It was a complete replica of her bedroom in the south wing. She squinted at the man sitting on the single sofa in the master bedroom reading a book. "Tell me honestly, how long have you been planning this?"

The man glanced at the time. "It's getting late. Let's go to sleep."

Li Aili: "..." It seems to be quite a while ago.

Arthur, who was about to change his clothes, paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What, want to admire your boyfriend's physique?"

Li Aili blushed deeply and slammed the doors to the master bedroom and the second bedroom shut.

The shameless man then pulled the door open again, pointed to his cheek, and said, "Goodnight kiss."

Li Aili slapped him on the forehead and slammed the door shut.

Leaning against the door, the corners of her mouth turned up uncontrollably, and she just couldn't suppress her sweet smile.

The next day, on the breakfast table.

Conrad entered the dining room after the Duke and Duchess finished their meal.

"Your Highness, Madam, the Tankar elves will arrive at the castle before noon."

"The leader of this expedition is the younger brother of the Elf King."

Li Aili was shocked: "Fishernaki sent his own brother?"

Conrad said, "It's my cousin."

"Lunch will be served in the grand banquet hall. We're inviting the elves to lunch," Li Aili instructed nervously.

"No, elves have different tastes than us. I'll go to the West Forest and ask the tree spirits."

They probably know the elves best.

Duke: "..."

Blue eyes watched Li Aili's retreating figure as she rushed out in a flurry of activity.

At noon, the Elf King's brother led 157 elves to Constantinople.

The Duke and Duchess received the Elf King's brother in the reception hall.

This handsome elf has long platinum blonde hair, pointed ears, and deep, captivating green eyes.

"Oh! You must be Lily's sister!"

Wang Di strode forward, ignoring the pair of chilling blue eyes beside him, and grabbed Li Aili's hand.

"My name is Leongor, Fisheranki's cousin, and Lily's ex-boyfriend!"

Lily?

It's not what she thinks, is it?

Li Aili's expression cracked slightly.

Wang Di was completely unaware of what was happening. "Sister! I've finally met you!"

Li Aili: "..." Okay, no need to ask anymore.

Duke: "…………"

She couldn't help but glance at the man beside her, who was also silent, and asked him with her eyes:

Darling, do you still wish I were the flower fairy's biological sister, sharing the same parents?

The Duke, who understood that look in his eyes: "..."

The Elf King's brother was completely baffled by the silence of the human couple before him.

"Ah, speaking of which, I have a special connection with you and your alchemy."

Li Aili: "???"

"That's a long story!"

The Duke said, "Then let's talk at the dinner table."

Then, without making a sound, he pulled Li Aili's hand away from the damned elf's grasp.

Out of caution.

Li Aili prepared two kinds of food for the elves. One was vegetarian food cooked by a temporary cook borrowed from the tree spirits, which suited the elves' tastes.

Then there are the human delicacies cooked by the castle's cook, who used all her skills.

Leongor speared a large, fragrant piece of roasted meat with his fork.

"Mmm~!" He took a big bite. "Delicious~"

Li Aili saw carnivorous elves for the first time. "Uh, so you eat meat too?"

Leongor chewed the meat in his mouth and swallowed it. "It depends on how you put it."

Li Aili: "?"

Leongor devoured the meat on his plate in a flash, then rose gracefully. "Most elves don't eat it because it will give them diarrhea."

Li Aili: "…………"

The Elf King's brother politely inquired, "Excuse me..."

Li Aili pointed in a direction, "The washroom is over there."

Wang Di politely thanked him and gracefully entered the restroom.

The Duke thoughtfully placed an extra small cake in front of Li Aili to 'calm her nerves'.
