Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee TranslationsThe villagers of Soran Village, who lived in the most barren land, knew the feeling of being hungry. Now, they were grateful for the king’s sacrifice and gift.
Estelle took the ghee tea from the old village chief and took a sip.
It was too sweet.
The villagers of Soran Village loved sweet things.
Estelle didn’t like the overly sweet tea, but he didn’t show it. Without changing his expression, he continued to drink.
The old village chief rambled on for a long time and he even guessed the reason for the king’s late-night visit.
He looked up at the king’s handsome face and said in understanding, “I don’t have much time left. King, are you here to send me off?” The old village chief could sense that his vitality was rapidly depleting. Recently, he had been panting with every step.
Estelle nodded and told him, “I’m here to send the village chief off.”
The village chief was relieved.
The night Estelle’s mother passed away, he, who was so young, had no choice but to endure his grief and turn his beloved mother into a guardian bell. The old village chief smiled and said, “Your Majesty, after I die, you can also turn me into a guardian bell. Plant me at the border of our Dark Night World to protect your world forever.”
Estelle shook his head and said, “There’s no need. I’ll protect my own world.” After a pause, he put down his teacup and stared at the ghee tea at the bottom of the cup as he said, “The current me is powerful enough to protect everything I want to protect. Village Chief, I promise that the guardian bell will never appear in the Dark Night Great World again.”
Tears streamed down the old village chief’s face.
“King, it’s been hard on you.” Only the old village chief knew what kind of torment the little child had been through in order to make his mother, who loved him the most, into a guardian bell when he was seven years old.
The old village chief held onto the sofa as he stood up. Then, he knelt on the ground solemnly. “King.”
Seeing this, Estelle extended his right hand towards him.
The old village chief held Estelle’s right hand gently with both hands. He first kissed the back of Estelle’s hand, then pressed his forehead against it. The old man choked on his tears as he said piously, “My soul is weak and old, but it will always be loyal to the king. May you remain blissful and fearless forever.”
Estelle stared at the old man quietly for a long time before nodding. “As you wish.”
Only then did the old village chief sit up again.
He panted a few times before saying to Estelle curiously, “I thought that even until I died, I wouldn’t be able to see the king with my own eyes. King, why haven’t you come back to see me and the villagers of Soran Village all these years?”
He thought that Estelle refused to see them because he had no choice.
However, the old village chief never expected Estelle to say, “Because I haven’t found a wife more beautiful than the wife of the neighboring village’s Carson.”
Estelle had never forgotten his promise to the village chief when he was young.
The old village chief was speechless.
What?
It was because of this?
The old village chief was caught between laughter and tears.
He hurriedly explained, “Your Majesty, this is really a huge misunderstanding. Back then, I just said so to motivate you. Why did you take it so seriously?”
But Estelle said, “A man never goes back on his word.”
The old village chief was speechless.
How stubborn!
At the mention of this, the distance between the old village chief and Estelle faded a little. He teased Estelle boldly, “Since you haven’t found a wife you’re satisfied with, why did you suddenly think of coming to see me tonight?”
Estelle was silent for a moment before saying, “Ever since Mom passed away, you took care of us three siblings the most. You’re a benevolent person, so I have to send you off.” The old village chief was unmarried and had no children, so Estelle planned to send him off as his ‘child’.
The old village chief was speechless.
After a long while, the old village chief lamented, “King, you will definitely be happy forever and meet your true love.”
After saying this, the old village chief felt extremely tired. He leaned against the armchair and let out a long sigh as he said, “King, I’m a little tired. Please allow me to sleep for a while…” With that, he closed his eyes and his breathing gradually slowed down.
In the end, it was completely quiet.
Estelle got up and knelt beside him. “Rest in peace,” he whispered.
The old village chief was the most respected person in Soran Village and had taken good care of Estelle, so he was very famous among the Night Elves. Many mourners came to his funeral. Donor rushed to Estelle’s side immediately to accompany him during the funeral..
