Chapter 175: Moon Elf Lord’s Craving
The night was destined to be festive as declared by the Moon Elf Lord.
The atmosphere is as pleasant as it should be. Friends talking to friends. And laughter fosters positive feelings between the different clans of the Amber Forest.
As per usual, the venue of festivities is in the open field where the seats and tables are randomly placed yet they are positioned so that people sitting in the opposite tables can freely interact with each other.
All of these are according to the guide made by the Moon Elf Lord.
However, if there is something that is different from the Moon Elf Lord’s setting, then it is how seamless the supposed cooperation of the fourteen clans is.
"Wow... that is a lot," that is the only reaction Luis could give upon seeing the wide array of dishes occupying the long rectangular table designated for him.
He was with his usual company, Legland, Nicol and Olyn but this time, he asked the patriarchs to share their meals with him.
"How come you guys came up with putting up a buffet for me? How about the other tables? Do they have enough food over- oh, I see," Luis ultimately shut his mouth upon seeing that the other tables are in the same state as his.
"All the dishes prepared are the specialties of the clans, My Lord!" Olyn actively introduced all of the dishes in front of him.
There are more than fourteen fragrant dishes on the table. They are not the usual vegetable meals but instead, they are with glistening meats!
Luis couldn’t help but gulp a mouthful of saliva. "You guys went all out!"
Seeing the happiness in the eyes of their lord, the representatives of the Tribunal shyly bowed their heads.
Sibal, the appointed leader of the new Lune Clan, replied, "Well, we decided to give our all as a thank you for all the care you’ve given us, My lord."
It was then followed by thank yous by the other clan patriarchs. Luis helplessly sighs. What else can he do but to accept their gratitude? And so he did it casually.
"What are you waiting for? Come on and sit!"
However, before their butts even touched the chair, a voice suddenly interrupted them. "Am I not welcome in this lot?"
"Master Feren!"
Luis saw the short bearded stout man waltzing towards them with a smug look on his face. His gray hair was disheveled like a bird’s nest but despite it, the dark circles around his eyes are noticeable.
"You look terrible," he said as greetings to the thick-skinned old man.
"My lord, don’t hurt this old man’s heart just because you’re the prettiest bearer around."
The moon elf lord arrogantly flipped his hair and flashed a flirty smile. "Am I?"
Feren was dragged into a momentary stupor. Somehow something has changed in the aura of the Moon Elf Lord. That is what his gut feeling is screaming at him.
He couldn’t stop himself from throwing a second look.
The Moon Elf Lord looks like a delicate flower that has just been blessed by an ample amount of rain showers on a fine bright day.
"You look..." he trailed off. Feren doesn’t have the guts to continue because a lot of people are present and the rest of his questions are too personal.
’Maybe even my student Legland will trash me once I said the wrong words.’
"I look what?" Luis tilted his head to this green-minded fellow.
"You look like you forgot that you assigned me to study how to create a transportation circle," Feren made a wise choice to save his skin. "Anyway, I am not seeing that enigmatic newcomer that I heard of."
"Of course not," Luis’ denial came from his nostrils. He will never let himself be caught saying that it slipped out of his mind because a lot of things had happened.
"If you are referring to Xerxes he is out with Xagrien, doing god knows what," He swiftly veered the conversation in different directions. "If it’s the spirit of the Heart of the Forest, then you must see for yourself."
Feren followed where the lord’s pouting lips were pointed at and there he saw the Winged Serpent hovering over the tables and communicating with the children of Lune Clan.
’So that is the one that the Moon Elf Lord made. I am not so sure if he is still a moon elf lord since he keeps on making impossible things a reality,’ Old Feren couldn’t help but think.
On the other hand, the oblivious moon elf lord was salivating in front of the delicious food but since he remembered a certain someone, he leaned towards Olyn and whispered.
"Do you have food containers? I want to save a part of each dish since someone is too busy to even go here."
Olyn was confused for a moment and he is still that way even for a couple of minutes. However, since it was his lord’s order, he nodded and ran quickly to fetch wooden food boxes.
"The food is getting cold! Let’s go and eat!" Luis roared after seeing that Olyn came back. Of course, he uttered his thanks to his number one servant.
Scooping food into the container, Luis’ smug thoughts came into play. ’Oh, Xagrien. You are so lucky to have me as your lover. You are the first one who comes to mind even though I am facing tasty foods.’
Luis busied himself on personally putting the food on the food boxes so that he didn’t realize that none of his subordinates dared to scoop food to their plates.
They are just watching the Moon Elf Lord’s independent action with question marks over their head.
"My Lord, do you mind if I help you with that?" Ali took the initiative to graciously offer his help but it was promptly turned down by Luis.
"No, I am fine doing this myself," Luis said as he continued doing his thing.
Ali didn’t bother to hide his disappointment and the other patriarchs took note of this especially those who have a hidden agenda just like him.
When he realized that an eerie silence shrouded their table, he curiously raised his head and saw that everyone’s eyes were nailed at him.
"I-" Luis tried to speak as realization started to dawn on him. Right, this action is weird. He tried to search for words to say but he realized that he can’t arbitrarily expose that he is finally mated since he and Xagrien hadn’t decided to make it public.
Plus the man in question was not present. Luis doesn’t want to appear as if he is crazy for Xagrien even though...
That guy is his craving.
"Delicious food is my favorite in this world. Hehehe. I am just packing some midnight snacks for later. I trust that you guys prepared it well so I am saving some extra for me," Luis just spoke whatever comes to his mind so it’s no wonder if he is incoherent.
"Anyway, I will do it myself. Just relax in your seats. I will make it quick."
Hylolas, the innocent patriarch of the Hyon Clan nodded his head. "So the Lord has nightly cravings too! I will take not of that and I will make sure to send you some delicious snacks, My Lord!"
’Nightly cravings?’ It is not appropriate but Luis’ thought is straying somewhere hard and pulsating when he heard that term.
"Yeah, I look forward to that!" He just said.
With Hylolas as the initiator, the other patriarchs also expressed their intention to send delicious food at night.
Luis doesn’t know if he should laugh or cry.
"Yay, food! I am excited to receive your snacks. Hahahuhu"
Because of this situation, a misunderstanding bloomed and in the future, records saying that the 43rd moon elf lord is an extreme foodie who would binge eat every night will be written on history books.
That is how Luis will unwittingly gain an maniker that ruined his many great titles, "The Gluttonous Lord".
