After saying my farewells to Elaine, Mother, Father, Grandfather, and Grandmother, my servants promptly entered the carriage and sat down opposite of me, except for Illumia, who sat beside me while I rested my head on her lap, though only after the door closed, lest Elaine sees. With two beautiful neighs, Zulo and Zala began to pull the carriage, walking down the road as we eventually passed the gate, exiting the royal rounds and stepping into Yggdrasil.
Once we had traveled a certain distance, our speed rapidly increased from a slow walk to a gallop, causing the scenery to turn into nothing but a blur, though it didn't last for long as a few seconds later, we suddenly came to a halt while standing directly outside a noble's estate.
"If you'll excuse me, your Highness." Said Marley as she stood up and slightly bowed before exiting the carriage while Elif dismissively nodded.
While Marley was going to acquire Sarah, I opened my eyes and looked up at Illumia; well, I at least tried to; her large chest happened to conceal her face from this angle.
"Hmm, they truly are big for no reason." Muttered Elif lightly with a raised eyebrow as he groped Illumia's chest, moving it about to his liking, causing her to faintly blush while still retaining her professionalism.
"Lucky." Muttered Idonea with an envious gaze as she looked at Illumia before glancing at her small chest, only to sigh in defeat.
Releasing Illumia's soft, squishy breasts, I continued to rest while enjoying the silence, which I'm sure will be a hard thing to acquire once Sarah and Marley return; after another minute of waiting, the door was suddenly opened as two sisters entered the carriage.
"Ah, Your Highness! Great to see you!" Said Sarah loudly with a joyful smile as she picked up Elif's legs before resting them on her lap while Marley slightly bowed.
"Sarah Eve has arrived, your Highness." Said Marley respectfully as she sat down opposite Sarah, giving her a slightly annoyed look.
"Yes, I can see that, Marley; it's hard for one to imitate Sarah's voice. Besides, how many would dare grab Prince's legs so casually?" Remarked Elif lightly with a nod as he opened his eyes and looked at Marley before glancing at Sarah, who pouted.
"Hmm, but Marley said you enjoy this, your Highness. Do you not?" Asked Sarah curiously as she massaged Elif's bare feet, though before he could respond, her hands were suddenly slapped away.
"No, you're doing it wrong, Sarah, that's not how you massage His Highness. You need to do it like this: watch closely." Stated Marley with a slight frown as she kneeled in front of Sarah before grabbing Elif's feet and gently massaging them, showcasing the skill she's refined over the years.
"Ahh, now that is how you massage someone." Muttered Elif with a pleasant sigh as he closed his eyes, enjoying Marley's dainty fingers pleasuring the soles of his feet, only for his face to suddenly twitch.
"Marley, I'm no masseuse, but I'm rather confident this isn't how you massage someone." Added Elif with a twitching expression as he opened his eyes and gazed down at Marley, who was gently licking his feet with a slight fervor look.
"O-Of course not, Your Highness. Normal masseuses would never do this, b-but you're the Prince, so you deserve such royal treatment." Declared Marley with a slight blush as she cleared her throat while looking at Elif, who furrowed his brows.
"Marley, you know I don't like lying." Said Elif sternly, his words causing Marley to sigh while a shameful blush adorned her cheeks.
"I-I apologize; I-I just really wanted to lick your feet, Your Highness." Said Marley with a shameful yet lustful expression as she looked at Elif, while Idonea and Sarah stared at her in disbelief.
"Haa, this Sister of mine is always so horny, I find it hard to fathom you're an Elf." "Hmph, this is merely the tip of the iceberg, Sarah." Said Sarah and Idonea, respectively, as they both looked at Marley, who was hungrily staring at Elif's feet, just waiting to clean them with her tongue.
"Y-You two can't blame me when you're the servant of the sexiest man in existence; this is expected, not to mention just recently, his Highness's appearance somehow improved even further! Besides, you're one to talk, Idonea; you can be just as lustful as me." Remarked Marley with a faint blush as she glanced between Idonea and Sarah, only for her to glare at the latter, causing her awkwardly to look away.
"I-I will not deny that, yet, unlike you, I can at least stay professional; compared to Ms. Illumia and I, you're a rather sorry excuse for a servant." Declared Idonea firmly with a faint blush as she glanced at Elif before staring at Marley, who clicked her tongue in annoyance.
