Is it wrong to be an Elf in a Dungeon?

...

3rd Pov

One could see a handsome Elf with his hands folded in front of woman wearing Maid Uniform, he was none other than Ember, with mesmerizing blue eyes, and green hair, asking for help from none other than Aina Tuelle who seemed troubled. " Please Aina, help me!", he said, seeing him like this Aina didn't knew on what to do.

As for what was going on. Ember was seeking help from Aina, his sister's handmaiden, to gain her help in escaping from Alf's Forest. Ember's house arrest has just ended, and he had already turned into sixteen, he knew his father wasn't going to let him out, and he didn't want to wait till Finn and Loki come to escape from here.

He had already made most of the plans on how to escape, now he just needed for someone's help to arrange things, so he can run away once the opportunity arrives. He decided to choose Aina for the help, after all escaping from Alf's Forest was no joke, if not for the delayed communication in this medieval world, he doubted escaping from Alf's Forest in his circumstances was whether possible or not.

" Y-Your Highness! Please do not bow before me!", Aina said with panic, she couldn't bear a High-Elf bowing before her, someone who was just an Elf not even a Noble. " Aina, I know my request is extremely selfish, I am basically going asking you for helping me to escape, basically runaway, which is same as going against my father, then how can I not bow before you?", Ember said.

Aina was baffled, Ember has already explained his plans to her, he never asserted or ordered her, just asked her. If it was any other request, even asking her to become his lover, she would agree despite how awkward it might be for her. But his request was going against one other High-Elf's wishes, and it was none other than their King himself!

" Your Highness, you can ask me for anything else, but helping you to escape- I-It is difficult for me", she said with hesitation. Ember sighed, he also knew the consequences if she was exposed, she might get harsher punishment than him, thankfully he had it covered. He finally said standing up," T-This time I won't ask this request as the prince of Elves, but as your younger brother", he said.

Aina flinched, and looked at Ember's serious eyes, she had literally spoiled him together with Riveria when he was small, she was like an older sister. " Sister Aina, I am fed up with here. I want to explore the world unknown to me, I know there are dangers out there, but I have prepared. I have worked hard, really hard from my childhood, so just one day I can see all what I want to, and to achieve that I need your help, if you don't want to please tell me. I won't trouble you any further", he said with emotions glinting.

Aina gulped her saliva, myriads of thoughts passed through her mind. Finally, she sighed and grabbed his hands," Ember! Don't worry! Your Big sister will help you achieve your dream!", she said, she had decided to help the person before her, who was equivalent to his only younger brother.' Even if it is his majesty, how can I let my younger brother's dream be buried? As for punishment? Who cares! ', she thought.

Ember was overjoyed and hugged her, Aina blushed in his embrace, she sighed,' To think the little boy that I knew grew up to be such lady killer, if not for the fact I knew him since his childhood, I would have probably had a crush on him ', she thought, finally they separated, and discussed a bit more of their plan before Ember left.

...

Five months have passed since their talk, currently a luxurious banquet was held in the Royal Place. One could see Larfal Ljos Alf, talking amicably with the ducal heads, who were High-Elves as well. They were Elf Royalty as well, just handling the Alf's Forest as dukes. " It would seem Sir Phineas couldn't attend the banquet", a High-Elf said.

"It can't be helped, a small beast tide has occurred there, he needs to be present to ensure there are no causalities", another high elf said, and they nodded in agreement. " Still, he has his son, who recently became 67 years old this year, he is also an excellent mage and commander, he should have been able to take over as the commander, considering it is a small beast tide of Level 1's", another High-Elf asserted.

" He must be worried, after all who wouldn't be?", Larfal said, with the duke absent being none other than Ada's brother. Larfal talked with them for a while, before going to talk with someone else, however he frowned, when he couldn't see Ember anywhere. He looked at his wife talking with other Noble Elves, knowing well intruding in their topic would be anything good, he decided to look for his daughter.

He finally found her surrounded by some Nobles, and two sons of other dukes, bickering each other slightly, to get her attention and favour. Riveria just replied to them with short and cold answers, Larfal approached them, seeing the King himself approaching them, they became quiet and bowed elegantly before him.

He nodded, and asked," Riveria, where is Ember?", Riveria sipped the juice in her glass, and answered," Ember should have finished training, he would be getting ready on his own", she replied in brief, Larfal frowned and asked," What about his maid? Shouldn't she help him dressed?", Riveria replied," She had taken leave for this week and Ember refused any other maid to tend to his needs."

He nodded, and walked away, not noticing the sly look on Riveria's face. Their conservation was observed by Ada, once the mother and daughter's eyes met, they knew their plan's first step was successful. Just like that time started passing, with hours passing, when finally, dukes asked about Ember from Larfal, eager to meet him that he noticed the problem.

He noticed that his son was still missing, he quickly ordered a maid to look for him, however when the maid didn't return for quite long, everyone in the hall became silent. The Duchesses and the queen became silent as well, Larfal started getting impatient and ordered a few guards as well, and soon they returned with a shocking news.

