(3) King of Green Elves

"Finally, I'm nearly there..." Jake said relieved.

He could also feel Pegasus' fatigue as well. Once they would get to the Kingdom, they would find a place to sleep and get some rest, the next day they would be off to see the King.

They still had a long way to go, they had to go down the mountain, and travel another few hundred meters.

Once they reached the Kingdom, the gate was wide open with many people even though it was nighttime entering it.

Jake was confused because apparently there were more evil races in this world than good ones.

"Lady system, why is their security so ignorant, aren't they scared of being under attack?"

[The Kingdom is one of the 3 Kingdoms of Tirion, this is why they are confident no Kingdom would dare to attack them, and if it were to happen, they would annihilate the enemy before they could reach the bridge.

"But what if a Kindom like the white orcs appear, then what happens?"

[The white Orcs live far away, it would take more than 3 weeks for them to get to the Green elves, by that time, the green elves would already be informed about their coming]

Jake entered the gate without any problem and found a small place to stay. It was called home sweet home.

He entered the building and asked for the cheapest room.

"Good evening elder, I would like your cheapest room..."

"10 coins," the elder elf said in a disinterested tone.

Jake checked how much he had, but he couldn't even find a wallet. When he realized he had no money, he looked at the man with an awkward smile.

"Listen, elder, I come from far, so can't you do a favour for a young elf in need?"

"Now you listen Handsome, no money, no room alright!" The elder elf started to raise his tone and slammed the table which separated both of them.

"Alright, I'll leave, no need to get so fired up..." Jake left the hotel and searched for many more in vain until one of the hotels told him that he could sleep in the barn with his horse.

Jake accepted gladly and despite the unpleasant smell, he managed to have a good night sleep.

The next day, Jake was woke by something very wet.

"Hey stop it, it tickles..." Jake said still sleeping

When he slowly opened his eyes, he realized it was Pegasus licking him for some reason.

"Ahhh, what the fuck!!" Jake leapt from the pile of hay and cleaned his face as much as he could.

"Hey!"

The one who allowed him to sleep in the bar. was calling him.

"If you want, we've got a shower for employees, if what your saying is true that you are gonna meet the king, you better not smell like Horse shit,"

The elf showed him the way to the bathroom. Jake removed his attire and put it in the mana washer. He looked at himself in the mirror just to realize how handsome he was.

Jake had pointy ears long black hair, brown eyes and quite a muscular body.

'Such a shame I'm so weak..." Jake thought touched his cheeks.

It didn't take long for Jake to have a shower, and he was off for the royale palace. When he reached it, he realized it was even bigger than the guild's headquarters. When he looked sideways, it was like the walls around the castle had no end.

When he approached the castle, 2 knight elves with spears stopped him and pointed their spears at him.

"Halt, what are you doing here white elf?" One of the guards asked.

'I'm just a messenger, h~here I have the letter with me, I'm from the Isengard guild,"

Jake showed them the letter and his identity card. The elf guards immediately allowed the passage excusing themselves for such impolite manners.

Jake entered the palace, as he dismounted his horse, and attached him to a pole.

Jake then walked towards the door entrance, and before he could even reach it, the door opened with one female and one male green elf accompanied by many guards behind them.

As they walked past Jake, it seemed like the female was trying to convince the male of something.

Jake took that opportunity to enter the palace. Once he entered, there was a wall in front of him, and two ways, on the left and on the right. He heard a lot of noise on the right, so he decided to follow it.

He continued until the noise intensified and e could now clearly hear the discussion.

"He is still not ready Miranda!"

"What do you know about that Denethor!? You never come to his training, you don't even know the level he has gained over the past hundred years!"

"If we give the Mjolnir at such a young age, he might get reckless with it and start unnecessary wars!"

"If you are planning to go to war with the white elves, then why don't you make your son the kingdom's champion!?"

"The white elves are still under development, its only a matter of time before they become as powerful as us, but for now we don't need a champion to defeat them!"

Jake widened his eyes after what he heard.

'A war against the white elves!? Wait a minute, I'm a white elf, and if the green elves are as powerful as the system told me, then we don't stand a chance!'

Jake knew that he couldn't get away because he was saw by many people so the Green elf King would just declare war immediately.

He had to find a way to inform his Kingdom without anyone finding out he overheard their conversation.

'Alright, I'll just enter the room, and act as if I didn't hear anything..."

Jake then took a deep breath, and entered the room acting completely normal. Their conversation finished a few minutes ago, so they weren't very suspicious.

"Umm... good morning your highness," Jake said bowing down to him.

"Oh, a white elf," A female elf next to the King said.

The King, was a ginger haired man with a white cloak while and the female elf was a long brown haired elf who seemed to be the King's wife given the tone she speaks to him.

"What does a white elf come to do here?" The King asked.

"Well your highness, I am from the Isengard guild and I come to deliver a message..."

"It is quite late for messages at the moment. Right now I am preparing... a special event we can say and I don't accept requests from outdoor guilds anymore,"

The real reason he doesn't accept messages is because if he accepted to help a guild from Estoria, then he would automatically become allies with them and to break an alliance, it takes hundreds of years.

Maybe in those hundred years, Estoria will become a strong opponent that can oppose resistance to the green elves.

"Oh, well I will make sure to inform my superiors of the complication. Thank you for your time..." Jake turned around, and was about I leave until Miranda stopped him.

"Wait!"

Jake froze imagining the worse.

'Does she know that I know what they know about the war?'

"Before you go, please, I would like you to find the Prince Luther. He is surely with his sister Katrina,"

"Indeed, I saw two well dressed elves when I entered the palace..."

"Please, can you find them for me and tell them the King needs to talk to them,"

Jake bowed as he left and started searching for the Prince. It took him about 30 minutes because of how vast the palace was.

He then found him with his sister in the training section. His sister was sitting in a bench while the brother was training on a dummy.

Jake only had one thing in mind at the moment, get out of this Kingdom. They could find out at any moment that he overheard their discussion and track him down.
