It didn't take that long for Leo and the others to finish preparing themselves.

At this moment, they were no longer wearing armors, but are now wearing formal clothing.

Leo wore a black suit, while Angel was wearing a beautiful white dress to contrast to his black suit.

On the other hand, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale wore the orange-colored uniforms of the Mischievous Lion Guild, which is actually also the same uniform that the Mischievous Lion organization use.

For Leo, it's so troublesome to design another uniform for the Mischievous Lion Guild, so just like what he had done to the proof of identification, he decided to also copy the ready-made product of the Mischievous Lion organization. Although the production hasn't really started as of this moment yet since they only plan to start the production once they finally arrived at the Horizon Empire.

As such, the uniforms that Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale are currently wearing were the uniforms from the members of the Smiling Lion group who are staying in the Smiling Lion Village along with Lex and Virgil to collect the more necessary information to help the Mischievous Lion Guild.

Leo and the others quickly got on the horses that Eilajah had brought for them from the stable of the Magical Beasts Center.

”Let's go?” Leo turned to look at the Squad Captain by the side.

”Hayah! To the Evergreen royal family's castle!” The Squad Captain prompted his horse and began leading everyone in front.

.....

The journey from the Smiling Lion Village to the Evergreen royal family's castle took more than an hour of time for them to finally saw the castle.

It wasn't only because of the far distance between the two places, but also because of the really strict security along the way.

Soldiers stationed in the Noble Zone would stop them every now and then the closer they get to the Evergreen royal family's castle to ask for their proof of identification and the reason why they are here.

Apparently, Leo's meeting with King Elfin the Fourth was keeping under the strictest confidentiality. That's why they were still stopped and questioned by the soldiers.

Aside from a few certain people that the Evergreen royal family trusted, no one else knew the real reason for Leo's visit to the Evergreen royal family's castle.

The only information that was made known to everyone was that Leo had only come to the Evergreen royal family's castle under the request of one of the princesses to meet him. In such a way, people would only assume that one of the princesses is interested in Leo, nothing more and nothing less.

Fortunately, there was no longer any of that strict security as soon as they entered the territory of the Evergreen royal family's castle.

They arrived at a huge lake where they then immediately saw the magnificent and enormous Evergreen royal family's castle located at the very center of the lake.

To get to the Evergreen royal family's castle, they crossed a really long stone brick bridge.

Because of the beautiful view of the lake, Leo and the others didn't find crossing the long bridge annoying or irritating. They simply relaxed themselves and enjoyed the view while riding on their horses.

Along the way, Leo would sometimes tease Angel, resulting in him receiving a painful pinch on his side and a sweet smile.

Soon, they finally arrived at the edge of the long bridge. By the side, there was a small hut where the Gatekeeper stays at.

”Pull down the bridge!” The Gatekeeper exclaimed loudly after he finished checking the Squad Captain's identity.

Cronggggggggg!

A huge draw bridge slowly fell in front of everyone.

Bang!

After a minute or two, the long bridge and the Evergreen royal family's castle were finally connected by the draw bridge.

Following the lead of the Squad Captain and his men, Leo and the others finally entered the Evergreen royal family's castle.

They move around a fountain in the center as they soon stopped in front of a huge door.

In front of the huge door was a young Royal Magical Knight.

Leo and the others disembarked on their horses and looked at the young Royal Magical Knight.

”Welcome, Guild Leader Loki. I'm Luke, a Royal Magical Knight of the Evergreen royal family. Please follow me closely, I will lead you to meet with his majesty, King Elfin the Fourth,” Luke turned around as he then walked inside the castle.

Leo and the others left their horses to the Squad Captain and his men before they followed after Luke.

As they walked in the hallway of the castle, Leo and the others can't help themselves from admiring how rich the Evergreen royal family is.
