Engagement

Her boobs were jiggling and wiggling while she laughed. After some time, he stopped tickling her under the armpits. Saito asked her with a serious look, "So, what were you doing while I was gone?"

Lyra groaned at those words as if she remembered something unpleasant, "Mou~ Mother was making me read so much stuff about the Elf history. She said that I have to know all these for the time I will become the Elf Queen."

She started to raise her hands up in the air and shouted, "Why doesn't she understand!? I don't want to become an Elf Queen at all!"

Saito pats her head and says, "Now-now, don't be like this. She is your mother, after all, I am sure what she is doing is for your own good."

Lyra puffed her cheeks and says, "Hmph… I still don't want to study all this." Saito laughed out loud, he could relate to that feeling, he never wanted to read stuff in his previous life but it was important so he couldn't skip it.

Saito started to speak up, "Ah well… Don't worry then, I will talk to the Elf Queen about this. She shouldn't pressure you into studying so much."

Lyra enthusiastically let out a shout, "Yay! I am saved! Thanks love!" She hugged him tightly not at all minding that her breasts were squishing against his chest.

He was her lover, if he couldn't touch her body then who could. She wasn't reserved in the matters like these. If Saito wanted to, he could take her virginity any time he wanted to, but he didn't want to rush up and take her body while she was young.

He wouldn't really mind if he had to wait for a year, he wasn't someone who craved sex, they had a long life ahead of them. It wouldn't hurt to spend time together without sex.

~~ After 2 days~~

Saito and Lyra were sitting close to each other. Both of them in exquisite green-colored clothing, Saito was wearing what seemed to be the clothes for a Royal Prince for the wedding while Lyra was wearing a light green colored dress.

Contrary to Lyra's dress, Saito's own dress was dark green, their clothing seemed to be made with the similar color of the leaves in the forest.

An old man with a saint-like appearance was standing beside them as he started to speak in an unknown language to both Saito and Lyra.

Both of them stared at each other, they couldn't explain the excitement felt in their hearts. They looked into each other's eyes, their gazes locked onto each other before Lyra shyly turned her head and broke the eye contact.

The priest who had been chanting for some time slowly said, "Sir Axel, do you intend to take princess Lyra as your first wife with the Nature Goddess as the witness?"

Saito didn't care much about the 1st wife thing, he said with no hesitation, "Yes, I do."

The priest continued to chant for another minute before he turned asked Lyra, "Lyra Vajor, do you intend to be together with Sir Axel, supporting him for eternity."

Lyra also said with no hesitation, "Yes, I do." The priest then nods his head and says, "Very well, you both may now present your rings to each other."

The Elf Queen smiled a bit as she saw this scene, she had already prepared the rings beforehand and handed them.

Lyra pulled out an Emerald-colored ring from her pocket, it was incredibly shiny as the orb embedded onto the ring was sparkling with the light green color.

Saito also pulled out the ring from his storage, the Elf Queen was surprised to see the ring. It wasn't the ring that she had handed over to Saito, this was a different ring altogether.

It was shining brightly with a Blue colored right, there was also a symbol made onto the ring, the symbol of a Dragon. Just from the intensity of the aura released from that ring, it was easy to understand that it wasn't some normal ring.

The orb onto this ring was made by the ores and crystals he had found in the cave where he had reincarnated in this world. They were incredibly rare ores and after mixing them together by asking Iris, he was able to make a ring that was just as precious as the treasure of the Elf Clan.

Lyra couldn't help but continue to stare at that ring, it wasn't just her. All the elves were awe-struck by the beauty of that ring.

One look was enough to say that this ring contained incredible power and was incredibly precious. And yet, Saito was using such a precious ring for this occasion. It showed how much he cared for her; the other elves couldn't help but stare at their princess with envy.

Lyra was also similarly dumbfounded, she wanted to refuse but when she noticed how Saito was looking at her with so much love in his eyes. She found it hard to refuse his kindness. She internally promised herself 'I will do my utmost to make you happy…'

Saito went first and stepped forwards, his arm holding the ring went forwards, the ring touched Lyra's ring finger before slowly slipping onto her finger.

It was a perfect fit for her finger. Lyra suddenly felt her magic increasing around tens of times. Even the intensity was much stronger than before. She however ignored these changes for some time and brought her own ring forward.

The ring entered Saito's ring finger before fitting automatically in his finger. A small hint of Saito's magic was used and the ring got bound to his finger.

Saito heard Iris's voice inside of his head [Master is now connected to the Great Tree of Elves. Master can use this ring to teleport to the Great Tree any time or place he wants at the expense of Nature's Orb.]

Saito ignored the words of Iris and the ceremony continued. Both of them stepped forwards and kissed in front of the whole Elf Race.

All the elves cheered at the scene as they raised the glasses up in the air and said, "Yeeee!"

As their lips parted, they stared at the priest and gave a curt bow. The priest gave them his blessings, "I hope the both of you are together with each other. Filling each other's hearts with happiness."

Next, they bowed in front of the Elf Queen. Elf Queen was teary-eyed as she looked at her daughter, "I am so happy right now. Always stay happy. Daughter, make sure he is happy forever."

Both of them nodded and Lyra even replied back, "Yes mother. Thank you for everything." The Elf Queen nodded her head. Next, they both turned towards Reus. Reus couldn't take it and run towards the stage, he hugged the both of them and said, "Brother-in-law, Big sister, take care of each other!"

Saito kneeled down so that he was on the same level as Reus, he smiled brightly, "Of course. I will take good care of your sister. I will also make sure to treat my little brother the best."

Reus tightly held Saito and rubbed his face over his shoulder, he seems to be crying out of happiness. Soon enough, he stepped back from the stage. And last, Saito and Lyra turned towards their closest companions. Joergen and Emma.

Saito gave a smile to Joergen and signaled him to come closer. Joergen starts speaking, "Congratulations master for your engagement." Joergen noticed that Saito was still signaling him to come closer but he shook his head and says, "It isn't appropriate for a beast such as me to stand there on such an auspicious occasion."

Saito gave him a sincere look, "Joergen, you are my partner. Come up now." Joergen almost couldn't believe that his master was actually asking him to come on the stage during such an event.

There was probably no human in the world who would ask their pet to come during the closing ceremony of their engagement.

Joergen was incredibly touched and stepped forwards, with a teary-eyed expression, it said, "Congratulations master for your engagement."

Saito pats his head and says cheekily, "I am engaged to Lyra today yet there are tears in your eyes. Come one now, be happy for me."

Joergen speaks out, "I am delighted for you, master. I am incredibly happy. I could not ask for a better human to be my master."

Saito rubs his head and says, "And I could not ask for a better beast to be my partner."

This sincere friendship between Saito and Joergen really touched the elves. Lyra also called out for Emma onto the stage. On the stage now, Saito and Joergen were standing on one side while Lyra was standing alongside Emma on the other.

It was just a wonderful scene that had been laid down as an important event in the history of the Elves.
