The next evening, the camp which belonged to the royal army of the Gaim Emperor was looking completely different from the previous day. It went from being a simple looking camp to an extravagant one in just one day.

This transformation was the result of Leonhart's order to make the campground look as extravagant as possible. Leonhart had almost blind belief toward his soulform teacher. So he tried to follow his advice to a T.

The soldiers were first astonished as they could not understand why they were decorating the campground. Then a rumour spread among the soldiers that, their almighty Emperor had fallen in love with a S rank human.

This would have been impossible to believe rumours as their mighty beastkin Emperor falling for a human was something impossible to happen. So this time too many soldiers did not believe the rumour and laughed it off. But, soon their laughter stopped as they became frozen when Elena made a quick visit to the royal camp.

She came here to inform Leonhart about the exact time of her visit and to let him know that Hapis was going to join her in this tea party. While she made this visit all the soldiers of the royal beastkin army were able to witness Elena's astonishing beauty and the rumour about Leonhart falling for a human became an absolute fact in their minds.

The soldiers suddenly became very motivated to do the decoration. It was not because after knowing the real reason behind their emperor's desire the loyal soldiers became motivated but they became motivated because they also wanted to somehow impress Elena and they thought that if their wise Emperor wanted to impress her with extravagant decoration then she must like that. So the royal army camp became filled with a lot of extravagant decorations and honestly it looked tasteless and gaudy.

...

When the evening arrived Elena suddenly appeared in front of the gates of the royal army camp. She was wearing a beautiful night blue coloured gown. The shoulder of the gown was bare displaying her crystal clear shoulders. He also wore a hair decoration made in the shape of a flower called "Diansytha". It was one of the jewellery that princess Lisa of the Myrilia Kingdom had gifted her. All in all, she looked stunning in her get-up.

She was followed by a three meter tall bull beastkin wearing an expensive looking suit. The suit suited the bull as much as the peacock feather suited a crow. So he looked very comical with the suit and his bulging muscles. His looks were so funny that many royal soldiers laughed out loud seeing him.

Before entering the camp Elena declared her arrival -

"I'm Elena, a S rank adventurer. I had an appointment for a tea party with your emperor, his majesty Leonhart. It will be a great help if you can inform him of my arrival."

The guards who were on the receiving end of her declaration all stammered out a nervous reply -

"Y-yess, we will notify the emperor a-as soon as possible. P-please enter the camp and l-let up entertain you for a bit. Feel free to look around the c-camp too."

"My, thanks for your warm reception."

Seeing Elena smiling sweetly at them the guards were unable to take it anymore and fainted in happiness. That was the effect of Elena's passive super high charm.

Then Elena entered the camp with the guidance of the few remaining strong willed guards.

...

Leonhart was waiting in his room for Elena's arrival. He had ordered his subordinates to notify him as soon as she appeared and he was waiting impatiently for her. Soon his wait was over and one of his subordinates came to his room to tell him that lady Elena was finally here and she was waiting in the luxurious guest rooms prepared specially for her.

Hearing that Leonhart instantly jumped up and declared that he would personally go and welcome her. But some of his subordinates advised him to not go it himself and asked him to wait in the venue of the tea party. That was how a ruler should behave before important guests.

But Leonhart was adamant about welcoming Elena himself. But the subordinates were able to finally make him change his mind by mentioning that lady Elena would find him to be more charming if he behaved like a true ruler.

So Leonhart went to the artificial garden that was created within a single day utilising the top magicians of the royal army. He had prepared an elegant looking table and chairs for the tea party. But only behaving like a fanboy would not be enough to impress Elena so he took a deep breath and calmed his mind in order to act like a real bona fide Emperor.

...

After waiting and enjoying the hospitality of the beastkin soldiers from the royal army for about 20 minutes Elena was invited to go to the venue of the tea party. Elena bid goodbye to the soldiers who were taking care of her for the whole time and gifted them a dazzling smile. Then she followed the messenger toward the artificial garden where the tea party would be held.

After entering the garden Elena was genuinely impressed. She had seen the decoration of the whole camp and also knew that she was the reason why the camp was so decorated. But if anyone asked her why her opinion was on the decoration then she could only say that it was pretty damn bad.

The products they used for the decoration were all quite expensive and even had artistic value. But the people who used those things to decorate the place had a very VERY bad style sense. It all looked very bland and gaudy. But the Garden was different.

Probably because the mages of the royal army were quite intelligent themselves because of their profession, they had quite a good style sense. Elena at first thought that the garden would also be a disaster but honestly it was pretty well made. The flowers were arranged in a neat and tidy manner. The colours of the flowers were vibrant but easy on the eyes. The scenery of the garden was extremely beautiful overall.

She saw Leonhart was sitting on a chair already waiting for Elena. There were two more chairs on the table. Elena took the seat which was in front of Leonhart, and Hapis took the last remaining seat. Then she remarked -

"The garden is looking really beautiful. Thank you very much for arranging all these. I really appreciate it."

"The pleasure is all mine. I'm glad that you liked it. Please feel free to taste this tea. It is a special blend created by the elephant beastkins living in the mountains of the Gaim Empire. Please give it a try."

Hearing that Elena took a sip of the tea. The taste of the tea was very refreshing with a mellow scent. It was truly a very good tea. Obviously the teas created by Lya were on a whole different level, but this tea was also one of the best that Elena had tasted outside the divine realm.

"Umm, it's really good. It had a refreshing flavour with a sweet but mellow fragrance. I'm really enjoying it."

"That's good, that's good."

As Elena was praising the arrangements made by the beastkin he ordered, Leonhart was getting happy as if she was praising him. Seeing Elena truly enjoying the things he prepared, Leonhart was getting a warm and fuzzy feeling in his tummy.

"I know that both of you already know each other but still let me introduce my new subordinate, Hapis, a level 280 warrior. He is also the chief of the Bull beastkins. Do allow me to apologize on his behalf for acting out of turn and trying to rebel against their homeland."

Hapis who was quietly and stiffly sitting on his chair almost fell off when he heard Elena mentioning him. He was quite nervous since the meeting started and was not sure what he had to do.

The other two people present inside the garden were both overwhelmingly stronger than him and one of them was also somewhat of an enemy of his. So he was very nervous and cautious. He was trying his best to maintain a low profile. Then suddenly when Elena mentioned his name and apologized on his behalf he became very flustered.

"It's fine, miss Elena. I don't mind it much as he had already left my side even even joining you as your subordinate. So, I don't mind. But I'm curious as to why you choose him as your subordinate. I do know many other beastkins who have even better qualifications than him."

"Fufu. While it might be true that there are other individuals who might be better than Hapis but I was very impressed by his courage and duty toward his race. That was the reason why I took him as his subordinate."

Hearing the reason why Elena took him in as her subordinate Hapis was very moved. He had thought that Elena had taken him as her subordinate because he was the only person available from the Gaim Empire. But knowing that she had seen some merits in him was very gratifying for him.

While Hapis' loyalty toward Elena suddenly increased by a huge margin, the tea party continued.
