Chapter 981: Dinning With An Elven Noble Family

"What is this? Is this really a carriage? It's like… made of metal, and it moves on its own! It's more like a golem!" Said Erika.
As we moved across the streets of Emerald Fountain, the largest port city in the continent, everyone was amazed by Everfrost's "carriage". I remember seeing a car like this before, in my previous life.
It was made of metal as they said, and it worked using a magic engine. This was pretty much what dwarven technology was in this world.
"Yep, this is like a golem, we call these Horseless Carriages!" Said Alberta.
That is by no means a better name than just calling it Carriage though.
"They originate from my homeland!" Alberta added. "Looks like the elven kingdom has been equipped with my homelands technology, it is such a joy to see."
Dwarven technology was very advanced compared to the rest. They pretty much invented cars, airships, trains, robots, and many other technologies, and even screens that project images. Although it is not widespread enough to create TV, yet.
"That's so interesting, I guess we could try importing them to our homeland too, eventually. Imagine our city with these, it would be so easy to move around, now that it has gotten so large." Eric said.
"I suppose so." I nodded. "Once we visit Alberta's homeland, we could negotiate something. We don't lack funds now that the mithril mines are finally freed from a certain glutton."
As I said those words, I felt a card shaking angrily inside my grimoire. It seems Bestellen is so strong he can even slightly control his card form, amazingly enough.
"Here we are, everyone."
Everfrost led us inside the enormous and beautiful manor, which resembled more like a palace than a manor. Why did she even call it a manor? Trying to be humble, I presume?
"Wow, so big and spacious!" Erika looked around the interior.
"It is so well decorated." Elizabeth smiled.
"Yeah, it is a really nice place!" Alberta agreed.
"True! True!" Saphira floated around in her ghostly form, scaring some of the servants that greeted us. "Heheh, opsie! Sorry!"
"I can see that you girls got some good sense of fashion." Smiled Everfrost. "And you all, don't worry. That girl is one of the Summoner's Spirits, treat her well."
"V-Very well…" The servants nodded obediently.
Elfriedden's mother then gave us a short tour across her enormous house, she showed us many empty rooms we could take for the moment, and then led us to a large terrace, where tea, cake, and sandwiches were already served by the servants, all of them were elves or half-elves.
And the Spirit Knights were also walking around us all the time, despite Elfriedden trusting us, it wasn't the same for the rest of the people here. I guess we'll have to show them what we can do before gaining any respect here.
"Oooh, so many different types of cakes!" Erika said, sitting down and happily beginning to eat while drinking tea. "Hmm, so sweet! Blake, come sit down and let's eat together!"
"Blake, here." Elizabeth called me as well, as she pointed at a sea between Erika and her. "Come."
"Okay…" I didn't have much of a choice here.
I tried the herbal tea with strawberries, and it was rather delicious and aromatic, it quickly calmed me down, making me feel at home.
Erika and Elizabeth didn't stop pampering me though, offering me slices of cake and sandwiches every moment they could.
"Honey, try this cheesecake I ate, it's really good." Erika offered me an already bitten piece of cheesecake, I accepted it anyways. Not like the piece having her saliva meant anything.
"It's good." I smiled, giving her a kiss. "Thank you for being so attentive."
"Heheh~ It's nothing, really!" Erika giggled, she was truly in the clouds with a little kiss.
"I got this for you." Elizabeth smiled gently, giving me a small sandwich with melted cheese and thin slices of roasted wyvern meat.
"It's delicious." I took a bite and then ate the entire thing. "Thank you for making it for me." I also kissed her.
"O-Oh, I did it because I just could, no need to thank me." Elizabeth smiled. Although she was much calmer than Erika, she clearly looked very happy.
As this happened, Elfriedden and his family were looking at me with… Slightly tired expressions.
"My son, does this happens all the time?" Everfrost asked.
"I am afraid so, mother. Commoners are unable to control themselves." Sighed Elfriedden. "Kissing and doing all these things in a table, what a lack of manners…"
"Mooch, mooch!" Sapphirus, Elfriedden's little sibling, was making weird noises. "Elfriedden! Are you going to mooch like that with your girlfriend too?"
"S-Sapphirus! Don't say such things…" Elfriedden sighed, covering his face in embarrassment.
It seemed the culture was indeed less free here; Elves were much more stuck-up and also had a lot of pride on being stoicism. They disliked showing emotions if possible. Acting like I did with Erika and Elizabeth was not seen in good light.
But I didn't really care either way.
"So, let's begin explanations, because it seems her majesty is incapable of fully believing everything we say even though there is clear proof of it even from the information and documents sent by Stronghold City's Academy." I said.
I began explanations after the family of stuck-up nobles talked shit about me, and quickly shut them all down for at least two hours.
One all explanations were finished, and I showed her all the documents and everything officially stating our actions, and the proof of our actions as well, through videos created using my golems with dwarven magic technology, Everfrost's face immediately changed.
Her slightly doubtful face became incredibly bright and happy, although a bit nervous after having offended us so much.
"S-So nice! I am so happy to have you all here, you are all truly living legends, hahah… ahahah." She laughed nervously. "I-I apologize for… doubting your words."
"It's fine, it's not like I actually care about your opinion, Lady Everfrost. I just came here to do my job, nothing else." I smiled gently.
"I-Is that… so?" Her eyebrows were twitching, growing rather angry.
"Blake…!" Elfriedden tried to reprimand me, but he quickly fell silent like his mother.
"Anyways, I will be excusing myself for now. I need to prepare for war after all." I walked away.
"W-Wait, please wait!" Elfriedden's mother asked.
