The World Is Mine For The Taking

Chapter 246: Chapter 38 - The Situation Of The Elven Race (2)

When I returned, a lively gathering was seated around the table. As soon as the elves noticed me, they went on high alert, eyes narrowing with suspicion. Solaris quickly intervened, assuring them that I was a guest.

Despite their hushed murmurs—questions like "Why is a human male here?" or "Why is Her Majesty allowing a human here?"—I remained unfazed, focusing on my meal.

Amidst their scrutiny, I couldn't help but marvel at their beauty. Each person seated there was a bombshell, radiating a captivating allure that seemed perfectly placed in the moment. The tableau before me begged to be immortalized—a scene ripe with potential for a stunning masterpiece.

Solaris leaned in to explain that they constituted the council of the Elven Kingdom, akin to ministers overseeing various aspects of governance in the kingdom.

"Let me introduce you," Solaris began, her voice carrying a hint of pride. "Starting from the first on the right, meet Azusa. She oversees the Hunting Group and ensures our food supply remains stocked."

Azusa, her mouth full of meat, glared at me with an intense gaze. She was a striking dark elf, exceptionally tall, and exuding a powerful presence. Her attire was a scanty green cloth adorned with golden embroidery, barely covering her essentials. The open cleavage revealed her massive breasts, and her muscular thighs were wrapped in bandages.

She wore knee-high metal boots that matched the color of her outfit. Long strands of silver hair cascaded over one eye, the other vividly green. She looked every bit the formidable elven warrior.

"And next, we have Hilda," Solaris continued. "She manages the Guard Group and is responsible for guarding the kingdom."

Hilda was every bit the warrior that Azusa appeared to be. Her skin was tanned, likely from rigorous training rather than being a dark elf. Clad in a sleek, black leather suit that accentuated her figure, she sported an open cleavage, akin to attire favored by motorcycle riders—a helmet being the only missing piece for her to resemble one.

Perhaps it was an undershirt for protection under knight armor. Her long, faded gold hair framed piercing green eyes, and she, too, fixed me with a stern glare.

"Next is Clarett," Solaris continued, her voice carrying across the dining area. "She manages trades and communications with other races in the Great Forest."

Clarett didn't wear anything that indicated she was a warrior. Instead, she sported glasses perched delicately on her nose, giving her an intellectual charm. She was cute rather than stunningly beautiful, a subtle allure that stood out among the other elves. Unlike the others, her attire was modest, not excessively revealing. Her short, white hair framed her face.

"And next is Frey," Solaris continued. "She's in charge of education and training."

Frey greeted me with a wave as she was introduced, her gesture outwardly friendly yet her eyes betraying a hint of suspicion. Her movements were subtly seductive, each gesture seeming to draw me in with a magnetic allure. Her presence exuded a potent sexual energy, as if she were enticing me with every glance and sway.

Among them, she stood out as the most voluptuous, her curves accentuated by a white attire layered over a pinkish turtleneck. Black leggings hugged her legs, complemented by metallic golden boots that added to her commanding presence.

"There are two more, but they seem occupied at the moment. Ah, here they come," Solaris announced. I turned to see two figures entering through the doorway. My eyes widened as soon as they came into view.

"You're starting without us? That's sad," one of the them quipped, her short hair framing a mischievous smile.

The other sported twin tails, her gaze sweeping the room before locking onto me with narrowed eyes. "So, that explains the strange mana presence I sensed. There's an intruder. Or perhaps not, if he's dining with all of you. Who is he?"

"I was just about to introduce him to everyone. Firstly, let me introduce you, Leon. They are twin sisters responsible for shielding the Elven Kingdom from outsiders. The mist that blankets the entire kingdom is their creation. Meet Verra and Serra."

The two looked at me with expressions of disgust. I guess they really were that repulsed by men. I couldn't help but meet their gaze. After all, these were the same two who had been pleasuring each other passionately in the treehouse next to Yggdrasil. And to think, they were twins on top of that?

