Night approaches fast for everyone who had received an invitation to attend the ball in the Evergreen royal family\'s castle.

As the bright full moon hung high up in the sky and shone its bright light upon the territory of the Emerald Tree Kingdom, Leo and all of the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild were finally gathered together at the entrance of the Smiling Lion Village where tens of carriages from the Evergreen royal family were waiting for them. 

At this moment, they are all wearing their Magic garments that have been turned into dashing suits and beautiful dresses that perfectly fit the theme of the ball, specifically Fiery Inferno. 

Along the way to the Evergreen royal family\'s castle, Leo can see from the outside of the carriage that it wasn\'t actually only the ball in the Evergreen royal family\'s castle that was having the theme of the \'Fiery Inferno\', but the entire Emerald City, and probably the entire Emerald Tree Kingdom as well. 

All the buildings were designed using red decorations, people were wearing red-colored clothes, and many more else.

Within his sight, he also noticed many people carrying various red-colored flying lanterns in different sizes, shapes, and forms on their hands as they walked towards the same direction as them. 

Curious to know the reason why, Leo quickly asked the coachman of their carriage who was also a soldier of the Evergreen royal family, "Are all of these people also going to the Evergreen royal family\'s castle?" 

Hearing Leo\'s question, the soldier shook his head before replying, "They are indeed going towards the same direction as us, but their main destination is the lake around the castle,"

"The lake?" Leo muttered silently while turning his head to look again at those lanterns on everyone\'s hands. He thought in realization, "All of these people are probably going to release their flying lanterns around the lake for safety purposes. After all, the Emerald City is practically surrounded by the Emerald Forest. With the sheer amount of these flying lanterns that they would be released to the sky alone, once they fall to the ground, a fire would definitely consume many trees that would eventually lead to a disastrous forest fire,"

"Let me guess, you are thinking that those lanterns would cause a forest fire?" Cassandra asked teasingly.

"Oh, it seems like I would have to change some things about me in order to prevent any of you from understanding me," Leo replied with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Heh, no matter how much you change yourself since you have already called us your wives, it is part of our responsibility to understand everything about you," Elizabeth proclaimed.

"What wives?" Angel objected, she continued, "Only until when he finally makes us completely his would we be considered as his wives," 

"I totally agree," Veronica nodded in agreement. 

"Here we go again," Leo can\'t help rolling his eyes. Just how many times would they have to repeat this kind of conversation? He already heard more than enough to understand clearly what they wanted, "Just be patient and wait for a bit, okay? We will definitely be getting there soon,"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, we understand that you can\'t afford any distractions at this point of time," Ash said before crossing her arms together in annoyance. 

Charlotte pouted her lips and said, "I guess that all of us are nothing but merely distraction and trouble for you, right?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Leo said, "I will try to finish everything here as soon as possible for all of you, would that be enough?" 

Instantly, the atmosphere of the carriage brighten up as Cassandra and the others asked in unison, "Really?!" 

"Tell me, were you all actually just aiming to make me do this?" Leo can\'t help but ask.

Hearing Leo\'s question, the atmosphere of the carriage instantly turned dead quiet.

"Not gonna answer, ha?" Leo\'s lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile as he said, "Considering that the ball is being hosted by the Evergreen royal family, it should just be right if I have my first dance with either Princess Tifa or Princess Tila, right? What do all of my wives think about with my plan? As long as I do this, there\'s no doubt that we will have an even closer relationship with the Evergreen royal family, we might even become as close as a family," 

"Hey, coachman, I know that you are listening," Leo turned to look at the innocent coachman who was driving their carriage outside, making the latter gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He asked, "If I have my first dance with either Princess Tifa or Princess Tila, would it make the Mischievous Lion Guild\'s relationship with the Evergreen royal family much more closer?"

Just now, using his unique capability to see the future, Leo took a short glimpse at what the coachman would be doing after bringing them to the Evergreen royal family\'s castle. And as he expected, the latter went to meet with Princess Tila and reported his findings about him to her.

Regardless of asking that question or not, Princess Tila would certainly still ask him for a dance anyways, especially considering that they would have to prove to the hidden members of the Naughty Elves organization attending the ball that they indeed have a close relationship. So, there\'s definitely no problem with adding a bit more encouragement and confidence to her, right? 

