Chapter 399 Banquet for the dwarves
"Count Zwein, when you have the time, you must come to my territory and have a tour."
"No, no, if you have time, you must come to my territory. My daughter has been talking about you all this time and has been looking forward to meeting you."
"Your daughter? That girl that plays around? Count Zwein, you should come and meet my daughter."
Surrounded by these nobles, the only thing that I could do was give a polite smile and say, "If I have the time, I certainly will come and visit all of your territories."
The nobles didn't give up as they started talking about all the specialties of their territories.
As for why I was trapped like this, it was because this was a banquet for the dwarves.
This was a banquet that the king was holding to welcome the dwarven visitors and there were many nobles invited.
As the ambassador to the Dwarven Kingdom for our kingdom, I had no choice but to attend.
It wasn't just me who was surrounded by these nobles right now.
It was the same for the dwarves.
They were completely surrounded by nobles that were trying to build relations with them for their own benefits.
But…this was exactly what these dwarves hated about humans.
Other than Elsa who was surprisingly holding up well with these humans, the others all had looks on their faces like they wanted to die.
Elsa was the only one who was able to converse with all of these humans normally. She even seemed like she was having fun talking to these human nobles.
lightsnοvεl.cοm The only thing awkward for them was that they didn't know where to look when talking to her.
The dress that she wore definitely wasn't doing her any favours…
It took a long time before I finally got some free time.
The first thing that I did was…head to the buffet that had been laid out.
As soon as I arrived, I was swarmed by the nobles. Now that I finally had a free moment, I really needed to get some food before my stomach ate itself.
When I reached the buffet, I found that Elsa was also there and she had a plate filled with food.
When she saw me, she couldn't help revealing an awkward look.
As for why she felt embarrassed, it was because she had a large plate of food in her hand.
It was basically a mountain of food that she was holding, much more than one would think she would be able to eat.
In the end, she was a woman too and she was embarrassed to be caught like this.
But I didn't mind things like this.
In fact, I even felt that it was a bit cute how she acted.
But to sympathize with her, I also got a large plate of food before saying, "Shall we find a place to eat?"
Elsa revealed a surprised look before nodding with a smile.
The two of us made our way to a table of our own while everyone was distracted by the other dwarves.
These other dwarves were mainly blacksmiths who stayed out of things like politics, so they weren't used to things like this.
They were looking all around for anyone to help them…
After we made our way over to the table, we were able to hide ourselves with the mountain of food that we brought over.
As we ate, it was silent at first.
Then I couldn't help breaking through the silence by asking, "So how are you doing? Are you overwhelmed by being in human society?"
Elsa had her head down while she was eating, so she looked up when she heard this question.
The moment that I saw her face, I couldn't help revealing a smile.
That was because it really was a cute scene.
When she looked up, her cheeks were puffed out as it was filled with food and there was even a strand of spaghetti sticking out of her mouth.
It was like a little chipmunk with how she had all that food in her mouth.
Elsa was a bit stunned before she slowly realized what I was staring at and a blush came over her face.
She quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and then wiped her mouth with a napkin before saying, "It's alright. I used to interact with humans when I was working at the store."
I couldn't help revealing a surprised look when I heard this.
Elsa saw this look and explained, "Our store used to take orders from human countries. It was a way for us to earn money, though we didn't accept many orders each year."
I couldn't help knitting my brows when I heard this.
The anti human faction leader, Drogath was taking orders from human countries?
It definitely wasn't as simple as doing it for money…
He must have had ulterior motives…
There was a part of me that really wanted to ask about this, but I held myself back in the end. This was a matter for the dwarves to deal with, not for me.
The most that I should do is tell the Dwarven King about this.
After all, I could tell that Elsa had most likely not told her brother about this.
So the least I could do was make him aware of this.
Other than that, there wasn't much else for us to talk about.
We just talked about some random things that didn't really matter.
I found that Elsa was quite good at talking once she found her confidence. She wasn't shy and hesitant like before, she was able to hold the conversation quite well.
It should be said as expected of the Dwarven King's little sister, but it wasn't just that.
It was also her hard work, which I could admire.
But as we were having our fun talk, there was someone that suddenly cut in.
"What do you think you're doing?" A young voice suddenly said.
