Chapter 99 Treiya Nordoc

Treiya POV

"Damn it, listen to me for a minute" I constantly kept begging but it looked like none of them wanted to at least hear what I had to say.

"Listen? Haha~ we won't fall for your tricks, you want to use your vile curse magic on us as soon as we stop moving, you're 100 years early to deceive me," With those words, she tried to slash and cut my arm but, I was lucky enough to avoid it without getting injured.

"I'm at a disadvantage, I can't fight this many people at once, I'm sorry I died without helping you, Ressha," My heart was sinking in despair.

Even if these elves tried to kill me, I had no grudge against any of them simply because I was the foolish one in this incident. I was foolish enough to think that these elves would listen to me when my race just massacred their people. I was foolish enough to think that I was powerful enough to escape if something went wrong. Yes, I'm a fool.

*Sob

"I'm sorry, Ressha," Never in my life have I cried this much or felt this hopeless, I always had someone behind me supporting me, so at this moment, I felt this overwhelming loneliness which is just an unpleasant feeling.

"Elves, listen," I tried to talk one last time before fighting for real and trying to escape but I knew it was futile, as I noticed archers aiming at me from trees.

They were waiting for a clear shot without their comrades blocking the vision. Even if I managed to escape close-range attacks sooner or later, I will get shot by them.

"I'm sorry for what my race did to you, but I'm not with them," Even when I'm talking, no one looked like they were willing to listen to my words.

*Clang

I blocked the sword which aimed to take my neck, but I felt some cuts below my left abdomen muscle which felt painful, I just bit my lips to avoid being pathetic and crying.

"Listen to me, *Sob," Soon I forgot that was supposed to be a strong and reliable leader as I started to cry in fear.

"I don't want to die, I don't my friends to die, please help me,"

I was ready to even kneel before them for their help, but suddenly I heard a strange voice calling out to me. Suddenly, every elf stopped attacking me which surprised me for a minute but as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the most beautiful thing I encountered in my entire life.

"Fairy," Unkown to myself, I muttered those words looking at the face of the person in front of me.

(A/N:- Fairy here has a similar meaning to Angel when used to explain something which looked extremely beautiful)

"What?" Panicked, she(he) started to look around but soon he realised, I was talking about him as he just started to scratch his head.

"Nikol, this dark elf,"

"Yeah, she looks different,"

I thought about disturbing them and begging for my life, but I felt that these people would listen to my plea, even if I didn't get on my knees.

"Please don't kill me, listen to me," Still I couldn't stay like a statue, as I wanted to finish this as soon as possible.

"What? I don't really want to talk with a dark elf but I will at least listen to you since you look different from others, by the way, if you're trying to use curse magic on me and take me by surprise, I will let you know it is useless,"

I really liked his tough attitude which reminded me of my mother and Ressha. I didn't know how to start my story so I decided to start with an introduction.

"My name is Treiya," He looked confused when he heard my words.

*Sigh

"I don't care about your name, just tell me why you wanted to talk with elves," It looked like I misunderstood him, but now only I realised he genuinely hates me. He's not like my mother at all.

"I'm not on these cursed dark elves' side, I'm a normal dark elf,"

As soon as he heard my words, his hatred-filled face vanished and it was replaced with a confused look.

"What do you mean?"

"Just like I said, I'm not serving Eldora, my master is the real queen Ressha,"

I abandoned my cowardly self and decided to be brave for a change and reveal everything. I said how I encountered them. Unlike what I expected these people were rather sensible as they considered my words without straight-up calling me a liar.

"So you were spying on cursed dark elves and when you see us attacking them, you wanted to contact us and ask for help," The mature and motherly-looking woman in front of me questioned, as I nodded my head rather furiously.

"Does that mean there are two factions in dark elves?"

"No, there was only one faction but-" I paused for a minute and looked at everyone. They had excited looks on their faces listening to my story.

"Eldora started a rebellion against our queen, at first nobody was on her side but with the goddess's disappearance and declining of our birth rate, everyone started to turn their beliefs to whatever Eldora promoted resulting in the current dark elves being cursed," I shared the full story with them without any hesitation.

"Do you know where this cursed magic originated from?"

To their question, I had no answer as I didn't know anything about cursed magic, except one day Eldora suddenly appeared with it and challenged Ressha to a scared duel and used this underhanded method to defeat her.

With the three main duchess influences, most of the people in the kingdom turned against Ressha, as she couldn't increase the birth rate of our race.

Since our numbers are less than humans and our life expectancy is equal to humans, we were on the verge of extinction but after Eldora came with some dark elves kid which looked like dolls, everyone started to follow her.

"It got even more complicated now," The fairy-looking person in front of me muttered as he went into deep thought.

"So where's this Ressha now?"

"She is-" I remembered the original reason I wanted to meet other races. It was to ask for help from them to rescue Ressha. Without her guidance, I honestly had no idea what to do anymore so that was the only choice I had.

"Eldora captured her and I don't know what happened after that, she forced me to leave the queendom," I wanted to cry just imagining that day, I felt tears leaking out of my eyes making everyone in front of me a little uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry for crying, I can't," While I was crying, the person in front of me gave me a piece of clothing to wipe my face.

"Thank you,"

All of them looked at each other like they were talking silently. I heard them whispering to each other making me a little anxious.

"Can you prove to us that everything you said is true?" They questioned me.

I didn't feel offended or anything by their attitude, instead I felt rather confident knowing they are not fools to accept information without confirming them in the first place.

"I can, I have the royal seal," I happily gave them Ressha's official seal. Normally it is a forbidden item to touch but now it wasn't time to consider such things.

"And how's that supposed to convince us?"

I felt confused hearing their question for a minute.

"How? I mean this is our dark elf royal seal, so-" I didn't know what was happening until everything processed inside my mind.

"Ah!" I quickly took back the seal with an embarrassed look.

*Stare

Everyone was looking at me like, I was the biggest fool in this room and I couldn't even argue with them as I started to question my brain.

"Can this girl even support us?" I heard their whispering. My face was red from how stupid I felt.

"I can, please give me a chance, I can support you, I will show you all the locations you need, please don't abandon me," My only choice was to beg. I don't know how else to prove it as the only thing I had with me to prove my point didn't even serve its purpose.

"We can take her to Nym until then you're prohibited from going anywhere alone or touching anyone, we will take you to our kingdom and we can see whether you're lying or not,"

With no options remaining, I just nodded my head agreeing with them.

"Take me anywhere, I'm telling the truth, I'm not afraid,"

We discussed about much other stuff before they tied my hands using something like a rope which is made out of veins.

"Ressha, I will rescue you with their help for sure this time, unlike other people, I won't abandon you, just like I promised," Reneweing my motivation, I waited until they packed their weapons and other stuff to leave. It took them a good amount of time to do that but at last, we left the camp to go back to their kingdom.
