Chapter 216 Who's Jealous? tushumi.cc

Just as Maggie left the confessional, she saw a small figure standing at the far end of the corridor. He looked up at the sky, his pale ruby-like eyes reflecting the color of the sky.

Maggie paused, suddenly realizing that she hadn't seen Nesser in a long time.

I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to see him.

Thinking of this, her expression softened, and she even slowed her pace, intending to quietly approach Nesser without him noticing. However, she had only gone halfway when Nesser turned his head and looked in her direction.

Without a second's hesitation, Nesser's face suddenly broke into a big smile, as if spring had arrived, ice had thawed, and he was as warm as a little sun.

"elder sister!"

Hearing Nesser's clear and innocent voice call her name, Maggie's heart melted instantly, and she felt an indescribable sense of guilt.

She has really been ignoring Nesser for a long time.

Nesser turned around and, instead of waiting for Maggie to walk to his side, jogged over to her, raised his delicate little face and looked up at her, his big eyes filled with joy.

"I heard the competition ended today, so I couldn't wait to see my sister. I hope I didn't cause her any trouble."

He seemed a little embarrassed as he spoke, his face flushed, whether from excitement or shyness, it was hard to tell. It seemed that troubling Maggie was a difficult thing for him.

“That’s wonderful! I can’t wait to see Nesser.”

Maggie bent down and gently patted Nesser's head, her tone so tender that anyone else would be astonished if they heard it.

It's all my fault. I brought you out here and haven't even had time to take care of you.

Maggie is usually very gentle, but this almost tender tone is truly rare.

"Sister, do you still remember our promise?"

Nesser chuckled sheepishly, gently pulling down Maggie's hand, his tone filled with anticipation, or perhaps one could say impatience.

No agreements are needed. Whatever you want, whatever I can do, I'll give you, my poor little Nesser.

Maggie was now filled with remorse, and she would probably agree to any request Nesser made immediately, which is exactly what she did.

"What does Nesser want?"

Nesser held her arms with both hands, his big eyes looking adorably innocent, which softened Maggie's heart.

"Sister, could you come back to the Green Forest with me? If you don't have time, it's okay if you don't come..."

He spoke hesitantly, as if afraid of being rejected by Maggie, but the faint glint in his eyes reminded Maggie that he really wanted her to stay with him.

Are all kids these days so stubborn? So cute.

Maggie's eyes curved into a smile, and she spoke softly.

"Can you tell me why I went back?"

As she finished speaking, Nesser's eyes dimmed for a moment, as if to say, "My sister really doesn't remember."

But he quickly composed himself and didn't attract Maggie's attention.

Actually, it wasn't that Maggie forgot; it was just that she subconsciously felt there was still a long time before Nesser came of age, so she simply ruled out the possibility of his coming-of-age ceremony without considering it at all.

However, Nesser misunderstood the matter.

"The once-every-five-years Forest Spirit Competition in the Azure Forest is about to begin. I feel my magic has improved a lot, and I want to go back... I want to go back and fight for a spot... Is that alright?"

Nesser cautiously probed, and what he said was true, but he concealed the fact that the two had made a promise.

"Hmm? The Forest Spirit Battle?"

Maggie fell into thought.

[I almost forgot there will be a Forest Spirit Competition this year, but that's a competition to select the Forest God's envoy. Nesser is still so young, is he really capable?]

Thinking of this, Maggie couldn't help but feel worried, and her gaze towards Nesser became even more affectionate.

"I can go back with you, but you can't cry if you lose."

Maggie sighed inwardly, withdrew her hand, and gently stroked Nesser's nose with her finger, with a hint of affection.

[Well, we should spoil our own child. If he wants to go back, let's go back with him.]

"I won't cry."

Nesser pouted, looking somewhat annoyed, but not wanting to vent his anger on Maggie, he could only sulk.

"Okay, okay."

Maggie lowered her hand and smiled happily.

Sometimes you can't blame some parents for liking to tease their children; she likes it too.

but.....

If I accompany Nesser back to the Green Forest this time, I might run into that carefree, easygoing forest god in human form. I wonder how his life as a bard is going.

In the manga, the human form of the Forest God also returned to the Forest of Green at this point in time, participated in the competition for the Forest Spirit Seats, and even won the crown.

If that's the case, then she has seen most of the gods.

Only the last one is hard to meet, and I guess... it's very difficult to meet him.

The God of the Earth, a god without gender, whose beauty is indistinguishable between male and female. Perhaps because people always call the Earth their mother, he usually prefers to appear in female form, only occasionally using male form.

The human form is the same, fully inheriting this characteristic.

When Maggie reads the comics, she is always amazed by the human form of the Earth God; his face is stunning whether he is male or female.

"Then it's settled, and you absolutely can't go back on your word."

Nesser's voice brought Maggie back to her senses, and looking into his bright eyes, the corners of Maggie's mouth curved up even more.

"certainly."

In the past, it would have been very difficult for her to leave the temple on her own, but now the situation is different; she can choose her missions.

All you need to do is accept a quest in the direction of the Green Forest, complete it on the way, and you can spend the rest of your time with Nesser.

"Yay!"

Nesser skipped and jumped happily, pulling Maggie's hand as they walked forward.

Without a doubt, Maggie will have to spend the entire day with him and play with him.

The exquisitely beautiful elf cub led the Holy Maiden of Light through the temple, attracting the attention of many along the way, including the Holy Knight Commander.

The moment his gaze fell upon Maggie, his training movements abruptly stopped, and he prepared to turn and walk out of the training field.

But Maggie was like a gust of wind; in the blink of an eye, she was pulled away by the elf and disappeared.

Harun paused, the smile on his lips fading almost imperceptibly. He watched the direction the man and the elf had gone, his hand gripping his sword tightening subtly.

"Eh? Isn't this Her Highness the Holy Maiden?"

The paladin beside him also noticed the fleeting figure and sounded somewhat surprised.

"Um."

Harlan gave a lukewarm response.

"Isn't that elf Her Highness's attendant? Why is he dragging Her Highness around like that? He really doesn't know any manners."

The paladin shook his head and complained.

"indeed."

Harlan lowered his eyes, his tone revealing no emotion.
