Chapter 129: Mixed Race (1)

Due to its rapid release, various speculations circulated among readers, but they embraced the fact that good things sometimes come sooner and eagerly anticipated what story awaited them this time.

And so, Xenon’s Biography Volume 12 unfolded as a wholesome and touching story that consoled the hearts of readers who were deeply shocked by Kair’s death.

Initially, the story depicted the current state of Alisha, the Elven Queen, who was worn out and devastated after Kair’s passing. Despite several months having passed since Kair’s death, Alisha’s condition did not seem to improve in any way.

Not only was she unable to fulfill her duties properly, but she also occasionally shed tears and lamented. Her mental state revealed her grieving self, causing great distress in the hearts of the readers.

Perhaps this tragedy between Kair and Alisha would be reenacted in the lives of Xenon and Mary, raising concerns among readers. However, as if to mock such expectations, the scene where Mary confesses her feelings to Xenon happened, washing away all those worries.

But that wasn’t all.

A wise saying emerged, seemingly supporting those who struggled with the inherent limitations of inter-species love, resolving all their worries. It was as if the author was cheering on those who carried such burdens.

[I don’t want to live a life full of regrets. Maybe it will be a fleeting moment for me, but I want to live a life of longing rather than regret. To be able to reminisce about that time without suffering from painful memories. I want to fill a part of my life with you, Xenon, with your existence.]

The embarrassing confession that Mary, the female lead of Xenon’s Biography and an elven sorceress, had brought Xenon from a dark place. A sincere confession that had been deeply hidden in her heart.

Until now, they had indirectly expressed their feelings for each other but had not directly revealed them. Like many men and women, it was because they lacked courage.

However, witnessing the tragic saga of Kair and Alicia with their own eyes gave Mary the strength to solidify her feelings. To prevent such a tragedy from being repeated in her own life.

Instead of living with regrets in the distant future, she mustered up a great amount of courage to live while longing for the person she loved.

[How many people can muster up such courage? And what kind of life do those who have actually experienced such things live?]

[A small encouragement from Xenon to those who hesitate. This encouragement will have a significant impact on the hesitant men and women.]

[A beautiful yet melancholic, and highly realistic story. Made possible by being a part of Xenon’s Biography, it is a warm confession.]

In the case of another couple of different races, Jin and Lily, there were no issues as they had confirmed their feelings for each other before meeting Xenon.

Thanks to Lily, Jin was able to escape from a miserable life, and he could focus solely on her.

The love between Jin and Lily, which was so natural, was rediscovered, leading to a surge in popularity for demons and paving the way for what is commonly referred to as a “rise to fame.”

Lily accepted Jin, who could become a devil at any time, and Jin, for her sake, suppressed his inner darkness and dedicated himself to her. It’s a romance that can’t help but catch your attention.

Certainly, readers were unaware that even this was a setting made by Isaac without thinking much, but the character interpretation was so well done that even Isaac nodded in approval.

As a result of this incident, the perception of demons, which was already improving, improved even further. Especially the keyword ‘sincerity’ fit perfectly with demons, creating tremendous synergy.

For demons, confessing with courage means a pure sincerity, without even a trace of ulterior intentions. Recently, there have been more and more cases of demons entering into relationships, which fueled this phenomenon.

[Since the release of Volume 12, the number of humans confessing to elves has increased rapidly. Most cases end in failure, but news of successful confessions are frequently heard.]

[Furthermore, there have been frequent cases of elves confessing to humans. In these cases, the majority of them are successful, unlike the previous scenario.]

And this applies not only to demons but also to elves. Love between elves and humans may seem like a story that can only exist in novels, but not everyone is like that.

Although they are chosen by the gods, elves are ultimately little more than humans, mortal beings who experience joy and sorrow.

While there is a common perception that elves are arrogant, they are as sincere as demons, especially when it comes to ‘love.’

[Elves are known for devoting themselves to a single partner for a lifetime. However, what kind of feelings arise when they choose a human as their companion?]

[Is filling the remaining years with longing truly happiness for the sake of a hundred years of happiness?]

However, as critics pointed out, love between elves and humans is not easy, as it came with a harsh reality. There is clearly a difference in lifespan, and nothing is eternal in this world.

