However, never did Elvis expect in his whole life that the next time he would be meeting Neldrac would be on a stage where both of them would be standing on opposite sides as enemies. Though there is still no telling for certain yet about that, he already has a really strong feeling deep inside of him that it would truly happen base on the fact alone that the Naughty Elves organization plans to do so. 

As long as it is the Naughty Elves organization, then it is much more feasible to expect for the worst than for things to become better. After all, there is no doubt that they will do everything to bring down the Emerald Tree Kingdom, especially considering that everything that's been going on until now doesn't seem to imply that they plan on conquering this territory like in the past, at all. Probably because they are afraid of history repeating itself once again. 

"Is Neldrac really a Constellation-level Magical Beast...?" Elfin the Fifth asked in doubt. Even though he believes Elvis, he still has trouble accepting the fact that a Beast King Nature Emerald Dragon has long been living in the Emerald Forest that they thought from the day they were born belonged to the Evergreen royal family.

"I am afraid to say so, but yes, Neldrac is indeed a bona fide Constellation-level Magical Beast," Elvis nodded his head with a slightly fearful expression on his face. 

Contrary to Elvis, Charlotte believes, "Neldrac seems to be a really nice Dragon base on your story, and it even sides with the good than the bad. In addition to that, the way Neldrac helped you implies how wise it is. So, why would it still attack us? Especially considering the fact that anyone could easily tell that it has always been the Naughty Elves organization doing all of this from the start. Only fools would do that, which Neldrac isn't one,"

"I agree with Charlotte!" Ethan nodded his head as he added, "It should be possible to negotiate with Neldrac once he comes,"

"I hope so," Elvis said, strongly desiring for what Charlotte had just said to really become a reality. Not because he doesn't want to fight Neldrac, but rather for the sake of the Emerald Tree Kingdom and everyone living in it.

Although the Emerald Tree Kingdom is now significantly bigger, richer, powerful, developed, and competent than in the past, including the time when it was still under the reign of King Elfin the Third, it still stands no chance against Neldrac who is a Constellation-level Magical Beast nonetheless. It is nothing more than wishful thinking if they really believed that they could defeat Neldrac. 

All of a sudden, Elfin the Fifth turned his attention back to his communicator as he listens to the new command of King Elfin the Fourth. 

"Yes... Yes... Affirmative... What?!... Okay... I understand. We will try our best to do that. But..." Before Elfin the Fifth could even finish his line, King Elfin the Fourth had already ended their conversation. This immediately causes his face to turned ugly as he realized that it is already too late for him now to inform his father and change anything. 

"Bad news, father has already left his post at the western region along with Commander Vargas and the other Commanders of the Evergreen royal family. I am guessing that they plan to stop whatever the Naughty Elves organization wants to lure in the Emerald Tree Kingdom," Elfin the Fifth informed Charlotte and the other allies of the bad news. 

"What are you waiting for? Quickly inform him so that we can stop him from killing himself!" Elvis exclaimed loudly as he explained, "This action of King Elfin the Fourth is no different from suicide. So, we should stop them before it is too late,"

With a look of irritation on his face, Elfin the Fifth replied, "Do you really think that I don't know that?! I tried, but father suddenly ended our conversation. And not only that, my communicator has also been blocked by the channel we used to communicate just now," 

"King Elfin the Fourth... he doesn't plan to kill himself, isn't he?" Charlotte couldn't help but ask.

Ethan and the other allies' expressions immediately turned ugly, as if knowing already that things would most likely turn out to be what Charlotte had just said. 

"How frustrating!" Elfin the Fifth started pulling his hair, trying to think of a plan to stop his father from killing himself. 

All of a sudden, a woman's voice sounded in response to Charlotte's question, "He definitely is,"

Instantly, Elfin the Fifth, and Charlotte, and the other allies turned to look at where the voice had come from. To their surprise, it was actually Queen Tina, King Elfin the Fourth's wife and Elfin the Fifth's mother. 

"Mother!" Elfin the Fifth called out. 

"Your Majesty, Queen Tina," Charlotte and the other allies quickly greeted while bowing their heads by a bit. 

"Drop the courtesy, everyone. I am here for a really important matter. To be more precise, I am enraged by my foolish husband's action and all of his yes-man-gang of Commanders," Queen Tina expressed her anger. In spite of that, though, her face was still showing a calm look. Needless to say, this was merely the calm before the storm. 

Behind Queen Tina, Elmore and Madam Flores appeared. 

"Hello everyone," Elmore greeted. 

On the other hand, Madam Flores merely nodded her head to greet everyone. 

Nevertheless, no one felt dissatisfied or offended about it. Well, why would they? Even King Elfin the Fourth or any members of the Evergreen royal family would have to treat Madam Flores with a lot of respect. Not only that, all of the Noble Households wouldn't even dare express their displeasure to her. Let alone them, who has status even lower than the King of the Emerald Tree Kingdom. Of course, this includes Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild as well, as they aren't any special than the others. 

"How may we be of help to you, your Majesty, Queen Tina?" Elvis decided to take the initiative for everyone to ask what Queen Tina was doing here instead of standing guard at her post in the southern region. Not only that, she had even brought both Elmore and Madam Flores, who are assigned to protect the eastern region, along with her. With these three people not present in their respective regions, there is a very high chance for things to go wrong in the eastern region and souther region. 

"Oh, Elvis!" Queen Tina's eyes lightened up in delight as she added, "It is really fortunate that I don't have to look for you anymore,"

Evidently, Queen Tina is more than aware of the fact that being gone from their assigned regions for a long period of time would cause trouble. That's why she was really delighted after knowing that she doesn't need to waste a lot of time looking for Elvis.

"Me?" Elvis asked doubtfully.
