The elf elders, upon hearing the queen's plan to bide their time for a few years, exchanged looks of understanding but stayed silent. It was clear that the power of the ruling duke was formidable. So much so, even the queen, blessed by the gods and with an exceptional talent who broke through to legendary status at a young age, had no option but to yield.
Of course, if Dilara ordered them to wage war against the current Lockman Kingdom, they would have tried to dissuade her. Nobody relishes waging a war they are certain to lose; a war that could potentially lead to the extinction of their kind.
Now, the queen seemed to have understood this, planning to lay low during the Golden Dragon's reign, and only resume their invasions after its departure. This was clearly a wise decision.
It was only a waste of time, and as eternal life beings, what they had in abundance was time. So they could wait and see how long the Golden Dragon intended to rule.
