I raise elves in Florian

Chapter 166 Eternal Love

"untie!"

While Frilian and Philon were chatting, Shi Yichen raised his hand towards the sky.

"Pfft!"

"Splash!"

All they heard was the sound of something being cut and then falling to the ground outside the carriage.

The horses were startled and ran around wildly. The carriage was overturned by a rock. Fortunately, Shi Yichen reacted quickly and jumped out of the carriage with Frilian and Philon in his arms. However, Hugh Tarker, Zain, and the carriage owner were not so lucky.

"I was careless."

Frillie watched the monster's corpse dissipate on the ground. She was chatting with Philon and didn't notice the monster's approach.

"I'm sorry, Lady Frillien."

Philon said apologetically to Frilian.

"This has nothing to do with Philon. Bird-like monsters are very cunning and adept at hiding their magic, making them indeed difficult to detect. Fortunately, Yi Chen made his move first; otherwise, we would probably have been taken to the sky by it."

Frilian waved to Philon, indicating that it wasn't her fault. Fortunately, Shi Yichen had intervened and killed the bird-like monster, preventing them from being carried into the air by it.

Bird-like monsters love to do this: throw their prey from high above and let them fall to their deaths.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Hugh Tarek was completely disoriented from the fall. He staggered to his feet, still lost in a dream where he felt himself suddenly fly. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself hanging from a tree.

"We were attacked by monsters."

Zain was treating the carriage owner's injuries when he finished treating the owner. Then Zain went to Shutark's side and began to treat Shutark.

"Lord Shi Yichen, Lady Frilian, I have brought the horse back, but it was slightly injured in the chaos."

Philen returned with the frightened horse. The horse hadn't run far, but the carriage had been damaged and they probably wouldn't be able to set off for a while.

"Leave the horse to Zain for treatment, and I'll take care of restoring the carriage."

Looking at the carriage that had been smashed to pieces, Shi Yichen knew that it would be easy to restore it to its original state by simply using magic.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might be dead."

The carriage owner expressed his gratitude to Shi Yichen and the others, saying that it was fortunate he had helped them onto the carriage; otherwise, he would have been killed by the monsters.

"Let me help you tidy up."

Seeing the goods scattered all over the ground, Hugh Tarek helped the carriage owner tidy up.

"It's gotten warmer lately."

After helping tidy up for a while, Hughtark felt a bit hot and, looking at the rising sun, took off his coat.

"It's time to organize my seasonal wardrobe."

Philon also felt that the weather had become hot these past few days. They were still wearing winter clothes, but in a few days they would have to switch to lighter clothes.

“Speaking of which, Philon, what is this bracelet of yours…”

Zain looked at the bracelet on Philon's wrist and asked in confusion. He had fallen asleep in the carriage and hadn't heard Shi Yichen and the others' conversation. He was only awakened when he was attacked by the bird-like monster.

"Yes, it was a birthday present from Mr. Shutark."

Philon raised his hand, looked at the bracelet on his wrist, and said to Zain.

"It took me a full three hours to choose."

Hugh Tarek complained from the side that he thought choosing a gift would be quick, but it took him three hours to decide on the bracelet on Philon's wrist.

"In the end, it was still Shuttalk who made the choice."

Zain looked at Shutark and said.

"Because I told him I hoped he would help me choose."

Philen looked at Hugh Tarek and said that although that's what she said, she and Hugh Tarek chose the bracelet together. Hugh Tarek chose the bracelet because Philen liked it.

"I see. You've suffered, Shutark. This is the most torturous thing."

Zain put his arm around Shutark's shoulder and spoke to him with a face full of sympathy. Zain had experienced many things like this before, and he knew how Shutark felt when choosing a gift.

"Yes, it feels like I'm living a life worse than death."

Hugh Tarek thought about how he had spent three hours watching Philon's expression while choosing a gift, and how he had finally managed to pick something that would make Philon happy. It was truly a difficult task.

"How pitiful."

Zain looked at Shutark with immense sympathy; he completely understood.

“I heard everything.”

Philen stood silently to the side, watching the two people in front of him. He had heard the entire conversation between Shutark and Zain.

"But seeing that she likes it makes it all worthwhile."

When Hugh Tarek recalled the happy look on Philon's face when he saw the bracelet, he suddenly felt that the previous three hours were nothing.

When Shutark said this, Philen behind him also heard it, and Philen couldn't help but look at the bracelet on her wrist.

"Well, you're not bad, Shutark. I thought you were clueless."

Zain patted Shutark on the back with a compliment.

"That pattern is a mirror lotus, which symbolizes eternal love. In this area, it's a popular gift for lovers."

Zain continued speaking to Shutark, explaining the true meaning of the pattern on Philon's bracelet.

"Ugh!"

Shutark didn't know so much; he only knew that Philon liked the bracelet, and nothing else.

"Mr. Shutark."

Seeing Hugh Tarek's reaction, Philon couldn't help but exclaim.

"I...I don't know, it's a misunderstanding. Do you think I would understand the language of flowers?"

Hugh Tarek quickly explained to Philen that he didn't want Philen to misunderstand him because of this.

But little did Shutark know that the reason Philon chose the bracelet with the lotus flower pattern was because Philon liked him.

"That's true, it's because you're an idiot."

Philon was a little annoyed by Hugh Tarek's expression, because Hugh Tarek was too slow-witted and didn't even know such a simple thing.

Even Zain, standing to the side, was speechless at Hughtark's expression. Philen had made it very clear, but Hughtark just didn't understand.

"He's even harsher than usual, even though you don't realize it yourself."

Hugh Tarek muttered to himself, thinking that if he didn't know, then Philen certainly didn't know either. In fact, Philen had chosen this option precisely because he knew.

"What did you say?"

Philon looked at Shutark with a dangerous glint in her eyes; she had overheard what Shutark was saying.

"He didn't say anything."

Hugh Tarek quickly changed his tune, knowing that Philon would get angry if he continued like this.
