The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

120 – Enemies Everywhere (8)

“Are you saying there is a traitor among us?”

Chloe hugged his head with a distressed expression.

Recently, there was a chaotic atmosphere in Helwood Forest due to the demon lord’s army.

A situation like a bomb that never knows when it will explode.

Chloe’s face, who had to lead the elves, looked worried.

How would you feel if you heard that there was a traitor in the elven village?

“Yes. I don’t know if I was betrayed or brainwashed.”

I can’t be specific, but I’m sure it’s not just one or two.

A great division could occur among the elves.

After all, Lucas had all the evidence.

“First of all, very few elves can use seduction.”

“When can I check?”

“Another scouting party is due to arrive tomorrow morning. Among them, there are those who can use seduction.”

Two days at the earliest. It took longer than expected.

We don’t have time, but we can’t just rush.

I decided to stay in the elven village for about two days.

“First, we will put the traitor in prison.”

“No. We’ll protect Lucas.”

As soon as the rumor that a traitor exists spreads throughout the village, the traitors hiding in the elven village will move.

I had virtually no one to trust. If Lucas ran away, there wouldn’t be such a mess, so we had to hold on.

“Don’t worry. Sister. I will keep guard…”

“You stay still.”

At Chloe’s words, Tyria shrank again.

Since she brought an uninvited guest without a word of advice, she deserved a scolding.

Tyria probably didn’t know that in the first place.

Even now, I can’t even make a sound and just look at it.

“Anyway, we plan to find the traitor and go back. Don’t worry, I don’t intend to cause trouble.”

“Yes. Thank you so much for your cooperation.”

Fortunately, Chloe doesn’t intend to kick us out either.

“Excuse me, but would it be all right if I moved?”

“Where are you going?”

“The center of the World Tree. It is our mansion. I think it would be better to continue the story there.”

Even though he is an unwanted guest, is he willing to treat him?

Chloe nodded at Chloe’s suggestion, and Chloe stood up from her seat and grabbed Tyria’s forearm.

“Come to my room later.”

“Ugh… “

Tyria nodded her head in a dejected voice.

I had already made up my mind, but I couldn’t avoid being scolded.

Still, thanks to Tyria, she was able to safely enter the elven village, so she was grateful.

“Don’t do that too much. Because I suggested it in the first place.”

It might not help much, but she didn’t want to see Tyria get too scolded.

Above all, Tyria’s choice was not wrong.

What would happen if you rejected my offer?

Hellwood Forest was occupied by the demon lord’s army, and I might have had no choice but to watch.

Tyria doesn’t know, but she has a chance to escape her crisis by her choice.

After that, she came out of the guard post with Chloe’s guide.

When I opened the door and went outside, I was able to face many eyes.

“This is a human…!”

“It really is a pair of a man and a woman!”

“Lady Chloe! What the hell is this…?!”

I could already hear the buzz outside the building.

Dozens of people are barely visible. Dozens of eyes gathered to see me.

‘Does the number of elves still remain?’

According to the information I found out in advance, there was a large-scale migration in Hellwood Forest.

However, there were quite a few people who had not yet left their hometowns.

Of course, it was impossible for them to be able to stop the Demon King’s army.

“Everyone, be quiet. The reason humans came is to help us.”

Even Chloe’s words did not calm the angry voices of the elves.

Hostility and vigilance. Or curiosity and favor. My ears hurt at the voice mixed with various emotions.

In the end, I decided to follow Chloe and move from place to place, half ignoring it.

Meanwhile, Erina frowned in discomfort.

From start to finish, I could sense that he was fiddling with the hilt.

She noticed her complexion and gently covered her ears.

“I’m sorry. Is it too noisy?”

“Yes, I hate it. I think the bugs are buzzing.”

“Still, be patient with me. Got it?”

As I stroked Erina’s head, the elves burst into exclamation.

Even among her elves, Erina’s good looks definitely drew attention.

The reaction of the elves, who are especially curious about us, was striking.

“Hey, I think we need to move quickly to avoid a commotion.”

As the Elves’ commotion grew, Tyria started to urge us from behind her.

Fortunately, it wasn’t far from the central building.

The largest wooden building in town. The residence where Tyria and Chloe live.

I was guided to a huge two-story mansion.

Ignoring the clamor following us, we headed inside the house.

The loud atmosphere subsided as the huge front door closed.

“Sorry. It was so noisy.”

“No. I was prepared for this.”

