Along the streets of Lazavis, Kazien and Davin were walking towards Rio's house. Kazien was always focused on the map in his hand.
"Kazien, why don't we just use a carriage?"
"That's so conspicuous! And I don't want our presence to attract too many people's attention!"
Alvin held Kazien's face and forced him to look left and right.
"Look! It's precisely because we're walking like this that has made us even more conspicuous!"
Kazien didn't expect that everyone was watching them both. But he didn't take it all seriously.
He returned to focusing on the map in his hand and didn't even care about everyone's stares? Who knows how strong this kid's mentality is!
Davin looked at his brother with a look of surprise and amazement at him.
Their footsteps stopped in front of a wooden house with a simple appearance.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The door was knocked on. But Davin panicked because Kazien didn't think twice and immediately knocked on the house.
Creak!
The door opened. A beautiful woman had opened the door and welcomed their arrival.
"Yes? What do you need to come here?" she asked politely.
"Is Rio home?" Kazien asked.
"Ah… You two are looking for Brother Rio? He's still working at the guild."
"What's your name and how old are you?" Davin asked suddenly.
Don't tell me Brother Davin has already fallen for her. His personality completely changed once his curiosity was gone. What a troublesome older brother…
"I'm Karen, Rio's younger sister. I'm almost 16."
"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked again.
"I don't have one yet!"
Davin felt like he had to propose to her right now. But suddenly, Kazien immediately pulled at her clothes.
"What are you thinking? Why do you want to tell her so soon? Aren't you afraid she'll think we're crazy?"
"I don't care! I have to tell her how I feel!"
Kazien sighed. But on the other hand, Karen was confused and curious at the same time. Because the two handsome men in front of her were currently whispering to each other.
"Just do whatever you want. At least let me talk to her!"
Davin nodded in agreement.
"May we come in? There's something I want to ask you!" Kazien asked a little hesitantly.
And luckily, Karen invited them into the house.
Once in the living room, the three of them sat down on the chairs there.
"What do you need to talk to me about?"
"Yesterday I asked Rio about his little sister, and he said he had one."
"And then?" Karen asked, as if urging Kazien to tell the truth.
Kazien understood perfectly well the meaning of the single word he was asked. However, he didn't want to rush.
"He gave me his home address so I could meet his younger sister. My intention here was to introduce my brother, Davin, to you. It seems he's very interested in you and wants to get to know you better."
Karen gaped in disbelief at what she heard from the man in front of her.
"Hello, I'm Davin Altavis. Karen, I want you to be my future wife!"
The sudden proposal shocked her, leaving her speechless like an idiot. Kazien slapped his forehead because Davin had immediately expressed his intentions to Karen.
"Why are you slapping your forehead like that? Do you have a headache?"
Kazien grabbed Davin's shirt and glared at him sharply.
"It's because of you that my head hurts! Can't you introduce yourself casually?"
Kazien pointed at Karen and spoke quite firmly to Davin: "Look! You've shocked her like that!"
Davin turned his head and saw Karen staring blankly, unblinking. He realized a fatal mistake that could possibly make his proposal fail completely.
"Karen?"
The call brought Karen back to reality.
"You don't have to answer now. My brother's proposal might have come as a sudden shock to you. I'm sorry."
"I-It's okay. But why would a noble like you propose to a commoner like me?"
"Altavis family doesn't look at your social status! If you're willing, our parents will agree and bless your marriage."
It was a very tempting offer for anyone, but also very risky for her. Karen always considered everything carefully and thoroughly.
I shouldn't rush. I also don't know what their true intentions are in proposing to me so suddenly like this.
"I don't know what you're thinking! But Rio trusts me and I definitely have to repay his trust. If my brother hurts you, I'll be the one to punish him myself!"
The blunt statement made Karen flinch and fall silent. Davin realized that Karen didn't trust them all along.
It's no wonder my cute brother was annoyed with me for suddenly proposing to her. Judging by her reaction, Karen hadn't trusted us from the start.
"If you agree, starting today you'll live with us in the mansion. Because the day after tomorrow, we have to attend our eldest sister's wedding in the Vorusan region."
"Do I have to come too if I accept his proposal?"
"Of course you have to come! Because that's where your engagement will be announced to the public! If you still don't believe us, just take Rio with you when you head to the Vorusan region!"
"After hearing what you said, I'm sure everything you said is the truth. I'll tell Brother Rio so he can come with me."
"So that means…" Davin suddenly replied.
"Yes, I accept your proposal."
Davin felt happy. He immediately hugged Kazien who had tried so hard to convince Karen to accept his proposal.
Great! My brother is truly great! He can make others believe in him. His charisma as a leader is clearly visible from within him. But looking at him now, he would never have the desire to be a leader, let alone compete with his own sibling.
Kazien stood up and wanted to go to the guild.
"Where are you going?" Davin asked curiously.
"To the guild and pick up Rio! You stay here and don't do anything strange to Karen!"
"How could I do such a despicable thing!" He replied irritably.
"Okay, I entrust Karen to you, Davin. I'll be going now."
He left the house and hurried to the guild.
"Young master, what is your younger brother's name and age?"
"His name is Kazien Altavis and he's currently 13 years old."
Karen was very surprised to hear that Kazien was almost 3 years younger than her.
"Seriously? I never thought he was still 13. Because his way of thinking and speaking are no longer like someone his age."
"Hahaha. That's the truth!"
"Excuse me for asking about this. But, isn't he interested in becoming the leader of this Altavis region?"
"He's not interested. The reason is because he won't be able to have children and he's also not interested in troublesome things!"
Karen was a little curious about what he had said before. She became even more interested in knowing.
"Why?"
"Because my younger brother likes cute boys and he just wants to live freely without being tied to ridiculous rules."
Karen never thought that the handsome Kazien would be interested in men.
"Currently, he already has a handsome yet cute man who is his fiancé. You'll find out soon when you arrive at the mansion."
Karen became increasingly curious about who the man was.
I'd heard rumors that a high elf lived in this town. And that high elf was always with young master Kazien. My brother had also told me about the rumor.
"Is that person the high elf the people of this town have been talking about?"
"You're right! His personality is just like my little brother's. Hahaha."
