Chapter 1125: Chapter 1118: Orders Change from Morning to Evening

With the escort of the Elven Cavalry, everyone finally felt much more at ease. Although some still felt uneasy, since Princess Nina was also aware of Luo’er’s whereabouts, there certainly wouldn’t be a problem.

Under the escort of the Elven Cavalry, the group traveled day and night and finally arrived at Divine Wood Town once again.

Just reaching the outskirts of the town, the group saw the welcoming procession, led by the priest of Divine Wood Town, that gentle man. Another was Luo’er’s mother, Princess Nina from Ilanadale.

The moment they saw Nina, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as they knew that with Nina present, no matter what, they wouldn’t have a terrible time.

The carriage stopped in front of the welcoming party, and Luo’er, serving as the Captain, dismounted and approached the priest and Nina.

Seeing Luo’er approach, the priest bowed slightly and said with a slightly apologetic tone, "I’m very sorry. Due to our mistake, we misunderstood the Oracle and regarded you all as enemies. Hereby, on behalf of Ilanadale and Her Majesty, I offer my apologies to Lord Luo’er."

"So this was all a misunderstanding?" Luo’er asked, squinting his eyes.

He knew well there wasn’t any misunderstanding; it must have been Tana compelled by Xia Yue’s demands, left with no other choice. Unexpectedly, these Wood Elves didn’t even see the problem with such a rapid reversal.

According to Xia Yue, Tana had already been stripped of the task of guiding Elves, so it was likely that Tana had no chance to continue guiding the Elves anymore.

Moreover, she was both a god of the Elf Race and the Besson of the Ancient States, the Goddess of Light in the Church Court. With the stripping of her powers, it’s probable that Tana would also lose the rulership of these religions indirectly.

But Luo’er still didn’t know how Xia Yue had dealt with Tana, what her current status was after all? If her powers were stripped, who would take her place? Xia Yue had already made it clear that she intended to take over the Elf Planet Project.

"Yes, I’m truly sorry," the priest said, lowering his head guiltily.

Nina stared at the priest disapprovingly, but when she looked at Luo’er, a gentle smile immediately appeared in her eyes.

She stepped forward, walked up to Luo’er, and looked at him quietly. Luo’er had returned home unharmed, and finally, Nina’s constant worry these past days could be eased; she had not had it easy.

"Ni, Princess Ni..." In public, Luo’er didn’t know how to address Nina, tried as per the norm, but no matter what, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

"What did you call me?" Nina asked, squinting her eyes, slightly angered.

"Mom..." Faced with Nina’s insistence, Luo’er glanced at the priest and called out softly.

"Hehehe," hearing Luo’er’s call, Nina turned anger into joy, stepped forward to embrace Luo’er’s arm, and said with a smiling face, "No matter when, you must call me Mom. It’s impolite to call your mother by her name."

"I was worried about misunderstandings..." Luo’er said, lowering his head like a shy child.

"Who dares to misunderstand," Nina looked around at everyone coldly and said, "Luo’er is my son, and everyone must understand this."

Faced with Nina’s assertive attitude, none of the Wood Elves present dared to utter a word; they could only bow their heads in silence. Clearly, since the last incident, Nina had decided to be unapologetically open about herself, openly acknowledging her relationship with Luo’er.

"Mom, perhaps mind the influence a bit..." Luo’er, not as bold as Nina, said, pulling at the sleeve of her dress.

"You’ve come from far, so stay a few days. I’ve been unable to sleep or eat well these days, always hoping for your safe return," Nina said, holding Luo’er’s hand.

"This..." Luo’er hesitated, looking down.

"Unwilling?" Nina asked, frowning.

"Oh, no, of course that’s fine," Luo’er nodded lightly but seemed hesitant to speak.

They had previously informed headquarters that the Airboat would take a few more days to arrive, so staying a few days in Divine Wood Town indeed posed no issue.

"That’s more like a good child!" Nina, regardless of the public gaze, revealed a loving smile as she tousled Luo’er’s hair. In her eyes, Luo’er never seemed to grow up, always that frail and quiet child.

"Well then, Mom, let me introduce you," Luo’er said, pulling Nina to the carriage front, then had Tangmo bring Xia Yue down from the carriage.

The moment Nina saw Xia Yue, she was first shocked, and then, looking at Luo’er with a complex expression, she sighed and said, "Luo’er, your mother doesn’t mind you finding girls, but you can’t be with a child..."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Luo’er, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry, introduced her, "This is Lady Xia Yue, our guest."

"Is she a Wood Elf?" Nina asked curiously, furrowing her brow as she scrutinized her.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Princess Nina." Xia Yue said with a light smile and a slight nod.

"How do you know my name?" Nina asked.

"I know not only your name, but I also know about the matters between you and your husband," Xia Yue said.

"Luo’er, how could you casually speak of such matters?" Nina turned to Luo’er, asking in a mixture of shame and anger.

"Ah, it’s not like that, mom, listen to me..." Luo’er frantically explained.

"Princess Nina, please don’t blame Luo’er, he didn’t tell me these things. I extracted them from your son’s memories myself," Xia Yue said with a smile, "By the way, in your son’s heart, what he has always cared about is..."

"Lady Xia Yue..." Luo’er quickly tried to stop Xia Yue from saying more.

"Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude on your family matters." Xia Yue said, covering her mouth.

"Luo’er, what exactly is going on?" Nina looked at Luo’er and asked.

"Mom..." Luo’er took Nina aside and then asked in a low voice, "Do you believe what I’m about to tell you?"

"Of course I do, you are my son," Nina said as a matter of fact, tenderly wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Well, what I am going to say might sound incredible, but it is absolutely true, so please stay calm, mom," Luo’er said earnestly.

"Alright, go ahead," Nina said, growing serious as she saw Luo’er’s solemn attitude. She nodded gently.

"Mom," Luo’er held Nina’s hand tightly and after hesitating for a moment, he continued, "That child, the one called Xia Yue, her real name is Xiapei Kam."

"Xiapei..." Nina blinked, suddenly realizing, and couldn’t help exclaiming, "A Night Elf’s..."

Before she could finish, Luo’er covered her mouth. She grabbed Luo’er’s hand, took a deep breath, moved it away, and then stared at him with widened eyes and asked in a lowered voice, "Are you saying she is Xiapei Kam, from Xia Yue Island?"

"Yes, mom, calm down, and let’s not let others know about this, especially the priests and the queen," Luo’er cautioned seriously.

"How did you bring her to Ilanadale?" Nina asked, frowning.

"It’s a long story, I will explain it to you later. In any case, mom, she means no harm. You don’t have to worry about her," Luo’er reassured her, holding her hand.

Nina looked at her son with a complex expression. Although she had much to say, she merely sighed the moment she began to speak.

Seeing her condition, Luo’er continued to comfort her, "Mom, don’t worry, I would never do anything to harm the Elf Race. I am an elf, and my mom is an elf, so you should trust me."

Nina took a deep breath, cradled his face in her hands, and said with a somewhat shaken expression, "Mom trusts you, as long as you are clear about what you are doing. Mom will always trust you unconditionally, no matter when or where."

"Thank you, mom," Luo’er said, moved.

"In the future, no matter what happens, you won’t leave your mom behind, right?" Nina asked anxiously, clutching his hand.

"Yes, you are my mom. A son born into this world should prioritize filial piety. No matter what happens in the future, I will never abandon mom," Luo’er replied resolutely.

"I don’t understand much about filial piety," Nina said with a bitter smile, "If I were just an ordinary Wood Elf, I’d just want to live peacefully with my family, not like now, where we can only meet occasionally."
