Because Victor was studying magic, he had no time to manage many affairs within the territory.
But someone from the Cleviner family needs to step up in the future.
So, Lia volunteered.
"It's funny, my initial motivation for making money was to make it easier for Viktor to immerse himself in his magical studies."
Lia sighed and smiled at the same time.
The two elves looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
At that moment, Lia's voice rang out again:
"Oh, really, we were so busy chatting that we forgot about the important matter."
"You didn't come here today just to chat with me, did you?"
Vinya snapped out of her daze and quickly said:
"Of course not."
She came to the Clevners' house mainly to ask if they had found any trace of Kokot.
After a period of rest and recuperation, many new elves were born in the Elf Forest.
The elves now urgently need to gradually understand the outside world and break free from the prison of the fog.
Therefore, establishing diplomatic relations with the empire became particularly important.
The elves had long since made all the preparations, waiting for Kokot to step forward as queen to establish a friendship between the empire and the newly formed city-state of the Elf Forest.
But at this critical juncture, Cocotte disappeared, and remained missing for half a month.
When Kokot was seen again this time, the Divine Tree had withered, but Kokot had absorbed all of the Divine Tree's energy.
This shocked Vinya so much that she forgot the purpose of her visit.
Leah, however, looked at Kokot with a playful expression and said to Vinya with a hint of annoyance:
"Then you'll have to ask your family's elf queen what she's up to."
"She slept in my garden for a full two weeks, almost turning my garden into a forest."
Hearing Lia say that, Kokot turned his head away guiltily.
He wore a forced smile.
Vinya leaned back in shock, her eyes wide and her mouth agape:
"Are you... are you a pig?"
Even pigs can't sleep this much...
Then, Lia chuckled softly from the side:
"Winter is coming, it's time to prepare for hibernation, which is understandable."
Kokot blushed as the two men talked to him, and could only weakly try to find a reason to explain himself.
He spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz:
"Oh dear, I didn't want to sleep this long either, but..."
At this point, her already weak voice came to an abrupt halt.
She seemed to realize something was wrong.
Hene, and that lazy white puppy.
She clearly remembered that the puppy that Henne brought back made a deal when she was most sleepy.
I'd trade a night of uninterrupted sleep for Koko's cloud.
Of course, the terms of the deal were that after Cocote woke up, the other party would return the cloud to her.
Kokote remembers this very clearly.
She seemed to remember the little dog.
Those cloudy, languid eyes possessed an alluring magic.
It's as if he can see through her deepest desires.
To satisfy desires through transactions...
Suddenly, Cocotte sat up straight and stared wide-eyed.
Isn't this exactly what a 'demon' looks like?!
She also remembered that a group of witchers had invaded the Clavner family home some time ago.
At the time, she was also curious as to why the Clavner family would be targeted by witchers.
Now, she seems to have some clue.
As she pondered this, Lydia, who was waiting for Kokot to continue, couldn't help but ask:
"So, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Goose……"
Kokot raised his face, looking at Leah with a conflicted expression.
Lia is probably unaware of this matter.
It would be inappropriate to tell her directly; we should wait for Viktor to return and discuss it with him in detail.
But right now, she had to come up with a reason to fool Liya.
Her mind raced, and suddenly she saw a huge figure enter the room from outside.
Upon seeing the tall figure, Cocotte realized that it was the Clavner family's butler.
At this moment, the other person was carrying a pair of crimson armor and a huge treasure chest in his other hand, passing by the door.
The armor and treasure chest were still covered in dust and dirt, giving off a musty, damp smell.
Kokot sniffed it; the smell was that of old, damp soil, and it didn't have such a pungent odor in ordinary damp soil.
She stared blankly as the bear-man passed by, a question rising in her mind, and then hesitantly asked Liya:
"Your butler...went to rob graves?"
