The news of Loki's exile spread throughout Elbaf with the dispersing crowd.
Wine Village.
The most luxurious fortress.
Belonging to the rulers of this place—the Allen family, who carried the blood of the Ancient Giants.
Allen Ettrick rushed excitedly into his sister's room. Seeing his sister's pale face and distracted state, his heart ached.
It was all because of that bastard Loki that his sister became like this.
However, after today, it won't be like this anymore.
Thinking of this, Ettrick said excitedly: "Estrid, Loki, no, that monster has been personally exiled to the Underworld by Harald! Unless Harald permits, he can never return to the Sun Realm."
Hearing this, Estrid, who was originally somewhat dazed, visibly improved in complexion, looking at Ettrick with surprise: "Brother, is this true?"
Ettrick: "It's true. I saw with my own eyes Loki, Raideen, and the others heading to the Underworld."
"Ahahahaha~ This is a good thing!" Estrid jumped up like a carp, sat in front of the dressing table, and began to draw her eyebrows and paint her lips.
"Estrid, what are you doing?"
"Putting on makeup. Loki is a demon born under the influence of prophecy. I'm going to give Harald another child."
Estrid's tone carried expectations for the future.
Since Loki couldn't return to the Sun Realm, she naturally wanted to go back and be the Queen.
"..." Ettrick wanted to persuade her, but thinking of the royal family's treasures, he closed his mouth again.
Besides, apart from the girls of their Allen family, who is worthy of being Harald's Queen?
Estrid finished her makeup quickly, mounted the eight-legged horse Sleipnir, and galloped all the way towards Orst Castle.
Arriving at the castle, Estrid was stopped by the guards.
"Queen Estrid, please stop."
"Get out of the way, don't block me." Estrid charged in with big strides.
"Wait, Queen Estrid, it's really not suitable for you to go in right now!!" The guards tried desperately to stop her.
But Estrid possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Giants after all. Her foundation was truly good, tall and strong.
Plus, the guards dared not use lethal force against this former Queen.
Estrid rampaged all the way and successfully reached the innermost part of the palace.
Click!
The heavy door was pushed open.
Estrid, looking somewhat disheveled, smiled brightly: "Harald, let's have a baby! This time it will definitely not be like..."
Inside the room.
Harald and Ida, who were embracing each other, stiffened.
Estrid's smile also froze, looking at this scene in disbelief: "You two!! Harald, you betrayed me! Her bloodline is not as strong as mine, she's not as tall as me, her figure is not as good as mine, and there's also..."
"Shut up, Estrid."
Harald's mood, which had just improved a little, sank again: "I haven't come to find you yet, and you dare to come find me?!"
"Even if Loki's appearance is different from ordinary people and his physique is powerful, he is ultimately an infant. As Loki's biological mother, you dared to throw him into the Underworld just after he was born, murdering a member of the royal family. From today on, you are no longer the Queen of Elbaf, and you are never allowed to take half a step out of the Wine Village! Otherwise, I will exile you to the Underworld!"
If Loki had been born to Ida.
He wouldn't have been stimulated at birth, but cared for by Ida.
He would definitely not be like he is now.
"What?!" Estrid couldn't believe what she heard, screaming: "Loki will kill you in the future. I threw him into the Underworld for your sake. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you actually want to punish me?"
"What?" This time it was Ida who was shocked, looking at Estrid in disbelief.
She thought Estrid couldn't accept Loki's appearance being different from ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, it was for an ethereal prophecy that she threw her newborn son into the Underworld.
Is this really a human?
Hearing the cause of the problem clearly, Harald became even angrier. Under the intense emotion, veins bulged on his face: "As a father, if I die at the hands of my son, it must be because I did something unforgivable in the future! That's why Loki would draw his sword against me."
"Loki inherited your talent, and even he knows to verify the truth of the prophecy first, then find a way to change the future."
"And you, a mentally sound adult, only know how to blindly follow prophecies, not even as good as Loki, an infant. You are unworthy of being Loki's mother. Guards, throw this woman out for me!!!"
"Ahhhhh~"
After a chaotic flurry, the castle returned to quiet.
"Ida, it was a mistake for me to listen to the Council of Elders and marry this woman back then." Harald couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't cling to the past."
Ida gently stroked Harald's chest and changed the subject: "Tell me, Harald, why did you do this today?"
"Actually, I think Loki's statements and actions have a certain necessity. The World Government is not kind."
"Then why did you still exile Loki to the Underworld?" Ida was puzzled.
A look of distress appeared on Harald's face: "You know, I have always disliked those outdated customs, conservative traditions, and the brutal atrocities of warriors. These cultures hinder Elbaf's connection with the outside world."
Ida rolled her eyes charmingly: "They are hindering you from marrying me, right?"
"That's just part of it." Harald chuckled.
Ida took the opportunity to sincerely advise: "But Harald, the pride of a warrior is not a problem. I appreciate this point. You should also be proud of your own culture, instead of listening to me for everything. I'm not necessarily always right."
Harald didn't refute as usual, but nodded instead: "Yes, the warrior blood of Elbaf has never been extinguished. Once something happens, it will erupt, just like this incident. Therefore, Loki is the second possibility I left for Elbaf, Ida."
"Warriors, traditions, strength—these sharp edges belonging to Elbaf belong to the Underworld, polished by wind and snow; peace, knowledge, communication—this part stays in the Sun Realm, and I will guide the formation of a new order."
"From today on, Elbaf will become an existence with two sides, influencing and depending on each other."
"If one day I really bring disaster to Elbaf as Loki predicted, or I myself do something unforgivable."
"Loki can also bring everyone from the Underworld to end my rule and create a different future."
Ida's eyes sparkled as she listened: "As expected of you, Harald. A genius idea. But in this way, you will bear a lot of misunderstandings."
"It doesn't matter. As long as you understand, and Loki understands, it's fine."
"I will visit him often."
"Then I'll trouble you. That child doesn't like me very much."
"Who told you to exile him to the Underworld as soon as you came back?"
