At this moment, on the top of the tower where Elvis had taken Leo to see the entire view of all the bridges around the Evergreen royal family's castle, Leo and Angel were also having dinner with each other.

However, unlike Elmont's date with Selina, Leo had personally prepared everything, from the table to the decorations, and most importantly, the food for Angel. In such a way, although it was very simple, it was at least more romantic compared to Elmont's.

”Were you surprised?” Leo asked.

”Surprised?” Angel shook her head, as she explained, ”I was already expecting this when you suddenly decided to stay in the kitchen yourself. Why else would you do that if not to prepare this for me, right?”

”Well, you're right, but only by half,” Leo said.

”Why so?” Angel can't help immediately becoming curious.

”I decided to stay in the kitchen to investigate Elmont,” Leo replied.

”Did you notice something suspicious about him? Is he perhaps a secret member of the Naughty Elves organization in the Evergreen royal family's castle?” Angel asked.

Leo shook his head as he said, ”No, it was something else. Something that could benefit the Mischievous Lion Guild,”

Hearing Leo's words, Angel immediately understood what he wanted to do, ”So, you are planning to recruit Elmont to join the Mischievous Lion Guild?”

”Exactly, but there's just one main problem,” Leo said before heaving a heavy sigh and continuing, ”I don't know if Elmont would be easy to recruit,”

”Indeed,” Angel nodded her head in understanding.

Unlike Elvis and Eilajah, Elmont is the seventh son of Uncle Elfin, the King of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. And although his birth is at a huge disadvantage compared to his other older brothers when it comes to fighting for the throne of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, but he's still a prince nonetheless.

And as a prince, Elmont could get a lot of things that he wanted just by saying the word. In fact, even if he doesn't say the word, there would still be a lot of people that would give him rare and helpful Magical resources or Magic items to curry favor from him.

Because of that, whatever the Mischievous Lion Guild could give would not be that much attractive for Elmont.

Aside from that, the authority that the Mischievous Lion Guild could give to Elmont is also nothing compared to what he could get just by simply staying in the Emerald Tree Kingdom. Even being the seventh prince, specifically the last of all the princes in the Evergreen royal family, he could still command a certain level of authority to the men of the Evergreen royal family.

That authority alone is already many folds higher, or rather more powerful, compared to the entire Mischievous Lion Guild.

What other offer could the Mischievous Lion Guild use to recruit Elmont? If ordinary means wouldn't work, then he could only choose to use the ace card of the Mischievous Lion Guild, specifically the Element Orbs.

As the holder of the unique capability of Gluttony, the Element Orb is a very helpful item for Elmont. Even though the Element Orb is not something to be eaten, it is still something that the unique capability of Gluttony would eat as it is a special Magical resource. And this Element Orb not only could provide Elmont a high-quality source of Mana that can easily boost the speed of his cultivation, but it could also solve the problem of overconsumption of Mana, because, unlike normal Magical resources, the Element Orbs could be created specifically for Elmont's own need.

However, doing so might just cause the Mischievous Lion Guild some trouble if ever it fails.

It might even cause them a lot of danger to befall them if ever Elmont becomes greedy and wanted to forcefully get the Element Orbs.

Even though Elmont has a green-colored String of Fate, it isn't really that difficult to turn that into black. And the moment the color of the String of Fate changed, it would be very difficult to make it return back to what it used to be again.

So, he really needs to ponder hard if he wants the Mischievous Lion Guild to face such kind of risk.

”Hopefully, I can recruit him during his visit in the Smiling Lion Village,” Leo said.

”I have great confidence in you,” Angel smiled in encouragement. Although she doesn't really know for sure why exactly Leo wanted to recruit Elmont yet, but for him to personally recruit someone, it could only mean that Elmont has the same value as Elvis and Eilajah.

”Anyways, enough with this topic,” Leo said. With a smile on his face, he raised his glass of wine and asked, ”My lady, did you liked what I have prepared for you?”

With a giggle, Angel replied, ”Of course, I really appreciate all of these things that you have done. Although I already expected this, hahaha,”

”As long as you are happy, that's the only thing that matters for me,” Leo said.

Doing something like this for his woman was something that he could hardly do for them. Not because he's like Elmont, who's all shy and has only a little bit of courage to do something like this, but rather because of his seriously busy schedule.

He basically spends most of his time developing the Mischievous Lion Guild and making it a lot stronger.

And whenever he wants to spend his time with them, it would only be in-between his busy schedule. In fact, if only Uncle Elfin didn't happen to invite him to come to the Evergreen royal family's castle, this date with Angel would have seriously not happened today.

Only Fate knows when would be the time where he could spend his time like this again.
