Chapter 162: Gifts (1/2)

There was still some time for the Elf Queen arrival, so Rina and Seth started a conversation about other topics. Seth seemed to know how to lead the conversation, always picking a topic that Rina considered as interesting, making her kind of forget the initial embarrassment.

Rina found that it was really enjoyable to talk with Seth, because he was able to make her feel comfortable, making their earlier conversation seem like it was a casual talk, since he somehow eased her emotions while guiding her attention to other matters.

While time was passing, they talked about the places Seth had visited inside the Human Territory, and the places he planned to bring her.

Like that, time passed by till it was almost evening.

When they least expected, they heard someone knocking on the door. The Elf Queen arrived a bit earlier, entering the house and meeting Seth and her daughter.

”Mom!”

”Rina? Oh? You seem to be really comfortable there.”

Rina was kind of lazily laying down on Seth's bed, while Seth was sitting on the ground and checking some things inside his spatial ring.

”Arwen, you're back. Were you able to do the things you wanted to?” Seth smiled while greeting her.

”I did it. I was resolving many things and at the same time, doing a very special thing for you, Rina.”

”Uh? Me?”

”Yeah, I've prepared a gift for your journey.”

”A gift?!” Rina stood up quickly, moving towards her mother with an expectant look.

”Here, look.” Arwen suddenly willed, and some items left her spatial ring.

The first thing Rina saw, was a green hooded cape that had many golden leaves imprinted on it, creating a very beautiful pattern. She took that exquisite cape on her hands, feeling the smoothness of the silk.

”Mother... Where did you get this?” She asked with sparkling eyes.

”Did you like it?”

”Uhum.”

”It was personally made by me.”

”What?! You did it yourself?”

”Yes. This cape is something I did after using everything we had left of the precious Heavenly Silk. It is a very special fabric able to hold a huge quantity of Mana. So, I used some of our Royal Family legacy arts to create a special protective formation when making it. Right now that it is done, it had transformed into a magical artifact able to protect you from danger. Remember to ever use it, alright?”

”Mom, I love you! You're the best. Thank you so much.”

”I love you too Rina. There is something really interesting about that hooded cape too. When the hood is up, the formation it contains will activate, not letting anyone see through your face. They will only be able to see a blurred image, so you won't need to use that strange white mask of the Secret Security Unit anymore.”

”Really?! This is the best!” Rina got excited and started to wear it immediately.

Arwen laughed and said: ”Take this spatial ring too. It contains everything you will need for your journey. Make sure to check the things I've put inside later.”

”Alright.”

Arwen turned towards Seth and said: ”Seth, I'm sorry but I didn't have anything that I could give you as a parting gift. However, I have something that I can give you right now.”

Seth felt like he already knew what it was. It was something he would like to receive even more than a material gift, something he would be able to fully appreciate.

Arwen approached him, ignoring the fact that her daughter was right beside them and put her arms behind his neck. She started to kiss him seductively, doing what he wanted to do.

Rina couldn't believe she was witnessing her mother making out with a man she felt something for. At times like this previously, she would certainly feel envy and bad emotions, just like what she felt when Caizhi kissed him, back at the Central Stadium. However, after the talk she had with Seth, she realized that those bad feelings were lessening and her interest on him was growing instead.

As she looked towards her mother and Seth, many complicated thoughts were coming and going inside her head, but a certain main line of thought was ever returning to her head.

'Why it isn't with me?'

Arwen and Seth separated while feeling the Soul Link between them. That link made them feel a sense of completeness.

”I will miss you Arwen.”

”I will miss you too, Seth. Make sure you go easy on my daughter, alright?”

Seth smiled and said: ”Don't worry, I've told her that I would never do something she didn't wish for.”

”I see...” Arwen noticed the loophole on his speech, but she didn't say anything. She knew that if there was someone that deserved her daughter, it would be Seth.

His talents, his personality, his body, hist strength, everything about him was top notch in her eyes.

”Let's go Rina. This is going to be your first adventure, so make sure to follow my instructions to avoid doing unnecessary or dangerous stuff.”
