Erend and Aurdis immediately rushed to the source of the shout.

The squad leaders who were around them also moved behind them.

Erend and Aurdis followed the shout through an old stone corridor overgrown with vines and moss.

Further back, the corridor becomes more humid and congested.

There are no ventilation holes for sunlight or air to enter, so everything becomes even more suffocating.

Aurdis' orb of light floated in front of them to illuminate the path. But Erend decided that they still had to walk slowly and not rush.

Although the urgency of this situation was indeed quite high.

Erend was still activating [Dragon Eyes] to detect any traps or other residual Magic that might be lingering around this corridor.

After walking for a while, suddenly the tight air vanished, replaced by a cool night breeze.

The wall not far in front of them had collapsed leaving a hole that opened onto a large courtyard.

The courtyard is at the back of the Temple which is not visible from the front.

There is a Forest Elf who seemed to be waiting for them. Most likely it was he who had shouted for them.

Callonor who recognized the Forest Elf as a member of his squad immediately approached him.

"(What did you find?)" Callonor asked.

"(I found corpses,)" the Forest Elf said.

"(Corpses?)" Callonor frowned then looked at Aurdis, Erend, and the other three squad leaders.

"(Show me,) Callonor said.

Erend and Aurdis also looked at each other with obvious question marks on their faces.

"Could it be... That blood..." Aurdis muttered.

"It's possible," Erend said. "But we can't jump to conclusions just yet. Let's examine the corpses."

The two of them caught up to follow the Forest Elves. Until they arrived at the place where the corpses were.

Their question mark just got bigger.

There are three bodies there. And all three are the corpses of three different creatures.

Dark Elf, Daemons of Calamity, and Ogres.

The three corpses were in a supine position looking up.

Their hands joined on their stomachs and they closed their eyes with a face that seemed to feel at peace.

Everyone present stared at the three corpses with confused and disturbing expressions.

"What the fuck is going on here?"

Erend's question represented their feelings.

They froze again for a few moments. As if to allow the sight in front of them to be absorbed better and they could think of a clearer answer.

But still, nothing has changed. The sight before them was just too bizarre and confusing to even think about now.

Dolthon suddenly moved to get closer and sniffed the Dark Elf's corpse.

"No poison scent," Dolthon said.

He immediately used communication Magic because Erend was here.

"What about the Magic that might be used to kill them?" Aurdis asked.

"The tracks were nowhere to be found either," Harnon said.

Then what happened?

This question has been ringing in their heads ever since.

The dark and silent night made the atmosphere even more strange.

They felt as if eyes were watching them from the shadows of the forest. From a place that the light from Aurdis' orb of light couldn't reach.

"How about we just take them back to the palace? That way, we can have a better look at them later," Gastion suggested.

Aurdis didn't answer right away. She thinks about it for a few seconds. But in the end, she came to the same conclusion.

"I agree. But we have to take precautions first," Aurdis said.

"What is it, Princess?" Dolthon asked.

"We have to put a seal on these three corpses. I'm afraid that this is all part of Laston's plan. He knew that we would bring these three corpses to the palace so he prepared something," Aurdis said.

"Hmm, that's right." Dolthon nodded in agreement.

After that, the four squad leaders and Aurdis cast a sealing Magic on these three corpses.

After finishing casting the sealing Magic, they carried the corpses of the Dark Elf, Ogre, and Daemon back to the palace with Magic.

The three corpses floated between Aurdis and the Forest Elf's group wrapped in brown cloth.

As soon as they returned to the palace, all the Elves were doing their cleaning.

With desperate and sad faces that were exacerbated by the dark night, the Elves in the palace collected the remains of their relatives scattered on the white paving of the palace.

Some of them wept uncontrollably, and some of them couldn't even move and just sat back watching the cleaning.

This situation made Aurdis unable to hold back her tears. If only she had come sooner. If only she could stop Laston sooner. If only...

Aurdis' thoughts continued to wander in uncertain directions. Thinking of the situations where she could have changed things if she had done something different in the past.

Unfortunately, no matter how great the Magic power of the Elves, manipulating time was still impossible for them at the moment.

Erend saw Aurdis who rubbed her tears roughly. But he didn't say anything.

"Come on, quickly!" Aurdis said to the Forest Elves.

They accelerated the pace of the Unicorn until they finally arrived in a quiet room behind the palace.

They put the three bodies in that room. After that Aurdis talked to the Forest Elves.

"Thank you all for your help. I'm grateful that you all are going to the trouble of helping me with this matter."

Aurdis even bowed toward them.

Erend himself only watched her from the side. He's trying to blend in with the background because it's none of his business.

In Erend's mind, Aurdis remained as usual. An Elf girl who is kind and knows how to behave. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

She even bowed even though she was a princess in a kingdom.

Erend knows where she got the education to be like that.

Her father and brother didn't look like the Elves who would do the same as Aurdis.

Then only one possibility remains, her mother.

"We're only carrying out King Fairon's orders, Princess,"

Dolthon said with a smile.

Dolthon gave an amulet from King Fairon to Aurdis. He said with the amulet, they could communicate again.

After that, the Forest Elves returned to Dawnwood.
