Chapter 68. NET {27}:- Kami-No-Kai.
"Are you a Kami-no-kai?" Ariel asked Mia.
Mia turned to her right to look into Ariel's eyes before answering. "No, but Mama is."
"Your mother?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Yes, Mama is currently the leader of all the other Kami-No-Kais," Mia replied honestly before returning her attention back to Orion in the arena.
Hearing this, Ariel's eyes widened in surprise.
She wondered how a young elf-like Orion could have had the potential to summon the daughter of a Kami-No-Kai, and it wasn't just any Kami-No-Kai; Orion was actually contracted to the daughter of the strongest one.
A Kami-No-Kai was the title given to those recognized as gods of the spirit realm.
There were over twenty Kami-No-Kais, with each of them ruling over different clans across the spirit realm.
The spirit realm was five times bigger than the mortal realm and this was why it had over twenty individuals recognized as its deity.
If Mia's mother was the strongest Kami-No-Kai in the spirit realm, Ariel had no doubt that Mia's mother would definitely be the queen of her clan, and that would make Mia the current princess of the Kitsune clan.
Not only was the elf prince a rune monarch, but he also had the princess of the Kitsune clan as his spirit guardian.
"No matter how I look at it, this young prince is too amazing," Ariel muttered under her breath but Evelyn heard every word she said and giggled before saying.
"Ufufufu--- he has an amazing mother as well."
Ariel wasn't surprised when she heard Evelyn's words, she simply rolled her eyes before saying. "Yeah, yeah. I can see you're really proud of your son, that's good for you."
"Jealous?" Evelyn giggled while covering her mouth.
"Nope, I am–"
"Your Majesty, if you want to have a baby, we could return back to the kingdom and find you a suitable partner."
"Not interested. But seriously Karen, why do you want me to have a husband so badly? Did that old fish promise to reward you handsomely if I got married?"
"....." Karen began whistling to herself while averting her eyes, to avoid making eye contact with Ariel.
"You backstabbing Kraken. You and I definitely need to talk after this tournament."
Beads of sweat accumulated on Karen's forehead and she gulped loudly, knowing that Ariel was definitely not going to talk to her after the tournament.
Meanwhile, Ariel returned her gaze back to the arena.
Her eyes scanned through the spectators cheering and praising the prince and she suddenly noticed something.
"Why aren't there any snow elves watching the fights?"
"That's because they're still in the Northlands," Evelyn replied.
The Northlands was the coldest region in the elf kingdom.
Something happened in the past, involving the snow elf race, and Evelyn restricted them all to the Northlands, with the order that any snow elf should be killed if found outside the Northland borders.
"The Northlands? Evelyn, are you still mad at them for what they did?"
"Maybe."
"But, it's been years since they betrayed your kind, don't you think it's time you gave them a second chance?"
"I'll decide when the time is right."
In the past, the snow elves had sided with a certain elf race to capture a lot of forest elves, moon elves, and dark elves.
The captured elves were offered to Damien Salvatore, and he carried out various runic experiments on them.
At the time, Evelyn and Elena were very young, so there was little they could do to prevent so many elves from losing their lives.
When they grew strong enough to make a difference, Evelyn and Elena fought hard to chase Damien's men away from the kingdom, and they banished the elf race who sided with the snow elves.
As for the snow elves, Evelyn ordered them to remain secluded in the Northlands.
The reason why she didn't banish the snow elves was because the blood elves betrayed them even though they were supposed to be working together, and since then, the snow elves have remained in the Northlands.
"Anyways, what about your mother, is she back yet?"
"No, she isn't."
Evelyn and Elena's mother had left the kingdom in search of an elf.
She's currently going around the world, in search of that elf, and she hadn't seen nor heard about her grandson, Orion.
However, Evelyn and Elena hoped that one day, she would return back to the kingdom to see Orion.
They were confident Orion would like his grandmother, just as much as they cared about her as well.
The room became silent as everyone pondered different things.
After a few minutes, Evelyn spoke to Ariel.
"To be honest, I'm surprised you didn't pay Cleo a visit before coming here."
Cleo was currently the queen of the dead, and just like the Phantom Empress, Cleo was also a really close friend to both Evelyn and Ariel.
"I did, but the b*tch said she was busy right now and couldn't accompany me here. I didn't bother saying anything to Spooky though."
"Spooky?"
"Yeah, that's what I'm gonna call her from now on because she gives me the creeps."
Understanding what Ariel was saying, Evelyn giggled to herself.
She found it hilarious to see Ariel referring to the Phantom Empress as Spooky. "Ufufu, Spooky has a name you know."
"Who cares, it still won't change the fact that she gives me the creeps. Anyways, you really need to watch your son closely. The blood elves might come for him as revenge for what you did to them in the past."
"If they do come, then we'll be ready for them," Elena replied before Evelyn could.
"I know, but don't you think the prince will be safer with me?"
"Nice try, Ariel, but my baby belongs with me. I'll protect him myself."
"Tsk, so close," Ariel clicked her tongue, and Evelyn giggled once again.
Everyone chatted amongst each other before watching the final battle of the adult tournament section, and everyone in the arena couldn't wait to see who would win tomorrow's fight when the Junior Noble Elf Tournament's top three went against the top three of the adult section.
