Chapter 27: 27. Royal Banquet [4]:- Meeting A Dark Elf.

Evelyn made a gesture with her hand and she permitted him to speak.

The noble stood up and spoke while adding mana to his voice so that everyone would be able to hear him clearly.

"Your Majesty, Please forgive my boldness for what I'm about to say but I believe everyone present in the hall right now will be interested in knowing if His Highness will be partaking in the Noble Elf Tournament coming up in the next ten years,"

The noble who asked Evelyn a question was none other than a Viscount of the kingdom. He was a dark elf with platinum blonde hair and a green colored eyes.

His name was Viscount Joralf Meir and he wore a formal attire which couldn't conceal his muscular build underneath.

"Your Majesty, since His Highness will be ten years of age by the time the tournament begins, doesn't this mean His Highness will be participating as well?" The Viscount asked and a murmur erupted within the hall.

The Noble Elf Tournament was a tournament that occurred every five hundred years within the Elf kingdom.

It's a tournament where elves within the ages of ten to hundred (10 -100) years old were allowed to participate.

This meant that it wasn't limited to the adult noble elves alone, children of nobles were allowed to participate in the tournament as well and everyone were interested in knowing what the prince could do if he were to participate as well.

The murmuring continued within the hall as the nobles discussed between themselves about how exciting it would be for Orion to participate in the tournament.

Meanwhile, sitting beside the Viscount was his wife and his son, a dark elf around the age of seven.

His name was Adrian Meir and beside him was another young boy around the same age as Adrian.

The other boy's name was Scott, but unlike Adrian who was an elf, Scott wasn't an elf, instead he was something else.

Hearing his father talking about the upcoming elf tournament, Adrian suddenly had an idea in his mind as he smiled to himself.

'It would be nice to fight against the prince,' Adrian chuckled to himself before feeling like he had to use the toilet.

He swiftly excused himself and stood up from his seat to find where the toilet for the guests were.

Scott followed him from behind and the two of them met a maid who decided to guide them to where the toilet was.

While they stepped out of the hall, Scott decided to ask Adrian a question that came to mind. "Master, do you think the prince will participate in the tournament?"

"I don't know, but I'm still confident I'll be able to win the tournament,"

"Master, are you sure about that? His Highness has a Kitsune by his side and even for a spirit guardian like me, I doubt I'll be able to win against her,"

Scott was Adrian's spirit guardian.

Just like Mia, Scott was a spirit guardian capable of assuming a human appearance.

This means that they were part of the strongest spirit guardians in the spirit realm.

Adrian stopped walking and turned around to face Scott before saying."You worry too much Scott. The tournament will be coming up in the next ten years, so we have enough time to prepare for it, and besides, We've been training for the past two years in preparation for this, so we ....."

"... should be strong enough to defeat the prince right?" Orion's voice sounded from behind Adrian.

Adrian smiled and turned around while saying. "Indeed, we should be strong enough to beat the.....?" Adrian suddenly paused mid-sentence when he noticed who was in front of him.

"Y-Y-Your Highness?" His eyes widened in shock when he was certain Orion was the one standing in front of him with Mia standing by Orion's side.

Orion and Mia had just arrived.

It's been two hours since he's been sleeping in the courtyard, so Orion decided to return back to the hall with Mia before everyone returned back home.

However, while they were returning back to the hall, Orion suddenly noticed that Adrian and Scott were talking about him and Mia but neither of them had noticed his presence until he opened his mouth to speak.

Adrian and Scott instantly bowed before Orion with the maid doing the same behind them. "Your Highness, please forgive us for...."

"It's fine, I'm not offended by your words,"

"Huh?" Adrian instantly raised his head up. "Your Highness, d-do you really mean it?"

"Of course," Orion replied with a smile but the top of Adrian's forehead had sweat slowly sliding down his cheeks because he could see the murderous aura radiating out of Mia.

If Orion wasn't holding her hand right now, she probably would have tore him to shreds.

Adrian swallowed his saliva down in a loud gulp before saying. "T-Thank you, your Highness,"

"You're welcome, now I'm interested in knowing more about the tournament you speak of,"

"Huh? The tournament?"

"Yes,"

Adrian looked at Scott and wondered if he should speak.

"Go on, tell me what the tournament is about," Orion urged them to speak up and Adrian nodded his head in understanding.

"Okay, your Highness," Adrian replied and he began to explain what he knew about the tournament.

"The Noble Elf Tournament is a tournament mainly for the nobles in the kingdom and their children, but commoners are also allowed to participate. However, the tournament only allows talented and hardworking commoners to participate,"

Adrian continued to explain what he knew about the tournament. Orion was able to find that the tournament was divided into two different age groups.

The younger age groups and the adults age group.

The younger age group consists of elves around the age of (10 - 17) while the adult age group consist of elves within the age of (18-100).

This means that in the next ten years, Orion will be participating in the Junior Noble Elf Tournament where children of noble families compete in various challenges to demonstrate their martial prowess, magical abilities and so on with the first, second and third receiving a couple of rewards.

