บท 18: 18. Leaving The Castle.

The next morning, Orion stood in front of a dressing mirror in Evelyn's bedroom as he got dressed for his mana core awakening ceremony.

He stared at his hands which had grown bigger compared to yesterday.

'My appearance right now is similar to that of a five-year-old,' he uttered in his thoughts before raising his head to look at himself in the mirror.

His blonde hair had grown a bit thicker and longer as well, but my blue eyes remained the same, they were just like my mother's eyes.

While Orion was looking at himself in the mirror, he suddenly saw his Aunt appear behind him before kneeling down and resting her chin on his shoulder while hugging him from behind.

"What are you doing staring at the mirror for so long?" Elena asked while looking at his reflection in the mirror. "Are you still worried about how fast you're growing?"

Orion wasn't really worried about this.

His mind was made up, which is why he hoped to awaken two aspects of his mana core today so that his body will begin to grow like a normal elf starting from today.

"Not really. Since I know the same thing happened to you and Mum, I'm not as worried as I was yesterday." he replied.

"Oh, really?"

"Yep."

"But you still miss the way you looked like yesterday, right?"

"Yes, I do. But since there's nothing I can do about it, I'm just going to have to focus on awakening my mana core."

Hearing Orion's words, a smile spread across Elena's face as she said. "You're being a lot more mature about the changes occurring in your body than I was expecting you to be."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"Nope, it isn't. Instead, I think it's cute to see my little nephew growing up and acting like an adult," Elena smiled and kissed Orion on his cheeks.

"Now, turn around and let me straighten up your clothes."

Orion turned around and allowed his aunt to tidy up his appearance.

He was wearing a regal, emerald green tunic with a high collar, the sleeveless tunic was designed to accentuate his little physique.

"All done."

"Thanks, Auntie," Orion thanked his Aunt before spreading his arms wide as he asked. "So, how do I look?"

"Like the most handsome elf prince ever."

Hearing this, Orion smiled and Elena smiled in return before kissing his forehead. Then, she stood up to get dressed.

The moment she was done, she noticed Orion staring at the mirror again but this time around, he seemed to be lost in his thoughts

"Are you worried about today?"

"A little."

"Don't worry, dear. Today will turn out to be a great day, just trust in yourself and everything we've taught you, Okay?"

"Okay."

"Good, now let's get going, remember we have a royal banquet held specifically for you later today," Elena beamed before gently grabbing hold of Orion's little hand.

"Okay Auntie," Orion held his aunt's hand and both of them walked out of Evelyn's bedroom.

Although Orion didn't lie about being worried with regards to him forming a mana core, it wasn't the reason why he was staring at the mirror, seemingly lost in thought.

The reason was that he had just received a new tier of missions for him to complete.

[A list of Four Tier-Two Missions is now available for the host.]

[First Mission:- Mana Core.]

[As you take the first step towards having a fun and thrilling life as an elf, you must form a mana core which would make your day-to-day activities a lot easier.]

[Second Mission:- Summon.]

[As an elf, it is expected to have an elemental by your side or a spirit guardian. Low to mid-talented elves summon elementals while highly-talented elves summon spirits. Summon yours to discover what range of talent you possess.]

[Third Mission:- Friend.]

[As a prince attending a royal banquet specifically for you, you'll meet various elf nobles from across the kingdom and their children. The goal is to make friends with someone, it doesn't matter if he or she is a noble or a maid.]

[Fourth Mission:- Harmony,]

[This is your chance to awaken two aspects of your mana core. Once two aspects of your mana core has been awoken, both your physical and mental development will slow down and follow the normal growth pattern of a forest elf.]

Orion smiled once again as he recalled the new tiers of mission the system had given him.

Out of all the four quests, he was extremely excited about the fourth quests because he really wanted to live and grow just as how an elf should.

Upon walking out of his mother's bedroom, Orion's eyes fell on two guards standing in front of her bedroom.

"Your Highness."

The two guards immediately bowed before Orion and Elena the moment they saw them walking out of the room.

One would expect the guards to be elves since they were currently in the elven kingdom, however, that wasn't the case with the guards bowing in front of them.

The two male guards were tall, muscular, and imposing green-skinned orcs with razor-sharp teeth.

They held massive weapons and shields that were used to protect the royal family.

Elena acknowledged their presence and walked with Orion along the extended corridor with the guards trailing behind them.

Orion wasn't really surprised seeing the orcs in the castle because yesterday, Elena had told him a bit about the elven kingdom's past and how the orcs had always fought against the elven race even before the war began.

It was Evelyn and Elena who single-handedly fought against the orc general's army and won.

In the end, the orc general yielded and the orc tribe has been serving the royal family and the kingdom ever since.

While walking along the corridor with Elena, Orion could feel the eyes of the orc guards behind him but he sensed no malicious intent coming from them because if they had one, they'd probably be dead by now with their heads chopped off by Elena's sword.

Instead, he could sense how curious they were about him, knowing that he was currently the son of the strongest elf queen in the world.

'I'm certain that if Auntie wasn't here with me, they'd probably try their best to talk to me.'

'With the way they're acting, they seem to see me as some kind of celebrity.'

