"Oh? How do you even know this..." Upon hearing this, Hamel gradually dropped his nonchalant expression.
He looked at the short human in front of him and felt confused for the first time in his life.
Having survived since the First Dynasty, he thought he could roam freely in the degenerate human society, but little did he know that he would stumble and fall in this remote and impoverished first stop.
While he was still in a daze, Yun Wei's patience had run out.
The magician, resting his head on his lover's shoulder, asked lazily, "Isa, aren't you going to get something to eat? This snow isn't going to stop anytime soon."
He himself often forgets to eat.
Isaac, on the other hand, hasn't yet readjusted to the need to eat at regular times.
"Hmm." The knight nodded, but didn't let go of his lover's arms. "I have some small bread rolls. What kind of jam would you like? We can have some together."
After he finished speaking, he casually pecked the sideburn of the person in his arms.
Yun Wei didn't find it strange.
If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, the two of them would probably be even more affectionate.
He thought for a moment and replied, "I'd like it a little sweeter."
Although he personally prefers sweet and sour flavors, his current situation is really bad, and eating something sweet might make him feel better.
“Then let’s have chestnut bread rolls with berry jam. Wait a moment while I toast the bread rolls again.” Isaac said, then turned around, spread his cloak on the hay, and quickly got to work.
Yun Wei turned his head to the side, watching Isaac's movements intently.
The other person skillfully sliced open the bread roll with a knife, spread jam inside, and then used the flame on their fingertips to sear the honey-coated crust.
The aroma is wonderful!
He loved watching Isaac prepare food; it was a wonderful combination of food and sex.
However, Isaac simply didn't understand.
He would never tell the other party on his own initiative.
This is the corner where Hamel crashed in earlier.
The villagers had dispersed, making the place quieter.
Hamel watched the two interacting so casually, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Um... Mr. Oakes is a cousin of my father..."
“I am a wood elf, born during the First Dynasty. My father was killed by the Lord of the Abyss, but before he died, he hid me and some of my brothers and sisters.”
"I see, I understand now." Yun Wei said, and then eagerly took the bread roll that Isaac handed him and began to take small bites.
Isaac is the best partner in the world. He is so considerate that you can always eat the food handed to you without worrying about burning yourself.
As a result, Yun Wei often felt guilty, as if he were a cripple who had everything done for him.
However, since Isaac's needs returned to normal, watching him eat has become his newest enjoyment.
The other person ate elegantly, but without being pretentious.
He enjoyed watching the other person savor their food. The other person's expression was as serious as ever, and their temples throbbed powerfully with each chew, making him unable to resist touching them.
And the most wonderful thing is now—
When the other person quickly noticed his scrutiny and looked back at him, their eyes showed confusion and bewilderment.
He didn't know how to describe this extremely contrasting expression.
Handsome, cute, and so on.
But at that moment, Hamel's voice rang out again, untimely, "Is that all? Don't you have any other questions for me? For example, my relationship with Victor—"
"You know, he's my nephew!"
This was something Yun Wei hadn't expected.
He recalled carefully that when he first saw Victor's phantom, all his attention was focused on the deer mark between the other's eyebrows, and he did not notice the other's overly handsome features.
In reality, he only knew about the information and wasn't particularly interested in it.
His energy is indeed limited.
If I had to say what I'm interested in, it would be Lord Victor's little-known romantic gossip.
“Alright.” Yun Wei swallowed the bread in his mouth before saying, “You can stay here without worry and leave after the black snow stops, if the snow can stop.”
"That's it!?" Hamel's eyes widened immediately, his dark green pupils filled with disbelief. "I am a dignified level eight high-ranking mage. Don't you want to invite me to settle down and govern the territory?"
“There’s absolutely no need for that.” Yun Wei decisively declined the other party’s presumptuous offer. “My territory is poorly productive and doesn’t have enough resources to support a strong person like you. Besides, more importantly, my spouse doesn’t have a very good impression of you, and I’m on his side.”
Yun Wei felt that he had made his attitude clear enough, so he began to enjoy the remaining snacks with peace of mind.
Hamel was somewhat disheveled.
He couldn't help but look at the excessively tall human.
The other person was also staring at him. When he looked over, the person chewed their bread with extra force, displaying a clearly smug expression.
His expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
It's hard to say whether it was the love at first sight that suddenly blossomed and then withered, or the tempting bread roll that he also wanted to try.
Yes, only now has he finally confirmed one thing.
He seemed to have fallen in love at first sight with the short human named Yun Wei.
This is difficult to explain, because elves generally dislike humans. As beings close to nature, elves are born with keen senses and long lifespans, and are cold-hearted and indifferent.
Only in this way could they live through the long years.
Humans are quite different from them. Despite their short lifespans, humans are accompanied by all sorts of ever-changing desires.
These desires are disgusting; they are always demanding more and more from nature.
Ask for more!
But the humans in front of me are very different.
The other person has no extra desires; their only desire stems from love—which cannot be called desire, but rather the virtue of fidelity.
Therefore, he was very jealous of that tall warrior, so jealous that he wanted to take action to seize Yun Wei.
Yunwei should belong to everyone; how can it be privately owned?
Of course, he was just thinking about it.
After all, if it really came down to a fight, he probably wouldn't be able to win.
Moreover, whether it was his imagination or not, Yun Wei exuded an indescribable fragrance.
It was the scent of a spring from which life sprouts, similar to the primal power of the fallen elven father god. Perhaps not only him, but all the elves were powerless to resist it.
Ultimately, it was all his fault for being stubborn and unwilling to readily believe Mr. O. Oakes' good intentions.
He regretted it deeply, because he had a legitimate opportunity to join the other side from the very beginning.
But then Hamel remembered how he had been so carefree, leading the donkey around without being recognized by the two men while he was pretending to be innocent…
never mind.
He shouldn't humiliate himself.
The elves' sentimentality is vividly displayed in Hamel.
He should perhaps be thankful that Mr. Isaac did not hear his thoughts.
But this older, elfin woman, who knew nothing of social etiquette, still harbored some resentment deep down.
So, surprisingly, he interrupted the two who were enjoying breakfast together again with a sense of righteousness, "Your Excellency Yunwei, I have another suggestion."
After being interrupted by the same person several times, Yun Wei's good mood soured.
He didn't turn his head, but looked up at Isaac.
The man sitting opposite him indeed turned pale and warned in a low voice, "You're really annoying! Be careful, or I might really throw you out and leave you to fend for yourself."
Yun Wei knew that the other party was just saying it.
As a knight whose integrity and uprightness made him feel ashamed, Isaac could never do such a cruel thing.
But Hamel seemed not to hear him and continued slowly, "Maintaining the 'Gentle Water Protection' does consume magic power."
"In my opinion, would you like to try 'Graceful Warm Snow'?"
