I can’t believe I am stuck with this human. Ella thought in the privacy of her mind.
Ella could not believe that she bounded with a woman who could not even use mana. To save the world, she needed a child host that had S-class and above mana level. But who would have thought that the person who met the criteria was a human girl?
“So, does the system work?” Helena asked with her mind.
“The rules are simple. All you have to do is, open the system store and pay for the skills or techniques you want to learn.” Ella replied in a nonchalant tone while filing her nails. She could not bother explaining seriously to a female child who was useless to her. The only reason she hasn’t left is that she could not leave the child’s body unless she dies.
“But there is no use in learning them because all the skills and techniques in this world require mana control, and guess what?” Ella asked in a mocking tone.
“What?” Helena replied.
“You have so much mana, but you can’t use any. hahaha. If I was born as a human female, I would have killed myself. Ella said while laughing.
Helena stared at Ella, who was laughing and frowned. “Look at the kettle calling the pot black.”
The words turned Ella’s laughter into a frown. Even though she had never heard of these words or understood their meaning but she felt insulted by them. “What does that mean?” she asked as she stared at Helena with a maddened gaze.
“Why should I tell you? Since you are the all-knowing fairy system, figure it out yourself. Helena replied.
Ella, in a rage, flew onto Helena’s head and pulled her smooth silver hair. “If you don’t tell me what it means, I’ll continue pulling.”
“Ouch! that fucking hurts! You piece of shit fairy stop pulling my hair.” Helena shook her head left and right, but Ella wouldn’t stop.
“Ok! I will tell you… just stop pulling my hair… ouch.” Helena said
“Ok. am listening. What does it mean?” Ella asked in desperation and anger.
“Come closer so I can tell you properly,” Helena said.
Ella flew in front of Helena’s face. “I am closer now, so stop wasting my time and tell me what the words meant, human.”
An evil smirk appears on Helena’s face. She moves her hand into the air, catching Ella in her palm. “Hahaha! Stupid bitch, I got you now,” she said while swinging her hand back and forth, causing Ella to feel dizzy.

Three days later
In the throne room.
“I greet the glorious sun of the empire.” Izaak greeted in respect on one knee and bowed his head towards the emperor sitting on the throne.
“Why did you seek an audience with me, Izaak?” the emperor asked in an indifferent tone.
He raised his head while still on one knee. “Your majesty, I am here to report the situation in Coplay. After investigating, I discovered that a member of the Coplay royal family survived. A child who was born out of wedlock. His mother was a princess who ran away with a commoner, so during the unification, we missed them.”
*Bang*
A loud sound roared as the emperor stomped on the floor in rage, causing the throne room to vibrate. Izaak knew the emperor wasn’t angry because of the boy, but the hope he brought. Hope is like a plague. Once it infects, it spreads like fire in a forest. The emperor made it his goal during the north’s unification to slay every royal family bloodline in each conquered kingdom. But no one would have predicted that a princess ran away from the palace with a commoner.
“Izaak! do I have to tell you what to do? Kill him!” The emperor yelled in a rage.
“Your majesty, I sent the dark squad to kill him, but before they could, he was protected by the ‘Thorka empire’ knights,” Izaak replied.
Thorka empire was the richest and strongest empire on the continent until ten years ago. Ten years ago, when Emperor Maximus von Murla set his site on conquest. Thorka Empire sent an emissary to dissuade them from attacking the northern kingdoms whom they shared an alliance with. But the Emperor beheaded the emissary.
Maybe this is their revenge for what happened ten years ago. Izaak thought in his mind.
“Thorka. They think they can interfere with my plans! I’ll burn them to the ground!” Maximus yelled in rage. His voice, which carried mana in them, caused the maids who were walking past the throne room to faint in fear.
The emperor stood up from his throne, walk past Izaak who was still on one knee and walked towards the door.
*Bang*
He pushed open the door. “Get me the council.” He commanded.
Izaak instantly knew that the emperor was relaying the command to him, so he stood up from his knees and bowed. “Yes, your majesty.”