'It's not that I mind the way they're curious about me, but it's just that…' Orion paused in his thoughts as he swallowed his saliva in a loud gulp.

'... These two orcs aren't the only ones staring at me right now.'

บท 19: 19. Scary Maids.

At the edge of the corridor behind them, Orion spotted seven maids with the aid of his skill [Omnivision]. They were hiding behind a wall as they admired their prince from a safe distance.

"Do you see him?" One of the maids whispered.

"Yes, I do."

"It's him."

"It's really him."

"It's prince Galdur."

"He looks so young."

"And handsome too."

"I wanna touch him."

"Aww, I'm in love, the prince is so cute."

"Do you think he would mind having me as his personal sla... I mean maid."

"Me too, I wouldn't mind doing certain things with the prince once he's all grown up."

"Please, ladies, keep your dirty thoughts to yourself. We're maids of the royal family, we can't be seen behaving in such…"

"Shh, keep quiet, you're disrupting my concentration."

"Shut up, when have you ever concentrated on anything before?"

"Hmm, true, but those things never mattered to me as much as the prince does right now."

*Sighs*

"I wonder how you got the job as a maid in the first place."

"With luck, that's for sure."

Everyone giggled after one of the maids said this, but one of them suddenly noticed something.

"Hey girls, are you seeing this?"

"Oh, no. Prince Galdur is heading to the courtyard with the princess."

"Hurry up girls, we have to see more of him."

"You're right. I can't get enough of the prince."

"He's just too cute."

The seven maids hurriedly walked through the hallway to have a better look at Orion while keeping a safe distance from him so that he and Elena wouldn't notice their presence.

However, Orion had not only seen them already, but he heard every single word each of the maids uttered as well.

'Scary,' Orion uttered in his thoughts.

'A high elf's hearing range is truly scary.'

'Also, the maids in the castle are truly scary.'

'It's a good thing Auntie is with me right now.'

'Because if she wasn't, I'm sure the maids would have devoured me with their eyes right now.'

Cold sweat began to accumulate on his forehead and Elena smiled, noticing the worried look on his face.

"You have nothing to worry about dear, those girls won't do anything to you without my permission."

Orion felt relieved after hearing Elena's words.

He wasn't really worried about the maids. He was just surprised by how honest they were about their desires, hence why he said the maids were scary.

Anyway, Orion had made up his mind not to pay too much attention to the maids again as he tried his best to focus on what he had to do today.

Since today would be the day he awakened his mana core, this meant that he would have to leave the castle.

He would have to attend a sacred site which also happened to be the only place with a dense amount of mana.

It is also the only place in the kingdom where the spirit realm intercepts with the mortal realm.

The spirit realm is said to be the home of many dangerous spirit beasts and spirits as well, which means that it wouldn't be surprising to see dangerous beasts being summoned along with docile spirits and elementals.

'Yep, there's really nothing to be scared or worried about,' Orion tried to calm his nerves by taking slow and steady breaths while walking towards the courtyard.

"Your Highness."

Upon arriving at the courtyard, Orion and Elena noticed a Coachman in front of them bowing before them and inviting them to walk towards a carriage.

The carriage had four huge dark Pegasuses in front of it.

Seeing the Pegasuses, Orion's eyes widened in surprise.

Never would he have imagined himself seeing a real-life Pegasus before, but now there were four of them in front of him.

Even with the aid of his [Omnivision] skill, Orion had little to no experience of what the outside world looked like.

He had never stepped out of the castle before and his [Omnivision] skill had a limited range, which meant that Orion couldn't see anything beyond the castle.

However, because he had never really bothered to check out the castle thoroughly, he had never seen the Pegasus before.

With that out of the way, Orion and Elena walked into the carriage and once they were seated, the Coachman hurried to his own seat as well.

In front of him were the four dark Pegasus, wearing a harness encrusted with gemstones.

The Pegasus slowly unfolded their wings, before gliding into the skies with the carriage attached to them.

As the carriage left the ground and the castle, Orion decided to take a look at the castle behind him.

As expected, the castle he was living in was really big.

'It looks even bigger than I was expecting,' he thought to himself, amazed by how the elves were able to build such a huge and magnificent castle within the kingdom.

'However, this wasn't the weirdest part about the castle.'

'The weirdest part about the castle was where the castle was currently located.'

In the elven kingdom, the castle was located at the top of the largest tree. It was nestled on the branches of the tree with the trunk of the tree serving as a strong foundation of the castle.

The branches were arranged in a way that made the tree trunk look like a strong, sturdy nest for the castle.

The castle walls, towers, and roofs were all integrated into the tree's branches, making it look like a natural part of the tree itself.

Of course, the castle also looked like a normal medieval-type castle, which meant that it had a throne room, the royal family's private chambers, a Grand hall for feasts and celebrations, the Council chambers, the gardens, kitchens, dining areas and so much more.

Since the tree was the largest in the kingdom, it made the castle feel like it was overlooking the rest of the elves in the kingdom.

'Amazing.'

'I never knew the castle was so high up from the ground.'

'I'm so glad to be living in this world.'

Orion continued to admire the castle with a smile on his face while looking at everything around him as the royal chariot glided through the sky with the help of the Pegasuses.
