Soon, Leo and the others arrived at a garden located at the back of the castle.

Unlike the garden of Commander Vargas at his palace, the garden of the Evergreen royal family's castle doesn't have any buildings or the likes.

There were only tables and chairs arrange in a circle and in front was the view of the beautiful garden covered with all sorts of different flowers from ordinary to Magic flowers.

Butterflies and other normal bugs, as well as birds, could be seen flying around the surrounding, making everyone feel the beauty and peacefulness of this place.

Sitting on one of the chairs was a mature and handsome-looking Elf with a somewhat big build dressed in green-colored noble clothing with a green long cape reaching to the ground on the back of his attire. He was currently sipping on some kind of tea while reading a letter on his other hand. His eyes were as calm as the surroundings as he slowly turned to look at Leo and the others who just arrived along with Luke.

As there was no one aside from this person in this garden, thus it was pretty obvious for Leo and the others to guess that this is King Elfin the Fourth, excluding Elvis of course as he had already recognized him the moment he saw the man.

”Your Majesty! Guild Leader Loki has arrived,” Luke announced before one of his knees kneeled on the ground.

”Your Majesty,” Leo, Angel, Elvis, Iasiah, and Nightingale greeted with a slight bow of their heads to show their respect.

”General Luke, you can go now,” King Elfin the Fourth motioned his hand for Luke to leave.

Leo and the others can't help feeling a bit surprised after finding out that Luke is actually a General. They really thought that he was just an ordinary Royal Magical Knight, especially considering his young appearance and the cultivation level of a 6 Star Mage.

”Yes, your Majesty,” Luke said as he then left the garden.

After seeing Luke leave, King Elfin the Fourth turned to look at Leo and the others as he motioned his hand for them to sit on the chairs in front of him.

”I must have caught Guild Leader Loki really surprised with my sudden invitation here,” King Elfin the Fourth said the moment Leo and the others sat on their chairs.

”Indeed,” Leo nodded his head, he then continued, ”None of us has really expected your sudden invitation, your Majesty,”

”Though I was also a bit surprised that Elvis would actually come as well. Nice to see you again, my old friend. How have you been?” King Elfin the Fourth smiled at Elvis.

”Still the same as before. Making maps and collecting information around the Emerald Tree Kingdom,” Elvis replied casually.

”At first, I really thought that you have left the Emerald Tree Kingdom to go somewhere else until I heard from Commander Vargas that you were only living outside the Emerald Forest and is now a member of the Mischievous Lion Guild. So, I'm really curious to know why you have decided to accept Guild Leader Loki's invitation, but rejected mine?” King Elfin the Fourth asked before sipping on his tea.

”I guess only Fate could give us the answer to that, your Majesty,” Elvis replied. Honestly, he also doesn't know the exact reason why he had decided to accept Leo's invitation. The only thing he knows is that he felt like accepting it the moment it was presented in front of him and that's why he accepted it. Even after finding out about the real purpose of the establishment of the Mischievous Lion Guild, he still didn't felt like leaving, rather he even felt like he's going closer to his goal in life.

”You have changed. In the past, you used to be so defensive whenever someone asks you a question about yourself. But now,” King Elfin the Fourth paused as he observes Elvis from head to toe. He continued, ”You can finally give an answer without feeling nervous and flustered at all. Great for you,”

”This is what happened after going through many trials and challenges in life,” Elvis shook his head to express that his change can't be helped.
