My Elf System

24. Royal Banquet.

Meanwhile, behind the two cute little children, were Evelyn and Elena who were smiling as they watched the two of them walking together like a cute little couple.

‘They look cute together,’ Elena spoke telepathically to Evelyn.

‘Indeed. My cute little baby is slowly growing up,’ Evelyn replied back telepathically so that Orion and Mia wouldn't overhear their conversation with their sharp hearing.

Hilda and the elders slowly rose from the ground after watching Orion and everyone else leave the sacred grove.

The elders still couldn’t believe what they had just witnessed.

Never before had an elf made a contract with a kitsune from the spirit realm.

It was extremely rare for anyone to summon a kitsune, because it had three elemental affinities and it was extremely rare to see someone having a strong affinity with three different elements.

Although it was rare to see an elf with an affinity for all the elements, if such an elf was found, it didn't mean that the elf would have more than one strong affinity.

For example, Evelyn had an affinity for all the elements, but her affinity towards wind magic was stronger than the other elements, hence why she had three sylphs as her spirit guardians.

However, a kitsune doesn’t have a strong affinity with one element, instead it had three strong elemental affinities, and the only way Orion was able to summon a kitsune was because he had something similar to Mia.

This meant that Orion also had three strong elemental affinities which were fire, lightning, and wind magic.

With this thought in mind, the respect the elders had towards Orion skyrocketed beyond what he could have ever imagined.

Not only had they witnessed another high elf with an affinity for all the elements just like Evelyn, but they had also witnessed the first elf to ever have three strong elemental affinities as well.

Starting from today, Orion had become a very important person in the eyes of the elders.

Meanwhile, the chariot which transported Orion and everyone else safely returned them back to the castle, with Orion and Mia being the first to step out of the chariot.

Mia lifted her head up to take a look at where Orion called home and she was immediately impressed.

“Woah, master, your house is really big,” Her eyes sparkled in awe as she stared at the huge castle in front of her.

“Orion smiled and held her hand before asking. “You haven’t seen anything yet, come with me, Mia, you’ve got to see this.” 

“Okay,” Mia hurriedly ran along with him as he eagerly showed her what he wanted her to see in his mother’s bedroom.

Watching the two of them running and smiling together, Evelyn smiled and giggled even more.

The maids and orc knights in the corridor also had smiles on their faces as they watched the two cute little children running along the corridor.

They had never seen children running around the castle before, so it was a beautiful sight to see, but when everyone noticed the number of tails behind the cute little girl, everyone’s eyes instantly turned into that of dread and trepidation.

Everyone had heard about the legends of how powerful and terrifying a kitsune was.

They were one of the strongest spirit guardians, and no one would ever wish to fight against them.

There had been records of how a single sneeze of a kitsune wiped out an entire race and its kingdom.

With this knowledge in mind, cold sweats began to accumulate on the foreheads of every staff in the castle.

No one would dare to annoy the prince or even make him feel uncomfortable in his own castle, they each vowed in their hearts to treat the prince with utmost respect and make him feel happy for as long as they served under him, Elena and Evelyn.

About three hours later, the royal banquet was about to begin, Orion walked out of his room with Mia by his side. He was wearing something similar to what he wore for his mana core awakening this morning, but it was a completely new set of clothes. 

Meanwhile, Mia wore a pink colored kimono with flower-patterned designs on the attire.

Evelyn and Elena walked out of the room as well and trailed behind Orion and Mia while dressed in expensive gowns.

They all arrived at the Grand Hall of the castle, where the royal banquet would be taking place.

The Grand Hall was a high-ceiling chamber filled with elf nobles from across the kingdom, with everyone feeling eager to have a look at the son of the greatest and strongest elf ever.

No one dared to miss this special occasion in the elven kingdom.

Even Orion was surprised by the number of guests that had arrived in the hall.

His Aunt had just sent word to the guests yesterday about the possibility of a banquet happening today, and to his surprise, everyone made themselves available to make sure they were able to attend Orion’s mana core awakening ceremony.

“Let’s go,” Evelyn held Orion’s hand and walked to their seats while Elena held Mia’s hand and walked behind Orion and Evelyn.

While they were walking, Orion noticed the floor he was stepping on. The floor of the Grand Hall looked as though it had been polished, allowing the light of the crystal chandelier to reflect on the floor.

At the center of the hall, there was an ice sculpture with beautiful flowers arranged around it.

Initially, the elf nobles in the room had been chatting, mingling, and laughing before the queen arrived, but when Orion and his mother stepped into the hall, everyone became silent as they watched Evelyn, Orion, Mia, and Elena walk toward their seat.

As they approached where they would be taking their seats, Orion also noticed the large banquet table which was laden with an array of delectable dishes and golden platters.

Orion and Evelyn took their seats while Elena and Mia did the same before everyone else took their seats as well.

In front of them were steaming vegetables, roasted meat, and freshly baked bread.

Seeing all these and the many other foods on the table, Mia began to swallow her saliva repeatedly.

The side of her mouth was slowly beginning to drool as well.

She was trying her best not to eat anything but it was proving extremely difficult to maintain her composure.

Mia looked towards Orion and called out to him. “Master?”
