Who told him to rush up there?.

"The Elf High Priest..."

Upon hearing this, the Duchess looked at Duke Bruno and saw a hint of doubt and more shock in each other's eyes.

They were all born into noble families and had seen big scenes, but it was still beyond their expectations that their son could marry the high priest of the elves.

When the delegation came back earlier, they only said that the Elf Queen had arranged marriages for Eli with several elves. Among them, the one who was highlighted was the Elf Princess Luna, and the others were mentioned as if by the way.

At that time, they both found the person who brought the news looked a little strange, but they did not think much about it. They just thought that their son had broken the elves' rule of not marrying outside the family, and they were envious.

It now seems that the diplomat who reported the news was not only out of envy, but mainly because it might be inconvenient to reveal the identities of some elves directly.

But the high priest... although he is indeed in a high position, he shouldn't be so shy, right? Is there some other unknown relationship?
"Your Excellency the High Priest... uh, Miss Lily is too polite. Come and sit down."

Faced with a future daughter-in-law of such a high status, even though Duke and Duchess Bruno had seen the world, they still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

After all, he was the high priest of the elves, the legendary messenger of God. In any country, the position of high priest was second only to one person and above everyone else. Even for Eli, as the Duke of the Dawn Empire and the president of the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy, it would be a little too high to be matched with the messenger of God of the second empire on the continent.

Not to mention that the high priest was just one of Eli's many women, not his only wife.

"Madam, you are so polite. I am Eli's woman, so you are my elder. Just treat me as an ordinary daughter-in-law."

Although the high priestess had lived in the secluded Elf Empire for a long time and had no experience of being someone else's daughter-in-law, as the woman with the most ambitions towards Eli, she felt that she should build a good relationship with Eli's family and elders and try her best to have a certain position in this family to prevent herself from falling out of favor early and failing to complete her original mission.

"How can that be possible? After all, you are..."

"I think it's okay. It doesn't matter what Lily's previous identity was. Now she is just my woman. You can just treat her as Cecilia."

The Duchess still couldn't treat the second-in-command of the Elven Empire as a junior. Moreover, the position of high priest was usually held by people of high moral character and pious faith. Even without mentioning her status, her age alone made it impossible for people to regard her as their half-daughter...

But before she could finish her polite words, she was interrupted by her own son. Although it was a bit impolite for Eli to interrupt her elders, after thinking about it, she felt that what her son said made sense.

Her past identity was only the past after all. Now she is just one of Eli's women. We cannot praise her too much just because of her original noble identity. That would be unfair to Eli's other women.

But it is difficult to really regard her as Cecilia. How can a noble envoy of God who married from outside be the same as a child bride who was raised by one's own family? At most, one can only regard her as Princess Lina and Princess Luna.

"Then Lily, you take a seat first. Eli, won't you introduce the others to us?"

Duke and Duchess Bruno calmed down and adjusted their attitude before letting Eli introduce the other new brides to them.

"This is Luna, the princess of the Elf Empire. She's a little naughty, but generally well-behaved."

"This is Wendy, the first elf I met. We met before in Demon Hunting City. She is quite familiar with everyone. This time I went to the Elf Empire, I just took her home."

"This is Claire, a literary girl... a literary girl who likes all kinds of literary works and art. Sometimes she speaks tough, but she's actually very soft-hearted."

"This is Thor, the former princess of the Dragon Kingdom. Um... I don't know anything else because she and I just met today. After spending more time together, everyone will naturally get to know her."

Eli introduced his newly abducted wife to his parents one by one. The high priest had already introduced himself, so he ignored him for the time being. He introduced the three little elves one by one, but when it was Thor's turn, he couldn't say anything specific.

Just as he said, he and Thor had just met for the first time. They had only been together for half a day and were always in a hurry to travel, so they really lacked understanding of each other.

"Okay, okay, they are all good children, and each one is so beautiful. Eli, you are indeed a blessed man."

Eli is the only child in the family, and Duke and Duchess Bruno both hope that he can have many children for the family. Now that he has so many women, it is really a great thing.

What families with only one child fear most is that their child will act like a bachelor, so it's great that Eli is a pervert.

However, there was one thing the old couple still cared about. They had explained to Eli that no matter how much he doted on women of other races, it would be better for the eldest son in the family to be reborn with a woman of the human race.

The girls he brought back this time were either elves or dragons. It wasn't that they were bad, but they were not suitable for giving birth to his first child.

The best choice is Jessica. Not only does she have a good figure, but she is also very well-behaved and sensible. She was raised by her family since she was a child, so they know her inside and out and have the deepest feelings for her.

Originally, Princess Lina was also a good candidate, but it was a pity that her human bloodline was not particularly pure. Cat ears and cat tail are very cute for a girl, but if they are inherited by the future grandson, it would be a bit girly.

Cecilia is actually a good person, but she is too naughty. Her future child will definitely be a lively and active guy. It is better for the eldest son who inherits the family business to be more stable.

Evelyn is the complete opposite of Cecilia. She is a little too delicate, and her future children may be too weak and unsuitable to take on the family business.

As for Eleanor... No! My son can't be a criminal!
And Garcia, she... Oh, how can the Holy Lady of Light give birth to a child...

Just as the old couple was fantasizing about their future grandchildren, Eli saw that everyone who could come was already there, so he started a family dinner on the spot.

"Okay, now that everyone knows each other, we are all one family from now on. Please move to the banquet hall and have some fun together." The Duke of Eli's Mansion is not only huge in size and well-equipped, but even the servants in the house are carefully selected by the royal family. Several of the chefs were once royal chefs with extraordinary skills.

Even though Eli's family members are quite complex, including humans, elves, dwarves and dragons, the chefs can prepare the most suitable meals according to their different races.

