Chapter 1450: Elfina And Fiere

—–

Elfina looked into the mirror as she seemed to be quite tired. Fiere was at her side, caressing her hair with a groom. She seemed to be quite happy to have her back, but Elfina had gone through so many things by now to the point she felt quite tired. She looked into the mirror and she had bags below her eyes.

“Ugh, I spent like a month with those humans… Sigh. I just want to relax for now… My mother got a bit too stubborn with forcing Kireina to become our guardian. She clearly doesn’t want to.” Elfina sighed.

“Well, that’s true, my lady…” Sighed Fiere. “That Summon, Kireina, shouldn’t she be able to obey any commands you gave to her? I also support the Queen… It would be highly beneficial for the survival of the elves to have her here, especially because even the Guardian cannot do everything on his own…”

“I have yet to try doing that with Kireina, but I believe it wouldn’t be possible… I think I tried doing it in the Human Kingdom when I asked her to stop slaughtering humans, but she ignored me…” She sighed. “I’ve seen way too much blood these last two days…”

“A summon that cannot obey her summoner… Isn’t that very troublesome? And seeing how much power she possess… It wouldn’t be good to have her at our side if she carries such a great level of might without any restraints.” Said Fiere. She was being rather bold with her words, but they were all on behalf of the safety of Elfina. She thought that having such a dangerous monster with Elfina would be bad. She couldn’t help but think that if Kireina had bad temper one day, she could easily just slaughter Elfina the same way she threatened the Queen.

“What are you talking about, Fiere? It was thanks to Kireina that I am alive right now…” Sighed Elfina. “If it wasn’t for her, the humans of that Kingdom would had punished me… My Summoning Powers were very bad even thought I had the Summoner Job… I could only summon Kireina with the ancient Grimoire of Summoning they had, and anything else was just junk. They were going to execute me because they called what I summoned garbage that was offending them. In fact they were also going to kill Kireina too… And those soldiers had been looking at me with weird eyes for a while… God knows what sort of horrors they would had done to me before killing me… Kireina saved me from all those horrors… Rather rudely so, but still…”

“I-I see… Well, she really did quite a lot of things.” Said Fiere. “Fully knowing all of this has made me realize that she’s indeed quite a trustworthy ally, I suppose…” Sighed Fiere as she looked at Elfina all done. “Now my lady, you should go take a rest until tomorrow morning. Your father want to hold a meeting with you, your mother, Kireina and the Guardian to talk about what might come in the future, and the plans about helping Kireina go back to her world.” Fiere led Elfina to her bed and gave her a kiss in her forehead like she usually did ever since Elfina was a little baby girl.

“Good night Fiere.” Elfina, closing her eyes.

“Good night my lady.” Said Fiere with a warm smile, caressing Elfina’s hair and then slowly walking outside of the room. She rested over the closed door for a little bit, thinking about many things.

“(Demons had been seen from very afar, and it seems that the Human Nations had suddenly gathered in the Kingdom that Kireina attacked… I don’t know what the future awaits but… it is not something pretty.)” She thought, gritting her teeth. “(At the very least, I hope that Kireina can remain with us until we resolve those problems. If we are attacked by so many enemies at the same time from different areas, it would be incredibly troublesome… I have powerful Fire Magic and my Job also makes me a strong Magical Attacker… I will have to fight as well to protect the Kingdom and my lady.)” Fiere walked away in silence, thinking about the fights that the near future might bring.

…Meanwhile, within another area of the castle, inside of the chamber where the Queen and the King slept together, the Elf Queen had been with a strong fever ever since her fit of rage with Kireina and Elfina. The King was worried, using magic to heal her didn’t seemed to work for some reason. Her body was completely healthy, but there was some sort of strange magic affecting her mind and her head, making her have a lot of fever as a result.

“My wife… please resist! Bring me the Treasure of the Kingdom, the Golden Staff!” Said the King to the Maids.

“T-The staff?!”

“Yes, that one! Bring it… it is the only thing that can help her now! That powerful staff has the power of dispelling curses! My wife… she had been cursed by somebody.” Said the King. The Maids quickly ran away, leaving him and the queen alone. He held her hand tightly, worried sick about his beloved wife. She had been indeed acting strange lately. She usually was cheerful and gentle, but she suddenly had become rather greedy and grumpy this last week… Elfina was finally back and they should had been happy about it, but instead she was throwing a fit of rage… it was all too weird.

“Hang in there, dear… I’ll heal you…” He said.

“Dear…” The queen murmured, as the King quickly moved his face near her to listen to her words.

“Yes? My wife, did you say something?” He asked.

“Dear…”

Suddenly, the two eyes met, as the Queen’s mouth opened wide open and her eyes rolled white, darkness suddenly began to seep out of her mouth, reaching the Elf King’s mouth and forcefully entering his mouth as well, infecting him with Malice beyond comprehension!

“Uuuaaggh…!”

Darkness… was creeping through.

The laughter of a man looking the forest from afar, high into the skies resonated in the empty grasslands surrounding the elven territory.

“It seems that the Curse of Greed is expanding… Good. It would be a nice time to attack now… We wouldn’t want the humans to get in our way.”
