After traveling for a few days, we arrived in Silver City again.
Waiting for us at the gate of the city were Nisa and Rondo and hiding in the back was Nori.
They led us to the Silvermine Family Manor where the rest of our group was waiting for us.
This was the group that had stayed in Silver City to take care of the ore trade with the Silvermine Family.
They had been talking to the ones that they would get the ores from and preparing everything for when they came back with the goods they would trade them with.
They were laying the foundation for the future trades.
Once they were all gathered, Nori showed them to a dining room that was waiting with dishes.
She had already heard about the group that was coming, so all of this was prepared for the ambassadors.
Many of them were friends of Ivar and the Silvermine Family, so it wasn't a problem for them to relax here.
It was a very lively dinner in the end.
The only one that had trouble fitting in was Elsa since she wasn't that close to the Silvermine Family as the others.
It was funny seeing how both Elsa and Nori were cautious with each other, even though they were around the same age.
Nisa was the one that broke the ice for the two of them and the topic that they found in common was their big brothers.
As little sisters, they were able to bond from that experience.
But on the topic of that, Ivar suddenly asked Elsa, "Is it alright if my son goes with you?"
Elsa was surprised to hear this, but she quickly gave a nod in response.
The Silvermine Family was one of the most influential families in their Dwarven King and she had already heard all about the relationship that Rondo had with Zwein's group, so she had no reason to deny this request.
Rondo was happy to go since he wasn't someone that could stay at home without feeling stuffy.
That was why he had been traveling in the first place.
But all this did was cause a problem with Nori.
"Don't take my brother away from me!"
She said as she grabbed Rondo's arm.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help revealing awkward looks. Especially Nisa and Ivar who had spoiled Nori to this extent.
They never thought that she would even act this way in this kind of situation.
Of course, they still couldn't get angry with her even like this.
So all they could do was look at Elsa with a look like they were asking her to be gentle on her.
Elsa just calmly said to her, "You love your big brother, right?"
Nori couldn't help being surprised when she heard this.
After a pause because she didn't know what Elsa was doing, she slowly gave a nod of agreement.
Elsa then said with an encouraging smile, "Since you love your big brother, you wouldn't want to stand in his way, right?"
Noir was even more confused when she heard this.
Elsa didn't mind this and slowly explained, "This is a very important task for our Dwarven Kingdom, especially since this is our first time engaging with the human kingdoms. This will be an event that will be recorded in the books of our Dwarven Kingdom and will be known by all. As one of the ones that goes, naturally your big brother will also receive a part of the honour."
Seeing the slow look of understanding on Nori's face, Elsa continued by saying, "If you really want what's best for your big brother, wouldn't you want the entire world to know how amazing he is."
This time, Nori's eyes lit up when she heard this.
It was clear that she was slowly being coerced by Elsa's words.
But there was still a trace of hesitation in those eyes as she seemed like she was still unwilling to let go.
In the end, she said with a sigh, "Will it really be the best for him?"
Elsa didn't say anything as she just gave a nod with a smile on her face.
Nori took a while to accept this, but in the end, she still said with pouted lips, "Alright, but don't take him away from me for too long."
Elsa promised that she wouldn't and patted her on the head.
For some reason, Nori didn't resist this even though she normally didn't accept anything from anyone. It was as if Elsa had tamed her with just a few words.
After that, Nori went back over to Rondo to say a few more things, but the situation had been settled.
I couldn't help looking at Elsa with a surprised look.
She just looked back at me with a smile and said, "It's surprising how good I am with children, right? I've always had a way with children."
Then as if she was proving something, she stuck out her chest with pride.
But all that did was make things awkward for me, especially with her figure…
The way that she stuck out her chest, it almost popped open the buttons of her dress.
That was how big they were…
Seeing the awkward look on my face, Elsa looked down and realized what I was looking at.
With that look of realization, there was a blush that appeared on her face as well.
I quickly turned away and said, "I'm sorry for staring."
But Elsa said, "It's alright…you can stare more if you want."
I was shocked when I heard this and I immediately figured that she was teasing me, but I really couldn't take this teasing.
So I immediately stood up and said, "I have to use the restroom. If you'll excuse me."
As I walked away, there was a trace of disappointment that appeared in Elsa's eyes.
This was a look that Haley, Moon, and Veronica hadn't missed.
Their womanly instincts told them something and it wasn't wrong…
