Night approaches fast for everyone who had received an invitation to attend the ball in the Evergreen royal family's castle.
As the bright full moon hung high up in the sky and shone its bright light upon the territory of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, Leo and all of the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild were finally gathered together at the entrance of the Smiling Lion Village where tens of carriages from the Evergreen royal family were waiting for them.
At this moment, they are all wearing their Magic garments that have been turned into dashing suits and beautiful dresses that perfectly fit the theme of the ball, specifically Fiery Inferno.
Along the way to the Evergreen royal family's castle, Leo can see from the outside of the carriage that it wasn't actually only the ball in the Evergreen royal family's castle that was having the theme of the 'Fiery Inferno', but the entire Emerald City, and probably the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom as well.
All the buildings were designed using red decorations, people were wearing red-colored clothes, and many more else.
Within his sight, he also noticed many people carrying various red-colored flying lanterns in different sizes, shapes, and forms on their hands as they walked towards the same direction as them.
Curious to know the reason why, Leo quickly asked the coachman of their carriage who was also a soldier of the Evergreen royal family, ”Are all of these people also going to the Evergreen royal family's castle?”
Hearing Leo's question, the soldier shook his head before replying, ”They are indeed going towards the same direction as us, but their main destination is the lake around the castle,”
”The lake?” Leo muttered silently while turning his head to look again at those lanterns on everyone's hands. He thought in realization, ”All of these people are probably going to release their flying lanterns around the lake for safety purposes. After all, the Emerald City is practically surrounded by the Emerald Forest. With the sheer amount of these flying lanterns that they would be released to the sky alone, once they fall to the ground, a fire would definitely consume many trees that would eventually lead to a disastrous forest fire,”
”Let me guess, you are thinking that those lanterns would cause a forest fire?” Cassandra asked teasingly.
”Oh, it seems like I would have to change some things about me in order to prevent any of you from understanding me,” Leo replied with a mischievous smile on his face.
”Heh, no matter how much you change yourself since you have already called us your wives, it is part of our responsibility to understand everything about you,” Elizabeth proclaimed.
”What wives?” Angel objected, she continued, ”Only until when he finally makes us completely his would we be considered as his wives,”
”I totally agree,” Veronica nodded in agreement.
”Here we go again,” Leo can't help rolling his eyes. Just how many times would they have to repeat this kind of conversation? He already heard more than enough to understand clearly what they wanted, ”Just be patient and wait for a bit, okay? We will definitely be getting there soon,”
”Yeah, yeah, yeah, we understand that you can't afford any distractions at this point of time,” Ash said before crossing her arms together in annoyance.
Charlotte pouted her lips and said, ”I guess that all of us are nothing but merely distraction and trouble for you, right?”
Shaking his head helplessly, Leo said, ”I will try to finish everything here as soon as possible for all of you, would that be enough?”
Instantly, the atmosphere of the carriage brighten up as Cassandra and the others asked in unison, ”Really?!”
”Tell me, were you all actually just aiming to make me do this?” Leo can't help but ask.
Hearing Leo's question, the atmosphere of the carriage instantly turned dead quiet.
”Not gonna answer, ha?” Leo's lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile as he said, ”Considering that the ball is being hosted by the Evergreen royal family, it should just be right if I have my first dance with either Princess Tifa or Princess Tila, right? What do all of my wives think about with my plan? As long as I do this, there's no doubt that we will have an even closer relationship with the Evergreen royal family, we might even become as close as a family,”
”Hey, coachman, I know that you are listening,” Leo turned to look at the innocent coachman who was driving their carriage outside, making the latter gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He asked, ”If I have my first dance with either Princess Tifa or Princess Tila, would it make the Mischievous Lion Guild's relationship with the Evergreen royal family much more closer?”
Just now, using his unique capability to see the future, Leo took a short glimpse at what the coachman would be doing after bringing them to the Evergreen royal family's castle. And as he expected, the latter went to meet with Princess Tila and reported his findings about him to her.
