Blood Elf Monarch

Loud rumbling sounds resounded and yellowish dust rose in the air as seven figures were seen galloping through the Chaotic Plains along the treeline of the Evergreen Forest. This small group of four seemed to be in a rush as their horses sped through the terrain, ignoring the breathtaking view around them.

After a whole day of uninterrupted traveling with the horses from Caerleon, they finally arrived at where the place was and found the entrance.

A huge stone with elvish markings could be seen guarding the path into the forest.

"It's a half day journey along this path," said Agoon, the envoy who was currently under Tristan's Blood Seal influence.

The seven continued their ride for a few more hours until they finally reached their destination. The moment they arrived exactly at the outskirts of the Forlorn Kingdom, the group quickly came to a stop. At this time, the sky had begun to darken.

"The location is an hour away to the west." said Agoon when Tristan glanced at him.

Tristan nodded in satisfaction and turned to his other subordinates. "All right, Chieng. Do your magic."

"Yes, Master." replied Chieng as he quickly went into action.

In a matter of moments, the completely healthy space knight took out the 'Gremlin' drone and its control computer. Right away, the drone began to fly so fast that it reached high in the air within several seconds. Then, it disappeared into the distance.

After tinkering with the computer in his hand for a while, Chieng turned to Tristan and said, "We will have a total scan showing the entirety of the area in 10 minutes, Master."

"That's great. Good job."

Afterwards, Tristan took something out of his interspatial ring. It was the Arcadian knight's uniform that he took yesterday. He gave one set to Astrid and another to himself, as they quickly put them on.

Fortunately, there were two people who had the right size for both of them among the 5 knights dispatched to guard the envoy.

Naturally, after stripping the five knights bare of their possessions, Tristan temporarily left them locked up in Caerleon. He couldn't afford to throw a wrench to this plan, after all.

It was also for their own good, as this mission that Tristan was about to do - rescuing Serene under the nose of thousands of hostiles and escaping from their homebase - would certainly be considered as suicidal.

The only people sane enough to accompany him were the ones who were blood sealed by him. 

Returning his attention back to his current situation, Tristan quickly wore the breastplate which was then followed by the gloves and then the helmet. The latter was enough to cover his ears and long white hair, which was considered a plus in his book.

Next, Tristan handed over his newly acquired Tier 3 sword and shield to Astrid, and the dagger to Chieng. Those were the weapons that they were best suited with. So it was natural for him to give them those as they could utilize them much better than him.

Right after the drone finished its scanning, Chieng gave Tristan an earpiece.

Looking at the familiar yet foreign equipment, Tristan couldn't hold his mouth from commenting, "Finally, a top-of-the-line communication device."

This time, Tristan needed Chieng to stay in this position as the eyes of the operation. Through the drone that was still in the air, Chieng would gather information about things he should be wary of and communicate it through the earpiece. 

Making sure they were ready, Tristan got everyone gathered as he said. 

"Alright. This place will be our rendezvous point. If anything goes wrong during the mission, we will immediately fall back to this position."

Before leaving, Tristan once more confirms the plan with the three. 

Preparations were arranged, and now it was time for the execution. Three figures enter the Forlorn Kingdom, the envoy and his escort, two disguised Arcadian knights.

An hour later, Tristan and the others finally entered the capital of the Forlorn Kingdom, Forlorn City.

As his eyes looked around, Tristan noticed that the Forlorn elves seemed similar to their other counterpart, the Vanyar elves. The buildings and architecture in Forlorn City had the same ambience as Vanyar City, where exquisite style and design arts could be seen everywhere.

One of the unique differences was the existence of walls of stones built up around it. Another major geographic difference was also the existence of a huge lake near the city, situated exactly next to the crystal palace. The lake was extremely extraordinary in that its surface reflected the cover of the night.

Moments later, Tristan's group of three was seen being led into the crystal palace under the escort of a dozen Forlorn Kingdom's elven guards. All of this happened because of the presence of the envoy, which allowed them to sneak in without much suspicion.

(Can you still see me, Chieng?) Tristan spoke in a low voice, as he waited for the other party's reply from the earpiece.

(Affirmative, Master. Currently, you are being escorted toward the lake)

Tristan was surprised when he heard that. He did not expect that these people did not take them straight to the palace. Was there a possibility that their cover had been blown?

While walking toward the destination, Tristan tries to analyze the surroundings and compare them to the people in Vanyar. 

One thing he realizes was the Forlorn appear to be warier as he can see more guards and more elven citizens holding out weapons on the street. This was not a good sign for Tristan.

Several minutes of walking through Forlorn City's bustling streets later, they eventually arrived at what seemed to be a tree construction that was made overreaching the huge lake. 

There, Tristan saw an elf wearing a golden tunic embroidered in an elegant and delicate pattern. The other party had short spiky hair of bright green color and was currently holding a glass of drink while being surrounded by many beautiful elven girls.

The elven guards who escorted Tristan and the others told them to stop. To be safe, Tristan and Astrid stand quite a bit away at the back

A moment later the elf escorted them. announced who this figure was before them.

"Arcadian Kingdom's envoy, you are now in the presence of Janus Itrethril, the Forlorn Kingdom's prince."

The prince was standing turned to look at Tristan and the others. "Just three of you? That's unusual."
