"Either way, I appreciate the gifts; thank you, Goliath." Said Eyvor with a light smile as she grabbed the dimension ring placed on a plate labeled Half.
"You're welcome!" Replied Goliath.
When Eyvor finished inspecting the dimension ring, she summoned the ring's contents again, though, unlike all the previous times, there was only one object; a large ethereal crystal.
"A psionic crystal!?" Exclaimed Eyvor in surprise as she floated the crystal roughly half her size in the air.
"Yes, but not only is it a psionic crystal; it's a psionic crystal with ninety-four percent purity." Remarked Shelia with a slight smile while nodding her head.
"Ho, ninety-four percent purity on a crystal that size; you don't see that every day." Commented Elif with a raised eyebrow, though his expression was still nonchalant like usual.
"I must agree with you on that, Prince Elif; the biggest psionic crystal I've ever seen was roughly four times the size of that crystal, yet it only had a purity quality of eighty percent, far inferior to the one Eyvor has." Said Patriarch while eyeing the psionic crystal as he agreed with Elif.
"Thank you very much, Shelia; this is a wonderful gift, though I'm surprised you didn't keep this for yourself; this is, after all, a very rare." Remarked Eyvor with a large smile as she stored the psionic crystal in her dimension ring.
"I won't lie; I did take a small piece, as you said; with how rare that crystal is, who knows if I'll ever get a chance to find another." Said Shelia lightly while everyone else chuckled in response, though they couldn't blame her as they would've done the same.
"It looks like you're next, Birger; you think the gifts you've picked out are better than the previous ones?" Asked Elif curiously while watching Eyvor grab the dimension ring with the label of Dryad.
"Hmm, why not you see for yourself? Actions speak louder than words, after all." Replied Birger with a smirk while Eyvor floated two objects in the air after summoning them from the dimension ring.
When I laid my eyes on the two presents, the first thing I noticed was that they both resembled the chest that contained three Victerbel seeds and since Birger is a dryad, I assumed they were seeds, most likely rare plant seeds as well. However, when she opened one of the chests, I was slightly startled at what it contained since it was coincidently one of the gifts I picked out for Eyvor.
"A twelve-leafed spiritual clover, that is quite something, Birger." Commented Elif blandly while his eye twitched in slight annoyance.
"Oh my, a twelve-leafed spiritual clover? This is a remarkable gift, Birger; this alone is already more than enough for me, yet I still have another chest to open." Stated Eyvor with an eager smile as she closed the chest and stored it in her dimension ring before opening the second chest.
"My goodness, Prince Birger, not only did you gift Miss Eyvor a twelve-leafed spiritual clover, but you also gifted her a rainbow stone of harmonization!?" Exclaimed Echo in slight shock while everyone else in the dining hall quietly muttered to themself.
"Ho, it seems like you're worried that I might beat you now, Echo." Said Birger with a chuckle as she eyed the startled Echo, who quickly composed herself after her outburst.
"I may be slightly worried, but I still have faith in my present; after all, Patriarch did say it is possibly one of the best gifts a Fairy could get." Replied Echo as she focused back on Eyvor, who was currently examining the stone.
"A twelve-leafed spiritual clover and a rainbow stone of harmonization; this truly is an incredible gift, Birger, though I'm also surprised you'd be willing to part with either of these." Remarked Eyvor with a happy smile as she stored the chest containing the rainbow stone in her dimension ring.
"Hehe, well, I'm glad you enjoyed my presents; however, I can't take full credit for those gifts; only one is mine, the twelve-leafed spiritual clover. I had originally planned on giving you a different present; however, when my mother found out, she swapped it out with the rainbow stone of harmonization." Said Birger as he chuckled while explaining why he was late arriving at the Fairy Clan.
"Then it seems I must thank Queen Nerthus next time I see her." Replied Eyvor with a light chuckle as she proceeded to grab the second to last dimension ring on the table, which was placed on a golden plate labeled Royal Elf.
"I'm quite interested in knowing what Prince Elif gifted Eyvor; with how calm he's been this entire time, he must have confidence in his presents." Muttered Goliath with a small smile of interest.
