Chapter 273: Event Starting

"P-Please forgive me, Zen." Lena pleaded for mercy as she saw Zen playing around with his wet finger.

Zen smirked evilly as he asked, "Are you going to try that shenanigan to me again?

Lena shook her head vigorously. 

She wasn't dumb enough to provoke Zen again after he displayed his evilness and the things he would do.

'He would even eat the daughter's mother.' Lena cried inwardly as she knew he would really thrust her inside if she still tried something against him.

Zen nodded his head.

"Very well, since you understood your position then I shall call an end to this punishment...for now," Zen said wickedly as he stood up.

"You should tidy your clothes first since I can still see those lovely nipples." He added as he waved goodbye.

Meanwhile, Lena glanced down and saw her voluptuous boobs, completely exposed. She quickly covered it up with her clothes and thought Zen would once again pounce on her.

However, she noticed Zen was gone already and really left her alone in the bed.

"He really just left like that?" Lena raised an eyebrow as she felt somewhat disappointed at the outcome.

Sometime later, Zen arrived at Krista Dragoon's bedroom as he laid on the bed.

"Are you sure that dagger came from the elves' royal family?" Zen asked aloud.

Cecilia soon came out of his core as she sat on the bed and gave a slight nod. 

"The symbol engraved in that dagger was clear enough," Cecilia said.

Zen raised an eyebrow as he wondered why Lena didn't show much of a reaction then. If he found out she was a member of the royal family, shouldn't she be panicking.

It was questionable enough why a royal member would go into a human kingdom and sleep in the slum while struggling to make ends meet. 

"Is she on the run with Angela?" Zen muttered in a low voice.

"Most probably that's the case. If I have to guess based on her alluring figure and appearance alone. I would say that Lena might be the elves queen or a relative to the queen." 

"Then why didn't she react crazily when I held the dagger?" 

Cecilia smirked as she stood up and glanced at Zen. Looking at him up and down as she shook her head.

Zen twitched his brows as he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"With your appearance and current mindset, I doubt Lena would know that you understood the meaning of that dagger." 

Cecilia sneered as she continued, "If I didn't tell you the origin of the dagger. You would have still thought the dagger was simply an exquisite piece without much meaning."

Zen crossed his arms in anger but he didn't refute her. It was indeed true that he needed Cecilia to remind him. 

However, it was also a fact that it should be a given that he doesn't know much about the elves since it was his first time meeting one.

How could he possibly know everything about the elves if he never got to study them in the first place?

"Whatever, I'm going to sleep now." Zen scoffed as he grabbed a blanket. 

He then glanced at Cecilia for a moment. "Are you going to join me in bed? I really want to hug someone tonight."

Zen showed a sincere expression, hoping that Cecilia would sleep with him but it was only a pipe dream.

With a breeze, Cecilia vanished from sight and hid inside his core. In the meantime, she shut off the communication signal to prevent Zen from disturbing her.

Zen twitched his mouth from her reaction. He began to wonder where all his women went. He was so lonely and yet they all decided to go exploring without him.

"Sara, Angela, Freya, Eleanor, Krista, Leila, I missed you all," Zen sighed softly as he mumbled their names. He then closed his eyes as he fell asleep.

*******

BANG!

The morning came by quickly with the sun basking in his bed. Zen had a reluctant expression on his face as he was forced to wake up after he heard numerous loud fireworks being shot in the sky.

Rubbing his eyes softly, Zen glanced outside the window and wondered what's going on.

"Who the hell launched fireworks in the goddamn morning?" Zen grumbled as he cursed at them.

However, his expression turned complicated as he tried to calculate what today was.

"Crap, isn't today when everyone in the neighboring Kingdom comes to the Jade Kingdom for the Mage Tournament event?" Zen finally remembered what day it was today.

He quickly dashed out to a restroom and brushed his teeth as he stripped himself naked to dress up.

Right when Zen was about to grab his clothes, he realized that he was still in Krista Dragoon's room and not his own.

Thus, without wasting any time, he dashed toward his own room to grab his fancy clothes.

Meanwhile, in Zen's original room, Lena also woke up due to the loud noises created by the fireworks.

She was going to tidy up herself until the door was forced open and to her disbelief, Zen came in with a naked body.

"Ahhh"

Lena screamed in panic as she quickly covered her eyes with her hand. 

"What are you doing? Didn't I promise you I won't try to do anything I did from last night again?" Lena shouted in a hurry.

"Relax, if I really wanted to devour you then I would have done it last night." Zen didn't react innocently or guilty as he walked toward his closet.

"This was originally my room and I came here to find my clothes." He added.

Lena found his explanation reasonable but still, she turned around to avoid seeing his toned body. 

Her heart was throbbing hard when she recalled the enormous thing below his waist. 

'What is wrong with me?' Lena tried to slap herself conscious but her vision kept recalling the enormous thing no matter how hard she tried.

"Anyway, are you going to go out with me?" Zen asked her as he dressed himself up. The streets are going to be lively due to the event starting and staying in the Peace Blossom Court was going to be boring.
