Chapter 551: Discovering secret members of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal familys castle part 1 (1/2)
Leo coughed as he said, ”That's really a funny joke, sister Tifa,”
Sometimes, it is much better to just treat a confession as a joke. In such a way, he wouldn't cause any trouble to himself from Angel and at the same time not hurt sister Tila's feelings for him. Even if in the end the latter still gets hurt with him treating her confession as a joke, at least it wouldn't be that bad compared to bluntly rejecting her.
If it was any other ordinary person, he would have definitely chosen to bluntly reject them, but since sister Tila is one of the princesses of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, doing so might just cause him to get into trouble.
He really doesn't want to attract trouble from one of the princesses of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. At the same time, he also doesn't want to cause any trouble to himself from Angel.
That's why this is the only way he could do and hope that it would work out...
”That wasn't a-” Tifa wanted to say something, but her mouth was immediately covered by Tila's hand as she said, ”That was a joke, hahahaha!”
But deep inside, Tila was a bit hurt deep inside by Leo's words. But she can't do anything about it. She was also a woman, so she quickly understood what Angel was feeling beside her right now after hearing her older sister Tifa confessing her feelings to Leo. The majority of women would definitely dislike it hearing that another woman likes their man, and she's not an exception to that as well. The only difference in her case right now is that she's the one who receives that dislike.
”Oh, I didn't expect that little brother Leo here is actually the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild,” Brother Elmore quickly interrupted to change the topic. He wasn't so stupid to not see what is going on. So, rather than the conversation getting awkward, it's much better to divert it to another topic.
”Oh, so he's actually the Guild Leader of that Guild I always hear about. I didn't expect that brother Leo and that Guild Leader Loki is the same exact person,” Brother Elfin said in astonishment. He was also trying to help his second brother Elmore to change the topic.
Unlike the two of them though, Elmont was really shocked about Leo's real identity.
”What?!” Elmont exclaimed. He turned to look at Leo by his side as he continued, ”You're really that Guild Leader Loki?”
”The one and only,” Leo replied while inwardly sighing in relief. Fortunately, brother Elmont's reaction completely broke that awkward ice.
It wasn't only Leo who was feeling relief, everyone else except for Sister Tifa and Angel was also feeling the same way. If such awkwardness was to continue, then it would have seriously leave them all in silence while waiting for their lunch to finally be served. Such a situation is really not something that they want to happen.
”Ummm,” Brother Elmont said while fidgeting his hands, showing how he was a bit hesitant about what he wanted to say. But after a few seconds, he braved himself as he asked, ”Is it alright if I visit the base of the Mischievous Lion Guild?”
”You want to visit the Smiling Lion Village?” Leo asked in doubt.
”Yes,” Brother Elmont nodded, he frowned a bit as he asked, ”Is it because only members of the Mischievous Lion Guild are allowed to visit the Smiling Lion Village?”
”It's okay though, I fully understand that some Guilds doesn't want outsiders to-”
”No, brother Elmont,” Leo quickly shook his head, ”It would be an honor for one of the princes of the Emerald Tree Kingdom to visit the Smiling Lion Village,”
Brother Elmont's eyes immediately shone as he asked, ”So, I'm allowed to visit?”
”Yes,” Leo immediately agreed in fear that Brother Elmont might immediately get depressed again. But he still can't help but asked, ”But there's really nothing special that the Mischievous Lion Guild can show to you. Honestly, the Evergreen royal family is much better than the Mischievous Lion Guild,”
”I know about that, but it's just that... I want to really see how the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild trains,” Brother Elmont explained the reason why he wanted to visit.
It wasn't really that hard for Leo to guess why brother Elmont wanted to do such a thing. Looking at his appearance right now, this prince is obviously someone who really likes to train to become a lot more stronger. The reason why he was a bit dirty right now should most likely be because he had just finished training and had completely forgotten to clean himself before coming to the dining room.
”You definitely don't know this, Leo. My seventh son Elmont here is actually a battle fanatic. From the moment he wakes up until the evening, he does nothing else aside from training and fighting. You could even say that the training grounds and the arena is his second home, hahahaha!” Uncle Elfin said with a laugh.
”Let me tell you this, brother Leo. One time, my little brother Elmont here invited someone to fight, which that person naturally accepted. But during the fight, because of how strong he is, he completely suppressed his opponent to the point that the latter wasn't able to fight back to him. What's really hilarious though, every time he hits his opponent with his Magic spell, he would actually apologize, hahahaha!” Brother Elfin said while laughing loudly.