“First, let me guide you to the banquet hall. Please follow me.”

The huge mansion was quite desolate for its size.

Every time I walked down the hallway, footsteps echoed. Dust was piled up all over the place as if it hadn’t been properly maintained.

“Is there anyone?”

Chloe shook her head at the self-talking question.

“No. There is one more. My older sister Aria, she is waiting for you at the banquet hall.”

“Ah, Aria-nee is here too…”

Tyria smiled meaningfully with a low voice.

I wonder if she is not very welcome even though it is her own family. Even the way she spoke was awkward.

She already knew why.

‘The division of the elven village.’

To be precise, the conflict between the three sisters was an accurate expression.

How will the three sisters accept me and Erina?

Tyria had a little crush on her, but the other two didn’t know yet.

There was a good chance things could get messed up by Chloe and Aria.

“Come on. Im here.”

Passing through the hallway and entering was a fairly stylish space.

A huge table and lots of vases. A gorgeous candlestick.

It seemed to remind us that flowers and wood can be used to splendidly decorate.

And there was someone waiting for us at the banquet hall.

“Ah… !”

The woman whose eyes met mine let out a weak moan.

Similar appearance to Chloe. But unlike her, she had round eyes and a golden ponytail.

The woman in front of me had a blunt look and her slender body was standing in a calm posture.

‘He’s taller than I thought.’

He is about the same height as me. Compared to Tyria, her head was different.

Aria. The eldest of three sisters. Nominal chieftain of Hellwood Forest.

I was finally able to meet the leaders of all the elves.

“Bar, nice to meet you. My name is Aria… !”

He approached me first and asked for a handshake. But her thin hands were trembling.

Are you afraid of me? I pretended to be as calm as possible and accepted it with a smile.

“Nice to meet you. The kingdom’s scouting party, Seohyeon.”

Light handshakes and greetings. The first greeting ended with a brief eye contact.

Less than a second later, Eiria hurriedly retrieved her hand.

‘As expected, I’m very timid.’

The eldest daughter, Elia, had the weakest character among the three.

Since I’ve never been to the village before, this must be the first time I’ve seen a human.

There was a high probability that they were only looking at me with ugly rumors about humans.

She cast her gaze at Chloe, accepting the awkward gaze.

Chloe noticed at the right time and continued responding naturally.

“Sit here. I will prepare fruit and tea.”

“No. Thank you, but I’ll decline.”

Her honesty made her question even food or water.

If the food was poisoned by the traitor, something big might happen.

Of course, Erina wouldn’t budge even if she ate poison.

“I see… Then, let’s get straight to the point.”

Negotiations proceeded while sitting together in the banquet hall.

The personnel are me and Erina. The three elven sisters.

There is also Lucas who fainted, but should we put that aside for now?

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The meeting started with Aria’s trembling voice.

“First of all, I heard that there is a traitor in the elven village.”

While the guards were scrambling, word quickly spread throughout the elven village.

In just an hour, our existence and purpose became known.

“Yes. And this man knows the whole truth.”

All eyes focused on Lucas, who was limp and tied to a chair.

I still haven’t woken up from how hard Kayla knocked me out.

“It is questionable whether the truth can be known through seduction, but if the traitor is revealed…”

“I need to put him in jail right now and figure out what happened.”

Chloe was right. Even now, information was leaking out to the Demon King’s army.

“But that means there are still traitors…”

“Maybe the news will reach the demon king army.”

The moment we heard the news that we, the kingdom’s scouting party, had succeeded in contacting the elves.

It was obvious what kind of reaction the demon king would take.

“Even knowing that fact, Tyria brought these people.”

Tyria protested in her ant-like voice at the words that pierced her to the point.

“However, the Demon King’s army can’t just withdraw…”

“For now, be quiet. Tyria.”

From noble mtl dot com

Chloe’s voice contained anger. Noticing that fact, Tyria hurriedly shut her mouth.

Looking at her appearance, Eiria let out a small sigh.

The atmosphere is too cold for a family conversation.

I felt a sense of distance as if we were blocked by a wall.

I was the only one who could mediate between them.

“First of all, there is something I want to say. We must prevent the demon king’s army from occupying Hellwood Forest.”

“… “

“And you guys want to protect your hometown too. Is not it?”

“Yes. We also do not want to leave our hometown.”

“Haven’t the elves already asked for help from the kingdom?”

“…Though Tyria’s dogma.”

Chloe barely nodded. His expression was full of displeasure.

