Chapter 619 Fight Breaks Out At Lisbel Square

A month passed.

It was the peak of summer and as seasons changed, so did the clothings of people.

Loose attires made of fine cotton were in trend and everyone roamed the streets of the Elven Continent with cold beverages and food.

Ice cream, shaved ice, lemonade, cold soba, iced watermelon, mocktails, and as such were a common thing to be seen in people's hands.

Just like the common people, Lith, along with Alea, blended in with everyone and roamed the streets of Lisbel in the Valiyer Prefecture.

Lith wore blue tinted sunglasses, a loose white shirt with two upper buttons opened, navy blue shorts, and white flip flops.

His hair was tied in a rough man bun, the usual, but it wasn't properly visible as on top of his head was a white ball of fur and above it was a sun hat.

In Lith's one hand was a can of mint berry punch mocktail, non-alcoholic of course, and his other hand was busy holding the soft palm of Alea.

Alea, walking beside Lith, wore a light yellow sundress, matching her hair that was tied in a ponytail. She also wore similar shades and a white sun hat like Lith's. Lastly, she wore a sling bag and cute white women's sandals on her feet.

Alea had a happy expression on her face as she roamed the streets of Lisbel. She was having ice cream and sightseeing while following Lith's lead.

Both the two appeared fresh as they donned vibrant summer outfits. Their appearance was unmatchable but sadly, it was a pity that their faces weren't clearly visible. The reason for that was their shades and hats.

Lith was roaming in Lisbel not because he wanted to enjoy the summer, but to check up on a few people that seemed suspicious.

He was going to come alone but Alea insisted on joining him and since Agalea also pushed Lith to take Alea along, he didn't reject her and the two were now together.

At the start everything was alright when they were here, but then Alea went missing when Lith took his eyes off her.

Lith, and Ren who was on Lith's head, searched everywhere and after a good fifteen minutes, found Alea getting scammed by a claw machine.

Lith sighed in relief after he saw that she was just being mugged by a claw machine and wasn't in trouble with any person.

From this moment onwards, he held her hand and didn't leave her alone. But of course, that was done after he got Alea a stuffed panda from the claw machine that she was trying so hard to get.

Ren, on Lith's head, sighed in relief as well after Alea was found and went back to sleep as he felt he had worked too much.

Unknowingly, after almost 2 months of being together, Lith didn't find anything wrong with Ren sleeping on his head or shoulder. At times he didn't even notice if Ren was there or not.

It was the same as one's nose being in front of their very eyes but always ignoring it.

Ren hadn't left Lith alone ever since he met him. At first it was because he was afraid of falling into Alea's hands, but later when he found a comfortable spot on Lith, he didn't feel the need to go elsewhere.

Lith too, at first was protecting Ren from Alea, but later finding Ren not troubling him and just soundly sleeping on him, didn't feel like disturbing him and let him be.

With Ren on his head, Alea beside him, and a can of mocktail in his hand, Lith walked through the streets of Lisbel in search of an average looking person.

He had heard rumours that a person with such an appearance was the reason for the disappearance of many elves.

It would've been fine if it were just some random bunch of people because kidnapping and killing was a common occurrence in this world.

But the problem was that the ones that disappeared belonged to a bunch of lesser nobles. To be more specific, relatives of lesser nobles that were active in the parliament.

The sudden disappearance of these people had upset many and caused a major uproar in the parliament last week.

The upper nobles denied all claims of being involved in it but the lesser ones kept accusing them.

Investigations were now going on in full swing and so was the search for the disappeared people.

Being at the very top, Lith used his sources and found a clue. This led him to Lisbel and although it wasn't a vacation, since Alea was here, he had to treat it like a vacation while working.

This situation felt similar to those in movies, except things were very much real and he was in a magical world where he could get assassinated by even carelessly breathing.

While Lith was on high alert, Alea, happily walking beside him, had her gaze land on a nice food stall.

"Little cousin! Let's go there!" She pointed at the stall and said while trying to drag Lith towards it.

Her ice cream was over and since she had nothing to munch on, stopping at a food stall only made sense to her.

Lith didn't budge from his place and also didn't let Alea go. He stopped her and walking close to her, said softly,

"Alea, we are on work here, remember? We can't stop so many times." 

"But—" 

Alea tried to reason but before she could do it, Lith handed her pretzel from out of nowhere.

"Oh wow." Alea's opinion changed and her focus now lay on the big pretzel in her hand.

She took a bite of it and became amazed with the salty yet sweet and bitter flavour of it.

Lith smiled looking at that and commended himself internally for being prepared for everything.

Being with Alea for two months now, he knew how to handle her well.

With Alea busy eating and Ren busy sleeping, Lith started working once again.

A few minutes of walking later, he arrived at the city centre.

There was a fountain in the middle of the square and at the sides, there were many restaurants that had chairs and tables laid outside, offering an option for open dining.

Lith took Alea with him to a cafe and sat outside. He got her a large chocolate parfait and ordered a cup of cappuccino for himself with a side of cookies for Ren.

As the order arrived, Lith sipped on the coffee and stared at the centre of the square while Alea focused on her parfait and Ren, now shifted to Lith's lap, got himself busy with the warm cookies.

Nothing really happened in the square for a good ten minutes, but then, two elves bumped into each other near the fountain.

One was a black-haired elf and the other was a green-haired elf.

It was a genuine accident and nobody was at fault here, but the black-haired guy got angry and began cursing the green-haired guy.

Lith sipped on the coffee and continued to watch them petting Ren on his lap.

At first it was only the black-haired guy cursing but not being able to take it anymore the green-haired guy also started doing the same.

A battle of words took place between the two until the black-haired guy couldn't take it anymore and shouted,

"YOU FILTHY NOBLES ARE THE REASON WE COMMONERS ARE SUFFERING!" 

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the other party immediately retaliated,

"YOU FILTHY COMMONERS SHOULD BE THANKFUL WE HAVEN'T KILLED YOU YET!" 

These two statements from the two stopped the people in the square that were busy and moving.

Their statements surprised them as well as the onlookers that were already watching the two bicker.

Gasps could be heard from the crowd in response to the two's statements.

"WOAH!"

"WHAAAAT!?"

"DID HE REALLY SAY THAT!?"

A crowd formed around the two and finding the situation favourable, the black-haired guy yelled,

"BROTHERS AND SISTERS, THIS GUY AND HIS LINEAGE IS THE REASON WE'RE SUFFERING!"

"LET'S GET HIMMMMM!" 

Saying so, he charged at the green-haired guy.

"YEAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" The crowd of commoners roared and charged at the green-haired guy as well.

"YOU FILTHY SCUMS. DO YOU THINK I CAN'T KILL YOU!?" The green-haired guy lashed out and immediately made a ring of fire around him, giving third degree burns to the weak ones.

"AHHHHH!" The ones who got burnt shouted.

"HOW DARE YOU!?!" The black-haired guy shouted.

"ATTAAAAACCCKKKK!" He became the commander and instructed everyone to charge.

The green-haired guy was stronger than the commoners and easily held off against them. However, more and more people were joining with each passing second and he couldn't help but curse and call for help.

The guy tore a talisman within his pocket and summoned a few more nobles.

Pretty soon, the situation at the square worsened.

Lith, still sipping coffee, smiled and said softly while looking at them,

"Interesting."
