As a narcissist, Ainsley knew very well what beauty and handsomeness were!
‘Hmm, from my estimations, their appearance and charm should not be less than mine. Finally, a worthy opponent!’
Ainsley commented as he saw the appearance of the Elf King and Elf Princesses.
On the bigger throne that was situated at the central front of the throne room was where the Elf King sat, gazing at Ainsley.
Ainsley noticed their gazes on him but like them who were observing Ainsley’s every movement, the same went for Ainsley. Or more like, Ainsley focused more on observing their appearance!
The Elf King was a handsome middle-aged man who looked to be in his early thirties. There were no wrinkles present in his face and he looked to be in his prime.
With long golden blonde hair that was adorned with a golden crown, the golden crown on his head was inlaid with countless multi-colored jewels which looked priceless. The Elf King has a mature and flawless face that exuded nobility and an indifferent demeanor. His jade green eyes which reflected the beauty of nature were observing Ainsley’s every movement.
On the other hand, there was a smaller throne beside the Elf King. The Elf Princess sat on that throne.
With long waist-length silky and luscious silver hair that was tied into a twin-tails hairstyle, it was adorned with a golden tiara, making her look noble and beautiful.
The Elf Princess’ pair of golden eyes were filled with curiosity as she gazed at Ainsley’s handsome appearance. The Elf Princess’ appearance was beautiful and flawless, like a goddess who descended from the mortal world.
Her slim and petite figure sat on the throne nobly. Adorned in a beautiful white and green princess dress, her bust was a humble B-cup. She looked like a perfect porcelain doll, flawless and smooth.
The sunlight that entered the throne room had highlighted her milky white jade-like skin, adding more charm to her that intoxicated Ainsley.
‘I have to admit. Compared to those idols and models on Earth, they are nothing but toads in front of a beautiful swan like the Elf Princess!’
For a narcissist such as Ainsley, this was the highest recognition he could give to someone whose charm and appearance were equal to him.
Before Ainsley could continue marveling at the appearance of the two elven royalties especially the beauty of the Elf Princess, the Elf King informed him.
“I summoned you into the world of Eternia because I need a successor, an inheritor of my legacy. Since you have been successfully summoned, then you have fulfilled the requirements of becoming my successor.”
The Elf King spoke softly but his voice was clear. His lofty demeanor was refined and regal. There was a charm to his magnetic voice that was filled with charisma.
Of course, Ainsley was unaffected by it since Ainsley was confident that his voice and tone were as good as the Elf King’s. The only difference was that he didn’t have the noble and lofty demeanor of the Elf King.
But that wasn’t what Ainsley focused his attention on.
After he had comprehended the words of the Elf King and made sure that he heard them clearly, Ainsley replied with a hint of curiosity in his tone. “So, you have summoned me into this world, the world of Eternia? In other words, I have been summoned into another world?”
In response to Ainsley’s words, the Elf King nodded. “Yes, you have been summoned into another world.”
Since the Elf King managed to answer his doubts, Ainsley posed another question that bothered him after he was summoned into this world. “So, can I go back to my world? Since you can summon me into this world, then you should be able to return me to Earth.”
In response to Ainsley’s question, the Elf King shook his head. “Unfortunately, I can’t.”
“I can only summon you into this world since I had used ancient magic which was used to summon heroes from another world. But it has a huge downside which is the lack of magic spell to return the summoned heroes to their home world.”
“But if you were summoned by the human race instead of the elven race, they would have given you false hope and tricked you into believing that there is a way to go back to your home world. When in reality, it is impossible.”
“Those summoned heroes have quite the pitiful ending as they were used as nothing but tools to eliminate the respective kings of other races. The human race is lucky that their Pope was the apostle of the God of Light so they could easily summon multiple heroes.”
“Other races couldn’t even use the hero summoning magic while the elven race, which is the race that is the best in magic, could only copy it. But even the copied version of the hero summoning magic is limited to only one summoned hero.”
