41. System Third Stage.
"Your logic doesn't make any sense, your Majesty,"
"Who cares, at least it makes sense to me," Ariel huffed and cocked her head to the side.
Karen released a sigh before straightening her glasses again. "You really need to get yourself a partner, you're not growing any younger. Even the Elf Queen has a child of her own now and he's ten years old already,"
"What? Evelyn has a baby?"
"Yes,"
"That elf, how could she keep this from me, was this why she didn't come to see me for ten years?"
Before Evelyn had Orion, Evelyn always visited Ariel in her castle with Elena, the queen of the dead and the phantom empress.
They would eat, drink tea and do whatever seemed like fun to them but because, the war had recently ended at the time, and the queen of the dead and the phantom empress were always busy with their kingdom related issues, Evelyn decided that everyone should focus on taking care of their own kingdom.
"How could Evelyn lie to me. I thought we agreed not to get married until after a thousand years,"
"I do not think the Elf Queen has a husband," Karen said, dragging Ariel's attention back to her.
"Oh, so her child was born from magic?"
"Yes, and he'll be contesting in the noble elf tournament that starts tomorrow,"
"Interesting," Ariel said with a huge smile on her face. "That's it, I'm heading over to the elf kingdom and I'll play with her breasts as much as I can until she tells me why she betrayed the promise we made,"
Karen sighed once again. "You just want to use this as an excuse to leave the kingdom, don't you,"

"Hehe.... maybe,"
"Your grandfather won't like this,"
"Who says he has to know,"
"But the male candidates are on their way here to the castle,"
"Then I guess we should pay them a visit before heading over to the elf kingdom,"
"Why do I feel like I won't like what you're about to do,"
"Hehehe----- Come on Karen, when have I ever done something you wouldn't like?"
"Always,"
"Now, come on, don't be a-stick-in-the-mud. Try to have some fun once in a while. You're the daughter of the Kraken noble family, you need to be more adventurous. You and I know that deep down your race likes to cause pain and suffering to those you don't like, and right now, your Queen and best friend doesn't like a certain group of sea men heading this way, shouldn't my servant feel the same way as well?"
Hearing Ariel's words, a sudden rush of blood began to flow through Karen's veins and her eyes glowed in a crimson hue.
She managed to calm down before saying. "Fine, but your Majesty must promise that we won't kill them,"
"Ufufufu--- no promises," Ariel swiftly dragged Karen towards her bathroom to have a bath together and the two began to devise a plan on how to take care of a couple of dick heads who thought they were worthy to call themselves the husbands of 'The Goddess Of The Sea'.

The next day, Orion could be seen standing in front of a mirror.
He was dressed up and ready to leave the castle but he also noticed his system had reached the completion of its upgrade.
[Upgrade complete,]
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new stage of The Elf System.]
[The Third Stage of the Elf System is now activated.]
[Unlocking The Youngling Elf System.]
[This stage of the system allows the host to develop characteristics like confidence and resilience,]
[Although, the host has developed from a young sprout, who was initially curious about the miniscule of things surrounding him, however, the details of the host current attributes remains the same as that of the Sprout Elf System,]
Orion read through the details displayed in front of him by the system. The moment he was done reading it, the words on the screen vanished and a new string of words appeared before him.
[Missions in the youngling elf system are divided into three tiers,]
[Unlike the Baby Elf System and the Sprout Elf System, The Youngling Elf System tier one mission will only have a quest for the host to complete,]
'Uh?'
[The host will have only one mission to complete,]
'Just one mission?'
'Will it be related to the tournament?'
[Would you like to check it out?]
'Yes,' Orion replied and his new mission was displayed in front of him.
[Mission:- Have Fun,]
[The noble elf tournament is a prestigious tournament, with hundreds and thousands of elves eager to participate in, however, the host is required to simply have fun when contesting against others. It doesn't matter if you win or not. Also, your mother and aunt won't chastise you for not winning, remember you're still only a ten year old elf. Appropriate rewards will be given to the host after the system has evaluated your performance during the entirety of the tournament,]
'Hmm, it seems even the system isn't forcing me to win the tournament,'
'I know Mama and Auntie want me to have fun but now, it seems the system wants me to do the same,'
'Anyway, I wasn't expecting to be given a single mission,'
'Does this mean the rewards will be far better than any other rewards the system had given me before?'
'Well, I hope so,'
'One can never have enough power and it will be exciting to see what skill the system will reward me with,'
Orion straightened his clothing while looking at his reflection in the mirror.
The moment he was done with this, Orion noticed Evelyn walking into her bedroom.
"Hello handsome,"
"Hi Mama,"
"Are you ready?"
"Yes,"
"Good,"
Evelyn took a long look at her gorgeous little baby one more time to see if he was dressed properly.
Orion also used this opportunity to see if he could finally view his mother's details with his appraisal skill, but it seems he was unable to do this with the current stage of the system.
'I guess this means I'll only be able to use the appraisal skill in the final stage of the system,'
Although, he was a bit disappointed, Orion decided to focus on more important things.
After all, the tournament begins today and he had to be in the best possible state of mind to compete with other contestants.
With that out of the way, Orion and Evelyn walked out of the bedroom.
Evelyn held Orion's hand and the both of them arrived in the courtyard to see the Coachman along with the butlers and maids of the castle, bowing their heads and bending their knees.
