The meeting only ended after more than an hour of continuous discussion.

Afterwards, Ethan and Elaine continued to oversee the construction of the Smiling Lion Village, while on the other hand, Lex and Virgil took Elvis to get to know each other more and to introduce him to the members of the Mischievous Lion Guild from the Smiling Lion group, thus leaving Leo all alone.

"Now then, what should I do next," Leo said to himself while thinking of what other things he should do. After thinking for a bit, he finally remembered that now that he knew a considerable amount of information about both the Emerald Event and Emerald Elven Battle Competition, it's now time to register their participation in the event.

"I guess I still need to go to the Emerald City," Leo finally decided before making his way towards the gate of the Smiling Lion Village.

Suddenly though, before he could take a step forward, the voices that seem to come from hell... He means, from heaven, sounded behind his back.

"Oh, good morning, my Princesses, did all of you have a good night's sleep?" Leo said while smiling faintly.

"Of course," Cassandra nodded his head. But in the next moment, her eyes turned sharp like a dagger as she said with irritation in her voice, "However, someone here suddenly decided not to show up, ruining what should be a good night sleep,"

"Oh, that's really unfortunate... I wonder who that st... stupid person is that didn't show up to 6 beautiful women? If it was me, I would definitely put all the things aside and rush towards all of your embraces," Leo said while pretending to act innocent.

Unfortunately, his plan didn't seem to work as his reply quickly received a cold harrumphed from Cassandra and the others.

"Stop with the act, Leo!" Cassandra exclaimed in irritation. She then quickly added, "Why you didn't show up, ha?"

"I'm so angry with you, I even purposely wore my most beautiful nightgown for the night!" Elizabeth angrily exclaimed.

"Nig... nightgown..." Leo stuttered as he can't help his imagination from quickly running wild. Fortunately, with his strong mental fortitude, he was able to easily stop it before it was too late. He almost brought himself into trouble.

"So did I," Angel nodded her head.

"Including me," Veronica quickly said.

"I, as well," Ash right after added.

"Honestly, all of us were wearing nightgowns for that special occasion," Charlotte followed after with a naughty smile on her face.

"I..."

Leo was immediately rendered speechless with their words. Are women really like this? Seriously, shouldn't it be the men taking the initiative and not the other way around? But thinking about how he had always been trying to avoid such a thing from happening between them, that might just indeed be the exact reason why it has now turned to reverse.

With him understanding the reason why it has turned to be like that, Leo soon after found himself having even more trouble on how he should reply to them. He had already claimed all of them as his women, but he still hasn't officially made them as one yet. If it was a majority of the women, they would have long forced themselves on the man they loved. He's really fortunate that they aren't like that, probably because they knew that he hates troublesome things.

Because of that reason, of course, he can't blame them for demanding an explanation. But likewise, they also can't blame him that he still doesn't want to do it, right?

Deep inside of him, he clearly knew that once he does it with them, he will never be able to avoid doing it more and more in the coming future. But with his current situation right now, he obviously can't have the free time to have that much of a 'fun' yet. Maybe in the nearby future, he will... Or at least until when he found that their situation in the Emerald Tree Kingdom has finally stabilized. Until then, he would fully prioritize first the development of the Mischievous Lion Guild and the Smiling Lion Village.

However, even with that reason he has in his mind, he still needs to give them an explanation... To be more precise, a satisfying reason. No, that's not enough. The appropriate word is a satisfying reason enough to calm the minds of his six women.

"Wait,"

Seemingly out of nowhere, Leo suddenly remembered that Cassandra and the others had mentioned to him in the past that they have already come into an agreement that they will have him for themselves according to an agreed schedule, which if his memory serves him correctly, today should be Elizabeth's schedule, perhaps...

Realizing that, Leo then began speaking, "How about this..."

Cassandra and the other's ears instantly perked up to listen to what Leo was going to say.

"You've already had an agreement in the past, right? About that scheduling-thingy,"

"Yes?"

