My Elf System

26. Royal Banquet [3]:- Alone With Mia.

“Huh? Mia? What’s wrong?” Orion asked as he walked along with Mia out of the hall.

‘We are leaving this place,’ She replied telepathically.

‘But? Why?’ Orion replied back the same way as well.

‘To get some fresh air outside for master,’

‘Huh? But I don’t need......’

Mia stopped walking and suddenly turned to Orion to speak. ‘Yes, you do. I know master wasn’t feeling well while we were eating, and I don’t like it if Master lies to me about things like this,’

Mia didn’t open her mouth to speak to him but her words reverberated within his mind louder than anything he had ever heard before, and he could feel the emotions Mia felt when she said those words.

This allowed him to recall some of the details of his newly acquired skill [Telepathy] which allowed him to feel some of Mia’s emotions as well whenever she talked telepathically to her.

This skill was limited to only Mia because she was his spirit guardian, so he knew how hurt she was to see him the way he was in the hall.

‘I’m sorry Mia, I won’t do that ever again,’ Orion apologized in her mind with an apologetic look on his face before patting her head slowly.

“Good, now follow me,” Mia replied with a neutral look on her face before holding Orion’s hand as she walked with him along the corridor.

Mia was happy with his words but because she didn’t want Orion  to know that she had quickly forgiven him, she tried to act annoyed a bit longer for him to see how upset she was.

However, her tails failed to mask her true feelings towards her beloved master’s words because as she walked, her tails wagged faster.

She continued to walk excitedly while holding Orion’s hand.

A few maids and knights in the hallway noticed the two of them walking alone, so they tried to ask if they would need anything but Mia glared at every one of them, indicating that she didn’t want to be disturbed and that she wanted no one to disturb her time alone with her master.

Seeing how Mia was genuinely concerned about him made Orion to instinctively smile.

He felt happy to have someone who cared a lot about him just as how his mother and aunt felt towards him.

The only person he had ever felt loved and cherished from was his grandfather who raised him.

Aside from his grandfather, Orion was never close to anyone else, but he couldn’t deny the fact that it felt nice to be cherished by Mia, Evelyn and Elena in this world and this made Orion even more eager to live a peaceful and tranquil life with his mother and Aunt.

Of course, Mia had automatically been added to the few people he cared a lot about in this world as well.

After a few minutes of walking along the corridor, they finally arrived at the courtyard and Mia guided Orion towards the bench for them to have a seat.

She sat beside Orion and patted her lap while looking at Orion.

Orion’s eyes widened in disbelief when he understood what she wanted him to do.

“You want me to......?”

“Yes master,......mama always does this for me as well whenever I was sick,”

“Mama? You have a mother?”

“Yes, I do,” Mia nodded her head and this allowed Orion to realize that he actually knew little to nothing about Mia and where she came from.

Mia patted her thighs again, expecting him to rest his head on her lap and Orion nodded his head in understanding before resting his head on her lap.

He could see she really wanted to do what was in her mind but he didn’t want to make her feel sad so he decided to go along with what she wants.

Mia’s hands began to glow as she slowly stroke Orion’s head, relieving him of the discomfort he felt on his head and refilling him with a sense of energy while Mia hummed a beautiful song she was used to hearing her mother singing for her.

However, his body also felt really relaxed and he could feel himself slowly drifting off to sleep by Mia’s wonderful healing technique.

Orion found it strange to be in such a position because ever since they left the sacred grove, he had been seeing Mia as his little sister but right now it felt as though their roles had been reversed.

‘But this doesn’t seem too bad,’

‘In fact, it feels really good to be like this once in a while,’

‘I could get used to this as well,’ Orion uttered in his thoughts as he was feeling even more sleepy by the second, but then he suddenly recalled what he and Mia were discussing about before he rested his head on her lap.

“Won’t your mother be worried about you spending a lot of time in this realm?”

“She might, but I think mama will be more than happy to hear that I was spending time with you master,”

“Really?”

“Yes,”

“I’m sorry Mia. I shouldn’t have asked you to come with me if I knew you had a mother back home in the spirit realm,”

Mia smiled, seeing how considerate her master was of her. She continued to gently stroke Orion’s head before replying. “It’s fine master. I’m glad you asked me to come,”

“Really?”

“Yes, master. I really enjoyed my time with you. Thank you for bringing me here with you,”

“You’re welcome,” Orion replied while feeling his eyes becoming heavy for him to remain awake.

“Sleep tight master,” Mia said and Orion drifted off to sleep.

The two remained like that for about two hours but Evelyn had her eyes watching what they were doing while she remained in the hall with Elena and the other nobles.

She was able to see from such a long distance due to her [Omnivision] skill which was similar to that of Orion but the range was a lot longer than that of his.

A couple of maids had also informed Evelyn about her baby’s whereabouts in case the queen was worried about where her baby was but Evelyn didn’t need them to tell her this because of her Omnivision skill, but because she didn’t want to discourage them from doing their job, she didn’t say anything to them and she didn’t ask them to stop.

Evelyn grabbed her glass cup and drank from it when she suddenly noticed one of the nobles in the hall, looking towards her direction while raising his hand up to request permission to speak.