As expected, Tyria was the one who requested cooperation from the kingdom.

However, the other two sisters seem to have very different thoughts.

In particular, Chloe raised her head with a disgruntled expression.

“I will be honest. I did not seek cooperation.”

“May I ask why?”

“I don’t think you will help us for nothing.”

In a way, it was natural. On the surface, it was cooperation, but in reality it was no different from asking for help from the elves.

As much as the help was given, the kingdom had to be rewarded to make ends meet.

In this situation, what are the rewards and price the elves can give?

‘The power and resources of the World Tree.’

Numerous wood products and special products derived from a sacred tree that holds tremendous magical power.

Until now, elves are the only power that has been able to maintain their own civilization.

To think that human hands are reaching out to the World Tree, the medium of faith.

From the point of view of the elves, it was a shame worse than death.

“Then what do you plan to do next?”

“We have the power to stop the demon lords.”

Tyria’s expression stiffened at Chloe’s words.

Also, it was the same with Aria. She interrupted Chloe in a calm voice.

“Chloe. Do you seriously think so… ?”

“Yes. We are enough.”

“But I heard the situation on the battlefield. Things aren’t that good…”

“Unlike my older sister, who knows nothing about it, I have encountered the Demon Lord Army.”

Chloe shot Airia with a cold tone.

The atmosphere froze in an instant. It was practically a declaration of war.

In the meantime, Airia’s eyes sharpened as if she had made up her mind.

“Chloe. Stop being useless.”

“It is not for nothing. The Demon King…”

“Parom and Robbie Forest have already been taken over. It might be our next turn.”

Airia raises her voice in frustration.

However, Chloe responded with a calm tone.

“Hellwood Forest is different. If we use the rugged mountain range, the Demon King’s army will never be able to defeat us.”

“Chloe, please… !”

“Your sister doesn’t know. It was always confined to the village.”

The two seemed unwilling to stop in the gradually overheated argument.

In an atmosphere of tension, Aria glared at Chloe.

She didn’t lose to Chloe and met her gaze.

“As the village chief, this is an order. In a week, all elves will leave Hellwood Forest and migrate.”

“No. We must fight to defend our homeland!”

Aria’s unilateral notice. Chloe then slammed her table violently.

She gnashed her teeth as if that was absolutely unacceptable.

“You mean you run away without a proper fight!”

“It’s not about running away! Also, the elves of the Bern Forest have contacted us saying that they are accepting us!”

“Why don’t you know their intentions! They will turn us into lower classes!”

“Not so! We must leave for the Bern Forest and start a new life!”

“We have nowhere else to go but here!”

Eventually, we reached a point where we couldn’t make any concessions.

Like the enemies of the single tree bridge, Aria and Chloe did not back down.

The moment one side gives up their stubbornness, the fate of the elves is sealed.

In the midst of the high voices going back and forth to each other, I just watched.

‘As expected, I can’t overlook this event.’

The fight between Aria and Chloe.

Will you abandon your hometown and move as Aeria said?

Will you fight against the demon army as Chloe said?

No one knows which one is the right choice.

In the meantime, Tyria, who was just watching, met eyes.

“I’m sorry…”

Tyria, who was watching between her two sisters, shrank.

A painful expression, as if she would burst into tears any moment.

At the voice of her youngest sister, Eiria bowed her head towards me, perhaps realizing the situation.

“I’m sorry. I showed you my ugly side…”

“No. Are you okay.”

As the fate of the elf was at stake, I could fully understand the confrontation between the two sisters.

Although Erina gave a boring gaze as if it was annoying.

During a moment of silence, Aria was looking at me.

Then she finally looked at me as if she had made up her mind and opened her lips.

“Seohyun. Thank you so much for helping us out. But we have decided not to accept help from the Kingdom.”

“Do you mean to revoke the request for cooperation?”

“Yes. I’m really sorry, but could you convey our wishes to the kingdom?”

As expected, Aria decided to refuse the Kingdom’s cooperation.

Although the meaning is different, it was the same for Chloe.

Neither sister wanted the kingdom to intervene.

In this situation, the main character had only one option.

Quietly leaving the elven village. After that, cooperation with the elves went through the water.

However, if it is a hidden option, the story will be different.

“Okay. Apparently, Tyria has a different idea.”

She naturally looked at Tyria, who was sitting next to me.

Tyria was taken aback by my words and turned her head towards me.

“What do you think?”

My green eyes began to tremble at my question.