Location: Thorka EmpireRoyal Palace“We have arrived.” The knight said respectfully while standing outside the carriage.The carriage door opened, and a hand stretched out from it. It is a custom for a man to help a lady out of the carriage, so the knight held her hand, assisting her off the carriage. As soon as she came out, the knight was stunned by her beauty. He could not help but stare.“Thank you, sir knight,” she said with a smile.The lady’s words shocked him out of his thought. “No-no, it is an honor to serve you. my lady,” he said as he kissed the back of her hand, which was covered in white, smooth gloves. Elric heard rumors that princess Coplay, Aria Coplay., was the most beautiful creature in the world. Every man that laid eyes on her fell in love. But rumors are rumors, they are usually exaggerated. But what he saw in front of him was no exaggeration. She had long wavy ocean-blue hair and beautiful blue eyes, but what made her more breathtaking was her face, which look
As soon as princess Aria entered the Throne room, she could see the difference between a small kingdom in the north and an Empire. The throne was so humongous she could imagine fitting Coplay’s throne room five times in it. Not only was it huge, but beautiful too.If they gave Coplay the money used to decorate this throne room, we wouldn’t have been a third-class kingdom that could be destroyed easily. Aria thought in her mind as she was stunned by how beautiful the room was.She saw four giant pillars placed vertically on both sides of the hall, and in between these pillars were huge Thorka empire flags hung on the walls. giving off an aura of power.As aria got closer to the throne, she could feel sharp gazes from the nobles as she walks between them toward the emperor.As a princess who had experience in the world of nobility, she could tell what each gaze meant. Some were full of lust toward her beauty, while others were full of curiosity and disgust. She ignored them as she conti
“What happened?” Archduke asked the knights, who fell onto the ground.One of the knights responds, “Your grace you said she was dead, but she just moved.”Archduke Lelouch frowned as he stared at the knight. “Are you saying I lied?” He asked. The Lelouch family controls all doctors, nurses, and medical pharmacies in the Empire. From a young age, they teach the successor’s medical knowledge. But Alad Lelouch was a genius at both medicine and sword. He became a certified doctor at eighteen and a first-class Aura user at twenty. So, saying that he misdiagnose a dead person would be a dishonor to the Lelouch line.The Knight stood up from the ground and bowed his head. “My Apologies, your grace.” He apologized. They tried carrying her again, but as soon as they touched her. Her eyes opened. The knights backed away quickly due to the shock. Her eyes were a different color. They changed from a beautiful blue to a burning red.A burst of loud laughter echoed. “Ha hahaha. She couldn’t even k
A deafening whistling sound echoed, as Lelouch and Aria sliced through the air at an incredible speed, before clashing.*Clang! *“What!” Lelouch can not believe his eyes. A human hand blocked his sword covered in aura. As a third-class aura user. He could cut through a Mythril armor with ease. But to his surprise, a human body could defend against his strike.This is impossible. He thought in his mind while he gazed at Aria’s hands.While staring, he noticed something. There was a layer of blood protecting her hands. It was a similar technique to aura coating. A technique aura users use to strengthen their weapons. “So… that’s what’s going on,” he said with his gaze locked on Aria.Lelouch frowned, and placed his left foot in front, planting it firmly onto the ground as he held his sword above his head with his right hand and sliced down the middle with full force.“Your attacks can’t hurt me,” Aria said with confidence as she concentrated her blood on her right-hand palm to block th
“Hmph… Disgusting pervert. I have never seen a woman have such thoughts toward other women.” Ella spoke while staring at Helena with disgust.Ella’s words shocked Helena. “What! Did you just say you could read my thoughts?” Once’s thought is like a safe, it’s where you hide the things important to you. For some, they hide their money, some hide jewelry, and some people hide their intense love for big boobs. So, someone having access to your safe without your permission is dangerous.“Of course, I can read them when they leak out every time through mind communication. Even though you can talk now, you still use the system’s mind communication function to talk to me when you could just talk normally.” Ella complained.While fondling Nora’s boobs, Helena replied, “How can I talk to you normally when no one else can see you? If anyone saw me talking to the air, I might get burnt on the stake for being a witch. Do you want to see me burn?” Helena asked.Ella cocked her head to the right. “
“Your highness, what dress would you be wearing?” Nora asked as she opened the wardrobe. The wardrobe had different types of dresses in a variety of colors. They were dresses made by Jolene Avilon, the best designer in the Empire. each of her works is sought after by all the noble ladies in the capital. Any noble lady that wears an Avilon product is respected in high society. But not anyone can wear them because a dress in avilon cost one million Veru (Gold). Which is higher than the amount of money some nobles earn from their territory in a year. Only someone from the royal, Dukes', and marquess families could afford them. Nora could not help but stare at the dresses. Helena looks at the dresses while she was in the bathtub. “Hmmm… pick the white plain one.” She said. Helena’s words snapped Nora out of her greedy thoughts. “Ah… yes, the white one. Hmmm…, your Highness, this dress does not have any jewelry on it. Are you sure you want to wear this?” Nora asked with a concerned tone
