I like the story so far, usually I prefer F/m and female elves and male humans in your stories but I like it so far. It's nice to see an elf who isn't a sadist to humans and not crush them or eat them for fun, the only other one I've seen in your stories is Essira. Though I can't help but wonder, why would those human mercernaies want to fight for elves given what they did to the Albar Empire? Why would they want anything to do with them? Hasn't it occured to them that they are likly going to come for the rest of the humans and them next?
