Looking at the elf with a downcast expression before her, Gu Shengyin took a closer look at him and found his features increasingly familiar.
A tiny figure from the depths of her mind suddenly appeared, and Gu Shengyin had an epiphany, "Ailuner?"
Sure enough, the elf across from her lifted his head in surprise upon hearing his name called out, revealing a joyful smile to her.
Ailuner was ecstatic, "Her Majesty the Queen still remembers me!"
Yet Gu Shengyin felt an urge to clutch at her chest in that instant.
This child, with his innate purity and beauty that seemed untouched by the mortal world, now showed a smile full of complete trust and joy; even Gu Shengyin, accustomed to seeing beauty, wanted to say: It's simply unfair!
Not to mention, this seemingly delicate and obedient child was one she had raised herself.
Gu Shengyin felt guilty for not recognizing her at first glance.
