only……
When Liya saw the eldest prince, her expression darkened slightly.
She could hardly be said to like this prince.
Sensing a gaze from behind, the eldest prince turned around.
Turning my head, I saw Viktor's figure.
Then, he gracefully nodded slightly to the nobles around him and politely said:
Excuse me for a moment.
When the nobles saw the eldest prince walk towards Victor, their expressions changed and doubts arose in their hearts.
What's going on?
How did the eldest prince end up with Victor?
When the eldest prince approached Victor and Lia, he raised his wine glass as a sign of courtesy:
“Count Victor, and…”
His gaze followed Victor and landed on Leah, where he paused slightly, then gave an awkward smile.
“Uh… Miss Liya.”
He hadn't seen clearly before and thought the person holding Viktor's arm was Viktor's female companion.
However, the Crown Prince quickly regained his composure, bowing slightly to Lia before flashing a kind smile.
"Long time no see, you still look very beautiful today."
However, Lia simply smiled and did not reply.
Upon seeing this, the eldest prince was speechless.
He laughed awkwardly a few times.
Oh no, it seems that Miss Lia still holds a grudge against him.
It's all Jess's fault; he had to cause trouble for him all along.
Fortunately, he wasn't after Lia.
After forcing a laugh, the eldest prince turned his gaze back to Victor:
“Count Victor, everyone should be almost here.”
"Have the elves arrived yet?"
This is also a question that puzzles others: why haven't the elves arrived yet?
After all, this banquet was prepared for the elves, and if they hadn't arrived, the banquet would have lost its meaning.
Viktor looked at him and calmly replied:
Do you know why they are called elves?
The eldest prince raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
“Elves represent nature, and they are also close to nature.”
His words revealed a deeper meaning:
"Do you think the elves would feel comfortable in such a magnificent and elaborate banquet hall?"
Upon hearing Victor's words, the eldest prince looked around.
The place was resplendent with gold and jade, and nobles came and went, with insincere compliments constantly being heard.
He fell into deep thought, realizing the meaning behind Viktor's words.
These wine dinners and music halls are merely standard features of their high society social life.
But as Victor said, the elves... don't seem to be used to human banquets.
After all, this was the first time they had invited elves to a banquet in the empire, so who would know what the elves liked?
The eldest prince straightened his posture, looked solemnly at Victor, and asked him seriously:
"So how should we proceed?"
"A slight adjustment will suffice."
Adjustment?
How can they adjust in such a short time?
The next second, the trench coat behind Viktor was covered by a flowing, emerald-green light.
"Watch closely."
"I'll only teach you once."
Before the Crown Prince's bewildered eyes, everything around him suddenly changed.
In the magnificent banquet hall, saplings suddenly rose from the ground, growing rapidly.
These brown saplings are growing rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The slender trunk quickly became thick, and lush leaves stretched out from between the branches, intertwining intricately.
Among these towering trees, flower buds began to emerge, ready to bloom.
When all the leaves have fully unfolded and are swaying gently, countless flower buds bloom.
The colors were vibrant and colorful, and the air was filled with a fragrant aroma.
Upon witnessing this scene, the surrounding nobles were stunned and stood frozen in place.
What happened? Isn't it winter now?
Then, amidst the myriad flowers, a figure in white slowly emerged, drawing the astonished gazes of all the nobles.
Koko walked with light steps, followed by the soft, white clouds.
In the silvery light of the falling leaves, her white dress looked exceptionally dazzling and captivating.
With each step she took, the earth seemed to grow more lush and abundant beneath her feet.
Despite it being winter, the area around the banquet hall was as vibrant as springtime with everything growing.
Green leaves hang in the air, and petals flutter in the air.
At the same time, Lia released her grip on Victor's arm.
Standing to the side, arms crossed, watching the scene unfold with great interest.
Lipoulter, who was chatting happily with the nobles, turned around when he sensed a change in the atmosphere around the banquet hall.
His golden eyes swept across the dense forest, landing on Cocotte.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured:
"This is...the Elf Queen?"
A pure, natural aura surrounded Cocot as she walked step by step toward Victor with an elegant and kind smile.
She tilted her head back, her bright, intelligent eyes staring intently at Victor.
As if basking in the attention and praise from everyone, a playful glint flashed in her eyes.
Cocotte spoke softly, her tone revealing an undisguised pleasure:
“Victor.”
Do I look good today?
Just as Victor was about to answer, Kokot reached out a hand and gently covered his mouth.
Then, she extended the back of her hand to Victor.
It was as if a queen were facing the knight who was protecting her.
The movements were elegant, yet quite daring.
Her eyes gleamed with expectation, and her tone was both commanding and pleading:
"Kneel down and kiss me."
