”One of my enemies, huh?” Leo muttered silently as he looked at the brown-haired butler.
As far as he was concerned, he had never had any other enemies aside from the Gods of the Celestial World. Even Captain Timon and his little brother Timor were also both considered as related to the Gods of the Celestial World since they are following the commands of a member of the Naughty Elves organization.
In the past when he was still so active as an assassin, all of his enemies had also already died on his hand. So, it's highly impossible for this brown-haired butler to actually be related to them. Not to mention, his enemies were all Humans, none of them were Elves.
Speaking about Elves, since this brown-haired butler is also an Elf, then there is a very high chance for him to be related to the Naughty Elves organization. That is if he turns out to really be his enemy in the present.
Although Leo's voice was silent, both Elvis and Brother Elmont close to his side were still able to hear it.
”What do you mean?” Elvis quickly asked Leo.
While on the other hand, Brother Elmont simply perked his ears to listen closely.
Since both of them were able to hear it, Leo thoughts that there is no use to hiding it anymore. Anyways, he was also planning something that would need both Elvis and one of Uncle Elfin's family's cooperation, so there is no problem telling Elvis and Brother Elmont about what he's planning to do.
”See that brown-haired butler over there,” Leo pointed at the brown-haired butler that is on his way to pour the drinks for Queen Tina.
Both Elvis and Brother Elmont immediately turned to look at that brown-haired butler.
Leo continued, ”Elvis, I want you to investigate that brown-haired butler. And Brother Elmont, a small request from me, is it alright for you to provide the information of that brown-haired butler to Elvis?”
”Is there something wrong with that brown-haired butler?” Brother Elmont can't help asking.
”Yes, I'm suspecting that he's related to the Naughty Elves organization,” Leo silently replied.
”What?!” Brother Elmont immediately exclaimed in surprise after hearing Leo's answer.
After that, everyone in the dining room immediately turned to look at Brother Elmont.
”Sorry, I was just surprised at what Brother Leo had just said,” Brother Elmont quickly said apologetically to everyone. After saying that, he then turned to look at Leo as he pretended to asked, ”So it is really true that there is a Galaxy Mage in the Mischievous Lion Guild?”
Hearing that question, everyone's attention immediately turned to look at Leo.
Leo immediately caught on to what Brother Elmont was doing, so he quickly replied, ”Yes, his name is Ethan,”
”Ethan, ha? Leo, if it's okay to ask, where did you and this person named Ethan meet?” Uncle Elfin asked before he put a steak to hit the mouth.
”He's the son of one of my father's friends,” Leo replied, though he didn't dare reveal that Ethan is one of the sons of Erskine Silver. The butler is still in the room, so it wouldn't be wise to do that.
”Hmmm,” Uncle Elfin nodded his head as he didn't bother continuing the topic anymore. From Leo's reply alone, he could already understand that he clearly doesn't want him to know about Ethan. It's alright though since everyone has a secret or two that they don't want others to know about. In fact, in spite of how close he is treating Leo right now, there are still certain things about the Evergreen royal family that he will certainly not let him know about as well unless of course, it's necessary for him to know, like for example; about his father, Red Heart.
Brother Elfin and Brother Elmore also understood this point, so they turned to their food and began eating. They would also talk with each other about some topic related to the Emerald Tree Kingdom from time to time.
Unbeknownst to everyone though, one of the princesses, specifically Princess Tifa immediately became interested in Ethan after hearing this. While on the other hand, Princess Tila became even more interested in Leo as she realized that only someone really capable would be able to successfully invite a Galaxy Mage to join their Guild, especially considering that Leo is merely a 1 Star Mage.
As for Aunt Tina, she busied herself again grabbing different dishes and putting it on her husband's plate. What a meticulously and sweet wife...
The maids and butlers continued serving food and beverages to everyone as they didn't bothered with Leo anymore, especially that brown-haired butler who Leo, Elvis, and Brother Elmont had secretly noticed was paying the most attention to Leo.
”Let's continue talking later,” Leo said to Brother Elmont.
Hearing Leo's words, Brother Elmont said, ”Sorry...”
”It's okay. I was also not planning on talking about it while we are eating, see,” Leo said as he pointed towards the brown-haired butler again who is now pouring drinks to Nightingale, specifically only two seats away from them. If they really choose to continue with the conversation, then they would definitely risk revealing what they are planning to do. He suggested, ”Let's go somewhere else later and continue talking about it,”
Both Elvis and Brother Elmont nodded their heads in understanding.
Everyone continued eating their lunch while at the same time talking about casual topics from time to time. Mostly the topics were about the Emerald Event.
Soon, everyone finally finished eating their lunch. Afterwards, everyone quickly decided to leave, explaining that they still have something else to do.
”Leo, I still have something important to do, so I'll be leaving you with my seventh son, Elmont,” Uncle Elfin said before bidding farewell to Leo.
In the next moment, Princess Tifa and Princess Tila unexpectedly walked towards Leo as they then asked, ”Leo, can we take Angel with us?”
Hearing that question, Leo quickly turned to look for Angel to ask for an answer.
