Within the sacred tree's protective barrier.

Salina gazed quietly up at the towering tree before her, with Michelle and Ariel flanking her on either side. From a distance, they formed a beautiful sight.

Rudy stood there quietly, waiting.

A short while later.

A blond man wearing a crown walked slowly towards them.

He is Saraji.

Saraji looked at Salina's family with a complicated expression.

Then I looked at the vibrant sacred tree.

Long-buried memories awaken.

Saraji couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

"I never imagined that the one who gnawed on the tree's heart and destroyed the sacred tree would be myself. In the end, it was you, this hateful human, who saved Salina and the sacred tree."

Rudy smiled slightly.

"No need to thank me, brother-in-law, it's nothing."

When Saraji heard this title, he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Who's your brother-in-law? You despicable human! I will never approve of you. Even if you saved the sacred tree, I will never forgive you!"

As he spoke, Saraji looked pleadingly at his sister.

"Salina, come back to me, okay? I can't live without you."

Upon hearing this, Salina smiled gently and shook her head.

“Brother Salaj, what nonsense are you talking about? I’ve already told you, I’m his woman, and I will continue to be with him in the future.”

"Brother, my feelings for you will always be those of a younger sister for an older brother, so please don't ruin this beautiful relationship."

Saraji shuddered and gave a wry smile.

After locking her up for so long, is it still impossible to keep her?

That's enough.

Saraji nodded helplessly.

Turning around, Saraji suddenly punched Rudy in the chest.

"ah!"

Rudy pretended to be in pain and was punched away, looking disheveled and clutching his chest, crying out in pain.

Sarraj then smiled.

"Human brat, I will never approve of you! If you dare to treat Salina badly or hurt her, I will never let you get away with it! This punch is to pay for it! You punched me last time, didn't you? Hmph, don't let me see you again!"

"All elven knights, listen to my command: from now on, whenever you see this man, spit at him."

"Yes, sir!"

"Pah! Bah!"

Saliva from all directions fell to the ground.

Rudy: "..."

Spitting indiscriminately is so uncivilized.

Is it necessary?

Saraji left smugly.

Rudy got up from the ground, went to Salina's side, and dusted himself off.

"So he gave up just like that? He even punched me."

Salina burst out laughing.

"You should be secretly happy. This is good, now I can focus on following you from now on."

"What am I happy about? From now on, your people will despise me whenever they see me. How am I supposed to woo the little elf girl then?"

"Huh? Honey, what did you just say you wanted to hang?"

Salina's eyes turned dangerous.

Michelle and Ariel each flanked his arms, pouting and looking jealous.

Even though you already have us, you're still thinking about flirting with other girls.

Playboy.

"Uh, I was just kidding. I just thought Salaj's order was really bad. Spitting on the ground is so uncivilized and impolite. He just wanted to disgust me."

"Didn't you disgust him too? All his efforts over the past ten years have been undone by your schemes, and he's even benefited from them. Alright, darling, stop complaining, let's go back."

With a wave of her hand, Salina had Michelle and Ariel help him walk away.

"Hmph, I'll drain you dry when we get back, then let's see how you manage to woo those little fairies."
