## Chapter 1150 – Elf Queen Shahran

“Shahran, I cannot accept your offer to make you my woman.”

The moment I said that, Shahran’s face froze instantly.

“…”

Silence.

Shahran, who had closed her mouth like that, soon glared at me, then, as if realizing it wasn’t right to do so, bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze slightly.

“…Am I not good enough?”

Her voice was clearly darkened.

“Not good enough, you say.”

Judging calmly, Shahran is not a woman who lacks anything. She is beautiful no matter how you look at her. Her figure is outstanding too. Her beauty is only slightly inferior to my women, and she is truly a queen herself. Her conditions are good.

Her sexual appeal to the opposite sex is overflowing.

Shahran knows this, so she tried to seduce me using her body.

Just looking at her breasts, they are very full. She seems like she would raise children well, and her pelvis is large, so a smooth childbirth would be possible. Her inner flesh was also pink, so she seems very healthy. In fact, as the queen of the elves, she maintains the best nutritional status, so it would be strange if she had any health problems.

She is perfect for conceiving my seed.

If Shahran were to have my child, she would raise it very well. After all, she is a queen. She has the means to do so. She would be good as a wife, and perfect as a concubine.

But.

She is a queen.

I have to leave this place, and this sacred domain and the queen’s palace are not places where anyone can enter as they please. In this situation, let’s think about making this heartbroken Shahran my woman.

It’s not good.

“…I won’t bother you. If you just hold me, I can do anything for you.”
“It’s not that you’re a bother, and it’s not that you’re not good enough.”
“…”
“Someone as beautiful as you and a queen has good conditions.”
“Then…!”

Her face begins to brighten at the added words.

“But Shahran. You are the queen of the Elven Forest. Can you leave here as you please?”
“…”

Shahran’s face freezes at those words.

“You can’t leave here as you please. Likewise, this is not a place I can come to as I please.”
“Ah…”
“Think about you becoming my woman. Then when else can we meet besides today? Of course, since I became the representative of the envoys, I’ll have a few more opportunities in the future. But that’s it.”

There are hardly any opportunities to meet.

“Realistically, it’s too hard for us to meet. It’s too long distance.”
“It’s, it’s okay… things like that…”

She placed her hand on her chest and began to defend herself in a desperate tone.

“I’ve been trapped here for so long anyway… Even if we have to part… I can endure it… I just… if you hold me once… I’ll live with that memory for the rest of my life. I’ll never bother you.”

This is too serious.

“That’s not the problem, Shahran.”
“Then why! I’m a queen…! I have a lot and… I can do a lot! And I’m confident in my beauty…! What’s the problem!”

She is being too aggressive in asking to spend one night together.

“Hic…! Hng… Hng!”

Shahran, who had collapsed, cried profusely, shedding tears. Seeing her kneeling on the spot and wiping her eyes with her hands, I felt quite sorry for her.

“It’s just a request to hold me only while you’re here…! I can do anything! I can give you anything…! Hng, hic…!”

Sobbing.

“I can give you my body and my heart…! Am I that unattractive?”

I quietly listened to all of Shahran’s words. Still, she is properly proposing to me like this, so I have to listen well and answer properly.

“Or is it because of this twisted personality! Huh?!”

Shahran finished speaking.

“I am saying.”

I answered.

“I’m a man who takes responsibility for my women unconditionally. Why? Because if they become my women, they have to give birth to my children and raise them very well. So I take responsibility for all my women.”
“…”

Becoming my woman means that.

“When I look at you like that. I don’t think I can take responsibility for you, that’s why.”
“Responsibility…”
“I told you. It’s too far. If I were to take responsibility for you, I would have to come and go here every time. Realistically, I can’t do that. That’s the biggest problem.”
“…”

Shahran was silent for a moment as if trying to think, then asked me.

“Then. If I become your woman, you have to take responsibility, but the problem is that I can’t leave here?”
“That’s right.”

When I nodded, she sighed.

“Haa… really.”

Shahran, who had stopped crying at some point, was looking up at me in a kneeling position, listening to my words.

“This queen’s palace was a more terrible prison than I thought. To think that would be the reason for rejection. Not only am I trapped, but I’m being rejected because I’m trapped.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. But I can’t help it.”
“…Ah, you feel sorry for me?”

ㅡHwaak!

Her face, which had looked depressed, turned red in an instant.

“You feel sorry for me…”

Shahran didn’t know what to do and covered her cheeks with both hands.

No.

Does she just feel good if I sympathize with her or empathize with her difficulties? Her face changes colors so quickly that it’s really easy to understand.

“Ahem, anyway. Then. If I can be taken responsibility for, can you accept me?”
“What?”

Can you be taken responsibility for?

What are you talking about?

Of course.

There’s no way that could happen.

“No. That’s just one of the reasons. As you said, it’s only been two days since we met. I can’t readily accept such a proposal when I don’t know you well.”

There are many reasons.

“Isn’t it too short a time to make a decision after simply hearing, ‘I want to be your woman, so please accept me’?”
“Short time… that’s right. Time and distance were the problem.”
“Pretty much.”

There’s no time to meet and the distance is far.

I can’t take care of her while taking care of my eight women. In fact, I’m very upset that I’m separated from Kadia, but what can I do.

“Then what about my charm? My charm isn’t the problem, is it?”
“Yes.”

I’ve already shown her my erect form anyway.

I’m a cold person when it comes to a woman’s beauty.

“I admit that you are beautiful, Shahran.”
“Then I pass the charm test… what about my personality?”

Her personality is a total psycho.

