Chapter 70 Boyfriend!
Elyon commented, "This is nice," touching the grass and savoring the sensation of the blades against his skin.
"Hmm, it is," Ena said. Ena stretched her body and suggested, "Shall we head back now? Mom and Dad might get angry if you stay out too long." She asked, "Why only me?" Elyon inquired, confused. Why would he be unsafe while his sister is safe outside?
"I won\'t answer that, EL," she said, stretching her hand towards her brother. Elyon took notice of the calluses on her hand and wondered what she did to get them. He had noticed them even as a baby when she held him, but he never asked her about them. In his previous world, people rarely got calluses on their hands or feet since almost everything was automated. There was nothing for them to do that would cause calluses to form.
In this world, it was commonplace for individuals to have calluses on their hands and feet due to physical activity, including his Father, who had acquired them during his time as a tribe leader before becoming the king of the kingdom.
"What kind of weapon do you use, sis?" Elyon finally asked as he pulled himself to his feet with her hand.
"I use a s-"
"Sword" Before his sister could respond, he heard a different voice answer, and he turned his head towards that voice.
"B-big sis Ruby?" Elyon, who had been calm up until this point, began to feel tense as soon as his eyes landed on Ruby, who was approaching them with long strides while smiling. This caused Elyon to experience a sudden increase in his level of anxiety.
"Hay Rudy? Didn\'t you say you were going to be busy today?" Ena questioned while looking at Ruby, who appeared to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Look, I have a lot going on, and I\'m sorry to bother you. I could smell you from quite a distance, so I figured I might as well say hello and introduce ourselves to our younger brother while I was there." As she finished her sentence, she turned her gaze towards Elyon, which caused him to quake for a split second.
As soon as their eyes met, Elyon averted his gaze and then spoke, saying, "Hello, B-big sis," with a slight crack in the middle of his voice.
"Hay EL, look at you!" She said it with a smile on her face, and as she said the last part, she licked her lower lip, which caused Elyon to sweat. "You have grown so much since the last time I saw you," she said.
For some unexplained reason, he has always been terrified of Ruby. Even when he was an infant, he never had the courage to stare Ruby in the eye for an extended period of time because he was convinced that something was trying to pull him into her fiery eyes.
"So, tell me, what exactly are you up to in this neighborhood of the Capital, anyway?" Ena responded, ignorant of the strange behavior being carried out by her younger brother,
"Oh right, I haven\'t yet had the chance to introduce you to him."
"Him?" Ena said while maintaining a suspicious expression on her face.
"What\'s up, Ruby? Are you experiencing any issues because of them?" They were confronted by a harsh tone of voice.
Ruby said, pointing towards Ena, "Oh your finale here, this man was touching me," and the buff-looking boy replied, "He was WHAT." The man\'s muscles were so big that they threatened to tear his clothes, which were tightly fitted.
"…." Ena, who was stunned, did not respond but instead looked at Ruby with a "what is wrong with your gaze", even though Ena\'s face was hidden by her cloak.
"How dare you" The man took a step forward and reached for Ena\'s cape, but Ena sidestepped him and said, "I think this is a misunderstanding" as she lifted her cape slightly to reveal her face just enough for the man to see that she was a woman. The man then took a step back and stopped reaching for Ena\'s cape confusion all over his face.
"Oh, that\'s no fun if you just ruin it like that," Ruby said while making a hurt expression and exclaiming,
"I won\'t play your games, because I know you way too well to fall for these tricks," Ena said,
"What is the name of mother nature going on?" the man inquired, a look of perplexity spreading across his face.
Ena said, "Let\'s talk someplace private," as she grabbed EL\'s hand and started walking out of the clearing.
Ruby winked at the man who was still perplexed and said, "Let\'s follow them, it\'s time you meet my second sister." The man looked at Ruby, still confused about what was happening and why they were following someone when they were supposed to be on a date.
The muscular man just stared at her in complete bewilderment before following her.
Ruby was asked a lot of questions by the man as they walked, but she never answered any of them. Instead, she said, "You\'ll know soon enough" with a teasing smile on her face, which caused Elyon to shudder.
The four of them went inside a structure that was made inside of a tree. The structure had a small door that appeared to be the only entrance from the front, and there were windows all around the trunk of the tree, indicating that there was more than one floor made in that tree.
A receptionist greeted them as they entered through the door, which was accompanied by the sounds of a bell ringing. Ena, who was walking in front of the group, went to the reception table and then took something out of her cloak, and showed it to the receptionist.
The once bright appearance of the woman who was supposed to greet the guests was now pale.
"It would be our pleasure to serve you, your high-" The receptionist started to speak, but Ena stopped her with a finger gesture, indicating that she should keep quiet.
"Y-yes follow me," she said as she led them to the stares that they followed up for at least seven floors, and with the exception of Elyon, everyone else had steady breathing as if it was nothing.
"T-this is our finest room," the Receptionist said as she opened the door and led us in.
After everyone had entered the room, the receptionist went to get them some tea and possibly some food as well.
The room was quite large and featured four separate doors that each led to a different room on the floor. Additionally, the living room featured an open balcony that was connected to the room. with enough space for at least eight people to sit comfortably on the sofas.
"W-what in the world is going on?" the man asked, Ena and Elyon were sitting on a sofa directly across from them while they were both seated on the same sofa.
As soon as the woman in front of him had shown the receptionist something, she acted as if there was a knife on her throat, which led him to believe that he was dealing with the heir to one of the tribes.
Ruby spoke out of the corner of her mouth as she subtly pouted, making her face appear extremely adorable and beautiful. "Oh come on, let\'s stop with the suspense and stuff like that," she said.
Ena took the hood of her robe off, After noticing that his sister had revealed her appearance, Elyon removed the hood from his face,
As soon as the man saw their face, his healthy-looking face lost all colors and he immediately left his seat and knelled,
"I apologize for my earlier behavior Sain-" he begin to say as sweat dripped down his face,
"Stop," Ena commanded, and the man stopped as soon as he heard the words,
Ena ignored the man and then looked at Ruby,
"What\'s the meaning of this?" she asked, as Ruby just gave her a playful wink, and said, "Meet my boyfriend, this is Suclar he is from the Farrier tribe." She said,
"That\'s not what I am talking about, why didn\'t you tell me?" Ena asked as she had a face that said, "You betrayed me"
"And then what, I know for sure you will test every single man I chose till they either Run or die" Ruby said with sarcasm in her words.
"..." Elyon just looked from the side, he had never seen them fight, nor did he know about his sister having a protective side for big sis Ruby.
And as for Suclar who had been on the floor for the duration of the back and forth between Ena and Ruby had a small puddle of sweat under him.
The way his girlfriend was arguing with Ena he know that his head will be at stake by the end of the day, for sure.
He was just a normal boy whose father is a blacksmith, he wasn\'t even supposed to meet such figures on his first date.
"Oh come on, give him a chance" Ruby requested as she was sure her sister won\'t let just anybody near her,
Ena looked at Suclar with a side glance and said with a sigh, "Fine, you better not do something you would regret, and if you do something to her, I will" she said as she came closer to Suclar\'s ears and then whispered in his ears "make you suffer, a fate worst then death, you will be begging me to kill you at the end of it all." Suclar who had been sweating until now, almost had a heart attack, a princess threatening him, he knew for a fact that if he did something wrong, he had his whole family will be punished, even killed.
"Y-yes i-I w-will d-do m-my b-best," he said, somehow holding his balder which was almost about to leak because of how afraid he felt.
