“I apologize in advance if my question hurts anyone’s feelings. I am just asking it because I am curious. Why are Mr. Lukas’s hair and pupil color black?”
“That’s because I am Night Elf.”
“Night elf?” Aditya has never heard of this term before. He knew that just like the beast race, the elves also had some variations. He had heard of Moon Elf, Sea Elf, High Elf, Royal Elf, and Elven King or queen. But he never had heard of Night elf before.
“Night elves are extremely rare these days. It is said that all the different variations of elves have the same origin. Hundreds of thousands of years ago new variations of elves began appearing. While most of those elf variations disappeared over time, some remained to this day. Night elf is one of those variations.”
“Being Night elf, every one of us has the racial power to see in the darkness. In fact, at night times, our powers, stats, healing speed, cultivation speed, everything is boosted by 25%. While normal elves have blond hair and green pupils, we Night elf has black hair and black pupils.”
“Lukas is from the beast continent. Many years ago he and his family moved to the Dying Isle continent and settled down in this city. In this age, not many people know about Night elves as Night elves are considered an extinct race. In this whole world, only a few thousand-night elves are left.” Julia explained the rest.
‘Since all elves have a low birth ratio, the Night elves if even if wanted to would probably take them thousand years if not more than ten thousand years to grow in numbers.’ All elves, dragons, Vampires, dwarves, and other powerful races had low birth rates. Only humans had the highest birth rate while dragons had the lowest.
‘I don’t even want to know how hard I will have to work to produce a child. Since my dragon bloodline is heavenly, it will be even more difficult for more to get a child.’ And there was a chance that upon reaching 3rd-order his bloodline will evolve once again. Just thinking about the whole thing Aditya was already having a headache.
“I see. By the way, where are we going?” Aditya asked.
“Hehe! Today we’re going to the most expensive restaurant in the city. We must celebrate. Finally, our sister got a fiancé. Here I was starting to think that she will remain single her whole life.” Kayla had a big smile on her face.
In the noble circle, most tend to get engaged before the age of 15 and get married when they reach the age of 18 or 20. Although Julia got hundreds of marriage offers, her parents rejected them even without wasting a second.
“If we’re going to the most expensive restaurant in the whole city, you’re the one who is going to pay.” Monica wasn’t going to allow anyone other than Kayla to pay.
“Kayla is the daughter of the richest merchant in the kingdom” Julia leaned on his chest and whispered into his right ear.
“I see.”
To Aditya and Julia, this act might not look too much but her friends could see just close both Aditya and Julia were.
On the way, everyone talked about various things. It was mostly the girls who spoke while the boyfriend kept quiet and let their girlfriends enjoy their girl time.
After some time Aditya learned after everyone here had an extraordinary background. Kayla was the daughter of the richest merchant in this kingdom. Monica was the daughter of a marquess. Naomi’s father owned a chain of hundreds of restaurants spread all over the Kingdom of Echo Dominion.
As for their boyfriends, David was the son of the marquess. Lukas the next ruler of Night Elf. While Luis was the son of a rich merchant. Luis was considered a cultivation genius to be able to reach beginner 3rd-order in such shortage.

“My carriage is here. I apologize but today we will have to take our leave.” Naomi, the daughter of the viscount had to take her to leave as her carriage had arrived.
“Goodbye, Julia. I will see you on your birthday.” Naomi gave a simple hug to Aditya while Aditya and Luis shook hands with smiles on their faces.
After spending a few hours and having dinner with everyone, Aditya had a good impression of everyone. Each of her friends had a unique and interesting personality. Aditya always thought that socializing with nobles would be showing off, but today he learned how wrong he was. He genuinely enjoyed his time.
One by one everyone left the restaurant in their carriages. “Shall we head home?” Julia nodded.
After getting inside the carriage, Aditya simply sat on the couch feeling a little exhausted. to him socializing always has been exhausting. Aditya had to make sure to not embarrass Julia in front of her friend.
“You did well today.”
