Chapter 671: Reaching Southern Pride
[Southern Pride]
Standing in the throne room, alongside Jasmine – the supreme Daughter of Humilitas – and Siegfried – the Dragon Slayer – Satella was pacing about, walking in circles as she continuously bit on her thumb with a sense of anxiousness that was completely unlike the elven queen.
Her steps seemed jittery and she kept twitching every now and then while looking outside the window carved out of the tree.
“You should sit down now, please. Watching you walk like this is making me dizzy.” Jasmine waved at her friend. Today, she was wearing a silky transparent robe that did little to hide or even cover her form. It was more there for the sake of saying she wore clothes than to have any function of clothes actually.
She did not wear any jewelry but still had some white flower bracelets on her wrists and legs, creating a great contrast with her brown skin. Her Blue eyes were filled with amusement as she watched her long-time friend.
“She is right. I feel like you are worrying for nothing. Shouldn’t we prepare to head out? The meeting with Lord Sol is supposed to happen on neutral grounds, right?” Siegfried commented as well.
Unlike Jasmine, he was covered from head to toe in a green uniform made out of leaves. Those leaves were specially gathered from the world tree and tailored in a way to make incredibly soft and flexible armor. He was not holding his sword. After all, bringing a dragon-slaying weapon with him while meeting a literal dragon would be incredibly disrespectful to their ensuing guest.
Listening to her friend and her brother, Satella stopped for a short while, her pale skin glistening under the light of the sun and her long-pointed ears twitching constantly.
“Something is going to happen. I can feel it.” Her words made no sense as she had no power to see the future. But Jasmine and Siegfried grew concerned. Satella was a Blessed. No matter how ridiculous her sudden epiphany might be, it would always be better to pay heed to those bouts of incredulous intuitions.
