Chapter 681 - 681 440 Marrying Cecil_2

Chapter 681: Chapter 440: Marrying Cecil?_2 Chapter 681: Chapter 440: Marrying Cecil?_2 What does this sentence mean? I can’t seem to remember.

Lis squinted his eyes and pondered, but his mind was completely blank; he couldn’t recall anything.

Strange…

Lis tapped his forehead with his right hand, not knowing what was wrong, but feeling a strange sensation in his heart whenever he saw that handwriting.

Yet without any clues to grasp, Lis felt somewhat distressed.

At that moment, he heard Cecil’s cheerful voice outside the window.

“Lis, come out quickly!”

“I’ve been waiting for you for ages!”

Only then did Lis remember that yesterday he had made plans with Cecil to stroll through the Elf Royal Court’s market together.

Immediately, Lis pushed the strange sensations that had arisen in his mind to the back of his head; what matter could be more important than accompanying Cecil!

Thus, after living in the Elf Royal Court for over a month, Elder Ricardo paid him a long-overdue visit.

“How is it going, Lis?”

“Do you still enjoy life at the Elf Royal Court?”

Elder Ricardo sat in a plush armchair, smiling at Lis.

“Quite nice!”

Lis nodded and said to Ricardo, while placing a cup of emerald-green fruit wine on the table in front of him.

This wine was brewed from the fruit harvested from the Wisdom Ancient Tree, and even among the Elves, it was a quite precious fruit wine.

However, Bella, who lived in the Elf Ancient Tree forest, had given Lis some.

Ricardo, with a smile, picked up the fruit wine in front of him and teased Lis:

“It seems you have gotten quite familiar with the life here at the Elf Royal Court, Lis.”

Though the wine was precious, it was not overly so for Ricardo as an elder of the Illiser family.

After all, the entire Elf Royal Court Zhonuo City essentially belonged to the Illiser family.

“It’s quite late; I wonder why Elder Ricardo would come to see me?”

Lis sat down across from Ricardo and said to him.

Being an elder, Ricardo was usually very busy, and after not accompanying Lis to find clues about the mysterious foe, Lis had only seen him two or three times.

“Indeed, I have something to discuss with you.”

Ricardo nodded, set down his cup on the table, and his expression grew serious.

“Lis, what do you think of Cecil?”

“Cecil?”

“Why do you bring her up?”

Lis was puzzled, yet the bright and pretty smile of the Elf Girl flashed in his mind.

“I’ll get straight to the point.”

Ricardo looked at Lis and seriously said:

“Though Cecil isn’t a Day Elf, she still carries the blood of the Illiser family, and naturally, our family values her greatly.”

“Recently, some have said that you and Cecil are very close, so I came to ask specifically about it.”

“Lis, would you like to become partners with Cecil?”

“What?”

Lis looked at Ricardo somewhat bewilderedly, not understanding why the Elf Elder would suddenly bring this up.

“You don’t need to be surprised; we Elves take the matter of partners very seriously and naturally would not joke about it.”

“I had previously asked Cecil her opinion before coming to you.”

Ricardo obviously understood Lis’s expression and shook his head as he spoke.

“It’s not just humans; even among ordinary Elves, families take this matter very seriously.”

“But you, Lis, are different after all; even Pompey Clan Leader values you highly.”

“If you could become partners with Cecil, this is something we would be pleased to see.”

“So… Cecil has agreed to this?”

Lis asked hesitantly.

Ricardo looked at Lis and nodded slightly.

“Phew~”

Lis let out a long sigh, his expression complex.

To say he didn’t like Cecil would indeed be a lie.

Even among a race comprised mostly of exceptionally handsome men and beautiful women, Cecil’s looks were outstanding and her tranquil scholarly aura was particularly attractive to Lis.

From their time spent together, Lis also knew Cecil’s feelings.

After all, he was an old hand at this, wasn’t he? How could he not know?

Hmm? What does the term “old hand” mean? Why did it suddenly appear in my mind?

Lis furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled.