Or was there really...?

All of a sudden, the Isolation Magic Array installed inside the carriage was activated. Afterwards, the carriage began racking really hard with Leo\'s scream of pain that only the people inside the carriage could hear continuously sounded. 

Outside the carriage, the Coachman who has long already prepared himself to face the wrath of Cassandra and the others was completely rendered shocked upon noticing the continuous extreme movement that the carriage was making from the inside. 

"I\'d better inform Princess Tila that Guild Leader Loki is living the epitome of a man\'s life," The Coachman said before heaving a sigh of pity to Princess Tila since it seems like she wouldn\'t have any chance to become Guild Leader Loki\'s one and only wife, or even dominate him for herself alone, as long as Cassandra and the others exist by his side. It might even be possible for her to not have any chance to become one of Guild Leader Loki\'s woman. 

Having many experiences with similar situations to Guild Leader Loki\'s in the past, the Coachman didn\'t hesitate to turn the carriage towards a road with only a few people traveling. 

Meanwhile, Ethan and the others who were closely following behind the leading carriage that Leo and his women were riding can\'t help themselves from feeling curious about the sudden change of direction of their carriage. Though such thought only lasted for a bit as they noticed the movement of the carriage. Their assumption was also further confirmed when they noticed that the road they are traveling only has a few people around, unlike a while ago which was almost fully packed with people going towards the same direction.

.....

After thirty minutes of continuous traveling, the carriages of the Mischievous Lion Guild finally stopped at the bridge connecting to the Evergreen royal family\'s castle. From here on out, they are required to walk to reach the castle.

Although the four bridges connecting to the Evergreen royal family\'s castle located in the center of the lake has a considerable size, but with the sheer amount of carriages arriving in this place almost reaching close to a thousand already, a traffic jam is definitely expected to happen.

Since in a traffic jam people would have to walk anyways in order to reach the castle, then might as well just let them walk right from the very beginning so as to avoid causing displeasure and other bad impressions. 

Knock! Knock! Knock! 

Ethan began knocking on the door of the carriage Leo and his women were riding while wearing a knowing look on his face. Inside of his mind, he was already expecting that the inside of the carriage would be a mess, while everyone inside would even be more messier. 

"How shameless of Leo, hahaha," Ethan said with a chuckle.

The scene that Leo had shown to everyone just a while ago was similar to the saying,  "When a predator finds a prey, it would not care about the place where it would be eating them,"

Which in Leo\'s case right now, he ate all of his prey inside the carriage while traveling towards the Evergreen royal family\'s castle. 

However, the moment the carriage door was opened, what greeted Ethan\'s sight was only half of what he was expecting. 

Inside the carriage, it was only Leo who was in a mess, while Cassandra and the others were completely fine, with not even a single strand of their hair changed nor a small crumple on their dresses. As for Leo, his expression can\'t be described, his hair now looked similar to a bird\'s nest, his suit was almost removed from his body, both of his shoes was hanging on the window, and last but certainly not the least, there were many scratches covering his entire face. 

Gulped! Gulped! Gulped! Gulped! 

Numerous gulping sounds could be heard behind Ethan as Edward and the other men gulped a mouthful of saliva in fear and horror at the scene of Leo in front of them. 

"Guild Leader Loki!" Ethan immediately runs straight inside the carriage to begin checking Leo\'s condition the moment Cassandra and the others disembarked. After he finished checking, he turned to look at his wife Elaine and exclaimed, "Elaine, quickly cast a Recovery spell on Guild Leader Loki!" 

Whooooosh!

Elaine swiftly casted a Recovery spell to Leo, causing the scratches on his face to slowly heal.

"But how about the way Guild Leader Loki looked right now? We can\'t just allow him to attend the ball in such a messy state, right?" Elaine asked in frustration. She added, "He\'s currently wearing a Magic garment, so we can just easily fix his clothes, and the scratches on his face are also almost healed. However, his hair is a mess, his face looked terrible, and he is obviously no longer in the mood to attend the ball anymore!"

Hearing Elaine\'s explanation, Ethan quickly realized the reason why Cassandra and the others had beat up Leo, "Please tell me you didn\'t just do this to prevent Guild Leader Loki from attending the ball?"
