Chapter 713: Chapter 713 - The Queen of Pride Watches
If one were to ask where in Yunatea technology advanced the most rapidly, where immense power converged, and where the ruler's authority was unrivaled and justice was enforced with unyielding precision, the answer would be clear:
The Central Continent, specifically the Kingdom of Calenvalis.
The throne room of the kingdom was a masterpiece of grandeur. Its polished white stone floor gleamed with intricate patterns, while towering pillars and walls shimmered with white and gold. Every detail radiated regal authority and unmatched luxury.
At the far end of the hall, seated upon the throne, was a woman of commanding presence. She wore a flowing gown of white silk, accented with simple yet elegant light gold armor that symbolized both grace and strength. Her long, silver hair cascaded down her back,
complementing her sharp, regal features.
This was no ordinary ruler. Her pointed ears marked her as an elf, but not just any elf. She was a High Elf, the mightiest among her kind-not only of High Elves but also of all elven races.
She was the Queen of Calenvalis, a figure renowned for her unmatched power, influence, and command.
She was a symbol of both fear and reverence, a paragon of authority whose reach extended far beyond the borders of her kingdom.@@@@
But her identity carried even more weight. She was the Ancestral Wielder of the Pride Champion, a title and legacy that marked her as the pinnacle of elven power and dominion.
"Your Majesty," a player clad in gleaming gold heavy armor knelt before the throne, his voice steady but reverent.
Two others followed his example, lowering themselves in deference.
The High Elf Queen tilted her chin slightly, her silver hair catching the ambient light, but offered no response.
"A great war is unfolding in the Dissidia Kingdom," the armored man continued, his gaze fixed on the floor. "Reports of the potential arrival of Named Demons have been confirmed."
Still, the queen remained silent, her expression serene yet unreadable.
"At first, there were four Named Demons, all ranked in the 50s," the man pressed on. "Then, a higher-ranked Named Demon appeared-ranking 36. The King of Dissidia fought this Named Demon."
Her silence persisted, and the player continued. "In short, the king's younger brother seems to be orchestrating yet another rebellion, this time with a far more brutal agenda. His plan appears to involve the Demon Bael."
The mention of the name broke the queen's stillness. Her lips parted slightly as she spoke in a calm tone, "Bael?"
"The defeated Bael dares to set his sights on Yunatea?" she murmured.
Broken struggled against Maylock's grip as they reached a relatively safe area.
"Broken! Listen to me!" Maylock snapped, his voice firm as he clamped both hands onto Broken's shoulders
"We need to do something!" Broken said. "Alora, Ivana, and the others—"
"Broken, listen to me!" Maylock interrupted.
"I still have one item I can use," Broken said back.
"I know, I know!" Maylock replied quickly, tightening his hold. "But there's something important you need to hear first. Just listen!"
"What's that?"
"Look, we all know we have to win this war. You know it, I know it-everyone knows it. And I'm taking the responsibility to say what needs to be said right now," Maylock stated firmly.
"Maylock, what are you saying?"
"Broken!" Maylock's sharp voice cut through. "This is about the quest you received a long
time ago."
"...The quest?"
"Yes," Maylock continued. "The quest you got after clearing the Trial Domain in Wildwood Forest. The one given to you by King Elandorr-the first Ancestral Wielder of the Sloth
Champion."
Broken fixed his gaze on Maylock, his expression tense. He had already explained many details to Elincia and Goldrich in the past, and the information had been passed along to Maylock as well. However, Broken hadn't delved deeply into the topic again-especially since Maylock hadn't logged in since the war at Deadbay City.
But the quest?
"This quest might be the key to changing the outcome of this war," Maylock said.
With trembling hands, Broken opened his list of ongoing quests and his eyes landed on one in
particular.
