The Unicorn's True Identity

The Unicorn's True Identity

"Money is the big problem now. Have they left already?" William clapped his hands and asked Nock.

Nock shook his hook axe and nodded. "The merchant caravans have all left. They also left behind all the goods they brought, saying they were gifts for you, my lord."

"They're perceptive youngsters. Worth keeping an eye on." William smiled faintly and waved for Nock to send those cheap goods into the newly built warehouse.

"So many slaves... There isn't that much money in the territory. Will we have to get ruthless when the time comes?" Lotner gestured across his throat.

William glanced at his practiced motion and shook his head. "Businessmen should naturally think long-term. We have plenty of Mithril, so we can sell some. Tomorrow, come with me to Blue Moon Town near Blue Moon Lake to sell some Mithril."

"Blue Moon Lake? That might not be a good idea..." Lotner swallowed.

William did not quite understand and gave him a puzzled look...

After all, Blue Moon Lake was a very familiar place to him. He had gone there often in his previous life and never encountered any problems. When trading with Elves, as long as you were Handsome, you could get a discount.

And he had indeed been rather handsome in his previous life. There was no question about his looks. He had even been qualified to become a male Angel, a peerlessly beautiful man.

Unfortunately, he was not one of the Winged Folk, so he never got the chance to let those Angels admire his exquisite face up close.

But Lotner's explanation made William twitch the corner of his mouth, leaving him somewhat dazed...

Blue Moon Lake in Blackleaf Forest was not far from here, only a little over a hundred li away. It was an Elf city with more than forty thousand residents. The entire town had been formed from trees altered by magic. Blue Moon Lake was not merely one lake, but dozens of lakes in different colors linked together in orderly layers, gradually forming the shape of a full moon.

Whenever night fell, it looked from high above as though a full moon had been embedded in the earth. Especially at night, when the lake water gave off a faint mist due to the warmer temperatures, Blue Moon Lake became even more dazzlingly beautiful, like a fairyland.

Blue Moon Town was not home only to Black Leaf Elves. There were also six or seven thousand Moonlight Elves.

As for why there were five thousand Moonlight Elves here, it was because the little princess of the Moonlight Elven Royal Family was here. Three thousand of them were her personal guards, while the others had various duties and tasks.

In short, their main purpose was to accompany that little princess...

According to the Black Leaf Elven Royal Family, Blue Moon Town temporarily belonged to the Moonlight Elf princess.

And as it happened.

William actually had a grudge with that little princess...

Did you think this was some clichéd broken-engagement story?

No!

This Half-Elf was not even qualified to have an engagement broken off.

It was simply that, when William was young, he had scared away the second great opportunity that little princess would never encounter again in her life...

A Unicorn!

What was a Unicorn?

It was not a white horse with a horn on its head.

It was a magical creature with beautiful wings, hooves that stepped upon seven-colored rainbows, a horn upon its head, and the strength to crush super magical beasts. It was a supreme creature capable of rivaling Dragons!

Back then.

Little William had come to wander around Blue Moon Lake...

And by chance, he saw a small winged horse approaching that little princess...

Under normal circumstances, whether human or Elf, anyone favored by a magical Unicorn was extraordinarily fortunate—no less than receiving a personal blessing from the Goddess of Fortune...

Yet Little William had charged out like a madman, apparently intending to touch that little horse.

And so.

The Unicorn flapped its wings and flew away.

Because of that, the little princess of the Moonlight Elven Clan had nearly led three thousand personal guards to beat him to death...

"Wait, she's the little princess of the Moonlight Elves. Why is she in Blackleaf Forest?" William raised a brow.

When Lotner saw that he had avoided the main point, he knew William had lost his memories and did not take the matter seriously.

Still, he could only reply, "The Black Leaf Elven Royal Family has always intermarried with the Moonlight Elven Royal Family. This little princess is the representative of this generation's marriage alliance.

Of course, marriage alliances between Elven Royal Families are not as rigid as those among human nobles.

We do not force anyone into marriage. A marriage without love is simply locking two people inside a suffocating tomb.

So this little princess has continued living here, waiting for her destined one. After all, we live very long lives..."

"So she must be ugly. Why put it so tactfully?" William curled his lip, his eyes carrying a trace of disdain. It was only a Unicorn—was there any need to hold a grudge against him for life? He was a man who would ride Dragons in the future!

"No!" Lotner objected firmly for the first time. With a faintly wistful look, he recalled, "The little princess is as beautiful as a goddess. Even compared to your mother, she is no less striking. She has many suitors, and many princes have personally made their attempts.

Playing the piano beneath the moon, reciting poetry, competing in swordsmanship and archery...

In short, all sorts of things. Yet none of them won her heart.

Of course, compared to your mother, the little princess still lacks much in temperament."

"Oh..." William nodded thoughtfully. He ignored the steward who had gone mad dreaming of becoming his stepfather, because he knew that was impossible.

Still, there was no way for him to stop Lotner from fantasizing...

He had visited Blue Moon Town in his previous life, but he truly had not known there was a little princess at Blue Moon Lake. Blue Moon Town had few forbidden areas for Elves, but it was heavily guarded against Chosen Ones like them.

More likely, the little princess had already married or returned to Moonlight Forest by then.

For players, aside from beautiful, scantily clad single mature women, every other beauty who had married would lose her appeal...

There was nothing to be done about it. Male players were just that straightforward...

After all, married beauties could not provide them with erotic illustrations, so what was there to miss?

"Then we'll go to Blue Moon Lake tomorrow." William clapped his hands and made the decision.

Lotner twitched the corner of his mouth. "Shouldn't we choose another place? I'm afraid that once you enter the town, you won't be able to come back out..."

"It's fine, don't worry!" William patted him on the shoulder and ignored him.

Not even Lotner understood a divine creature as magical as a Unicorn.

But William did...

A true Unicorn possessed a Legendary Bloodline. One of its talents was invisibility...

Its second talent was mind reading...

Back then, William had definitely not truly scared the Unicorn away. Perhaps he had merely frightened it into turning invisible. After all, when a Unicorn truly chose to approach a girl, it would not easily give up.

The Unicorn simply did not want anyone else to see it, much less approach it.

Otherwise, would that proud Princess Yuexi have let him off so easily?

How could that be possible...

Just think about her three thousand personal guards.

Then think about his own five hundred personal guards.

Just how spoiled must her father have made her?

Thinking of this, William felt so angry!

If he ever had the chance, he would definitely point at the Moonlight Elf King and curse him out. Parents who spoiled their children were not good parents. He could completely take on that pressure for the little princess!

If nothing unexpected had happened, Princess Yuexi was probably already inseparable from the Unicorn, seeing every man as a disgusting bastard.

After all, with the Unicorn's ability, she could easily sense the filthy hearts of those men...

Whether male humans or male Elves, when pursuing a mate, they could not avoid having some slightly perverted thoughts.

And to a Unicorn, such thoughts were utterly filthy.

Then a girl who could communicate mentally with a Unicorn could naturally detect such things as well.

Just imagine it: you handsome, dashing Elf princes seemed elegant on the surface, but were actually perverts at heart. Could a little princess who had never dated, never held hands, and never even kissed anyone not develop psychological trauma?

It could basically be said.

Princess Yuexi, who had obtained a Unicorn early on, was destined to die alone in this life.

Or rather.

Any girl favored by a Unicorn would spend the rest of her life this way...

If William had not known that Unicorns had no gender and could not transform into humans, he would have suspected that they were some kind of lustful beasts that had placed curses on beautiful girls...