This was a summary of what the tournament was all about but aside from all these, Orion also found out why Adrian was confident in himself winning the tournament.


Chapter 28: 28. Royal Banquet [5]:- Orion Makes A Choice.

Since the contest would be coming up in the next ten years, Adrian would be seventeen years old by then, and he would most likely be among the few older nobles participating in the Junior Noble Elf Tournament which made him feel a bit confident in himself.

This was because most of the children of the current Duke, Earls and Barons were already above seventeen years old, which meant that most of them would be contesting in the adult Noble Elf Tournament.

However, there would still be a couple of young, talented nobles participating in the Junior Tournament. But regardless of this, Adrian believed that he would be the one to win the tournament.

"Do you know any of the talented nobles that will be participating with us?" Orion asked.

"Y-yes, Your Highness, but I only know a few of them."

"Go on."

"The third son of Baron Manchester will be participating; as will the fourth son of Earl Ramsbottom; and the first daughter of Duke Cyprus, Lady Luna Cyprus, will definitely be participating too."

"I see," Orion pondered over what Adrian said.

'I guess this means that if I participate in the game, I'll be contesting against at least four strong nobles for the top three ranking,' Orion uttered in his thoughts.

He included Adrian in the number of young nobles he would be contesting against.

'But then again, I can't be certain that these four will be the only ones who will prove to be difficult to fight against in the tournament.'

'Moreover, is it really important for me to participate?'

'I really see no reason why I should even bother myself with this tournament in the first place.'

"Why are you so interested in winning this tournament? Is there some kind of reward you will be given if you win?" Orion asked Adrian.

"Y-yes Your Highness."

"Really? What is it?"

"Winners of the Junior Noble Elf Tournament will be given new titles, lands and magical artefacts as well."

"Oh," Orion replied with a disappointed look on his face. "Is that all?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Orion instantly became unmotivated to participate in the tournament. "I guess I won't be participating in the tournament then."

"Huh? Y-your Highness, why?"

"Well, that's because I'm not interested in earning any new title or lands. I mean, what's the point of having those things in the first place?"

Orion could understand why Adrian might want to win the tournament.

Because Adrian was the son of a Viscount, winning the tournament would allow his father's title to be upgraded to that of an Earl or possibly a Duke.

However, Orion was already a prince, what else would a prince such as himself be hoping to gain from participating in the tournament?

So, in a nutshell, Orion has decided not to participate in the upcoming tournament.

"But your Highness, it's not just about having titles and lands."

"Then what else is there to fight for?"

"Your Highness, not only is the tournament seen as a way for us to showcase our skills to everyone in the kingdom, but it's also a way for us to gain recognition from the nobles and our fellow contestants as well."

"Hmm, I see," Orion assumed a thinking posture as he stroked his bare chin. "Yep, my answer remains the same, I'm certainly not going to…"

"....Your mother won the last tournament."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Q-Queen Evelyn participated in the last tournament and won."

"My mom contested in the last tournament and won?"

"Yes, your Highness and she was just fifteen years old at the time,"

"F-fifteen? You're saying mum was fifteen years old when she contested and she won the tournament?"

"Y-yes, your Highness,"

"You mean she won the Junior Noble Tournament right?"

"Yes, your Highness, but she also won the Adult tournament as well,"

"I'm confused,"

"I mean the Queen won the Junior Noble Elf Tournament and when she did, the three winners of the Junior Tournament contested against the three winners of the adult tournament and----,"

"---And that was how she won the tournament," Orion muttered to himself.

"Yes, your Highness,"

"....." Orion remained silent as he pondered about how amazing his mother really is.

He knew his mother was strong but Orion wasn't expecting her to have been so overpowered from a very young age.

Orion's lips instinctively stretched into a smile.

He recalled his desire to grow stronger and to join his mother in the same rank so that the both could have a never ending lifespan together with Elena.

However, it seems an opportunity for him to start working hard on this dream had presented itself now and Orion didn't want to lose this opportunity.

Orion wondered if he could break his mother's record by winning the tournament at the age of ten.

Not only would he be acknowledged by his mother and aunt, but he would also be acknowledged by everyone in the kingdom.

'It would also allow me to be confident in achieving even greater goals and dreams in the future,' Orion uttered in his thought.

Aside from his desire to be as strong or even stronger than his mother and aunt so that he could enjoy a never-ending lifespan with the two of them in the future, Orion also had other dreams in mind for his future as well.

His bucket list of the things he wanted to see and do in the future were endless but he knew if he wanted to enjoy carrying out his goals and dreams, he had to have the strength to protect himself and those he cared about as well because he lived in a world where strength spoke volumes.

'I've made up my mind,'

'I'm definitely going to participate in the upcoming tournament,'

"I can't wait to get started," Orion uttered as he made up his mind.

"Huh? Y-your Highness, what do you mean?" Adrian asked, confused by what the prince said.

"I mean, I'll be participating in the tournament."
