Chapter 349: Things a Mature Elf Should Know!
"Alright, Isa, you can stay in this small town and do anything you want until the war is over."
"Don’t worry about rumors, family honor, or the war… those are just silly things… But even though I am strong, I have some limits and can’t explain more to you…"
After Heidegger’s lighthearted words, Isabella showed a look of surprise.
Not only because her father hadn’t called her "Isa" in such a caring way for a long time.
But also because of the content of Heidegger’s words.
She had never thought that her powerful father and famous family would be a "support."
In the past, she always viewed being the only daughter and eldest daughter of the Schwarzwald family as a huge responsibility.
Her father had never said, "Don’t worry," like that before…
So Isabella was very, very surprised.
The more surprised she was, the more guilty Heidegger felt.
"Is there anything you want to do?"
Isabella mumbled, and Heidegger nodded.
"Yes, anything you want to do."
This elegant middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and added one more thing.
"Even if you bring home a… um, not a Ryman’s… um, partner, that’s fine."
"Race, gender… it’s all okay!"
As he said this, he almost read out a certain succubus’s ID number!
When Isabella heard this, she realized what her father was talking about, and in an instant, all her doubts and confusion, as well as her discomfort at her father’s new attitude toward mending their relationship, were thrown aside!
"Dad?! Wh-what are you saying?!"
At that moment, Ryman Ice completely melted away.
Even Heidegger couldn’t help but exclaim…
It really is true, "A daughter grows up and leaves, a son doesn’t listen to his mother!"
If only I had known that succubus was so helpful, I wouldn’t have gone in circles for so long.
However, he realized that his father-daughter relationship with Isabella had indeed taken a small step in the direction he hoped for.
"How wonderful…"
Heidegger smiled as he looked at his daughter, her face red and steam coming from her head.
"Enjoy your time in this little town… forget about the knight’s creed for a bit—but not completely… at least, don’t lose to that elf!"
"Dad?! Please don’t say that. Lolth and I are… are…"
Isabella glanced at Tina, who was talking to Froer on the other side, her voice getting quieter.
"Okay, I will win."
She said softly.
On the other side, Froer and Tina’s conversation was much smoother than the somewhat awkward interaction between Ryman and his daughter.
Although at first, Tina felt a bit like Isabella when facing Sister Froer, who was both a teacher and an older sister…
It was a sudden feeling of "shame," forced to confront and reflect on what she had done recently, along with a sense of "falling short" that made her feel sorry for her race and family…
However, Froer’s attitude was much better than Heidegger’s!
She didn’t think she had done anything wrong to Tina, and she was simply very happy about Tina’s "maturity."
However, she still maintained her authority as "Sister Froer."
"You girl, I told you that the ‘Holy Alliance’ was not a place for you to be, but you wouldn’t listen!"
"Now that you are captured, do you realize how serious this is? Really, do you know how worried your father and mother are? I am almost worn out from your uncle and aunt worrying!"
Facing the scolding from Sister Froer, Tina could only nod like a little chick pecking at rice.
"I’m sorry, Sister Froer, I realize I was wrong!"
"How do you know you were wrong? I see you are living quite well in this town, loved by your people, trusted by the lord, and you have a whole bunch of new friends!"
Froer continued to pretend to be angry and said.
"I… I really shouldn’t have worked for the demon race…"
Tina could only continue to meekly admit her mistakes.
"As long as you know… You still call that succubus ‘master’… Tsk, it seems that succubus has really enchanted your soul!"
Froer continued speaking, but when Tina heard this, she suddenly looked up.
"No, it’s not like that! Sister Froer!"
"I chose to call Lolth ‘master’, she didn’t force me!"
"I should not work for the demon race, but that succubus did not use any coercive measures on me… I just wanted to help the ordinary people here!"
"Actually, Sister Froer, you might not believe this, but Abyssal Demons are not evil… At least not as evil as the continent claims!"
"And Lolth is completely different from other demon races; she is talented, kind, has a good personality, and is beautiful…"
"In short, please don’t think that she did anything to me!"
After Tina finished speaking eagerly, Froer finally started to respond slowly.
"I didn’t say that her way of charming you is disgraceful… Look at you, Tina, you even learned to argue with me!"
Froer gently reached out a finger and tapped Tina’s head.
It suddenly dawned on Tina that there was not a trace of anger on her sister Froer’s face.
In fact, there was a faint, playful smile.
"You were so eager to say so much for your ‘Master Lolth’ in my eyes… You’ve really grown a lot, Tina."
Tina now completely understood that her sister could see everything, and her understanding of the Abyssal Demon and Lolth was clearer than she had imagined.
She was just trying to bait me!
"Sister Froer—you’re teasing me again!"
Tina’s ears perked up, and she lowered her head, shyly saying.
"Oh dear, you’ve noticed so quickly," Froer laughed, "You’ve really grown quite a lot, haven’t you?"
"However, I was teasing you a moment ago, but I wasn’t joking about your ‘growth.’"
"I have seen your ‘achievements.’"
"This neat and unique town, and the way the people from different backgrounds and races here truly care for you, along with the foolishness of Mora and his friends… all of this has made me very aware."
Froer chuckled softly, her fingertip resting on Tina’s forehead curled, and gently brushed Tina’s nose.
"Tina Leinster Crescent… you have truly grown up."
"You are now a capable and mature elf."
Then, the comforting smile on Froer’s face vanished, returning to her earlier playful expression.
Before Tina had a chance to feel touched, she leaned closer to her.
"Well then, sister, it’s time for me to teach you some things that a ‘mature fairy’ should know!"
