"Your Highness, you've been confined for a year again. What are you going to do?" Under the Tree of Life, Firis was looking at Irina with a concerned expression.
Snarr was also standing off to the side with a concerned look on his face. He didn't think that the princess would be so decisive as to kill Schubert right after learning that he was involved in that incident. However, this should be enough to intimidate all of the people involved in that incident.
"Isn't confinement a common occurrence? What's there to worry about? I was also confined when I left The Wind Forest. If I want to leave, who can stop me? " Irina said with a nonchalant expression. She pinched Firis' nose with a smile, and said, "You don't have to worry about that, Firis. You don't have enough brains anyway."
Firis looked at Irina, and her mouth gaped open, only to find that she had no response to that. She had also been involved in the incident when Irina had left The Wind Forest. Even though she was only responsible for keeping a lookout, one thing was for sure; after receiving the protection of the Tree of Life, no one would be able to stop the princess from leaving the Wind Forest.
Irina turned to Snarr, and said, "Snarr, I have a few things for you."
Snarr lowered his head in a respectful manner, and said, "Your Highness, please give me your instructions."
"I'll have to trouble you to find Alex and my daughter. According to Alex's personality, there's no way that he would stay in Rodu or the Roth Empire after what happened. It's most likely that he's gone to the Demon Islands, Dragon Island, or Chaos City. We've been to those three places many times, so we're quite familiar with them. I'll write down a few locations for you to search; perhaps you'll find something. "Also, I'll write you a few letters for you to deliver to some of my friends so that they can provide you with some assistance. However, after what happened to Josh, I'm not sure if some of them are trustworthy, so it's best not to tell them about Alex," Irina said.
"I'll be sure to keep this a secret." Snarr nodded with a serious expression.
Irina nodded. After a brief moment of contemplation, she said, "After Schubert's death, Rodu will definitely receive news of it very quickly, and you'll be on their hit list. Hence, before this matter is resolved, don't set foot in the Roth Empire again. Also, from the moment you leave The Wind Forest, you have to conceal your whereabouts. There are most likely people in our race who won't let you off the hook."
"Alright, I'm best at tracking and hiding." Snarr nodded in a confident manner. After a brief hesitation, he turned to Irina, and asked, "Your Highness, aside from avenging Master Alex and Young Mistress, you killed Schubert today to get His Majesty to abolish slavery in the elven law. Are you trying to abolish the family system?"
"But the family system is already deeply rooted in the elven race. If we want to abolish it, we will have to become enemies with all the other families …" Phyllis was slightly shocked when she heard this, and she looked at Irina.
"That's right, I want to abolish the family system and return freedom to all elves." Irina nodded with a grim expression as she said, "So what if it's deeply rooted? We can just uproot it altogether. Freedom is the soul of all elves, and Helena and those so-called families are destroying the souls of all elves. As such, resistance like today will only continue to increase. Becoming enemies with all of the other families isn't scary as there will be more ordinary elves standing on my side. What I need now is time. A year of confinement is just right."
Phyllis and Snarr's eyes both lit up upon hearing this.
"Alright, you two can go now. I'll give you the letter tomorrow." Irina nodded with a hint of exhaustion in her eyes.
Snarr and Phyllis nodded before departing from the cave.
Irina sat under the tree and looked up. The branches of the Tree of Life parted, and the cold moonlight shone down upon her through the hole in the ceiling. A bright moon just so happened to appear above the hole.
"Alex, Milady, where are you two? When will I be able to see you again? "Irina murmured to herself, and the only response she could hear was the gentle swaying of the Tree of Life's branches.
…
"Amy, do you want to eat the moon?" Meg asked with a smile as he looked at Amy.
"Mm-hmm, I think the moon is round and white, and it looks really delicious. I really want to take a bite." Amy nodded with anticipation in her eyes, and she even swallowed her saliva as she spoke.
A smile appeared on Meg's face. As expected, this little glutton would always think of food whenever she saw something.
However, he had also had similar thoughts when he was a child, so he had always looked forward to the annual mid-autumn festival as he was able to eat delicious mooncakes during the festival.
At the time, he had naively believed that mooncakes really were made from the moon, and that was why they were so delicious. A large mooncake had been cut into small triangular pieces, and each piece was extremely precious.
"It's not easy to pick the moon, but if you want to eat it, I'll try my best to make it into mooncakes for you, alright?" Meg looked at Amy with a smile.
"Mooncakes made from the moon? That's great! That's great! I want to eat mooncakes made from the moon! Then when can Xiao Mi eat it? " Amy's eyes lit up as she clapped her little hands with elation. Ugly Duckling was squeezed out of shape in her arms as she looked at Meg with anticipation in her eyes.
Meg shook his head, and said, "You'll have to wait for another two or three days. The moon isn't at its roundest yet, so it's not the best time to pick it. Wait until it's as round as a white jade plate, then pick it and make it into mooncakes for you to share with your friends. Mooncakes like that are the most delicious."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then it must be super delicious." Amy nodded with a thoughtful expression before turning to Meg with a curious expression, and asking, "Father, why do you know how to make mooncakes?"
"Because in my father's hometown, there's a festival called the 'Mid-Autumn Festival' every year at this time. Every year, relatives and friends will gather together, share delicious mooncakes, and admire the moon together. It's a day of reunion." Meg explained with a smile. Even though he had quickly accepted this world, he still couldn't help but think of his parents during the mid-autumn festival. He reminisced about his childhood memories of eating mooncakes in his mother's arms under an osmanthus tree, and he still felt a sense of nostalgia.