Seeing this, Ricardo did not urge Lis further.

After all, whether for Cecil or for Lis, this was a significant matter that naturally required careful consideration.

Ricardo himself didn’t know why he had suddenly felt inspired to discuss this with the clan leader today; unexpectedly, the clan leader had been very supportive of it.

As for Lis and Cecil, in Ricardo’s view, they seemed quite compatible; after all, the Illiser family wasn’t like the Alorotti and Vishan families, which valued pure bloodlines!

Lis hesitated for a moment, but he soon dismissed the odd feeling from earlier.

There were matters concerning Cecil waiting for his decision, how could he have time to consider that?

Lis leaned back in his chair, his expression settling into calmness.

Becoming partners with Cecil surely would be a wonderful thing.

Uncle Joyce would be quite elated to know that he was about to marry and start a family, wouldn’t he?

The only remaining elder in the family had mentioned it many times before.

In Lis’s memory appeared two faint figures, one with fiery red and another with silver-long hair, but soon they transformed into Cecil’s golden hair.

Had he not met Cecil for several years now?

It was time to make a decision!

Lis nodded to Ricardo, and sincerely said,

“Elder Ricardo, thank you for your reminder; I am willing to become partners with Cecil.”

“Good!”

Ricardo seemed pleased upon seeing Lis make his decision.

From his perspective, this was indeed the best outcome!

“This is a major event for the Illiser Family, and I will help you and Cecil prepare a grand wedding!”

“You are going to great lengths, Elder Ricardo!”

Lis thanked Ricardo earnestly, the latter’s actions completely exceeding his expectations.

“Don’t mention it, clan leader will be happy as well!”

Ricardo smiled, waved his hand, and then took his leave.

“Am I really getting married?”

“It somehow feels a bit too quick…”

After seeing Ricardo out, Lis gazed at the bright moon in the night sky, slightly sighing.

…

The next morning,

“Lis?”

Dressed up, Cecil stood at Lis’s doorway, hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly, her voice much quieter than before and filled with a girl’s shyness.

Yesterday, Elder Ricardo had come to talk to her about becoming partners with Lis, and she had confidently expressed her intentions to the elder.

But after Elder Ricardo left to seek Lis, she started to waver again.

Ligging in bed and covering her head with a blanket, she felt a bit annoyed and anxious.

Why was she so forward?

What if Lis didn’t agree?

What if Lis didn’t like her?

At that moment, Cecil even thought about going to seek Elder Ricardo to retract the arrangement.

But looking at the time, it was already too late.

The elder must have spoken to Lis about this matter, hadn’t he?

What would Lis think of her?

Cecil felt her heart beating more passionately than ever, waiting for Lis’s decision with both anticipation and a bit of fear.

When Elder Ricardo relayed Lis’s thoughts to Cecil, the girl’s cheeks instantly flushed red.

“Thank you, Elder Ricardo.”

“Indeed, oh I am so glad I could become a member of the Illiser Family!”

No sooner had she spoken these words than a strange sensation emerged in Cecil’s heart.

However, this odd feeling was instantly swallowed by her overwhelming emotions, and the excited girl intentionally avoided thinking about anything else.

The next day, bright and early, Cecil got up, dressed carefully, and went to find Lis.

Lis opened the door to find the beautifully attired elf girl outside, and smilingly said,

“Isn’t this Cecil? Why are you so pretty today?”

“Not really…”

Cecil felt a little dizzy even looking at Lis’s smiling face, not knowing what else to say.

Lis pulled Cecil into his arms and said with a smile,

“My little princess, why did you come to find me so early today? Is there something you need?”

Cecil, feeling shy yet unwilling to resist, didn’t know what to do with her soft body.

Upon hearing Lis’s words, Cecil finally came back to her senses, and with a slightly red face said,

“Lis, do you have time today to meet my mother with me?”

“Yes, of course that’s no problem.”

Lis said cheerfully.

For some reason, he felt a slight urgency in his heart.

He felt compelled by an inexplicable inspiration to meet Cecil’s mother.
