Chapter 212 Cleaning Up (13)
After a moment of shock, I quickly turned to look at Moon who was still staring at me.
Even during the banquet and the announcement, she had been staring at me the whole time. I had no idea just what she was staring at…
But when she saw that I was looking at her as well, she couldn’t help turning her gaze away slightly as a blush appeared on her face.
This…
Just what was this reaction?
Still, I tossed this thought out and turned back to the green haired elder.
She saw me looking at her and she just looked at me with a faint smile on her face, as if she wasn’t bothered by the questioning look in my eyes at all.𝒏𝑂𝗏𝑒𝗅𝑛𝔢xt.𝔠𝒪𝓜
Seeing this, I gave a sigh as I knew that I had no choice in this matter.
It wasn’t a bad thing that they were sending an envoy since this would allow our two groups to become closer. The problem is that if they come with us now, we won’t have anything prepared to welcome them with.
I would have preferred if they told us about this ahead of time so that I could have sent a message back to Baroness Rose and had her prepare to welcome the elves.
Even if I sent a message back now, it would be too late since they wouldn’t have the time to prepare.
I just hope that these elves wouldn’t mind…
But at the same time, I couldn’t help complaining that these elves really were too free and wild. They just did whatever they wanted and didn’t worry about what other people thought.
I was envious of this, but I was also a bit annoyed by this at the same time.
Still, what was done was done and there was nothing that could be done to change this.
So I just gave a sigh and thought about how to handle the elves when they came.
But that wasn’t the last announcement either.
The elves were quite excited about this news since most of them hadn’t left the village before. These were young elves that were curious about the world, so it was natural that many of them were interested in going as part of this envoy group.
It took a while for them to calm down, but when they did, the green haired elder continued by saying, “There’s one final announcement to make.”
When she said this, the chatter among the elves died down and they all turned their attention back to the green haired elder.
The green haired elder suddenly revealed a sad expression before saying, “It is regretful to inform you that our head warrior Apollo will be leaving us.”
When her voice fell, all of the elves revealed shocked looks.
Then they all looked around, trying to see if Apollo was here, but he wasn’t at the banquet. He hadn’t been here since the beginning since he had already left the village the day prior.
These elves had been too much in a celebratory mood after defeating the demons and solving the crisis of their forest, so they were focused on the banquet instead. Not a single one of them had noticed that Apollo hadn’t been here the entire time.
They had all assumed that he was off doing something else.
After giving the elves some time to react to this, the green haired elder continued to say, “Due to some personal matters, head warrior Apollo has already left our village and gone to handle them.”
All of the elves looked at each other with confused looks after hearing this.
Not a single one of them had heard a trace of this before, so they couldn’t help wondering just what kind of personal problems that Apollo was facing.
Even if he had the personality that he had, Apollo was still considered a popular person in this village.
So they naturally couldn’t help being curious as to why he had left the village.
Still, there wasn’t a single one of them that had an answer to this question.
But that didn’t stop them from coming up with their own theories as to why Apollo had left.
The green haired elder once again let them discuss this for a bit before dropping another bombshell on them.
“After some careful discussion, we have decided to cancel the engagement between Moon and Apollo. He has his matters to take care of and it is unknown how long it will take him to take care of these matters, so it would be unfair to Moon to force her to wait. As such, we have agreed with Apollo to cancel this engagement and allow Moon to live her life as she wishes.”
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Everyone couldn’t help looking at Moon this time.
There were many strange gazes among these elves, almost as if they were suspecting that something had happened between Moon and Apollo that had caused him to leave.
Everyone in the village had known about this engagement between the two because these two were the most outstanding young people in the village. This engagement was surely one that would decide the future leaders of their village, so everyone cared about it.
But now that it was broken up, they were all curious about what had happened.
Moon saw everyone looking at her, but she didn’t mind that at all as her gaze was still on Zwein.
From the beginning, she hadn’t moved her gaze from Zwein the entire time.
Once again, after some time, the green haired elder said, “I hope that everyone will respect the privacy of the parties involved and don’t bother them too much. I know that this is a very sad matter, but it is something that they have decided for themselves, so there is nothing that we can do about it.”
All of the elves seemed like they understood, but there were still many that were peeking at Moon out of the corner of their eyes.
Moon just ignored all of this still as she kept staring at me.
After the green haired elder had made all of her announcements, the banquet went into full swing once more.
This banquet went late into the night and many people were sleeping out under the stars as they fell over from being drunk.
