After the battle, shouts, cheers, and elven songs of joy and delight filled the outpost. Thanks to the Empress, who uses her charisma to keep her men from collapsing. Ciela and Asmodeus helped stop a catastrophe from happening.
The scent of sweet ale, honey mead and savoury herb-filled bread filled the halls, along with their jolly banter.
"To think that little princess is all grown up now~ how time flies."
"Stop speaking like a fool, Erunda..."
"Ah~ my muse, Arinea, don't be so angry; look, your forehead is wrinkled."
Erunda, a tall elf with a rare, stocky, muscular build, is one of the two main guardians of the Empress, the child of an elf and a beastkin. His physique allowed him to remain in the elven empire despite being so large.
