Chapter 1062: Taking Care Of The Future Of Elves
-----
After the conversation was over and the Soul Oath, using a special Spirit Artifact was done, I went to talk with Elfriedden and Rosenheim in private. When I entered their room, I saw the two of them smooching.
"Do you forgive me honeybun? I'm sorry if I was a bit rough, you know I love you, right?" Rosenheim caressed Elfriedden's face. "You're my beautiful icy cold prince~"
"Hmph, well, if you apologize that much, it can't be helped!" Elfriedden blushed as he was being happily pampered by Rosenheim.
Perhaps I should remain in silence while they are doing their things, it would be rude to interrupt now that they're apologizing to one another.
"…"
When they noticed me looking at them with a dead serious face, the two froze.
"Why didn't you knock?!" they screamed at the same time.
Rosenheim started throwing at me chairs while Elfriedden fired a few icicle spears.
I barrier of Umbral Crimson swallowed all attacks with ease, teleporting them inside of my Crimson Shadows.
"Come on now, don't get angry, I just needed to talk about things in private…"
Your next chapter is on mvl
They glared at me and kept throwing everything in the room, I suppose they were quite flustered and embarrassed about that.
"I also do talks like these with my girlfriends, so I understand that sometimes alone time is needed, don't feel embarrassed."
I tried to be empathetic with their situation.
"W-Why are you talking about that?!" Elfriedden became even angrier.
"That only makes it worse!" Rosenheim said.
"Hah…"
After half an hour, we were able to resume civil conversations, these two have some things they're very similar on, such as temperament.
Both are very quick-tempered, I would say.
"So you wanted to speak about how we're doing this?" wondered Rosenheim. "Yeah, I wanted to talk about you about this too. I suppose we can't talk about it with everyone else…"
"Yeah," I nodded. "I have a few plans, but what do you have in mind?"
"I was thinking on crippling them when you tried to help them awaken their Spirit Orbs, so they are left powerless and I can beat them in a duel," said Rosenheim with a smirk.
"Well, they still have their basic stats, levels, and skills, so I wouldn't say they're completely powerless…" I commented.
"Blake's father Spirit Orb is stuck at Rank 1, but he was able to grow stronger in a different way, becoming incredibly powerful," said Elfriedden. "So there's nothing saying they can't do the same thing."
"Ugh, really?" wondered Rosenheim.
"It would be too obvious too," I said. "The only way is… to either kill them or control them. I can brainwash them for you."
"W-Wait, you can?" Rosenheim wondered.
"Isn't this going too far?" Elfriedden said. "Can't we beat them normally through a political dispute? We can take over lost territory and they will only be able to do so much!"
"Yeah but they will ultimately take away what belonged to them, amass troops, and wage war again right afterwards," Rosenheim said. "We have to trike while the iron is hot. Brainwashing them… Well, I don't really care about any of them, they are all assholes from other families. Despite their families being dead, even now they were only caring about all the money and land they lost."
"Then I have your permission?" I asked with a smile, my Umbral Crimson Aura surging from my body, as my eyes started to shine bright red. "No take backs."
"You can do that, just don't kill them… Nor make the brainwashing apparent," said Rosenheim, her face looking serious and rather sharp. "If we want to rebuild this place, scum like those that only slow things down are not needed. I want them all below my control."
"Leave it to me then," I nodded. "And don't worry, Elfriedden, it is not exactly true brainwashing. More like… convincing."
"C-Convincing?" wondered Elfriedden. "Don't torture them! They're still noble elves! You must treat them with respect and honor!"
"Elfriedden…" Rosenheim glared at him. "What did I said about not getting involved in my conversations?"
"I-I know what you meant but even then…" he looked worried.
"Don't worry," I said. "I can guarantee you that they will be treated fairly and not suffer or go through pain… Then, I will be on my way."
I disappeared from there, using Shadow Teleportation to rapidly move through different buildings, arriving within the area where the nobles were hospitalized. Some of them had yet to wake up, so I went towards them.
"Hmm, look at your little face."
I know this might be a bit ironic or of bad taste, but I suppose there's nothing else I can do in this situation.
They are not needed for the future of the elves, so just become puppets for me, will you?
My soul waved, emerging out of my body, I quickly cut a piece of it, as an ethereal, disgusting-looking worm emerged, with sharp fangs and crimson eyes.
This was, obviously, the {Demonic Soul Parasite of Greed}.
Yes, they just had this inside of them a few days ago, and they're getting a new one inside.
"Gyeeh! Gyeeeh!"
The creature was giving a monstrous little groan, quite amusing to see in action.
"Don't worry, mine won't turn you into monstrosities."
I dropped the worm into the fat, arrogant-looking elf man's face, as it quickly passed through its flesh and physical body, entering the soul, and digging deep through it.
I did the same thing with all political adversaries, taking them out of the picture even before they woke up, those that woke up were quickly forced to sleep using my magic, then feed the parasite.
"Good, that should be enough."
I stepped out of the building after that, it was already night, so after reporting what I did to Rosenheim, we moved to have dinner.
She had reacted surprisingly calm after hearing that, and she even smiled rather maliciously.
This woman was quite something, but she had her heart in the right place.
She was just… a bit extreme at times.
Once the next day arrived, the nobles had woken up and were healed.
Their response to Rosenheim and Elfriedden's proposal was… surprisingly nice.
It was as if their personality had shifted from one day to another.
How funny.
