Moving onwards.
Perhaps deeper into enemy territory. The small party of humans trudged on with greater anticipation, they knew not whether the not group of elves would also prove to be hostile. Marvin, being of a weaker mind and will desired nothing more than to return to human lands, but the group was smart enough to realise the political consequences of doing so.
The elven queen herself had requested Duke Trichia's presence for the peace talks. If the kingdom of humanity refused such a simple request, especially after being the original aggressor between the two species. This could be utilized by the elves as one of their cards. It mattered not whether it was elves, monsters or beasts that attacked their party. In a world with no CCTV and hard evidence like photos. Their enemies could simply feign ignorance.
If by chance, a random pack of monsters managed to defeat the renowned duke, then, the humans simply only amounted to that much and weren't worthy of an alliance. Perhaps there was civil unrest within Via Marea, and the nobility disagreed with their monarch's decision, desiring revenge upon the humans.
Rosemi's mind continued to spin and spur upon the countless scenarios they could be caught in. Glancing over, Asai's stoic gaze calmed her mind. It seemed, whatever problems arose, Asai would simply solve it with his unyielding strength.
"Why do I get the feeling that humanity got the short end of the stick? Goddess Loha barely does anything for us, apart from regulating the rain and sun to assist with agriculture. Goddess Marea, literally buffs her children during battles. Count Jenson even told me that it was theorized that fighting against Rima Regenon was suicidal, especially when the moon was out, as it simply provided her with unlimited mana."
After a few more weeks of travel. The party entered the vicinity of a village. Rosemi offered to take the lead, entering the village and absorbing all gazes and scrutiny upon herself. Although the two kingdoms were recently at war. Some of the more informed elves had heard of their queen's invitation. Thus, the ones in charge of the village was quick to order everyone to act nice enough that they wouldn't anger Rima Regenon.
The women of the village slammed their doors shut, remaining out of side lest their spite causes trouble. The men, on the other hand, fell victim to Rosemi De Lumi's aesthetics that were extremely pleasing to the eyes of men. The outfit Rosemi wore for the occasion highlighted her feminine charms. Inducing the instincts of men to protect her. Unbeknownst to them, under her dress was multiple daggers and blades attached to her thighs.
"Excuse me, would you be so kind as to tell me where I am?" She performed a little curtsy that tugged at their heartstrings, as they caught a little glimpse of her cleavage. Fighting over one and another, they answered.
"This is Lunatos Village!" "We're just north of Marea's Temple. So there's hardly any monsters around here. You'll find it safe to stay here for the night to rest and respite!" "Our local breweries are famous around here, I could personally take you my lady for a few drinks?"
Rosemi blushed, and acted as if she was overwhelmed by the attention she was receiving. The women of the village were quick to tug and pull their men away. One was quick to apologise. It seemed, once they got an idea of the humans and that they didn't seem to be the rumoured blood-thirsty warmongers that stories depicted them as. Their guards lowered slightly.
This happened mostly because as beautiful as Rosemi De Lumix was, behind her was a man who was exceptionally handsome. As all things in life, it seemed pretty-privileges existed within this world too.
The village elder was quick to approach as soon as he heard the commotion. Being the smarter one, he addressed the humans.
"Sirs and Ladies, I humbly welcome you to our village. Please just call me Elder Melik. Since my people has already extended their invitations to you. Please do stay for the night. We have a spare house available, it might be a little small as it was only a mother and daughter pair who used to live there. As for your invitation from Her Majesty, I've already sent notice to the local garrison."
"Elder Melik, I thank you for your warm hospitality. I am Rosemi De Lumix, and this beside me is Duke Trichia who has been personally invited by Her Majesty Queen Rima Regenon. Concerning the garrison, will they be escorting us to the capital?" Rosemi performed another curtsy in politeness. Her eyes and hands, however, were ready for battle.
"T-that, please allow me to inquire for you. I will inform you as soon as possible." Melik wasn't sure why, but the beautiful gentle smile the human held before him sent shivers down his spine. As if someone was holding a blade to his neck.
Thankfully, this village was mostly peaceful. The small team of militia was only there to protect the well from being polluted by the ignorant children.
"Please, follow me." The elder walked on, into the village.
Asai was absorbing his surroundings. Most of the elves were all above level 30. He couldn't exactly remember the levels of the elven levies he had fought during the war. So he wondered whether they were born at an advantage, stronger than humans, or were these the remnants of the village since their weaker members were sent to death?

Inspecting more closely, he found the elves to be just like the humans. If it weren't for the ears, he honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference. They came in all shapes and sizes, slim and tall, ugly and handsome, just like the humans did.
Upon entering the small wooden house that was to be their stay for the time being. Asai noticed how cramp it actually was, for six people that was. However, as adventurers who had slept in impossible locations, like caves, cliff-sides, hidden between two large rocks etc. They were more than happy to have a roof over their heads.
Asai and Rosemi would share the only bedroom, whilst the four would make do with the living room/kitchen.
Just to be safe.
