The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 45 [The Queen of Elves & Raven Plans ]

It happened suddenly. News of the death that came along with the body of the Elf queen before.

The sky is full of clouds. In front of the royal family tomb, there were several people with shoulder expressions. Amethyst cried silently while hugging her mother's grave. Citrine, the young elf was crying in her brother's arms. While Aqua and Turquoise did not cry, it did not mean that they were not sad. They just hold it.

It has not been long since the celebration of the coronation of the new queen was filled with happiness. The kingdom quickly fell in mourning over the loss of their former queen. The sky seemed sad for them. The rain fell shortly afterwards, forcing the elves to take shelter inside the palace.

The Elf Queen, the higher-ups and the Princess held a meeting together in the meeting room. In conditions still sad, circumstances forced them to remain firm and immediately make a decision.

With puffy eyes, Amethyst opened tightly.

"It seems like the war situation is not very good. Not just the mother, there are many casualties..."

"Your Majesty! You don't have to force yourself. Let us explain the situation!" exclaim the higher-ups.

"No! It's my duty. Just let me!"

Despite the messy circumstances, Amethyst still forced himself to preside over the meeting as Queen Vittacelar.

"I don't know the details, it looks like there's a traitor among our troops who's giving information to the enemy. And the bad thing is, it is not yet known who the traitor is. Because of the reenactment of the traitor, there are many casualties and our situation is very bad now. But the main cause of the situation worsening is..."

The queen took a moment. He put on a bitter face.

".... because the troops lost 2 important figures. Your first grandmother, Agate Stella El Vittacelar. Then..."

"Who's the other one, mom?" ask Citrine seriously.

"The previous queen was indeed powerful, but why would just from her death be able to greatly affect the troops?" confused Aqua.

Amethyst realized Aqua's confused expression.

"You don't know yet, Aqua. Your grandmother was... Other than she was a member of the hero party, what do you think she was?"

"?"

"I changed the question. What do you think he joined the hero party?"

".... Priest?"

"really. Mother is a Priest who is very good at healing magic. In the war, he was also the one who led the healing squad. Plus.. before becoming the Elf Queen, precisely while still a princess. Mothers... Agate Stella El Vittacelar was the previous Saintess of the Sacred Continent."

"Saintess earlier?!!" startled Aqua.

Amethyst, Citrine and Turquoise nodded confirming.

"So the saintess is not only from humans, yes. But I didn't think the Elves would be a saintess, considering they're a loner race."

< Saintess >

Some may be no stranger to this title. Saintess was the one chosen by the Goddess Athena as the intermediary between herself and the world. Saintess has a very pure heart because it houses the basic nature of the Goddess. Moreover, Saintess' ability in light magic was the best after the angels.

"I continue! One another, no, or perhaps he is the cause of the great collapse of our forces. The strongest Arc-Angel of all five, Arc-Angel Michael."

"!!!!!!!!!!"

"Arc-Angel said mother??!!" shocked Turquoise.

"How could an Arc-Angel lose to an army of dark gods?!"

"Really! Isn't the power of the Arc-Angel in a different dimension?!!" shocked Citrine.

Aqua was surprised not because of Michael's defeat, but because of something else.

"*In the game, one of the Arc-Angel is indeed lost and that is the cause of the war is not balanced. But... What's missing is Michael?"

"Why.... why am I so angry when I hear that the missing Michael*?!!"

"I told you, I don't know the details. In essence, it looks like the troops were framed and with Michael's sacrifice, they were able to survive. But that's why Michael disappeared until now. No one knows if he's alive or not."

The atmosphere of the meeting began to tighten.

"The explanation is enough to get there. In exchange for the loss of many major powers, many high-level people were drawn into the war right now. Alesta and I are going to the battlefield!" exciting Amethyst.

"Wait a minute, mom! Then what about the Vittacelar Kingdom?!" citrine Jerrits.

"While the supreme power will be in the hands of Turquoise and Citrine, my son. But the higher-ups have the right to oppose because of your experience. That's all!"

"Your Majesty, isn't this a meeting? But you only say your opinion and do not listen to the opinions of others!!" refute the higher-ups.

"Is this a situation that can be changed that easily?! If we lose this war, the world will be destroyed. Of course I love the Vittacelar Kingdom. But if the world is destroyed, do you think this Kingdom can still exist?!"

No one answered. Everyone is busy in their own minds. They did not want the Queen to leave the Kingdom, but they also did not want the kingdom destroyed because the queen did not join the war. What a contradictory mind.

"Ha~ahh! I didn't go to die. I went to win. I'm just leaving the kingdom for a while. The good thing about the disappearance of Arc-Angel Michael was that it made the morale of the angels and the other troops increase. If this continues, we can win in 1 or 2 years."

"Your Majesty..."

Everyone who was there fell into the same thought. They will protect the Vittacelar Kingdom until the Queen returns from battle and brings victory.

There were no more conflicts in the meeting. Because the situation is messy, whatever is done will not have a big effect. It is better to let the situation proceed as it flows and work together to maintain this almost broken peace.

The meeting results have come out. The Queen will go to the battlefield in place of the previous Queen. Prince Turquoise and Princess Citrine will carry out the Queen's duties with the help of the higher ups. Aqua will carry out the duties of the prince.

Without having time to grieve any longer, the Queen immediately departed the next day. The Elves paid their respects and prayers at the Queen's departure.

"Your Majesty and the teacher are gone." murmured Aqua in front of the entrance gate of the Vittacelar Kingdom.

Lix snorted at him. The boy hit Aqua's back quite hard.

PLAAAKKK

"What the hell?!!!" angry Aqua.

"The melancholy atmosphere doesn't match your image!" said flat.

"Huhh?!"

"Stop being so moody. Just do what you have to do!" said relaxed.

Aqua was a little silent hearing it.

"Pfftt... what the fuck? You comforting me?"

"No!" quickly answer.

"Yahh.thank you. Let's go back home! There's something to talk about now. Something Raven has to do!"

"Ohoo!"

Aqua and Lix return to their tree house. Yue, Elvira and Elvina were already waiting anxiously. But as soon as they saw the glowing look from Aqua's eyes, they realized that worrying about her was useless.

"Everything! Let's gather! Now we have to discuss Raven's next plan."

"Good!"

The five Raven members gathered in the living room and discussed the details of Raven's plans for the next two years. Some of the information Aqua released to help the plan go astounded the other members. They were wondering where Aqua knew about all that.

"...... That's all! All right, plans start tomorrow. Sister Vira and Vina! You guys go to the Levana Empire! Set up an information-seeking organization that moves under Raven. Do not care about anything else, just develop it until there is no information that you can not get! While creating it, complete the other missions as well."

"Good!"

"Raven will be officially formed in 2 years. I want when that happens, Raven already has a power that makes her undeniable. Then Lix and Yue! I have a separate mission for you guys. ½ years away, go to the walking city of Sayyar. In half a year, you will be able to see the city near Aranyu City. There was an unknown craftsman named Artigiano. Ask him to make a magic mask and earrings according to this design totaling 7!"

Aqua handed me a sketch of the earrings and some captions.

"Now he may not be famous. But in another ±2 years, his items will be very hard to come by and sell expensively. Before that happens, we have to get it first. I don't expect much more than that. But if he can, he's contracted to work for Raven for 5 years."

"This is all a mandatory mission. Whatever happens, never fail to solve it. Do you understand?"

"We understand, leader!!!!"
