[Eon's POV: ]
Sir Maverick looked at with a gaze that was unlike anything the others had in this room.
It was full of curiosity, acceptance, admiration, envy, and a bunch of other things.
It was pretty strange but, considering where the two of us stood at the mont, him openly showing his interest in us was not sothing the nobles present in the room could possibly ignore.
"The two of you certainly look much better together than I had thought. The aura of oneness around the two of you, the unique tranquillity, the understanding the two of you have of each other, to the way you handle each other… when Zahavi said the two would be better than even them, both of us had laughed, but, as you can see, even this lady of mine is surprised to actually see the two of you.
You definitely possess sothing precious that most of the couple of current day doesn't usually have. Especially those eyes… both of you have a gorgeous pair of them."
It wasn't in his nature to speak so highly of soone else like this, especially when it ca to relationships, but the fact that he was speaking highly of us ant he was going to help with the matter that I was here for, even if that help is just a little from his side.
"Huhu, you two still have countless things to go through together. It will be challenging for you, but I think you will do just fine." Lady Carolina laughled lightly while adding to his words and then, looked at Rein straight into the eyes.
"But tell Lady Reinelle. What is it that you love about Master Axion? No one practically knows how the two of you t each other or how you got so close in just a few years, but, the kind of relationship you have right now must have started with sothing unique, right?
If you don't mind telling , what is it that you love the most about him?"
She asked her a proper question with a smile on her face and not only Lady Charlotte and the kids hiding behind her but also the other ladies and so n who were secretly listening to our conversation eagerly looked at Rein to hear the answer to a question that I already knew the answer to.
"Ah I don't mind at all, of course, lady Carolina. And that is a simple question that you don't have to ask that politely.
What I love about him the most… is his pretty Soul. It's sothing brighter than a spirit cluster, sothing more special than any wondrous sight in this world, and sothing that soothes my own Soul every ti I gaze at it.
It's just, too pretty. And his eyes of course. They are adorable.
Hehe, as you said, we have many things we keep to ourselves and we like it that way, but, certainly, the first ti we t… well, it was special. And fun as well, of course."
Our first eting in that forest where she just jumped at and started attacking with her powerful scythe even though I had done nothing to her.
She was crazy back then, always ready to jump into dangerous situations especially when it involved things or people that seed fun to her, and though almost the sa as back then, she is a little better than what she used to be in the past.
'She still loved fighting strong people though, and she still didn't like it when people knew more than necessary things about her.'
Just this morning when we ca to the capital city and were done preparing for this gathering, she was going to ask the head butler for a spar before we left the place… and since he was the perfect butler that had no reason to refuse a fun chance like that, he would definitely have accepted her request had I not forcefully dragged her out of the place.
'She was angry about that even now but, well, I managed to convince her that we had ti and that she can do that sparring later when we have the chance.
We had more pressing matters to look after, and, it involved a bunch of demon worshipers, the competition that was about to end the preparations, and the rulers of this land who held special positions in this world.
"His soul, hun? Honey, that's quite a surprising answer coming from soone who has not even been with their partner for a few years."
The impressed look on her face was more than enough for the public to know just how much she liked the answer she had received from Rein, and, after that, the way she put her hand on her hair around her ear and gently brushed it behind her ear, was a gesture famous in the Principality.
The aning behind it varied depending on the context and who was doing it to whose, but in this context, in this setting, and this place before these specific people, the only aning behind this gesture was that she was inviting her, inviting us, to join them personally.
It was an open invitation that only a few ladies and their partners had ever received from her since the ti they had not even been in this nation, but, Rein received an invitation with an absurd answer that practically didn't make much sense to the people present in this hall.
They were surprised, but, I can tell their surprise was nothing compared to the surprise Rein herself had at the mont.
[[ "Woah damn… I was going to lose my balance for a mont there. She is dangerous dude. The air around her… chilly!" ]]
[[ "No worries darling. I would have caught you had you lost your balance, I would have supported you if the need ever had raised, and, I would have shared those chills alongside you-" ]]
[[ "Yeah, darling. Sorry to interrupt your love poetry, it was bad as always, but, this isn't the right ti to do that, right?" ]]
[[ "Every mont is the right ti to express love, darling. At least with simple finite words." ]]
[[ "I… think you have lost your mind for so reason so I will stop here but, if you really an what you said about every mont being the right mont-" ]]
[[ "Yeah, no. I take my words back. I said nothing, you heard nothing. Oh, and look, she is looking at you weirdly now." ]]
She was becoming bolder these days so she definitely would have dragged into so corner sowhere here to kiss , or to seduce into kissing her even with everyone watching.
