My Elf System

Chapter 130: 130. Dahlia.

Noticing that Dahlia was still feeling uncomfortable sitting by his side, Orion decided to ask.

"Is something wrong?"

Both of them were currently sitting together in the park, so anyone passing by would occasionally look in their direction.

However, this wasn't the only reason Dahlia felt uneasy. She was feeling a bit uncomfortable because of the female elves hiding behind trees, and watching them from afar.

"Um, there are a lot of elves looking in this direction," She replied, trying not to look at Orion's face.

"You want us to leave?"

Dahlia shook her head and replied. "It's not that, Your Highness. But should I really be sitting by your side right now?"

"It's better than you standing beside me and towering over me."

"But it feels like the girls have something to say to you."

"Nah, I doubt that."

"But they've been following you around all day long."

"Yeah, they're doing that to see if there's any other club I'm interested in registering for."

While Orion was walking around the arena, registering for the clubs he wanted to be a part of, Dahlia had noticed the female elves subtly following behind them, but she never really knew the reason why they were doing this.

She thought the girls had a thing or two they wanted to say to Orion, but thinking back now, she recalled seeing a few of the girls registering for the same clubs Orion had registered at before moving on to a different club.

So far, Orion had registered to be a part of four different main activity clubs, so the girls wondered if Orion had any other club in mind to register, for because the maximum number of clubs he could register for was five and it wouldn't be surprising to see the elf prince registering in one more club to increase his chances of earning more merit points.

However, Orion had no interest in registering for any other club for now, and that was why he came here to have a seat in the park.

Now, Dahlia finally understood why there were so many girls hiding behind the trees while watching the prince.

'Should I call it watching or spying?'

'I think spying would be the right word to use in a situation like this,' She thought to herself.

Unlike Mia, Evelyn, and Elena, Dahlia had never seen so many female elves spying on Orion from a distance.

This was her first time witnessing something like this and Dahlia couldn't help but wonder about something. "Aren't they disrupting his privacy?" She muttered this to herself, not knowing that Orion could perfectly hear what she was saying.

"On the contrary, they're actually respecting my privacy."

Seeing as how the girls didn't rush to sit or talk to Orion, it was clear that they wouldn't want to do anything that would make their beloved prince unhappy.

"Also, they looked quite happy while doing this, so why would I want to take away that happiness from them," Orion added.

As a prince of the elf kingdom, he liked to see his people with smiles on their faces.

Not only did it make everyone look younger and more vibrant, but it also made him feel welcomed as well.

So, if they wanted to keep watching him from a distance because it made them happy, then Orion would be pleased to ensure they remained happy.

He had never once regretted arriving into this world and a big thanks for that went to the beautiful women he had by his side. However, It was also thanks to his royal subjects who had welcomed him with nothing but love and respect.

He could only hope it stayed that way for a long time.

Meanwhile, Dahlia never expected Orion to care so much about his people.

She could see that the girls cared a lot about him to be willing to join the same club as him, but she wasn't expecting him to feel the same way about them.

She unwittingly turned towards the elves hiding behind a tree, but the girls swiftly hid their faces so that they wouldn't make eye contact with Dahlia.

This made Dahlia smile a bit but it also made her feel a bit sad and jealous, seeing how close those girls were to each other.

From what she could see, everyone looked like they were friends who cherished one another, making it easier for them to feel the same way towards their beloved prince.

Orion noticed Dahlia looking in the direction of the female elves hiding behind a tree and he asked. "Would you like to talk with them?"

"Huh? Me?"

"Yes."

"I don't think they'll want me to come close to them."

"Why? Is it because you are a bit different from them?"

"Yes," Dahlia replied truthfully. She had no reason to lie to him. "No elf will want to be close to a vampire like me, and the same goes for everyone in the elf kingdom, too," Dahlia informed Orion while staring at the ground. She held her dress tightly as she tried not to remember her horrible past.

"You don't have to worry about that anymore. Things aren't as they used to be, and I'm sure everyone will welcome you into the kingdom with open arms,"

Dahlia wished this could be true but she doubted the elves could ever welcome her back to the kingdom with open arms.

"What about your spirit guardian or elemental?" As elves, it was expected for everyone to have a spirit guardian or an elemental, but Dahlia didn't have one.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I do not have one."

"I see, but have you tried summoning one before?"

"No, Your Highness, I haven't."

"So, would you like to come to the elf kingdom with me to see if you could summon and make a contract with a spirit guardian or elemental?"

"I can't, Your Highness, I'm part demon, I don't think…" Dahlia tried to let Orion know that as a part vampire, there was no way she could summon a spirit guardian of her own, much less an elemental, but Orion interrupted her mid-sentence.

"We won't know until you try."

Elves were the only race in the world capable of summoning elementals and spirit guardians, so it made sense that Dahlia was skeptical about being able to summon a spirit guardian of her own.

Demons and other races could never summon a spirit guardian, and since she was part vampire, she shouldn't be able to do this either, but just as Orion said, they wouldn't know if this was possible until Dahlia gave it a try.

"So, what do you think, would you still like to come back home?"

"Y-yes," As an elf, Dahlia would love nothing more than to be with other elves like her.

During the war, Salvatore captured a lot of Forest elves, moon elves, and nature elves, thanks to the blood elves and snow elves who betrayed their kind.

Dahlia was one of the many elves that was captured when she was very young.

A lot of the captive adult elves were bitten and turned into vampires before being sent back to the elf kingdom to blend in and wreak havoc. Meanwhile, the younger elves were trained to become dangerous killers and to get used to their new abilities as well.

As demons, the vampires had an innate ability to hypnotize anyone they had bitten and turn into a vampire.

This meant that the elves who were bitten were not an exception.

Every single one of them was hypnotized to obey their master's orders, which were to kill any elf on sight.

It was truly a gory and gruesome experience with the screams and cries of so many elves echoing throughout the kingdom.

As vampire elves, they were naturally stronger and more fearsome than an average vampire because vampires in the mortal rank were vulnerable to sunlight, and this was a general weakness for the vampires.

Only vampires in the transcendent and immortal mage rank were capable of moving freely in broad daylight.

However, the vampire elves were also able to do this as well.

They weren't affected by the sun, and it didn't matter if the elves were in the mortal mage rank or the transcendent mage rank; all vampire elves were able to move freely during the day, making it easier for the vampires to implement their plans.

However, while the vampire elves were unable to nullify the hypnosis of the vampires ordering them around because of how low their mage and knight rank were, the same couldn't be said when these elves finally increased their ranks to the transcendent mage and knight rank.

As vampire elves, they were stronger than most elves and vampires in the mortal mage rank, making it easier for them to quickly become transcendent mages, but the moment they became transcendent mages, all the vampire elves developed a high will-power to nullify the vampires' hypnosis before having their revenge on the vampires, with Salvatore being at the top of their list.
