prisoner of time

Before Befiles could react, the Elven King had already shot the case: "Father! He is playing with us like this! He is deliberately putting us in an unbearable situation and watching us self-destruct step by step. If we promise him this time, we will We are about to fulfill the agreement, but He has changed the content of the reward even more outrageously, what should we do in the future? Have you been pampering Him like this?"

Achille shook his head: "I confirmed with that voice, and he confirmed that this is the content of the final remuneration he asked for, and it will not be changed. If it is changed again, it will be deemed that he has breached the contract and the transaction will be void. But if we do not perform Agreed to pay, as before, he will pay double the punishment."

"Why such a strange request..." the Elf King murmured, "He hopes to use this to help us improve the status of the dark elves?"

In the elf king's subconscious mind, "that voice" should still be broad-minded and not think about his own existence, so he didn't think that this strange request would be to satisfy his own desire.

Achille shook his head, looked at his son, and said solemnly: "No matter what he is thinking, we cannot refuse his request."

Not only did he hear that voice in his dream last night, but he also saw an extremely terrifying scene at the end of the dream—a huge, towering, iron-black giant tree that quickly withered from its roots, and then collapsed.The sky became pitch black, and the world became dark, cold, and lifeless. All the elves, regardless of light or darkness, were howling, and then passed away one by one in pain... The whole world fell into the doomsday and was destroyed.

Archle wasn't sure what the scene in the dream meant, he just took it as a warning from "that voice".Warn them not to overstep their bounds and to follow His instructions.At this moment, he even felt that even if that voice violated the contract again and made new demands, they would have nothing to do but comply. After all, this is a world where power comes first.

He looked at his grandson, waved his hand, and asked softly, "Bei Fei, what do you think?"

I want to go back and ask Fanain what he thinks.

"My thoughts are not important." Befilus shook his head, trying to act nonchalantly, "but getting married is not a big deal."

Achille nodded: "I remember you quite like your dark elf. And this result is much better than asking you to meet the owner of that voice."

Achille and the Elf King finally decided to follow the voice's instructions, after all, they had no other choice.But news of Befleur's nuptials was not announced so quickly.

Unexpectedly, that voice came to Achille's dream to urge him almost every day, pretending to be a ghost, and always using the terrifying end-of-the-world scene as a warning.

Befiles couldn't stand it anymore, and went home to complain to Fanain: "Can you stop scaring my grandfather? They have agreed to the marriage, but there must be time to prepare? My grandfather is so old, even if His psychological quality and physical quality are much stronger than ordinary old elves, and he can't stand such a toss."

As punishment, Fanain was kicked out of the bedroom that night.

Unable to sleep with his lover in his arms, Fana felt even worse because of the long night. He felt more and more lonely and bored, but he didn't dare to urge Achille anymore.

So that night, the Elven King had a dream. In the dream was a scene of the end of the world that was far more detailed and terrifying than what Achille had described in the past. Accompanied by a deep and empty voice: "Remember your promise..."

The Elf King arranged everything within three days after he woke up.

He held a grand press conference and told the public that he and the former elf king Achille received an oracle from the mother tree at the same time. Let them combine to bring a better and more prosperous future for the elves.Therefore, the royal family decided to arrange for His Royal Highness Befiles to be formally engaged to the dark elf Vanain one month later, and they will be married in the next year.

This statement caused an uproar in the society, but to everyone's surprise, the illusion of a huge tree of life appeared at the press conference, which happened to correspond to the content of the "oracle" that the Elf King said, making people Those objections had to be silenced for the time being.

However, the fact that the future elf king wants to marry a dark elf still has a great impact on the society ruled by the existing light elves. The light elves power nobles formed an opposition alliance, intending to prevent this matter, and even tried to use this matter to shake the royal family rule.

But even without the elf king's action to suppress them, these opponents will soon have some bizarre accidents, large and small, making their opposition impossible to continue.At first people could regard it as a coincidence, but there were too many coincidences, and in the end they had to believe what the Elf King said, that those who opposed were punished because they disobeyed the will of the mother tree and the oracle.

In the end, no one dared to object to the matter, and Befiles and Fanain were successfully married in the spring of the following year.

From the beginning to the end, Fanain acted like a handsome but gentle and docile man who completely relied on Befiles, who was lucky enough to marry the prince who had been secretly in love with him, and was transformed from a slave to a princess. .In public, he has always been obedient to Befilus, and his eyes always follow the figure of his highness.

Countless boys and girls looked at this lucky slave princess and sighed, lamenting his good luck as being favored by God, and felt that he was just like the real version of Cinderella.

No one knows that this lucky guy who seems to be favored by God has the power of a god, or even higher than a god, so he can use the world as a threat, turn the impossible into possible, cut off all opposition voices, Under the envy and blessings of the world, marry the one you love openly and aboveboard.

No one knew how this seemingly powerless and harmless dark elf "bullyed" their Prince Highness behind the scenes.

Ten years after Befelles and Vanain got married, the Elf King announced his abdication, and Befelles became the new Elf King logically, and Vanain also became the first dark elf queen in the history of the dynasty.

Due to the status obtained by Fanain, and the way the dark elves mastered power spread among the dark elves after the rebels disappeared, the elf society has changed subtly in the past ten years.The dark elves set off a series of affirmative rights movements, gradually got rid of their status as slaves, began to fight for various equal rights, and entered many fields such as academia, politics, and art, and made achievements.

After Befiles ascended the throne, the people are most concerned about his heirs.

When the Elf King came to the throne, he already had the eldest brother of Befeles who died young as the heir, and there were more than one illegitimate son, and there were not a few lovers of various names, so the people were not worried that their king would have no heir.

But Befilus and his queen have been married for ten years, from the prince to the elf king, but they have never left a single heir.Unlike ordinary people, he really has the throne to inherit.

In fact, Befiles had long tried to conceive offspring for Fanaine, but there was no way to succeed.

In the end Vannaine told Befilus that the problem should lie with him.He said that although he knew that he was born from the tree of time and gradually grew up, he could also feel that he did not really belong here. He was an existence higher than this world, so it was impossible to stay in the form of this world. The next generation will belong to this world.

As for why he didn't tell Befiles earlier, Fanain told his partner frankly and naturally that he just liked to see him work hard to give birth to his offspring and silently endure some of his unreasonable demands, so At first I was reluctant to tell the truth.

Befilles didn't care if the two of them could really have offspring, he just felt that Fanayin's hobbies were too unorthodox!

Befiles has been in power for 200 years and has never had any heirs. Instead, he gradually promoted the reform of the political system in the spiritual world, reduced and restrained the autocratic power of the monarch, and promoted political democratization and social rule of law.By the time he abdicated, the Elf King had become a sociopolitical symbol with little real power.He selected a child of light and dark elf hybrid from the clan and designated him as his heir.

Due to his great contribution to promoting social progress, Befiles has been respected and loved by the people even after he abdicated.He lived in seclusion with Vanain in a mountain manor, and spent another 20 years of leisurely retirement.

It wasn't until the second day after his death that the attendants who usually came to the manor to clean and buy found that His Majesty had left.His queen lay beside him holding his hand, smiling, and left this world with him.

The entire elf world held a grand mourning ceremony for His Majesty Befilus and his queen, with the utmost honor.

What has always puzzled future generations is that on the night of Befiles' death, all the clocks in his manor were fixed at the time of his death and stopped moving.