Even the big elf and the three small elves who had no particular demands for food were very satisfied with the meal. They did not expect that the chefs of the Dawn Empire could make simple vegetarian dishes so interesting. It was much better than the monotonous cooking methods of the Elf Empire.

But when everyone was happily having dinner together, Eli discovered that the most favored Alyssa and the least noticeable Oliver were not at the table. The two of them, one big and one small, were huddled in a corner of the banquet hall, feeding each other with large bowls of meat.

“Alyssa, Oliver, why are you hiding so far away, come here.”

After Eli found them, he naturally invited them to come over. There was no family gathering for dinner, so two people were seated alone at a small table in the distance.

“Ah~ Sister Oliver is a maid and can’t sit at the table. Alyssa has to accompany her.”

When called by her brother, Alyssa first took a bite of the meat that Oliver fed her, then chewed it twice and swallowed it, then slowly responded to her brother.

Since she swallowed Sister Oliver once before, although she no longer had the fragrant smell that attracted her extremely after that, Alyssa still became best friends with Sister Oliver.

Although one of them is the darling of the family and everyone's favorite baby dragon, and the other is the most marginalized in the family and the big female dragon that sister Cecilia has always been keeping an eye on, because of the accidental eating incident, Alyssa also has some of Oliver's blood, so they feel closest when they are together.

Just like now, Alyssa no longer asks her once favorite sister Cecilia to feed her, but the meat fed by sister Oliver is still the most delicious.

But she can't always rely on Oliver to feed her. Alyssa has grown up a lot and she needs to learn to eat by herself. She can no longer rely on her brothers and sisters to feed her.

"Who said maids can't be at the table? Alyssa, bring Oliver here. It's fine if Cassia can't come, but how can she be left alone when she's already at home? What the hell is that?"

Eli glanced at Cecilia as he spoke, and the latter quietly shifted her gaze, not looking at her master.

Although she did not explicitly say that Oliver was not allowed to sit at the table, as a maid who had no ambiguous relationship with her master, Cecilia certainly could not treat her as a beast.

It was not her who arranged for the separate tables. She was wary of Oliver, but she was only preventing her from climbing onto the master's bed, not from eating at the table. Eating at the small table by herself like this was a habit she developed when she was working outside, so it was no wonder.

I don't know what kind of black-hearted boss she met outside. Not only did he pay her half the market price, but she also didn't provide enough food. If Oliver couldn't absorb and exhale spiritual energy and elements to survive, she would have probably pennilessly died working outside.

But it was fortunate that she met a heartless female boss. If she had met a male boss, considering her appearance which was considered top-notch except for her eye-catching skin, she would have lost more than just wages and food.

Of course, we can't underestimate Oliver's intelligence. After all, she is an adult beast. She should know to hide from the rain and won't pick up things on the ground to eat. If she is really bullied, with her strength as a holy beast, few people outside can really bully her.

"Sister Oliver, let's go over there."

After hearing what her brother said, Alyssa of course happily pulled sister Oliver away. She knew that her brother was the most important in the family and his words were more effective than anyone else's. Even sister Cecilia had to obey his orders after hearing them.

“Oliver, sit here, Alyssa, do you want me to hug you? If not, sit next to me and eat by yourself.”

Eli placed Oliver at the end of the long table and asked the real maid to serve another dish. As for Alyssa, she could eat anyone's food.

Although she was arranged to sit at the last seat, it was obvious that Oliver was very happy. She actually didn't understand the rules of the human race and couldn't tell the difference between the main and the secondary. Anyway, she could sit at the same table with her benefactor, so she should be considered one of their own.

However, her purpose of following her benefactor secretly to the human kingdom was not to eat at the table. As a Sky-Swallowing Dragon Beast... well, as a pure Sky-Swallowing Beast, she did not have any particular requirements for food. What she was seeking was the fragrant and tempting smell that her benefactor would make from time to time.

With her animal instinct, she was 100% sure that swallowing that fragrant thing would be more nutritious than swallowing the devil alive, just like how Alyssa grew rapidly after swallowing her. As long as she could swallow the mysterious supplement made by her benefactor, she would be able to soar like Alyssa.

Now, getting closer to the benefactor is already the first step. Don't think that she is a fool just because she transformed at the Saint level. In fact, she is very smart. She eats one bite at a time and plans benefits step by step. Since she has successfully mixed into the benefactor's group of women, one day she will be able to taste what she wants.

After Oliver and Alyssa sat down, the atmosphere of the dinner did not change. Instead, the Duchess was very surprised when such a beautiful maid came to her son's house. Could she be his woman?
Their family is not an old-fashioned aristocratic family that would care about being well-matched. Even maids have the opportunity to become regular employees. After all, Jessica and Cecilia were both transferred from female guards.

After that, the meal lasted until very late. Because they were so happy today, the Duchess did not limit Duke Bruno's drink and let him drink to his heart's content.

By the time the family dinner was over, Duke Bruno could no longer walk in a straight line, but the Duchess still insisted on not staying overnight at her son's house and forced the servants to send them back.

Are you kidding? Cecilia and Eli are reunited after a short separation. Why are these two old guys staying here? Won't this affect their progress in having grandchildren...

After Duke and Duchess Bruno left, Eli was the only one left in his new home along with a bunch of beauties, big and small.

At this point, Eli couldn't help but have a headache. Who to arrange to sleep with him was a big problem. You know, with the expansion of the harem, their team became larger and larger, and it was no longer possible to fit them on an extra-large bed.

What's more, he can't just get tired of the old and love the new, nor can he favor the old and ignore the new. It seems that he can only let them combine the new and the old, just like the combination of meat and vegetables is healthier.
