Airi was not surprised by this turn of events. What did surprise her was that the elf girl had actually dared to come begging for help—wasn't she a teacher in her previous life? Was her intelligence really this low? One side was a race that had already been exterminated and wasn't even human. The other was a powerful witch who stood with humanity. Any ruler with a functioning brain would know which side to choose.
Airi had originally thought the elf girl would find somewhere to hide. She hadn't expected her to be foolish enough to deliver herself right to their door... Well, then she couldn't blame Airi.
Japanese people were just like this. They had no sense of political reality and approached everything with nothing but wishful thinking.
Airi remembered a joke Fang Zheng had heard in his previous life. An American had told a person from Japan about the French Revolution, but the other person simply couldn't understand it. Finally, the American got annoyed and directly asked, "What if your emperor were debauched and immoral, completely indifferent to the lives of the people, and reduced the whole country to misery? What would you do?"
The person from Japan thought for a long time before answering, "In that case, we would have no choice but to kneel before the emperor and beg him to change his heart..."
Same bloodline, same way of thinking.
In the elf girl's eyes, Airi had exterminated the elves and committed an unforgivable crime. Therefore, if she came to ask for help, the human King would definitely help her—
When she followed that line of reasoning, she had completely forgotten about the endless child trafficking cases the elves had carried out within the Kingdom of Valbania. Or perhaps, to her, that was not a problem
