Looking at Eyvor, I was slightly surprised she actually offered herself; sure, I know she has feelings for me, just like with almost every woman I know, Marley, Idonea, and, well, I can't think of anyone else, but I'm sure there must be more.
"Hmm, you sure, Eyvor? I wouldn't mind having you tend to me, but what about your parents? They aren't going to be happy if they find out you bathed with a man you weren't betrothed to." Questioned Elif with a raised eyebrow as he stood just before the entrance to the bath and looked at Eyvor, who was sporting a deep blush.
"W-Well, y-you're not wrong, Prince Elif, b-but if neither of us s-speak about this, h-how would they e-ever find out? T-This is the Elven Royal Palace, n-not the Fairy Manor." Replied Eyvor as she looked at Elif while slowly approaching him, though she was far too embarrassed to actually look him in the eyes.
"Ho, I didn't know you could be so rebellious, Eyvor; I quite like this side of you." Remarked Elif with a mischievous grin as he grabbed Eyvor's hand, surprising her before leading her into the bath while Illumia just calmly watched in amusement.
'Patriarch Aasveig will be livid if he finds out.' Mused Illumia with a slight smirk as she shook her before standing at her usual post beside the door and closing her eyes.

"Oh my, what a lovely bath." Muttered Eyvor with wide eyes as she stared at the massive and marvelous bathroom, her eyes lingering on the bath that might as well have been a large pond.
"Appreciate the compliment, but we don't have all day, so hurry and get undressed." Said Elif lightly as he entered his closet, searching for some comfortable pants to wear while he bathed.
Since I wasn't bathing with Illumia, Marley, Idonea, or Elaine, I wasn't going to bathe in the nude, and I'm sure Eyvor wasn't going to either; as the current heir to the Fairy Clan, she can't just go around bathing with any man she wants, especially not in the nude.
"Hmm, now that I think about it, If Marley and Idonea hadn't seen me naked, I probably wouldn't have bothered to take the initiative to bath with them naked." Muttered Elif lightly as he grabbed his silk pants, meant explicitly for bathing, though he hadn't worn them since.
Waving my hand, I became fully nude, yet almost immediately after that, my silk pants covered my lower body. Exiting the closet, I had expected to see Eyvor wearing skimpy clothes at best; I didn't think she'd actually be fully unclothed, so when I saw her, I looked at her in slight shock while marveling at her body.
"I-Is s-something t-the matter, P-Prince Elif?" Asked Eyvor in nervousness and embarrassment as she looked away while using her hands to conceal her nether region.
"No, though, I will say, despite having a rather petite body, you do look quite beautiful." Remarked Elif calmly with a raised eyebrow as he walked around Eyvor, observing every inch of her petite body, causing her wings to glow softly in happiness.
"T-Thank you P-Prince Elif, y-you also have a-" Replied Eyvor with a slight bow, Elif's compliment greatly easing her nervousness, though she was interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"-an utterly marvelous, heavenly, and otherworldly beauty? Yes, I already know. There is no need to inform me, Eyvor." Stated Elif narcissistically as he flipped his hair and snapped his fingers while doing a pose, causing his pants to disappear and allowing Eyvor to view him in all of his glory.
"P-Prince Elif, y-y-your pants!" Yelled Eyvor as she quickly covered her eyes, though she couldn't stop herself from peeking through her fingers, eyeing Elif's manhood.
"Yes, I know; I figured it's only fair, considering you are also naked; now then, you can marvel at my body while bathing." Said Elif as he winked at Eyvor before turning and entering the bath, prompting Eyvor to do the same.
Sitting in my usual spot, I rested my arms behind me and leaned back, enjoying the warm water against my skin as it erased any negative emotions within my heart, causing me to release a sigh of relief and pleasure. Summoning a bowl of lightning cherries, I handed them to Eyvor, who had sat down next to me, and she was quick to catch on as she immediately started feeding my lightning cherries.
"Anyways, what were you even doing in my room, Eyvor? Were you hoping for this to happen?" Asked Elif with a smirk as he opened his mouth, to which Eyvor fed him lightning cherries with a smile on her face while constantly glancing at his semi-erect manhood.
