Western Fantasy: The Princess Wants to Save the World

Chapter 181 Dirty Past

Demetra's thoughts were suddenly drawn back to four hundred years ago when she and everyone else had just left the elven tribe.

Having lived in the elf tribe for a long time, Demetra missed the elves very much in the third month after leaving the tribe.

She feels that the outside world is too complicated.

There was a chaotic war at that time.

Between humans and orcs, between humans and dwarves, between humans and giants, and between the four races and demons.

War may break out at any time and in any place on any land.

Human beings had just risen at that time, and they were unwilling to be the inferior people in the world anymore. They wanted equal rights, dignity, and respect.

Various organizations have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

As the leader of the entire team and the founder of the Magicians' Guild, Ellal often takes everyone to social events.

Cecilia has never been interested in such things. Whenever this happens, she would simply refuse to go.

Ellard seemed to be accustomed to her attitude and never forced her.

It was only much later that Demetra realized that the leader of the team was never Elar as shown on the surface, but Cecilia.

Almost all the plans or proposals proposed by Cecilia were eventually completed.

But at that time, Demetra was full of curiosity about the outside world. After going there several times with Elar and others, she always felt many strange looks. In addition, with the abilities of the elves, she could always hear the dirty thoughts in those people's hearts, and she began to dislike that kind of place.

When Elar needed to socialize again, Demetra also said that she didn't want to go.

Ellar frowned and asked Demetra why she suddenly didn't want to go.

Demetra was honest and said that when she went there she always felt like someone was staring at her and she felt uncomfortable.

As for those dirty thoughts, Demetra spoke very vaguely, but it was enough for Ellard to understand.

Ellard's brows furrowed when he heard this.

The characteristics of the elves are quite obvious. Just the pair of ears that are different from all other races has made many people in the city, which was not called Petra at the time, know that the elves have appeared in the world.

Demetra's thoughts were simple. In this strange world outside, the only people she knew and was familiar with were those in front of her.

She had expected that after she said this, Ellard should not only not invite her again, but should also identify those people with obscene looks to vent Demetra's anger.

At that time, Elal had this ability in Petra.

Rather than asking others for help, it is more common for others to ask him for help.

But what Demetra didn't know was that the reason why others gave face to Elar was more because at that time, Cecilia's magic was at a gap.

There is nothing that Cecilia can't solve, and no one that Cecilia can't kill.

On the surface, it seemed that people from Petra came to flatter Elar, but secretly Elar tried every means to maintain this superficial appearance.

When Cecilia expressed that she didn't like attending such occasions, Ellard was worried at first, but later he slowly began to enjoy the power and aura that Cecilia brought him.

He began to hope that Cecilia would never try to be in the limelight in her life.

The appearance of Demetra undoubtedly added a touch of glory to Ellard's face.

A beautiful and rare elf, an elf that does not interfere in outside disputes, is now standing by his side.

It would be a lie for Ellard to say he wasn't proud.

Of course, he had noticed everyone's staring and peeping at Demetra as early as the first day she appeared in the public eye.

But he knew very well that no one here really dared to touch Demetra.

So naturally, when Demetra told Ellard that she was feeling unwell, she did not get the response she wanted. Instead, Ellard once again invited her to attend.

Her words implied that she would not be disappointed this time.

After just two or three months of living together, Demetra thought that this was Ellard giving her an answer, to reassure her that he would support her.

The accident happened anyway.

Someone really did attack Demetra right under Ellard's nose.

Demetra was somewhat desperate.

She could hear the other person's thoughts and knew exactly what the other person was going to do next.

She wanted to use the elves' ability to control other races to protect herself.

But there were many people around at that time, and if she used it, the secret of the elves would be exposed.

Demetra's despair was already evident on her face. She looked at Ellard who was standing outside the crowd not far away. How she wished that Ellard could pay a little more attention to her.

But no.

Someone said something in Elar's ear, and Elar's back disappeared in the crowd and was never seen again.

Demetra was still struggling.

But no one around was willing to lend a helping hand.

Demetra looked among the crowd, hoping that another companion would notice her humiliation.

Faces flashed by in the crowd one after another, none of them were familiar to her.

She also heard someone in the crowd who wanted to save her, but that person was hesitating and timid.

In this tense moment, Demetra even had time to think, and rightly so.

But why did she have to endure such an insult for no reason?

If the elves did not control each other, there would not be much difference between them and ordinary humans.

"Oh, I see so many people here, they are all blind."

A lazy female voice suddenly appeared, and the person on Demetra was obviously distracted. Demetra seized the opportunity to kick the other person and left immediately.

While trying to escape, someone grabbed his arm. Demetra's heart instantly sank. How could he be caught again so quickly?

She looked back and saw a pair of soothing eyes.

She was also familiar with the owner of those eyes.

The person who came was Cecilia.

How would Demetra describe her feelings at that time?

It's nothing less than going from hell to heaven.

After seeing the owner of the glasses, Demetra felt relieved instantly.

The people who had bullied Demetra before immediately put on a flattering attitude after seeing that the person speaking was Cecilia.

The Magicians Guild just won a battle some time ago. Who doesn’t know who the hero of that victory is?

Cecilia, who is ruthless to anyone on the battlefield, is seen as a killing machine by many people.

They admire Cecilia's strength, but are also wary of her strength.

Under Ellard's deliberate guidance, they believed that only Ellard could control Cecilia, the killing weapon.

Cecilia naturally didn't know this.

Even the orc king at the time, who was the king of the kingdom where the four tribes shared this habitat, loved and feared Cecilia's existence.

