The conversation only ended when noon arrives and everyone started feeling hungry. They have already been talking for a few hours now with only tea to satisfy their dry throat.
Actually, they could have ordered the maids working in the Evergreen royal family\'s castle to bring them some snacks. But as they became completely engrossed in the conversation, they all have forgotten about that. Even Uncle Elfin, who has all the power to order the maids to bring them snacks, forgot as well.
Though, even if one of them had indeed remembered that the question would be who would look for the maids? After all, due to the order of Uncle Elfin, it\'s only them who is in the garden.
Everyone who was supposedly assigned to be here in the garden was not allowed to come because Uncle Elfin doesn\'t want anyone to know that Leo and his Mischievous Lion Guild would also be participating in their secret operation in the upcoming Emerald Elven Battle Competition.
People would only come to know about this, specifically only those that are in-charged of monitoring the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, once the event finally begins. At that time, even if there is indeed a secret member of the Naughty Elves organization in one of the people that will monitor the Elven Battle Competition, it would be extremely difficult for them to try and prevent their comrades from dying. The least they could do would only be to report their findings, which would be too late already as they can\'t back out in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition anymore. Though it is still possible for them to choose to specifically target Leo and his team, but the question would be; can they?
With the help of the Evergreen royal family, the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization would have a lot of trouble trying to sabotage the plan of the Evergreen royal family. The best they could do would be to avoid them and try to survive until the final game, which honestly speaking, would be another a lot of trouble to solve.
Aside from that, they are also not that shameless enough to dare to order Uncle Elfin, the King of the Emerald Tree Kingdom himself, to call out some maids.
"Since everyone is now feeling hungry, then how about you all join us in the dining room for lunch?" Uncle Elfin invited Leo and the others.
Hearing Uncle Elfin\'s invitation, Leo looked at the others first, and after seeing their approval, he turned to look at his Uncle Elfin and nodded his head as he said, "We will gratefully accept your invitation, Uncle Elfin,"
Anyways, he had already started calling King Elfin the Fourth as Uncle Elfin, so eating lunch in the Evergreen royal family\'s castle is no longer something to be embarrassed about.
They could also use this opportunity to get to know Uncle Elfin\'s family and to know more about the people of the Evergreen royal family.
"Come," Uncle Elfin smiled before standing up from his chair as he then began leading everyone to the dining room of the castle.
Just like what everyone had thought about the Evergreen royal family\'s castle being huge from the moment they saw it, it took them close to ten minutes before finally arriving at the dining room.
Seriously, this castle is so huge. How exactly are the people of the Evergreen royal family using all of its space?
Unfortunately, this question was something that can only be known by them. Maybe in the future, Leo would also be able to know about this, just maybe...
Arriving in the dining room, Leo and the others immediately saw three beautiful young women and three handsome male young adults sitting opposite from each other around a long dining table located right at the very center.
As soon as Leo and the others stepped inside, they all turned their attention to look at them with gazes sizing them up from head to toe.
"Everyone, this is the son of my friend and his wife and men," Uncle Elfin immediately introduced Leo and the others before sitting on his chair. He soon motioned his hand to let them sit on the empty seat around the dining table, "Our table is mostly empty, so you can freely choose wherever you want to sit,"
Leo and the others nodded their heads as they then began choosing where to seat.
Leo, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale sat on the chairs before the chair of one of the handsome young adults, while Angel chooses to sit before the chair of one of the beautiful young woman. In this way, they wouldn\'t destroy the obvious sitting arrangements of everyone.
"Leo, this is my wife, Tina. You can call her, Aunt Tina," Uncle Elfin naturally introduced first his wife.
"Nice to meet you, Aunt Tina. You look lovely and beautiful," Leo immediately greeted while also not forgetting to compliment in order to get a good impression from her.
"Nice to meet you too, Leo. You look dashing and handsome as well," Aunt Tina returned the greeting and compliment with a smile on her face.