The Elf King started to explain the ancient magic that he had used to summon Ainsley Wagner into Eternia.
The Elf King’s voice was apologetic, but it also hinted confidence as if he had expected Ainsley’s question and prepared this answer beforehand.
“Remember that I had mentioned the requirement I had set when I summoned you? The requirements of becoming my successor included the fact that my successor doesn’t have any attachments and fetters to his home world.”
“Let me guess, you asked this question out of curiosity. But you don’t have the intention to return to your world, right?”
Hearing the Elf King’s question, Ainsley responded. “Yes. After all, in my world, it is quite monotonous and boring. It is devoid of magic and fantasy. As for my family, they will be able to understand my situation.”
“I presume you have already prepared for my compensation for summoning me into this world without my permission, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be this confident in dealing with me.”
When Ainsley inquired about his compensation, the Elf King replied amusedly. “Yes, I have.”
“So what do you want as your compensation? As long as it is within my capabilities and doesn’t put me and the entire elven race at a disadvantage, I will do my best to fulfill your requests.”
When Ainsley heard the Elf King’s assurance, he knew that he could ask almost anything he wanted. His imagination ran wild as his eyes darted across the room, surveying his surroundings.In the end, his eyes landed on the Elf Princess, and seeing her beautiful appearance, Ainsley already knew what his compensation would be.“I want the Elf Princess to become my wife!”When the Elf King and Elf Princess heard Ainsley’s words, they didn’t expect that he would ask for such compensation. Especially the Elf Princess who examined Ainsley’s handsome appearance and seeing that it was too handsome and charming, blushed and turned her head sideways out of embarrassment.Ainsley had already expected that those two elven royalties would refuse. After all, his demand for compensation was indeed excessive especially when he asked for the hand of marriage for the princess of the elf race.But to Ainsley’s surprise, he heard the Elf King’s acceptance of his demands. “Sure, what else do you want?”“Wa
“Wait, wait! Isn’t this too fast? Although I don’t disagree, I still have to prepare my mind.”“I don’t mind. If you want, like what father has said, we can start the wedding now.”When Ainsley complained, it wasn’t the Elf King who replied this time but the Elf Princess.With a soft yet charming voice, the Elf Princess continued. “Don’t worry. I have already prepared myself for this day. The elf race is in a precarious state with the war against the other major races in this world. And my father is getting old so he needs a successor and I also need a husband to… protect me…”Although at first, the Elf Princess was confident with her words, the volume of her voice slowly became lower as a blush crept up on her face.The Elf Princess might be currently more powerful than Ainsley, but she knew that she needed a husband to protect her. After all, the successor of her father must be a powerful young man.As not only the princess of the elf race but also a young girl, she dreamed of falli
Hearing Ainsley’s question, the Elf King immediately answered. “The human race was too ambitious and they wanted to conquer the lands of all the races in this world and become build the largest human empire.”“It just so happened that the human race’s border was adjacent to the demon race’s. Because of that, the human race attempted to invade the demon race first which started a war between the human race and the demon race.”“The demon king was infuriated by the audacity of the human race so in retaliation, he kidnapped the human queen and impregnated her with his seed. Because of that, the human king was cuckolded and he waged a full-scale war against the demon race.”When the Elf King reminisced about the past, he sighed with a gloomy expression on his face. “This wouldn’t have developed into a five-way war if it wasn’t for the dwarf race fishing for trouble by harassing the human race and demon race whenever those two races showed weakness.”“As if that wasn’t enough, the human ra
