章節 26: 26. Royal Banquet [3]:- Alone With Mia.

"Huh? Mia? What's wrong?" Orion asked as he walked along with Mia out of the hall.

'We are leaving this place,' She replied telepathically.

'But? Why?' Orion replied back the same way as well.

'To get some fresh air outside for master,'

'Huh? But I don't need...'

Mia stopped walking and suddenly turned to Orion to speak. 'Yes, you do. I know master wasn't feeling well while we were eating, and I don't like it if Master lies to me about things like this,'

Mia didn't open her mouth to speak to him but her words reverberated within his mind louder than anything he had ever heard before, and he could feel the emotions Mia felt when she said those words.

This allowed him to recall some of the details of his newly acquired skill [Telepathy] which allowed him to feel some of Mia's emotions as well whenever she talked telepathically to her.

This skill was limited to only Mia because she was his spirit guardian, so he knew how hurt she was to see him the way he was in the hall.

'I'm sorry Mia, I won't do that ever again,' Orion apologized in her mind with an apologetic look on his face before patting her head slowly.

"Good, now follow me," Mia replied with a neutral look on her face before holding Orion's hand as she walked with him along the corridor.

Mia was happy with his words but because she didn't want Orion to know that she had quickly forgiven him, she tried to act annoyed a bit longer for him to see how upset she was.

However, her tails failed to mask her true feelings towards her beloved master's words because as she walked, her tails wagged faster.

She continued to walk excitedly while holding Orion's hand.

A few maids and knights in the hallway noticed the two of them walking alone, so they tried to ask if they would need anything but Mia glared at every one of them, indicating that she didn't want to be disturbed and that she wanted no one to disturb her time alone with her master.

Seeing how Mia was genuinely concerned about him made Orion to instinctively smile.

He felt happy to have someone who cared a lot about him just as how his mother and aunt felt towards him.

The only person he had ever felt loved and cherished from was his grandfather who raised him.

Aside from his grandfather, Orion was never close to anyone else, but he couldn't deny the fact that it felt nice to be cherished by Mia, Evelyn and Elena in this world and this made Orion even more eager to live a peaceful and tranquil life with his mother and Aunt.

Of course, Mia had automatically been added to the few people he cared a lot about in this world as well.

After a few minutes of walking along the corridor, they finally arrived at the courtyard and Mia guided Orion towards the bench for them to have a seat.

She sat beside Orion and patted her lap while looking at Orion.

Orion's eyes widened in disbelief when he understood what she wanted him to do.

"You want me to...?"

"Yes master,...mama always does this for me as well whenever I was sick,"

"Mama? You have a mother?"

"Yes, I do," Mia nodded her head and this allowed Orion to realize that he actually knew little to nothing about Mia and where she came from.

Mia patted her thighs again, expecting him to rest his head on her lap and Orion nodded his head in understanding before resting his head on her lap.

He could see she really wanted to do what was in her mind but he didn't want to make her feel sad so he decided to go along with what she wants.

Mia's hands began to glow as she slowly stroke Orion's head, relieving him of the discomfort he felt on his head and refilling him with a sense of energy while Mia hummed a beautiful song she was used to hearing her mother singing for her.

However, his body also felt really relaxed and he could feel himself slowly drifting off to sleep by Mia's wonderful healing technique.

Orion found it strange to be in such a position because ever since they left the sacred grove, he had been seeing Mia as his little sister but right now it felt as though their roles had been reversed.

'But this doesn't seem too bad,'

'In fact, it feels really good to be like this once in a while,'

'I could get used to this as well,' Orion uttered in his thoughts as he was feeling even more sleepy by the second, but then he suddenly recalled what he and Mia were discussing about before he rested his head on her lap.

"Won't your mother be worried about you spending a lot of time in this realm?"

"She might, but I think mama will be more than happy to hear that I was spending time with you master,"

"Really?"

"Yes,"

"I'm sorry Mia. I shouldn't have asked you to come with me if I knew you had a mother back home in the spirit realm,"

Mia smiled, seeing how considerate her master was of her. She continued to gently stroke Orion's head before replying. "It's fine master. I'm glad you asked me to come,"

"Really?"

"Yes, master. I really enjoyed my time with you. Thank you for bringing me here with you,"

"You're welcome," Orion replied while feeling his eyes becoming heavy for him to remain awake.

"Sleep tight master," Mia said and Orion drifted off to sleep.

The two remained like that for about two hours but Evelyn had her eyes watching what they were doing while she remained in the hall with Elena and the other nobles.

She was able to see from such a long distance due to her [Omnivision] skill which was similar to that of Orion but the range was a lot longer than that of his.

A couple of maids had also informed Evelyn about her baby's whereabouts in case the queen was worried about where her baby was but Evelyn didn't need them to tell her this because of her Omnivision skill, but because she didn't want to discourage them from doing their job, she didn't say anything to them and she didn't ask them to stop.

Evelyn grabbed her glass cup and drank from it when she suddenly noticed one of the nobles in the hall, looking towards her direction while raising his hand up to request permission to speak.

章節 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.