Uncle Elfin smile in approval to Leo. He then pointed at the three handsome young adults as he introduced, "These three are all my sons. My older son, my second son, and my seventh son. The four others, my third son, fourth son, fifth son, and sixth son has decided to leave the Emerald Tree Kingdom in order to gain more experience and to grow more powerful,"
"My older son, Elfin the Fifth. You can call him, brother Elfin. My second son, Elmore. You can call him, brother Elmore. And last but not the least, my seventh son, Elmont. You can call him, brother Elmont,"
"Nice to meet you, Leo," Brother Elfin, who has an almost similar look to his father, Uncle Elfin, greeted enthusiastically.
"Greetings, little brother Leo," Brother Elmore, who is wearing eyeglasses and has a really neat and clean look, greeted in a somewhat reserved manner.
"Hi... Leo," Brother Elmont, whose hair and clothes is a bit of a mess with a few stains of dust and dirt around, greeted shyly.
"Nice meeting you too, brother Elfin, brother Elmore, and brother Elmont," Leo greeted back.
It could be easily seen just from their introduction alone that each of them has a different characteristics of treating people.
Brother Elfin is like the two brothers, Ethan and Edward, who will immediately treat a person in the most friendly way they could even though it\'s only their first time meeting.
Brother Elmore is like Leo, who will not immediately let down his guard as long as he hasn\'t yet trusted the person. He\'s obviously also a clean freak just by basing on his appearance and attire alone.
And as for Brother Elmont, he\'s the shy type. And just like every shy person, their expression to someone is a bit difficult to perceive. One would not be able to help but think that are they shy in a friendly way? Or are they shy in an unfriendly way? Nevertheless, at least in his case right now, it should be the former.
No one would immediately treat someone in an unfriendly way just in the first meeting alone, especially if the one being introduced was the son of their father\'s friend. Additionally, with them being educated in the royalty way, they would naturally first show courtesy and friendliness to someone they just meet, not instantly show their negative side and cause a bad first impression. Only later on when they slowly got to know more about the person would their opinion start to change, which at the same time changing their way of treating them.
He obviously understood this as he was educated in a noble way back then when he was still young.
Of course, the way the nobles and royalty educate their children when they are still young are obviously different, but there are still a lot of things that are similar, thus one can still use it when dealing with one of the two.
After introducing his sons, Uncle Elfin then introduced his two daughters, "And these two are my daughters, my second daughter, and my third daughter. As for my first daughter, she\'s been married off to one of the princes of the Moon Werewolf Kingdom,"
"My second daughter, Tifa. You can call her, sister Tifa. And my third daughter, Tila. You can call her, sister Tila,"
Tifa simply scoffed in greeting, while Tila greeted with a smile on her face, "Don\'t mind my older sister, she\'s always been like that. But once you get close to her and know her more, she would treat you friendly and kindly. By the way, nice meeting you, Leo, or was it Guild Leader Loki?"
"Oh, I didn\'t expect sister Tila to actually know about me," Leo said calmly. If it was before, he would definitely treat Tila warily, just like how he had treated his Uncle Elfin just a few hours ago. But as he was already treated as someone close to the Evergreen royal family now, he decided to just let it off for once. He\'d just worry about it if they really don\'t mean good to him or the likes.
"Of course, I have always been hearing news about the newly rising in power, the Mischievous Lion Guild," Tila explained.
At the side, Tifa can\'t help rolling her eyes before saying, "Lies, don\'t believe her! I saw her writing a letter and sending it to you a few days ago to ask for a date. In truth, she actually likes you, that\'s why she knows about you,"
"Tifa!" Tila\'s face immediately reddens like a tomato after her older sister Tifa revealed the truth.
Tifa simply shrugged her shoulder and ignored her little sister Tila. In her mind, she thought, "You started it!"
Hearing that unexpected confession from Tila, Leo can\'t help smiling wryly as he slowly turned to look at Angel in front of him as he then saw that she\'s now staring daggers towards his direction.
He really didn\'t expect that trouble would hit him right now seemingly out of nowhere.
And besides, it\'s not really his fault that he\'s so capable to the point of receiving a confession from one of the princesses of the Evergreen royal family, right?
How troublesome....