Valkyrie Garden“Huff… Huff… Huff. I think am… going to die if I keep running…Huff. System. how much time do I have left?” Helena asked while running in the garden. She was exhausted and sweating, and her beautiful white dress was no longer white, it had brown and green stains on it. Helena thought the mission she got from the system was a newbie mission and it would be easy to complete, but she underestimated the mission.*Ding! *System Notification!XThe host has three more minutes until the mission is complete.“Huff… I can do this!!” Helena yelled. This was her second attempt at completing the mission. Who would have thought that the mission had a hidden condition. and it was a ridiculous one at that.------Thirty minutes ago, ------“Your highness I don’t think, it’s a good idea to run in the garden. Wha… what if you fall while you running and hurt yourself? I wouldn’t know what to say to the Head maid if you got hurt.” Nora complained. Nora was afraid that if the princess got
Valkyrie garden“Woah… an angel.” Helena was surprised at how beautiful the child in front of her was. She had long, flowing silver hair, red eyes, and naturally beautiful long eyelashes. The girl lay on the ground with the back of her left hand touching her forehead. “Pffft…” Helena smiled while staring at her because she reminded her of the princess in movies she had watched in her previous life.While the girls’ beauty fascinated Helena, the redhead maid walks up to Helena with an angry face. She raised her left hand and swung it to slap Helena but was interrupted by Nora, who jumped in front of Helena and block the maid’s hand.“Get out of the way, Nora.” She said.Nora ignored her and looked at Helena. “Your highness, are you alright?” She asked in a worried tone.Nora's actions surprised Helena. Even after I said all those mean things to you, you still tried to protect me. I Am so sorry, Nora. Helena thought in her mind while she stared at Nora, who was concerned about her. Thou
-----------------------------------------------------------------RAINBRIDGE ESTATE- CENTER OF THE BALLROOM.*SWISH**TAP*"I am still quite surprised you asked me for a dance, even though you have the option of picking many more beautiful noble-born ladies, who are dying to dance with you. My lord."Cyra said, locking eyes with Lord Phames. Their hands clasped, fingers intertwined as they twirled and waltzed in the heart of the ballroom, surrounded by the elegance of the moment."You are mistaken…"Lord Phames said, pausing momentarily as he skillfully guided the dance. With a graceful movement, he gently pushed Lady Cyra away.*WHOOSH*"What is he doing?!..."Cyra thought in her mind with a surprised expression after she was pushed. She realized her balance was thrown off by the sudden push and she was going to fall. Strangely, she wasn't scared, as she could still feel Phames's touch, through her gloves.Just As Cyra's fingers were about to slip from his palm, Lord Phames, with imp
—-------------------------------------------------------------------MISTY PEAK ROYAL PALACE - THRONE HALL"It's been ten days since I neutralized the empire's most powerful weapons from play. I expected the capital to descend into chaos and panic without the Emperor at its head. However, after locking down the capital, they are handling the situation better than I imagined. But I wonder how they will react to the present I have, prepared for them." Helena thought as she leaned back on the throne with a plotting smile.*BAM**CREAK*"…?"Hearing the loud sound of the Throne Hall's heavy stone doors opening, Helena turned her gaze to the hall entrance, to see Grace walking in."Grace?... It seems all her injuries have healed." Helena thought with a slight smile as she watched Grace walk towards her.*****************************************A FEW MOMENTS LATER.After a while, Grace arrived at the end of the throne steps and fell to her knees immediately, bowing her head.*THUD**WHOO
CH 76--------------------------------------------------------IN THE BALLROOM, SOMEWHERE AMONG THE GUESTS."Oh my, did you see that? Lord Phames actually kissed her on the hand!"Lady Fiora of House Merewind exclaimed in astonishment, while surrounded by a group of other noble ladies."How could that commoner's daughter simply stand there while he did that? She ought to be on her knees, showing gratitude for such an opportunity." Lady Justina of House Quickfire remarked, her tone dripping with disdain and disgust."It appears this commoner's daughter, needs to be taught her place." Lady Annelore of House Merewind added, glaring at Cyra with a malicious expression."I heard from my mother that when a nobleman gets close to a commoner woman, he becomes bewitched. They supposedly sprinkle love potions on their clothing, so that when the nobleman inhales it, he falls in love with them."Lady Thessaly of House Starfrost said."I heard the same from my elder sister. She said her husband
