Alpha's Rejected Mate Returns as Queen-Chapter 651 Outside The Field

651 Outside The Field

Lily's POV:

I realized that I didn't hate this manor. It was simply too comfortable after all the annoying people inside had left. What kind of experience would living in a mansion over 1,000 square meters be? I could only say that rich people really know how to enjoy life.

You might think I was also a rich person, but really, my parents were very rich, not me.

A day after I returned, the manor was empty. There was no one else besides a few servants and the gatekeeper. Without the master, the servants inevitably slacked off and rarely came to the top floor.

This made my life very quiet. Also, I discovered that the servants were secretly embezzling funds and living supplies, but I didn't plan to tell anyone. Anyway, they weren't greedy for my money. I could also take advantage of the situation to get some food or something.

In short, the sudden arrival of good days made me really relaxed for a few days. During this period, small sparrows would send letters from time to time, on which were notes from Yarin or Heller, telling them what happened in the outside world recently.

Celebrity gossip, bored, just casually looking.

Political battles, boring, just looking around.

Their conditions had improved, which was very good. In addition to caring about their health, I wrote back and asked, "Why do you use the ancient communication method of bird messaging when you leave your mobile phone unused?"

They replied, "Because they forgot."

Forget it. Alright, this reason sounded stupid, but it was not unacceptable.

But in the following days, we still used sparrows to exchange messages. I had to bring up a few more loaves of bread because these small gray birds could really eat. Yarin always told me about disputes between werewolves and humans. It was as interesting as a TV series, and I gradually became interested.

The Jasperian government made another statement. It was boring. Compared to the last time, they only changed a few terms.

The werewolves retaliated. Boring but satisfying. We didn't need to be human bootlickers.

The other human countries sent their greetings. They were bored and did not mind watching the show.

The elf clan sent…

Wait, the elves?

I immediately put down my half-eaten ham sandwich. He carefully read the contents of the note.

Ever since I was still a child, the elf race had fallen into a civil war. Over the years, various political powers had risen and fallen, and their people had fought well. They didn't care about what happened outside the Elf Forest at all. They were even more reclusive than in peaceful times.

I heard that the Queen went to the elf clan when she was young. I didn't know what she did, but she brought a bunch of elf kids back as 'exchange students'.

This exchange lasted for ten years. The elves seemed to have forgotten about them. Other than signing an extension agreement in the first few years, they had yet to bring this up again in the next years. 𝑏𝘦𝑑𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As a result, these little elves became a lingering problem. Repatriate them? The war there was fierce, and outsiders were not allowed to enter. We couldn't just throw a group of children at the border and let them go on their own.

If they stayed, the legitimacy was also a problem. Wouldn't it be troublesome if the elves were accused of 'illegal detention' in the future?

However, the Queen was a merciful person. Compared to trouble, she was more unwilling to see these elves abandoned, so she had been raising them for free.

After so many years, just as everyone was about to tacitly agree that the elves had given up on these children, they suddenly sent a diplomatic document, blaming the werewolves for illegally detaining the underage elves for so many years. They demanded that the exchange students be immediately sent back and that a reasonable explanation and compensation be given.

Not only did they want an explanation, but they also wanted compensation. How shameless.

Even more laughable was that this was one of many diplomatic documents. Many of the forces that had occupied most of the civil war held the werewolves accountable in the name of the legal government. In an instant, the elf race had countless elf kings.

This was too absurd. The national affairs were being treated like child's play. Of course, the Queen would not care and would pretend she had not received these waste papers.

I treated it as a joke, but Yarin thought it strange.

"... At this critical moment when the werewolves and humans are fighting, the elves, who have been out of the picture for a long time, suddenly sent such a ridiculous request. It is too much of a coincidence.

"It's obvious that there's no difference in power among the elves. So why did these arch-enemies suddenly send the same diplomatic document at the same time? Other than someone deliberately instigating it, I can't think of any other possibility…

"... Perhaps the humans are behind this. They do not want to fall out with the elves, so they order them to be their guns... The elves have long forgotten the pride of their ancestors. To fight for power, they are willing to be influenced by other races. I bet the Goddess of Nature will never recognize such a despicable people…"

Yarin did not dare to jump to conclusions. He believed that the Queen had the same suspicions, which was why she ignored the accusations of the elves. The werewolves should not take the initiative to pour more dirty water on themselves.

As for the rest, Yarin asked if he wanted to move to a sanatorium. The royal family temporarily took over that place. The Queen refused to let anyone visit her, including my mother, in the name of the prince's illness.
