Calix was stunned as the old woman embraced him, crying loudly as if she saw her dead daughter... 

"W- Wait, ma'am, you need to calm down! I'm not your daughter, can't you see that I'm a man? I'm a he! My pronouns are he and him!"

He declared and pushed the woman. 

"Wuu wuuu wuuu wuuu..."

The woman wiped away her tears and looked at him. 

Indeed, this man was not her daughter. The only thing they had in common was the eyes, the green eyes like the forest... 

"I... I'm sorry."

She sniffed and stopped sobbing. Still, her heart was broken. It took her half an hour to calm down. 

Calix felt bad watching her cry. If he was right, this woman before him was her grandmother. He only met her once, and he was just a baby back then, so he didn't remember her. 

He pulled out a handkerchief.

"Ma'am, you can use this."

"Th-thank you."

She stopped crying and tried her best to smile. But it was obvious that she loved her daughter very much. 

"So... May I know who you are and why you are here on my property?"

"I'm a reporter from CNM and I want to interview you about the tragedies of your ancestors."

"I see, so it's the same guy again. I can't remember how many times this has happened lately." She frowned.

"The last time was a woman who asked me the same thing! But I'm not stupid. I know that they are just using the past crimes of the royal family to kick the current king off the throne!"

"Y-yes."

Calix nodded and agreed. He hadn't expected that the people were really crazy. They would bring back the crimes of the past to demonize the current government. Slavery was over, but some organizations used it to create division. 

"You're one of them, huh?"

The woman looked at him, this time a little questioningly. She had no respect for reporters and paparazzi. Most of the time, they would do anything just to get a good scoop. They didn't care about someone's privacy.

Her gaze was even heavy. Calix started to sweat as he realized that this woman was not easy.  

But in the end, she let him in.

"You can come in... About your kitten, wait, why do you have a kitten sleeping on your head anyway? Is that the latest fashion trend?"

"Ah no, this is my cat Mera and he likes to sleep on my shoulder and head, I don't dare to disturb his rest because he's cute."

"Miao~"

The kitten replied sleepily and fell asleep again. 

"A valid explanation."

She nodded. Even she would not disturb a cute sleeping kitten, she would rather take a picture. 

"But before that, I want to make things clear. What happened in the past has to stay in the past. We can't blame the current government for what happened back then."

"Alright."

Calix's real intention was to ask her grandmother about the Dark Elves, not to fan the flames. 

The two went into the living room and sat down at the table. Calix looked around and his eyes trembled as he saw something. 

"This is..."

"Oh, it's a picture of my family. Maybe you understand why I cried earlier. You look like my daughter, I'm sorry if I surprised you."

"No, it's okay."

Calix stared at the picture. He saw the picture of his young mother and his heart felt bitter. Even though he was a young boy when his mother died, he still missed her. 

Now he confirmed that this woman was his grandmother. 

'My grandfather died when I was 16 years old. My father wanted me to attend the funeral, but I was suffering from my backlash and didn't come...'

There were four people in the picture. His grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and mother. A family of four. They looked happy in the picture. 

He did his best not to cry. 

"My daughter loves to explore and she said she wanted to travel around the world. My husband and I didn't want that because the world is dangerous. In the end, we compromised by letting her study in Dellia, that country was safe..."

She pursed her lips. She hadn't expected her daughter to die like that. She wiped away her tears. 

"Anyway, let's start the interview and finish this early."

"Okay," Calix pulled out his notebook and pen.

"We heard that your family comes from the line of High Elves and Dark Elves, is that true?"

"Indeed. My husband has light brown skin because his ancestors are Dark Elves. As for me, I'm from the High Elves of Fate."

He scribbled on his notes. 

"Can I give you a scenario? Just to revive the history of the elves."

"Go ahead."

"If Dark Elves still exist, where do you think they are now? Is there a place where they can live freely without being discovered?"

"Like a paradise or a sanctuary?"

"Yes, like that."

"Hm, there was a story I heard from my husband when we were young. There is a holy place where Elves live, but it's just a myth."

"Can I know the name of this place?"

"It is called the World Tree. A sacred tree that the Elves worship."

"I see. Then--"

-- Ding!

Because Calix was too focused on questioning his grandmother, he never expected someone to actually approach the house. 

"Mom, it's me, Berto."

"Oh, that idiot son of mine! He never told me he was coming to visit."

Despite saying this, the woman looked happy as she opened the door. 

"How's your day, Mom?"

"Quiet, I have a reporter here. Let's talk later, okay? I will finish this quickly!"

Berto Alb entered the room and was stunned when he saw Calix. 

Just like Berto Alb, Calix was also shocked. 

Calix knew this guy! 

Berto Alb recognized him too! He was definitely sure!

They met in the Ancient Library!
