Chapter 544: Oppose? No! Blessings Are In Order! (Please Subscribe!)

The final outcome was within Izay’s expectations.

Riviria chose a set of emerald-green robes.

After all, she was told to pick her favorite color.

And what color does Riviria like… it’s really obvious at first glance.

From her hair color, eye color, to her usual clothing preferences.

What color Riviria favors needs no further explanation.

And this isn’t just the case with her alone.

It seems all elves have a preference for the vibrant green symbolizing life energy.

Take that young elf girl working part-time at “The Bountiful Mistress” tavern as an example.

Even when she dyes her hair to conceal her identity, it’s still green.

(So green is tied to the elven race, huh?)

After leaving the shop of the young orc girl, Izay leaned his chin on his hand in thought.

Many fantasy settings seem to inherit this setting…

“Izay? Stop daydreaming there… we still need to go shopping for gifts. We have to be home before nightfall.”

As he was lost in thought, Riviria’s voice beside him broke through.

By the time they left the house, half the afternoon had already passed.

Now, the time left for them was roughly about an hour?

If they wanted to carefully select gifts, you could say this amount of time was barely enough.

But Riviria had already prepared to dine out anyway.

After all, it’s been so many years since she last picked out gifts for her parents; spending more effort wasn’t strange at all.

“Oh… I’m coming~”

Called back to reality, Izay quickly responded and slowly followed Riviria who was already walking ahead.

With the two of them being alone together, out shopping, plus their intimate actions and proximity (from others’ perspective), these factors combined drew the attention of many passersby on the street.

“That’s Loki Familia’s [Nine Magic Princess] and [Silver Star], right? It’s rare to see two top-tier adventurers near the market.”

“Too narrow-minded! I feel something’s off between them; they might even be on a date! We should watch quietly without disturbing!”

“Indeed… earlier, the way they entered the store was almost like…”

“Impossible! Lady Riviria is the noble Elven Princess! How could she possibly fall in love!? Even if it’s [Silver Star]… definitely impossible!!”

On the side of the road, despite the young orc trying to lower his voice, elves are sharp-eared and react strongly to such situations.

In the eyes of elves, Riviria is the princess they revere, always pure and flawless since birth. How could she fall in love with a human!?

Even if that human is… exceptionally talented, extremely powerful, and handsome [Silver Star], it’s… definitely impossible!!

No way!

By the end of his rebuttal, even the elf himself lost confidence.

[Silver Star], with unmatched looks, strength, and potential, is currently the most talked-about figure in Orario, even surpassing Lady Riviria.

Reaching Level 6 within just two years of becoming an adventurer, proficient in both melee combat and magic, pioneering enchanted weapons, and one of the richest individuals in Orario.

There are even rumors among some adventurers that his combat power rivals that of [The Strongest].

For the proud elves to contradict their pride and claim [Silver Star] doesn’t deserve the Elven Princess… simply cannot be done.

Izay is absolutely the most outstanding adventurer among humans, without exception!

Currently, within Orario, there hasn’t been any news of another human reaching his level. ([Sword Maiden] excluded as she is female.)

If even someone like him doesn’t deserve Lady Riviria, then who does?

A group of fellow elves who haven’t even reached the rank of top-tier adventurers?

Elves may indeed have pride, but they’re not arrogant or overbearing to the point of denying others’ merits.

They can acknowledge others’ strengths.

Still… discussing such topics… it hurts more to admit than to deny.

[Silver Star] and Lady Riviria are from the same faction, having the advantage of proximity… could Lady Riviria truly be falling for him?

At that moment, the previously arguing elf felt as if she learned her admired saint was getting married, filled with a sense of loss.

Just then.

Her companion beside her patted her shoulder with a profound expression.

“No worries, Sereshtine. Even if Lady Riviria has a lover, she remains our revered lady! We should give blessings instead!!”

“Hiss…”

What kind of resolve is this?

Sereshtine immediately took a deep breath.

Looking into her companion’s eyes, she saw seriousness and solemnity.

After a while, Sereshtine grasped the hand resting on her shoulder. “It’s my lack of resolve. You’re right, Alicia. Perhaps we shouldn’t oppose…”

After all, considering the bigger picture.

Lady Riviria is also a woman, destined to marry someday; it’s impossible for her to remain lonely forever, right?

Then why can’t the other choice be the strong, handsome, and promising [Silver Star]?

At least [Silver Star] is familiar to the elf adventurers roaming Orario, and they can accept him.

In fact, quite a number of elves who accidentally discovered Izay and Riviria shopping and harbored such thoughts fell into a very subtle and highly possible misunderstanding.

Noticing this situation, Riviria’s porcelain cheeks turned crimson, even feeling annoyed enough to stomp her feet.

“They… what nonsense are they talking about?! Why are such rumors spreading?!”

Her embarrassment was tinged with urgency.

How could Riviria imagine that simply going out shopping with Izay to prepare how to apologize to her father would lead to this ridiculous situation?!

She wanted nothing more than to severely reprimand the rumor-mongers.

Not excessively cruel… perhaps just burning or flooding them to a certain extent.

Let them understand that rumors about the strongest mage in the city aren’t fabricated easily!

After sulking by herself for a bit, Riviria glanced sideways at Izay, who was smirking intentionally or unintentionally.

“You, what are you laughing at? You’re still smiling after hearing such misunderstandings?!”

“It’s not that, teacher. I’m recalling something joyful~”

“You’re doing it again, aren’t you? If I ask ‘what joyful thing’, you’ll start making jokes, won’t you?”

“Not at all, not at all, I’m genuinely happy.”

Izay waved his hands repeatedly.

Mainly because he realized.

Although the purpose of their outing today was to apologize to uncle and aunt.

Essentially, it feels no different from a date.

And due to the aforementioned reasons, it makes things even better.

So Izay was genuinely cheerful.

“Fine! I won’t dwell on this topic. Follow me, let’s head to the bustling street! Quickly select appropriate gifts for mother and father, then we’ll head straight back to Twilight Manor!”

Riviria’s delicate foot clad in black stockings stomped hard on the stone floor. Clenching her teeth, she directly dragged Izay towards the nearby bustling street without hesitation.

The crucial selection of letters was completed, and although Izay couldn’t help much with the letter content, he could offer advice regarding the gifts for her parents.

Anyway, the South District is where most bustling streets are located, so options for gifts wouldn’t be lacking.

Riviria considered every aspect related to this apology!

Even with the heartfelt apology letter as the foundation, other areas mustn’t be neglected!

Just based on the experience of being misunderstood along the way, feeling increasingly embarrassed, Riviria now desired swift action.
