Meeting Maria's parents

Max and the group walked back toward the city lord's manor. Halfway there, he saw a beautiful figure standing at the side of the road, nervously looking around.

When he saw her, unconsciously, a smile crept up on his face.

Rima, Belen and Leticia were mystified. They followed his gaze to see what could've caused him to reveal such a tender smile and saw an adorable looking young Elvin girl in common clothing.

Immediately, they knew who she saw. They glanced at Max simultaneously and asked, "Is it her?"

"Yes." Max nodded, his gaze still trained on her.

Witnessing this, all three girls felt slightly envious of her because they never saw him wear such a… loving expression on his face for any of them.

Belen and Rima quickly dispelled these thoughts but Leticia couldn't and the thought that Max would stop caring for her now that he had someone who he liked better than them consumed her mind.