INNER CAPITAL WESTERN WING – RAINBRIDGE ESTATE*CLIP-CLOP**CREAKING* (sound of carriage)The loud sounds of horses’ hooves, striking a cobblestone path and carriage creaking wheels, resounded in the air as multiple horse-driven carriages, drove towards a grand building in the distance. And in one of those carriages, two sisters are in an anxious state, as it is their first time attending a high society party.“… it's been almost thirty minutes since we entered the Estate, and we still haven’t arrived at the ballroom yet…”Lily said in an anxious tone as she opens the blinds and gazed out the carriage window. What she saw left her in awe—an expansive landscape adorned with grand buildings and structures.“Wow... This is a duke's estate... it's so huge! It must be larger than two districts in the outer capital... I wonder just how much larger their estate in the Western territory is. if the one in the capital is already this massive!”Lily said with an excited tone and expression as sh
INNER CAPITAL CITY - SOMWHERE.“Be careful of your own shadow; for it might hide more than you realize.”Emperor Maximus said, as he emerged from behind Helena, stepping out of her shadow. His sword's blade, deeply embedded in her back, piercing through her chest.*THUD*“COUGH!!... How did you”Helena exclaimed, after coughing out blood. As she turned to Emperor Maximus, her face twisted in shock and agony.“Did you truly believe I could be defeated with such a meager display of power? That was nothing more than a mere shadow double.”Emperor Maximus said with a condescending tone and expression.“Even with an energy more powerful than mana and Aura, this is all your strength amounts to. What a waste… Don’t worry; I will be using your power to its full potential, after extracting it from your corpse… Any last words before you die?”Emperor Maximus asked.“Cough…Ha…haha… Did you think you’ve won!? HA-HAHAHAHA!”Helena exclaimed, erupting into maniacal laughter before her body dissolve
OUTSIDE CHAMBERLAIN EADULF’S DOMAIN. *CRACK*"Huh?!... It appears the battle's outcome is clear. Your Majesty, who do you think emerged victorious?"Master Zurrick asked Emperor Maximus after noticing Chamberlian Eadulf’s Domain began to dissipate.“From the pressure he released it would be difficult for Eadulf to win, but since he got into Eadulf’s Aura domain… well, we’ll just wait and see.”Emperor Maximus replied.****************************************************************A MINUTE LATER.Once Chamberlain Eadulf's Aura Domain had fully dissipated, Emperor Maximus and Master Zurrick were met with a startling sight. The hooded figure, previously ensnared by Eadulf's Domain, now stood unharmed, casually dragging an object with a single hand as they strolled forward.*SCRAPE! * [Sound effect of dragging an object]“I must say… he had a strong determination and will. But what use are those if you are weak!”Helena said as she tossed the object she'd been dragging, like trash, rig
SILVERWOOD MANOR’S COMPOUND.*SHOOSH**SHOOSH**SLASH*The air whirled into a frenzy, stirred by the astonishing speed at which Helena and Chamberlin Eadulf moved. Their forms could only be glimpsed as blurs, locked in a fierce exchange that painted a trail of destruction across the Manor's Estate.*SWOOSH**CLANG**BANG**WHOOSH*"How does his speed continue to outpace mine, even as I pushed my speed to the limit? Among the ‘Ten Aura Masters’ on the continent, I hold the title of the 'Lightning Sword' due to the unique characteristics of my abilities. Yet, here I am unable to match the speed of this unknown Hooded Figure. How frustrating… But, it’s not solely my speed that has earned me the Title of Lightning Sword!”Chamberlin Eadulf thought in his mind as he abruptly ceased his movements, coming to a complete standstill.*WHOOSH**HALT*“Huh!? Why did you stop? Are you gassed out already...?”Helena asked, her tone carrying a tinge of surprise. as she slowed down before coming to a
OUTSIDE, THE IMPERIAL PALACE’S GATES.As the post-celebration of the prince’s naming persisted within the grand halls of the imperial palace, a scene unfolded outside its monumental gates. Assembled was a segment of the imperial army, specifically the Silver Dragon Knight squad. Comprising of five hundred knights, each meticulously chosen by the emperor himself, the squad boasted a spectrum of prowess ranging from a fourth-class Grandmaster as the least powerful, to an eighth-class Grandmaster as the most formidable. The knights stood in disciplined formation outside the palace gate, organized into five distinct lines, with each group encompassing a hundred knights.*CREAK*A loud creaking sound of metal filled the air as the palace gates opens, revealing Emperor Maximus. He walks out with the air of a conqueror exuding from his body. With each stride he took, the surrounding air became heavy, affected by his Aura. Causing the knights guarding the palace gates, to fall to their knees
“AAAAAHHH!!”Tristen and Percival yelled in pain, covering their eyes as the intense light temporarily blinded them. The sudden and overwhelming brightness disoriented them, leaving them vulnerable and unable to see their surroundings.*WHOOSH*“Did you not know that in a fight, you should not take your eyes off your opponent? Kekekeke.”Cobra said in a mocking tone as he appears behind Tristan and Percival.“!!!”Tristan and Percival’s hearts pounded in fear as they heard the unknown voice behind them. Panic took over, and they instinctively turned around, blindly swinging their swords toward the source of the sound, hoping to hit their unseen assailant. Their actions were fueled by a mix of adrenaline and fear, but the lack of visibility made their attacks wild and unguided.*SWISH**SLASH**SLASH*“Whoops… Kekeke, how do you expect to hit your target if you don’t look at it?”Cobra jeered, his mocking laughter resonating through the hall. As he displays remarkable ease and agility,
