Kant had a better understanding of the loneliness of being a monarch in these days.
Perhaps this was also due to his requirements on himself. In front of a talented politician, it also required a certain level of sacrifice in order to obtain what he wanted.
In contrast, the Elven King next door seemed to be much better off.
Just as Kant was thinking about the differences between himself and the Elven King, the Elven King unexpectedly came to visit.
The news reached the palace a few days before the Elven King and his people arrived at the city gate of the Caradia Empire.
“Why is it so sudden?” Kant thought to himself after listening to the messenger.
The Elf Kingdom and the Caradia Empire could be said to be on par with each other.
Moreover, the two countries often had military and commercial exchanges. It could be said that their relationship was solid.
Even if the other party announced their sudden visit, the Elven King was the ruler of a country and had traveled thousands of miles to come here. Kant had to go to the city gate to welcome them.
After instructing his subordinates to make relevant preparations.
Kant rode his horse on the day of the Elven King’s visit and led the entire guard team to the city gate to welcome them.
The Elven King probably did not expect Kant to come personally. When he saw Kant in person, he could not help but be pleasantly surprised.
The two of them rode on horseback and reminisced about the past. On horseback, they talked about the development of the Elf Kingdom and Cumberland.
After arriving at the palace, Kant invited the Elven King to the senate hall to take a seat. He also asked the attendants to prepare tea to relieve the heat.
The two of them sat opposite each other and rested for a while.
Kant finally opened his mouth and asked, “Is there something very important that your highness has personally come here?”
“I’ve come this time mainly for two things. The first is to express my belated congratulations to the Caradia Empire. The second is to explain to you, Lord Kant, for this belated congratulations.” the Elven King did not delay any further, he directly replied.
“It has been more than three months since the founding of the Caradia Kingdom. Your Highness wanted to visit personally, but you couldn’t be able to arrive in time. It must be because you have some matters to attend to. May I know what kind of predicament the Elf Kingdome has encountered?” Kant asked.
In his heart, he had a vague feeling that the troubles the Elf Kingdom had encountered were also related to the Caradia Empire.
“This predicament has something to do with Cumberland.” the Elven King glanced at Kant with appreciation, he continued, “The Elf Kingdom’s seaport has been built for more than a hundred years. During this period, every sixty years, we will follow the instructions of the Dwarf Kingdom’s craftsmen and invite them to come and carry out maintenance inspections. This is a custom that must be followed by the countries that employ dwarf craftsmen. However, we haven’t been able to contact the people of the Dwarf Kingdom this year.”
Kant was slightly surprised when he heard the words ‘Dwarf Kingdom’ and waited until he had heard everything the Elven King had to say. Kant couldn’t help but mention, “I heard that the people of the Dwarf Kingdom have moved away from their original place. Perhaps…”
The Elven King listened to Kant’s words, he shook his head and said, “They moved away because the Beastman tribe has occupied their estate. I know that too. The dwarfs sent us a letter informing us of their new address, but when we went to look for them according to their address, we couldn’t find them.”
“I didn’t expect that they moved to avoid a war.” Kant asked in surprise, “Then where did they go?”
“We don’t know that either. The investigation has been going on for several months, but we still haven’t gotten any results. So, I want to borrow the power of the Caradia Empire to help find their traces,” the Elven King pleaded.
Kant frowned as he thought. He recalled the time when he stayed in Cumberland. The days he spent with Vivian and the dwarven craftsmen. He recalled the meaningful gazes in the eyes of the other dwarven craftsmen whenever they looked at Vivian.

Now, everything made sense when combined with the facts of the time.
Vivian’s hand must have been injured during the battle. Although the dwarves were harsh in their words, they were actually kind-hearted. They did not like fighting and were rather timid. For them, it was better to cherish their hands, give up the land, and build a new home somewhere else.
Vivian should be one of the few dwarfs who resolutely resisted and participated in the actual fight. In the eyes of the other dwarfs who gave up resisting, even if she was treated as an alien, she should be loved, and respected.
Therefore, when Vivian became the leader, no dwarfs would want to disobey her orders.
Kant pieced together all the previous memories.
The dwarven craftsmen had indeed inadvertently brought many twists and turns to Cumberland.
Kant did not know how deep the bond between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Elf Kingdom was. It was able to make the Elven King travel in the desert for nearly half a month to come to Caradia to ask for help.
However, with Kant’s temperament, since he knew that such a thing had happened to the people who had helped him, he would not sit idly by.
After thinking for a while, Kant said solemnly to the Elven King, “I have worked with the dwarven craftsmen for a period of time. Since they might be in danger, Caradia will definitely help to investigate the matters. Your Highness, you don’t have to worry.”
“Thank you, Lord Kant.” the Elven King finally relaxed his nervous expression. “Thank you,” he said to Kant.
There should be a banquet prepared for his highness in the palace at night.
At that time, the ministers of both countries would be invited.
Thinking of this, Kant did not ask the Elven King about the current information the Elf Kingdom had. Instead, he instructed him to return to his residence and rest.
After all, it was not too early.
The Elven King understood Kant’s meaning. After bidding farewell to each other, he let the guards lead the way out of the palace.
The palace was brightly lit at night.
Kant was once again shocked by the decoration department’s ability.
After putting on his luxurious clothes, he walked to the banquet hall, wondering if he should dismiss this group of people from the decoration department.
When they stepped through the door of the banquet hall, the ministers of the two countries who were originally sitting stood up and saluted Kant.
Kant waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down.
Then, he walked up the stairs and sat on the main seat. Next to his table was the seat of the Elven King.
“Your Highness.”
Hearing the greetings from the crowd, Kant raised his head and looked at the door.
The Elven King walked in wearing a yellow brocade robe.
Kant gestured for his attendant to come down and receive the Elven King.
The Elven King did not seem to know where his seat was. He waited until the guard walked up to him and respectfully invited him to take a seat before walking towards Kant with a smile on his face.
