Chapter 30 In the Elf Tavern
The melodies played by the elegant jade pipe organ wafted through the elf tavern. Due to the war over the past year, the flow of customers in the entire small town had significantly decreased, making it feel quiet. However, the entire tavern was still kept clean and refined.
Transparent sunlight streamed in through the intricately designed and decorated glass panels, exuding an elegant aura.
“So, you’re saying Veer was actually awake when we went to buy clothes this morning… but because she’s shy and felt embarrassed to suddenly appear in this child form, she pretended not to remember?”
The plush white rabbit doll was placed beside the girl. Ig held his hands together, resting his chin on them, and gazed with a faint smile at Verafia, who was pouting. She stood on the carved wooden chair with her small feet, clad in delicate leather shoes wrapped in white silk, using her height to assert her “Young Lady’s dignity.”
Come to think of it, this girl had just cried a torrent of tears. Afterward, she seemed to realize how embarrassing it was, her eyes red, and she buried her little head in his embrace.
Ig amusingly imagined Verafia as a child, desperately trying to hold back tears but unable to stop sobbing in his arms, a truly cute scene.
“Waa, I actually wanted to wait until tomorrow morning when I woke up…”
Verafia bit her tender lips and said with a grievance.
She had just been in the form of a child, begging Ig to buy her candy and clothes. Upon waking and realizing, Verafia wished she could burrow straight into the ground.
Verafia was absolutely convinced that if she suddenly remembered those shameful scenes, she would definitely be mocked by Ig and the others for a long time to come.
Therefore, it was better to continue pretending to be an innocent child, kick this guy awake tomorrow morning before any prior context, make a big fuss, and then, with her chin held high, reluctantly forgive the offensive attendant.
This way, she could smoothly maintain her dignity as a young lady.
But, why did it turn out this way…
“So, Little Veer…”
“I told you, that kind of address is embarrassing!”
Verafia felt incredibly ashamed and angry. Before, no one knew she was already Verafia, so she could pretend and tell herself it was all just an act. Idiot attendant, being played with in the palm of the young lady’s hand. But, but…
Now that she’d been exposed, wouldn’t it seem like she had been pretending like this because she wanted to be that guy’s little daughter!
Her youthful little face was even more delicate than when she was a young girl. As she imagined, it gradually heated up. However, Verafia was too embarrassed to reach out and cover it, so she could only let her long eyelashes tremble slightly, and her golden eyes, filled with shame, lowered evasively.
Ig’s uncontrollable smile fell into Verafia’s eyes. The girl, in her shame and anger, said in her tender and slender voice with a scolding tone, “Damn Ig, you were deliberately mocking the young lady just now! Waa, you bad guy, you just like bullying me…”
Even though this young lady was angry, why did it feel more and more like she was acting spoiled?
Ig outwardly stopped his laughter and sat up straight, stating that he was definitely not laughing at the young lady. However, inside, he couldn’t help but tease her.
Hmm, as expected, Veer as a child was just cute no matter how you looked at her.
He almost smiled again. Ig coughed dryly, barely managing to hold back.
Although teasing this girl was indeed fun, he had to be careful about the extent. Otherwise, if he made her cry again, he would definitely be dealt with by this vindictive young lady later.
Just then, a crisp “dada” sound was heard. A wood elf girl walked over gracefully, as if bringing a gust of fresh wind.
The elf girl wasn’t old, not yet an adult, and much younger than Ain. Seeing Ig, her exquisite little face was filled with surprise.
“My Lord, here are the Cyan Dew Blue Crystal Wine and Emerald Flower Tea you and the two young ladies ordered, and also sweet honey milk for this little young lady.”
The little elf girl smiled softly, her fine and soft voice seeming to carry the sweet fragrance of flowers. She bowed slightly and placed the drinks on the table. Then, she looked up, her pretty eyes filled with stars as she gazed at Ig.
The fact that a Star Rank human young man severely disciplined Bethesda had happened not long ago, but for this not-so-large elf town, it quickly became known to everyone.
The wood elf girl in front of them was the daughter of the tavern owner. It seemed she had also been bullied by Bethesda before. At this moment, seeing the human young man who had disciplined him, her young heart was naturally filled with admiration for the hero.
The wood elf girl also brought them a few exquisite small cakes. After slightly straightening up, her slightly short eyelashes revealed a trace of concern as she looked at Ig: “But my Lord, although you are powerful, that Bethesda is, after all, a Gold Elf. Will injuring him bring you trouble?”
“Thank you for your concern. I just taught a Gold Elf a lesson, it’s not a major issue,” Ig said with a smile.
In the current declining Elf Empire, the combat power of a Saint Rank was considered extremely precious. Ig didn’t believe anyone would find him trouble over an ordinary noble dandy… Besides, even without Ain by his side, his current identity was as an envoy of the Dwarf King of Moan City.
Having dealt with just one High Elf, Ig really couldn’t imagine what trouble he would encounter.
Hearing his words, the little wood elf girl breathed a sigh of relief. Her emerald green eyes curved gracefully, and her slightly chubby, pure white face revealed dimples.
Ig smiled and placed a few silver coins in her hand as a tip.
The wood elf’s slender back left with a hint of briskness.
“…You defeated a noble dandy and won the heart of a beautiful girl. Hmm, you guy, you’re quite a hero then.”
From somewhere, a certain young lady’s sour voice could be heard.
“He’s just a trivial minor character. Such a small matter, how can it compare to the young lady who saves the world?”
Watching her sitting on the chair, her tender little face puffed out in annoyance, Ig smiled and rubbed Verafia’s head. Following his old habit, he flattered her: “Back then, there were so many people who liked the young lady. Even I couldn’t escape, you know.”
Hmm, whether it was in the past or present, he admired Lord Lothel immensely… And Lord Lothel, wasn’t she the little girl in front of him?
“Hmph hmph.”
Hearing Ig’s flattery, Verafia proudly lifted her little face, the corners of her tender lips curling up.
Although these were the daily tsundere actions of this proud young lady, on Verafia, who was currently still a child, it now seemed to carry a sense of acting spoiled.
