Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 165 Uxtan Kingdom Vs The Kingdom Of Twilight (10)



"Oh, are you trying to find this?" I ask, pulling out the wooden bow that dropped next to her.

It was a wooden bow with gold engravings in it. The ends of the bow did a part spiral that gave off a mystical feeling.

"GIVE THAT BACK!" The elf girl shouts, sweat dripping from every orifice of her body.

Oh… what a panicked and great reaction. So it seems this thing is significant to her… or maybe to somebody else?

"And why should I do that?" I ask the elf girl, who was shaking in fear but also anger.

"G-G-G-GIVE IT BACK!" The elf girl shouts once again, but this time she lashes out with her hand, trying to snatch it from me.

All I do is move it slightly to the side to where it was just out of her reach. She looked like a baby who was reaching for a toy that was too far for her to grab.

"Aaaaaa... is little elf girl's arm so short she can't reach her little bow?" I ask as if I was speaking to a baby.

"G-GIVE IT BACK, YOU BITCH!"

Why is she so keen on wanting this back? It looks to be not even soul equipment… so why?

Still confused, I decided to [Inspect] the bow, make sure I wasn't missing anything.

[Enchants: [Blessing of the Chief Elf]

"Oh… blessed by the chief elf? I wonder who that is?" I ask, turning the bow in all directions to get a better look at it.

"G-GIVE IT BACK-"

"Alright, I heard you! But, geez, will you shut the hell up for one second," I cut off the elf, making her seethe in anger.

"Oi, tell me why you want this back so bad, and I'll give it back to you,"

The elf was blinder than a bat as she immediately opened her mouth. It seems she was so desperate that she didn't even realize the blatant lie that I had just spoken to her face.

"I-I-It's my village's treasure! B-before I was banished from my village; my brother snuck this out for me… I-it's the only thing I have to remember where I came from and the love of my brother," The elf shouted, tears running down her face.

Though there were tears, she strangely had a smile, clearly expecting me to give it back to her… it was honestly kind of sad how easily I manipulated her… plus this was another reason I stopped Akito from killing her... this [Banished] title.

The elf girl reached out her hand towards the bow, but I slowly pulled it back.

"Y-you said you would give it back! Give it back!" The elf girl shouts, almost choking on her salivae.

"No, no, no. Tell me how you got this [Banished] title," I say, bending my legs to where my head was only slightly above hers.

"T-then will you give it back to me!?"

"Of course,"

That was a lie.

"O-okay, I'll tell you,"

Ah… she would make the perfect pet… maybe I should do that? Nobody would reject it. I don't even think Homura would reject it since she hates traitors just as much as me.

"I-I tried to defend a traitor who was my childhood friend… I didn't know he was a traitor initially, and I guess I was the only one who had no suspicion of him. That's probably why he tried to stick around me and get me to prove his 'innocence.' I'm such an idiot.

I-I kept defending him year after year, all the while he was coming in contact with humans. Finally, after a couple more years, he brought an entire army to our village for us to be sold as slaves while he got to obtain a high-ranking status in the human kingdom.

Most of us were able to get away, and I was one of them… but once we found a new place to settle down, I was instantly banished… I-I explained, so please give it back. I want to hold it- no, touch it… Please, that bow is basically my only family left…" The elf girl cries out.

"Then why are you working with humans when they're the ones who did this to you? Huh?"

"B-because I'm trying to kill my childhood friend, so I can go back to the village,"

So she needs information within the human kingdoms to kill her childhood friend... and she wants to kill her childhood friend to make up for all the trouble she caused. Then she could go back to the village...

What a touching story… well, not that I care.

"N-now can I have it back? P-please,"

"Nope!"

The elf girl's jaw hangs in shock as I stand up and walk over to her past legs that I cut off. Her face then turns into horror as she sees me take a bite out of the calf, causing blood to gush down my throat.

"Hmmm… not as many skills…."

I shrug off the disappointing results before walking back over to the crying and miserable elf.

"If you want this back… then become my pet," I say, with a smile while bending down to the elf's face level.

"N-no! Just give me my bow back! I told you everything you asked for!"

"I don't think you understand your situation," I say, my expression quickly changing.

To add more phycological pressure, I activate [True Queen Overlords Dominating Presence]. Drops of sweat immediately run down the elf's slim and beautiful face, causing even more fear to sink in.

"Oh? I guess I'll eat this as well. Maybe it will give me another skill?" I mutter, holding my mouth over the wooden bow.

It gave off a fresh scent of pinewood which kind of killed my appetite.

"W-wait! I-I'll do it! Just if you promise to give back my bow! I-I'll become your pet. N-no, I'll even become your footrest!" The elf girl shouts, somehow displaying even more desperation than before.

"Okay… *clap* *clap,"

I clap my hands, signaling for Yin to appear… which she did only a few seconds later.

"Yes, Master?"

"Bring me one of the collars from the dungeon. I just got a new pet,"

"M-Master… Isn't Yin enough? She can be an even better pet if you want?"

"Yin, go get it now,"

I wasn't in the mood for Yin's sulking as I wanted to get this out of the way as fast as possible.

"I-I'm sorry! I'll be a good girl and get the collar!" Yin shouts, immediately sinking into the dark of night.

"You see this. This is what you'll become once I'm finished with your training,"

"O-okay,"

"Speak with respect, pet!"

"Y-yes, master!" The elf girl shouts back, freezing in fear.

[Congratulations, [Alexa] is now your pet!]

[Would you like to name her?]

"Do you want a new name?" I ask Alexa who was properly prostrated in front of me.

She was sitting on her knees, back straight, and hands in her lap.

"I-I would prefer to keep my name,"

"Okay then... no," I mutter under my breath.

[Alexa has kept her name]

After about 3 long minutes of waiting, Yin had appeared in front of me with a large metal collar. And without hesitation, I pick it up and cut my finger, letting the thick red blood drip onto the metal collar.

"Alright, hold out your neck," I say, taking a glance at Alexa.

She follows my orders and holds out her neck, eyes squeezed shut.

The collar then suddenly jumps out of my hand and lunges at Alexa. It immediately opened itself up and latched around her neck, causing her to choke at the uncomfortable feeling and slight suffocating feeling.

"M-master! I can't breathe!" Alexa shouts as she claws at the collar.

"You'll be fine,"

As soon as I said that, the collar had finished its process, leaving Alexa exhausted. Tears began to flow down her neck again as she looked up at me in fear.

"Good,"

I nod my head in satisfaction.

"Prostrate yourself!"

"Yes, Master!"

Alexa immediately kowtows towards me while continuing to shake in fear.

"Now, you'll be going through your training later… but for now, kiss my foot to prove your loyalty," I say, reaching out my heel towards her.

"A-as you wish,"

She slowly takes off my heel and reveals my slender foot. Alexa immediately knew what to do and grabbed the bottom with both hands and moved her lips ever so closely to the top of my foot.

Her lips meet my foot slightly as she kisses it before retreating.

"Don't attack me or gather anybody to attack me. You are forbidden from hurting anybody I deem my ally… And finally, don't try to escape or sabotage my kingdom," I order, using the influence of the collar.

"As you wish," Alexa says while letting go of my foot gently.
