Chapter 271 A Celebration

The feast started later that evening, hundreds of elves and humans mingled together as they drank and ate to their heart's content. Reign and the others were amongst them together with Aelrinder and the royal guards. Usually, the commander, the royal guards, and the elite soldiers wouldn't show up to such gatherings as they were supposed to be guarding the upper floors of the giant tree, today however the queen had given them the order to take a day off and relax.

There was of course no danger of anyone stealing or creating trouble in the tree as the queen could sense everything that happened inside of it, even the guards who were posted there were simply a formality and a way for the queen to not have to do everything by herself. Such a hard-fought battle deserved to be followed by a celebration and the queen didn't want her men to be left out, they had fought bravely and ferociously and they deserved a bit of time to relax.

This was amongst the rare occasions that Reign and the others could fully relax, they talked and laughed with the elves, made jokes with Aelrinder and the royal guards who were surprisingly easy to talk to, and had a great time. Tank was surrounded by a couple of elven beauties as he drank from a giant cup, he was laughing heartily while making jokes and flirting with the beautiful ladies around him.

The elves were a race that usually had a slim physique, very rarely would an elf that was burly and muscular as Tank exist and the elves had an interest in him as he was very different compared to them. Beast and Laura sat next to each other, neither one of them was good at such large gatherings as they were both a bit shy. Multiple elves had approached them previously and sparked a conversation only to later leave as they could see that the two were a bit awkward with such things. They simply talked with each other while drinking a bit, from time to time they would talk a bit with Reign and the others as well.

It was only after some elite soldiers came up to them that they finally relaxed a bit. The soldiers had moved a lot during the fight and at one point even arrived at the back of the then barely existing horde. They had managed to see Beast and Laura fight and wanted to talk about it with them. A couple of them were healers while the others were long-range fighters that mainly used bows, faced with people that had similar fighting styles the two quickly opened up and finally started laughing and talking about different techniques that they used.

Reign and Aelrinder quickly hit it off, the commander of the elves had previously felt the immense mana that Reign had and wanted to form a friendship with him, they were already allies and it could be said that they fought shoulder to shoulder with one another which made things a bit easier. Not only was it a good thing to have friendly relations with your allies, but strong fighters such as Reign and the others were always welcomed anywhere, and becoming friends with someone like that was never a bad idea.

During their conversation they would often get interrupted by Shadow who was sitting next to Wolf and a couple of elven girls, he was doing his best to impress the ladies and wanted to use Wolf as his wingman, unfortunately, the plan backfired as Wolf's calm demeanor and seemingly not-caring attitude was like a magnet to the girls who were suddenly focusing on Wolf more than Shadow.

The latter was going mad with envy as he stared daggers at Wolf who simply shook his head in disappointment as he looked back at Shadow. A slight smirk appeared on his face as he started talking a bit with the elves while Shadow was busy recounting their many battles and trying to draw Reign and the others in the conversation in an attempt to woo the girls.

Greenie on the other hand had become an attraction amongst the elves, his gray skin was a stark contrast to everybody else and the horns sticking out from his head were something that the elves were incredibly interested in. Some kids started climbing on top of him before swinging from his horns, others drank with him and laughed and he even started wrestling with some of the stronger elves. Of course, there were ladies near him as well, contrary to how elves were presented in many fantasy books and novels, they were not really arrogant and didn't mind being with someone of another race.

Sleeping with someone also wasn't anything that was put much importance, they were children of nature and could do anything they wished to do. As the night progressed the people become much more relaxed and, well, drunk. Some could be seen making out in the open while others went to their huts from which moans could be heard. Nobody cared about what was happening as everybody was having a great time.

Wolf was currently talking with an elven girl that was part of the royal guards, the two had hit it off, and after seeing that the other girls quickly left the area and went back to Shadow who was elated to no end. Even though it wasn't like they were forbidden to talk to Wolf, they simply knew that they barely had a chance after the royal guard had approached him, not only was she beautiful but her strength and rank were something on a completely different level compared to them.

Soon the area was becoming more and more deserted as fewer people could be seen outside celebrating, it was already very late at night and most people had either gone to sleep or found partners to celebrate even further with. Of course, there were some that went overboard and passed out on the ground outside.

…

Reign opened his eyes as he stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above him, his head hurt a bit as he drank a bit too much last night and could really remember everything that happened clearly. Suddenly he looked to his left and right as he could feel that something was laying on his arms. Two elven girls, one blonde and the other one with pitch-black hair were lying on both of his sides, all three were naked underneath the covers and Reign simply returned to staring at the ceiling whilst having a proud smile on his face.

How could he not be proud, the blonde was another member of the royal guards while the black-haired elf was one of the elite soldiers and both were incredible beauties. Compared to other elven girls the blonde was a bit different, she mainly used a shield and mace for combat and her body was a bit thicker and muscular compared to other girls. She wasn't built like a bodybuilder, of course, she simply had a bit more meat on her and thicker thighs compared to the rest while the black-haired girl had a slim body type with larger breasts.

Slowly the two opened their eyes and smiled at Reign before he got up, staring at the two naked girls that were laying on the bed he blinked a couple of times before going back to them. The room was soon filled with sensual moans and giggles as some cardio was being done.

After some time they exited the hut they were sleeping in, the area they were at was the second-highest tree, there were a total of 20 huts on it and that was where all of them had spent the night. The two girls kissed Reign on the cheek before parting ways.

"Hey," Shadow called out to Reign from behind before putting his arm around his shoulders.

"You had a good night as well I see." The two friends looked at each other before laughing heartily and waiting for the others, soon everyone except for Beast and Laura came out. Of course, none of them came out alone, Wolf and the royal guard from before said goodbye before he joined the group and got a couple of teasing remarks.

Tank exited the hut with four girls and smiled wryly at the others who simply scoffed at him. It was only a bit later that everyone heard two loud shouts coming from one of the huts nearby, they immediately recognized the voices as Beast and Laura's. Without skipping a bit they ran towards the hut and opened it forcefully before stopping in their tracks.

Laura was standing naked next to a bed on which Beast was laying, of course, he was also naked. The two looked at the others with shock in their eyes before Laura started shouting.

"Out, get out!!!" She covered her body with her hands as her whole face turned red. Reign and the others quickly scrambled to leave while Beast put on some pants and left with his clothes. Upon leaving the others looked at Beast with weird smiles before Shadow started speaking.

"Ccc, I never would have guessed that you would take advantage of Laura like that Beast, seems like you're becoming more and more befitting of your name."

"To think one of us was such a person, ccc," Reign added whilst trying his best not to laugh.

"I'm not even angry, just disappointed." Wolf suddenly added as everyone snickered a bit.

"I didn't, you have to believe me, I don't even remember what happened last night!" Beast started shouting while putting on his clothes. Their conversation was heard by an elite soldier that suddenly came to them and started talking.

It turns out that it was the soldiers that put them in the hut together, the two became too drunk after some time and the soldiers didn't want them passing out on the ground. They simply put them in one hut because all of the others were taken.

When Laura came out she was still red as a tomato, after learning that nothing had happened last night and the two were simply put there by the elves who also took off their clothes in order for them not to dirty the bed she and Beast both sighed in relief.

Suddenly Laura turned to glare at Beast before speaking, "And why are you so happy that nothing happened, I'm not pretty enough for someone like you huh?"

"I-um, I- wh- what?!"

Laura suddenly turned around and flashed a sly smile to Reign and the others who immediately burst out laughing.
