My Elf System

Chapter  66.  NET {25}:- Rune Monarch 2.

====

A/N:- I'm sorry to let you guys know that a few changes have been made to the previous chapter. Going away from the initial route I wanted the novel to progress through, I realized that there was no need to write unnecessary drama since it was the final fight in the tournament. So, I decided to change a few things in the previous chapter, hoping that you guys will read the previous chapter again before continuing with this chapter. Thank you so much, I hope you like it.

The battle between Luna and Orion continued.

Ariel was able to see something impressive. She watched as Luna summoned two spirit guardians before creating an illusion that was quite difficult for most mages within Luna's rank to escape from.

Ariel could see that Orion was clearly stronger than Luna, so she wondered why he hadn't ended the fight yet.

However, she also noticed how relaxed and calm Orion was.

He didn't look like an elf who was worried about the fight, and neither was he looking like he was scared of the things happening to him.

After all, hands had sprung out of the sand, tugging on his clothes and grabbing his feet; any normal ten-year-old elf would have been terrified by this, but Orion wasn't.

Just what type of a ten-year-old elf was he?

She wondered to herself.

While Ariel was thinking about this, she suddenly noticed countless glowing magical runes, flowing out of Orion's palm and hovering mid-air.

"Are those-?"

"Runes?"

Ariel and Karen almost stood up from their seats due to the shock of what was happening. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Their eyes widened in disbelief.

It had been decades since they had seen or heard about a rune monarch.

"Your Majesty, wasn't the last rune monarch a vampire?" Karen asked Ariel.

"Yes, but he was killed during the war."

"And no one has ever seen or heard about a rune monarch since then?"

"Yes, Karen. But right now, we're witnessing a new rune monarch."

"But, how can a ten-year-old elf acquire such a skill? Just how much understanding of runes, sigils, and magical symbols does he have for him to have acquired a skill coveted by millions."

"I don't know Karen, but there's no doubt about it. The young prince has just made himself a national treasure for his kingdom."

"Indeed, Your Majesty. Not only is he very young, he's also good-looking and extremely talented as well," Karen nodded her head, excited to find such an outstanding prodigy here in the elf kingdom.

Meanwhile, both Evelyn and Elena still couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Never before, had Orion revealed to them that he had the ability to read runes up to the level of being called a rune monarch.

They were so close to him and yet Orion had never mentioned anything to them.

Elena felt a bit hurt, but more than that, she was proud to have a wonderful nephew like Orion.

He was simply the best.

No, he was the greatest nephew ever!!!!!

As for Evelyn, she tried her best to remain calm and composed but she was barely able to maintain her composure.

Her baby had become an extraordinary elf and yet, he kept it a secret from her.

'Ufufufu, baby has a lot of explaining to do,' Evelyn giggled internally.

She was so proud of her baby that she wanted to end the tournament now and swiftly take her baby back to the castle where she would rain kisses on him and protect him as he had now become the nation's treasure.

However, she was sure Orion wouldn't like this.

He might like the kissing part but she knew her baby also wanted his freedom and the right to make his own choices as well.

Just because he had become someone extremely important to the kingdom, Evelyn would never want to do anything that would make her baby unhappy.

As long as her precious little baby was happy, Evelyn would always be happy as well. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although she was sad that she had never been able to acquire the rune monarch skill before, she was also extremely proud of her little bundle of joy, and she couldn't wait to rain kisses on his cheeks the moment the tournament was over.

"Hey Evelyn," Ariel called out to Evelyn, dragging Evelyn's attention towards her.

"Hmm?"

"Well, since you're a very busy queen, unlike me. I think your son will best be protected in my-"

"Nope," Evelyn replied, already knowing what Ariel was going to say.

"Huh? No? At least, let me finish."

"Nope, I won't. My baby is the future king of the Kingdom; he'll remain here by my side, so don't worry about his protection; I can handle that perfectly by myself. Thanks for your concern though, you baby stealing Sea goddess."

Hearing this, Ariel clicked her tongue in disappointment. She wasn't happy that her plan hadn't worked, but she wasn't going to give up so soon.

She swiftly leaned closer to Karen, who was sitting right beside her, and she whispered. "Hey Karen, the plan didn't work, what are we going to do now?"

Karen leaned towards Ariel as well and whispered. "We could grab the prince while Queen Evelyn is asleep and–"

"And take him back with us to the kingdom?" Ariel completed what Karen had in mind.

"Indeed, your Majesty."

"Hehe. You see Karen, that's why I like you so much. You always know what to say to make me feel happy."

"Your kind words are wasted on someone as insignificant as me."

"Nonsense, Karen. You're my best friend. Of course, I would be willing to praise you anytime the situation calls for it."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, does this mean you'll grant one of my selfish requests?"

"What is it? I'll at least hear you out first before making a decision."

"Thank you, my friend. Please allow me to become Princess Elena's attendant for just one night."