Who wouldn't fawn on such a person?

Cecilia looked at the other person's flattering look and said, "Why are you apologizing to me? What? Did you offend me?"

"I didn't expect that there would be a fool among these blind people."

Cecilia glanced around, but no one dared to even breathe.

The other party immediately apologized to Demetra, and Demetra subconsciously stood behind Cecilia.

Cecilia squeezed her hand soothingly, "If you don't want to forgive, then don't forgive. Not everyone is worthy of forgiveness."

Someone was backing Demetra up, so Demetra naturally wouldn't forgive him.

Cecilia suddenly laughed, and then looked at the man fiercely, "Since my friend says she won't forgive you, why don't you get out of her sight? Don't let me see you again, or you can try my tricks."

Those who had been watching the show before did not dare to leave. Cecilia took Demetra by the hand and found a place to sit down, "Go and call Elar over to me."

Ellard had been sent out originally, and now he heard someone coming to tell him that Cecilia was coming.

Ellard was both happy and afraid. He was happy because Cecilia's appearance undoubtedly made him more proud, but he was afraid that if Cecilia also started to enjoy the flattery of these people and compete with him, what should he do?

Ellal was obviously worrying too much.

What greeted him was a rather humiliating scolding, and the person who scolded him was none other than Cecilia, who had always brought him face and honor.

From then on, Elar's social engagements shrank drastically.

Or it should be said that all social activities in Petra were greatly reduced. No one dared to continue to use those social activities to do anything blatantly after Cecilia's words.

Demetra slept with Cecilia that night.

After leaving there, Ellard wanted to find Demetra to do some superficial work, but he never found an opportunity.

It was not until three days after the incident that Ellard found an opportunity to apologize to Demetra.

After this incident, Demetra had a better understanding of Ellard's character, but she did not blame him at this time, and kept talking about Cecilia's timely action.

Ellard finally understood that there had always been this hurdle between him and Demetra, so he didn't say anything more and just found a reason to leave.

Another month later, Cecilia picked up a person from the battlefield. Her name was Abeluna.

Petra hadn't had a decent entertainment event for a long time, and Ellal suggested holding a welcoming ceremony for Abeluna.

Cecilia agreed.

Demetra was a little wary of the appearance of Abeluna. She was not worried that Abeluna would take her place in Cecilia's heart, but she simply felt that there was something wrong with this little girl picked up from the battlefield.

Fortunately, it was later discovered that Abeluna was not an undercover agent sent by some conspiracy theorist.

As the team grew in size, Demetra's presence became weaker and weaker.

She felt more and more that this place was not suitable for her.

As expected, what the elder said was right. The outside world was not suitable for the elves. Perhaps she should go back.

When Cecilia learned of Demetra's thoughts, she expressed her respect and said she would send her back.

Demetra knew that Cecilia was a very busy person, and she also knew that she really didn't have the ability to go back alone.

While waiting for Cecilia to find time, many people came to persuade Demetra to stay.

No matter how colorful the world outside is, Demetra wants to go back.

After everyone's persuasion failed, Elar was the last one to come and chat with her.

The content of the persuasion is somewhat novel.

Ellard took Demetra to secretly follow Cecilia for a day, so that Demetra could see how busy Cecilia was in a day.

Maybe she was so busy that Cecilia didn't even notice the two tails, or maybe she noticed them but pretended not to know.

After all, Demetra saw with her own eyes how much Cecilia had to do in a day.

Finally, on the way back with Demetra, Ellar said, "She didn't have to be so busy."

Demetra was also well aware of this reason.

But she still wanted to go home.

She doesn't like anyone here except Abeluna and Cecilia, especially this Ellal.

But Cecilia is very nice to Ellard.

Although when Ellard did something wrong, Cecilia scolded him more harshly than anyone else.

But at the same time, Cecilia's concern for Ellard is the most obvious.

Whenever Elar needs help, Cecilia will offer help without Elar asking.

Cecilia is like a little sun.

But that didn't stop Demetra from liking Ellard.

So Demetra left Petra alone.

It's not that she is completely incapable of protecting herself, she is just exposing the abilities of the elves.

It was not until someone noticed that Demetra had not appeared for several days that Cecilia realized that Demetra had left.

There was no telling how long the road was from Petra to the New Forest of Burrow, and it was almost impossible to find Demetra.

Some people have begun to persuade Cecilia not to do such meaningless things.

Others blamed Demetra for making decisions on her own without considering people like them at all.

Cecilia didn't even listen. She asked the system to quickly give her Demetra's location and chased after him.

Demetra's journey was not very fast.

When Cecilia caught up with her, they had only reached the third town.

Although Demetra encountered some dangers along the way, he also saw many interesting things on the road.

She suddenly felt that the outside world was just as dirty and boring as Petra.

When she met Demetra, Cecilia did not blame him for leaving without saying goodbye. The first thing she said was, "I'm sorry, I was too slow in handling things and made you wait anxiously."

It would be a lie for Demetra to say that she didn't blame herself.

She had seen how much Cecilia had to deal with in a day.

She felt that Cecilia's abilities were not enough for her to work like a slave for Elar all her life in a place like Petra.

She put it mildly.

Because she knew that Cecilia treated Elar as a friend.

Cecilia smiled and told Demetra, "The reason why I've been so busy recently is that I'm thinking that after I finish dealing with the mess here, I'll go somewhere else."

Demetra's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked Cecilia where she was going.

Cecilia did not hide the plan from her and told Demetra about it.

After hearing this, Demetra immediately said that she wanted to join them.