"Well, I advise you to prepare yourself; knowing Prince Elif and how much he loves boasting about himself, I'm sure the gifts he's arranged for Eyvor will be unique, to say the least." Remarked Birger as he carefully eyed Eyvor, who was curiously inspecting the dimension ring.
"Haha, you don't need to exaggerate, Birger; I didn't prepare anything too crazy, though if I had known beforehand, I would make this bet; I would've gone overboard." Said Elif with some laughter, though Birger didn't fully believe his claim.
Once Eyvor was done examining the dimension ring, she summoned all five gifts and floated them in the air, though before she even opened the chests, everyone was already somewhat startled at the number of gifts, considering up until now, the highest amount of gifts from one Hegemony has been three.
"What was that about preparing nothing too crazy, Prince Elif?" Asked Birger dryly while eyeing Elif, who simply ignored his comment.
"Five present; this is a rather significant amount, Prince Elif." Stated Eyvor, though, from her facial expression, it didn't seem like she opposed it.
"Well, there were originally only supposed to be four presents; however, just before leaving, I added a little extra, if you will." Said Elif as he fanned himself with his quạt tay, though Eyvor didn't fully believe he added just a little extra.
"Oh, also, I suggest opening the golden chest last and the green chest first; I don't want you accidentally opening the worst gift for last; that would be very anticlimactic." Added Elif, to which Eyvor nodded in agreeance as she opened the green box first.
"P-Prince Elif, are you sure this is the correct chest? You didn't happen to mix them, did you?" Asked Eyvor with an awkward smile as she and everyone else viewed the contents of the green chest.
"Nope, you've opened the correct one; the chest with the five nine-leafed and two twelve-leafed spiritual clovers. I expected them to be a decent present; however, with Birger having already gifted you one, they almost seem dull now." Remarked Elif with a slight frown and a shake of his head while glancing at Birger.
"I-I see, Prince Elif; anyways, even if they seem dull to you, this is still an incredible present, and just because I now have three doesn't mean its value is any less in my eyes." Said Eyvor with a forced smile as she closed the chest and stored it in her dimension before opening the smallest chest, which revealed a pinkish pill with five stars.
"Just merely breathing in its aroma, I can already feel the pill's effects." Muttered Eyvor in amazement as she felt her ethereal body strengthen and purify itself.
"Is that the soul enrichment pill, Prince Elif?" Asked Patriarch with a raised eyebrow; even from this distance, he could smell the pill and very slightly feel its effects.
"Yes, it is; a five-star, high-God tier soul enrichment pill. Though you must be quite familiar with this pill if you could deduce it just from the smell alone, Patriarch." Replied Elif with a nod of his head while outstretching his hand toward Eyvor, who was currently in a daze from the pill's smell and its effects on her body, before manifesting a small purple palm that shut the small chest.
"Yes, the soul enrichment pill is a staple pill used by Fairies, so I've had my fair share in this lifetime; however, I believe I've only consumed one pill that is of the same quality as the one in that chest, and that was shortly after my coronation." Stated Patriarch with a light smile while chuckling at Eyvors behavior.
"Ahh, sorry about that; the pill's aroma was so delectable that I momentarily forgot where I was." Said Eyvor with a light blush and an embarrassed expression while everyone in the dining hall either laughed or was caught in a trance by Eyvor's beauty.
"No need to be in a rush, dear; nothing will happen to your pill." Commented Matriarch with a chuckle while using her hands to cover her mouth.
Once the dining hall regained its tranquility, Eyvor continued with opening the chests, and this next one was as good, if not better, than the soul enrichment pill.
"Prince Elif, you must be joking; the soul enrichment pill was already more than I could ask for, not to mention it was of perfect quality. However, now you gift me this? A mystical lotus?" Stated Eyvor with shock as she eyed the mystical lotus, which had seven petals, each petal of a different color.
"First, five nine-leafed and two twelve-leafed spiritual clovers; second, a soul enrichment pill of perfect quality, and now a mystical lotus." Muttered Matriarch with a frown while nervously glancing at her dimension ring on the table nearby Eyvor and the two chests floating in the air, precisely the golden one.
