A Father's Request

Selma Payne's POV:

It was said that the western part of the elven territory was more developed than the eastern part, and the northern part was more lively than the southern part.

The first city-state we arrived at was called Chena City. It was named after the family of the ruler. Compared to the four cities of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, which had become ghost cities, or other slightly desolate small southern cities, this was a completely different world. The place's liveliness and modernization made me feel like I was in some advanced pack. However, the people here all had a pair of pointed ears.

From what I could remember, or rather, from what most people in the outside world could remember, the elves were a conservative and self-isolated race. That was why news articles mentioned the elves often included images of a group of elves hunting in the forest with bows in their hands. It was as if they were acting in some movie set in the old era.