However, just as love can transcend borders, love that transcends races always emerges. As numerous news stories poured out like rushing water, shocking confessions began to appear one after another.

[There are already children born between elves and humans... They live perfectly fine in Alvenheim.]

[There is nothing different about hybrids in terms of appearance compared to elves. If anything, their ears are slightly shorter.]

[Elves living in human society instead of Alvenheim hide their ears through magic, just like Mary in the tale of Zenon, to prevent social upheaval.]

It was the appearance of the half-bloods, a being born between elves and humans, which was incredibly rare.

‘Mendel would burst into tears if he heard this.’

Mendel’s Law and the like are the genetics of inter-breeding races, constantly discussed and chewed upon. I’m not sure if only elves do this or if there are individual variations among humans, but I can guarantee that it cannot be understood through the genetics of my past life.

However, that’s not the important issue. Currently, Alvenheim is in an uproar over the treatment of half-elves. As I mentioned before, half-elves have quietly integrated into Alvenheim and many individuals with a talent from genetics, among other things, have risen to high positions. Even the rumors of a half-elf being the Warrior’s Commander became rampant, causing social turmoil.

You might ask, “So what?” But in this era, “pure blood” holds great significance. You don’t have to look far, just look at how Adelia’s family treats her.

Of course, half-elves are a slightly different case. However, there are still those in Alvenheim who hold supremacist views like the Elder Council, and there are differences between the new generation and the old generation.

But what if this division extends to pure-blood and mixed-blood factions? As Alvenheim, it would be more than just a headache—it would be like it being split in two.

In a way, it could be seen as a very natural social phenomenon, but it appeared too suddenly.

‘Isn’t a ban on sales going a bit too far?’

To make matters worse, in the climax of the twelfth volume, Alvenheim was said to be invaded. Alvenheim, the homeland and sanctuary of the elves, was under attack by devils.

In the end, if the story unfolds like this,, the situation will reach the point where Alvenheim will issue a declaration banning sales. It has caused social chaos, so there is ample justification.

However, as can be seen from its long and extensive history, this is also a natural occurrence and one of the hardships that must be faced someday. Soon, I will also write about the Dark Elves, and I wonder if they will be in a hurry to hide that too.

‘It feels somewhat like China.’

Because of this, I was reminded of China, which was notorious for its cultural censorship. However, the difference is that China involved its citizens in the censorship, while Alvenheim did not.

Perhaps even now, there may be strong opposition within Alvenheim. I felt a little sorry for fueling the conflict between the older and younger generations.

‘What if I write in Xenon’s Biography about the issue of half-blood children? Will that lead to a MeToo movement?’

Considering that events like the Jairos Revolution have taken place, it is not an entirely impossible story. I can ignite the spark, and the instigators can add fuel to the fire.

However, this issue needs to be handled carefully as it could engulf the entire country in flames. Although the Ters royal family, who have torn Adelia’s heart apart, are despicable, I should not act solely based on emotions.

‘The issue of illegitimate children... should be included in the sequel.’

I am referring to the sequel of Xenon’s Biography, not the one about World War II. By expanding the universe and diligently reconciling the settings to avoid conflicts, it can be achieved.

As I glanced at the newspapers pouring out breaking news due to Volume 12, I suddenly looked away.

‘Come to think of it, is Arwen doing okay?’

******

Just what could be okay.

“Your Majesty! Are you just going to stay still even after seeing the current situation?! Please take a look at the state affairs!”

“Alvenheim is being attacked, even if it’s just a fictional story, it’s something that should never happen. How can you calmly observe the activities of the half-breeds in Alvenheim?”

“We must quickly drive out those filthy mongrels. Otherwise, the existence of our chosen Elven race, blessed by the gods, may be in jeopardy!”

“... ...”

As if the Council of Elders wasn’t already enough to drive her mad, Arwen looked at the begging elders in front of her with indifference. Previously, she had only thought of them as old-fashioned bastards, but today, things had changed.

‘Disgusting old bastards.’

Disgust had been added. And one more thing.

‘I am a half-blood too, you bastards.’

She clearly realized that all the rotten ones from Alvenheim were present in the Council of Elders.

Translators note:

The big reveal from Arwen!

To the person who wrote “I Became The Academy’s Narrow-Eyes”, I chuckled.
