The Conquerors Path

"How does it feel to be known everywhere?"

Alex asked with a smug grin on his face that I wanted to punch in, well what else can I do when I am watched by hundreds of eyes as I walk by? right now I am headed on my way towards meeting the Eleven princess, right now only Jacob and Alex walked beside me but the main problem here is the hundreds of eyes watching me.

Most of them belong to different elves, the place I am walking now belongs to Sabrina's faction, the princess of one of the most powerful empires in the world and more importantly a capture target, the whole faction area belonging to Sabrina was remodeled to meet her taste and desires, the whole area looks like a beautiful fantasy place.

Each building and styles were exquisite with a hint of natural charm, all the buildings were modern and well built and to it there's a small connection to nature, making the whole place look breathtaking, which added to its charm and the beautiful elves walking around, the whole of the Elven Empire is extremely big and there are several elves like,

Moon Elf

Sun Elf

Wood Elf

Dark Elf

Green Elf

ranger Elf

And many more, several different elves tribes and power exists in the Elven Empire, and above them stood the royal elven family the sole beings capable of using nature magic, reigning above the other elves keeping a tight leash on the crown, no one could challenge their might and no one dares, there's the saying that the whole elven royal family lineage is blessed by the Goddess of Life.

I had asked about it to Orpheus and well she says no such things exist, hence within my hands I seem to hold one of the safest guarded secrets of the elven royal family, though because of the so-called blessing no one dares to challenge their might, the worship that elves have for the Goddess Of Life is on another level.

Just thinking about the result of my status as 'holy' son being leaked gives me a headache, leaving all those aside right now I just kept a smile as I followed behind the male elf in front of me, at times I would just give a head nod to the others trying not to be seen arrogant while doing so I would subtly enjoy the surrounding that made one calm.

After a few minute's walk, I reached a humongous palace-like manor, its beautiful design breathtaking, the whole place was decorated by a beautiful garden, where several butterflies seemed to take their flight, I enjoyed the scenery as I walked into the garden, I could see that all the elves here were powerful, most of them vigilant and ready for any kind of combat,

"The princess would like to talk to Austin alone"

The male elf spoke finally stopping, hearing it I smiled as I responded, 

"Sure"

Saying so I gave both Jacob and Alex a signal, and both of them understood it as they stayed behind, nodding to the elf in front of me, I started to walk forward a few seconds later I entered a more open area that was breathtaking, surrounded with several butterflies and nature, reading a book sat a beautiful elf, her platinum hair danced with the light wind while her emerald eyes read through the book in her hand.

Beside her respectfully stood a girl whose cuteness might melt you away, her height barely reached my chest but both her 'assets' were huge and bountiful, making a very stark yet desire-inducing look, her two ponytails danced in the wind while her green eyes lit up when her gaze landed on me, seeing her I smiled at the cute yet dangerous girl,

"It's nice to meet you, princess Sabrina"

"Please, call me Sabrina"

Sabrina who was reading the book kept it down on the table in front of her while her emerald eyes gazed at me with a hint of interest, 

"Sure, I don't mind Sabrina"

I spoke as I took a seat opposite to her, though my eyes soon tried to Emily as I spoke,

"It's good to see you again Emily, I'm happy that things turned out well for you"

"Thank you and I missed you too!"

Emily smiled puffing out her cheeks as she responded with a cute smile, while her ponytails shook with her head, her action was enough to melt even the hearts of steel but sadly for her, I knew her true self and I ain't falling for this, 

"It seems you two are quite close friends"

Sabrina spoke to which Emily 'blushed' as she spoke with a shy smile,

"Indeed Austin is a god friend of mine! he helped me a lot!"

Emily replied as she jumped twice in the air in excitement, seeing it I chuckled, 

"It's good to see you so happy Emily and yes both of us are good friends"

I spoke my last words inclined towards Sabrina who nodded her head, her eyes narrowing a little as she spoke,

"You really took the world by storm Sir Austin"

"Please, call me Austin"

I gave back her own words while putting on a cheeky smile, 

"Sure, I don't mind Austin"

She told throwing my word back at me, to which I just smiled, 

"Everyone has their own secrets Sabrina, always remember right?"

My last words were laced with a bit of mystery and it sparked a response from her, 

"Indeed I will remember it"

Sabrina spoke to which I smiled, 

"Truly, always remembering is hard"

This time I got her complete focus, meanwhile I could see the confused Emily, this time it was real, as she has no idea what we are talking about, they might be best friends but there are some secrets of Sabrina that Emily herself aren't privy to,

"Mou~what are you guys talking about!"

Unable to find answers Emily turned to her cute side, hoping to get some answers but to her shock, she didn't get what she want, 

"Emily, I want to talk with Austin in private"

Sabrina spoke, her voice serious, hearing this tone Emily seemed taken back but she soon regained her 'bubbly' self as she replied, 

"Sure"

Saying she started to walk away but not before leaving me with some words, 

"Also! Austin let's meet up after this!"

"Okay"

I replied and her smile widened as she started to skip away in a cute way and soon she was out of sight, as soon as she was away Sabrina's smile washed away as she gave me a questioning look,

"How do you know?"

"Isn't it painful?"

Instead of answering her question I countered with one, 

"So you do know"

Sabrina replied her face filling with a frown, I just smiled at it as I leaned onto my chair, speaking with absolute ease, 

"Isn't it painful? each moment playing in your head, trying to break you, all those tough pain filling you, unwilling to go away"

The more I spoke the more the frown on Sabrina's face deepened, now her voice contained a hint of anger, 

"I don't know how you know about this, which even my father doesn't know but I would be very careful with your next words"

"What if I say to you that I know what's the issue?"

"!!"

This time I got her real interest.
