As the night deepened, the theater doors reopened and brightly dressed gentlemen and ladies walked out one after another.
Although the performance has ended, everyone is still talking about what happened just now.
"That last scene was so touching. I hope our future weddings can be as gorgeous as this."
"It's really enviable, but dear, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to invite more than ten witches to congratulate and bless you."
"Witches are truly mysterious and desirable beings, but unfortunately, there are so few confirmed traces of them nowadays."
"Last I heard, it was the newly born Starlight Witch from that country to the west."
"That's right. Perhaps in the eyes of such beings, we mortals are just like the ants under their feet, fleeting..." The gentleman made a poetic metaphor, then looked up at the bright stars in the sky, and the two embraced each other.
At another exit of the theater, Jelann and Faxiner also walked out. Several White Lion Knights holding torches were already waiting there.
"Let me take you home first. It's getting late." As a qualified noble gentleman, he naturally has to take the girl home. This is basic courtesy.
"Thank you." Fa Xiner nodded, then got into the carriage with Jelan.
Inside the carriage, the two were silent for a while, then began to talk about the performance they had just had.
"Has Faxiner ever known about elves?" Jerlann suddenly remembered his former classmate, the seventh daughter of the Landsworth family, Frosia.
"I have understood it, but not in depth." Fa Xiner shook her head.
Within the empire, the Trey family is one of the few that does not interact with the elves. The reason for this can be traced back to the grudges left over from the First Age.
Most of the Treyi family and their vassals are survivors of the Mercury Dynasty who returned from the Isle of Everdarkness. Their ancestors led countless wars and conquests against the three tribes of elves.
Although nearly two thousand years have passed, for the long-lived elves, such memories are not too distant. The family histories of both sides still record many means and tactics used against each other.
For this reason, the Landsworthy family, who have half-elven blood, have little contact with the Trey family.
"Actually, I went to the Emerald Forest once when I was very young. At that time, one of my mother's good friends was the princess of the elves." Jelan talked about his childhood. At that time, he was a very naughty boy and often caused trouble for the elf aunt.
...、
"Looking back now, I'm really a little embarrassed, haha."
Jie Lan En was talking about his childhood scandals, and Fa Xin Er was listening attentively. Her black crystal-like eyes were quiet and peaceful, which made Jie Lan En let down his guard and restraint.
"As for me, I seldom went out when I was a child. The weather in the north was mostly cold, and I was often sick, which often troubled my mother to worry about me..." Fa Xiner also slowly talked about some things in the past.
"My brother was afraid that I would get bored lying in bed, so he would often bring back some books to entertain me."
"But now that I think about it, my brothers were pretty free with their book choices. There were popular chivalric novels, as well as obscure biographies. Even though I couldn't recognize some of the words, I still managed to read them slowly, using a dictionary."
"Later on, I got used to this kind of life until I grew up."
"My parents and brothers take good care of me and rarely let me suffer. Sometimes I worry about whether I can adapt to independent living."
"After I told my father about this, he thought about it for a while and then sent me to study at the Royal Academy of Titania. I only graduated two years ago." Fa Xiner introduced her past.
Her experience was actually very simple and not complicated. Jerlane had also learned this through the family's intelligence personnel, but now hearing her tell some of the details in person, it was a different feeling.
The eldest son of the griffin couldn't help but feel a little pity for this gentle and lovely girl with black hair and black dress.
Perhaps, this is my destination.
Looking at the hazy face in the candlelight, Jelan's heart softened.
"Faxiner..." He called the other person's name softly. The girl also turned her face slightly, raised her eyes, and looked at the golden-haired eldest son of the griffin.
"I think I'm in love with you..." Jelann, who is not very good at saying sweet words, can only say such simple words.
"Hmm..." The black-haired girl lowered her head and responded with a mosquito-like sound.
At this moment, time seemed to be extremely long. Jelan gently held the wrist, which was like a frightened deer, and did not let it slip out of his palm.
Delicate skin and slender fingers are clearly visible in the touch of the palm.
Slightly moving closer, the graceful neck like a black swan came closer in Jelan's eyes, and he could even smell the faint fragrance on Fa Xiner's body.
It is so dreamy and fascinating that people are willing to indulge in it.
"I want to give you a gift." Jelann touched the pockets on his clothes and found that he didn't seem to have any jewelry or other small things. Finally, he suddenly remembered something, reached into his collar, and took out a warm metal pendant.
The shield-shaped pendant is engraved with a lifelike griffin with pure white feathers and golden lightning-like feathers on its neck and head, which is gorgeous and exquisite.
This is a symbol of his identity, but of course he doesn't need to use it to prove it normally.
"I'll give this to you."
He lifted up Fa Xiner's hand and placed the shield-shaped pendant, which still carried her body temperature, in her hand.
"This... is so precious." Fa Xiner was not an ordinary ignorant girl. She naturally recognized what this thing was and what it meant.
"Take it. This is the Griffin's promise and agreement." When saying this, Jelann's eyes were burning and serious.
Seeing Jelann's serious expression, Fa Xin'er now understood the Griffin's resolve and nodded gently, "...I understand."
This pendant represents Jelann's promise and oath. I'm afraid he will propose marriage to the Treyi family soon.
This is exactly what the family wants to see, and he has completed the task very well.
Although it was a major event in her life, Fa Xiner did not have much emotional ups and downs, as if she had realized this very early on.
As a tool for family marriage, this is a normal thing in the aristocratic circle, and she was mentally prepared for this when she was very young.
Lord Jelann was a distinguished and outstanding nobleman, and it was not difficult to spend the rest of her life with him. However, everything that happened tonight developed too quickly, which was a bit beyond her expectations.
No matter what, I have finally completed the family's mission well, and Lord Elon will probably be happy when he hears it.
I don’t know what my parents would think. My brothers would definitely congratulate me for finding a good home.
As she was thinking this, the carriage gradually arrived at the mansion where she lived.
