Expecting something vastly different from what King Jorik said, Rex was utterly speechless when he heard the small request that King Jorik wanted. It turns out that he wanted to betroth a Dark Elf to him, and that is something that blew his mind.
'How is that a small request... I should've expected this' Rex thought trying to keep his stoic face.
But out of nowhere a surge of energy exploded from the side catching everyone around the table in surprise, it was a surge of purple energy that went rampant and violent. It came from Evelyn that heard the absurd request that King Jorik offered.
Kaboom!
Following the explosion of energy is a violent wind shockwave that almost flipped the table.
With both of her eyes turning violet, she glared at King Jorik.
"Did you actually think that the Alpha would marry one of you? More than that, you asked that kind of request in front of me?! Not going to happen, don't make me laugh!!" Evelyn shouted angrily, she was flabbergasted by the request.
Due to her leaking purple dust due to the full moon, the Dark Elves knew she was the Luna.
Evelyn refused to believe that these Dark Elves doesn't realize that she was the Luna of the Silverstar Pack. If they knew about her, then how could they ask such a request in front of her? Something like that is insane.
It's like she got slapped on the face from being disrespected like that.
Sharing a man such as Rex with the others is a completely different thing than this, Evelyn started to feel the urge to tear King Jorik and the female Dark Elf apart. If Adhara or Gistella are here, they would probably do the same.
Even Flunra thought that it was a stupid request, King Jorik should've known that.
Most of the guards and the Dark Elves' nobilities instantly went into their battle stances, pointing their weapons at Rex and the others out of reflex. Of course, that sudden surge of energy catches them off guard.
While looking around and saw weapons pointed at him, Rex smiled nonchalantly.
Although none of these weapons are able to hurt him with the strength he currently had, the gestures are not appreciated at all. Shifting his eyes back to King Jorik, Rex gave him a warning look signaling for him to tell the Dark Elves to stand down.
"Lower your weapon, and do not do that again until this meeting is over" King Jorik commanded.
Upon hearing this the other Dark Elves obeyed and lower their weapons, even though Evelyn is still glaring at them all. If eyes can kill then she would've killed them ten times over, she seems to want to swallow them all from the absurd request.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRex glanced at Evelyn, telling her to stand down and she did reluctantly.
Now that the place has become tranquil again despite the tension being very high as the Dark Elves are looking at Evelyn warily, Rex puts both of his elbows on the table before he inspected the female Dark Elf who just stepped forward.
Averting her eyes nervously, the female Dark Elf seems to be quite young for their race.
Nalea has glowing blue eyes and her face is quite delicate and tender, it makes her emit a comforting vibe. Her pointy ears are pointing downwards and she's gripping the edge of her dress, showing that she's nervous about the situation, especially Evelyn's glare that pierces her face.
Something that a young Dark Elf like her is not used to.
Her very long white hair tied into a ponytail is featured even more due to her black dress with long black feathers at the collar that made her look like a princess, the black dress fits her appearance and body perfectly.
On top of that, she also wears sparkling iron earrings and a beautiful necklace wrapping her neck.
Rex finds that she's quite attractive for a Dark Elf, but the clothes that she's wearing now catch his attention since it's almost as if Naela knows that he would come here and prepare a dress that would make her stand out.
After inspecting her, Rex then said, "I hope you know that what you asked is very offensive"
Even though Naela is a charming Dark Elf that could ensnare the hearts of men, Rex already has the others that don't pale in comparison. There was no need for another woman, and he made that pretty obvious through his expression.
While saying that, Rex is thinking inside his head, 'Something is off...'
'I'm quite certain that King Jorik wouldn't say anything to offend me knowing that I could destroy this place entirely, so there's no way he wanted to betroth Naela to me. If so then he would be quite a fool to assume that I would agree'
But King Jorik instantly realized the misunderstanding as he raises his hand gently.
"My apologies for not being clear, I won't dare to betroth anyone to the Alpha in front of the Luna. I wouldn't even dare ask of such a thing even if the Luna is not here, all I'm asking is to betroth Naela to one of your pack members"
"I heard that there's one that is as young as Naela too" King Jorik explained clearly.
Upon hearing this Evelyn widened her eyes for a bit before she calmed herself down, she thought that King Jorik wanted to betroth Naela to Rex which is not going to happen. 'I was about to say, I can't believe he would say that' Evelyn thought while clearing her throat and retracting her energy back.
Rex also nodded his head, it seems he was right, something is off from that request.
'Wait, if that's the case is he talking about Kyran...?' Rex thought with a frown.