I do have a serial killer among my women, but if you compare their mental state to Shahran’s, they are almost all angels.

“You’re so weird. You’re a crazy psycho.”
“Ah, I know!”

Shahran’s face turns red immediately.

“That my personality is twisted…”

It’s more shocking that she knows.

“Th, then! Please decide here! You said you were rejecting me because you don’t know me well since we haven’t met for long! And you also said that time and space are the problem!”

That’s it.

“So what do you want me to decide?”
“Please think carefully about my proposal when the conditions are right!”
“Conditions?”

Shahran, who clenched both fists, said with a determined attitude.

“I won’t give up.”
“No, you idiot. I told you the reasons like that.”
“Yes. I understood that it’s not possible right now because I heard those reasons.”

Then she understood everything.

“I’ve been still all this time… but I haven’t broken down enough to stay still even though I have something I want. I’m going to use my authority and power as queen to change the situation.”
“What are you talking about?”

Change the situation?

“I will officially send a marriage proposal to the Karga Kingdom.”
“What?”

Officially send a marriage proposal?

If that happens.
It seems clear that I will be very troubled and tired.

“No. Hey. That doesn’t change our time and distance, does it?”
“It doesn’t matter. I can solve problems like that.”
“How?”
“Somehow. And this was a necessary thing anyway.”
“Sending a marriage proposal was a necessary thing?”

What are you talking about.

“You said you didn’t see the contents of the agreement.”

The contents of the agreement?

“Yeah. I didn’t see it.”
“Then please look at this.”

Shahran, who got up from her seat, took out a document from the drawer. It seemed to be the document from the Karga Kingdom that I had taken out of the box yesterday.

“Here.”

I picked up the paper and read it through.

“Uh.”
“You see it, right? The contents of the agreement proposed by the Karga Kingdom.”
“Uh… so this is.”

I put down the document and looked at Shahran’s face.

“A political marriage?”
“Yes.”

What was written in the document.

It was a sentence stating that the Karga Kingdom would propose a political marriage to the queen of the Elven Forest.

“The Karga Kingdom proposed a political marriage to me with the intention of strengthening the alliance. They want to keep the alliance safer by marrying their prince to me. Of course, it’s just a proposal anyway. There’s no reason for me to accept it. But I’m going to change this condition.”

Is she going to change it to marrying me?

“Shahran? Just marry that prince?”
“I hate it!!!”

A shout erupted.

“I hate it, I hate it! I can’t be with anyone but you!!”
“Why?”
“But… I fell in love at first sight.”

Oh dear.

“Th, Shahran. I don’t think doing that is a very good idea. I think it will be very difficult for each other.”

If this goes over to the Karga Kingdom… it’s not good. Troublesome pressure will come in. Of course, it will be easy to refuse, but it will be very difficult.

“Then will you accept me?”
“No.”
“I won’t give up.”

Shahran’s will seemed firm.

“Even if you don’t look back at me. I have the confidence to live thinking only of you forever.”
“…”
“If you don’t want me to make this formal request for marriage. Please confirm. That when those troublesome conditions are resolved, you will hold me.”

This is too much obsession.

I can’t help it.

“Okay. If that is resolved, I will seriously think about you.”
“Re, really?”

Her face brightens in an instant.

“Yes.”

If those problems are resolved, I can definitely think about it seriously.

“Ah, but don’t misunderstand. It doesn’t mean I’m just going to accept you. It means that once that space-time problem is resolved, I’m going to think about your proposal again seriously.”
“That’s enough.”

Good.

“Then… that public marriage proposal. Put it away.”
“Yes. I’ll put it away.”
“This bastard is trying to make me difficult.”
“I hope you understand…”

I think I’ve put out the immediate fire.

Shahran won’t try to bring up this topic again while I’m here. When I look at it, it seems very difficult for that problem to be resolved. Shahran can’t leave the sacred domain, and this is not a place where you can enter as you please.

I don’t know what she’s planning, but if she’s convinced by this, that’s it.

My mind is at ease.

“Then let’s eat.”
“…Yes.”

* * *

The next day.

“Haa… I think I’m okay now.”
“Your butt?”
“Yes.”

I can’t see it well because it’s covered by clothes, but Shahran claimed that her butt had fully recovered in just two days. Then it would be okay to go to see the World Tree soon.

“Then let’s go see the World Tree. When can we go?”
“If you want, we can leave at noon today.”
“Oh, really? Then let’s go.”
“First… I’m asking just in case. Did you wash in the spring?”
“Yeah. I did everything before I came.”

At those words, Shahran nodded.

It’s been a few days, but it seems okay.

“But why are you so active?”
“Because I need to get this done quickly.”

It’s about the marriage request.

Then let’s get ready. Anyway, I just need to wash and put on clothes. All the equipment is being kept here.

Shahran and the maid will take care of the other things.

“Are there any precautions?”
“Um… First of all. When you arrive.”

Shahran’s explanation continued.

“You’ll take off your clothes and go into the gap in the World Tree, and after that, you just have to stay still. Whether you can hear the World Tree’s voice or not… I don’t know.”
“You said only you can hear the voice.”
“Yes.”
“Is it meaningful if we can’t communicate?”
“I think it’ll be okay. The World Tree is a real god.”

That’s right.

Anyway, to sum it up, am I getting my body scanned?

That’s a bit unpleasant.

But the opportunity to directly encounter the god of this other world is worth enduring that unpleasantness.

As much as he sees me, I will see him too.

Unfortunately, the World Tree is not a god of war, destruction, or nothingness. But there’s no harm in seeing it.

And who knows.

We might be able to communicate.
