"What are you scheming?" I asked, my voice tinged with displeasure.

The sylph sitting before me sternly met my gaze.

"I wish to unite the elves," Shure said.

"You want to become king?" I asked.

The king of elves, huh.

"You jest. The highest authority among us elves is the sage's council. A lone ruler would not be accepted."

This village doesn't really seem against the idea, though, but regardless, it seems this man has no intentions of becoming king.

"Master Shure, written protests have come from the other forests—!" An elf said as soon as he entered the room, but when he saw me, he stopped.

"Continue," Shure said, prompting the elf to continue.

Apparently, the other elven forests had announced their stand against Forni's decision to ally with the goblins.

"Master Fenit Symphoria of the sage's council has called for a meeting. The other forests will be attending..." The secretary-like elf was quivering, but Shure was as calm as spring rain.

"This is still within our expectations. Without a strong medicine we sylphs will never be born again. What did the Windy Forest say?" Shure said calmly.

The elf straightened up his back and looked down on the letter in his hand.

"Master Falun will be supporting Master Shure," the elf read.

"Good, then. Let the branches of the forest know that if they support me, they must gather together with their bows and quivers."

That was undoubtedly a declaration of war.

"...Milord, won't you think this over again?" The elf said after glancing at me once. "What meaning is there in shedding blood amongst elves? So long as we're able to live in the forest..."

The elf knew what he was saying was an affront to me, but he said his piece anyway. It seems the elves hold Shure in regard.

"Fei, you are a brilliant elf, but if we elves remain the way we are today, we will not be able to avoid a calamity 100 years later."

A century was still within the lifetime of an elf. In fact, it could be said to be a short period considering they themselves could live well over 200.

"Right now we must shed blood and resist the tyranny of the humans. If we don't fight while we have allies, only a future of slavery awaits us," Shure said while looking at me. "I do not wish to see such a shameful future for our proud descendants... even if it means shedding the blood of my brethren."

Shure seems young from the outward, but it seems he's already lived past a hundred years.

"Fei, gather our brethren," Shure said, still looking at me, his gaze growing sterner as the secretary-like elf left. "With this things have turned exactly as you've wished. We will be going to war together."
