章 147: Chapter 147: Revenge?/ Volume 5, Part 1 End!

"Anyways, Prince Elif, what are your plans after this? Do you still intend to confront Prince Ivan?" Asked Eyvor curiously, her words shifting Elif to the center of attention.

"I plan to visit the Divine Phoenix Clan since they sent me an invitation letter a few years ago, and until now, I haven't been given the privilege of leaving the Empire. However, I still intend to confront Ivan; meeting someone from an Immortal Hegemony should be somewhat interesting; besides, I've heard rumors that he is supposedly tracking an Angel, and I wouldn't mind meeting one if the opportunity presents itself." Replied Elif with a small smile of interest while fanning himself with his purple and black quạt tay.

"Well, do be careful, Prince Elif; I've heard that Prince Ivan is a very lustful individual, and considering beautiful women surround you, I wouldn't be surprised if he attempts something." Advised Shelia while glancing at Mandy, Illumia, Marley, and Idonea, though Elif merely chuckled in response.

"He is welcome to try; however, it'll only end in his destruction. Besides, I highly doubt he is stupid and arrogant enough to antagonize me over something like that, at least not on our first contact." Said Elif with a slight smirk before shaking his head.

"That may be so, but you never know these days; descendants from Immortal Hegemonies are always weird." Remarked Birger, his words causing everyone to chuckle slightly while Elif blankly stared at him.

"Alright, I wouldn't mind continuing this conversation; but I must get going; I've already informed the Divine Phoenix Clan of my arrival, and I don't wish to be late." Said Elif lightly before approaching Patriarch and Matriarch in the near distance.

"I appreciate you having me, Patriarch Aasveig; I mostly had a wonderful time." Said Elif while looking at Patriarch, who was awkwardly smiling.

"It was an honor to have your presence, Prince Elif, and the experience was unique, to say the least." Replied Patriarch Aasveig while smiling, neither bringing up what happened during the first banquet.

"And It was a pleasure meeting you, Matriarch Aasveig." Said Elif while shifting his eyes toward Matriarch Aasveig, who was to the right of Patriarch Aasveig.

"I wish I could say the same, Prince Elif." Replied Matriarch softly while eyeing Elif through her fake smile, her words startling Patriarch.

Hearing Matriarch's response left me slightly stunned, as while I've noticed she seemed to dislike me, I didn't think she would be bold enough to say it to my face; however, I didn't mind it one bit if anything, I found it somewhat respectable.

"Hehe; I quite like your boldness, Matriarch Aasveig." Remarked Elif lightly while chuckling as he began walking toward his carriage.

While heading toward my carriage, I signaled toward everyone, which prompted Illumia to open the carriage door so I may enter the carriage; once I was inside the carriage, Idonea, Marley, and Illumia followed right after while Mandy and her guards surrounded the carriage.

Moving the curtain, I looked out the window, though I didn't use my divine sense as I had a feeling Edvin was in the vicinity, and I didn't wish to kill him right before leaving the Fairy Clan, forming some bad blood between us; not to mention I was in a pretty good mood. So, I decided it would be best to stay ignorant of his actual location; besides, I don't know for sure he is present; it's just a hunch.

"Whenever I decide to host a party, I'll make sure to invite you all." Declared Elif with a smirk while eyeing Eyvor, Birger, Goliath, Echo, and Shelia.

"Considering you attended my party, I can't possibly refuse." Said Eyvor lightly while smiling.

"You know I'll attend, Prince Elif; I still haven't won Sarah's heart yet!" Stated Birger, though his words caused Marley to snort in annoyance.

"If there is alcohol or fighting, I'll be there! Haha." Declared Goliath while laughing.

"I see no reason to refuse such an invitation; I'll be able to spread my teachings about the power of the physique to many Elves in need of muscle." Replied Echo passionately while subconsciously flexing her muscles.

"I'm sure my Elder brother would love to visit the place where part of his bloodline originated from; the home of the Elves." Said Shelia while nodding.

"Well, until next time, I suppose; hopefully, you will all have improved your techniques by then, and we can have another fight. Just don't expect you'll win!" Stated Elif with a prideful smile.

Seeing how they were about to respond, I quickly ordered Zulo and Zala, prompting them both to release beautiful neighs before they suddenly rushed toward the sky, leaving the floating island. With Zulo and Zala pulling the carriages, it didn't take long before we neared the edge of the Fairy Clan's territory, much quicker than when we left the Elven Empire's territory, though considering the Fairy Clan is significantly smaller; It only makes sense.

