Kazien stared at Sarias's face. And then he looked at Alvin's face. But Alvin also seemed to be eagerly awaiting the answer that would come out of his mouth.
Kazien loudly replied: "Of course because he's cute! Look at his face! Isn't that a strong enough reason why I can choose him?"
Alvin became flustered when Kazien praised his cute face in front of everyone.
"Don't you have feelings for other cute boys?"
"None! Before meeting him, there were tons of cute boys in Lazavis city. But no one could charm me, except Alvin! I feel satisfied because my wish has come true!"
"Wish? What wish?" Selena asked curiously.
"My Sisters and my Brothers, do you remember when I always went to the library before I became an adventurer?"
The four of them nodded.
"Well, at that time I was reading world history books. And at that time I also hoped to meet a cute-faced elf!"
His answer made them look at Kazien's face with disbelief.
"Especially when Sis Selena insisted that I bring a bride to her wedding. At that time, I prayed to Goddess Nirfelia to meet a cute-faced elf! But for some reason, I suddenly got lost in the forest while doing a mission from the guild. And at that moment, I met Alvin who was dying! I was captivated by his cute face. I didn't want to waste that opportunity and begged him to be my wife! As you know, in the end, he accepted me as his future husband!"
"So, marrying a cute-faced male elf was your wish from the beginning?" William asked with a shocked expression.
Kazien nodded and then smiled widely at him.
"No wonder you treat him so special."
Now, Alvin knew the reason why Kazien proposed to him without thinking.
So, marrying an elf was his wish from the beginning? Honestly, I felt happy. Since his wish had been granted, it was only right that I always be by his side forever. You are truly the best! I love you so much!
"Sit down! I really want to hug you while being held by you!"
Kazien sat down on the sofa, and Alvin sat on his lap without hesitation. He hugged his future husband tightly and closed his eyes.
"Hey, Alvin, is sitting on his lap really that comfortable?" Selena asked curiously.
"Of course! When I sit on his lap, I feel comfortable and at peace. All the negative feelings I've been having disappear completely!"
"So, that's why you always sit on his lap during our journey to Joltam?"
"Yes, sister Virena. Even the king's throne wouldn't be comparable to his lap!"
Now, the curiosity that had always been raging in their minds had been answered. Finally, they understood why Alvin always wanted to sit on Kazien's lap without feeling awkward, embarrassed, or afraid in front of everyone.
Alvin also looked very happy when sitting on his lap so they all decided not to question it anymore.
"Sarias, it seems my oldest sister is interested in you. Are you willing to be her husband?"
"Young master Kazien, are you joking?"
"Why would I joke with you? I already know my sisters' personalities very well!"
Sarias couldn't believe that a famous noble princess would have feelings for him. He immediately looked at Selena's face and stared at her earnestly. From her feet to her head, he continued to examine her carefully.
I admit she is very beautiful. But, the maximum life span between humans and elves is very different.
"Sorry, I'm not refusing. Don't you already know that elves have a much longer lifespan than humans?"
"Of course I know that. It all depends on the answer she gives."
"But it's very difficult for elves and humans to produce offspring. There's only about a 10% chance of having children."
"I don't mind! If I marry you, I'll have a reason to live longer in this world. And I can also keep an eye on my cute little brother!" Selena suddenly chimed in.
Kazien immediately understood and felt happy after hearing what his older sister had just said. As for Sarias, he was confused by what he had just heard.
What did she mean that young master Kazien have the ability to extend her lifespan if his sister married me?
"Hahaha. I agree with you, sis Selena. You can take our place in keeping an eye on our cute little brother!"
Davin's sudden statement was immediately agreed by William and Virena. Saries was even more confused by the conversation between the siblings. His curiosity grew stronger.
"Sarias, if you refuse, I swear I'll torture you!"
"W-What? Why do you want to torture me?" Sarias exclaimed in panic.
"It's because of my sister! He'll definitely demand everything I said to him in the past."
"What did you say to him?" Virena asked curiously.
"Hahaha. When he was little, he said he wanted to marry me when he grew up," Selena replied, answering her question.
Suddenly, they were all shocked. Even Alvin immediately released his embrace and looked at his future husband's face.
His gaze was one of shock and disbelief.
"My dear, have you ever proposed to Sis Selena?"
"I've said it before. At that time, I was so captivated by her charisma. Selena is strict but loves the four of us very much. In our eyes, she is the perfect person."
His statement was further reinforced by his three other siblings.
"Kazien is right!" they exclaimed in unison.
"But why don't you marry her?" Alvin asked again,
"I realize that it is absolutely impossible for me to marry her. The reason is because she is my biological sister. But as I get older, my feelings for women have faded. And as you know, I am really not interested in women anymore. But for some reason I always feel nervous when I am near Selena. Hahaha."
"So, that's how you really feel about your sister?"
The familiar voice in their ears has made the atmosphere in the living room fall silent. Everyone turned to the direction where the voice came from. They were surprised by the arrival of their parents and King Nalvon.
However, the three of them were even more shocked by the figure of an elf next to Selena.
"Elf? Why is there another elf here?" Duke Elgard asked, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"I accidentally met him while buying a magic book. He used illusion magic to hide his identity. But that illusion magic would have no effect in front of me or Alvin!"
Duke Elgard and King Nalvon could only be stunned while staring at the handsome, silver-haired teenager's face. However, not for Duchess Larina. She was still thinking about her youngest son's words.
"Forget about the elf for a moment! Now answer me! Do you still have feelings for Selena?"
Duchess Larina's tone sounded like that of a normal questioner. However, her five children could feel the immense pressure from the question.
"Mother, I no longer have any intention of marrying Selena. Right now, I only have feelings of love from a younger sibling for his older sibling."
Duchess Larina was relieved that her youngest son no longer wanted to marry his older sister.
"So, who is that elf?"
"He's Sarias. And it seems like Sis Selena is interested in him. That's why I want him to be Sis Selena's husband."
Her parents stared at Selena, wanting to confirm the truth. Selena became uncertain. Her feelings were mixed as her parents stared at her.
What should I do?
Although she was silent for a moment, Selena finally nodded in agreement with her brother's words.
"If you really have feelings for her, make her fall in love with you."
"But, do you mind if it will be difficult for the two of us to have a child?" Sarias asked suddenly.
"Your name is Sarias, right?"
"You are right, Lord Duke Elgard. I am Sarias!"
"I don't care about that! If my daughter is happy with her choice, there's no way for us to destroy her happiness."