"Your Majesty..." a voice suddenly cut through, unexpected as it came not from a council member but from Aegis, who loomed behind Artemis. Her tone was sharp, her gaze piercing as she addressed Solaris directly. "It may be rude to ask, but isn't it time you told us why exactly a human is here?" She shot a pointed glare in my direction.

"I know you and the Princess have labeled him a guest, but it's clear he's more than that, seated alongside you for lunch. And, well, with him being a man, I fear he might pose a threat to you, Your Majesty."

"I think Aegis raises a valid point, Your Majesty," Hilda interjected firmly, her gaze drilling into me without faltering. "Human males have long been our adversaries, responsible for much suffering among our people. Many are still enduring their actions today. So why are we permitting a human, especially a male, to sit here where the council convenes?"

The members of the council all turned their eyes towards me. It was clear how much they harbored resentment towards humans, especially males. That wasn't surprising at all. In my opinion, their resentment was entirely justified. Their race had suffered greatly because of males. In addition to kidnappings, there were cases of elves being sold as sex slaves.

I was honestly surprised they hadn't declared war on humans yet. But with their numbers dwindling and no males left in their race to reproduce, such an action would be incredibly reckless. It would risk their very existence.

I stood resolute under their piercing gazes.

Hilda's voice snapped sharply, "And to think a human male could possess such disgustingly potent mana," she accused. "You're no ordinary male. Who or what are you, really?"

"Now, now, calm yourself, Hilda. Let me address this first," Solaris interjected calmly but firmly. "I understand your concerns, and they are valid. But trust me, Leon poses no threat to me, Artemis, or our people."

"Well, you're correct to assume he poses no immediate threat, especially with all of us surrounding him. But I fear keeping him contained won't be easy, given he's far from ordinary."

"I'm not referring to containment, Hilda," Solaris interjected, her tone steady. "Leon... isn't entirely human."

"What?" Hilda's gaze briefly shifted to Solaris, then returned to me with renewed scrutiny. "No. That changes nothing. He's still a male."

"He's not just an ordinary male. You all must have noticed the immense amount of mana pulsating through his body," Solaris declared, her voice carrying a weight of significance. "Allow me to introduce him properly. His name is Leon. Leon Eclair."

At that revelation, their eyes widened in astonishment.

"W-Wait, Eclair?" Clarett exclaimed, her voice tinged with disbelief.

"Like the Great Red?" Frey pondered aloud, her finger hovering near her lips in contemplation.

"No, like Lilith," Asuza interjected, her tone suggesting a realization.

"So, that means he's one of the five parts of Lilith?" Clarett questioned, seeking confirmation with a mix of curiosity and apprehension.

"That's right," Solaris asserted with unwavering certainty. "Leon is one of the children of Lilith. And beyond that, he is the one foretold in my dreams."

Hilda's eyes widened even further. "Foretold? Then that means he's...?"

"Yes, precisely," Solaris affirmed, her voice carrying a weight of revelation. "Leon is the savior we've long awaited. The one destined to rescue us from the brink of extinction."

Their gazes fixed on me now weren't merely surprised. The initial looks had been laden with suspicion and anger, followed by astonishment. Now, their expressions shifted to a mix of perplexity and profound shock, as if grappling with the enormity of what had just been revealed.

"This man... is?" Verra's gaze bore into me, searching for answers amidst the revelation.

"...the one who will save us from extinction... the one who will..." Serra trailed off, her voice filled with uncertainty.

"...save us by impregnating us all?" Verra continued, her disbelief palpable in the air.

"That's right. Nicely pieced together, you two," Solaris applauded, her hands coming together in a brief, approving clap. "This is why I've brought you all together today. It might seem a bit crude to discuss over lunch, but since we're already on the subject, I'll explain. I intend to initiate the rebirth of our race. In essence, I'm planning to restore things to how they were before."

They all looked puzzled, as if struggling to grasp Solaris's meaning. I, however, understood perfectly well what she meant.

"I want you all to have sex with Leon," Solaris said.
