Being considerably far away from the Evergreen royal family\'s castle though, Leo and the others were only informed by Madam Flores\' assistant, Bagley, who disguised his trip to the Smiling Lion Village by sending all of the weapons and items that they will be sponsoring to the Mischievous Lion Guild in preparation for the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, that their plan of sneaking Elvis to the castle has ended successfully with not even a slightest mishap. 

Bagley has arrived in the Smiling Lion Village when Leo and the others finally returned back from their trip to Emerald City, which was pretty much evening already.

Their reason for returning in the evening was no longer only because they wanted to waste the time of the members of the Naughty Elves organization who were still secretly following behind them, but also because they have decided that since they have a lot of free time to spend already, then they might as well go on and continue exploring around the Emerald City.

They could also use this free time to relax themselves after spending nearly a month\'s worth of time doing a lot of stressful things for the development of the Mischievous Lion Guild, which in the end, was worth all of the efforts and time that they have invested.

Aside from that, Leo had decided to use today\'s free time as an opportunity to personally search for other people with a green-colored String of Fate attached to them. But unfortunately, he had ended not finding anyone else anymore no matter how hard he searched for them. 

The people that he had found so far are pretty much the only people in the entire Emerald City that exist who have a green-colored String of Fate attached to them. 

And as for the other cities in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, that would be left to be discovered later on when he finally visits them.

This was totally within his expectations though, as he didn\'t really believe that finding people with a green-colored String of Fate attached to them would be so easy. In fact, the previous times that he had found them were all merely a bunch of coincidences... Or to be more precise was destined by Fate from the very beginning. 

Every single situation where Fate is involved are completely not within his control, and the moment he finally realized it to be the case, it was already too late for him to change anything about it.

An example of such a kind of situation was when he found Cassandra. At that time, he is completely aware of the trouble that she would be bringing to them, especially to him. But in spite of all of those, he still decided to bring her along with them. 

Fate is an extremely difficult thing to change, and even though he is the holder of the Cube of Fate and the chosen one of the God of Fate as well, it doesn\'t necessarily mean that he could control Fate in any way that he wanted, let alone change it as well, even if he is already aware of what will likely happen in the future.

"Was there really no custom-made suits and dresses prepared for us in the Elves Secret organization?" Leo asked in curiosity. 

"It seems like you already found out Orcborg\'s purpose," Bagley smiled in response. 

"Not really," Leo shook his head, he continued, "It was more like he is the one who revealed it to me,"

"Hmmm..." Bagley expressed his understanding. He then said, "Orcborg and a few others from the Red Fist Guild are actually long already been a part of the alliance that was created by the Evergreen royal family. But his existence is only somewhat similar to yours. In his case, no one aside from a few chosen people knows about his identity in the alliance. In fact, most of the people that know about his identity are chosen by him personally,"

"Including the Naughty Elves organization?" Leo asked in doubt. 

"Yes, including them," Bagley nodded his head, he quickly explained, "In all of the previous Emerald Elven Battle Competition that Orcborg\'s Red Fist Guild had participated in the past, their methods in order to eliminate the members of the Naughty Elves organization has always been very brute and direct. They basically don\'t bother with hiding their real intentions of killing them. However, they don\'t differentiate between enemies and allies. As long as they stumbled upon any of the other participants, those people would either be facing elimination or death,"

"Very wise," Leo said in approval. No wonder Orcborg was able to remain his identity hidden. With the people he had sent not deliberately attacking a single side only, their position would no doubt only be assumed as neutral by the Naughty Elves organization. 

"Guild Leader Loki, we have already recorded everything," Ethan interrupted in their conversation to inform Leo that their job is finally complete.

"It seems like our conversation would have to end here for today, Guild Leader Loki," Bagley said courteously. 

"No problem, there are still plenty of opportunities for us to continue with our conversation," Leo really doesn\'t mind that their conversation would have to end here today. After all, there would definitely be plenty of things to talk about during the Emerald Elven Battle Competition.

"Indeed," Bagley agreed, he quickly continued, "Let\'s see each other again during the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, Guild Leader Loki," 

Seeing Bagley leave, Leo then quickly ordered Ethan and the others to bring the weapons that the Elves Secret organization have sent to the warehouse located in the underground facility. 

He had already checked all of the weapons that the Elves Secret organization had given to them through the list that Bagley had handed to him, and the majority of them were very important and crucial for the secret plan during the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. He absolutely can\'t allow just anyone else to see them, including most of the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild. 

Although currently none of the members in the Mischievous Lion Guild had a black-colored String of Fate attached to them, they also don\'t have a green-colored String of Fate attached to them as well. Meaning to say, they are neither allies nor enemies. To be more precise, they are neutrals. 

And since they are only considered as neutrals, there is an equal amount of chances for them to either have a black-colored String of Fate or a green-colored String of Fate in the future. 

However, considering that the Naughty Elves organization has more methods to convert them into one of their members or to just simply make them remain neutral compared to making them into his allies, then the possibility of them betraying the Mischievous Lion Guild is really high. 

Such a possibility is something he can\'t afford to risk nor would he choose to risk it with his extremely cautious character. That\'s why he decided that it is much better to store these weapons in the warehouse located inside the underground facility where only the core members of the Mischievous Lion Guild know about.

After doing every work that they needed to finish for this day, everyone else then went to eat their dinner and went to sleep later on, at least only some of them because others still need to stay for the night to guard and protect the Smiling Lion Village. 

The next morning, as soon as everyone finished eating their breakfast, they immediately started preparing for the ball in the Evergreen royal family\'s castle that will begin in the evening. 

The ones who were busy the most were Cassandra and the others as they decided to fix their make-ups and other things to make themselves look as perfect as possible for this ball. The reason for this was because starting today... Or at least, starting tonight, there is no longer any need for them to hide their appearance. 

Indeed, Leo had finally decided to allow Cassandra and the others to show their appearance to everyone. 

Honestly, this was only because the day that they would be leaving the Emerald Tree Kingdom is now close. From the moment the Emerald Elven Battle Competition begins, there would only be more or less a month left in their stay in the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

Additionally, there are only a few considerable opportunities for some people to be able to really cause any sort of trouble to him because Cassandra and the others would be spending the majority of their time participating in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. 

Although those participants in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition could also cause them trouble, but at least there would only be a few of them that they would have to worry about. Unlike worrying about the majority of the people in the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom. This was also the same logic in the previous reason; instead of worrying for two months or so, it is much better to only worry for more or less a month. In other words, even though there is still trouble, at least he had minimized the degree of trouble that he would be facing.. In such a way, he is not entirely making Cassandra and the others feel displeased, but also equally making them feel satisfied as well.
