Demon Queen Rebirth: I Reincarnated as a Living Armor?!

Chapter 194 - Side : The Concerned Elven Woman

-----

As Graham, Albert and Percy walked towards the knights in training to instill some faith and tales about the god Bestellen and the Bright Gods, from within a nearby building, a shadow glanced at the scenery unfold in silence.

??

Its body seemed to be that of a woman with pale white skin, slender and tall figure, long blonde hair, and bright pink eyes. Her most notorious feature was her incredibly youthful and soft-looking skin, her beautiful face, and her pointed ears, she was an elf.

"This man… he never stops for a single second to even rest, isn't he?" she wondered while glancing through the window. She was currently wearing a long cape that covered her body and also her head, barely revealing her lips within the darkness produced by the shadow of such clothing, however, if one were to see more detailed, it would be easily noticeable that she was wearing rather provocative clothes unbefitting of the position and age of the elven woman.

"Oh? Is that Graham fooling around again? He is really a clown, isn't he? Being weaker than the other constellations had made him more insane. The other four are not even close to his level of insanity, to be honest…" said the cocky voice of a young man, emerging from within the shadows of the closed room where the elven woman was. A man whose face was covered in a jester-like mask and whose hair was long and purple, he wore clothes resembling those of an assassin, and he had two long blades coated in purple metals resting at each side of his hips.

"Yes… yet, for such stupid task as this, he's the best option for the task. None other of the four constellations would be as willing to travel all the way here just to hunt a little kid that killed some piss poor bandits," said the elven woman, talking with a tone and words unbefitting of her elven lineage.

"Oh my! Could it be that the old Amanda's heart is melting over the poor half-demon boy? Do you want to protect him now or something?" asked the man while releasing a chuckle.

"What? Do not talk nonsense, Gregor. I have no interest in a half-demon child. It was his bad luck for being born as one, to begin with. He should blame his lustful parents for mating despite knowing that one day their child would be chased and killed," said the elven woman, named Amanda.

"Oopsie! So cold! I am freezing right now with that heart of yours, Amanda-san~! Fufu" laughed the man as he walked near the elven woman.

"And what are you even doing in here, Gregor? Did those sent you take a peek on me?" asked Amanda to the masked man, Gregor.

"Well, you know how things are! Work is work, right? I am quite faithful with my Empire, so I have to do this! Do not get mad! We are all allies anyways, part of the same faction, the Nine Shadow Eyes!" said Gregor while releasing another chuckle.

"Yeah, I know, you don't have to repeat it every time. It is not like I don't know where I work… Gregor, you can go back home, my duty in here is finished anyways…" said Amanda.

"Hmm~ Is that so? Is that really so? Are you not planning anything behind the scenes, little kitty~?" asked Gregor teasingly, albeit his aura seemed to be shrouded in bloodthirst.

"That they sent you here means that they do not trust me completely, even after all these years working with them… They're really the worst assholes, you know?" said Amanda.

"But well, nothing we can do about that, dear! Your divination abilities are incredibly unique even amongst Heroes! Being given the Divine Protection of the Goddess of Vision is really unique quality of yours! But there is always the catch that our divinations might come altered due to some miscalculation! I am here simply to watch over, don't worry, I won't bite you… yet~" said Gregor.

"Sigh… Are you going to watch over even when I want to change clothes or take a bath? Can't I have a bit of privacy?" asked Amanda.

"Well, maybe if I bathe with you…"

"Shut up! You perverted old man!" roared Amanda.

"Old man? And do you think you are any better after having lived three hundred years, old woman?" asked the man as he merged once again within the shadows of the room.

"I am going to watch over Graham, so behave well, little kitty!" he said, finally giving some time to breathe in peace to the worn-down Elven.

"That damned Emperor and her council of old men… Even after having served them for so long they still cannot trust me…? I hate this job… I want to retire already…" thought Amanda while glancing at the window.

Then, she remembered the divination she did, where she managed to see over Ervas and Veronica's current position and also the future that come to them…

"Those two… I cannot do much for you other than to slightly delay things without awakening suspiciousness… If my superiors were to finally realize my slight deviancy towards the Dark Gods, I would certainly be killed and not given a proper retirement, what a pain…" she thought.

Amanda, the elven woman with divination capabilities was the one responsible for letting Graham and the rest know about Ervas staying in the Devil Forest for a long time. She was a talented elf with the divine protection of the Goddess of Vision, alongside her special lineage of Elves whose abilities to do divinations seemed rather outstanding.

However, her tribe was annihilated long ago through natural disasters and she was given a second opportunity inside the Empire of Bestellen, the largest nation in the Continent of Anir Hands and the one centered right in the middle of the continent, possessing enough power and authority to order all the other Kingdoms and Nations to do their bidding.

Due to her outstanding abilities and her strength that kept pushing her forward, Amanda became part of the Nine Shadow Eyes, a group of special forces made by the Empire to do all types of work 'behind the scenes' for the aristocrats of the Empire and also for the benefit of the church of Bright Gods.

Amanda was often employed all over the continent to do her precious and often accurate divinations of what is to come. However, recently, she had stopped giving as many divinations as before, awakening the suspiciousness of the Emperor and his council.

Due to such event, she was given a 'tracker', who was, funnily enough, of the same group as her, one of the Nine Shadow Eyes, Gregor, who was known for his Assassin Techniques and his ability to merge into shadows for better traveling. He was simply the best spy that the Empire could ever have.

"I hope… that they can survive, somehow… Well, I cannot do much any longer… The rest depends on those two and the large family they had forged…" thought Amanda as she sighed, sitting in her bed, and then feeling dizzy after overusing her ability.
