Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

381 The Elven King



I was currently in a large room with two couches and a few guards lined against the wall. Next to me was Runa and on my shoulder was Little Bell. And hanging off me all over were many other spirits. Across from me was a male elf who looked around seventeen years of age but, in fact, was many hundreds of years old and was actually the king of the elves, Zanil, Runa’s father. And next to him was a woman who looked Runa’s age at fifteen who sat next to him who also was a lot older than she looked by a few hundred years and was, in fact, Runa’s mother, Nal, the queen of the elves.

“To think, after all this time we finally get to meet the one person who my daughter always goes on about. Your achievements can be said to have spread far and wide.” The king of the elves gave me a meaningful look. I mean, yes, I have done a lot, but does he need to look at me as if I am some kind of piece of meat?

“I only have done things in order to protect my kingdom and family. I am just a humble girl who never wanted too much fame.” I replied, only to have Runa burst out laughing.

“You have never kept a low profile!” Runa was holding her stomach as she laughed while leaning against me, causing me to purse my lips.

“It’s not like I meant to! Do you know how many times that old man kept trying to trick me into taking his throne!? If not for the fact that I wanted to marry Adel, I would not have been given the throne in the first place! I just wanted to play with magic and live a life of a commander while exploring the world in my free time. But now look!” I whined, but this only caused Runa to laugh even more.

“Ahem… Runa, you shouldn’t laugh at other’s misfortune.” The elven king said while trying to reprimand Runa. But looking at his lips twitching, I couldn’t help but say: “It does not sound very convincing when you are holding back your own laughter!”

“Hehe…. Runa has found a good friend.” The elven queen smiled as she covered her mouth. I let out a long sigh as I watched this family of three pick on me.

“At any rate. I do not wish for any of this, but now that I will be having my coronation soon, I will not slack either. And this is why I am here. King of Elves, I request your assistance. I come today with the full authority of the crown princess to form an alliance between the current Gravos Kingdom, soon to be renamed the Cyrilia Empire, and your World Tree Kingdom. I wish for our two nations to form a pack of loyalty and trust that allows for free and open trade as well as full defensive capabilities between the two nations.” I got into my serious mode as I began to speak.

“Hmmm… what do you mean by full defensive capabilities?” The elven king asked. He also entered his kingly mode.

“I mean, if your nation is attacked, we will come to defend you and vice versa. But this also means you will need to understand my reasoning and plans for the future. As of now, there are not many people on this continent who can surpass me in power. If I wish to take the land, I can. But this is not my goal or vision for the future.

“Right now, we are in a state of the unknown. I have discovered two different forces that can be a threat to our world. One is a man who is able to bypass my barriers without leaving any traces whatsoever, and then there is Azengrade and his people, who seem to be up to something. I am sure you have heard of what happened in the dwarven kingdom. They are a race of extremely powerful beings who seem to have some kind of influence over the dungeons. Even my husband can not fight Azengrade and come out unscathed. He even admitted to not knowing if he could beat him. This is just how powerful they are.

“Because of these unknown factors, I want to unite the continent. And do away with slavery against us demi human races and human races. The best kingdom has started enslaving humans, as you may know already. I do not wish for us to fight and would prefer not to use force to achieve my goals, but….” I paused, and before I could finish what I was going to say, the king of elves finished it for me. “Not everyone will see eye to eye with your cause….”

“I understand this much, which means that we may be called out to fight at any time. Is this correct?” The elven king asked.

“If we can, I would prefer to go with the new golems that the dwarves are creating. This can be done manually or auto. I do not wish for bloodshed and want the people around me to feel like they are not being sent to battle to be cannon fodder. I do not want anyone to die if possible. But I think with the threats we have now against us, I can only move on with my current plans and hope for the best whether I can get people to join a continent wide alliance or if I have to use force to make them understand that some battles should not be fought to begin with.” I mean, if the people who first reject and try to go to battle, then I will send troops out, but if they suddenly change their minds, we can only stop tension and talk about how we will do things. This way, bloodshed can be avoided as much as possible.

“I see. And to do this you need the assistance of elven runic inscription masters to help the dwarves with their golem creations?” The elven king seemed to be trying to get all the facts before making a decision. “Can I see this creation you speak of?”
