Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In-Chapter 541 - 316 Sublimation Path - Black Moon’s Light, Elf Empress’s New Governor - Luo Xi (6.4k)_3
Of course, simply asking would not suffice. As the Mother Tree’s agent, the Elf Emperor could definitely peek secretly. It’s said that many of the scandalous histories of the imperial family members from ten thousand years ago were the work of an Elf Emperor with quite peculiar tastes.
Nine thousand years ago, the Elf Emperor at the time, who was Kureya’s great-great-grandfather and quite lacking in many respects, was forced by many members of the Royal Court to make an oath before the Origin of the Mother Tree, which the Origin also acknowledged. Since then, all Elf Emperors were unable to see any places designated by the Royal Court members.
Kureya had originally thought this wouldn’t have much effect, but after she ascended the throne, she found out that most of the lands near the Mother Tree in the royal city belonged to the various noble families. Aside from her own domains, she couldn’t see anything in the territories of the other dukes and marquises.
Upon calculation, she couldn’t inspect at least eighty percent of those places.
At the foot of the imperial throne, she only had complete control over a measly twenty percent of the land.
How ridiculous.
Having experienced it herself, she felt somewhat sorry for her father, who had maintained his dignity for thousands of years.
She wondered how her father had managed to spend his days negotiating with those nobles of the Royal Court under such circumstances. Throughout the long history of the elf race, in order to maintain their own interests, the nobles, with their connections to the Origin of the Mother Tree, gradually caged the originally supreme position of the Elf Emperor.
Although it was only halfway through, Kureya had a premonition that if she followed the duke’s ways, she would eventually become a pig completely trapped in a cage.
This was also why she wanted to leverage her sister’s strength.
This situation had to change.
If possible, Kureya really wanted to slaughter everyone in the Royal Court for a thorough purge. But apart from whether the Mother Tree would approve of her actions, the dukes already had intricate connections. It was truly difficult to deal with them when united, and affairs of state could not be resolved with strength alone.
Kureya stood up and glanced at Lisiti, saying, "After tomorrow, you should move back here. I’ve kept your room for you, it’s still quite clean."
Lisiti was stunned for a moment. She grabbed the lock of hair resting on her shoulder, her expression revealing a hint of nostalgia.
Her old room, huh...
It had been over forty years since she had been there.
"Ying—"
A soft voice suddenly rang in Lisiti’s ear.
Lisiti’s eyes widened. It was a voice she hadn’t heard in a long time, that of the Mother Tree.
You’re finally paying attention to me again, aren’t you?
Immediately, a green, peculiar book surrounded by iridescent glows appeared beside Lisiti.
Lisiti reached out trembling, wanting to touch it.
But just as her fingers were about to make contact, the book suddenly disappeared into thin air, leaving a crestfallen Lisiti behind.
Indeed.
What right did she have to yearn for the Mother Tree’s attention again?
She was just a fool, after all.
Though she had no regrets, she ultimately failed to fulfill the Mother Tree’s trust.
"Sasha... I hope we’ll have the chance to meet again."

At the Black Moon Arena.
Lu Su, along with his subordinates, arrived at the lower level’s arena exit.
When he saw the human still on the stage, sitting as calmly as an old man fishing, he couldn’t understand it.
One who had offended the Black Moon’s rules yet remained here?
If it were those noble sons, perhaps, but you, a human, where did you get the nerve?
Just as Lu Su gestured, preparing to have his subordinates capture the trouble-making human for a thorough interrogation, a seductive voice rang from the box above.
"That human is quite interesting. Lu Su, hand him over to me. Consider it a favor you owe me."
The elves seated below suddenly darkened their faces.
Lu Su immediately wanted to turn hostile. Damn it, even like this you’re asking me to hand someone over, where does that leave my face?
Even if a duke’s daughter came today, it wouldn’t work!
A subordinate whispered to Lu Su, "My lord, that is Duke Christie’s legitimate daughter, Dannis Christie."
Lu Su: "..."
He said with a smile, "Princess Dannis, this human dared to offend the rules set by our Black Moon, and must pay the price. I don’t think Duke Christie would like to see you owing us a favor for a human, right?"
"Hmph."
Dannis Christie in the box snorted coldly and said nothing further.
She truly fancied Luo Xi’s handsome face.
It would have been nice to have him as a subordinate.
What a pity.
Lu Su dropped his smile and looked coldly at Luo Xi.
Why was this human so calm?
Did he have some backup plan in place?
Luo Xi stood up and looked at the approaching people. He asked Lien, "Is that power affecting you coming from him?"
Lien nodded.
Seeing that the other party was still ignoring him, Lu Su’s anger grew more intense. He waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to move in.
Just as Luo Xi was about to take out his ’Governor’ badge to give it a try, another girl’s voice from the box interrupted, crisp and clear like the pleasant sound of running water in an empty valley.
"Stop!"
"???"
Lu Su’s expression turned rigid.
Damn, which noble family’s daughter was this now?
If it had been shouted from below, he wouldn’t have even bothered to listen, but this command came from someone inside the box. Those who could enter the box were either nobles themselves or the children of great nobles. Although he had the support of the Black Moon behind him, if he really angered those great nobles, the Black Moon would not protect him steadfastly.
