Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter IV Chapter 144

After a long night of crying, Elysia fell asleep next to Alice. Wounded and sad when she saw her mother buried, Elysia was exhausted after crying for so long. Alice has also buried other victims.

Before Elysia fell asleep, she had time to tell about what had actually happened to her village and the land of the elves.

Based on Elysia's explanation, Alice concludes that she was around three hundred years ago, after the heroes defeated the demon lords who were trying to take control of Aria and exterminate mankind. The heroes had died but the remains of the combat soldiers of the demon lord were still spreading everywhere, especially the monsters they used, he said, the run hides into the forest and sometimes causes a lot of trouble for the surrounding villages.

Elysia also mentioned about the elf king Albion who was one of the four demon lords who went to war. But he was defeated by the heroes and died on his throne.

"Albion yes.I've read history about him, I think he is a distant relative of Helian."

The war in the land of the elves with the heroes sacrificed many innocent souls and what was even more detrimental to the elves was the destruction of the Yggdrasil tree.

Yggdrasil who was about to die lost a lot of his life energy and made the ecosystem in the elf land a little chaotic, also that was what caused the protective fog in the Lost Forest to weaken.

so that some powerful monsters or deemon races could infiltrate into the land of the elves.

"Auntie...." Call Elysia with a hoarse voice. He rubbed both of his eyes. "Auntie's not sleeping?" Elysia asked with an anxious look on her face.

A beautiful white face is radiant with pink chewy cheeks and wide eyes that are very charming and spoil the eyes. Coupled with her shiny silver hair, the beauty of Elysia later when she grows up can be seen clearly that she will be beautiful like a goddess from heaven.

But...

"Auntie..?" Alice asked spontaneously. Alice sighed and answered Elysia with an awkward smile. "I'm doing fine. How's yours?"

Alice noticed it a little late yesterday. He only came to his senses when he saw the long black hair that was scattered beside him due to the wind. As he pulled the hair, he immediately looked for a puddle of water to reflect. How surprised he was when he saw the mirror reflection with the face of Lan You Nian in front of his eyes.

A little nostalgic, that's how Alice feels.

"Thank you. Thanks to aunty's help I was able to bury my mother's body as well as the other villagers." Elysia smiled faintly. His eyes still left a streak of sadness the rest of the night.

"Thank God then." Reply Alice.

"Well, how else, with this look I couldn't dodge when she called me aunt. As Lan You Nian who had lived for almost five hundred years, at least that aunt's call sounded better." Alice's inner murmur. It's better than being called an old lady.

When they were silent for a moment, the sizable stomach voice of a little girl broke the silence between the two. Elysia's face turned red like a tomato. He was embarrassed holding his stomach.

Alice chuckles. "Wait here, I'll be out looking for something." He said and then he stood up.

Elysia quickly pulled up Alice's sleeves. Alice turned around and saw the little girl.

"I-I want to come too, okay?" Nervous speech.

Those wide, clear eyes with that sweet face and soft voice, how could Alice possibly refuse him. Alice smiled gently. "All right, let's go."

The fear of being alone might still be lingering in her heart, Elysia continued to stick while holding the tip of Alice's clothes. Their journey slowed down a bit but Alice did not think it was troublesome, instead she enjoyed it. Elysia reminded herself of Echidna.

When they got near the small lake, a small deer jumped from behind the bushes. The deer approached the lake for a drink, he seemed to be alone.

Alice gave Elysia a warning to be still and not move. In the blink of an eye, the deer died as the flying sword that Alice made from Qi energy struck her neck.

"Wooaah~" Elysia was amazed at Alice with sparkling eyes. "Great aunt." His words were accompanied by applause.

Alice smiled, then stood up and invited Elysia to approach the results of their hunt.

"Are you sure you're going to town? It's a long way from here, it took my mom and I two days to get there, and even then we've been on a horse-drawn carriage."

"It's okay. I have another way to get there fast."

Elysia pouted. "Alright, I hope your aunt can arrive safely. Be careful on the road." Said slowly. He looked down and tried to hide his disappointment.

In his little heart he wished that Alice could keep him company. Although only briefly they know each other, but Elysia feels comfortable when with Alice.

"At first we were just strangers, after all aunts would leave. Most aunty is an adventurer, sooner or later she'll definitely leave." Mumbled Elysia's thoughts.

"Hm? Don't you want to come with me?"

Elysia immediately raised her head to look at Alice.

"really? I didn't hear wrong, did I? Aunty really wants to take me away with her?" Elysia asked enthusiastically in her mind.

Looking at her gaze alone Alice already knew that Elysia wanted to come along, but she did not answer. Alice smiled cunningly. Just got right through his head. "Yes, if you don't want to come. Then, auntie go first." Alice turned around and immediately walked out of Elysia's house.

Elysia flinched, she wanted to pull Alice's arm but her hand reached for nothing, she was late.. He also ran out. Panicously looking to the left and to the right. His heart was broken when he saw no one around him.

"Auntie?! Didn't-don't..the aunt's gone..?" Elysia fell on her knees. Suddenly his feet went limp.

Again, he was alone again.

Even my aunt left me. Her thought.

"Hiks...." His eyes are starting to get wet. Little by little tears began to accumulate in the corner of his eyes, a moment later the tears began to flow down his cheeks.

"Hiks...Hicks..." Elysia.

He really doesn't want to be alone. She's afraid. What if the monsters come back? Or what if he's hungry and doesn't have anything to eat? Who will accompany him to sleep during the dark night? Surely his house will be cold in winter and snow will cover the road.

Other than her mother, the only comfortable place she was leaning in right now was Alice's aunt.

"Hiks.bibi..why aunt goes.." her voice gets hoarse.

"No really. How could I just leave you." Elysia turned around as she heard Alice's voice. He saw both of his legs continue upward until they looked at each other.

Alice smiled broadly revealing a bit of her teeth while waving her hand.

Elysia took a deep breath. He rubbed his eyes and nose. His heart almost came out from crying.

"Auntie!" call him. Then she hugged Alice.

Alice rubbed Elysia's head gently. He laughed softly. "I'm sorry. I was just kidding."

Elysia puffed her cheeks. He pouted and looked at Alice annoyedly. Then he drowned his face into Alice's stomach. "I forgive aunt. I'm glad aunt didn't leave me."

"That's it." Alice sighed hearing Elysia's words. "Then Elysia, let's go to town."

"Ms." Elysia nodded cheerfully
