Being considerably far away from the Evergreen royal family's castle though, Leo and the others were only informed by Madam Flores' assistant, Bagley, who disguised his trip to the Smiling Lion Village by sending all of the weapons and items that they will be sponsoring to the Mischievous Lion Guild in preparation for the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, that their plan of sneaking Elvis to the castle has ended successfully with not even a slightest mishap.
Bagley has arrived in the Smiling Lion Village when Leo and the others finally returned back from their trip to Emerald City, which was pretty much evening already.
Their reason for returning in the evening was no longer only because they wanted to waste the time of the members of the Naughty Elves organization who were still secretly following behind them, but also because they have decided that since they have a lot of free time to spend already, then they might as well go on and continue exploring around the Emerald City.
They could also use this free time to relax themselves after spending nearly a month's worth of time doing a lot of stressful things for the development of the Mischievous Lion Guild, which in the end, was worth all of the efforts and time that they have invested.
Aside from that, Leo had decided to use today's free time as an opportunity to personally search for other people with a green-colored String of Fate attached to them. But unfortunately, he had ended not finding anyone else anymore no matter how hard he searched for them.
The people that he had found so far are pretty much the only people in the entire Emerald City that exist who have a green-colored String of Fate attached to them.
And as for the other cities in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, that would be left to be discovered later on when he finally visits them.
This was totally within his expectations though, as he didn't really believe that finding people with a green-colored String of Fate attached to them would be so easy. In fact, the previous times that he had found them were all merely a bunch of coincidences... Or to be more precise was destined by Fate from the very beginning.
Every single situation where Fate is involved are completely not within his control, and the moment he finally realized it to be the case, it was already too late for him to change anything about it.
An example of such a kind of situation was when he found Cassandra. At that time, he is completely aware of the trouble that she would be bringing to them, especially to him. But in spite of all of those, he still decided to bring her along with them.
Fate is an extremely difficult thing to change, and even though he is the holder of the Cube of Fate and the chosen one of the God of Fate as well, it doesn't necessarily mean that he could control Fate in any way that he wanted, let alone change it as well, even if he is already aware of what will likely happen in the future.
”Was there really no custom-made suits and dresses prepared for us in the Elves Secret organization?” Leo asked in curiosity.
”It seems like you already found out Orcborg's purpose,” Bagley smiled in response.
”Not really,” Leo shook his head, he continued, ”It was more like he is the one who revealed it to me,”
”Hmmm...” Bagley expressed his understanding. He then said, ”Orcborg and a few others from the Red Fist Guild are actually long already been a part of the alliance that was created by the Evergreen royal family. But his existence is only somewhat similar to yours. In his case, no one aside from a few chosen people knows about his identity in the alliance. In fact, most of the people that know about his identity are chosen by him personally,”
”Including the Naughty Elves organization?” Leo asked in doubt.
”Yes, including them,” Bagley nodded his head, he quickly explained, ”In all of the previous Emerald Elven Battle Competition that Orcborg's Red Fist Guild had participated in the past, their methods in order to eliminate the members of the Naughty Elves organization has always been very brute and direct. They basically don't bother with hiding their real intentions of killing them. However, they don't differentiate between enemies and allies. As long as they stumbled upon any of the other participants, those people would either be facing elimination or death,”