Faced with Ainsley’s question, the Elf King answered after some thought. “Assuming we have a ten-point overall potential evaluation as the maximum… A human has a potential of 1, a dwarf has a potential of 3, a demon has a potential of 5, an elf has a potential of 6, a dragon has a potential of 9, and a hero has a potential of 10.”“As for you, from my estimation, your potential has already exceeded 10 and is at least 11.”“This is the average overall potential evaluation for the members of all races. So even if a human has a potential of 1, their prodigy is several times higher than it. Same with other races. Unfortunately, the human race is too blessed and their prodigies could defeat our prodigies and the prodigies of other races.”Ainsley was naturally pleased when he was evaluated highly by the Elf King and he knew that the Elf King was unlikely to lie to him regarding that. After all, if that was a lie, it could easily be exposed later on when the Elf King would check his talent
After a few minutes worth of contemplation, Ainsley finally decided. “I am willing to inherit your legacy and marry your daughter.”Hearing Ainsley’s words, Beluar was delighted. “Since you agreed, then let us formally introduce ourselves!”“I am Beluar Ruvyn Triandal Deux Liarieth, the 12th generation king of the elf race!”After Beluar finished his introduction, the Elf Princess who was silent at the side finally spoke. “Floryn Shalheira Virdieu Deux Liarieth, the princess of the elf race.”Floryn’s soft and melodic voice made Ainsley’s heart skip a beat. It was like meeting your crush and your crush talking to you. Such wonderful emotions and anticipation made Ainsley nervous but he immediately regained his confidence.“I am Ainsley Wagner, the future king of the elf race and the heir of the 12th generation king of the elf race!”Ainsley’s introduction undoubtedly allowed him to obtain a good impression from Beluar and Floryn. After all, his introduction meant that he had already a
Floryn’s heart melted upon hearing Ainsley’s oath. She felt warmth surging in her heart as countless positive emotions budded in her heart.Seeing how manly and resolute Ainsley was in marrying her, Floryn who was nervous no longer hesitated.She spoke without any hesitation. “I, Floryn Shalheira Virdieu Deux Liarieth, swear to the heavens to take this boy right in front of my eyes, who is the most handsome and charming existence in my heart, as my husband. I swear on my mana, blood, family, ancestors, and the world to always love him dearly. I will be happy in his glory and support him in his difficult times. I’ll take good care of him whenever he is sick and will do my best to protect him in times of danger.”When Floryn spoke these words, she wanted to look away in a different direction out of embarrassment. But seeing how this was the most special day of her life and Ainsley was sincere in marrying her, Floryn didn’t put up any resistance and decided to be bold for once!Albeit, F
“When creating my identity, it must not be too suspicious but can attract their attention to the point that they will think it's absurd.”After giving Beluar and Floryn an idea of his plan, Ainsley continued, “For example, it will be impossible to make my identity a half-elf since my bloodline is purely human. And even making my identity as a wandering human adventurer is impossible since I don’t have any license in this world.”“I need an identity that proves that I am a native in this world, yet at the same time, doesn’t need any proof of identity.”Hearing Ainsley’s words, Beluar and Floryn didn’t interrupt Ainsley since they knew that he wasn’t done with his suggestion yet.“If I am not mistaken, there is such thing as slavery in this world, right?” Ainsley asked Beluar for confirmation.“Yes, there is. But wait, you can’t possibly be thinking of using the identity of a human slave?!” Beluar answered Ainsley’s question but as a wise king, he already guessed about Ainsley’s plan.I
After Ainsley made up his mind to obtain the identity of a human slave, Beluar and Floryn no longer dissuaded him. They knew that his plan was plausible.There might be better alternatives, but currently, it was the best option that they could choose. They didn’t have the luxury to waste more time since the world was currently at war and the other major races were eying the elf race’s land and resources.Seeing that Beluar and Floryn agreed with his plan, Ainsley decided to suggest something. “How about I take a week's worth of break so that I can adapt to this world?”“If I am not mistaken, the Liarieth Royal Palace has a royal library, right? So can I use it for a week since I plan to learn about the history of this world and adapt to this world’s culture?”Hearing Ainsley’s words, Beluar replied, “I don’t see the reason why not.”“I will grant you a week's worth of vacation. You can tour around the palace during that time. After that, I will awaken your mana and let you inherit my
