The shop owner had already packed all his belongings. He had so much luggage that it was quite difficult for him. Kazien sighed as he watched the elf struggling to carry his belongings.
"I'll help you carry all your things!"
He put all the shop owner's belongings into his storage dimension.
"Your storage dimension magic is so practical!" the shop owner praised.
"If only I had the transparent element." He sighed, somewhat disappointed.
"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Just be grateful for what you have now. Let's go!"
The three of them left the shop and returned to the villa. Virena was still wondering about the old man her brother had just recruited. That curiosity continued to rage in her mind.
Upon arriving at the villa, the man was surprised by a herd of griffons relaxing in the courtyard.
Why were there so many griffons here? Had they been tamed?
"Have you tamed them?"
"No! They have sworn loyalty and are willing to become the fighting force of the Altavis family!"
"Are you kidding me? How could monsters like them submit to humans!"
"You're right! But they only submit to those stronger than them! Even though they're monsters, they understand what we're talking about."
The elf man's expression changed. He truly didn't expect that the monsters known for their ferocity could understand the everyday language of all the races in the world.
"If you're attacked by griffons, just ask the others. Did they attack the griffons first?"
"What do you mean?" the man asked, confused.
"Griffons will never attack anyone unless you enter their territory or attack them first."
Kazien stared at the elf's face and continued his words.
"If you're attacked by a person or a monster, you'll definitely fight back, right?"
"Of course! Who wants to be attacked and die a stupid death like that?"
"That's what they did to you! The griffons will also remember your actions because you attacked them first!"
That man finally understood why the griffons he knew were always wary and even didn't hesitate to attack the elves when they crossed paths.
Alvin, noticing their arrival, immediately came out of the villa to greet them.
"My dear, you've—"
Alvin was shocked to see the elf before him. The elf man was similarly shocked to see the high elf before him.
"Why is there an elf here -/- Why is there a high elf here?" They asked simultaneously.
Virena was shocked after hearing Alvin's words.
"Kazien, are you saying this old man is an elf and you already know his true identity?"
"Didn't I tell you that he used illusion magic when we were still in his shop?"
The man still didn't believe it but wanted to confirm it again.
"Are you a member of the Latreess royal family?" The elf man asked to confirm.
"You're right! I'm Alvin Dass'el Latreess, son of Atlasion Dass'el Latress and Sylvina!"
The elf man immediately saluted him.
"Why are you saluting? Right now I'm just a prospective wife of Kazien Altavis! Just give that salute to him and not me!"
"Aren't you already a man? Why did you become a man's wife too?"
"Because he likes men and saved my life when I was dying! And now, I feel happy to be his prospective wife."
"Then, how did you get here and how is His Majesty doing?"
"My father sent me here using random teleportation magic at the expense of himself! It seems the Latress kingdom has been destroyed by the actions of the demon race and the dragons!"
Not only was that old man shocked, Virena was also shocked after learning about the terrible fact.
So, that's why Alvin suddenly found himself on this continent? No wonder he's so loyal to my brother.
"If you value the person who accepted you, throw away that illusion magic and be yourself!"
"Don't you ever use illusion magic whenever you're outside the house?"
"Never! I'm prouder to be myself without having to hide it!"
The answer Alvin said was like a slap in his face very hard. And in the end, that old man took off the necklace around his neck and destroyed it.
Virena was stunned speechless when she saw the old man transform into a handsome elf man with long green hair.
"Hahaha." Kazien laughed loudly after seeing the elf man destroy his necklace.
"My dear, why are you laughing?" Alvin asked in surprise.
"Because that man just got slapped so hard by your words! I wanted to keep his identity a secret, but he ended up revealing it himself. Hahaha."
Kazien approached the elf man and asked him: "What is your name?"
"My name is Sarias, young master!"
"Why are you suddenly being so formal and using honorifics with me?"
"Because from now on I will be working under the orders of the Altavis family!"
"Is it because of this Alvin's presence that has made you feel confident in my family?"
"You're right! And another reason is because you are the future husband of His Highness Prince Alvin."
"Instead of you talking outside, it's better if we go inside!" Virena suddenly suggested.
Inside the house, Sarias's presence surprised them. No one had ever expected to see another elf. They were very surprised how Kazien managed to find another elf. But not Selena. She had a feeling that this elf was the one Kazien was going to introduce to her.
"Kazien, is this the elf man you were going to introduce me to?"
"Of course not! I said to wait until we get to Lazavis, right?"
Selena continued to stare at Sarias' face without blinking. But no one noticed that Selena was paying attention to the handsome elf, exept Kazien.
Is she interested in Sarias? To be sure, I will take him into the room and check it myself!
"Sarias, come with me into the room because there is one thing I want to confirm with you!"
Without any suspicion, Sarias followed him into the room.
"What does he want to confirm?" William asked curiously.
"He wanted to check Sarias' gender. Elves don't have a gender to begin with." Alvin replied.
"How did you become a man?" Selena asked.
"It was Kazien's wish. I originally wanted to be a woman. But he firmly refused and asked me to be a man."
"That's not what I meant! But how do elves change their gender?"
"Oh… When it comes to that, there are two ways! The first is when we fall in love. And the second is according to our own wishes! But the second way requires us to see and touch someone's genitals first! Just like I had to hold and see Kazien's genitals first when I wanted to become a man. But not many elves want to use the second way!"
While they were discussing the gender of the elves, Kazien came out of the room. They asked him in unison. "What is that elf gender?"
Kazien was stunned and surprised when he saw all of them who were very enthusiastic and couldn't wait to find out Sarias' gender.
"Sarias doesn't have a gender yet! I'm even confused about what to call these genderless elves!"
"We call them sine ese!" Alvin chimed in, responding to his complaint.
"Oh... So, that's what you guys usually call when you don't have a gender yet?"
Alvin nodded, confirming his future husband's statement.
"Young master, forgive me for being presumptuous. Are you sure you want to marry His Majesty as the man he is?"
"Of course, Sarias! If he becomes a woman, I will never accept him even if he prostrates at my feet!"
"What is your reason for choosing him as a man?"
