After meeting with Damien,the blacksmith and gave him the materials and the measurement of our body we strolled around the elven capital with Theresa being our guide.
She mostly showed us shops and restaurants, you can say the crowded and frequented places.
Obviously we didn't just looked,since we have lots of gold coins we didn't control ourselves and bought a lot of clothes ,mainly dresses.
What we basically did was a date with the princess of the elven race.
Through the day we also met Edea whom joined with the four of us in our shopping spree.
In the end we returned in our tree houses with saticfaction.
...
I asked to Theresa to also introduce to Ira and Velena each one of them an adequete instructor for their training.
The queen, hearing that the friends Theresa made were searching for an instructor,she volunteered herself to give guidance to Velena and introduced a court mage for Ira.
Obviously they wouldn't be always at their side as they have they own duties but they would visit the two thrice a week to see their progress and go forward in their training.
Every time after a lesson,I would see the queen and the mage extremely happy and satisfied while the two groaning with pain,one physically and the other mentally.
As for me?Every time the queen and the mage were at out tree instructing the two,I would stroll around the capital with Theresa and Edea or would pass the afternoon with the king in the throne room talking about various and secret stuff.
This is an example of what and how our conversation were:
-So?How many today?
-Five were dispacthed,amongs them a noble.
-How they died?
-In an unfortunate incident.
-Is that so?How sad.Life can be sometimes so unpredictable.Anyway how about the tree?
-It is steadily growing,with thousands of elves supplying their life force, it will take less than a year.
-Are they running out?
-No,criminals are plenty so we will never resort on using civilians.By the way how they are going?
-Good,they are learning fast,thanks with your majesty and Ms.Courtney...but they are a bit strange...
-...
-...
-So what about Theresa and Edea?
-Yesterday they bought a great quantity of clothes and snacks for our sleepover.
-So that's where the money I give her go...
-Isn't that good?The money is being redistributed instead of taking dust in your treasury.
-Tch.
-The situation in the alliance?
-Which one?
-Both.
-The Kindred is going well,the fairies are a bit slower in the purge but overall is going well.While the other is quite disastrous.
-From one to ten,how much?
-*sigh* seven...
-Oh?How so?
-In the dwarven and human side, that kind of laws are being forcibly introduced and people are slowly accepting and adapting on it but at the same time dissatisfaction is slowly spreading amongs the populace but too scared to be targeted they remain silent.
-The horned race?
-Like us they purge those with that kind of thought but instead of secretly eliminating them they brutally persecute them,under the order of their new queen.
-Wow.

This is a fun fact about the king.
It was something I discovered something about Aalrie and Courney ,well it was something the king himself confided to me and that is that the two are in love with him in a rather not healthy way,it was something that few knew but it seems before Thaleasin became a king and was just a prince he had two girlfriends,one the current queen and the other the current court mage.
He was at that time clueless about their dark side as they showed themselves sweet and kind in front of him.But after he became a king it seems that he slowly find out that towards everyone else specially females they were not as kind and sweet in front of him instead they were extremely harsh and cold taht they even use threats and blackmails to send away 'potential threats' and over time they started to give rules and restriction which Thaleasin have to follow otherwise a hell of pleasure and pain would await him in the following night.
The king still loves them but it seems these last years he felt a bit isolated and lonely and had to vent all his problems to someone and that happened to be me,there would be time he would reveal all kind of things and secrets about his lovers that for a time I was unable to watch in the eyes the queen and the court mage without blushing or break out in a cold sweat,the only fact that Aalrie and Courtney are friendly with us is the fact we are friends with Theresa, but that do not explain why they are so friendly with Velena and Ira, am I missing something?
Obviously my dates with the two elves were not only with the purpose of shopping and other stuff but also to absorb the emotions around the capital.
We frequented crowded places and spots where positive emotions are normally released.
Although I absorbed a ton of them it didn't change that much.
With Theresa and Edea,we all became rather close,close enough to call each other sister but there was something I couldn't put on about the tone when the two call me sister...It was like there was something hidden in that word,maybe I'm just imagining it.
And just like that we peacefully passed a year in the elven kingdom waiting for the World Tree to bloom at its fullest.
From our darkwood tree you could see in the distance,in the direction of the royale tree, there's a titanic and mighty tree even now slowly growing bit by bit,right now thousands of elven criminals are giving their life force to forcibly accelerate the growth of the tree.
It would take just another day to reach its maturity and a trasculent barrier would appear and surround the capital together with the entire elven lands,this barrier would protect this place from calamities creating a safe haven in this world from the calamities.
Around the capital you could see the inhabitants of the capital preparing festivities and such for tomorrow.
A day where plenty of positive emotions would be absorbed.
Ah,apparently my affection rate with the two didn't raise that much during this year but it was enough to surpass the number 75 which is where they should start to act weird but during these past months they didn't showed much change they became just a bit clingy but other than that nothing else.Maybe the system was just playing tricks on me.But also after reaching 80 it didn't raise by a single unit for months so I guess we are safe for now,right?They are so sweet and cute that I can't immagine them using threats and blackmails in fact who would teach them those kind of things,not their instructors...right?RIGHT?!
