====

A/N:- I'm sorry to let you guys know that a few changes have been made to the previous chapter. Going away from the initial route I wanted the novel to progress through, I realized that there was no need to write unnecessary drama since it was the final fight in the tournament. So, I decided to change a few things in the previous chapter, hoping that you guys will read the previous chapter again before continuing with this chapter. Thank you so much, I hope you like it.

The battle between Luna and Orion continued.

Ariel was able to see something impressive. She watched as Luna summoned two spirit guardians before creating an illusion that was quite difficult for most mages within Luna's rank to escape from. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Ariel could see that Orion was clearly stronger than Luna, so she wondered why he hadn't ended the fight yet.

However, she also noticed how relaxed and calm Orion was.

He didn't look like an elf who was worried about the fight, and neither was he looking like he was scared of the things happening to him.

After all, hands had sprung out of the sand, tugging on his clothes and grabbing his feet; any normal ten-year-old elf would have been terrified by this, but Orion wasn't.

Just what type of a ten-year-old elf was he?

She wondered to herself.

While Ariel was thinking about this, she suddenly noticed countless glowing magical runes, flowing out of Orion's palm and hovering mid-air.

"Are those-?"

"Runes?"

Ariel and Karen almost stood up from their seats due to the shock of what was happening. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Their eyes widened in disbelief.

It had been decades since they had seen or heard about a rune monarch.

"Your Majesty, wasn't the last rune monarch a vampire?" Karen asked Ariel.

"Yes, but he was killed during the war."

"Hey Evelyn," Ariel called out to Evelyn, dragging Evelyn's attention towards her.

"Hmm?"

"Well, since you're a very busy queen, unlike me. I think your son will best be protected in my-"

"Nope," Evelyn replied, already knowing what Ariel was going to say.

"Huh? No? At least, let me finish."

"Nope, I won't. My baby is the future king of the Kingdom; he'll remain here by my side, so don't worry about his protection; I can handle that perfectly by myself. Thanks for your concern though, you baby stealing Sea goddess."

Hearing this, Ariel clicked her tongue in disappointment. She wasn't happy that her plan hadn't worked, but she wasn't going to give up so soon.

She swiftly leaned closer to Karen, who was sitting right beside her, and she whispered. "Hey Karen, the plan didn't work, what are we going to do now?"

Karen leaned towards Ariel as well and whispered. "We could grab the prince while Queen Evelyn is asleep and–"

"And take him back with us to the kingdom?" Ariel completed what Karen had in mind.

"Indeed, your Majesty."

"Hehe. You see Karen, that's why I like you so much. You always know what to say to make me feel happy."

"Your kind words are wasted on someone as insignificant as me."

"Nonsense, Karen. You're my best friend. Of course, I would be willing to praise you anytime the situation calls for it."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, does this mean you'll grant one of my selfish requests?"

"What is it? I'll at least hear you out first before making a decision."

"Thank you, my friend. Please allow me to become Princess Elena's attendant for just one night."
