My Elf System

Chapter  47.NET {6}:- Finding The Prince.

"Isn't that the Earl's fourth son?" Elena inquired, as she tried to recall the name of the Earl's fourth son.

"Yes, he is."

"Wow, and he completed their first task within five minutes?"

"It seems so."

"At this rate, he might even be stronger than his older brothers."

"Indeed, and the Ramsbottom family have been known to raise strong elven warriors over the past few centuries. It seems the fourth son intends to honor his household name as well."

"I bet his Dad is proud of him right now."

Hearing this, Evelyn covered her lips and giggled to herself. "He has to be, what kind of parent wouldn't be proud of their little one."

Elena smiled in return but noticed that another name had been added to the tournament rankings.

"Someone else has hunted ten horned rabbits as well."

"Ara, and she completed hers a minute after the Earl's son," Evelyn was genuinely impressed by the young female elf who completed the first phase of the tournament in six minutes.

"She's the Duke's daughter, isn't she?"

"Yes, she is," Evelyn replied and they watched as the Duke's daughter stepped onto the magic circle before teleporting to the location for the next phase of the tournament.

A few minutes later, more elves continued to successfully hunt their targets before moving on to the next phase of the tournament.

About half an hour later, Orion was finally able to pass the first phase as well. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing this, Evelyn nudged Elena with a smile on her face, drawing Elena's attention towards her. "I told you my baby was going to make those vermins regret fighting him."

"Yeah, you did," Elena smiled and watched as Orion stepped onto the magic circle, like the others, before leaving for the next phase of the tournament.

=====

Meanwhile, in a separate room which was completely different from where Orion and the other contestants had originally been teleported from, a group of young elves gathered to eat and drink as much as they could.

It was like a buffet where all the young elves in the room were permitted to serve themselves whatever they wanted from a myriad of dishes in front of them.

These elves were the same elves who had decided not to participate in the tournament anymore.

Every one of them was having the best time of their lives as they dug into the food laid out before them like starving beasts.

Out of the hundred elves currently eating in the large hall, two best friends sat side by side and conversed while eating.

They were already stuffed, so they rested their backs on the chairs they were sitting on.

"Ugh, I think that's enough for me. If I eat any more my stomach will surely explode," Axel lamented while rubbing his bloated stomach.

"Ugh, I wish I was strong enough to teleport myself and all the food present in the hall back to the village for everyone to eat together with me," Carl uttered his thoughts while rubbing his bloated stomach as well.

Axel was the young male elf who had asked Carl why everyone was bowing down when Orion entered the hall a couple of minutes ago.

Both of them were from El'rial (The village of fishing), so neither of them had ever been exposed to the magnitude of food in front of them.

They had both decided to participate in the tournament with the goal of becoming a noble, and It didn't matter to them what rank of title they might get.

As long as they became nobles, they were more than willing to do anything to win the tournament.

However, reality and daydreams could never be similar, but this didn't mean they had given up on their goals and dreams, because now, their minds were made up on becoming a knight.

"Hey, Carl, Axel, have you two seen Prince Galdur?" A female elf asked both Carl and Axel who were still trying to breathe properly with the huge amount of food present in their stomachs.

Her name was Rose and she was one of the four female elves who had been whispering while everyone bowed to Orion when he entered the hall.

Just like Carl and Axel, Rose and the three other girls were from the same village, and they all joined the tournament with the hope of becoming a noble.

"Hmm, The Prince?"  Carl and Axel repeated at the same time.

"Yes."

"I don't know where he is, but I think he should be within the hall," Carl replied.

"I doubt that. I think the prince is participating in the tournament right now," The female elf replied.

"What? Are you sure that he is actually participating?" Axel inquired, finding it hard to believe that the elders would allow a ten-year-old to go against a group of Blaze rats on his own.

"Yes, Cassie, Ivory and Maggie have searched everywhere for him but we couldn't find him. This means that he is in the forest with the rest of the other contestants."

Carl nodded his head in understanding but found it odd for Rose to come to them asking if they had seen the prince.

"Since you knew he was participating with the others, why are you here looking for him? Shouldn't you be able to see him on the screen displayed by one of those crystal balls hovering in the room?"

"We've checked every single one of them, but none of them were showing the prince, so we wondered if the prince might actually be in the hall with us, but after searching around, I can't find him here either."

Just like in the room where Elena, Evelyn, and Mia were watching everything that was occurring in the forest, several crystal balls were hovering mid-air in the hall, projecting live footage of what was happening in the forest with the contestants hunting for horned rabbits.

"Maybe the prince isn't here, have you tried watching from the crystal ball again?" Carl suggested.

"I guess I'll check it out one more time," Rose turned around to head towards the other room where twenty crystal balls displayed different footage of what was happening to different contestants in the forest.

However, while she was heading towards the other room, she suddenly heard Axel and Carl's voices behind her as they followed her to see if the prince was truly participating in the tournament.

"Why exactly were you looking for the prince?" Axel asked with a confused look on his face.

He couldn't think of a good reason why Rose and the other girls had such a strong desire to find the prince.

Rose smiled and replied. "We thought if the prince wasn't participating in the tournament, we could try our best to serve him whatever he wanted in the hall. We knew he might not agree to our demands, but we are eager to do whatever it takes to give him the best service ever."

"Is it just me, or didn't that sound lewd to you."

Rose giggled at Axel's words but didn't give him a reply. Instead, she continued to walk towards the other room until her gaze fell upon Cassie, Ivory and Maggie, whose eyes were locked onto the screen.

Rose called out to them repeatedly but neither of them replied.

She wondered what could have drawn so much of their attention for them not to have heard her.

When she got closer to them, she noticed what they were watching.

"You three have seen the prince and you didn't inform us?" Rose raised her voice as an angry look came over her face.

She didn't like the fact that Cassie and Maggie didn't inform her of something this important.

"Shh, We're sorry, okay. We just saw it, too. Now keep quiet and let us focus on what we're watching."

Rose harrumphed before returning her gaze back to the screen to see what Orion was doing.

Carl and Axel watched the screen as well but Axel wasn't happy with what he was seeing.

"I do not understand why Elder Jang would permit His Highness to join the tournament and fight against a group of Blaze rats on his own, what if something goes wrong? What would Her Majesty say if something were to happen to the prince?"

"Nothing is going to happen to the prince, you worry too much, don't tell me you're actually the prince's brother, pretending to live the life of a commoner,"  Carl teased.

"Don't joke about something like that, you jerk. I'm not his brother, but can't you see the prince is only ten years old."

Rose giggled and replied. "He might be a ten-year-old prince, but I heard His Highness might actually be a Rank Two or even a Rank Three Mage, and this is one of the reasons why I didn't want to miss his battle with the Blaze rats."

Since Axel was seventeen years old, just like Carl and the girls, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried about the prince.

When he looked at the prince on the screen, crossing his legs on the ground while protecting himself with a mana shield, Axel couldn't help but notice Orion's young appearance.
