I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Elf Royal Court, a quiet place in the western part of the city,

This area was not far from the core tower of the Illiser Family, and all the way here, Lis saw the Guards of the Illiser Family wearing golden Light Armor.

It seemed that this area was also quite important to the Illiser Family.

Lis followed Cecil here, and along the way, when they encountered patrolling Elf Guards, there was an unspoken understanding, and none approached to inquire.

After all, the only Human who could be found in the Elf Royal Court was Lis.

Originally, after receiving the Pompey Clan Leader's approval, Lis had access to almost the entire Elf Royal Court, except for a few restricted areas.

Not to mention, Elder Ricardo had already instructed them in advance, so there was even less need to hinder him.

Moreover, they had also heard about the matter between Lis and Cecil, which they couldn't help but look forward to.

At this moment, Cecil was no longer the vivacious and cheery person she was when with Lis but instead followed shyly beside Lis with a red-faced demeanor.

Seeing Cecil's appearance, despite her previous proactive behavior, she seemed somewhat shy when it came down to the wire.

Lis didn't mind and took Cecil's hand, smooth as jade.

Cecil was slightly startled, struggled a little, and seeing Lis did not let go, she accepted it with a blush.

Lis felt a surge of contentment and smiled, walking with Cecil towards their destination.

Soon, a delicate treehouse appeared before Lis and Cecil.

The treehouse, quietly surrounded by verdant oak trees, nestled against an ancient and massive trunk. The wooden walls were entwined with green vines, like the traces of time, as if molded by the hands of the Nature deity into a piece of art.

Around the treehouse was a yard embraced by blooms. Fresh and colorful flowers, still with morning dew, trembled gently in the wind, exhaling waves of intoxicating fragrance, shining brilliantly in the sunlight.

Lis had heard about Cecil's mother from her.

Her mother, Ariana, was a Day Elf from the Illiser Family and was paired with her father, Agli, a common Elf.

This was quite rare in the Elf Kingdom, but fortunately, the Illiser Family was relatively progressive. They had agreed to her parents' union back then, just as they did now, and granted their Blessing.

The only difference was that her father was the captain of the Jade City Elf Guard, so he rarely got to see his wife, who lived at the Elf Royal Court.

However, the affection between her father and mother was always strong, and Cecil had grown up under their loving care.

Holding Cecil's hand, Lis could feel the girl's slight tension and smilingly said,

"It's okay, don't worry."

Strangely, it was Cecil who seemed more nervous, even though they were about to meet her mother.

Cecil took a deep breath to calm the inexplicable emotions stirring within her.

She opened the door and entered the treehouse with Lis.

A cozy aroma greeted them, and the room's decor was simple yet elegant, each corner revealing the homeowner's taste and thoughtfulness.

Soft cushions, delicate tea sets, and books scattered in the corners all contributed to a warm homey feeling.

More notably, the room was filled with traces of Cecil's parents' lives. Hand-painted portraits hung on the walls, depicting heartwarming scenes of the family, and on the tables were intricate decorations and somewhat antique toys,

These little details infuse the entire treehouse with the essence of love.

"Is that you, Cecil?"

A gentle female voice sounded, and a beautiful Elf woman emerged from within the room.

She possessed dazzling golden hair, like sunlight scattered over a golden wheat field, speckled with captivating luster. Her golden hair gracefully cascaded over her shoulders, swaying slightly with the breeze from the window.

Her golden eyes were deep and bright, but devoid of coldness or arrogance, filled only with immense tenderness and love. Lis felt as though a warm current had flooded his heart, softening the entire world around him.

"Mother, good morning."

"Lis, this is my mother, Anlianna."

Upon seeing her mother, Cecil quickly called out, then became a bit tongue-tied, unsure of what to say next.

Ariana's face bore a smile, but she did not say much.

Noticing her daughter's hand held by Lis's, she knew who this Human was.

"You must be Lis, right?"

"Cecil has mentioned you to me many times."

Ariana wasn't surprised; although it was late last night, Elder Ricardo had gone out of his way to visit her to discuss the marriage between Cecil and Lis,

Ariana had no intention of stopping the two of them.

Every time Cecil talked to her, she would bring up this Human named Lis. Ariana had long noticed her daughter's affections and simply refrained from asking further.

She trusted that Cecil would make the right choice, and the attention the union of Cecil and Lis had received from Elder Ricardo, even the Pompey Clan Leader, was proof enough of Lis's merits.

Furthermore, even to Ariana, Lis seemed quite handsome.

Even among members of the Illiser Family, he would be considered distinguished.

"I'm pleased to meet you, Lady Ariana."
