[Elizabeth's Engagement Party] [12] Earth Tepes
"May I join you?"
I looked up and saw someone I had never seen before. He had short golden hair swept back and golden eyes that gazed at me with a smile. His expression was a bit unsettling from my point of view.
"Sure, whatever," I shrugged.
He must be some noble from here, even though he clearly had the presence of someone strong. It wasn't like I knew every single person in Sancta Vedelia, after all. There were people I only heard about in the game but never actually saw.
An awkward silence settled between us. I pretended to admire the sky, but it only made things more uncomfortable. I should have just refused and told him I needed some air.
"Elizabeth seems quite satisfied with the engagement, from what I have seen," he said suddenly.
Elizabeth? Informally? Is he one of her friends?
"Well, it would be embarrassing for me if she wasn't," I replied.
