Chapter 67. NET {26}:- Rune Monarch 3.
"Thank you, my friend. Please allow me to be Princess Elena''s attendant for just one night."
"You conniving little Kraken, you''re trying to betray me by informing Elena about our ns, aren''t you?"
"Tsk," Karen clicked her tongue, surprised by how Ariel was able to discover her n even before she could execute them. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
If she had sessfully be Elena''s attendant for one night, she would have been able to inform Elena about Ariel''s desire to grab the prince and run.
Ariel would definitely be banned from entering the elf kingdom ever again, and Karen would be rewarded with the position of being Elena''s personal attendant.
This way, she would be able to stay close to the prince as well.
However, Ariel had discovered her ns now, so there was no way she was going to get what she wanted.
"Your Majesty is surprisingly smart on rare asions like these," Karen muttered to herself, her voice barely louder than a whisper.
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Nothing, Your Majesty."
"You liar!! I heard that, so that means all this time, you thought I wasn''t…" Ariel continued to yell at Karen. Meanwhile, Evelyn couldn''t contain the smile on her face.
She could hear everything Ariel and Karen were saying even though they were whispering to each other.
She wasn''t bothered by what they were saying because she knew her best friend would never do anything to make her upset.
Ariel valued her friends a lot and since the both of them were best friends, Ariel would always put her friend''s needs before hers, but Evelyn understood why Ariel wanted to bring Orion to her kingdom.
During the war, which affected all kingdoms, there was a time when the vampire race of the demon kingdom was regarded as the strongest race ever.
This was thanks to a rune monarch which the vampire race had.
Just one vampire had the potential to bring all the other demon races to their knees, but that wasn''t all, every other kingdom feared him as well, and many would shiver in fear whenever the name Damien Salvatore was mentioned.
Although he waster betrayed and killed during the war, many still feared and respected him till now.
Just as his talents had many destructive effects, the strong powerhouses of every kingdom across the world also recognized the benefits that could be derived from having a young rune monarch who could be nurtured carefully to achieve great things.
This was why Ariel wanted to take Orion before the world recognized his talents.
She wanted to avoid a situation where other kingdoms with selfish and exploitative desires would take Orion away.
However, Evelyn wasn''t bothered by this because, for now, Orion would remain by her side so she could teach him everything he needed to know to be a great rune monarch and a great future king as well.
While everyone had shocked expressions on their faces after discovering Orion''s new potential, Mia was the only one who maintained a happy and proud expression even after discovering how strong Orion had be.
She wasn''t surprised to see how important Orion had be in everyone''s eyes.
Orion had always been a special and important master to her.
She could also hear how much the crowds and spectators cheered and praised their future king now even more than ever, and this made her feel even more proud to be the spirit guardian of Orion.
Mia had always believed that her master was destined for great things because she knew not everyone was gifted enough to have a Kitsune as their spirit guardian.
That was just how special Orion was to Mia, but Mia''s facial expression suddenly changed when she noticed what Orion did next.
Orion conjured two whips made out of lightning and shed the two fairies in halves.
Mia, witnessing this, couldn''t believe what she was seeing.
Her eyes brimmed with tears as she noticed her beloved master finally using her family''s bloodline magic.
When Mia told Orion about Kitsune magic, she knew Orion had been really interested in learning about it, and she had really wanted to teach him, but her mother had told her that it was impossible for anyone to learn her family''s bloodline magic aside from someone from the Kitsune n.
Mia hadn''t been happy about this because she had really wanted to make her beloved master very happy, but because she couldn''t teach him, she gave up on the idea of Orion learning Kitsune magic.
However, now that Orion was using her family''s lowest-tier magic, Mia couldn''t wait to spar and train with him to teach him even cooler and stronger battle techniques.
Mia continued to watch as the battle finally came to an end, with Luna dropping to her knees and yielding the fight.
Ganesha announced Orion as the winner, and the crowd cheered and praised Orion as the Junior Noble Elf Tournament finally came to an end, with Orion being the ultimate champion.
Mia immediately rose from her seat without her even knowing.
Her tails wagged excitedly while she watched her beloved master being praised and cheered on.
She swiftly turned towards Evelyn to see if she could see Orion now.
"I''m sorry Mia, baby still has one more thing to do. I promise to allow you to see him tomorrow the moment the final activity of the tournament is over," Evelyn patted Mia''s head with a smile on her face.
"Okay," Mia replied sadly.
She had a lot of questions she wanted to ask Orion, but since she couldn''t see him right now, Mia decided to take a mental note of everything she wanted to ask him tomorrow, but the first thing she would do the moment Orion was done with the tournament was to give him a really huge hug because she had missed him so much.
Even though it had only been four days since she saw him, it felt like months since shest saw her beloved master.
With her mind made up on what she wanted to do, Mia slowly returned back to her seat.
Watching Mia, Ariel couldn''t help but wonder why such a little kid had a really high spiritual energy flowing within her body.
That was when she finally discovered that Mia was actually a spirit guardian, but the moment this thought came to mind, Ariel also noticed Mia''s nine tails and her eyes widened even more.
Ever since she visited Evelyn, Ariel never really paid too much attention to Mia and what she really was, but now that she was noticing the amount of mana, aura, and spiritual energy flowing within Mia, a sudden thought came to mind, and she had to ask.
"Are you a Kami-no-kai?"
