25. Royal Banquet [2]:- Master Is Lying.

25. Royal Banquet [2]:- Master Is Lying.

“Master? May I?”

“Not yet, Mia. Let’s wait till mother says we can eat,”

“Okay,” Mia replied with a nod and a smile on her face. 

Orion smiled as well while noticing this and he patted her head again.

He couldn’t deny how undeniably cute she was right now and so he had to pat her head one more time.

Of course, Mia loved it as well, and she wouldn’t mind being patted on the head throughout the day.

However, Orion finds this cute side of her adorable as well.

Just by touching or seating close to her, Orion could feel the intense amount of mana flowing within Mia so he knew how strong she was but he always finds it soothing whenever he sees Mia behaving like a little sister towards him.

This makes him sometimes to forget the terrifying mana she had within her which could easily make her to be among one of the strongest people Orion had ever seen since he arrived in this world.

Right after he was done patting her head, Orion and Mia noticed a maid standing behind Evelyn clanging the cup she held in one hand with a spoon on the other.

The maid did this to draw everyone’s attention towards her because Evelyn was about to make a toast.

Everyone in the hall fell silent as Evelyn stood up to make a toast. "I thank you all for attending the prince's awakening ceremony," she said, her voice clear and confident. 

"I'm delighted to see so many of you here today, especially given the short notice. So, please, enjoy the food, drink, and company. To the Prince!"

“To the Prince!!!” The nobles echoed her toast, their glasses clinking together in unison. 

With that out of the way, the room erupted in laughter and conversation once again.

Now, Mia could eat and with an anticipating look on her face, she requested permission from Orion once again and he nodded his head in response.

Mia didn’t waste a second to dig into the food in front of her.

Orion also ate as well but he occasionally uses a napkin to wipe the side of her lips whenever she was taking breaks during her meal.

To him, he felt like he was taking care of his little sister and was simply doing the same thing his aunt did for him when he ate together with Elena this morning.

He continued to do this without caring if there was anyone around them but he became conscious of what he was doing when he noticed the eyes of the nobles and maids watching the two of them bonding together in the hall.

Everyone continued to steal glances towards their direction.

Although, they tried to be discreet in what they were doing by not allowing the prince to notice them gaze, but Orion could feel their eyes on him no matter how hard they tried not to make him see them.

‘Ugh, my head,’ Orion placed his hand on his forehead.

He was beginning to feel uncomfortable staying in the hall.

He wasn’t used to being the center of attention the way he was right now.

In his previous world, everyone rarely noticed his presence in a room so he was used to that kind of lifestyle but right now, it felt like everyone weren’t  satisfied with having a look at him once.

They all wanted to have another look, and another, and another, and that’s how they’ve been trying their best not to seem too obvious of what their intentions were.

However, it clearly wasn’t working.

Orion doesn’t really blame them, because he knew this would have to be the norms of his life as a prince from now on.

He was certain Evelyn and Elena could notice the eyes watching them as well, but because they were already used to it, they felt relaxed and comfortable in the hall.

However, no one dared to look at the queen and princess with a high amount of lustful intentions or else their heads will spin backwards...,.... literally.

This has actually been done a couple times in the past so all the male nobles in the hall made sure their desires were in check to avoid having their heads spinning backwards.

It was understandable for everyone in the hall to steal glances at the three high elves in the room.

Aside from some forest elves nobles, there were other elf races in the hall as well but none could ever be comparable to that of an high elf.

Not only were the queen and princess, tall, beautiful and graceful. They had a unique aura around them as well to which both male and female elves in the hall couldn’t get enough of seeing.

Moreover, it felt heavenly for everyone in the hall to have the honor of eating with someone idolized by thousands of elves in the kingdom.

To the nobles, it felt like they were mortals, enjoying the luxury of eating with gods.

Who wouldn’t want to have a really good long look at the deity they were dining with.

Hence, why everyone couldn’t get tired of stealing glances at the three high elves in the room.

After all, this opportunity only comes once in a while.

“Master, are you alright?” Mia asked with a worried look on her face.

She could see that her master was feeling uncomfortable but she wasn’t sure what was wrong with him exactly.

Orion removed his hand from his forehead and forced a smile on his face as he replied back. “I’m fine Mia,”

‘Master is lying. I don’t like it when Master lies to me,’ Mia uttered these words telepathically to Orion so that no one else would hear their conversation.

She placed a hand on his forehead and Mia furrowed her brows with a unsatisfied look on her face.

She instantly stood up from her seat to walk towards Evelyn.

While they were in the golden chariot together on their way back to the palace, Mia had understood the relationship between Orion and Evelyn, and she knew Evelyn was her master’s mother, so she decided to speak with Evelyn first before doing what she had in mind.

Mia pulled Evelyn clothes to draw Evelyn’s attention towards her, then she whispered a few words into Evelyn’s ears.

“Okay Mia, thank you so much,”

“You’re welcome your Majesty,” Mia curtsied before returning back to Orion.

Then, She grabbed Orion by the hand and slowly pulled him away from his seat.
