“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Where did you hear it?”
“I heard it from the people of Laios.”
She nodded her head as if convinced, but when I looked at Jung Hayan’s confident face, somehow, it didn’t sound convincing.
Of course, it didn’t mean that I didn’t believe in Jung Hayan, but I simply could not rule out the possibility of it being a lie to grab my attention.
I had to look for someone to judge the truth.
As if asking if this was really true, I looked at Cho Hyejin, and unexpectedly, she nodded and opened her mouth.
“Yes. It is true. I don’t know exactly, too, but… I have heard it like Hayan.”
“What?”
“There is no way to tell whether it is true or not, but… Sometimes it is said that a special entity among the elves is born with that ability. Of course, there is no known difference between the cleanliness of the soul or simply the distinction between good and evil. In fact, there is so little information about the elves that there will be no exact information, especially for the high elves.”
“You mean high elf?”
“Yes. It is said to be a story passed down among continental people. Considering that Princess Elena is a high elf born after thousands of years, it’s plausible enough… Oh! Stories of high elves looking at clean souls often appear in fairy tales and stories of the State.”
“Ah…”
‘This is rather more convincing…’
It was far from meaning that it was absurd to appear in children’s books, traditions, and stories on this continent because this was not the Earth.
Most of the children’s books and legendary stories here were based on true stories, and there were actually many dungeons and monsters discovered because of these. There was nothing strange about that.
It was not strange for an elf to pop out, looking at the cleanliness of the soul.
‘This is making me worried…’
In fact, there was nothing to feel guilty about. I was already a hero among the heroes who had saved Laios, no, even the continent.
Even if they judged my soul to be unclean, it would be difficult to find a situation in which they would condemn me. Following this mindset, it wouldn’t make sense to worry much.
Light Kiyoung’s magical power was filled with divine power, and his title was also inscribed as “Continental Guardian.”
Although things were a bit twisted, it was also true that I had saved Laios.
Perhaps…
‘Who knows if my soul has become a little cleaner?’
There were countless numbers of good things I had done recently.
Things got a little twisted in the first round, but anyway, wasn’t I currently working hard for the camp of light in Kim Hyunsung’s arms?
Although I had begun to think like this, it was no wonder that I began to feel anxious because anything could happen. In fact, it didn’t matter as to what would happen, but looking good was still an important part of the job.
In the end, I had to open my mouth toward Cho Hyejin. I had to refrain from pretending that I was sick anymore, but this much was okay.
“Hyejin, do you have a wheelchair here?”
“What?”
“Somehow, I suddenly ran out of breath…”
“…”

She looked as if she wanted to say many things, but Cho Hyejin accepted my request without saying anything further.
After she went outside for a while, her face pulling a wheelchair was engulfed in an unknown sense of shame. She sighed differently from the way she was worried about me before.
It seemed that she noticed what I was thinking.
‘I have to exaggerate this much.’
Even if my soul was a little dirty, everything would be solved if I were to compete with a clean and noble appearance.
“Cough. Cough.”
A cough came out unexpectedly, whether it was the influence of being too absorbed in acting too much, but Cho Hyejin, pushing the wheelchair, had on a cold expression.
Of course, Hayan’s worried face was evident. With this, we went on our way.
As the faces of Laios guards opening the door showed infinite respect for me, my confidence to get out of the wheelchair rose.
After imitating Laios’ specific greeting method, placing my palm on my forehead, I went inside and saw Han Sora and Park Deokgu sitting with awkward expressions on their faces.
Of course, Kim Hyunsung was also present.
I noticed him a little flustered whether he hadn’t expected me to appear in a wheelchair.
“What’s going on? Kiyoung, maybe again…”
“Ahh. It’s nothing, Hyunsung. I was dizzy for a moment. There is no problem with walking or moving, but I came like this because I was wondering if I wouldn’t show a good appearance to the Eberian delegation. The conference with Oscar and Pristina is…”
“We have a schedule later. First of all, the Eberia side requested that they want to meet Kiyoung-ssi and Hayan-ssi personally… Kiyoung, rather than staying like this, you can go in if you’re not feeling well. Even if you don’t do this, the Three Kingdoms Alliance will come true without any major problems.”
“Haha. I am not here for the Three Kingdoms alliance.”
“Hyung-nim, are you not feeling well again?”
“It’s not like that, Deokgu. It’s as I said to Hyunsung, you don’t have to worry.”
“But…”
“It’s okay.”
Worries were coming from everywhere, which pleased me a lot. At this point, one of the guards came to announce.
“Princess Elena is entering.”
The door on the other side opened, and some elves appeared.
‘They came very quickly.’
I heard the news that they wanted to see us, but I couldn’t even imagine that they would come running to this place as soon as they arrived in the State.
It seemed like I really became the hero who saved the continent. When I looked at them smiling, I could feel that they were definitely different from humans.
Overall, they gave off a calming impression, and even their walk felt mysterious.
I had seen elves before, but they still had an exotic and mysterious appearance. I was blankly looking at them, so there would be no need for other expressions.
Among them, an elf appeared, wearing white cotton yarn.
Just by looking at the clothes she was wearing and the vibe she showed off, I could tell that she was Elena.
When I looked at her with the Mind’s Eyes, her information poured down right away.

