Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Noble Elf Queen VS âProtagonistâs Auraâ Girl (Part 12) Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Noble Elf Queen VS âProtagonistâs Auraâ Girl (Part 12) Looking at the elf with a downcast expression before her, Gu Shengyin took a closer look at him and found his features increasingly familiar.
A tiny figure from the depths of her mind suddenly appeared, and Gu Shengyin had an epiphany, âAiluner?â
Sure enough, the elf across from her lifted his head in surprise upon hearing his name called out, revealing a joyful smile to her.
Ailuner was ecstatic, âHer Majesty the Queen still remembers me!â
Yet Gu Shengyin felt an urge to clutch at her chest in that instant.
This child, with his innate purity and beauty that seemed untouched by the mortal world, now showed a smile full of complete trust and joy; even Gu Shengyin, accustomed to seeing beauty, wanted to say: Itâs simply unfair!
Not to mention, this seemingly delicate and obedient child was one she had raised herself.
Gu Shengyin felt guilty for not recognizing her at first glance.
âI just didnât expect that after merely a sleep, my Ailuner had grown so much,â Gu Shengyin slowly stood up, and as she did, the crystal-like object vanished all at once.
She walked over to Ailunerâs side, only then realizing that the delicate child, though seeming frail and slender, was actually taller than herself.
âMy Ailuner must be close to adulthood, right?â she asked with a smile.
When Ailuner heard her say âmy Ailuner,â his heart raced for reasons unknown to him, and his face couldnât help but turn a bit red.
A delicate blush spread over his fair, jade-like skin, captivatingly beautiful.
Gu Shengyin happened to glance over at that moment and couldnât help but feel a pang in her heart again: She couldnât understand how Xi Liliâs heart was made, to be able to use such an Ailuner like that.
Ailuner, delighted that the Queen remembered his coming-of-age ceremony, was even more thrilled, âItâs next month.â
How wonderful, Her Majesty the Queen would personally be able to attend his coming-of-age celebration.
He felt that just standing beside the Queen, without doing anything extra, brought him immense happiness and peace. This feeling was incomparable, even with the tribe praising his talents.
He even thought, if only time could stay at this moment forever, he would stand by the Queenâs side indefinitely with no one else to intrude.
Unfortunately, the time for the two of them to be alone together was not long-lasting.
The news of the Elf Queenâs awakening spread quickly throughout the entire Elf race in just a short time.
All elves voluntarily came to the Holy Land to express their sincerest blessings to the Queen.
Ailuner stood aside, watching the Queen show the same tender and inclusive smile to other elves and seeing her gaze at each clan member with a gentle and concerned look.
Her tenderness belonged to all elves.
He had never realized this so clearly before.
This realization made him unhappy.
All Elf Clan Members said that, apart from the Queen, the most beautiful and talented Ailuner was an exceedingly generous and kind elf; his character was as beautiful as his appearance, as noble as described in the songs of praise.
But only he knew that he was generous, tolerant, and kind because he never cared about those things.
He was actually very selfish. The things he truly cared about, he did not wish to share with any other elf, not even a bit.
For instance, the gentleness and favor of Her Majesty the Queen.
