As soon as the carriage arrived, Elmont and Darvis immediately got inside, and the carriage then began moving again, this time it was towards the Smiling Lion Village.
Along the way, Leo, Elmont, General Luke, and Darvis began talking about the progress of Elmont\'s relationship with Selina.
"So, where did the two of you suddenly disappeared last night?" Leo curiously asked with a hidden meaning behind the tone of his voice.
"Oh, you
obviously don\'t know this because only a few people living in the Evergreen royal family\'s castle knew about this secret location-" Elmont wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted.
"A secret location? We think we know already what the two of you were doing in such a secret location," Darvis said as he winked his eyes at Elmont and gave him a thumbs-up as if saying to him, \'Good job!\'.
"Congratulations, Seventh Prince Elmont," General Luke said in delight.
Hearing both Darvis and General Luke\'s words, Elmont\'s immediately redden as he waves one of his hand and explained, "You guys misunderstood, we didn\'t do anything perverted,"
"Is that so?" Darvis really doesn\'t believe what Elmont was saying. He shouldered General Luke\'s side to ask for support.
Quickly understanding what Darvis want, General Luke said, "That\'s impossible, Seventh Prince Elmont. No one would go in a secret location and not do anything, especially if it is right in the middle of the night,"
"I promise, we really didn\'t do anything else!" Elmont voiced out his defense, he explained, "That place that we went to last night was a place I called as Sky Viewing Well. It is not really a well, but rather a rock formation that forms a circle, thus looking as if a well. Inside that well, we can see a much more beautiful view of the sky compared to the other parts of the lake, that\'s why I call it the Sky Viewing Well,"
"When I was still a kid, I used to go there to enjoy looking at the stars that seem to be within my reach. So, after we finished eating our dinner last night, I took Selina to that place to enjoy the view of the stars as well," Elmont finished explaining.
"I have lived in the Evergreen royal family\'s castle for more than a decade now, but why do I still not know that such a place actually exists?" Darvis asked.
"Same," General Luke nodded his head in agreement, he continued, "I might not be able to claim that I have searched the entire castle, but I have visited almost all the places one could find, yet I also don\'t know about this so-called Sky Viewing Well,"
"Naturally, you won\'t be able to find the Sky Viewing Well, because that place is not located in the surface area," Elmont said as he pointed towards where the reflection of the sun on the lake could be seen as he continued, "It is located underwater,"
"Underwater?"
Both General Luke and Darvis turned to look at each other, the look of shock was evidently seen on their faces.
At the side, Leo was also a bit surprised as he didn\'t expect that the Sky Viewing Well that Elmont had mentioned was actually located underwater.
"Yes," Elmont nodded his head, he explained, "There is a cave located below the northbridge, which we used to believe to be a dead-end. However, due to an accident when I was still a kid where I nearly drowned in the lake, I found a mysterious hole where the water from the lake couldn\'t shockingly flow inside. It was a really peculiar place but yet consequently a beautiful one. And because it was my only way to save myself, I didn\'t hesitate to jump inside that hole,"
"There was only a single path in that hole, and coincidentally it leads towards the end of that cave under the northbridge. I created a small hole in the wall of the cave and covered it with a big stone to hide that secret place. And from then on, whenever I missed seeing the stars, I always visit that place to look at the beautiful night sky," Elmont concluded with a smile on his face. But he then reminded everyone, "Now that you know about that place, please keep it to yourselves and only let people important to you know about it. I don\'t want the secret beauty of that place to be discovered by just any random people. I hope that you can understand me,"
"No problem, Seventh Prince Elmont. I assure you that aside from my wife, I will not tell another soul about this place that you called the Sky Viewing Well," Darvis replied in assurance.
"Now that I know about the Sky Viewing Well, I will tell my King Carrier Turtle living in the lake to guard and protect it from getting destroyed!" General Luke said as he put his fist on his heart.
"I won\'t be visiting the Evergreen royal family\'s castle that much, so you don\'t have to worry about me," Leo said.
