BXBX NOVEL Chapter 451 Giving The Flower Crown
With the clumsy yet colorful flower crown revealed in front of her, Eli's eyes warmed up with joy.
"Aw… my son made me something so beautiful! Thank you, Johann, my love!" Eli could not hide the proud expression on her face as she realized that Little Han made the flower crown through great efforts.
"Hihi… Mommi pleaze wear it!" Little Han tiptoed with a happy grin and raised the flower crown.
"Gladly, my little prince!" Eli bowed a little lower so that her son could place the flower crown on her head.
"Pat pat… fix fix.." Little Han clumsily patted Eli's head and frowned in a seriously focused look, afraid that he would mess up his mommy's hair. He used his little palms to try to fix the crown to rest beautifully on top of his mother's head.
Eli smiled and allowed Little Han to do as he wished.
"Finisssh!" Little Han clapped his hands and exclaimed happily, feeling so proud and satisfied with his masterpiece.
"Does it look good on mommi?" Eli could no longer hold back and carried Little Han into his arms, while Baobao gently went over and packed up the things they took out when playing.
"Yesh!!! Mommi so pwetty!" Little Han's round crystal blue eyes shined brightly as she answered her mommy's question.
Eli let out a light fluttery chuckle. She looked at her son who was looking back at her with pure innocence and love, "Thank you for this flower, my love! You made me so happy!"
"Jiheehee!!!!" Little Han finally heard the words he wanted to hear. When Eli told him that she made him happy, his eyes curved into two crescent moons and leaned over to hug his mommy in satisfaction.
Seeing the sweet interaction of the mother and son, everyone around them was also affected by the warmth.
The kids around, saw the human kid demonstrate how to give the flower crowns to their mothers.
And with his example, the kids ran back to their family homes, looked for their mom, and gave the flower crowns just like how Little Han did it - say your mommy is pretty!
Seeing the elf kids carry out their plans, Calderon elbowed his best friend once again and said, "Hey, give yours to auntie. Now is the time! Look at the kids, they also went home to find their moms and give the crowns. If you dilly dally any longer, you'll lose such perfect timing."
"Hush your words, I ask you as well, you made some flower crowns and so to whom will you give that?" Elifas barked back in a hushed tone so that it could not be heard by the people around them.
"Oh, don't mind me, I gave it to Elder Alva earlier. Look!" Calderon proudly pointed at the elderly elf, who was looking peacefully at the scene in the flower field.
Elder Alva was one of the oldest elves in the village and all of her have grown and transferred to the Green Wave mainland. Unable to bear the thought of leaving her husband's resting place, she insisted on staying in the village thus occupying the longest seat as an elder, assisting the Chief in leading the village.
Elifas choked upon seeing that Calderon had quickly resolved the issue. He must admit that Calderon's choice was rather brilliant, for if all children would follow the suit, then the elder will not receive any flower crowns from the younger generation!
But soon, Elifas was awakened by the pressuring gaze of his friend, who had proudly done his task of offering the flower crown.
"Tsk…" He gave a low grunt and finally stepped to move toward Azayn's direction. In the back of his mind, he was questioning himself -
Why did anyone tell him that it was required to make a flower crown and give it to your respective moms?
Nevertheless, it is not that he was forced to do so, in fact, he wanted to give one too. He missed his mom so much, but his mom had been busy because of the mysterious matters arising from the village relics.
The only problem is, he did not know how to do it without feeling too embarrassed.
"M-mom…" He weakly called from behind.
"En?" Azayn was enjoying the seemingly innocent gestures of the kids and finally looked relaxed for the first time in a month. With her easing mood, she dazedly responded to her son.
"I…" Elifas choked once again, not finding any words to say at this crucial moment.
"Pfft…" Calderon could not help but let out a teasing snort as he saw his friend chickening out over such a simple task.
Elifas felt a huge wave of heat and embarrassment melting the back of his neck. He felt that it was too much to bear as he saw that Eli, Little Han, and Baobao were also looking at him, aside from his confused mother.
Feeling that he could no longer escape anymore, he nervously pursed his lips and quickly placed the flower crown on her mother's head.
He specifically used his wind powers to carry out the entire action, unconsciously showing off the abilities he had to be able to finish the magic tournament in one of the top three spots.
Then with the same ability, he quickly ran and hid to who knows where!
Blink blink…. Azayn remained still as she saw his son quickly approach and quickly disappear. Only when she faintly smelled the delicate fragrance on top of her head did she realize what his awkward son did.
"Oh… he made me one too…" She stood up straight, but she was not able to see what the crown looked like, so she raised her hand and carefully touched the flowers on her head, afraid that she would ruin it.
"You looked even prettier, Azayn!" Eli saw that Azayn was in a daze, probably because she was not expecting such a gesture to be done by her son. And so, with a little more push, she continued, "Isn't it right, my love?"
"Yesh!!! Aunchyyy pwetty!!" Little Han is in perfect sync with his mom as he seconded.
"That's right Auntie!" It was Calderon who spoke next, one could still see his watery eyes and his hand firmly clutching his stomach as if he just had a good laugh.
"You should have known auntie, Elifas even coaxed Little Han here to teach him how to make one just for you!"
"Yesh!!!" Little Han answered once again.
Only then did Azayn realize what her son truly did, "Is that so…" She answered gently with a beautiful warm smile blooming on her face.
"Do I look good in it?" She asked once again, this time there was a hint of red heating up her eyes, but she smiled widely nonetheless.
"Yes indeed!" The people around her answered affirmatively.
This warm atmosphere extended all the way to the banquet garden where the meals were prepared for Eli and the rest.
The men who were waiting at the dining tables all looked surprised to see that all the married women in the village wore flower crowns on their heads.
Soon it reached their ears that it was a gesture made by the kids, led by Little Han.
They were shocked and even more pleased. No one had made such a great wave of action that completely made the atmosphere of the village warm and even livelier.
The atmosphere became harmonious, even as they took a meal, the fathers, Leon and Koehthar included, looked at their respective children with approval and pride.
This son of theirs finally knew how to please the only empress of their household!
Chief Eirllon looked at the people with a gratified expression. His village has always been harmonious and peaceful, but at this moment, it's even more beautiful.
After the wonderful community meal, Chief Eirllon along with the officials meet the family of three and Kayden once again.
They were on their way to travel back to the capital before the night arrived and so they met once again for their farewells.
"Young Eli, would you please come forward?" Chief Eirllon gently called Eli to which she responded.
Then as she went near, Chief Eirllon waved his hands and placed something in front of Eli as witnessed by everyone.
Apart from Kayden, Leon, and Eli, the rest of the people in the room did not show any signs of surprise. In fact, they even looked like they were expecting this situation to happen.
"Chief, Grandpa Eirllon… this…" Eli looked at the elderly elf in front of her and asked in shock.
"It's time for the staff to be held by Guardian Asa's people." Chief Eirllon no longer explained and just briefly left these words.
"But…" Eli protested and once again tried to reason out, the staff is too mysterious and important for her to take. But when she looked around, all she could see was a relaxed and assured smile from all the elders and officials of the village, even Azayn and Koehthar.
"I am sure that it is also what the Protectors intended." Chief Eirllon answered.
"Waaaahhh…. Mommyyyyyyy!"
Just as Eli was about to persuade the elven people once again, they were suddenly interrupted by Little Han's uneasy cry.
