Elena’s Special

Elena raised her head from what she was doing when she felt Ren's silence.

"What?" she asked.

"You're a walking treasure trove, do you know that?" Ren said straight to her face. The Princess could probably wield all sorts of weapons like Princess Lorelei of the Renais Empire.

Instead of taking offense, Elena giggled like twinkling stars brightening their night. "When we clear this quest, then you can choose one weapon you like in my collection."

Ren wouldn't say no to that. "I'll have your word on it."

The Princess grinned. "High-born Elves and Feys don't lie."

"That's good to hear," uttered Ren and placed the meat over a fire, hoping for the best. His Cooking Proficiency was only at the [Beginners] level, after all.

As he did, Ren was keenly aware of the Princess's sharp gaze.

"What is it?" he asked after the silent stares she was pointing at him.

"You're just going to cook it like that?"

"I don't know how else to cook it."