King Jorik sighed in relief when he saw Evelyn is already calmed down, it was just a simple misunderstanding. "Naela here and one of your pack members are already married in our eyes, but I know that others don't know of our cultures which is why I'm asking you properly for them two to be together. I hope you will give your blessing for them, this will certainly strengthen our bond"
"Married...? How did that happen?" Evelyn mutters in surprise on the side.
Not one of them knows how to react right now, they can't fathom how can this happen to Kyran.
Rex, on the other hand, can somewhat guess how this happen, he knows the Dark Elves' culture from the information he bought from the system. It's quite detailed, he make sure to read all of it since he was going to negotiate with them.
One of the things he learned is that Dark Elves are born with something unique.
Dark Elves are born with something called Blessing of Dark Nature or also called the Orb of Life.
Just like the Elves, the Dark Elves are born having fair skin and pointy ears. Most of them are talented in nature magic, but what sets the difference is that Dark Elves were born with the Orb of Life. With time, Dark Elves would have their appearance changed by this Orb of Life.
Soon their skin would become ashy, and their magic will start to lean more toward Dark Nature.
The Dark Elves consider the Orb of Life to be their own fate written by the Dark Nature, and when they reach their adulthood the Orb of Life will come out of their bodies and be used as an amplifier to their bows as it contains immense Dark Nature energy.
'Whatever happened, it must have something to do with her Orb of Life' Rex thought with a nod.
Looking back at Naela before King Jorik again, Rex finally said his piece, "I've never been against true love, if that's what Naela wants then so be it. But I'll only give my blessing if he also accepts this relationship"
"Marvelous, then it's settled. It's the birth of our alliance" King Jorik declared with an excited smile.
But instead of rejoicing at the successful negotiation, Rex's expression kept stern which caught King Jorik's attention, "Yes, but there's a slight problem with that. I hope the Dark Elves can help me with this problem..."

The next day.
As the matters with the Dark Elf Kingdom went smoothly, they are now back at the castle.
Rex is currently sitting on his throne in the great hall with both of his hands on the throne handles and his eyes closed, the new King Mark on his forehead is glowing with a subtle red hue as it seems he was in a dream-like state.
Since he needs to save Kyran, he would need to do one thing first before making his move.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLearning the Brutal Impulse Moon Ability that he had gained from the previous quest of the first ascension trial, he needs to master that ability so he can effectively deal with the problem that might arise along the way.
But right now, he's currently using the Oracle of Moon Ability item.
The system explained that the Oracle of Moon Ability is an item that would help Rex in learning a Moon Ability faster, he would be given a dream where he could use the said Moon Ability that he wanted to master.
It will allow Rex to feel the flow of kingly energy to cast the Moon Ability.
Rex's body would then be able to remember the flow and all he needs is to mimic the flow of kingly energy, this will make controlling the kingly energy in that particular flow way easier compared to trying it without the Oracle of Moon Ability.
'Wait for me, Kyran. I'm coming for you...'
Not only him, but the others are also either training or recuperating.
Evelyn is training to reach the next realm which is the seventh-rank realm that would allow her to summon her spirits' physical form, she's the Luna but she still needs to be able to protect herself when she's alone.
On the other hand, Gistella and Flunra are resting in their own rooms to get back to their 100%.
With Rex's presence back at the castle, a change happened.
Since the castle that Rex bought is a very powerful castle, it has some extraordinary effects but most of them are locked. It would be unlocked when the castle is upgraded using elemental stones, but for now, there's one effect that influenced the others greatly.
It was an effect called Godsend King Effect.
Godsend King Effect will allow the castle to gather or suck elemental mana, spirit energy, and other energies in the surroundings at an effective pace automatically when the Owner is present inside the castle. It basically means that anyone that trains inside the castle will have a 5x amplifier.
Adhara and Evelyn would be benefitted from this the most, their growth will receive a 5x boost.
Not only that but the mix of energies gathered by the castle makes the air inside the castle comfortable, it's not a powerful effect but a rather convenient one as they are surrounded by the Humming Damned Forest that is filled with cursed creatures.
Soon the dream ended, and Rex's eyelids started to tremble for a bit.
Opening and blinking his red eyes a couple of times, Rex adjusted his eyes to see the great hall after using the Oracle of Moon Ability. It's quite draining mentally, but he's determined to learn it as soon as possible.
At least he needs to know if Kyran is okay, if not he would be stressed out all the time.
Rex looks around the great hall and finds nobody, his mind is still stuck in the dream that he got earlier before a smile appeared on his face. Clenching his fists, his eyes glisten fiercely as he pities the person that decided to hold Kyran hostage.
"Brutal Impulse, huh... with it I think I can take on King Baralt and Queen Catsha easily" Rex grinned.
