All members of Duke Elgard's family were gathered at the dining table to eat dinner together. But something was different. Currently there were Rosalia and her two younger sisters.
Her first younger sister is Raliana, who is now 15 years old. And her second younger sister is Ritania, who is now 11 years old.
"Wow! If only you two were boys, your faces would be cute-"
Slap! A hard blow had hit the back of his head.
"Ouch! It hurts. Why did you hit my head?"
"Didn't you realize what you said earlier?" Alvin asked annoyed.
"I realized! I was only complimenting her cute face and didn't mean anything else! And I swear!"
"Wow, wow, wow, my little brother dared to make his future wife jealous. Right in front of his eyes too."
Kazien immediately turned and glared at Virena sharply.
"Sis Virena, are you happy to see me suffer?"
"I'm happy to see you suffer because of your blunt mouth. And because of your actions, Alvin became jealous. Hahaha."
Kazien scowled at her and threatened her.
"I won't be held by you again!"
Virena was taken aback and immediately approached him.
"Ah… come on, don't be like that. Are you going to sulk so easily?"
Kazien turned his face away, showing his pouting face.
"If you don't want to be held by me, I won't tell you where the good magic books are in the Vorusan region later."
Kazien, who was thirsty for knowledge and magic, immediately melted.
"Hurry up and sit there and I'll sit on your lap! I don't even mind if we feed each other!"
"Really? Let's do it! My little sister is really cute and understanding."
Alvin could only smile wryly at the siblings' behavior. And he seemed to forget the incident that had made him jealous. As for Duke Elgard and Duchess Larina, they could only shake their heads at Virena and Kazien's behavior.
"Geez, you two both have your own secret weapons when it comes to arguing," William said expressionlessly.
"Brother William, you better shut up! If it weren't for Kazien, Davin, and Alvin, you would never have dared to propose to Rosalia!"
Those harsh words hit the nail on the head. William couldn't retort. Davin burst out laughing at his three siblings' antics.
Rosalia thought: I never thought the atmosphere in this mansion would be so lively. These siblings can live in harmony with one another. What a strong bond of brotherhood. I too must be able to emulate this family so that my two siblings will always get along and love each other.
"Wow… holding Kazien on my lap is the best thing ever! If only you were as small as you used to be, it would be so much fun to feed you."
"Sorry to disappoint you with my ever-growing body!"
"Davin, do you want me to hold you too?"
"No, thank you!" he answered firmly.
The atmosphere at the dining table was a little rowdy due to Virena and Kazien's constant arguing over silly things.
"Father, I have a question! Are there any books about alchemy here?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the merchant guild sells several books about alchemy and other magic books. What's wrong?"
"I'll buy them tomorrow. Because I want to learn about alchemy!"
"Is that so? Just take the money from our family vault if you want to buy those magic books!"
"No need, father. We both have enough money from our work as adventurers."
Duke Elgard and the others were quite surprised after hearing her words.
"Kazien, are you serious?"
"I'm very serious, father. We're both already S-rank adventurers!" he replied while handing over his license card.
Duke Elgard and Duchess Larina couldn't believe what they were seeing. No one would have ever imagined that Kazien and Alvin would become S-rank adventurers at the age of 13. And that was a truly remarkable achievement. They were the only two to reach S-rank at their current age.
"We're truly proud of you two for achieving such an impossible feat at such a young age."
"But, why is your party named like this? What does Altareess mean?" Duchess Larina asked.
"Ah... The name Altareess comes from the combination of the Altavis and Latreess family names."
Alvin nodded, confirming Kazien's statement.
"Hahaha. I never thought you'd use the combination of two family names as your party name!" Duke Elgard chimed in.
William, Virena, Davin, and Rosalia, the four of them, were proud of their achievements.
"Behind your cute faces, you've got immense power hidden, huh?" Virena praised, gently pinching her brother's cheek.
"Sis Virena, don't pinch my cheeks like that. They'll become saggy!"
"After hearing your complaints, at least you're still the cute Kazien I know. Hahaha"
"Of course I am! Am I going to turn into a monster?" Kazien exclaimed in annoyance.
"Hahaha. Your annoyed face is also very cute!"
Duke Elgard and Duchess Larina weren't worried about Kazien.
It's true! No matter how strong he is, he's still the Kazien we know. But, I still can't believe that my 13-year-old son is already an S-rank adventurer.
"William, Kazien, Alvin, Rosalia, at your wedding, I will announce your engagement to the public! Prepare your best outfits for that moment!"
The four of them agreed that the engagement should be announced to the public. But not Virena and Davin. They both glared at Kazien, making him break out in a cold sweat.
"Come on, don't look at me like that! Sis Virena, why don't you just marry Commander Hellius' son? Victor is handsome, strong, and kind! I think he's very suitable to be your husband. As for Brother Davin, I want to find out about Rio's younger sister! If his younger sister is worthy of you, I'll introduce her to you!"
"Victor?" Virena asked, making sure.
"Rio's younger sister?" Davin replied enthusiastically.
Kazien nodded.
"If you give Victor such high marks..."
Virena looked at her mother and father. "Father, mother, how about it, do you agree with Victor being my future husband?"
Duke Elgard and Duchess Larina looked at each other. They both still couldn't believe that their youngest son had become the mainstay of his older siblings to find a partner.
"Oh my, since when did your younger brother become a matchmaker like that? Previously, it was Rosalia who he introduced to William. Now it's you two?"
"We trust his judgment!" Virena and Davin answered in unison.
William also nodded in agreement with their words. Kazien responded with a wide smile on his face.
"If that's your decision, your mother and I can only bless your happiness!"
They cheered happily at their parents' decision.
"Kazien, tomorrow you try to meet Rio's younger sister that you mentioned. Because we don't have much time left. It's better, the engagement of the four of you should announce there!"
"Okay, father! Tomorrow I'll go to-"
"I'll come with you!" Davin replied, cutting him off.
Kazien immediately turned to look at Davin's face. He saw the curious look in his older brother's eyes. Kazien sighed.
"Okay, okay, you will come with me. I can't stop you anymore if you're this curious." He answered resignedly.
William and Virena burst out laughing.
"Hahaha. Even Kazien, who likes to talk bluntly, can't do anything if Davin is curious about something."
"Hahaha."
"Why are you two laughing? What's wrong with me wanting to see Rio's little sister with my own eyes?"
"Hahaha. No one will blame you."
After witnessing everything unfold before her eyes, Rosalia understood the siblings' relationship very clearly.
Not only were they close and close, but they also knew each other's personalities.
As morning approached, Kazien and Davin prepared to go to Rio's house. However, Alvin chose to stay at the mansion because he needed to continue learning how to cook and prepare all the clothes he would take with him to the Vorusan region.
