The Author's POV

Chapter 426

On the same day, in a remote location in Issanor.

With tall trees covering the sky, the only light that came was from the sun above, which had to pass through the many leaves above, creating a yellow net of light.

Walking up ahead, and leading Amanda inside of the forest was an elegant elven male.

With a simple smile on his face, he pointed towards a certain direction and said.

"This way please."

Amanda gave a simple nod in response.

At the moment, Amanda had many questions she wanted to ask inside her mind.

Recalling everything that happened to her not too long ago, everything felt like a blur to her. She was just minding her business in her room, reading a book that she enjoyed when out of nowhere, the elf before her came to knock on her door saying that someone important wanted to meet with her.

She was a bit apprehensive about the whole situation but seeing how insistent he was being, she had no choice but to go.

Of course, she did give a heads up to Donna and Monica about her current situation. But apparently, they knew beforehand, dispelling all of her worries.

"We're here."

Stopping in front of a large ancient tree, the elven male placed his hand on the tree. It was at that moment that a green light exuded from his hand, and the ground trembled.

Rumble—

Following the low rumble, much to the shock of Amanda, the tree started growing in an upward manner.

This persisted for a couple of seconds before it finally stopped, revealing a small door.

Taking a step to the side, the elf opened the door and gestured for her to go in.

"Please."

Nodding her head, Amanda slowly walked in.

Upon entering the place, Amanda suddenly heard the sound of the door closing behind her.

Clank—

Turning around, she realized that the elf was no longer there and that she was the only person present.

Wariness instantly flashed across her face, but just as she was about to walk back to the door, a gentle voice entered her ears.

"Don't worry, we mean no harm."

Upon hearing her voice, Amanda's head snapped in the direction of where the voice came from, and when she did her eyes opened wide.

With long silver hair gently cascading down her back, and an otherworldly face that made anyone wonder whether she was a mortal or a goddess, stood a familiar figure.

A figure that Amanda had seen many times in the past.

She was none other than the elven queen.

Immediately upon realizing this, Amanda lowered her head and politely greeted her.

"I, Amanda Stern, greet the queen."

The queen smiled at Amanda's action as she raised her hand.
