Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 326: Cordelia

"Regarding Aurora and Cordelia, your Highness, shouldn't they be making their way right here as we speak? They must be seeking to claim one of the mountains as their own residence." Asked Marley curiously as she looked at Elif, who nodded before pointing toward the left.

"Yes; as a matter of fact, they are currently floating just outside the second and third mountains, respectively, intending to challenge whoever resides there." Replied Elif lightly as he glanced at Marley while watching everything through his divine sense, his words slightly surprising them as they all did the same.

I suppose it's good that over the year, Echo, Eyvor, Goliath, Birger, and Shelia have lost their residence to someone else; Aurora isn't someone I'd ever advise them to fight willingly. Even though it may be forbidden to kill unless they were fighting in an arena, I've got no doubt Aurora would excessively injure them just because he could; that sounds like something he'd do.

"Where is Sarah?" Asked Elif in slight concern with a frown as he looked at Marley and Idonea while further spreading his divine sense.

"She's with Echo, Eyvor, and Shelia, Your Highness; they invited her on a little woman's day out, if you will." Replied Idonea softly as she looked at Elif while Marley side-glanced her.

Just as Idonea had said that, I had found Sarah, Echo, Eyvor, and Shelia sitting together, watching a play, causing me to sigh in relief as I didn't feel comfortable not knowing where she knew that Aurora and Cordelia had arrived. I doubted either of them would attack Sarah, at least not right since neither of them should hate me, but now that they've arrived, two rather strong cultivators, I didn't have confidence that my status would repel them, especially considering our status is equal.

'Hmm, weird, I wonder why she didn't inform me; she serviced me with her mouth in the morning and then just left.' Mused Elif lightly with a confused expression as he observed Sarah through his divine sense before shaking his head.

"Anyways, there isn't much that'll happen right now; I highly doubt either Cordelia or Aurora will do anything excessive right now. They'll most likely wait several months after the Realm sect stops accepting disciples if not a few years. So until then, we will most likely just be amiable between each other." Remarked Elif lightly as he waved his hands while glancing between Marley, Idonea, and Ember, who all nodded with a slight bow.

Following my words, my three servants promptly left the room while heading to whatever, leaving me and Illumia alone as we silently pondered for multiple minutes.

"It seems things are finally starting to happen at the Realm sect; waiting nearly one year is a bit excessive, but I'm glad something of interest has finally happened." Said Elif lightly, breaking the silence between the two as he stood up and slowly approached the door, prompting Illumia to follow behind him.

"Prince Ivan had arrived a few months ago; did he not interest you, Elif?" Asked Illumia softly as she glanced at Elif, who stopped and blankly looked at her, causing her to chuckle.

"Oh please, Illumia; if you're going to make a joke, at least try to make it funny." Muttered Elif with a shake of his head as he turned around and exited the room while a chuckling Illumia followed closely behind.

"Hehe, I understand, Your Highness." Said Illumia with a mischievous smirk while nodding.

As of right now, I intend to leave my two new neighbors alone; I'll meet them eventually, so there is no need for me to rush.

Entering the arena, I summoned Hokori, swiftly unsheathing my sword while pointing at Illumia, who stood opposite of me while holding two wooden battle axes.

"Depending on how badly you injure me, that's how much I'll please you, Illumia." Said Elif with a faint smirk as he glided his hand across the broad side of his blade, causing it to be covered in a faint, purple, ethereal aura.
