Clearly, Cocotte was not familiar with such etiquette, so there is only one possibility.

Koko was fooled by Leah.

If Cocotte truly understood the meaning of a hand kiss, she would never have acted so rashly.

However, Victor also saw through Lia's intentions.

His lips curled slightly upward, and one arm was elegantly placed in front of his chest.

He then knelt down on one knee, reached out and gently grasped Cocotte's arm, lifting it up.

Kokot was slightly taken aback by Viktor's actions.

Wait a moment.

Something feels off.

However, it was too late for her to react.

The next second, Victor lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand.

In that instant, she could feel a warmth flowing from the back of her hand to her entire arm.

For some reason, I suddenly couldn't move my body, my mind went blank, and my heart was pounding as if a deer was running wildly inside me.

A rosy glow instantly spread across Cocote's entire face, and even wisps of white smoke rose from the top of his head.

The surrounding plants also seemed to freeze at this moment.

The flowers and grasses stopped swaying and straightened their stems; even the tall trees seemed frozen in time.

The nobles present were speechless at this sudden turn of events.

Their eyes widened in amazement.

Lipoultry, mingling in the crowd, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and a slight smile played on his lips, finding the scene quite amusing.

Elves, and humans.

That's so interesting.

After doing all this, Viktor stood up again.

Like an extremely elegant gentleman, he faced Kokot and bowed again.

At this moment, Cocotte's cheeks were already flushed.

She could feel her cheeks burning hot, and even her vision was blurry.

Even his body involuntarily leaned backward, almost fainting.

Fortunately, the cloud beside him immediately rushed forward and caught Kokot, who was about to fall.

She lay on the soft, fluffy clouds, her eyes gradually regaining some clarity.

His gaze fell on the gently swaying branches, his hand touched his burning cheek, and his heart was filled with confusion.

Strange, what's wrong with me?

Coco had already mentally rehearsed this scene countless times.

Her plan was to laugh out loud when Victor kissed her arm.

She wanted to vent all the humiliation she had suffered at Clevner's house for so long and regain the dignity that belonged to her.

"But what's going on now?"

Koko was filled with confusion, his mind went blank, and all his carefully planned schemes seemed to vanish in an instant.

For a moment, she didn't even know how to react.

What exactly is this feeling...?

Finally recovering from their shock, the crowd hurriedly bowed deeply to the Elf Queen.

After all, Kokot was a guest who had come from afar, not to mention her status among the elves was on par with the emperor of the empire.

Since Victor had already bowed and kissed his hand, they naturally had to follow suit.

Coming to his senses, Cocotte slowly sat up, looked around, and finally realized what was happening.

As Lia said, Victor's kiss made her appear even more distinguished.

After all, that's Victor, the Empire's most recognized strongest mage.

This is merely a means to elevate her status; she cannot afford to panic.

You need to stay calm.

Now it's her turn to return the favor.

Koko cleared his throat twice, straightened his posture, and looked firmly at Viktor.

She clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest.

May nature favor you.

May the blessings of life enter your heart.

"The calamity dissipates, and a thousand spirits descend."

As she chanted, streaks of emerald green light appeared around her body, transforming into entwined and spreading vines that gradually enveloped Viktor.

The sunlight fell on the walls of the golden banquet hall, giving the entire hall a verdant cloak.

The nobles watched with envy as Victor received the blessing from the Elf Queen.

"The Elf Queen, she's truly amazing..."

"And she was so beautiful, so noble..."

"Even Victor respects her so much, she's truly a perfect queen..."

The nobles whispered among themselves, their words revealing deep admiration.

Kokot closed his eyes and continued singing.

At that moment, she keenly heard the sounds of people talking.

She could hear these human voices very clearly, thanks to her excellent hearing.

Although outwardly calm, Kokot was secretly delighted.

That's amazing, is this the power of Victor?

She now truly feels satisfied.

She must pester Victor to take her to more parties in the future.

But suddenly, she heard the nobles change their tone:

"Unfortunately, this elven queen is already married."

"Sigh... yeah, I wonder who the object of his affections is. I've never heard of male elves among elves."

"Could it be a human? I heard that the Elf Queen has lived for hundreds of years, so it's normal for her to have several human husbands."

Hmm? Hmm?

Upon hearing these words, Kokot paused slightly, and even his chanting stopped involuntarily.

The surrounding natural energy scattered like beads from a broken string.

A rich natural atmosphere filled the banquet hall, instantly plunging the previously lively atmosphere into silence.

All the nobles in the banquet hall fell silent as they watched Kokote stop singing.

An awkward and uncertain atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

Cocotte remained standing there, looking completely bewildered.

"Goose?"

What...are they saying there?
