Natan nodded his head looking at the waiter who placed the teacup on the table made from tree roots. Then after the maid retreated away, she looked at Aniela opposite her. "I don't know if you've found out from the letter, but I'll say it. Ainsle— Uhuk ... Her Majesty Queen Ainsley Camelia asked me to take you all out of this place."
Aniela smiled faintly when she heard Natan repeat her call to Ainsley, then she was stunned when she heard the intention of Natan coming here. He could not help it, and asked curiously, "This place?"
Natan observes Aniela's expression company, and she understands that Aniela is still unaware of where this place is. "This place, do you think it's weird?"
Aniela shook her head, but soon her expression changed again, her facial muscles stiffened after noticing something. "Yes... Just then the light shone brightly, for only a few seconds, then disappeared. At first we thought it was an attack, but it turned out that there was nothing, but after many years had passed when we wanted to trade, we did not find a human city ..."
"It's so weird, we keep combing the river, but there's a snake monster. So we looked for another direction, but after all, there was nothing but across the river where the Hob-Goblin Race was."
After Aniela said this, she suddenly trembled, she hugged her own body looking terrified.
Natan nodded, then went back to asking, "Do you know Dungeon?"
Aniela pondered, she had no idea what Natan was asking this for. But he still nodded, only, before actually nodding, he suddenly stopped with his eyes wide open.
Seeing Aniela's expression, Natan nodded her head. "Yes, as you guessed. You guys are in the Dungeon ..."
Natan raised her hand holding back Aniela who wanted to cut her off. "Before, this Dungeon was just an ordinary Dungeon, but because of Ainsley's help, this Dungeon changed and there you are in it. I don't know why, maybe you were in a foreign place before, and he purposely moved you here to be safer, and then asked me to come and get you out."
Aniela was speechless with shock that could not be hidden.
Same with the others in this room.
Natan opened her mouth wanting to say something else, but suddenly a message came in. He saw it, it was a message from his beloved mother that was very important to him, he opened it, it turned out that an additional letter that seemed to have just been written.
He took out a letter, caught a glimpse of it, then handed it to Aniela without opening it. "He left me another letter, I don't know what's written there."
Aniela regained her senses upon seeing the letter. He accepted it, but did not open it straight away, but rather set his breath first.
When she regained her composure, Aniela opened the letter, and read it. Although he had tried to remain calm, but his expression could not lie.
A few minutes later, Aniela closed the letter, but she still looked empty, as if the news she got was very heavy.
Nathan did not ask. So did the other Elves who were around, even though they were tense, but no one dared to make a sound.
Aniela took a deep breath, then said, "This letter, saying that our world has long been destroyed. But Grandma used her power to hold us somewhere else, then kept it in the Dungeon for about nine months according to the outside world, and it has been nine years here. Then, with his strength, we are connected to the Dungeon in your territory."
Natan fell silent. Nine months? It should have been the first day on which World Destruction began.
"So, do you want to go with us? But we have to get Hob-Goblin out of this place clean."
Hearing that, Aniela paused for a moment, then replied, "Can Grandpa give me some time? I have to ask Mom this."
Natan gave a small nod, inviting Aniela to leave.
Aniela stood up and walked out of the room with all the bodyguards including the minister, leaving only a few servants to serve Natan, Ayumi and Erina.
Erina jumped down from the seat that was too high, walking towards the table. He stretched out his hand, then took out a snack made from dried fruits.
Sensing the taste, he nodded his head many times with sparkling eyes. "It's delicious!"
Ayumi followed Erina when she heard it, and started eating all the snacks on the table.
Natan shook her head with a faint smile as she looked at her sisters. "You two are so sweet, so different when you kill a monster. I feel guilty for teaching you to kill" he murmured in a whisper.
Natan leaned against the back of the chair, closed her eyes and imagined when she had a daughter later. Perhaps, it would be a lot of fun, but he hoped to have a son in order to become his successor later.
Whatever he was given, he didn't care.
Footsteps sounded rushed from behind him. Natan looked back, looking at Aniela who was following two Elves, one of them a man, and the other a beautiful woman, very much like Ainsley.
If it wasn't for Appraisal, maybe Natan would have thought of that Elf as Ainsley.
"Are you the husband of Mom?"
Natan raised next to his brows, not expecting the Queen of the Second Elf Race to directly ask that.
He coughed a few times, and changed the subject. "You should've known our business came here from your daughter. So, how's the decision?"
Annaya smiled faintly at Natan who ignored her question, but she was not angry. "I've seen the letter, and it's indeed a letter from Mom. Because Mother asked for it, we will follow you out of here. Anyway, I miss Mom."
Natan nodded, she was still observing Annaya. It was very pretty, graceful like Ainsley, but Annaya looked softer, unlike Ainsley who did not know the rules.
Natan saw the male Elf beside Annaya, and it should have been the King. But it seemed like the Elf King did not hold supreme power here, only the Queen was in power, perhaps this was because the first leader was a woman, therefore only the Queen actually led and had the final say.
...
They began discussing the plan to eliminate Hob-Goblins on the 28th Floor in order to get out of this place. These plans have to be really mature, they've got to make small simulations to see if the plans they've made really have an impact.
Natan found this all troublesome, but she did not interrupt, and chose to remain silent.
He also searched for information, and found that King Hob-Goblin was almost Level 700, slightly stronger than Annaya, the Queen of the Second Elf Race.
...***...
—The Next Day—
More than half of the Elves were brought in to attack Camp Hob-Goblin. They want to attack and end it all.
Natan had already placed the skeleton at some point in the Elf Region just in case the Hob-Goblin came sneaking around. As for the Giant Knight, he would take it out if the fight was hard to win.
"Are you guys scared?" Natan rubbed the heads of Ayumi and Erina.
Both of them looked up, shaking their heads.
"No, Ayu wasn't afraid because there was a big brother guarding us."
"Erina too."
Natan smiled warmly, and again rubbed the heads of the two gently affectionately. "But you have to be careful, there may be enemies sneaking in later. However, Big Brother will make sure you guys stay safe."
Annaya coughed, attracting Natan's attention. "Are you seriously handing over the leadership of the army to me?"
Natan massaged his forehead, he was completely helpless. Already many times he said do not call him with the designation “Kakek” or “Ayah”, but this mother and child do not care at all.
"Yes ..." Nathan nodded small. "They are your army, surely you must lead."
Annaya opened her mouth, but upon seeing the wave of Natan's hand, she closed it again and swallowed her words.