" Your Majesty! His Highness isn't in the castle! We have searcher everywhere! His room! Kitchen! Training ground! Everywhere! But he seems to be vanished! This maid had found this letter on his table!", the guards said, the same maid who he had sent first quickly came before him and handed him over the letter.

On reading the letter the entire face of Larfal became pale, and his eyes were in disbelief. On noticing his expression, everyone understood that something is wrong, so a High-Elf duke quickly asked," Your Highness! What is written in the letter!", Larfal broke from his trance, his hands trembling, his eyes seemed to be filled with anger.

" Emberr!!!!!!!!!!", he shouted stunning everyone, he breathed heavily, quickly everyone calmed him down and he said," Ember! He has run away from here!! Quickly! Assemble all the guards! All the soldiers! Send the news to the fortresses! To the other cities as quick as possible! He shouldn't leave Alf's Forest!!", hearing his command everyone was shocked.

The guards though baffled, quickly assembled and carried out his commands. The entire Nobility was stunned by the stunt pulled by Ember. The dukes quickly decided to leave with their spouses, so that they can start searching for Ember in their cities as well. Larfal appreciated their concern, and soon the entire Capital was in an uproar.

" It's you Ada, isn't it?", he suddenly looked at Ada who while didn't reply but had a smirk on her face. Larfal wanted to say something else, when she approached him and grabbed his collar, making him look into her eyes," Larfal, you have made me really angry. Squashing the dream of our son for which he worked hard day and night, took so many risks, did even stupid and reckless things, and even got in argument with his dear sister for that. Do you think I will take on that lightly?", she said.

Larfal gulped his saliva on seeing her glare, a blush came on his face startling the maids, and Riveria,"*Ahem*", Riveria coughed breaking his trance, Larfal looked away with embarrassment. Everyone thinks that Larfal is the cold, dominating one in his relationship with Ada, who is normally cheerfully and having silly fun from time to time.

How wrong they are! Only Riveria who got the chance to know the truth knows it is totally opposite, unless one touches the sore spot of Larfal, their relationship is completely different compared to everyone's cognition, especially in the bed *ahem* *ahem*. ' Fucking perverts! ', Riveria glared at her parents.

" Ada- I will get him, I won't let my son break the taboo!", he said with determination, Ada giggled and said in a sweet tone,"~Honey, then why don't you try it? ~Do your best honey~", everyone shuddered including Riveria, seeing the smiles on the faces of their parent. They were glaring at each other with their peculiar smiles, and everyone could feel, the mess they have been involved into seeing them in such a condition.

...

" Neigh!", the horse released a grunt as his master pulled its reins causing the horse to gallop faster. The person's entire body was covered in cloth, one can only see his beautiful blue eyes, which were filled with determination as he rides on the horse. Soon he reached before the entrance of a huge city, his horse slowed down as he released the reins.

He saw many Elves, some humans and demi-humans standing in a line, facing towards the entrance which seemed to be heavily guarded by Elf soldiers. Seeing a passing Demi-human, a cat man, he stopped him and asked," Sir, sorry for stopping you. But can I know why there are- too many soldiers?"

The demi-human looked at him, and said," You don't know? Are you from one of the towns? Well they should have sent soldiers their as well. Whatever, the prince of Royal Alf's family, Ember Ljos Alf has run away from the home, he wants to leave the Alf's forest. A royal decree has been issued, to halt all the usual activities and search for him. I guess adventurers wouldn't be able to work properly for a few days."

He nodded, understanding everything. ' You did response very fast, Larfal ', he thought then a smirk came on his face under his mask,' Though it is useless in front of me ', he thanked the demi-human, and started running away in a different direction. As for the demi-human, he was slightly suspicious of him indeed, but how can he believe, that he talked with one of the esteemed High-Elves, who usually never leave Alf's forest?

If that wasn't enough, all Elves are haughty and proudful creatures by their natures. Even if it is mostly only towards other races, the High-Elves are respected so much, that every one of them get a haughty tone towards Elves, even if it isn't their intention. Thus, the Demi-human carried on, oblivious the fact he met a High-Elf.

The person quickly got in a pre-determined position, where a person was waiting. " Your Highness!", the person saluted, and he nodded," Is everything ready?", he asked, and the person nodded. He removed his cover revealing his long green hair, and blue eyes, though the person frowned a bit. " Is something the matter?", he asked, and the person said," Well, you look a bit different than what was shown in the painting?"

" I have done a bit of make-up, if not for the fact that the dye I has been using is used up, I would have my hair dyed blonde", he said, and the person, whose name was Klause nodded. " Are you scared of assisting me?", he asked, and Klause sighed," I was shocked when my friend Aina came up with Her Majesty's letter telling me, to help you to escape Elf's forest. But I have made the decision already", Klause replied firmly.

Then Klause quickly helped him dress up in a soldier's armor, and then with his help, he sneaked in the city unrecognized. It was pretty simple, he pretended to be someone Klause has heard about and researched and entered, and then Klause later entered on his own. At best, even if they get suspicious, they will be after that person whom Klause barely knew but understood very well due to stalking.
