"Elayne?" He wondered, looking at me while raising an eyebrow. "What's wrong? Is this form weird? Ah, the hair is weird, right? I couldn't quite imitate how you make your hair, though yours is still mixed with plants and flowers. It's really pretty…" He caressed my hair as he held me with his arms.
"Uwaah, you're so cool sometimes, Mark…" I sighed. "But I'm fine! I was just admiring how handsome my boyfriend can be sometimes…" I stepped out of his arms.
"A-Ahahaha… Don't say that out loud, it's embarrassing…" He started giggling innocently, blushing.
A lot of the noble ladies around us began staring at Mark with eyes wide open. Well, in a similar fashion to some of the men when they saw us.
"S-Such a big stud…!"
"I didn't know that big creature could be such a handsome man.
"W-Wait… Was he that handsome?!"
"His Aura, like a God of masculinity… Ungh~"
Some ladies were even biting their lips as they glanced at him! I was shocked… I guess they do agree he's really hot. But begone! He's mine.
"What are you even saying?!"
"You're my mistress, stop staring at another man's abs!"
Several fat and ugly noble men complained to their mothers or wives as they saw them lusting for my boyfriend…
It was honestly a hilarious sight.
"Wow I'm definitely digging that new look!" Said Jenny. "Though the other look was also quite unique."
"I'll think about keeping this form or not, but to fight, I definitely need a bigger bulk." He admitted. "But if Elayne likes it, I don't mind staying ."
"I-I love it!" Admitted instantly.
"I-Is that so?" Mark felt even mor embarrassed.
"Well, well, aren't you two quite the lovey doveys." Ambil interrupted us. "I did know there was something going on between the two of you, but Planta, is Titan your husband or something?"
"I-I mean, I wouldn't say we are that far…!" I laughed nervously.
"W-We're just boyfriends for now…" Mark laughed nervously too.
"Hmmm, for someone that seemed so clueless about everything, you seem to have a lot of things going on for you, huh?" Ambil looked at me.
"H-Huh? So… S-Sir Titan is Planta's… I see…" David had overheard the conversation, mumbling to himself behind Ambil.
"What? Did you have a crush on the lady or something?" Laughed Ambil. "She's already evidently taken, brat! Don't be dumb. I bet there are many other ladies interested in you." He patted the young paladin's back.
"I-I didn't know this… Ugh, now I feel bad." David sighed. "I-I apologize, I had no idea Lady Planta…!"
"Don't worry, it's alright, David." I smiled gently. "Don't think about it too much."
"Just don't act all flirty with her again." Mark said with a rather menacing look, crossing his muscular arms. "You heard me?"
"Y-Yes…" Nodded David. "I'm sorry…"
"Hahaha, you guys are so funny." Lily was giggling in the back. "There's never a moment of boredom when I'm with everyone! Heheh."
"Lady Lily…" David sighed, suddenly his eyes lighted. "D-Do you have a boyfriend too?!"
"Huh? No?" Lily smiled back. "Why?"
"A-Ah, nothing…" David said nervously.
Wait, I see… So the reason why he seems to ignore girls his age is because he's into older ladies… Is he a cougar hunter? I guess Lily is next on the list. This is a bit hilarious, because it might actually work.
"I never thought NPCs could fall for Players." Said Angelina. "But then again, everything is so realistic, I suppose it makes some sense?" She wondered, drinking some whiskey, she looked gorgeous in her gold dress, white heels, and her blonde hair tied into a ponytail.
She was the one everyone was watching constantly aside from me… Both males and females at that. Her figure and appearance, and her beautiful wings made her look like an angel.
And well, she technically was one. She had already had many nobles approach her, some flirting with her, others asking her if those wings were real.
"Well, you've been quite the victim of that right now." Anikitty giggled. "I'm a bit jealous… Everyone thinks I'm a kid, so nobody had come to flirt with me nyah!"
"Well you act like a kid too." Erdrich nodded.
"What did ya say nyah?!" Anikitty started scratching his face with her claws.
"Aaargh! Let me go you cat woman!" Erdrich and Anikitty had rather cute interactions together.
"Hehe, it certainly is flattering." Angelina giggled. "Planta, so your name's Elayne? I overheard it from Titan."
"A-Ah yes… And Achlys is Rita, I guess you've heard me saying that name a lot." I laughed a bit.
"Name's Mark." Titan said. "I guess sit doesn't matter revealing our true names, we're good friends by now."
"Y-Yeah! My name is Angelina too, so I guess you always knew it, ahah." Angelina giggled innocently.
"Was it?! Oh my gosh, it's actually rather common to find people with their real name as their player's name…" I laughed a bit. "But I doubt your friends' real names are those…"
"Ah, no, but I guess they could say them now, right?" Angelina asked.
"I guess so, I don't mind… My name's Han." Said Erdrich.
"My name is Hinata!" Anikitty puffed her chest. "Yeah, yeah, like that Naruto character… It's a fairly common Japanese name, you know?"
"I'm Hendrick." Said Gandalf. "Anyways, knowing our real names doesn't matter much, no? We don't even know each other IRL… But I guess it's a thing to reinforce our bonds of trust or whatever?"
"Don't be so cold, Gandalf." Said Angelina. "Ah, I guess that name fits you better…"
"Yeah, yeah, just call us by our nicknames, we're too used to them by this point." Laughed Anikitty.
"I agree. I'm more of a necromancer than a real human at this point." Said Erdrich. "…Just joking by the way."
"Huh, you guys are sure strange…" Jenny said, munching on a huge roasted chicken leg. "Anyways, what's- Oh, is that the King coming here?"
Suddenly, the banquet's orchestra was interrupted as a man wearing a golden crown stepped forwards.
