"However, this does not mean that the elves have completely lost their influence within the empire. Many of the great nobles in the East Territory have elven blood, and they still maintain ties with the Emerald Forest."
In the early years of the empire, forest elves and humans united, with numerous examples of mutual integration. After expanding territory, those who made outstanding contributions were granted fiefdoms near the Emerald Forest. Gradually, these nobles continued to grow and expand, gradually forming the present-day Eastern Territory of the Empire.
It can be said that the East is a region that is most deeply influenced by the forest elves. The people here do not like fighting and prefer a simple and comfortable pastoral life.
A stable order, a warm climate, and convenient coastal routes to the Eastern Continent have contributed to the prosperity of the Eastern Territory. It is also the most fertile region outside of the central region, which is directly governed by the Emperor.

These pastries were purchased in an elf town. They are said to be made from elves' own honey and rice flour, mixed with flower petal powder. They have a light fragrance. Each piece is divided into three layers of green, white and red, and is very delicious.
"Wow... delicious." Hels chewed the delicious pastry, nodded from time to time, and then looked hopefully at the box in Lily's hand.
"Don't eat too much, otherwise you won't have dinner at night." Lily closed the box and touched Hels's head, and the other party stopped talking reluctantly.
Looking at this scene, the witch lady beside her couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed slightly.
In this way, a group of people walked under the canopy of extremely tall trees. The carriage and the knights were covered with the fragmented sunlight in the shade of the trees, bathed in the slightly intoxicating warm breeze, and continued to move forward towards the distant boundary between heaven and earth.
