Chapter 3214: Learned Truth
Rui was aware they had a matriarchal society, so he wasn’t exactly surprised. On top of that, the dark tint of Gu that made his body appear more shadowy was also something that repelled the nature-loving dark elves away from him.
Perhaps they hoped that if they pretended Amare was the delegate, that actually would end up becoming the case.
"We apologize for the confusion," Veruschia addressed him with a more curt tone. "We were not aware that you were the delegate. Please come this way, the Matriarch Pruschilia wishes to speak with you one more time before we bring you along to West Genora."
"...Alright, I’d like to speak with her one last time as well."
It wasn’t long before he found himself seated at a table opposite none other than the elder female dark elf.
"So this is the companion you mentioned," Matriarch Pruschilia murmured as she sized Amare up beside him. "Indeed, this continent does have fine warriors."
"Nice to meet you!" Amare cheerily extended a hand forward for a handshake.
Matriarch Pruschilia tilted her head with confusion at the gesture, extending her hand out as she intuitively figured out what the gesture was for.
"You humans have interesting customs for greetings," the matriarch remarked. "I shall oblige since we are presently on the continent that you belong to."
Rui raised an eyebrow at her words.
