Odom, who originally wanted to bend down, hold the beautiful girl’s hand in front of him, and perform a hand-kissing ceremony, suddenly froze in place at this mont.
After noticing the expressions of the people behind the black-haired girl and the faint black aura around them, Odom’s heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and a strong sense of fear instantly washed over him.
In the next mont,
Under Odom’s horrified gaze, Miss Xizhi behind the black-haired girl slowly raised her hand, pointing at Odom’s hand and mouth, and then made a ’friendly’ smile with a neck-slashing gesture...
Although she didn’t say anything,
Odom read a strong murderous intent in her eyes,
The shadowy mories that he had temporarily forgotten in his mind began to play again like a slideshow.
Recalling the previous scene where he was beaten to the ground by Xizhi and Qiu Mingtong for not wanting to co to the rescue, Odom took a deep, cold breath, and his heart felt a sense of wanting to cry but having no tears. After all, he didn’t know what he had done to make these people around him show such murderous expressions?!
’What on earth is this?!’
Odom couldn’t help but roar in his heart,
His intuition told him that if he continued, he might not see tomorrow’s sun...
At this mont, when his life was threatened,
Odom suddenly rembered the move his elder brother always used when dealing with the Black Rose Duke after provoking him...
No matter how badly his brother ssed up,
After using this move,
The Black Rose Duke would basically not care too much about anything...
’No one is watching anyway!’
In the next mont,
The determined Odom directly discarded his dignity as an elven royal, and under the incredibly astonished gaze of the black-haired girl, he suddenly abandoned his goal of holding her hand, instead bending down and performing a full kowtow,
His movents were so practiced that it was heartbreaking...
At this mont, the entire cave fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Even Xizhi and Qiu Mingtong, who had just been exchanging glances, couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their eyes. Apparently, the actions of the elf prince were beyond their expectations.
Both sides fell into a brief, eerie silence.
It wasn’t until a mont later that the stunned Yumo couldn’t help but exclaim,
"Huh?"
Seeing the elf prince suddenly kneeling in front of her, this unexpected scene made Yumo frown, with countless question marks appearing around her.
Ah, what’s going on?
Why did he suddenly kneel down? I, I didn’t do anything?!
"Um, what are you doing?"
"..."
However, before Odom could respond,
The dragon-horned girl behind Yumo ca to her side with a chuckle and said, "Don’t be too surprised, lady Yumo. When elves et distinguished people of other races for the first ti, their greeting gesture is like this~"
"Huh? What?! What did you say?"
Hearing these words, Yumo couldn’t help but twitch,
What kind of weird greeting gesture is this? Kneeling when eting soone? Are you kidding ?
Yumo waved her hands repeatedly, saying with so suspicion,
"No, no, no, how could this be possible?"
"It’s true, Lady Yumo."
Qiu Mingtong chid in from the side,
"Although it’s hard to believe, it’s indeed their tradition."
"This? This kind of tradition?"
"Yes, if you don’t believe , you can ask him yourself."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Yumo pursed her lips slightly and looked at Odom with confusion. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but Odom’s kneeling posture seed much more graceful than before as if he was genuinely paying respect...
However, she felt as if he had changed his posture only after hearing Xizhi’s words...
These girls must be taking advantage of the elves’ kindness to tease them, right?
"Um, Prince Odom, is this... really the tradition of your Elf race? It’s okay, you can be honest."
Yumo spoke as gently as possible,
Upon hearing this,
Odom raised his head nervously,
And after seeing Yumo’s signature smile, Odom was taken aback. An unparalleled sense of unease suddenly sprouted from the depths of his heart. From their conversation, Odom had already learned that the beautiful girl before him was the leader behind the Black Rose family – the superior of the Black Rose Duke.
A girl who could be that man’s superior was definitely not to be underestimated!
She must be like Xiao, with a deceptive appearance.
Having a beautiful appearance, but deep inside, filled with all kinds of sches and plots, ready to trap people to their demise at any ti.
Her smile was indeed beautiful, but,
He rembered when the Black Rose Duke first ca to the Elf Forest, he smiled at them like this too. Then, they were utterly defeated...
