?379 A Trip To The Elven Kingdom

With a month away from my coronation to become the first empress of the Cyrilia Empire, I was currently on my way to the elven kingdom, World Tree Kingdom. The kingdom gets its name from the huge tree that grows in the center of the kingdom that the castle is built in front of. The whole kingdom is basically a forest and has no visible towns or cities as they are all hidden under the tree canopies except for the capital city, which is slightly visible.

I read up a lot on this kingdom in order to visit it one day, and now here I am, standing in front of the gates of the city, waiting for a certain person to pick me up. How I got here so quickly, some may ask. Well… Dimensional Transfer has a small loophole in it that I can easily take advantage of. The spell works as a beacon to places I have visited, but if I use images of a place, I can easily reach my destination since I already know where I am going.

I had originally wanted to just have Runa send a few people over my way without needing to come to the kingdom, but Runa insisted on me visiting and speaking to her father. With no other option, I was now here with three elven guards standing in front of me, watching me like a hawk with swords pointing at me.

You can say having someone suddenly pop out of nowhere in front of the capital city's main gate would cause a scene. Luckily I have my envoy insignia, and they were willing to make a report for me.

Sadly I still had to stand there under sword point for almost thirty minutes before Runa appeared: "Lower your weapons! How dare you point your swords at my friend!"

Runa looked quite mad as she walked over, pointing her finger at the guards, who were all startled. I smiled and shook my head as I said: "Runa, you can not get mad at guards who were doing their job. After all, our world's communication systems are not the best."

"It doesn't matter. You still have a seal of an envoy on you which means you are a guest in our nation, which means they have not followed proper procedure. They should have taken you to a room to rest while you waited for me to show up and should not have made you stand there under sword point. For one, it could have gotten them killed if they acted out of line and would have caused an international incident, mainly you annexing our elven empire!" Runa snorted as she pointed out many things, but one thing that stood out was she was really making me into a tyrant!

"Runa, I am not that bad!" I tried to argue. But she only gave me a look before saying: "In a single day, you single handedly took over three kingdoms all by yourself, even with their advanced technology. You then went to another kingdom on your way to the dwarven empire and annexed it. In another kingdom, you stole their mountain range and forced them to all treat you like their queen. And then…."

"Okay, stop!" I yelled out. So what if I did a few dirty deeds? No one is clean in this world! At least mine was for the benefit of my people!

But her words did seem to make the three guards sweat because they were now drenched, and it was not even raining out. "Anyway, I am here like you requested."

"Hehe! Finally, I get Faith all to myself! Come, we will now go on an adventure!" Runa grabbed my hand and began dragging me through the gates. The guards who followed her all looked at each other with worried expressions before following after us.

"Runa, I did not come where to play. That would need to wait until after my coronation!" I really did not come to play. I had many things to plan out!

"Don't worry. Didn't you say you had three days at most to hang around and come hang out with me for a while? It has been so long!" Runa pouted, which made me feel bad. It is true that I have not really spent much time with this friend of mine. So I can see why she is so excited.

But I must say, as we walked through the gates that were made out of tree roots that arched over the thick earthen walls, I was quite impressed with the city in front of me. Many large leaves floated across the sky as a form of transportation. There were many vine woven bridges going between the tree tops to wooden huts that were built on the tree limbs themselves. The trees here were massive compared to the ones outside but still dwarfed compared to the world tree that rose high into the sky to the point that I think the tip actually went into the outer atmosphere.

In stories I have read back on Earth, the world tree was the tree that gave life to every living thing on the planet. But I think this world tree is not as it seems and is more of a spirit. The reason I say this is because of the small spirits that are currently hanging from my tail, wings, and clothes.

"Stay away from my Faith!" Little Bell suddenly flew out of her space and began smacking all the spirits away. She was being quite possessive for a spirit who rarely showed herself.

"Little Bell, don't be mean," I said softly as I pulled the little spirit back and placed her on my head.

"But…. They are trying to steal you away…." Little Bell pouted. I smiled and poked her belly. "Don't worry. No one will take me away, plus only you have your own domain inside my body. So how can they steal me?"

"Ah!" Little Bell seemed to be struck by lightning as this relation dawned on her. "Hehe, I forgot. But Bell wishes to see the ancient if that is okay."

"We will have to see. I am not sure if I will be allowed to get near the tree." With Little Bell's words, I guess my assumption about the world tree was true. It was indeed a spirit. An ancient one at that it seems.
