43 Rescue
“Master, is something the matter?” Agnes asked, her voice tinged with curiosity as she observed Krai’s grim, furrowed expression.“...How many slaves are there in this kingdom?” Krai asked, sidestepping her question.“Eh? If I recall correctly, there are about a thousand—and that’s including those of elven descent.”“A thousand, you say...” A thin smirk played on Krai’s lips, the kind that suggested a scheme was already beginning to take shape.“Master?”“Agnes. Rescue every single one of them and bring them back to the Stromveil Kingdom.”“...Are you certain, Master?” Agnes hesitated, glancing at Krai with a look of uncertainty.“Is there a problem?” Krai asked, meeting her gaze.Agnes nodded slowly.“And what would that be?”Agnes took a deep breath, carefully explaining that some of these slaves weren't just victims of circumstance—many possessed dark, criminal backgrounds.“It doesn’t matter,” Krai countered dismissively. “Everyone makes mistakes. As long as they are willing to ch
42 Divine Light Kingdom
In the Divine Light Kingdom, Krai and Rirui moved through the heart of the city, their eyes scanning the surroundings with sharp vigilance. Both were draped in heavy traveling cloaks, their hoods pulled low to mask their features. Beneath those shadows, no one could guess that a warrior of the elves—a woman of peerless beauty—was walking right among them.Every time they passed the grim displays of humans practicing slavery against the demi-human races, Rirui bit her lower lip so hard it bled."If only their powers weren't sealed," Rirui hissed, her voice dripping with pure vitriol. "The humans who enslave them would already be dead."Suddenly remembering she was in Krai’s presence, she quickly clamped her mouth shut. She looked away, fearful that her outburst might have provoked him."You’re right," Krai said quietly. "It is a hideous sight. They claim to uphold equality through their faith, yet they have long since abandoned their consciences."Rirui fell silent, surprised by his wo
41 Rirui's Changes
"I see. I think I have the gist of it," Shizuku murmured, her eyes tracing Rirui’s every movement with a look of intense curiosity.'How did I even end up in this situation? And who is this stunning woman? Her presence... it’s every bit as overwhelming as Lady Agnes.'"Ahem! This is Shizuku. She’s my personal maid." As if reading the frantic thoughts swirling in Rirui’s head, Krai offered a casual introduction.Rirui froze for a moment, her gaze lingering on Shizuku in a mix of awe and bewilderment.A faint, thin smile played on Shizuku’s lips, yet she was draped in an aura that was both mysterious and impeccably elegant."It is a pleasure to meet you, Rirui.""Likewise... Lady Shizuku."Shizuku’s smile widened with satisfaction. Almost instantly, she picked up on the peculiar thread of connection stretching between Rirui and Krai.'Does this elf have feelings for Master? It seems we’ve found a fitting representative for the elven race here.'Shizuku’s expression shifted into a mischi

Rirui returned to face her father, alone."Where are Lord Krai and Lady Agnes?" Huda asked, looking up as his daughter approached."They... they cannot be disturbed right now.""Ah, I see. Then let them be. We must be careful not to incur their anger."Rirui nodded softly, her gaze slightly averted."Father, I’m going to take a bath now. I’ll see you later.""Why so suddenly? You usually bathe in the evening," Huda remarked, staring at Rirui with a look of pure bewilderment.Rirui hurried away without offering an answer. Had anyone been observant enough, they would have noticed the deep, burning crimson staining her cheeks. Unfortunately, Huda saw none of it, leaving him unable to even guess what had just transpired with his daughter.Huda stood up and paced a few meters before pausing. He stared down at a peculiar dampness on the floor, his brow furrowing in hesitation."What is this liquid? I don't recall anyone spilling a drink..."He hesitated for a moment, then absentmindedly wip
39 Rirui's Changes
"Rirui, as the strongest warrior of Haku Village... you understand just how utterly powerless we are against them, don't you?"Rirui stood frozen. Her gaze flickered nervously, stealing a glance toward Krai and Agnes before she looked away."I know, Father," she whispered, her voice barely audible.Huda took a long, heavy breath."If they truly wished for it, they could wipe our village off the map in the blink of an eye. So tell me... why would they go through the trouble of negotiating with us?""That is...""The Master has no taste for coercion. That is the only reason we've chosen the path of dialogue," Agnes interjected, her tone cold and indifferent."He... dislikes forcing others?"Rirui looked up at Krai. In response, Krai offered her a bright, gentle smile—the kind of smile that seemed to radiate pure warmth.Fushuuu—!Rirui’s face turned a violent shade of crimson. She looked down instantly, her heart hammering against her ribs as she succumbed to an overwhelming wave of shy
38 Haku Village
"How dare you fire your arrows at my Master! Such insolence is unforgivable." Agnes’s voice was frigid—flat, detached, and utterly devoid of mercy.Magic surged from Agnes in a violent tide, warping the space around her until it fractured like a jagged spiderweb. The once-fierce elves instantly lost their color. Their bravado evaporated as they collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.Four out of the five elves had lost control of their bladders right then and there. The only one spared that humiliation was the female elf standing in the center, though she fared little better."Agnes? Compose yourself.""But Master, they dared to attack you!"Krai offered a relaxed smile, lightly patting Agnes on the shoulder. "Their little stunt didn't even singe a single hair on my head. There’s no need to be so worked up.""...Very well."Agnes withdrew her overwhelming aura, casting a terrifyingly sweet smile at the five elves huddled on the ground."We wish to speak with yo
