## Chapter 1142 – Elf Queen Shahrhan

What in the world?

Could it be that I, Kim Kat, am so superior and magnificent that I’ve charmed the Elf Queen simply by existing?

That must be it.

This was a perplexing situation, but also an inevitable one. Almost reflexively, I felt my mind growing calm as I faced this. I am exceedingly rational right now.

Yes.

Across all races, there was no male more handsome and outstanding than I.

Good-looking.
Tall.
Incredibly strong.
A hero.
Righteous.
Immensely moral.

Listing them one by one, I possessed all the qualities that made me undeniably popular. I smiled and looked at the Elf Queen Shahrhan, who was gazing at me.

“Are you saying you’re more interested in me?”
“Yes. To the point where my heart is racing. It’s been years since I’ve felt this anticipation. It’s as if a forgotten emotion is being revived.”

As I subtly tried to remove her hand, Shahrhan’s fingers lightly brushed across the back of my hand.

To be this blatant.
Even so, I hadn’t expected this at all.

“I would like to talk a little more.”

In the Queen’s eyes as she said that, I sensed an endless distortion.

It seemed almost dangerous, given the circumstances.

“So alive… no. There are many beings that are alive, but it’s my first time talking to someone like you. I’m feeling such a surge of emotion. Hehe, at this rate, I’m not a queen, but a girl.”

As if she were trying to seduce me, she smiled and continued to express her interest in me. Any ordinary man would have fallen for it right then and there. After all, she was the Elf Queen, and while not quite as beautiful as my women, her beauty was exceptional.

But seriously, is this even possible?

“It is an honor to hear you say that. Still, I must hear about the alliance.”

Perhaps the Queen was using this seduction as a guise to lower my guard and do something.

I need to deflect for now.

I need to observe properly and make a judgment.

“Such tedious talk…”

The Queen, looking bored, rested her chin on her hand and said,

“In any case, it’s not something I decide, but something that World Tree-nim will decide.”
“Ah.”
“Still.”

As expected, the World Tree’s presence was indispensable in Elf politics.

“The conditions requested by the Karga Kingdom are quite to my liking. Even so, I have reigned as Queen for the past 250 years, governing the Elven Forest according to the World Tree-nim’s words. The kingdom has lowered its head slightly, and I think that’s enough.”

The Queen’s judgment was that the World Tree would likely give the OK sign?

“The alliance agreement will probably be concluded without any problems. So don’t worry. The World Tree-nim mentioned it first, and if the conditions are around this level, they will naturally accept it. Can we conclude it like this?”
“Yes.”

I nodded at her articulate words.

“I understand the Queen’s intentions. So, the document I gave to the Queen must be shown directly to the World Tree-nim.”
“For now, yes. I plan to make time soon to meet with the World Tree-nim and inform them.”

She plans to make time soon.

“So until then.”

The Queen ran her fingers, which had been caressing the back of my hand, over her lips.

“There’s a lot of time left.”

She said with a captivating smile.

Certainly, dealing with the World Tree would take a few days.
But the Queen seemed very pleased with that fact.

Why?

“Since you delivered the King’s letter, you have an obligation to take back the reply.”

Come to think of it, that was true.
I needed to receive the Queen’s reply and return.

“That’s right.”
“Is that so? So. Until the World Tree-nim gives that answer. It seems you’ll have to stay here for a while and wait.”
“Stay?”

What?

She wants me to stay in this Queen’s palace until the World Tree replies?

Is that what she just said?

“The World Tree-nim wants to meet you as well, not just about the contents of this agreement.”
“Ah, yes. Now that you mention it, a meeting schedule has been set.”
“That’s why I’m saying this. Please stay here until then.”

It was real.

So that’s how it’s going to be.

I think she’s seriously trying to seduce me without lying.

“In this Queen’s palace?”
“Yes. There won’t be any uncomfortable parts. In this Queen’s palace, the maids serve me, the Queen, not the World Tree-nim. You’ll be able to stay without any inconveniences.”
“How long will it take?”
“That depends on the World Tree-nim’s will. But it won’t be long. So please stay here comfortably.”

I don’t think I can stay here comfortably.

“And during that boring time, I would like to deepen my friendship with you.”

What should I do about this?

“Friendship… what kind of friendship are you talking about?”
“As I said, I’ve been confined here for 250 years. I’m thirsty for outsiders and the vivid stories they possess. The limited beings I can encounter here… aren’t very communicative or pleasant.”

Is it loneliness accumulated over 250 years?

“You could say it feels like being trapped on a deserted island. So I want that normal interaction. Do you understand?”

Seeing a perfect man like me in this state is enough to make anyone’s eyes turn. Good. Situation assessment complete. Let’s politely decline. I feel sorry for the Queen’s situation, but there’s no reason to accept it.

“I think deepening your friendship with me would be very good for you too.”

—슥.

The Queen said that, gently stroking her chest with her fingers. The movement naturally exuded sensuality. As always, the way to conquer a man is with such a sensual body. Shahrhan seemed to know that very well. Originally, pretty women know very well that they are pretty. This woman also knows how to use her beauty.

“Of course, I think deepening my friendship with the Queen would be a good thing.”

I can’t stay here.

“But how can the Queen and I stay together in a place like this? Generally speaking, it’s never a good thing.”

Shahrhan had lived confined here for 250 years, with only a few elves. She lived with very limited communication with beings who were not very pleasant.