So,
The smile of the girl before him was definitely not a friendly one, but a malicious one! There must be so deeper aning behind it. Wait? Did she intentionally interrupt my al, drag over here, force to kneel, and then ask in a ’teasing’ tone if it’s a tradition?
This woman is trying to intimidate ! She wants to understand the status of the Elf race...
Does this an that elves can only crawl in front of humans? If I say it’s not a tradition, this girl will undoubtedly force the kneeling etiquette to beco a tradition!
These damned people!!
At this mont, Odom’s heart was filled with a strong sense of humiliation.
No!
This can’t go on, I must resist!
...
Wait?
But is it possible,
That this woman genuinely doesn’t know about this tradition? Her smile and question don’t have any special aning? Am I overthinking?
No,
Impossible!
After briefly considering, Odom denied his thoughts,
’The person behind the Black Rose family, how could she not know this! She must be trying to pressure !’
...
With this in mind, Odom mustered his courage, seemingly wanting to let out a few roars to express his determination never to yield. However, as he raised his head again and glanced at Yumo behind him, Odom froze once more. At this mont, Xizhi and Qiu mingtong were both wiping their weapons with a cloth, and looking at him with ’smiles on their faces’...
Odom: "..."
After being conflicted for a split second, Odom imdiately revealed an incomparably ’sincere’ smile, beaming as he t Yumo’s gaze.
’Damn,’
’Instead of getting beaten or having a new ’tradition’’
’Might as well just accept it!’
In a sense, Odom and the Elf King were indeed brothers...
"Yes, Lady Yumo, I apologize for the misunderstanding. Our Elf race’s traditions can indeed be a bit strange, hehe... hehehe..."
Although he was laughing, Odom felt as if he was on the verge of tears.
"Hmm? It really is a tradition?"
"Yes... yes."
"Well, then... fine….."
Seeing that even the Elf Prince had confird it, Yumo reluctantly accepted this bizarre etiquette. After all, the world is vast, and there are many strange things. The Elves mostly stayed secluded in the Elf Forest, so it seed reasonable for them to have so outdated customs...
Sebastian seed to have ntioned sothing similar to her before.
While pondering inwardly, Yumo slowly turned to look behind her.
In an instant, Xizhi and Qiu mingtong, who had just been using their eyes to intimidate Odom, suddenly put away their malicious expressions and returned to their usual innocent deanor.
Yumo: "..."
After casting a suspicious glance at the two girls, Yumo turned her attention back to Odom. As for Odom? After receiving Xizhi’s signal, he had already slowly risen to his feet.
"However, I still have to thank Your Highness for helping us with the rescue earlier."
"No, no, there’s no need to thank for that. It was just a small effort."
"How can I not thank you? If you were discovered, you could have ended up as enemies of the Snowy Night Empire, right? You took such a great risk; of course, I have to thank you. And before, those ’Tears of Nature’ and various magic scrolls you sent were really useful! I’m very grateful for your help; you solved many problems for us."
"Hahaha, don’t worry about it; those were just small matters, hahaha."
’Damn,’
Even if we beco enemies with the Snowy Night Empire, I don’t want to ss with the Black Rose! If we provoke the Snowy Night Empire, what can they do to us? But provoking the Black Rose? We’d probably go straight to et the King of Hell...
As for the ’Tears of Nature’,
What do you an, we sent them! You clearly forced us into trading!
Damn!
Odom complained inwardly, feeling wronged.
At this ti, Yumo’s curious words once again reached the ears of the Elf Prince,
"Speaking of which, Your Highness, I heard that you’re going to the Sky Do this ti. The Elves, especially the royal family, usually live deep within the Elf Forest and rarely interact with the outside world. Why are you suddenly going to the Sky Do?"
"Ah?"
This?
I don’t want to go either, isn’t it you who forced !
Are you asking knowingly?
Of course, Odom wouldn’t say that, and instead revealed a polite smile:
"Recently, the Chosen One is holding a coronation ceremony and has sent out invitations to various forces across the continent. For soone who might save the world, our race believes that it’s necessary to pay a visit."
"Hmm? A coronation ceremony? All the major forces will be there?"
"Yes."
"Oh? This sounds... sowhat interesting..."
Yumo raised her eyebrows, and a hint of interest appeared in her crimson eyes...