"Well, I'm sorry, okay? Some of us are just naturally more sexually aroused than others; what do you want me to do? Besides, his Highness doesn't seem to be bothered by my obvious advances, and whenever he is, I'll immediately stop; I know my limits." Stated Marley with a huff of annoyance as she rolled her eyes and side-glanced Idonea while continuing to gently lick Elif's feet.
"That is true, Idonea; Marley is very aware of what I find acceptable, and licking my feet is directly on the cusp, which is most likely why she tried to spin the truth." Remarked Elif softly as he glanced at Idonea before looking at Marley, who sheepishly smiled while massaging him, if you could call it such.
"Um, should we discuss these sorts of things when Ember is here?" Asked Sara lightly as she glanced at Ember, who was deeply blushing while sitting in the corner, her words causing everyone to glance at her.
"Hmm, yes, I don't see the problem, so why not? Whether Ember is young or not doesn't really make a difference; every woman desires me just as much as the next one." Declared Elif narcissistically with a smirk as he winked at Ember, whose blush deepened even further, causing even her fiery green hair to take on a brownish hue.
"Besides, thanks to your elder sister, her head has been filled with erotic, naughty, and lewd thoughts regarding his Highness. I wouldn't even put it past her to secretly show Ember those images of His Highness." Said Idonea with a slight frown, her words causing Sarah to blush faintly and smirk while glancing at Elif.
"Eh, i-images? W-What images, M-Ms Idonea?" Asked Ember lightly as she turned and eyed Idonea, who refused to elaborate, prompting her to look at Marley with hopeful eyes.
'Hehe, I'll show you them later.' Said Marley with a wink via divine sense, her words causing Ember to eagerly nod, only for Elif to suddenly snap his fingers.
"You're not to show those images unless Ember becomes an official servant of mine, understand, Marley?" Said Elif firmly as he narrowed his eyes at Marley, who nodded before giving Ember an apologetic look.
"You should create a soul link with those crystal balls now that we're heading to the realm sect; if you happened to be killed, it would be rather unfortunate if His Highness's images were revealed to the public." Stated Illumia solemnly as she opened her eyes and glanced at Marley, who furrowed her brows before nodding.
"Yes, you're right; thank you for reminding me, Ms. Illumia. A-Also, regarding those images, w-would you like some for your own use?" Remarked Marley with a nod as she stopped 'massaging' Elif while looking in her dimension ring, only to glance back at Illumia, who shook her head.
"No, I am good. I can peer through his clothes with my divine sense whenever I please." Said Illumia softly with a shake of her head, her words causing the woman to slightly widen their eyes before simultaneously clicking their tongue.
"Ho, I knew you could do such a thing, Illumia, but I never imagined my bland-faced maid would partake in such actions. Tell me, how many times have you done so?" Stated Elif with a raised eyebrow as he looked up at Illumia, who faintly smirked.
"Hmm, a few." Replied Illumia calmly with a mischievous smirk, her words causing Elif to chuckle.
"A few huh? I have a feeling it's more than just a few, but I do not mind; enjoy the heavenly brilliance that is my beautiful body until you're satisfied." Said Elif with a faint grin as he closed his eyes and rested while Marley continued 'massaging' him.

"You're Highness, Eyvor, Echo, Goliath, and Shelia are arriving." Said Illumia softly, her voice penetrating the door and entering the room.
Lowering myself onto my bed, I ended my cultivation session and opened my eyes as I stood up and approached the door; exiting my room, I sat down next to Ember before placing her on my lap as I stroked her fiery green hair.
"Where are they?" Asked Elif with a raised eyebrow as he glanced at Illumia before looking out the window, eyeing the massive mountain range they were floating above.
"They're coming from the south and shall be here within a minute's time." Replied Illumia lightly, her words causing Elif to nod while he continued to stroke Ember, who had transformed into her true form.
It's been roughly a week since we departed from the Elven Empire, and it should only be about a few more days until we arrive at the Realm sect, though since I had agreed to join Eyvor, Echo, Shelia, and Goliath, we shall all be arriving together, which will essentially let everyone within the Realm sect to know we're allies.
'Though, in reality, they're really my followers, if anything.' Mused Elif lightly as he gently stroked Ember's small, fiery frame.
