Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 375: Sarah & Illumia's Paranoia

Our days within the Realm Sect continued like usual, and it was decently peaceful, though every now and then, I'd have a run-in with Tiamat or Comet whenever visiting Realm, so it would be highly annoying, to say the least. However, speaking of Realm, I was currently at a restaurant Sarah had advocated for; I forget the name, but if the food tastes good, I'll probably remember it; if not, well, I'll never visit this place.

"Is something on your mind, Elif?" Asked Sarah lightly as she glanced at Elif, snuggling in his lap while tasting the appetizers.

"...No, nothing; I was just thinking about cultivation, that is all." Replied Elif lightly with furrowed brows as he leaned onto the armrest while staring at the table, prompting Sarah to hold a piece of bread before his mouth.

"You should try it, Elif. It's delicious; actually, now that I think about it, I've never tasted a bread I disliked. Well, that makes sense since bread is a hard dish to mess up." Remarked Sarah lightly as she slowly fed Elif pieces of bread, causing him to raise an eyebrow while slightly nodding.

"Yes, that is pretty good." Muttered Elif softly while swallowing before heropened his mouth, prompting Sarah to continuously feed him.

"Oh, yeah, Elif, I've been meaning to ask you this; I've just forgotten, but will you have a problem if I wear this?" Asked Sarah with slightly widened eyes as she summoned a small chest from her dimension ring before opening it, displaying a shiny silver necklace with a blood-red dangling from the chain.

"It's been months since I've given that to you; why are you only asking me now?" Asked Elif lightly as he gazed at the necklace with a slight frown before raising his head and looking at Sarah, who awkwardly looked away.

"Hehe, I-I've just been forgetting, that's all." Replied Sarah with a sheepish smile as she glanced at Elif, who softly sighed before shaking his head and closing his chest.

"No. You won't be wearing gifts from another man unless they are from your immediate blood-related family. You belong to me, after all." Said Elif calmly as he dismissively waved his hand while closing his eyes, causing Sarah to calmly nod before storing it within her dimension ring.

"Hmm, I figured that would be your response... It is a nice necklace, though. Oh, also, I've had both Illumia and Maxim check it for any foul play, and they've both reported it to be clean; neither the chest nor the necklace has been tampered with." Stated Sarah lightly as she returned to feeding Elif while quietly awaiting his response.

"Clean? Hmm, that is surprising. It's possible it could still be a God-tier artifact, as neither of them could notice it if it were, but I'm a little hesitant to believe Aurora would waste a God-tier artifact on you." Said Elif calmly with a slightly surprised expression, only for his face to constantly twitch as Sarah threw a piece of bread at him.

"Hmph, that is quite rude, Elif." "I'm merely stating the truth, Sarah." Remarked Sarah and Elif, respectively, as the former scoffed in annoyance while the latter calmly nodded, seemingly unconcerned with her reaction.

While Sarah was annoyed with my truthful words, the door leading to our private room was knocked upon, only for Illumia's voice to resound from behind it.

"Your Highness, the food has arrived." Said Illumia respectfully as she stood directly outside the door with several waiters holding trays of food.

Nodding at Illumia's words, I nudged Sarah, causing her to huff as she hopped off my lap before sitting in the chair directly opposite of me, on the other side of our circular table.

"You may enter." Said Elif lightly, his words prompting the door to be opened as Illumai entered, followed by several waiters.

The waiters didn't say a single word and simply placed numerous plates on the table, nearly filling it up with various dishes, which was only expected as I had ordered every dish offered during the evening since it was a little late in the day.
