Chapter 514: 487 We also have a hard time

As the race closest to the Divine Race, the Elf Clan’s faith in the Goddess was deeper than that of the Human Race.

A thousand years ago, Hero Mithra had also entered the Elf Country, and under the introduction of Nature Goddess Nudura, he met the Elf Royal Family and received their recognition, obtaining the aid of the Elf Clan. This allowed the Elf Clan to intervene in the final battle a thousand years ago, and forcefully resist the great army of the Demon Clan.

Given these circumstances, it was impossible that the Elf Clan would not welcome the presence of Princess Luoqi, who was not only the successor of Hero Mithra but also a favored Blessing of the Divine Race.

Thus, everything Merica said to Princess Luoqi came from the heart.

It was uncertain if Princess Luoqi had noticed, but the princess merely smiled, perfectly displaying the demeanor expected of her royal stature.

In any case, as Merica watched Princess Luoqi, whose smile seemed to capture all the radiance of the world, feelings of admiration involuntarily arose within her.

(Only a princess like Her Highness is suitable to stand by Mr. Xi’en’s side, right?)

That’s what Merica thought, yet her heart no longer harbored any jealousy, just a touch of melancholy.

Yet, Merica was unaware that all this time, Princess Luoqi had been observing her.

Princess Luoqi was not familiar with Merica, but because of Shane, she knew somewhat about this Elf girl.

Honestly speaking, Merica was very beautiful.

After all, being famously good-looking among Elves, even Shane, when he first met everyone in Vivian’s Team, thought solely based on appearance, Merica was the most beautiful. Even the gentle and graceful Vivian and the timid Lu Muya were somewhat overshadowed by her, revealing just how beautiful this Elf girl was.

Vivian was also very beautiful, and Lu Muya was exceptionally cute. If a perfect score was one hundred, these two would score at least ninety-five. Yet either Magre or Edel had chosen Merica first, enchanted by her.

Merica’s beauty would score at least ninety-eight.

In this way, she managed to outshine Vivian and Lu Muya, always catching the eye of rogues.

Unfortunately, Tielle emerged as a surprising dark horse, not only rapidly advancing her relationship with Shane but also revealing her true face to him, leading Shane to discover the hidden gem in Vivian’s Team capable of surpassing Merica.

It could be said that Tielle’s beauty deserved at least ninety-nine points, and she still hadn’t fully matured. Once she shed her youthful naivety, she would be a solid one hundred, on par with Princess Luoqi and Nien.

If not for this, perhaps Merica would have been the one standing beside Shane—or maybe not.

Princess Luoqi knew something about Merica and could somewhat guess her thoughts.

Because of this, Princess Luoqi paid special attention to Merica.

The reason was simple: it was very likely that this Elf girl was the first after Shane came to this world to develop special feelings for him and the most likely to captivate him.

The reason this Elf girl had not succeeded was partly because her shyness and the purity and reserve characteristic of Elves prevented her from taking a crucial step, and partly because of bad luck.

A beauty scoring ninety-eight, despite also having her Elf heritage boost her appeal, combined with the adage that a woman pursuing a man is separated by a mere layer of gauze—how could she possibly fail to capture Shane, an outwardly cold yet inwardly flamboyant rogue?

But look, what kind of rivals had this girl encountered?

One was Tielle, scoring at least ninety-nine with the potential to grow to a perfect one hundred, who was excessively proactive.

Another was the perfect one hundred Princess Luoqi, flawless in every aspect, unparalleled among the Human Race, appearing unattainable but in reality, so lonely and afraid of solitude that Shane could easily deceive her into his bed.

Facing such terrifying rivals, Merica remained shy and reserved, playing a game of secret love. She was definitely set to become a mere extra in this story.

And not every such extra could eventually succeed stealthily.

Thus, this girl ended tragically.

Princess Luoqi could guess the reasons behind this, how could she not pay special attention to Merica?

After all, this girl was originally the one most likely to have been Shane’s main consort, but she was overtaken by Princess Luoqi and squeezed out by the emerging Tielle—it really was quite pitiful.

Of course, Princess Luoqi would not sympathize with Merica.

Firstly, this was a matter of mutual attraction without any strife or rivalry; there was no reason to let "sympathy" interfere.

Secondly, the battlefield of love is like war, and as a princess only wanting to peacefully live out the rest of her life, Princess Luoqi faced significant pressure.

It’s not that the princess ate too gluttonously, but rather, Miss Merica, your teammate was just too tempting.

Moreover, what needed to be offered had been given, one couldn’t simply take everything and then deny accountability, right?

Princess Luoqi just wanted to say, it was very difficult for her too.

In order to marry that dog, she too had fought fiercely.

While these whimsical thoughts flickered through her mind, Princess Luoqi’s gaze softened several degrees as she started a conversation with Merica.

It was clear, Princess Luoqi wanted to build a good relationship with Merica.

This left Merica feeling somewhat overwhelmed, her voice much quieter than usual, her demeanor nervous and apprehensive, which ended up amusing Princess Luoqi.
