I Received System to Become Dragonborn-Chapter 161 Approved

Aurdis felt that this silence had gone too long.

The purpose of her coming here was to convey a big problem that happened in the palace.

She had expected that the response from the King and Queen of The Forest Elf would not be good.

But she was expecting something like a strong refusal.

She did not expect the suffocating silence to fill the room like this.

Aurdis had told them all about what crisis befell her kingdom now.

She got straight to the point and said that a traitor was trying to destroy the palace and the kingdom.

Aurdis also said that most likely, Laston was the traitor.

Faenith and Farion, the Queen and King of the Forest Elf, looked shocked hearing Aurdis's words.

They even stopped their feeds abruptly. But they didn't say anything after that.

About five minutes had passed since Aurdis finished telling everything.

However, there was still no response from either of them.

So Aurdis steeled her heart to speak and broke the cold silence.

"(I'm sorry, Your Majesty. But I need your answer now.)"

Faenith turned her head and looked at Aurdis.

From the side, she could see Aurdis' fists clenched under the table.

Her jaw tightened and a bead of sweat appeared on her temple.

Faenith knew that Aurdis had steeled herself with great difficulty to squeeze the word out of her mouth. To be able to speak before her husband.

Farion took a deep breath. Then he continued to eat his meal.

"(I'm thinking about it. Continue with your meal,)" Farion said.

Aurdis slightly flinched. Farion's words didn't sound threatening or angry at all.

He just said it like they were having a normal conversation.

But Aurdis couldn't help but feel anxious. She also had to endure the shame of acting so selfless.

It was her father who had decided to cut ties with the Forest Elves.

Now, Aurdis was here and asked for their help. If not for the fate of her kingdom is threatened, Aurdis would not have dared to do this.

Faenith, on the other hand, realized how troubled Aurdis felt.

Yet, she couldn't do anything. Because helping her is not just a matter of wanting or not wanting to help.

When Faenith glanced at Farion, her husband was continuing to eat with his eyes unfocused on what he was eating.

She knew that Farion was also as troubled as Aurdis.

For now, Faenith couldn't say anything. A sigh left her mouth and she too continued his meal.

Aurdis was indeed hungry and tired. Still, she doesn't seem to be in the mood to eat anything.

Her restlessness forced her entire body to ignore hunger and tiredness.

She couldn't relax until her answer was approved. Not only responded, but approved.

"(Your father still hasn't returned from Grayland?)" suddenly, Fairon asked.

Aurdis looked up to look at him. "(Yes.)"

Fairon seemed to shake his head lightly. He then sighed knowing that discussing it was pointless.

Fairon also knew that Aurdis felt the same unrest. Or even worse.

After once more sighing, Fairon the Forest Elf King finally spoke.

"(I will help you.)"

Aurdis' eyes widened instantly, glaring at Fairon in disbelief.

"(Y-You want to help?)"

"(Yes. I think it's time for our feud to end,)" Fairon said.

Aurdis immediately smiled a happy smile. She had not expected that what came out of Fairon's mouth next would be approval.

She thought they would still be engaged in an argument for a while longer, and Aurdis still had to convince him even more strongly.

"(Now you can eat in peace,)" Fairon said with a faint smile.

"(Yes, Your Majesty.)"

Aurdis was finally able to enjoy her meal. The hunger that had been suppressed by anxiety and fear had vanished when hearing Fairon's approval.

Faenith smiled looking at Aurdis who was eating heartily. However, there is still something stuck in her heart.

She looked at Fairon. Her husband was still eating with a smile that had not yet left his face. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

Faenith presses her lips together. She had a feeling Fairon was excited about something else.

He was showing a sly-looking smile. No one would recognize that smile but her. Because the smile was very thin and almost no different from his usual smile.

However, Faenith had been with him long enough to know and feel it.

Was he really happy because he had agreed to help the Elves in the kingdom and end the feud?

Faenith wasn't sure. But whatever her husband said was an absolute decision. At least for now he would fulfill Aurdis' request to help them.

So, Faenith was also happy because of that.

Suddenly, the amulet that Aurdis was wearing gave off a silvery glow.

Aurdis immediately stopped eating and frowned.

"(This is a call from Saeldir,)" Aurdis said.

Aurdis' feelings that had been happiness suddenly turned into anxiety again.

Saeldir who she couldn't contact during the journey suddenly contacted her.

But, Aurdis decided to shake off those negative feelings.

"(We'd love to hear it too if you don't mind,)" Fairon said.

"(Ah, of course, Your Majesty.)"

Aurdis arranged for Saeldir's voice to be heard by both of them as well.

"(Aurdis, have you arrived at Dawnwood yet?)" Saeldir's voice sounded panicked and breathless.

That made Aurdis' heart sink. Fairon and Faenith stopped their meal and paid attention to Saeldir's voice.

"(I've arrived at the Forest Elf's palace. Is something wrong?)" Aurdis asked.

"(There's a disaster at the palace, Aurdis. When you're done negotiating with them, ask King Fairon to send his troops here now!)"

Saeldir's words made Aurdis, Fairon, and Faenith frown.

"(What disaster?)"

Saeldir did not immediately answer. It was only about three seconds later that he replied. As if indicating that he was having a hard time there.

"(A Dark Elf turned the Elves in our palace into Undead! Now Aerchon is also fighting Laston! Our situation is dire, Aurdis!)"

Hearing that, Aurdis couldn't help to let out a gasp. She was silent because she was too shocked.

But amidst the confusion, Fairon stood up from her chair.

"(I will prepare the troops,)" he said while walking towards the door.
