Elli's eyes lit up when she spotted Yue, and she immediately waved her hand toward her. Iva also stood up to hug her daughter, who rarely cto meet her because Yue was busy training. She immediately asked what her daughter wanted to eat, and she would make it for her.
Iva knew Yue was going to leave the plin a few days, but her daughter had grown up and becstronger even more than her brother and father. So, even though she was very worried, she let her heart calm down and agreed when Yue told her she would be leaving for a dangerous place.
The three of them entered the house together, and after Iva prepared a delicious meal for everyone, they all gathered around a round wooden table to eat. The aroma of food filled the air as the sound of utensils clinking echoed through the house while the tchatted softly. But the one who spoke the most was Iva; she asked many questions about what Yue did and what rank her daughter had achieved.
Iva did not fully understand the new terms Yue used, but she enjoyed listening to whatever her daughter shared.
In the distance, Nox stretched his body and leaped onto the dining table to let the three women know he was also in the house, so they would stop ignoring him.
Iva chuckled and lifted Nox before gently patting the Lynx's head.
"Nox, remember, you must always stay with Yue. Look out for each other... I truly don't want either of you to get hurt."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNox blinked and looked at Yue, who sighed and said she would contact Iva and Elli from tto tafter leaving. It's not like the Sacred Divine Land would stop her from using a communication crystal.
Yue spent the next few days with the two women, and soon it was tfor her to leave. Sebastian showed up outside her house dressed in a stylish grey outfit that suited his hair and eyes.
He mentioned he wanted to go with Yue as they both needed to head towards the flying ship docked a bit farther from the town. This ship would take them and all the other elves participating in the Gladiator Arena to the Sacred Divine Land.
Sebastian smiled and shamelessly extended his hand toward Yue, but his smile stiffened when she ignored him and started walking towards the town's exit with her mother and Elli, who insisted on seeing her safely board the ship.
The area around the massive ship was bustling with many elves who had cto watch their family members and friends board the ship.
Many powerful old elves, who were also heading to the Sacred Divine Land to supervise and safeguard those taking part in the Gladiator Arena, floated above the ship, discussing which elves had a better chance of winning in the Arena.
Across from the ship, in the middle of the crowd, Sebastian was getting beaten up by his father, who complained about why the young man ran off alone when the old man wanted to watch him board the ship.
Iva tightly grasped Yue's hands and hugged her one last tbefore asking her to go and board the ship. Elli also opened her arms with a smile for a hug. She never thought Yue would becher closest friend because, for her, Yue was someone strong she could only admire from afar.
It was all thanks to Nine, that fool who she doesn't even know where he is right now. Nox, who had been sitting on Elli's shoulder, leaped and climbed onto Yue's shoulder when she started moving toward the ship.
Sebastian also ran behind Yue as his father dabbed his moist eyes with a handkerchief while voicing out little curses directed at his only son, whom he wasn't even sure would cback alive or not.
After everyone who was going to participate in the Gladiator Arena boarded the ship, the old elves prepared to leave. But suddenly, the Tree of Fate began to tremble slightly. The crowd's eyes widened in shock, and the old elves were also taken aback. Immediately, a huge discussion ensued with everyone pondering what was happening.
"What's going on?"
"The Tree of Fate has never reacted like this before."
"Is it bidding farewell to the elves heading to the Sacred Divine Land?"
The crowd fell silent when a beautiful humming sound emanated from the tree, and its leaves began to dance as if expressing joy. Instantly, everyone erupted in happiness, thinking that the Tree of Fate was bestowing its blessings upon the people leaving for a dangerous place.
The people who had boarded the ship all expressed their gratitude to the Tree of Fate. Even Yue held out her hand to touch sleaves of the Tree of Fate, but she blinked when, for the first time, the Tree of Fate ignored her. She stared at the tree and watched as it once again erupted with another humming sound that becmore like a melody reverberating throughout the whole planet. Suddenly, one of the old men let out a shout with a boisterous laugh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The Tree of Fate has given us all its blessing! We shouldn't waste more tand leave to not disappoint it!"
The crowd agreed with the old man and cheered with tears of happiness because it's been a long tsince they saw the Tree of Fate humming with such joy. Many people quickly started filling the ship's engine with mana stones, and after a minute, the ship started floating. Under everyone's eyes, it reached the sky.
The old Queen of the elven race left her living quarters in a beautiful, elegant robe and stared at the tree with shock before muttering under her breath.
"What the heck is happening? Why is the Tree of Fate so happy? Don't tellit's going to bear the fruit of fate...?"
The woman hiding in her shadow disagreed with her immediately.
"No, if it was going to bear the fruit of fate, it would have showered the whole plwith spiritual energy. It's just... happy?"
They watched the tree in silence. Not just the two of them; many powerful individuals cout from their houses to watch the tree whose leaves danced in the air.
Glacia also left the restaurant where she was staying and narrowed her eyes at the Tree of Fate. Not only were the elves, but also the demons residing on the elven planet, alerted by the tree's sudden movement.
The current leader of the demons, who had been waiting for a chance to get her hands on the fruit of fate, also left her chamber to watch the Tree of Fate with hungry eyes.
