?We were currently walking through the forest.
As for how this happened, it was because we were heading to the elven village to see the green haired elder who was Moon's grandmother.
If I was to be marrying Moon, then I would have to at least report this matter to her first.
But I also noticed that Moon seemed to be worried about something.
It seemed like this trip wouldn't go as smoothly as I thought it would.
When we arrived in the elven village, we were welcomed like normal.
But when we met with the elders and Moon told the green haired elder about what happened, she immediately knitted her brows. At the same time, all of the elders revealed grim looks like something was wrong.
It was clear that they weren't as willing to accept this engagement between us.
After a long silence, the green haired elder said, "It isn't that we don't accept this, it's just that…"
Her voice trailed off as she looked at the other elders, but it seemed like they were avoiding her gaze. It was as if they didn't want anything to do with this matter as they tried their best to appear like they were busy with other things.
So with a long sigh, the green haired elder said, "It's just that you should know what status Moon has in our elven race. The one that marries her will without a doubt be under a certain amount of scrutiny. So for that to happen, there needs to be conditions set."
I gave a nod of agreement to this.
It wasn't strange since she was the daughter of Aisha, one of the most famous high elves out there.
So for her to get married, there must be strict conditions.
I just simply gave a nod and waited to hear what the green haired elder had to say. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via n(0)vel(b)(j)(n).
The green haired elder gave a sigh when she saw me nod like this before saying, "First, you must show that you can provide for both yourself and her. But then again, it isn't as if you wouldn't pass this condition."
Then her expression became serious as she said, "Second, you need the approval of the goddess…"
Her voice slowly trailed off as she said this as she suddenly remembered something.
Right, when she brought him to see the Tree of Life, he had received the Mark of Life. This was something that not a single elf had seen in many generations now and this human had received this mark.
So if he didn't have the approval of the goddess, there really wasn't anyone who could be said to have the approval of the goddess…
The elders all seemed to think the same as their expressions slowly changed.
With another sigh, the green haired elder said, "The third is going to the capital to pass the marriage trial. This is a trial that has been left behind by the ancestors that all those who wish to get married must pass."
Moon knitted her brows when she heard this.
After all, this marriage trial was the one thing that she had been concerned about.
It wasn't the trial itself that she was concerned about, but where this trial was located.
The green haired elder thought the same as she also revealed the same worried look as Moon.
"The capital?" I couldn't help repeating.
That was indeed troublesome because of what had happened recently.
Those elves that had come from the capital, it had ended in a large confrontation with them before they ran back off to the capital. So far, we were still waiting for them to retaliate, but nothing had happened.
It was almost as if they weren't going to do anything, but we didn't believe that was possible.
After all, there had been deaths that had happened in the end.
It was impossible for them to just leave matters as they were.
After another long silence, the green haired elder suddenly said, "For now, let's just leave this matter be."
Moon bit her lip and looked like she wanted to say something, but the green haired elder raised a hand to stop her before saying, "We'll just say that the two of you are engaged for now. You can't be married until we make a trip to the capital to take on that marriage trial, but you can at least say that you're engaged until then."
Moon stopped biting her lip when she heard this and she looked at the green haired elder with a grateful look.
The other elders however looked at the green haired elder with worried looks when they heard this.
There was no doubt that bending the rules like this would attract some dissatisfaction from the elven capital, but it seemed like the green haired elder was firm in her decision.
So I gave a grateful bow to her along with Moon.
The green haired elder stood up and came forward to help us up before saying, "As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
Then she moved closer to me and said in a low voice that Moon couldn't hear, "But if you dare hurt her…"
I just revealed a faint smile and said, "I definitely won't."
The green haired elder's expression relaxed a bit as she said, "I know."
Once that was decided, the village was suddenly thrown into a festive mood.
It was clear by how everyone congratulated Moon that she was a well loved member of the village.
At the same time, there were quite a few people that threatened me.
It seemed that they were quite protective of her as well.
Of course, I would never do anything to hurt her.
But still, it was nice to see how everyone cared about her.
This was one of the things that I liked about the elves.
They were very caring and protective of the ones that they opened their hearts to.
Once you gained the trust of an elf, they would be a steadfast companion.
