"Whatever you say, Idonea." Said Elif with a playful smirk before blowing a kiss toward her and winking, causing the light blush on her face to deepen slightly.
"Your Highness, please show proper etiquette when conversing with a member of the opposite sex." Advised Idonea blandly, yet her lack of reaction only spurred Elif on.
With a smirk, I stood up from my position and walked over to the confused Idonea before sitting on her lap, finally getting a reaction out of the ever-stoic Idonea.
"Y-Y-Your Highness, w-w-what a-a-are you d-d-doing!?" Asked Idonea nervously, her stoic expression quickly crumbling while her face turned bright red from the erotic position she and Elif were in.
"I'm doing just as you said, am I not? I'm displaying proper etiquette when conversing with a beautiful woman. Tell me, how am I doing?" Said Elif seductively as he looked deeply into Idonea's pupil-less eyes and sensually rubbed his thumb across Idonea's lips while his long silver hair slightly swayed.
"From the lack of response, my etiquette must not be up to your standards; however, what if I do this?" Added Elif with a seductive smirk as he brought one of her hands close to his face and deeply kissed the back of it while maintaining eye contact, causing Idonea and Marley to be slightly surprised by Elif's bold actions.
"Tastes like a Heavenly apple, or was it a Spring coconut? Hmm, maybe another kiss may help me remember. Ahh, yes, how could I forget? It was neither of those; it actually tastes like a Mimosa tea." Stated Elif with a sensual expression before kissing her hand again, nearly causing Idonea's brain to overload.
"Hmm, Idonea, are you okay? Why're you bleeding from your nose?" Asked Elif seriously, the seductive and playful expression vanishing as he eyed the blood that nearly blended in with Idonea's bright red face.
"I-I-I'm o-okay y-your Highness, I-It is nothing." Said Idonea in embarrassment as she swiftly summoned a handkerchief to stop the bleeding after Elif had gotten off her lap.
"Hmm, if you say so. I'll head to my room to cultivate then; alert me once we arrive at the Fairy clan's territory." Said Elif as he gave one last look at Idonea before entering his room to cultivate, leaving the three women to converse about what had just happened.

"Are you fine now, Idonea?" Asked Marley with concern as she tried helping the now-calm Idonea.
"Yes, I'm no longer bleeding; I'm fine, Marley; I appreciate the assistance." Replied Idonea calmly as she destroyed the handkerchief covered in blood before leaning back and closing her eyes, hoping to forget the recent events.
"It seems His Highness has improved his seduction techniques; this is quite bad; I was barely able to resist his attempt last time." Remarked Marley gloomily, though the red tint on her cheeks said otherwise; however, her words caused Idonea's cheeks to blush as she remembered the previous event, although Marley did manage to catch her interest.
"Last time? His Highness has done this before, Marley?" Asked Idonea curiously.
"Yes, a few days ago, he attempted to seduce Ms. Illumia and I, though he failed completely with Ms. Illumia; in fact, I think she almost managed to seduce him." Whispered Marley quietly, as she wasn't even supposed to be talking about this, though she figured since Elif had already attempted to seduce Idonea, it shouldn't be a problem.
"Seduce, His Highness!? You must be joking!" Said Idonea in surprise, finding it hard to believe her words were true.
"Shh! Keep it down, Idonea; His Highness has ordered us never to speak about this; if he finds out, I'm sure we'll be greatly punished. And no, I'm not joking; you can ask Ms. Illumia; she is right here after all." Stated Marley quietly before the both of them looked over to their right, their eyes landing on the figure of Illumia peacefully sitting.
"Nevermind." Said Idonea as she and Marley looked at Illumia uneasily, both too scared of Illumia to disturb her over something so trivial.
"So, has His Highness tried to seduce you since then?" Asked Idonea as she tried changing the topic away from Illumia.
"No, you were the third person he had attempted to seduce, though I must thank you for being here; otherwise, His Highness would've tried to seduce me instead, and I don't believe I would've been able to resist his attempt." Declared Marley with a slight smile and a light blush.
"I suppose you're welcome." Said Idonea half-heartedly
"Though, just between you and me. H-How did His Highness l-lips feel?" Asked Marley quietly, her desire to know surpassing the embarrassment she felt asking the question.
"Soft, warm, and addictive." Replied Idonea quietly with a heavy blush after nearly a full minute of silence.
"I-I see." Said Marley quietly with an equally heavy blush before the carriage descended into silence while a weird atmosphere loomed over them.
'I must say, His Highness is even more talented than Incubi when it comes to seduction; he truly is unreasonably talented.' Thought Illumia with a slight shake of her head, who had been watching everything from when Elif tried to seduce Idonea till now.

