"Th...the Elven King? Me?"
John was stunned for a few seconds before he couldn't help but let out a few bitter laughs.
He could certainly understand Elowen's thoughts. After all, his relationship with Elaria was no longer a secret. But for a human like him to become the Elven King, it still felt a bit strange.
"Well, you two brothers go ahead and complete your mission. I'll go ahead with your queen."
"Yes, Elven King!"
Under the watchful eyes of Perkins and Palmer, John took Elaria's hand and walked past the checkpoint, prompting a look of envy from Perkins.
"Master John and the queen really are a match made in heaven..."
"Indeed, Master John is so capable, handsome, and most importantly, powerful. It's really enviable. But to be honest, I always thought only someone like Elowen would have a chance to win the queen's heart."
"Elowen? He's too young, isn't he? How could the queen like a kid?"