Aditya looked at Julia, today she had drunk a little wine. She was lazily leaning on the couch while keeping her eyes on him. In her eyes, he always looked the most handsome.
“I think you deserve a reward for being a good boy.” Aditya gulped seeing her red lips. She slowly bought her body toward him. Aditya excitedly leaned forward and closed his eyes.
Bite!
Instead of getting kissed, what he received was a bite. In an instant, all of his fantasies shattered like glass. “Why are you biting me?”
“Hmph! You deserve it.”
“You know what let me bite you as well.”
“Kyaaa!!! You hooligan” Ignoring her protest, he made her sit on his lap.
“I will kill you 100 times.”
With his strong arms, he held her soft and slim waist so that she does not fall down while trying to bite him. “Princess, can you please stop? I am not a Masochist.”
Bite!
“Hey! Stop ruining my face.” Aditya’s protests did not work at all.
After an hour, Aditya and Julia waited for the door to be opened.
Click!
“We’re home”
“Welcome back.”
、 “Oh my, Aditya what happened to your face? You look horrible.” There were bite marks all over his face. At this point, he didn’t even feel any pain from her bites.
Hearing her mother’s words, Julia lowered her head feeling guilty. Aditya glanced at Julia for a second before replying. “Well, some wild dog decided to bite my face 100 times.”
Seeing her daughter’s red face, Sophie instantly understood what was going on. “Did the two of you have dinner yet?” It was already 9 o’clock. By this time, Sophie, Adam, and Zak must have also had their dinner.
“If you’re hungry I can cook you something delicious.”
“No aunty. We had dinner.” Aditya couldn’t help but sigh secretly. If only Julia had the same gentleness as her mother.
“Alright, then you should go to bed.”
“Goodnight mom.” Julia was about to leave but her mother stopped her. “You wait here.” Aditya quickly returned to his room. For some reason, he knew that Julia was going to be scolded.

Knock! Knock!
“Come in”
Click!
Opening the door, the princess could be seen standing with a glass bowl filled with some strange green cream. “Hmph!” She angrily snorted before walking in.
Aditya was currently in his pajamas. He currently was drawing runes on a golden shield. Julia sat on the bed and observed him. This was the first time she had seen him engraving runes on weapons.
She has to admit seeing his drawn runes on the golden shield gave her a peaceful feeling. She began feeling calm. She started to feel dazed watching Aditya elegantly drawing runes. Even though she cannot understand a single thing about runes, Julia strangely felt like she could keep watching him drawing runes forever.
30 minutes passed very quickly. While Aditya was very focused on drawing runes, Julia was dazed watching him.
Aditya put the golden shield down and glanced at Julia. “Why are you here?”
“Mom ordered me to apply this cream on his face. It would help in quickly healing those bite marks.” Without waiting for Aditya to say anything, she started applying the green cream to his right cheek. At first, her movement was stiff and slow. After a minute, she found a natural flow.
“Are you going to be busy tomorrow?” Aditya randomly asked feeling the awkward silence.
“Maybe I am not sure. Actually, it was mom’s idea to go out with my friends.”
Both of them looked at each other. “In the noble circle, socializing is a very important factor. Mom wanted me to introduce you to my friends so that you can build your own connections with the nobles and rich people.”
For now, Aditya cannot reveal the fact that he was the king of the Istarin Kingdom located in the eastern region of the continent. If he did that, then some jealous men or enemies of the Onard family might try to destroy the Istarin kingdom. Though Aditya can fight a beginner 4th-order cultivator, he is not sure about fighting a group of 4th-orders. Or if some 4th-order attacked his Kingdom, he wouldn’t able to defend it.
Sophie’s idea was to help Aditya build a different identity. After today’s meeting, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that Aditya has gained connections in the noble circle. Forming connections is another form of political power. “You don’t look so surprised.”
“I already have thought of this possibility.”
“By now, I am pretty sure almost all the nobles and the king must have heard of the rumor of the Onard noble household princess being engaged. I am pretty sure he will come to cause trouble tomorrow.”
“Who…..?
“Let me explain.”
