As soon as the carriage arrived, Elmont and Darvis immediately got inside, and the carriage then began moving again, this time it was towards the Smiling Lion Village.
Along the way, Leo, Elmont, General Luke, and Darvis began talking about the progress of Elmont's relationship with Selina.
”So, where did the two of you suddenly disappeared last night?” Leo curiously asked with a hidden meaning behind the tone of his voice.
”Oh, you
obviously don't know this because only a few people living in the Evergreen royal family's castle knew about this secret location-” Elmont wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted.
”A secret location? We think we know already what the two of you were doing in such a secret location,” Darvis said as he winked his eyes at Elmont and gave him a thumbs-up as if saying to him, 'Good job!'.
”Congratulations, Seventh Prince Elmont,” General Luke said in delight.
Hearing both Darvis and General Luke's words, Elmont's immediately redden as he waves one of his hand and explained, ”You guys misunderstood, we didn't do anything perverted,”
”Is that so?” Darvis really doesn't believe what Elmont was saying. He shouldered General Luke's side to ask for support.
Quickly understanding what Darvis want, General Luke said, ”That's impossible, Seventh Prince Elmont. No one would go in a secret location and not do anything, especially if it is right in the middle of the night,”
”I promise, we really didn't do anything else!” Elmont voiced out his defense, he explained, ”That place that we went to last night was a place I called as Sky Viewing Well. It is not really a well, but rather a rock formation that forms a circle, thus looking as if a well. Inside that well, we can see a much more beautiful view of the sky compared to the other parts of the lake, that's why I call it the Sky Viewing Well,”
”When I was still a kid, I used to go there to enjoy looking at the stars that seem to be within my reach. So, after we finished eating our dinner last night, I took Selina to that place to enjoy the view of the stars as well,” Elmont finished explaining.
”I have lived in the Evergreen royal family's castle for more than a decade now, but why do I still not know that such a place actually exists?” Darvis asked.
”Same,” General Luke nodded his head in agreement, he continued, ”I might not be able to claim that I have searched the entire castle, but I have visited almost all the places one could find, yet I also don't know about this so-called Sky Viewing Well,”
”Naturally, you won't be able to find the Sky Viewing Well, because that place is not located in the surface area,” Elmont said as he pointed towards where the reflection of the sun on the lake could be seen as he continued, ”It is located underwater,”
”Underwater?”
Both General Luke and Darvis turned to look at each other, the look of shock was evidently seen on their faces.
At the side, Leo was also a bit surprised as he didn't expect that the Sky Viewing Well that Elmont had mentioned was actually located underwater.
”Yes,” Elmont nodded his head, he explained, ”There is a cave located below the northbridge, which we used to believe to be a dead-end. However, due to an accident when I was still a kid where I nearly drowned in the lake, I found a mysterious hole where the water from the lake couldn't shockingly flow inside. It was a really peculiar place but yet consequently a beautiful one. And because it was my only way to save myself, I didn't hesitate to jump inside that hole,”
”There was only a single path in that hole, and coincidentally it leads towards the end of that cave under the northbridge. I created a small hole in the wall of the cave and covered it with a big stone to hide that secret place. And from then on, whenever I missed seeing the stars, I always visit that place to look at the beautiful night sky,” Elmont concluded with a smile on his face. But he then reminded everyone, ”Now that you know about that place, please keep it to yourselves and only let people important to you know about it. I don't want the secret beauty of that place to be discovered by just any random people. I hope that you can understand me,”
”No problem, Seventh Prince Elmont. I assure you that aside from my wife, I will not tell another soul about this place that you called the Sky Viewing Well,” Darvis replied in assurance.
