Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 292: The True Power Of Enhanced Beauty!

Seeing Zanga, along with several Phonix clan guards, blocking the Royal Carriage, I couldn't help but frown since it seemed like they had already anticipated us leaving, which was quite annoying as it looked like leaving the Phoenix Clan was going to be much more tedious if they were willing to be so openly blatant about it.

"Elaine, you can get into the carriage; I'll deal with this." Said Elif softly as he patted Elaine's butt, directing her towards the royal carriage, which was by Royal guards along with Mandy, Marley, and Idonea.

"That's probably for the best, Brother." Muttered Elaine softly as she approached the carriage while watching Elif approach Zanga, whom she glared at with murderous eyes.

As I approached Zanga, I made sure I looked calm and patient as I even stroked Zala and Zulo's full manes for a little bit before I finally neared them, passing Marley, Idonea, and Mandy in the process as they bowed.

"Your Highness." Said Mandy, Marley, and Idonea as they glanced at Elif and bowed, only to momentarily freeze along with a blush adoring their cheeks while they observed Elif.

Nodding at my three servants, I passed them and stood before Zanga, who was softly blushing from my otherworldly beauty, which caused me to faintly smirk since, if need be, I could use my beauty to get us out of this mess, though that would only be a last resort as Elaine was watching and I'd prefer if she didn't get upset.

"Hmm, is there something wrong, Zanga? Why all the guards?" Asked Elif curiously as he glanced at the several guards standing on either side of Zanga, who cleared her throat, helping her regain her composure in the process.

"Y-You could say so, Prince Elif. Something terrible has happened within the Clan, and Patriarch Renata has ordered everyone to remain in their residence or rooms, which unfortunately includes you, Prince Elif. I'd like to apologize for our lack of courtesy, though; I hope you can assist Patriarch Renata and stay within your Residence until everything has calmed down." Replied Zanga softly with a wry smile as she looked at Elif, who raised an eyebrow and nodded.

"I see. I do not mind staying within my residence since it leaves me more time to snuggle with my lovely little sister, but I'd like some information at the bare minimum. After all, I'm not a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan, so you can't just order me around whenever you wish; I deserve some form of explanation." Stated Elif lightly as he fanned himself with his Quạt tay while narrowing his eyes at Zanga, forcing her into a difficult position.

"I-I regret to inform you, Prince Elif, but, e-even, I don't know exactly what happened; I, along with several others, were merely given orders by Patriarch Renata, and as such, we executed them without question." Said Zanga lightly as she slightly lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with Elif, who was frowning behind his Quạt tay.

"You don't know? That is unfortunate. However, can you get someone who knows something if that's the case? I'm a patient Prince, but I do not like to simply waste time; my stay here was only meant to last a few days, so I'd like to get going soon." Remarked Elif with a deep frown as he eyed Zanga, who wore a troubled expression before she nodded.

"I-I understand if you could, give me a few moments, Prince Elif; I'll have the information you need." Said Zanga lightly with a nod as she looked at Elif before backing away and closing her eyes, communicating through her divine sense.

Watching Zanga as she supposedly finds someone, I clicked my tongue since I knew with certainty she wasn't doing much of the sort; she was merely stalling and doing a decent job at it as well.

'Welp, there goes any chance to speak with Renata; it seems leaving on even neutral terms will be difficult. Whatever, I don't mind; it's merely one Divine hegemony; the Elven Empire has few enemies, so adding one more isn't too big of a deal.' Mused Elif lightly as he gazed upon Zanga before shifting his focus towards the guards, who were all blushing.