"Thank you," Elmont expressed his gratefulness, he continued, "Anyways, I feel like there is a great secret hidden in that place, so if ever you find out about it, please do tell me. I promise to you that I will not take it away from you, I simply want to know because I\'m really curious about it after visiting that place from when I was still a child until this present day,"
"A secret, hmmm...? No problem! I am a Blacksmith, so unless it can be made into a weapon or can help me make a weapon, anything else would be of no use to me," Darvis replied in assurance for the second time.
"As if I can betray the Evergreen royal family, right?" General Luke can\'t help but find Elmont\'s request a bit hilarious to listen to. After all, as one of the Generals of the Evergreen royal family, not to mention that King Elfin the Fourth greatly favored him, he would absolutely give his best to help them.
This time, Leo chooses to not reply to Elmont anymore. Not because he secretly wants to steal this secret for himself, if ever there is indeed any, without letting anyone know about it, but rather because, just like what he had said just now, he won\'t be visiting the Evergreen royal family\'s castle that much. So, he won\'t be able to help Elmont.
Leo and the others continued talking until they finally arrived in the Smiling Lion Village.
Unlike before, the Smiling Lion Village is much more livelier now that all of the establishments were finished construction.
Many members of the Mischievous Lion Guild who didn\'t get to join the operation to catch a Galaxy-level Magical Beast in the Vineyard Garden were already awake and doing something.
A great number of visitors were also present and walking around the Smiling Lion Village. Some were checking the Public Market, inside the Tavern, or in the Gambling House, while the majority of others were inside the arena, watching people fight with each other.
Just like what everyone had expected during the construction, the Entertainment Center indeed became the most famous attraction of the Smiling Lion Village. Almost everyone that visits this territory goes there to have fun and enjoy themselves. All sorts of fun-related establishments exist over there, which would cause anyone to never feel bored.
And through this, the Mischievous Lion Guild is earning a steady stream of income.
Last but not the least, recruitment to join the Mischievous Lion Guild could be heard almost in every corner of the Smiling Lion Village.
A huge flock of people could be seen gathering around every person who is making the recruitment to join the Mischievous Lion Guild, those people are obviously interested in joining the Mischievous Lion Guild.
"What a lively territory you have here, Guild Leader Loki," Elmont can\'t help but compliment after seeing such a lively sight, he added, "It is really unlike the Evergreen royal family\'s castle where only a few people could be seen walking around,"
"That\'s exactly what you should expect, Seventh Prince Elmont," Darvis really wants to roll his eyes after hearing Elmont\'s words. If only he wasn\'t the Seventh Prince, he would definitely throw insults to his stupidity. That place contains a lot of sensitive and confidential information about the Emerald Tree Kingdom, so that place should naturally only be visited by a few people.
"Of course, I know that," Elmont rolled his eyes at Darvis, he explained, "The castle is obviously off-limits, but the surrounding of the lake is pretty much just a small forest with nothing else to see aside from trees, at all. If only father allowed some people to live nearby the lake, then the castle would definitely be more livelier than the Smiling Lion Village or any other places in the Emerald Tree Kingdom,"
"I quite agree with your words, Brother Elmont," Leo nodded his head in agreement. Indeed, Uncle Elfin should allow establishments, even only a few, around the lake so that it wouldn\'t feel so empty. It is really a great pity on that place because what\'s the use of having a really beautiful lake when only a few people could view it, right?
Unlike the Sky Viewing Well that Elmont had mentioned, the beautiful lake around the Evergreen royal family\'s castle doesn\'t need to only be known by a few people.
It should be made into one of the popular attractions of Emerald City in order to attract more people to come.
As long as a certain distance around the Evergreen royal family\'s castle is guarded well, then it wouldn\'t post that much of a problem to them, at all.
"Anyways, follow me, I\'ll take you to see first to where we have kept the five 8-Star Storm Sparrows.. Then after that, I will tour you around the Smiling Lion Village," Leo said as he began leading the way towards the Magical Beasts Center.
