Elven Legacy (Part 2)

Chapter 247: Elaine's True Self

While Elif, Goliath, and Birger were walking the palace's halls, talking about women and using much more vulgar language than usual, things were beginning to escalate within Elaine's rooms as Elaine finally showed her true face.

Successfully shooing Brother away, I ordered Maxim to wait outside before closing and locking the door by activating a formation, which isolated my room from the rest of the OverRealm, temporarily making it a separate dimension.

"Hmm, where are Birger and Goliath, Princess Elaine?" Asked Shelia curiously while sitting down as she, Echo, Sarah, and Eyvor looked at Elaine, who had her back facing them.

"They're busy." Replied Elaine, though no longer was her voice happy and soft; instead, it was indifferent while traces of killing intent laced her words, causing everyone to frown slightly.

"Is something the matter, Your Highness?" Asked Idonea carefully as she stood up and approached Elaine while Illumia, Nerthus, and Marley all backed away, feeling as if something was wrong.

"Your Highness is everything al-argh!" Added Idonea as she gently placed her hand atop Elaine's shoulder, but just before she could, Elaine grabbed her wrist and twisted her arm.

"Don't touch me with your filthy hands, you whore, Idonea." Stated Elaine angrily as she squeezed Idonea's wrist, causing her to kneel in pain while holding her arm.

"I-I'm a-apologize, Y-Your Highness." Said Idonea respectfully despite the intense pain as she bit her lip and kept her head down in silence while everyone watching was taken aback.

"W-What's Princess Elaine doing?" Asked Echo with a slight frown as she looked at Elaine, though she didn't intervene as it was a matter between master and servant, something she had no right to get involved with.

"S-She's punishing her, but this seems like an unnecessarily heavy punishment for merely touching her; I wouldn't be surprised if it were a demon doing this; no offense, Echo, but an Elf? I've seen Prince Elif furious before, but the circumstance was different." Remarked Eyvor with a deep frown as she gave Echo a faint smile before focusing on Elaine, only to hear a sickening crunch.

Gripping Idone's arm, I squeezed it with all my might, crushing her arm, and despite how much I wished to kill her, I had to give her props; she didn't make so much as a noise; still, that wasn't going to save her.

"T-Thank you, P-Princess Ela-" Said Idonea respectfully when she felt Elaine finally release her hand, though she couldn't finish speaking as a hand tightly wrapped itself around her throat before lifting her into the air.

"Speak another word, and I'll rip your breasts off." Declared Elaine with a furious expression as she glared at Idonea in her hand before chucking her at Marley, who was too surprised to react in time.

"I think it would be best to speak with Prince Elif before personally punishing his servants on his behalf, Princess Elaine." Said Eyvor softly, oblivious to the signals Illumia was giving her as suddenly, a curved black blade appeared before her neck.

"Utter Brother's name from your disgusting mouth again, and I'll kill you, Eyvor." Said Elaine, standing behind Eyvor while holding Orcus in her hand as she pressed her scythe against Eyvor's neck, petrifying her.

Seeing Eyvor just sit there without moving, I lightly smiled and brought Orcus away before walking out from behind her, only to see her terrified expression while everyone else, except Queen Nerthus and Illumia, were warily eyeing me.

"I think it's time I properly introduce ourselves to everyone; only Illumia here knows the real me." Declared Elaine with a slightly crazed expression as she tossed Orcus onto her bed before glancing at Illumia and Mandy, with the latter helping Marley and Idonea to stand.
