Duke Elgard's answer left Sarias momentarily speechless. He didn't know what to do when faced with the topic of marriage. For elves, marriage was something very sacred and couldn't be done carelessly.
Then, Sarias looked at Kazien and Alvin who were embracing each other.
If His Majesty could be happy with his choice, could I also find happiness with this woman?
"Why are you staring at the two of us? Are you hesitating? Just take it slow. If you don't want to be with her, just refuse! If you want to be with her, please make my sister happy until the end of her life."
Sarias was increasingly cornered by Kazien's words. He looked back at Selena's beautiful face beside him.
She was indeed very beautiful. Young Master Kazien had also once wanted his older sister as his wife. I'm sure his high opinion wasn't without reason.
"But what about the vast difference in lifespan between elves and humans, young master?" Sarias asked reassuringly.
"We'll talk about it again when we arrive in Lazavis! For now, just tell me your answer!"
Sarias was certain that Kazien had a solution to the difference in lifespan between elves and humans. After thinking it over carefully, he decided to give an answer.
"I believe in your words, young master. If you have that much faith, then there is no reason for me to doubt your decision!"
"So, what is your answer?" Kazien asked again.
"I am willing to be Miss Selena's future husband."
Selena was very happy that Sarias had agreed to be her husband. However, something unexpected happened.
Thud! Sarias fainted. Everyone panicked seeing Sarias unconscious.
"What happened to him?"
When they wanted to carry his body and move it to the chair, Alvin immediately forbade them.
"Please don't touch his body. He is currently in the process of gender formation. If his body is touched, it will be very dangerous for his life."
After hearing his explanation, they all immediately abandoned their plans to carry Sarias' unconscious body. All they could do now was wait for Sarias to regain consciousness.
Selena even sat on the floor to accompany him until the handsome elf regained consciousness.
King Nalvon couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Previously a high elf. And now there is an elf in front of me. What kind of coincidence is this? And these two elves have been found by Kazien Altavis. What is the connection between Kazien Altavis and these elves that even I myself have never seen an elf in my life. Not only the entire Altavis family, the elf named Sarias also seemed to trust him very much.
A few minutes later Sarias came to from his fainting. He looked around and was shocked to see Selena sitting next to him.
"W-Why are you sitting on the floor, Miss Selena? You shouldn't be sitting there!" Sarias exclaimed in panic.
"Don't say unnecessary things. I wanted to sit here."
Sarias sat down and looked around again. Everyone was staring at him.
"Have your changes been successful?" Alvin asked to confirm.
"You are right, Your Highness. Now I am a man!"
"I am happy for your success. But, why do you always call me 'Your Highness, Your Highness' like that?"
"That's because you are the rightful heir to the Latreess kingdom! It's absolutely impossible for me to say anything rude to a member of the royal family!"
"Oh my…." he replied resignedly.
Then, Alvin chose to remain silent and say nothing more, focusing only on holding Kazien tightly and enjoying the embrace he felt.
"Is Kazien's lap your throne?" Davin asked with the intention of teasing him.
"Of course, brother Davin! His lap is the best throne I have. I feel peaceful and comfortable when I sit on his lap!"
That comfort had made Alvin no longer care about everyone around him. But unexpectedly, Alvin fell asleep soundly on Kazien's lap who had been hugging him all this time.
"So, why did father and mother bring Your Majesty here? Is there something important you want to say?" William asked starting a serious conversation.
"That's right! It's better if I let Your Majesty say it directly!"
Everyone had already sat in their respective places in the living room. King Nalvon began to explain the purpose of his visit to them.
"After Marquis Jastiver's death, most of his territory has been taken over by the Altavis family. So, one of you must stay here and become a count!"
Without hesitation, Kazien immediately answered firmly: "I'm not interested!" to King Nalvon.
"I'm not interested, Your Majesty." Selena replied.
"Sister Virena can become a countess! With Victor as the head of the family, I'm sure they would be very suitable to lead this city!" Davin replied.
Virena couldn't believe that her three siblings were truly serious. She had no other choice and resignedly accepted that title.
"Very well, Your Majesty! I will take on that responsibility!"
Duke Elgard and Duchess Larina were relieved that Virena was willing to become the ruler of Joltam.
"Virena Altavis, starting today you are a countess! After returning to the capital, I will immediately take care of all the official documents."
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty! I will carry out my duties as a countess to the best of my ability!"
Kazien smiled in relief but felt a little uneasy inside.
Even though I have to part ways with my sister , but I'm sure this is the best for her. I will definitely miss her teasing me. As time goes by, our life together in one house as sister and brother will end soon. Because in the future, the four of us will live our own lives.
No one knows Kazien's true feelings about them.
"Selena, William, Virena, Davin! In two months, your wedding will be held together! As for Kazien, your engagement will be held that night!"
The sudden decision made by his father surprised them, but they could not deny it.
For Kazien, it was something he had been looking forward to. Because when he was engaged to Alvin, he could put the ring on his ring finger. But he was still thinking about Raliana who wanted a future husband.
"Father, mother, I have a request!"
"What is your request, Kazien?"
"Please adopt Raliana and Ritalia. Because later, Raliana will be the future wife of Dave, the son of Deputy Commander Waxler!"
Raliana and Ritalia never expected that Kazien would ask something unexpected like that of his parents. If they were both adopted by the Altavis family, both of them would have noble status.
"Your mother and I will adopt them both. Is there anything else you want?"
"Then, I have two more requests?"
"Just say them all, Kazien!"
"The first! Please make Rio a member of the supervisory body that reports on the growth of the Altavis Region! Secondly, please form a magic army and a griffon-riding air force for the Altavis Territory!"
Kazien's request was unexpected. Even Rio couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Are you sure about your decision?" Duke Elgard asked, confirming.
"I am very sure, father! I am very aware that the diplomatic relationship between the Garveon kingdom and the Ignias kingdom is very bad! Isn't it better for us to take a stand to face any worst possibilities that may happen in the future?"
Hearing his words had made everyone think that Kazien was the one who had the potential to be a great leader.
"I know what you are thinking! But I am not interested in power! I prefer to move from behind the scenes rather than having to appear in public and always put on a fake smile in front of everyone."
His words ended with a wide smile on his face.
In king Nalvon's mind: Kazien Altavis! He is very intelligent and has a critical mindset. Is he really only 13 years old? If he had been born into the royal family, he would surely have been able to bring about great changes to this kingdom. Duke Elgard and Duchess Larina are very fortunate to have such a talented descendant.