[Attribute: A Sense of Looking at the Soul (Legendary)]
[She can feel the soul of others.]
[Overall: On the whole, she has a weak body, but she has great stats. Basically, the legendary class that can be classified as a priest class, Elune’s Guardian, and the legendary-grade attribute that can distinguish the soul’s cleansing stands out. Of course, player Lee Kiyoung does not have to test. The result is obvious.]
‘Ah… That was true. Fuck.’
Of course, I felt guilty, momentarily. Besides, I didn’t know how that attribute worked. The explanation was also very short and simple.
However, I started to get nervous at the comments of the overall review.
In the meantime, when I saw Elena taking off her cotton yarn, my anxiety began to dissipate little by little. She had hair of the same color as her emerald eyes. Her appearance was ridiculously overwhelming.
Although there was a sense of heterogeneity that her race itself was different, she was sufficiently beautiful from the point of view of human beauty.
‘This is crazy…’
No, I couldn’t define her with words, saying that she was simply a beauty.
I felt like I was seeing an entity that best matches the expression “beautiful.”
I was startled at the thought that I was staring too blankly, and I looked at Jung Hayan, but she was controlling herself, looking at the ring that I gave her. I knew the proposal I had made was indeed very helpful.
At this, Princess Elena began to speak.
“Nice to meet you, everyone. I’m Elena, from the Kingdom of Eberia. It’s a great honor to meet some of the most renowned heroes.”
It was like the sound of jade beads rolling over a silver tray. However, I pulled myself back without even realizing it.
Unlike my brain, which recognized her as beautiful, her voice somehow felt repulsive.
When everyone was silent, Kim Hyunsung was the first to greet her.
As he slowly lowered his head, I could see Elena lowering her head slightly. Whether he was acquainted with her or not had not yet been confirmed.
No matter how well I had gotten to know Kim Hyunsung, I couldn’t tell what emotions he was feeling just by looking from the back.
“I am Kim Hyunsung of the Blue Guild. I’m not enough, but I’m the master of the guild of heroes who saved Laios. It is an honor to meet you like this.”
“Blue Guild! I have heard of it. It’s the guild from the heroes that saved Laios. Ah… As expected.”
“Pardon me?”
“Yes… I see. Yes.”

At this, Princess Elena had begun nodding. Tears had even begun to fall from her face, all looking like glistening, teardrop-shaped jewels.
However, it is certainly bewildering to suddenly drop tears after holding Kim Hyunsung’s hand.
‘Is she feeling anything?’
I didn’t know in detail, but I think she had seen something in Kim Hyunsung’s soul.
I suspected that she saw Kim Hyunsung’s first round, but it didn’t seem like that. It was very different from saying that someone can look into the soul and look into the black world.
Even the explanation itself seen through the Mind’s Eyes was very simple.
Unlike my eyes or Kasugano’s eyes, it was correct to think that her attribute was not seeing something, but feeling.
“Oh, I’m sorry. To suddenly behave like this… I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine.”
“I did it suddenly… without noticing. I’m really sorry. I’m… sorry.”
Of course, apart from that, I didn’t get a sense of how to deal with this kind of case because no one usually shed tears right after a greeting.
If I could, I would ask openly what she was doing, but I couldn’t just say that. Although this wasn’t an official meeting, it was still a very important one.
It was then that Park Deokgu, who could not hold up his curiosity, opened his mouth.
“Did you just look into his soul?!”
“I’m sorry?”
“Well, everyone is saying that. That the high elf princess can see the soul and blah blah blah. In fact, I don’t believe in this kind of thing, but it was because you suddenly cried when you saw him. If you don’t want to say anything, you don’t have to. Still, I would like it if you say.”
Silence with a different meaning from before flowed.
I couldn’t even imagine that Park Deokgu would ask that kind of thing.
I wondered if it was diplomatic rudeness and looked at her in an anxious mind, but it seemed that she hadn’t really put it in her mind.
As Kim Hyunsung glanced at him, Park Deokgu began to lower his head quickly. In the meantime, Elena smiled slightly and shook her head.
“Deokgu-ssi.”
“Ah… Did I make a mistake? I-I’m sorry…”
“No. No. It’s fine, Kim Hyunsung, that’s okay. Rather, sorry for the late answer. In fact, I didn’t think you would ask me directly, so I thought about how to tell you. As expected, you’re very… pure and transparent.”
“Do you know me?”
“Of course. I only saw you through the Goddess’s Mirror… You’re actually the way I imagined. Huhu. Oh, you asked a question. I don’t know if this will be the correct answer, but I will try to answer it first.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Of course. It can’t be called a big secret anymore. Well… To be precise, it is not possible to look into the soul. I think it would be more accurate to say that I can feel it. The fact that I was rude before…”
“Is it because Hyunsung’s soul felt that way?”
“Yes. I think that expression is appropriate. Rather, I should apologize. I’m really sorry, Kim Hyunsung. I didn’t mean to know… I felt it without noticing.”
“No, Princess Elena. I understand.”
“Thank you for your understanding. If I made you uncomfortable…”
“Well, it’s not uncomfortable. I don’t know when its soul or anything like it, but isn’t it just like when we smell, taste, or see with our eyes?”
“Yes. That’s an appropriate expression.”
“Well, then it doesn’t matter. Ahem. Rather, it’s a good thing for us. You will be very surprised by seeing our Hyung-nim’s soul!”

As my anxiety began to rise, Park Deokgu’s confident remarks were a great spectacle.
‘Stop it, pig bastard.’
His sudden remarks forced me to step back a little, as quietly as I could.
