Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Noble Elf Queen VS “Protagonist’s Aura” Girl (Part 13) Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Noble Elf Queen VS “Protagonist’s Aura” Girl (Part 13) “Ailuner?” A worried call brought him back to his senses.
Ailuner looked up and realized that the elves around him had left without him knowing, leaving only the Queen watching him.
He quickly flashed a shy smile, “I was just lost in thought.”
Gu Shengyin smiled knowingly, “The child has grown up, he has his own concerns now.”
The Elf Race had held a grand celebration for the Queen’s awakening, even Bemis from the far north in the Valley of Dragons had sent emissaries to offer congratulations.
Everything was fine, except that Ailuner was a slight worry for Gu Shengyin.
The child was about to co of age, why was he still so dependent on her?
Every morning, as Gu Shengyin awoke, the first thing the Chief Maid reported was, “His Highness is waiting to have breakfast with you.”
Ailuner was by her side almost every day, except when he rested at night.
He was talented, having mastered all the natural magic within the Elf Race and no longer needed to learn alongside the Elders, so he had plenty of ti to cling to her.
Every ti Gu Shengyin hinted helplessly that he should interact more with their people, Ailuner would look at her with a particularly heart-wrenching gaze, silently, forcing her to back down.
What was even more exasperating was that Ailuner was extrely well-liked within the Elf Race; even the Chief Maid privately told Gu Shengyin, “His Highness’s reaction is normal. You are his Guardian, but fell into an unknown slumber during your closest tis with him. His Highness has harbored untold sorrow and fear over the years. Now that you are awake, his clinging to you is to be expected.”
Gu Shengyin felt, too, that the child must be feeling insecure, needing to see her every day to feel at peace.
That day, she sat upon the lofty Elf Throne, with Ailuner beside her playing the harp.
Speaking of the harp, one cannot help but praise Ailuner’s talent once again. His gift was not only evident in magic but also in arts like music and painting, which also amazed Gu Shengyin.
Such an elf was truly the favorite child of the Goddess of Nature.
The better he was, the more Gu Shengyin felt for the Ailuner from the original plot. She firmly decided in her heart that once Ailuner ca of age, she would teach him so life skills, determined not to let him be bewitched by that human girl Xi Lili again—such a wonderful Ailuner should not end so tragically.
“Ailuner,” she suddenly spoke.
The lodious music stopped, and Ailuner looked at her with a smile, “My Queen.”
“What gift would you like for your coming-of-age celebration in a few days?”
Ailuner tilted his head, seemingly deep in thought.
From Gu Shengyin’s angle, she could see his half delicate and radiant profile, flawless, truly nature’s most perfect creation.
After pondering for a while, Ailuner shook his head and looked earnestly at Gu Shengyin, “Ailuner had hoped to make a wish to the Goddess of Nature at his coming-of-age ceremony, hoping Her Majesty the Queen would awaken sooner. Now that you have awakened, being able to accompany you every day is already the perfect life for Ailuner.”
“Ailuner has no other wishes.”
Actually, there were, but such wishes were too unconventional, and Ailuner dared not voice them.
He feared that if the Queen knew of such a selfish desire, she would despise him.
