章節 247: Mother-in-law... Too much!!

"...."

"...."

An hour had passed since the duel time, and still, there was no sign of Kaelith arriving at the duelling ground. The tension in the air was palpable, and the crowd's murmurs grew louder with each passing minute.

"Did the Elder really not care for his tribe?" 

"Well, it's been an hour already," another replied, shaking their head in disbelief.

"Haha... Now the High Elf tribe is in a predicament," a third added with a mocking laugh, clearly enjoying the High Elves' discomfort.

The murmurs of the crowd were almost loud enough to reach Maelona's ears. She rubbed her forehead, feeling a mix of annoyance and anger. This was not how she had envisioned the day going.

Seated beside her, Liora couldn't help but smile. She glanced at Maelona, a teasing glint in her eye. "What happened? It's been an hour, you know~" Her tone was laced with mockery, the smirk on her lips widening.