'She's trying to do bolder things but, she should also know this wasn't the place for things like that. At least, not this shitty place filled with shitty people.
We could change back into so other clothes and go down into the common stadium sowhere in the corner and do whatever she wanted with hundreds and thousands of people around us.
That will be better, I would say.
"You are fun Lady Reinelle. How would you like to join and Lady Charlotte and greet a few people present here?"
"Hmmm? I…"
She looked at after reciting this sudden question from her and, since this was Lady Carolina we were talking about here, there was no way I had the ntal strength required to stop her from taking my fiancée away from .
"I don't mind, of course. It would be my honor."
"No no Lady Reinelle. The honor is all mine."
She was playing at sothing, I didn't know her angle yet but she was definitely doing this with so certain hidden intentions.
"Then looks like you will be joining us, Master Axion."
"Looks like it, Sir Maverick. I will be in your care then."
It was about going around with them to greet the others, which simply ant they were going to help us make connections directly, and this was an opportunity we couldn't possibly ignore.
"Ah, right! Before that… Lady Charl? Would you like to introduce the young lord and lady to our special couple?"
We all were almost about to leave when Lady Carolina spoke up again and looked at the twins handing behind the dress of their mother with a shy expression.
They were smart kinds, but, in a place full of people that they perceived as sothing scary, the kids couldn't help their instincts to hide at the safest place they could feel at the mont, which was behind the skirts of their mom, but, well, it was actually the safest place.
"Oh of course! I would love that! As a matter of fact, both of them have already asked about the two of you four tis.
Huhu, Nathan, Nat. Co forward. Greet the big brother and big sister.
You rember I told you about the amazing big brother who created the milkshake and the ice cream you love so much and the big sister who distributes the tea and coffee we all love?
This is them, the amazing Owner of (Eon's New World) and the pretty, and cool Lady of Atraxia. Co, greet them~."
The kids, the twins had inherited their mother's unique silver hair and their father's pretty blue eyes so they were obviously small cuties, but, that aside, they had also incarnated the ability to see the true nature of Mana that one possessed, sothing that ca from the line of their great grandmother who is one of the special Elder council mbers of today.
She was a unique character however, just like her ability to perceive the true nature of soone, these two young ones could also tell one's true nature by the unique characteristics of Mana that they saw with their eyes.
And…
"H-helaw big bruther! Helaw big suster!"
"You are pewtty!"
"Char! We gere goin to sway dat tugether!"
"Ah! Soweeey!"
They were adorable.
And cute.
And pretty.
And pure… haaaa…
'Yup. I have decided.'
They should be Anna's friends. They would love having her, I know it for certain now.
"What did you say, sweeties? They are pretty?"
"Yeeeeeee! Bruther and swistur are pretttttttty!"
The Enders knew that pretty the two of them ant we were surrounded by a positive aura that they found sparkly and attractive compared to the other people in this place.
They knew the two perceived us as what they usually referred to as the 'real amazing pure ones' or Pewtty as the young girl had said.
Mana hardly ever lied, so, it was a credible proof of our pure inner thoughts and soul.
They confird we could be trusted, and, the words of these innocent children were the words of pure angels to the adults who knew of their powers.
"Hello to you too kiddos."
"And you are pretty as well… just as pretty as this!"
Rein took out a teddy bear I had made for her in the past and as soon as they saw him, their eyes lip up instantly.
"Shiiiiiiiiny!"
"Pewtty~!"
It was a call made out of pure Mana threads and a unique cotton that was also mana-rich.
'It was one of the things she actually liked, that's why she had still kept it with her even though it was just a failed prototype for Mr. Rice.'
But, if she was giving it to them, then it certainly ant she liked these two cuties more than this doll.
And that cheerful expression the two of them had, especially on the face of the little brother, was sothing she found more precious than any connection she could make through their parents, uncle, and aunt.
They were precious, their smiles were, to her.
And, since the competition's first round would start soon, the smiles that would be covering this ginormous stadium, along with the smiles of her house mbers, would be sothing equally precious to her than all these fake bastards that considered themselves as nobles' combined efforts.
