500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System
Chapter 519 High Elves GiftsAll three were looking at me with shocked looks, and I was concerned that something was wrong with my outfit. "Is this too much?"
"I... What is this suit? Why do you look so different now?" Listenia asked, looking at her mother, but Elfinia was almost drooling.
"It's been so long since I have seen you like this. It is tough to even think of much else... maybe we should just stay in and sit on his lap?" Elfinia asked without looking away from me, making me grin.
"I really like this look on you, but I don't think I have seen anyone ever wear something like that," Claire said, and I nodded.
"I am surprised that this world even knows what pants are, and I think that you would find a suit like this very restricting and hot. Plus, you all look better in dresses and skirts than pants, but that is just my personal opinion," I said, and Listenia nodded.
"I think that you look quite beautiful, and it does fit the occasion," Listenia said, and I smiled.
"Handsome is the word you are looking for. My father would be considered beautiful if he wasn't such a snake, but I have more rugged features that define me as a man!" I laughed, and Elfinia nodded.
"Yes, now that I know Delores is actually your father, Kadeon, I do know what you mean. These other two don't really have any reference to what a man looks like besides you, but yes, you are quite handsome and dashing in this suit. Are you sure that you don't just want to stay in and order food? You can tell me how much of a good girl I have been while I sit on your lap," Elfinia pleaded, but Listenia dragged her from behind the counter and over to me.
"No. We did not just spend all this time getting ready, so we can sit at home, no matter how much that does sound appealing!" Listenia complained, and I laughed before offering my arm to the two women.
"Let us go and see what adventures await us!" I said, and the two women linked arms with me, and the three of us left the shop.
The city was busy as usual, but the way that we were dressed seemed to make all the other women make a path for us. I was sure it was more because of the two women on my arm, but I couldn't say that I was complaining. Not that I didn't like greeting everyone, but that did tend to hold things up when you were trying to get somewhere.
With the two Elves, I got small waves, but for the most part, no one bothered us.
"I have to say, it is quite pleasant walking with the two of you. You are both better than a pair of bodyguards!" I laughed, and Elfinia nodded.
"If we would have worn normal clothing, everyone would see us as the same as them, even though they know who they are. Wearing clothing for your station not only makes people respect you more but also keeps you safe. There are many people who are willing to hurt someone to get what they want," Elfinia said, and Listenia nodded.
"And with the two of us by your side, no one will even consider attacking you," Listenia said, and I smiled.
Considering who I was, if there was someone ever that could hurt me, then no one would be safe. I might let the Blood Witches kick me around, but they were the only thing that had given me any pause in this world.
"I am happy to have you as a woman at my side. Now, is there anything else that I should know for tomorrow when we go to visit the Elf Island?" I asked as we entered the market that was bustling as usual.
Both Elves shared a look, and then Listenia cleared her throat. "I think that it would be wise to go with some kind of gift for the High Elves. They are very proud people, and if you can show them something that you have made, they may respect you more."
"That is a great suggestion," I said, thinking of what I could bring. Maybe I could buy something at the market? That way, I would also get to support local businesses in this area too. Afterward, I could put my own spin on whatever I gotta make it a worthy gift.
"What do you think would be the best kind of gift?" I asked as we walked up to Silvy's stand.
"Who are you getting the gift for?" Silvy asked with a smile.
"Galio wants to hire Elves to hunt for him. We are trying to find a gift for the High Elves so they will give their honest opinion on who would be the best to approach for this," Elfinia said, but Silvy shook her head.
"You know that there is no way that the four elders will settle for a single gift, and you can't get them the same ones! I know that you ignored them, but Listenia doesn't have the same excuse since she was the keeper in most meetings until she left the island. Selvena and Airoyal will be easy enough, but Wendria and Litany will not, and it is Wendria's favor that you require if you are looking for hunters," Silvy explained, and I smiled.
"That is quite impressive. You have a good amount of knowledge about your homeland," I said, but she shook her head.
"No, I really know nothing, but neither do these two. I heard that the famous Keeper, Lexi, is in the city and that you had spoken to her. Honestly, if you wish to know about any race, she is the person to talk to. I am sure that both women neglected to tell you about the over three hundred ranks that are categorized in the great tree? That does not include the nearly thousand other minor ranks that sometimes only have one person in them," Silvy explained, and I looked at the other two women.