"Luckily, I'm on my way to Emerald City right now. So, to make it up with all of you, I'll go out on a date today with whoever has the schedule for this day. Sound good?" Leo said as he looked at Cassandra and the others. Deep in his heart, he's hoping that they would all agree with it.

But, looking at their expressions right now, it seems like his proposition is still not enough...

"Still not enough?" Leo thought inside his mind.

"Then... how about the next day, the day after that, the day after the day after that, ayst... you understand what I mean, right? The following days, I will go out on a date with each of you to make up for it, is that enough?" Leo can't help himself from heaving a sigh of helplessness.

Who can he blame for his current situation right now? It's not like he wasn't given a chance in the past not to have a lot of women in his life, right? At that time, if only he sticks with one or two, or at best, three, then it wouldn't have turned out like this.

But in a second thought, he was also not feeling regretful about it, it's just that it's so troublesome, but at the same time, it's also fun as well... or to be more precise, it's oddly satisfying...

And besides, their Strings of Fate connected to him were already destined that they will fall in love with him, so even if he doesn't want them to do that, it would be extremely difficult to change their Fate, and not to mention troublesome as well.

He really can't deny that his life is really complicated right now... And he knew that it's all his fault for making it into something like this.

Hearing Leo's words, Cassandra and the others immediately gathered together and right after began a discussion. In the process, they argued with each other from time to time, debated for a while, repeated again and again, then finally, after a few minutes, they arrived at a conclusion.

"Today would be my schedule," Cassandra said as she stepped forward with a wide smile on her face.

"Wait, wasn't your schedule the last time as well?" Leo curiously asked.

"Well, the last time doesn't count because we were interrupted by the second trap of the Black organization, remember?" Cassandra replied.

"Indeed," Leo nodded his head in understanding. Back then, after Cassandra mentioned about their agreement with Elizabeth and the other women, Jeffrey and the others right after barged inside the room to report about the second trap of the Black organization that instantly interrupted what they were doing or wanted to do.

Since they have already agreed, Leo put his right hand forward and said, "Shall we?"

"Of course!" Cassandra exclaimed in delight.

While holding hands, Leo and Cassandra left the Smiling Lion Village to go towards the Emerald City.

Sadly though, Cassandra was still required to wear the Magic Mantle once again to cover her appearance and thus not invite unwanted trouble for Leo.

Well, the last time Leo went on a date with Cassandra, a small gang suddenly appeared to cause trouble for him. He doesn't want a second of that to happen again. So Cassandra would need to wear the Magic Mantle. It's still alright though since they were still holding hands together.

To guarantee Leo and Cassandra's safety, Ethan ordered Chief Lago, Sebastian, Dan, and old man Torre to secretly followed behind them. Better be safe than sorry, right? Especially with one of Leo's women around...

Since the location of the Smiling Lion Village was outside the Emerald City, Leo and Cassandra had to jump from one tree to another in order to safely travel.

Actually, they could have used horses instead to travel, but Cassandra objected saying that it wouldn't be fun because walking... or jumping from one tree to another, with Leo is much more fun, or what she called as romantic.

Although Leo hates troublesome things, since Cassandra wanted it, he could only helplessly agree with her. Though the main reason was because he wanted to avoid further displeasing her.

Despite using the top of the trees to safely travel, they were still forced to fight some Magical Beasts from time to time. Fortunately, they were only No Star to 2 Star Magical Beasts.

This time, with the strength of Leo and Cassandra combined together, in addition to the Elementals, they were able to defeat them easily and safely continue their journey

Every time they successfully killed a Magical Beast, they would quickly put their carcasses inside their Storage Rings they have brought with them as they intended to sell them once they arrived in Emerald City.

Eventually, Leo started having fun with Cassandra as they enjoyed killing one Magical Beast and another, collecting the loots, and then continuing. They repeated the same action over and over again, until finally, they arrived at Emerald City, specifically the north gate of the Emerald City.