"Yes, umm, I mean NO, I mean, I wasn't expecting this to happen, but I was hoping I would get the chance." Replied Eyvor truthfully, nearly dropping the bowl of lightning cherries in the process while Elif chuckled.
"Sure, whatever you say, Eyvor." Said Elif as he sucked on Eyvor's fingers, causing her to pout while her blush deepened.
"Hmph, I was waiting in your room as I wanted to speak with you about the Realm sect, and I was curious when you decided to leave for it." Stated Eyvor with a slight shake of her head as she continuously fed Elif lightning cherries.
"Heh, the Realm sect, I've forgotten about it; when will it stop accepting disciples?" Asked Elif with a raised eyebrow as he looked at Eyvor with a thoughtful expression.
"It opened roughly six years ago, meaning it'll only stay open for another four years; we've got until we've turned twenty before we're no longer allowed access-eek." Replied Eyvor as she closed her eyes and tilted her head, which Elif used as an opportunity to poke her small breasts, causing her to squeal in surprise while he laughed.
"Hehe, four more years? Hmm, I don't know when I'll leave for the Realm sect; what about you?" Questioned Elif lightly while Eyvor just glared at him, using her free hand to cover her breasts.
"I've spoken with Birger, Echo, Goliath, and Shelia about this, and since I brought it up, I figured I should ask you. The four of us have already decided that once Goliath has his coming-of-age birthday, we'll set for the Realm sect a month after; we were hoping you'd join us as well." Said Eyvor seriously while looking at Elif, who was calmly enjoying the bath while being fed food with his eyes closed.
"Don't you mean to say I was hoping you'd join us?" Remarked Elif with a mischievous smirk as he looked at Eyvor, causing her face to twitch in annoyance, though she didn't refute his words.
"Hmm, I don't know, I'll think about it; however, the Realm sect doesn't sound too interesting right now. Only a bunch of boring weaklings are there, and I don't have much desire to go if there isn't anything of interest." Added Elif with a slight frown as he looked at the ceiling, only to look at Eyvor when he felt her head rubbing against his chest.
"W-What if I m-make you c-change y-your mind?" Asked Eyvor sensually as she tried to seduce Elif; though her nervousness wasn't helping her, it merely caused him to smirk in amusement.
"You should stick to illusions; seduction is not your forte, Eyvor. Though, I'm curious: What do you have in mind? How were you going to tempt me?" Said Elif calmly, causing Eyvor to sigh in defeat, only for Elif to wrap his arm around her shoulders, embracing her as he leaned in closer.
Seeing her too flustered to even respond despite having just tried to seduce me caused me to chuckle internally.
"Maybe you were going to do this?" Muttered Elif sensually as he whispered in Eyvor's ear before kissing her cheek, causing not only her cheeks and ears but even her wings to flush red from pure embarrassment and joy.
'Hehe, this is quite fun; it's been some time since I've teased someone to the point where they can't even react; Marley, idonea, and Mandy have gotten too resistant to my flirting.' Mused Elif with a smirk as he teased and flirted with Eyvor for the rest of the bath.

Exiting the bath, I dried myself with my Qi and snapped my fingers, causing my royal garments to appear back on my body before I turned around and looked at Eyvor, who was still sitting in the bath.
"You going to leave?" Asked Elif as he looked at the almost fully red Eyvor, though he got no response.
Chuckling, I turned back around, exiting the bath, and thankfully, there wasn't a certain nympho woman waiting for me.
"Where is Miss Eyvor, your Highness?" Asked Illumia as she looked at Elif with a raised eyebrow, to which he smirked while pointing at the door behind him.
"She's still in there, broke down after being unable to handle my flirting." Replied Elif lightly as he passed Illumia and exited his room while Illumia followed behind him.
Walking through the palace, I spread my divine sense throughout the entirety of Yggdrasil while avoiding a few places, like the noble estates, but other than that, everything was within my divine sense.
'Hmm, Birger and Sarah are in Yggdrasil; Echo is unsurprisingly at the royal training grounds, Nerthus is speaking with Patriarch and Matriarch Aasveig, and Krodh. I can't find Elaine, so she's probably out of the City. What to do, what to do.' Thought Elif with a thoughtful expression for a little bit before recalling his divine sense and turning right.
"Let's go to the royal training grounds; I haven't done any sparing today yet." Said Elif while Illumia nodded in response.