Right as we were just about to leave the territory, a slight glow suddenly appeared in the sky before it expanded and formed a circle, which we passed right through; looking behind me, no longer did the beautiful psionic forest come into view, now it was just a typical forest, causing one never to think twice that the Fairy Clan was right there.

"I won't lie; that is quite impressive." Remarked Elif lightly while shifting his focus back to the carriage.

"So, how far away is the Divine Phoenix Clan?" Asked Elif with a smirk while looking at Illumia, who was sitting directly opposite him.

"Considering you plan to spend a day or two searching for the rumored Angel and confronting Prince Ivan, I'd estimate it'll take roughly seven days before we arrive at the Phoenix Clan." Declared Illumia, while Elif sighed in annoyance.

"So, even without taking a little detour, it still would've taken five or six days to reach the Phoenix Clan!? Haa, I suppose I should've expected as much; they are quite a distance away from our Empire." Remarked Elif blandly while glancing out the window.

"Since it'll take some time to reach the Phoenix Clan, do you mind sitting here, Idonea?" Said Elif as he patted the space right next to him while looking at the confused Idonea.

"I do not mind, your Highness, but what will me sitting beside you accomplish?" Asked Idonea as she sat beside Elif, whose following actions surprised her.

With Idonea now sitting beside me, I lay down while resting my head atop her lap, which was quite firm yet also soft, reminding me of my royal bed, but just not as comfortable. Once I got my head comfortable on her warm thighs, I looked at her while responding.

"It'll make me more comfortable, and speaking of that, you've got nice thighs, Idonea; firm yet also soft, the perfect combination." Replied Elif lightly as he looked at Idonea's deeply blushed face.

"I appreciate the compliment, your H-Highness." Said Idonea with a pounding heart while trying her best to stay professional before Elif, though her temptations eventually won.

While lying on Idonea's lap with my eyes closed, I suddenly felt her hand atop my head as she began gently caressing my face and brushing my hair, which is something I didn't expect she would do, but I wasn't bothered by it, so I allowed her to as she pleased.

"Your hair feels wonderful, your Highness." Said Idonea quietly while brushing Elif's silky smooth hair.

"Of course it does; how could my hair be anything but wonderful?" Remarked Elif narcissistically with closed eyes while slightly smirking.

"May I also touch your hair, your Highness?" Asked Marley eagerly while intently eyeing Elif.

"Nope, I'm only allowing Idonea to do so since I'm using her lap as a headrest." Replied Elif, his words causing Marley to pout as she looked at Idonea in envy while she smirked in response.

"Since you've explored the OverRealm, Illumia, is there anything worth visiting that's on the way to the Phoenix Clan? I've informed the Phoenix Clan that I will arrive within nine days, so we have a little extra time to do something else." Asked Elif with a curious expression.

"I believe there are a few things you would find interesting, but none of them are overly intriguing, so I don't think it would be worth visiting them when you're on a time limit, so to speak; it would be much more enjoyable doing everything at your own pace." Replied Illumia while glancing at Elif before also closing her eyes.

"Hmm, if that's the case, then we can ignore them for now; having just left from a multiday celebration party, I'm not exactly in need of entertainment. Besides, it's not like this is the only time I'll be in the OverRealm, I'm sure I'll leave the Empire plenty of times in the future, so I'll have many opportunities to visit such places." Stated Elif with a mental nod before the carriage descended into silence.

For a few hours, we sat in silence, and while I'm sure Marley was bored, the three of us were enjoying the tranquility, as that doesn't seem to happen often. However, while I was savoring the silence that I knew would eventually disappear, I suddenly sat up while grabbing my head in intense pain, and it seemed my sudden actions surprised Marley and Idonea while Illumia looked beyond livid.

"WHO DARES TO HARM HIS HIGHNESS IN MY PRESENCE!?" Exclaimed Illumia angrily, while her voice, laced with intense killing intent, echoed across tens of millions of kilometers as she stood up and summoned two silver battle axes from her dimension ring.

"Someone attacked His Highness!?" Remarked Idonea angrily as she stood up and summoned her sword while protectively standing before Elif.

"I'll eradicate your entire bloodline for harming, His Highness!" Announced Marley in rage as she summoned her spear and appeared beside Idonea.

"Your Highness, are you okay!?" Asked Mandy worriedly as she busted through the carriage door with her giant lump of iron that she calls a sword.

"Hahaha! Everyone calm down; it's a false alarm; I'm not being attacked. Yes, I'm fine, Mandy." Ordered Elif lightly with an angry expression, yet his happy smile overshadowed it as he laughed while also grabbing his head in pain.

'Hehe, I hope you enjoyed the gift I left you; Comet!' Thought Elif with a thin smile of amusement.
