Chapter 930 Rejecting Advances From Every Young Noble
-----
Once things were done, we started a party right away. The entire castle was filled with maidservants and manservants running everywhere, preparing all the banquet.
And above all, Nobles, Nobles everywhere! Not only auntie Aina and her family was here, but also a bunch of other relatives I had no idea existed until now, and after all our amazing feats, they saw us in completely different eyes.
"Well, maybe you're not that bad, despite being a half-elf…"
"We… we are not backing down though! We'll do something amazing one day too!"
And of course, a pair of twin rivals that annoyed me several years ago showed up, two blue-haired elves, a boy and a girl that looked almost identical, Crystal and Adamas, who were now around 15.
"I'm sure you will." I smiled. "After all you're my cousins."
"W-What with the cocky smirk?!" Crystal gasped. "I'll let you know that…!"
"Stop it, Crystal…" Adamas was jealous and angry, but knew he couldn't say much more. "A-Anyways, we already said we were sorry, let's go Crystal…" He walked away.
"Eh?! But brother!" Crystal followed him while bickering about.
Aquarina was right at my side, finding it unbelievable…
"They didn't even said they were sorry though?!" She asked, crossing her arms.
"It doesn't really matter; it was just something that happened years ago." I shrugged. "And seeing what they said, I can guess they're just a bit cocky but… not really something serious, at most, they must have some sort of inferiority complex because of their older siblings."
"Oh…" Aquarina sighed. "I've never had older siblings so I don't get it!"
"Whatever." I said. "Let's go eat something tasty for now! How about it?"
"Sure, sure!" Aquarina was happy that things were going smoothly for once.
We gathered around the table and started tasting the delicious snacks, they were mostly canape of small size. Tiny fruit pies, creamy cupcakes, small square-shaped pizza slices, little empanadas, and a lot of vegetables neatly cut into all sorts of fancy shapes, with delicious sauces to dip them on.
There was also a wide selection of liquors, but also just as varied selection of tea blends and fruit juices, which we tasted rather happily, it was a party of different flavors.
"Hmm, I love this melon fruit juice…" Aquarina said, drinking it.
"That's not just melon, young lady. It has been blended with three different types of tea leaves, banana, orange, lemon, and other fruit juices. It is an excellent cold tea drink and-"
"Who are you?" Aquarina asked the guy that just stepped in, a tall, blonde elf with sharp red eyes.
"Heh, I am amazed you don't know who I am…" He started to laugh. "I guess it's normal for a country girl, but don't worry, I'll let your ignorance slide for now because my parents said you have the potential to have the privilege of becoming my wife one day. My name is Crestelius Maximus III! And…"
"Marry? Eugh, sorry I don't like guys." Aquarina suddenly looked at him with a disgusted face.
"E-Excuse me?" Crestelius looked at her confused.
"I'm lesbian…" Aquarina raised an eyebrow. "I like girls…"
"W-Wha…?" The elf was completed confused, as he suddenly started to cough while nervously drinking his wine.
"Sorry, she's taken~" I held Aquarina's hand. "Can you go away now?"
"T-That's…" He really didn't knew what to even say. "Ahem! I shall go taste the new wines over there…"
He silently walked away in complete embarrassment, as Aquarina and I burst into laughter.
"Just what was that?!" Laughed Aquarina. "He was so awkward! Now I feel bad for the guy…"
"You have to get used to this, there'll be guys seeking arranged marriages." I explained. "My mom told me about it… For the sake of keeping appearances, its better to politely tell them off and-"
"Ah, there she is!"
"Sylph! Lady Sylph!"
"It is an honor to meet you in this beautiful party."
"Just as the rumors say, your emerald eyes are as beautiful as the queen's!"
"What a wonderful red hair you have, you look like a fierce crimson maiden…"
"I am captivated by your beauty, young lady Sylph…"
Before I could finish my sentence, over seven young boys at most a year older than me started to flock around me like vultures around a rotten corpse.
They crowded me so much Aquarina was pushed away. I guess that one guy was the only one interested in her?!
And they were all rather handsome. One with short white hair and charming blue eyes. Another had short black hair with a mysterious, purple-eyed gaze, a second had long emerald colored hair with silver eyes, another was pink-haired, with a small ponytail and a feminine charisma, and… gosh, they were all quite handsome, huh?
Unlike Aquarina, I'm bisexual, so I react slightly different than her when I meet so many handsome young men… But even then, I should politely reject them.
"Name's Julius!" The cheerful blonde one said.
"Stephan is my name, milady." The pink-haired one gently held my hand and kissed it.
"Hey! Stephan, not fair! Name's Aselle! Please go out with me!" The emerald-haired one was rather open about it.
"Enough with you guys!"
"Oi, stop being so pushy with her! She clearly doesn't like you."
"What did ya say?!"
"Please just let's get along…" The black-haired boy sighed, slightly looking like he didn't even wanted to be here. "Ugh…"
Before I could realize, they started fighting one another for me, beginning to push each other away and then outright punching their faces, one of them started pulling the hair of the green haired guy while the feminine looking pink haired boy was rather fierce, kicking one in the balls…
"Stop it!"
"Agh! Let me go!"
"Y-You guards, you can't do this to me!"
The spoiled brats were quickly taken away by guards that came running the moment they saw them fighting one another… I guess I didn't even had to reject them.
The only mild-mannered one was the black-haired boy, who stayed there looking at me with a bit of sadness on his eyes.
"Sorry, no."
"Hahh… I shouldn't had even tried. My parents forced me to do this…"
He started to mutter things as he walked away.
"W-Well, that was something!" Aquarina was laughing her lungs out.
"Geez, stop laughing!" I felt embarrassed.
