Outside the room, there were waves of huge shaking sounds.
It seemed like the whole earth was shaking.
Lacey quickly shrank her head and covered her ears as if she was frightened.
"Wow, what happened?"
"Don't be nervous, that should be the sound of the daily training of our family's knights."
Liya explained with a smile as if nothing happened.
Lacey was very puzzled and looked up at Liya in surprise.
"Daily...daily training? Can it make such a loud noise?"
"It's nothing. Their training usually involves carrying rocks, running, and training on horseback riding."
…
On the training ground, a group of knights lined up densely on the field.
Each person's body carries an extremely huge rock on their back.
The huge rock must be as tall as three or four people put together. Compared with those knights, it is as tall as a hill.
But the knights seemed to have no weight on their bodies, carrying the boulders easily and running back and forth between the huge training grounds.
After going back and forth, they suddenly placed the boulder on the ground, causing a wave of dust.
A sound like an earthquake resounded throughout the house, as if it was proof of their efforts.
A cat girl instructor wearing an instructor's hat and revealing black cat ears whistled and continued to give instructions.
"Next set of training! Continue!"
The demihuman training method in the wild is also surprisingly effective for human knights.
Liya also put one leg over the other, put one hand on her mouth, half-covered her mouth, and said with a chuckle.
"It's just training that ordinary people can do."
Lacey: "..."
Lacey was still confused as to what kind of training could cause such a huge sound to reach her ears so clearly.
But suddenly, an extremely terrifying sense of oppression came from behind.
It was like a strong and cold beast hiding in the dark, staring at her.
Lacey's neck suddenly stiffened, and some beads of sweat formed on the back of her neck.
It was like a huge shadow that blocked the sunlight above her head and completely enveloped her.
Soon, the shadow gradually left behind him.
A figure passed by Lacey.
He was like a giant, as tall as two people put together, and with an extremely strong body.
Even through the butler's uniform on his body, you can see the terrifying muscles that are about to bulge.
Like a giant bear, he stood upright and stood beside Lacey.
In his huge palm, he held a tray.
The tray that a normal person would need to hold with one hand seemed much smaller than his huge palm.
On the tray, there is a very luxurious ceramic teapot, exuding the fragrance of tea.
The giant bear man gently held the teacup with two fingers, seemingly not daring to exert any force, and gently placed it on the table in front of Lacey and Liya.
Then, he held the same small teapot in his hand and poured tea into their empty cups.
The water level of the tea was controlled just right, and it didn't spill or be poured too full.
Lacey was stunned for a moment.
That huge body looks very incongruous with the exquisite tea set.
But his skillful and elegant movements seemed to be as skillful as they had been refined over time.
Lacey couldn't understand.
After doing all this, the bear man bowed slowly to the two of them.
A strong sense of oppression slowly spread out from his body, seeming to completely wrap Lacey in it.
"Please use."
Lacey was so frightened by the strong aura that her hands began to tremble, and she lowered her head. The arrogant posture just now seemed to have completely disappeared.
"More, more, more...thank you for the treat."
Liya picked up the teacup, smiled at Heernarsen and nodded.
"Thank you, Heiernason, you can go and rest."
"Miss Liya, please feel free to ask me if you need anything."
He bowed respectfully to Liya, and when he stood up, he glanced at Lacey.
At this glance, Lacey seemed to have lost her soul and sat stiffly on the sofa.
Lacey still didn't come back to her senses until Hernason dragged his strong body away.
It was as if the strong sense of oppression had not dissipated from her body.
Until Liya's voice sounded:
"Huh? What's wrong with you? You look a little uncomfortable."
"Uh, oh, ah? I, I, I'm okay, I'm okay."
Hearing Liya's voice, Lacey finally came back to her senses and smiled with a somewhat stiff smile.
As if wanting to relieve the embarrassment, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.
But the next second, he quickly closed his mouth.
So... so hot!
Even though her face turned red, she didn't open her mouth to spit it out.
As an elf, she can accept this kind of temperature!
Lacey forced herself to swallow it, resisting the burning heat.
The corners of her eyes were so hot that she squeezed out a few tears, but she still insisted on putting down the tea cup.
"Hmm...this tea...is good!"
Liya smiled, blew, took a sip, and put down the teacup.
"That man just now is my housekeeper. Although he is big, he is clever and clever."
"I knew you would be satisfied with the tea it makes."
Lacey nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I think you're right."
Ingenuity?
Don't think she can't tell it's a bear.
The sense of oppression that Heiernason brought to her was too terrifying.
It was as if the other party could kill her with one punch.
Lacey always felt like she had accidentally fallen into a wolf's den, and now she regretted it.
If I had known this, I would never have come to this Cravena house.
A knight who can cause earthquakes just by training.
And the bear-man, who looks terrifying.
That bear man must be the strongest in their family...
Lacey didn't want to stay here any longer, and said with a forced smile:
"Well... let's talk about the main topic, Miss Liya."
"Ah, are you talking about the Elf Queen? This..."
Liya smiled slightly, but that smile seemed to be full of calculations like a devil.
"You have to ask my brother, he knows more."
"Your...brother?"
Lacey was slightly startled.
Suddenly, an aura that made her feel even more overwhelmed instantly climbed to the top of her head.
In a trance, she seemed to have come to a place of silence.
A scorching sun hung in the sky, and the whole body seemed to be completely surrounded by a lush forest.
Suddenly, in this primitive forest, she seemed to see something extremely terrifying.
Two huge beasts appeared in mid-air.
One was covered in lava, while the other was surrounded by vines.
The extremely terrifying pressure made Lacey's body soaked in cold sweat.
Ding! Ding!
The crisp sound of footsteps like stepping on the stairs sounded slowly.
Lacey's consciousness was suddenly brought back to reality.
She couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.
What caught his eye was a stern face slowly coming out of the darkness.
Before Lacey could see clearly, an indifferent gaze, like a sharp blade, passed through her body.
"I heard that something happened to you?"
