Chapter 3 From Girl to Queen
Of course, saying it is like seeing it in person does not mean that it has actually seen it. It does not mean that what it is said is true. Although it has been verified and revised by this man who claims to be Dereo, there are still many exaggerated and unreal things in the poem.
This made Terion feel very embarrassed and embarrassed. Under the influence of such emotions, he deliberately ignored the excessive praise of "If there were no such prince, then Usuan would be destroyed", "He is the savior of the high elves", "Who deserves, born ruler" and "Wusuan's shining king".
Of course, the real and nameless regent didn't know that, in fact, before this, two years before the strange bard appeared, many strange rumors appeared in various parts of Ushu'an.
These rumors all pointed at the prince, praised him as having no place in heaven and nothing on earth, and he also called him as the savior and ruler of Usulan. At the same time, these rumors also ignored the true... or the eternal queen of this country, who should have been the true ruler, the high elves.
If these things just confuse the high elves, then some more explicit rumors will make the high elves feel alert: in these rumors, the high elves should choose Terion to become the new Phoenix King, rather than choose a young and useless little girl like Arrier.
Such rumors, coupled with the wrong rumors that had been circulating in Usuan for a long time, said that Terion and Arriel were partners, made many high-elf kingdoms wary. They began to wonder what Terion meant by saying this. Could it be that they were preparing to go further and usurp Usuan's throne?
Of course, in addition to this, there are many loyal supporters of Terion, who think that such a decision is correct. They also believe that Terion will indeed become a great ruler as rumored. He is indeed more suitable than Arriel.
However, this does not mean that they are willing to support Terion in a fierce and usurpable way to inherit the title of Phoenix King - in fact, if this is true, then he will definitely not be able to withstand the test of the Phoenix Holy Flame. They are more willing to support Terion - just as another long-standing rumor said, hoping that Terion can be linked with the Eternal Queen and gain the ruling power of this country in this way.
In this way, these rumors were half true and half false, and were widely circulated, and more and more elves knew. Those who knew these usually regarded it as a message sent by Terion. Those who expressed support and objection were openly and secretly, persuade Terion to be more cautious, or expressed willingness to provide him with various aspects of help, all kinds of temptations and contacts made the open and honest elf prince feel a little overwhelmed.
The real Tyreon said to the elves and to the elves who came to test: He did not have such intentions, nor did he intend to usurp the Phoenix King. At the same time, he did not want to marry Arriel. Although he was a vampire and dwarf, the development stage of the elves was obviously different from that of vampires. When he was in the first two hundred years old, the elves usually maintained their appearance at the age of ten to twelve. Only when he was in the age of two hundred years old would they further grow to the age of sixteen, and then they would be close to adulthood until they were eight hundred years old.
Now, the eternal queen of the high elf, Arriel is only 122 years old. From the outside, she is just a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. Perhaps a mentally distorted psychopath like Valed would be very interested in her, but it seems like a normal person like Terion... no, he is a normal elf but has no feelings for her at all.
However, it is a very unfortunate thing. This elf prince spent a lot of effort and energy on war, politics and diplomacy. He did not have much energy to consider his children's relationship. So there was no woman or girlfriend around him, so he naturally would not get married. This also indirectly confirmed the rumor that this guy is interested in Arrier...
This is the basic situation. Usuan, undercurrents under the calm surface. However, Terion, who was deeply trapped in it, was ignorant of it. The silver mask isolated the intriguing smile of the man who claimed to be Dreo. The seemingly undeliberate compliment made Terion not doubt him too much. In this way, Terion did not take this masked guy to heart at all. Instead, he felt that having such a person with Ariere would be better to relieve her boredom.
He stayed like this for a while, and then he was about to leave because of the busy things.
Before this, when Terion left, Arriel usually seemed disappointed and unhappy, and even tried to keep him. But this time, he didn't. He just asked a little reluctantly: "Are you leaving?" Then there was no following. This made Terion feel a little strange. However, the prince quickly regarded this as the Queen of Eternity and finally grew up and became sensible. He did not doubt it.
In this way, after being recognized by this real power figure, the man who claimed to be Dreo lived in the palace of the elves and moved as a palace musician.
The treatment for this position is pretty good. Of course, this is not what this man with a silver mask wants. In fact, even a sea of gold or other treasures is not as good as the time he spends about two hours with the Eternal Queen every day.
In fact, this time is growing as he spends time with Arrier. Even in the end, except for private time such as sleeping, Arrier is almost inseparable from the man who claims to be Dreo.
Before this, Arie, who was attracted by his musical talents and experiences, soon discovered this human with a moving voice, has many other advantages. He is humorous and cheerful. When he is with him, time always passes quickly.
At the same time, he is also a very smart and talented person. Some problems that Arriel is difficult to understand, and his teachers, those older high elf scholars, cannot make her understand. Usually, this person can explain it in just a few words.
Then there is a more important point. This man is very happy with her. Some simple games, origami skills, beautiful stories and very beautiful garlands that the young queen has never seen before can make Arrier feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
In this way, the man who claimed to be Dereo quickly gained Arie's trust, understanding and worship in a certain sense. These subtle and seem to be a series of coincidences, accidental and non-human factors, Arie was little by little influenced by this man.
At first it was just in music. The child began to change his tendency from soothing and peaceful music. She began to prefer deeper and more meaningful music. She drew wisdom from some thought-provoking words that Dereo usually said unconsciously, and also gained new ways of thinking, as well as some very important new ideas from the novel stories he told. In recent times, the maids and guards in the palace have clearly discovered that their queen seemed more mature, more elegant, and more shrewd...
It is hard to imagine that all this was done in four months. Some people were worried about it, but more people were happy to see it. Especially some of the older, conservative, who insisted on the ancient tradition of high elves and believed that Usuan should be ruled by a real king rather than an overbearing prince, all praised and praised it for it...
In this way, time entered midsummer. The tense war trend in the old world did not enter Usuan with the hyacinth. In this paradise of the high elves, joy and enjoyment were still the mainstream. After entering midsummer, there were more entertainment activities at night. According to convention, the Eternal Queen would hold a court dance. After that, the other high elves of Rothern would start their own dinner and dance parties.
Before this, the introverted and shy Arie was usually boycotting such activities. Although she wouldn't really get angry and not participate. However, it was common to lower her head and not talk at the dance. But this time it was completely different.
"Teacher, am I dressed beautifully like this?"
On the eve of a court dance that was about to begin, in Arriel's room, the Queen of Eternity lifted her skirt and turned around in the same place, and then asked the man next to him, wearing a black tuxedo and a silver mask.
It's not like ordinary girls of this age will wear cute style clothing, but more mature. High Elf adults usually like to wear white gold-lined dresses and ruby pendant dresses. This makes Arrier look a little older than his real age.
As for the name "teacher", there is another reason. At the beginning, it was also because of learning musical instruments. But it quickly changed into other aspects of knowledge and skills.
