But who would have known that the Imperial Princess had a knack for giving gifts?
Because by the end of their laver sheet-making endeavor, one young elf emerged on top with her famous hand shovel.
It was a little too pink and had more gems than anyone would normally expect, but even the Emperor had no qualms about borrowing and using it when the cups they were using proved second-rate compared to the bedazzled equipment that could spread the seaweed perfectly in a single swipe.
Of course, the sight was rather questionable. Towering men stood around using a tiny pink shovel with intense concentration, but at the same time, it made several elves extremely thankful.
Prince Elior watched quietly from the side.
Right now, his little sister, Princess Marin, was positively beaming every time someone came over to borrow her precious shovel.
They would introduce themselves to her politely, and she would gladly hand it over while offering a few tips with surprising seriousness.
