While Sandy was doing a praiseworthy job at handling the emperor, Saradina was getting a little irritated with the emperor claiming to be on the same level as their beloved elder sister Elena. Saradina had spent quite a lot of time with Elena and she was sure that Elena was definitely way stronger than this guy.
She made this decision not based on any bias or delusion. She could feel a huge threat coming from the lion beastkin sitting in front of her. She was sure that even if all the people present here attacked him with all their might, they would still not be able to do any harm to him.
But she could not feel any kind of threat from Elena at all. She just felt like a friendly and kind elder sister to Saradina. So, why was she sure that Elena was stronger than the emperor ? That was because even though she could not beat Leonhart, she could at least guess the ceiling of his strength. But for Elena she could not feel anything at all and that unknown was the most scary thing.
As Saradina was getting impatient with Leonhart's effort to meet Elena at any cost, she suddenly heard the knocking on the door and saw her big sister coming in. She also witnessed Leonhart turning to look at Elena and jie his expression changed after seeing her. This made her heart sink. It was hard for a human to read the expression of a beastkin, but as an experienced woman Saradina could still guess what this perverted emperor was thinking at this moment.
...
If Saradina could understand what Emperor Leonhart was thinking at this moment, it was even simpler for Elena to guess his thoughts. But she did not pay it any mind as it was very common for a lot of males and even females to fall in love with Elena at the first sight.
Elena was very VERY beautiful and that was a fact. So if she always mind someone falling in love with her then she would get no brakes and she would always be super busy. And to be honest, one had to be somewhat wrong in the head for not to like Elena after seeing her. Her beauty was just that devastating.
So, Elena did not mind the fact that Leonhart fell for her and behaved completely normal. She had to have "a talk" with him in order to remove the status of a 'rebel' from Hapis and his clansmen. And if the emperor himself was so willing to have a conversation with her then that was even better.
So she made an appointment to have some tea with Leonhart tomorrow evening. After Elena was done with creating the appointment she left the room as she had no more work here. She had a few more works to do before having the tea party with the emperor.
...
After he became Elena's subordinate Hapis was brought to the Mini World of Elena. There he was astonished to see one of his former subordinates. He was very sure that she had most probably died as they got no news from her after she was sent to the city of Jysis for an infiltration mission.
At first he did not even recognise her as she did not look like a beastkin but instead looked like a demi-human. But soon after a little probe he realised that she was not a demi-human but she had awakened her bloodline to an astonishing degree and had gotten access to her pure beast form. This process was known as "Ancestral Reversion" which was almost a legend.
Reona greeted her former superior stiffly. After getting sublimated by Elena, her bull bloodline had gotten a lot stronger. But that also brought her very close to her beastly nature. So her instincts and emotions got a lot stronger and expressive. So, Reona was feeling an immense superiority even facing her former king due to her sublimated and better bloodline. So it was hard for her to respect Hapis and act like her previous self.
But Hapis did not mind that as he could feel that she was superior to him in terms of bloodline and potential. So her having less respect for him was inevitable. Just as Hapis and Reona were getting a bit more comfortable with each other Elena suddenly appeared before them.
Seeing her both of them did not waste any time and went on their knees. Elena weaved her hand at them and told them to stand back up. Then she told Hapis that she was going to have a tea party with the current emperor of the Gaim Empire tomorrow and she wanted Hapis to accompany her. As she was going to talk about his future, having Hapis himself with her was better.
Hapis readily agreed to accompany Elena. Even tho he was curious he did not ask about Reona's transformation and instead asked what happened after the emperor's visit. Elena also told him that the humans and the emperor were having a friendly conversion and that they might be able to forge a good relationship between their nations if the talk went well. Then after giving them some common orders she left the mini world. Her next destination was unknown to anyone.
...
Ever since Leonhart saw Elena for the first time he was in a daze. He only returned back to his senses when he came to their own camp. As soon as he came back to his senses he instantly remembered that he had an appointment for a tea party with Elena. He immediately got flustered after remembering that.
It was not his first time that he fell in love. But it was definitely his first time falling in love at the first sight. He was not a fool. As soon as he saw Elena and even when he was lost in her beauty, he still subconsciously tried to sense Elena's strength. But what he felt was nothing.
If not for the fact that he was sure that Elena was as strong as at least a S ranker, he would have believed her to be a completely normal girl who never leveled up much. One might think that it was Elena's mistake that even someone as strong as Leonhart could not see through Elena and she was making herself look too strong. But one had to know that Elena was not acting as a level 300 S rank but as a level 666 demigod. S was the rank that the adventurer guild had given her.
So, she had kept her disguise and other abilities at the level of a level 666 person. If a level 600 individual appraised Elena right now, he or she should be able to tell that she was a bit stronger than himself. But that was impossible for a person under level 550 to do. That was why even Leonhart was not able to guess her level at all.
So, for that reason he understood that Elena might be stronger than him. And if that was the case then it would be harder for him to impress Elena. But Leonhart Bravesoul had the brave heart of a lion. He was not going to give up easily. For that reason he asked his trusted teacher for advice who was also the reason why Leonhart was able to grow so much in such a short amount of time.
His trusted teacher was the soul of a great beast named Saliol from the past who was on the verge of reaching the rank of a Demigod. But to reach the rank of a Demigod one had to earn the grace of a god. While he was trying to earn the grace of the beast god, one of his long time enemies conspired behind his back with a friend who was jealous of his achievements. They teamed up together and betrayed him at a crucial time and killed him.
But he had already completed a part of the mission that the beast god had given him, but as he died he would not be able to become a Demigod now. So the beast god gave him a chance to make a comeback. As the reward to complete a part of the mission he was given a chance to still stay alive but only as a soul. He would also need another person as a host for him to stay in the world and Leonhart who was just a little kid back then was chosen as the host by him.
Saliol had a vast amount of experience which included courting several ladies. And depending on that experience Saliol told Leonhart to make the tea party as extravagant as possible. He remembered that the ladies he tried to court all liked such parties. He also told Leonhart to prepare the most expensive gift for Elena and it was better if that was some kind of ornament or gem. He could remember that ladies enjoyed that kind of gifts. Also Saliol advised him to boost about his wealth as much as possible.
Unfortunately all the ladies that this great beast courted in the past were all quite materialistic and vain. So it was questionable how helpful his advice was. The question could only be answered in the future.
