491 A Womans Intuition (2/2)
Shortly after Leon big his farewell, the Supreme Elder Haldir round up the elven warriors and departed for the eastern direction.
The migration route was as follows; exiting from the Great Forest's eastern outskirts before making a beeline southeast for the Great Wall.
If not for something Leon wanted to check before he leave Elvengarde, he would have offered to accompany the Supreme Elder.
Not long after Supreme Elder Haldir left, Princess Faelyn could be seen making her way over through the busy group of elves scavenging the area for anything useful to take with them on the journey.
Princess Faelyn seemed to have something to talk about but changed her mind after seeing Leon's appearance and decided to bring it up later.
”Would you like to pay our tribe's bathhouse a visit for a wash, Prince Leon? Us elves quite pride ourselves on our hygiene.” Princess Faelyn suggested politely with a light boast.
After Leon sniffed himself and crumpled his expression slightly from the stench, he nodded, ”Alright, I think I will just take you up on that offer, Faelyn. Is there enough space in the bathhouse for this big oaf too?”
Princess Faelyn followed Leon's pointed-thumb gesture before becoming startled by the big three-tailed silver wolf soaked in dry rat blood behind him.
”Arf, arf!” Silver barked twice in response even though it did not know what Leon meant by big oaf. It only understood that it was going to get cleaned.
”This is…” Princess Faelyn began to question.
”The Skysilver Beast King.”
”Oh, the Skysilver Beast King's offspring…”
”No, the Skysilver Beast King itself.” Leon corrected Princess Faelyn's misunderstanding, causing her eyes to shortly widened in response.
However, Princess Faelyn quickly recovered and nodded, ”The public bathhouses in the tribe are built to hold hundreds of elves. There will be plenty of space.”
”I see, that's great.”
Shortly after, Leon turned to his side and asked with a smile, ”Do you want to join me, Aria?”
Seeing the hidden intention in Leon's smile, Aria smacked his chest lightly with a blush, ”We—I am still clean from the last bath. You can enjoy your bath alone. I will find something else to do.”
There were other people around. She was not bold enough to accept his invitation.
”Alright. Wait for me.” Leon smiled, not minding Aria's rejection in the slightest. He shortly returned his attention to Princess Faelyn and said, ”Please lead the way, Faelyn.”
”Of course. Right this way, Prince Leon.” Princess Faelyn gestured.
Leon nodded and called out, ”C'mon, Silver. Let's go get ourselves washed up.”
”Arf, arf!” Silver responded excitedly.
Just as Princess Faelyn was about to leave with them, Aria pulled her over and whispered, ”Is everything alright, Princess Faelyn?”
Princess Faelyn's expression changed slightly before it quickly disappeared with an impassive nod, ”Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, Miss Aria.”
Shortly after, Aria released her hand and watched them leave together. Her expression could not help but wrinkle her brows, feeling something was wrong.
Princess Faelyn did not seem like her usual self. Did something happened?