"Your Highness, we're nearing the Divine Fairy clan's domain; just another five minutes until we reach there." Announced Illumia with a knock on the door, interrupting Elif's cultivation, though since he knew it would happen beforehand, he didn't receive any type of backlash.
"I understand; I'll be out in a minute." Replied Elif calmly as he stopped cultivating and gracefully lowered himself to the bed below him before opening his eyes.
Arriving in front of a mirror, I fixed my appearance until I was satisfied before leaving the room and sitting opposite Marley, Idonea, and Illumia. Though I noticed when I sat down that both Marley and Idonea seemed to be slightly uncomfortable, especially Idonea; however, I wasn't in the mood to tease them, so I didn't bother pointing it out.
"Have you healed Idonea?" Asked Elif as he grabbed a nearby teacup and drank the contents.
"Hmm, Mimosa tea. It's been a while since I had that." Added Elif with a light smile as he put the tea cup back down before looking at Idonea.
"Y-Yes, I'm fine, your Highness. However, you don't need to concern yourself about me; I'm merely a follower." Said Idonea with a light blush.
"What do you mean I don't need to concern myself about you? The two of you are my followers; of course, I'm worried about your well-being." Replied Elif casually as he ate some lighting cherries. However, while his statement would usually only cause Marley and Idonea to smile slightly, the recent events caused the two of them to think it held a deeper meaning, especially Marley.
"W-We appreciate y-your concern, your Highness." Said Marley while Idonea merely stayed quiet; however, both of them were noticeably blushing, though luckily, Elif wasn't paying them much attention.
Looking out the window, I noticed the sky was somewhat dim, signifying that dusk was merely an hour or so away. Gazing at the forest below, I was met with a typical forest like usual; however, Eyvor had told me that the forest within the Fairy Clans territory is one of the nine Immortal miracles of the OverRealm, just like how the Realm tree in the Elven Empire is part of the nine Immortal miracles.
As I was leisurely viewing the forest below, I sensed my medallion tremble from within my dimension ring; summoning the medallion, I held it out for all to see, and when I did so, the trembling only increased while also emitting a radiant glow.
"I suppose we've arrived; stop the carriage; we've arrived." Remarked Elif as he stood up and exited the carriage; Illumia, Marley, and Idonea also followed him outside.
"You guys didn't need to follow me; revealing the illusion formation only requires one person. Well, not like it matters." Said Elif as he held his medallion while floating high above the ground, still casually snacking on lighting cherries.
With the medallion in hand, I tossed it higher into the sky in the distance, and once it reached the peak of its trajectory, it stopped and floated in the air; however, while the trembling stopped, the glowing had significantly intensified and was still increasing.
"Ugh, that is quite bright." Commented Marley as she and Idonea were forced to close their eyes from the intense light, and Elif wasn't far behind them; the only ones still okay from the intense light were Mandy, her guards, Illumia, Zulo, and Zala.
After a short while, the intense light finally died down to the point where the three of us could open our eyes, and when we did, the three of us were enthralled by the marvelous beauty that the forest in front of us had.
"Such a scene is hard to describe with mere words." Said one of the guards; everyone except Illumia, Zulo, and Zala was surprised by the forest as this wasn't their first time seeing it.
"I suppose it really does deserve being labeled as one of nine Immortal miracles of the OverRealm." Said Elif almost absentmindedly as he laid his eyes on the forest that illuminated itself.
While I was basking in the breathtaking scene before me, I suddenly sensed such a colossal amount of Qi converge near my location that it caused my instincts to scream in unprecedented danger, and out of pure reflex, I instantly summoned the protective artifact Mother had given me and appeared directly in front of Marley and Idonea who had just now sensed the colossal amount of Qi.
"Calm down, your Highness; it is merely Mandy; she seems to be experiencing an Epiphany and is breaking through to an early True God." Stated Illumia calmly, her words greatly easing Elif's, Idonea's, and Marley's worries, though that wasn't for long.
"Did you just say, early True God!? Doesn't that mean she'll experience a Heavenly Tribulation!" Exclaimed Elif nervously; the worries that had just disappeared came back with much more intensity than before.
"Yes, Mandy has been stuck at the peak of the Half-step True God realm for quite some time, and it seems like witnessing one of the nine Immortal miracles of the OverRealm allowed her to experience an epiphany which she used to advance to a higher realm." Explained Illumia, though her words hardly pacified Elif.
"I suggest everyone stand behind me; the might of the Heavenly Tribulation Mandy is about to experience will be quite powerful." Stated Illumia seriously, and not even a second later, everyone except Zulo and Zala stood behind Illumia while intently watching Mandy.
