"Lady Ariana, the Rabbit-kin State wants an alliance with us. They are offerin-"
"Reject them."
Before the subordinate could even complete his report, Ariana passed the decision.
The subordinates along with the rest of the elves present in the meeting stared at her in confusion.
"They are at War with another Beastmen State and they are losing.
They have already used all their resources; they do not have anything meaningful to offer.
They want an alliance to use our name to scare off their enemy. If it was an allegiance, I would have considered it, but as long as they are using the world alliance, we have nothing to gain here.
Not to mention we already have enough alliances with stronger forces, if we form alliances with anyone that comes to us, others will take advantage of it."
"..."
The Hall turned silent.
No one had any words to refute what the princess just said.
They were all surprised when the princess first came to the Hall together with the Queen, however, since she just sat next to her mother, after a while, no one paid her any heed.
However, as years passed by and as the Queen started leaning towards the princess, listen to her thoughts and correcting her whenever she was wrong, the elders realized
it.
The Queen was preparing to pass her throne to the Princess.
It was a good news, especially when the Kingdom was stable. Yes, there were other candidates for the throne as well, but... who could be better than the daughter of the current Queen and the Elven Hero?
Ariana's potential was the strongest. Her position as the next heir was so strong and supported that other heirs and their factions didn't even try resisting, they believed it was better to simply support her and gain some benefits later than standing against her and fighting a losing battle.
However, being strong and being able to lead a Kingdom were two entirely different. things.
So even though everyone supported Ariana to be the next Queen, they all still believed it would take time.
After all, their Queen was still young.
They had no reason to rush things when they had all the time in the world to cultivate a proper heir, especially right now, when almost no one could cultivate on their own. It was the best time to learn all these things without being distracted.
So for the next few centuries, elders believed that the Queen and the Princess would continue to appear together more often.
However,
Their expressions changed when the Queen stopped appearing.
It started with her missing a few meetings every now and then and the Princess taking the lead during her absence.
Soon, however, an announcement was made.
The Queen was going into secluded cultivation and all the authority was going to be passed down to the Princess.
The Queen stopped coming altogether.
The elders were surprised, they were nervous since a child was practically taking over their entire Kingdom, they had second thoughts regarding the Queen's decision, however, the Princess quickly proved herself.
Dissolving all their doubts as she continued to lead effortlessly, just like her mother would.
Yes, Ariana Frostwillow was a perfect heir. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Taking decisions with extreme precision and securing the future of the Elven Kingdom for the next few thousand years.
"Are there any other matters that need my attention?"
"N-No, Princess."
The subordinate reported.
The Elven Kingdom was already strong and combined with Nux strengthening their Core
by advancing all important individuals to the Saint Stage, their position in Yrniel was unshakable.
The only force stronger than the Elven Kingdom now was the Ancestral Order themselves.
Yes, there were some other hidden forces, the Black Order still existed, but right now, they were too busy taking care of their own matters than to involve themselves with
Yrniel.
Not to mention with the Progenitors all awake, they were all on alert.
One mistake and they would be annihilated, the Leaders of Black Order couldn't take that risk, they had to lay low.
Therefore, Elven Kingdom was currently seeing its most peaceful era, with most of the issues being solved themselves and Ariana simply had to read the report of how things
are progressing.
"Alright, then the meeting is concluded."
Saying those words, Ariana stood up.
The elders followed, standing up to show their respect to the next Queen.
Ariana nodded at them before she started walking out of the Hall, the rest followed only after she left.
"Look at you, walking with your head that high, aren't you afraid that you would fall?"
While the princess was walking towards her room, she heard a voice. In an instant, her neutral expression crumbled and a smile appeared on her face.
"You are back"
"Well, the Knight cannot stay away from the Queen for long, now can he?"
"Yes, no Knight is allowed to do that, especially you."
Ariana nodded.
Elijah chuckled.
"What did father say?"
Ariana questioned with a nervous look on her face.
"He agreed of course."
Elijah smiled.
"He agreed?" Ariana blinked in surprise.
"Why are you surprised? He is getting such a beautiful daughter in law in return, why
would he not agree?"
"Did he really not say anything...?"
Ariana questioned and after a momentary silence, Elijah told the truth,
"He rejected me first, just like Mother said, he wanted me to be the next King, but I
rejected him.
In the end, he could only agree to my demands, after all, I wouldn't listen to him even if
he didn't agree.
I have the mighty Elven Kingdom on my side."