Living like that, it’s no wonder she’s fallen into loneliness.

That’s why I think she’s seducing me so actively, but does she even want a one-night stand? Of course, there’s nothing good about falling for the Elf Queen’s seduction. She’s not a woman who can be my woman. I don’t even think about it in the first place.

Eight women are enough for me.

“I’ll be waiting in the accommodation, so please call me when the time comes.”

The moment I said that.

“Heung… you want to go back to that accommodation?”

—찌릿.

Suddenly, the Queen’s eyes turned cold.

Huh.

No.

What is this?

“I want to talk to you a little more.”
“…”

What I felt at that moment was an extremely foreign and sharp energy. That look in the Queen’s eyes just now… it was never normal. Right. Is that so? She has enough power to protect herself.

It seems she has some hidden power.

I could feel it from that fierce energy just now.

“You don’t want to do that with me, the Queen. Is that what you’re saying?”
“…That’s not it.”

More than that, she’s showing this attitude when we’ve only just met. Did she send that murderous aura just because I rejected her proposal? Could it be that the Queen is really?

This doesn’t make sense… this is crazy.
I don’t think she’s normal.

Let’s try to smooth things over for now.

“It’s just that I’m a man and the Queen is a woman. If I stay here, there will definitely be groups who don’t think this is a good thing. That wouldn’t be good for either me or the Queen.”

This was a natural thing to say.

This is qualitatively different from the guardian warriors throwing themselves at me.

Shahrhan is the Queen.
The Queen of the Elves.

That means she’s the only queen. And I’m an envoy from a distant human kingdom. When I see it, I can’t know what the Elven society will say if I stay in this Queen’s palace.

Of course, there will be sexual scandals, and it’s not good for either me or the Queen.

“I’m a messenger, but I came as an envoy, so I need to act meticulously in terms of etiquette and manners. So, rather than staying here, it’s better to wait for the World Tree-nim’s call in the accommodation where I was originally.”
“Ah! If that’s the case!”

—슥.

Suddenly, Shahrhan cut off my words and stood up.

“Queen-nim?”
“It’s okay.”

Then she looked down at me with a very benevolent face.

“Because there’s no one here. There’s no one who can talk about such things.”
“No, still.”
“As I said at the beginning… if there are no beings who will force such troublesome etiquette, we can simply skip it. If I live while being conscious of such things… I can’t help but go crazy. So there’s no need to worry about such things.”
“Queen-nim.”

The Queen, speaking in a lively tone, walked towards me.

—슥.

She sat down right next to me.

“So, during the period of receiving a reply from the World Tree-nim. It’s okay to stay here. Please stay comfortably. No one will know that you’re staying in the Queen’s palace. I won’t let anyone in.”

Then she grabbed my hand and poured out those words.

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

—물컹.

“Oh!”

Not only that, she moved her hips and leaned closer to me, hugging my arm, and subtly tried to put my arm between her breasts…!

No!!!

This woman is completely crazy!

This is real, damn it!

She’s not normal!

No matter what, I couldn’t explode here! How can I explode on the Queen of that country when I’ve come to another country, damn it!

I have to act very carefully now…!

“Q, Queen-nim!”
“Yes?”
“It’s not that they don’t know, the guardian warriors will know.”
“They wouldn’t say bad things about the Queen, would they?”
“Still.”
“And they… um. That’s right. They know that you’ve come to meet the World Tree-nim. So it’s okay to stay here. They’ll think you’re here because of that.”

This crazy woman!

She’s completely determined to seduce me!

I can’t bring up the words to tackle that first, what should I do in this situation!

“A man who can kill a great demon. What have you been doing while living until now? I’m very curious about that. I want to hear it directly from your mouth.”

I looked at the Queen, who was saying that with an expectant tone.

I steeled my heart.

I have no choice but to stay here for now.
Anyway, time will pass quickly.

I’ll meet the World Tree and do whatever.
Then I can go back.

“…I understand. Then I’ll stay here for a while. It’s not difficult to tell you stories.”
“Haa. I’m really happy. Yes. Please stay here comfortably. Without any burden.”
“…”

Why is this happening to me.

“Ah… I feel like this deep loneliness is being satisfied. I’m so happy. Living is definitely this kind of feeling, right?”
“…Are you that happy to talk to me now?”
“Yes. As I said, I haven’t had the chance to do this for the past years.”

Ha, damn it.

There’s no way a queen who has lived in such an environment can be normal.

Why didn’t I think of this first?

I looked at the Queen with a stuffy feeling.

“Isn’t that right? Think about it. If you lived like me, what would it be like?”
“…I think it would be very frustrating. Honestly, I can’t imagine it well. To not be able to leave this place for eight times the years I’ve lived. It’s terrible.”

It’s terrible.

When I said that, the Queen hugged my arm a little tighter and asked.

“Are you perhaps pitying me…?”
“How can I pity the Queen? I’m just frustrated. I’m sorry if you felt uncomfortable.”
“Hehe, it’s okay. It’s not a bad feeling.”
“More than that, this is a bit.”
“Ah, yes. I was too happy.”

The Queen let go of my arm.

What a big chest.

Damn it, the chest is not important now.

Anyway, as I was stroking my arm, the Queen said with a very refreshed face.

“Haa… you’re responding so well to the conversation like this. You’re taking my words so well. I’m happy.”
“…”
