CHAPTER 31

"That's the legacy of the Elf Race. I don't need that kind of thing. It makes me like a robber," said Gabby, rejecting Tiffany's Artifact. "What about your Kingdom? Aren't you the Queen?" continued Gabby.

Tiffany looks sad when Gabby mentions her Kingdom. "Miss…" Baba approached, whispering something to Gabby.

Gabby, who heard Baba's whisper nodded her head.

"Sorry, I did not mean to," Gabby said regretfully for asking about the Elf Kingdom. Baba said that the Elves' Kingdom had collapsed because of Humans and Dwarves. Only a few Elves who survived escaped into the forest, and some also fled to the Khaaslonia Continent.

"Do you have a place?" Gabby asked Tiffany, who looked pitiful for a countryman of the High-Elf Race.

Tiffany shook her head. "No, I'm just on the run. Maybe if I can meet the Dragon Emperor, I can make a contract to regroup the Elf Race," said Tiffany.

"Why the Dragon Emperor?" Gabby asked curiously.

"Since the Dragon Emperor is the Ancestor of the Dragonoid Race, the Dragonoid Race is going through the same thing as the Elf Race, and maybe he can help me," Tiffany said, still unaware that Gabby was making an offer.

Gabby nodded, understanding what Tiffany meant. Besides, Gabby opened a small portal, and Gabby put her hand in to take something. Gabby Takes a Dagger that is shorter than Tiffany's.

Tiffany's eyes widened when she saw the dagger in Gabby's hand. "That… that," said Tiffany stammered.

Gabby threw the Dagger at Tiffany. "That's the pair of your Light Dagger. If you are willing to perform a Life and death contract on me, I will give it to you and help you restore your Kingdom," said Gabby long calmly.

Tiffany, still staring at the Dagger in her hand, was speechless. "How did it get to you?" asked Tiffany, shaking.

"It was my grandmother's gift. My grandmother's friend gave it." Gabby answered, making Tiffany mute.

"Should I be your servant?" Tiffany asked, considering the contract Gabby offered.

"Baba, did I ask you to be my servant?" Gabby said turning to Baba.

Tiffany turned to Baba. "No, Your Majesty, I asked you to make me your servant. To be your servant is a blessing to me." Baba said firmly, bowing respectfully to Gabby.

Tifanny, who heard Baba's expression, gasped. How could Bahamuth become a servant of a human? From any point of view, it was clear that Bahamut was the highest race in the room. Even the High-Elf and Dragon Emperor races were nothing compared to Bahamut, one level above Angel.

Tiffany turned to Gabby, looking into her eyes. "Very well, I will make a contract with you, Your Majesty," said Tiffany had no choice but to see that a human sitting could subdue Bahamut.

Gabby smiled at Tiffany. "Okay," Gabby said, opening her fingers and scraping her index finger, so it was dripping blue blood. "Come here," Gabby said, calling for Tiffany.

Tiffany stepped closer to Gabby, and Tiffany saw blue blood jelly that came out of Gabby's finger scratches. 'Blue? Maybe she's a human race, isn't she the Demi-god Race who has blue blood?' Tiffany thought to herself, thinking about what race the girl in front of her was.

Gabby put her finger that was bleeding blue blood to Tiffany's forehead. When Gabby pulled her finger back, the rest of the blood stuck to Tiffany's forehead seeped into her skin.

After executing the Contract, the Dagger that Tiffany was holding gave off a bright light. "It's yours. Put it together," said Gabby.

Tiffany took out her dagger, which was longer than Gabby's. The two daggers shone together and emitted an ancient inscription. The ancient script spread to Tiffany's palm.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," said Tiffany turning to Gabby after receiving a pair of Daggers that fused her body into an Ancient Light Dagger.

"Okay, now our business is done," said Gabie casually. "So what punishment should I give you?" Gabby said, turning to Emilio and making his shudder.

---Imperial Palace

"Is she in the pavilion?" said a beautiful young woman who was none other than Empress Lili.

"That's right, Empress, I provide some escorts so as not to be constrained during her journey," said Robe, lowering his head.

"I heard that your protégé wants to make her a slave," said Empress Lili coldly.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I will care for that ignorant brat." Robe said, asking that he would not participate in the punishment.

"Up to you, don't let me see it again, Go!" Empress Lili chased away Robe.

"Servant excuse, Your Majesty."

Empress Lili sat sipping tea. She was thinking hard about the offer a gentleman made a while ago.

The man said that if the Empress wanted to avenge him, the Lord of the Man could grant it If she wished.

The Man's offer put the Empress in a dilemma, but it was not trivial considering what the Lord had already obtained from the Man. Subduing a Kingdom with just a few troops and the Elements of Light possessed made him defeat a Kingdom that was considered very strong.

"Did you invite her?" asked a man entering Empress Lili's room.

"Is there a problem? Isn't it a good thing if we can have diplomatic relations with him." replied the Empress taking a sip of tea.

That man, none other than Emperor Blaise, narrowed his eyes at Empress Lili. "Why didn't you tell me? Are you doing it for your own sake?" The Emperor began to grow furious at Empress Lili's carefree attitude.

"Mind your business, don't interfere with mine!" The Empress raised her voice.

"Can you not be selfish?" asked the Emperor clenching his jaw.

Empress Lili stomped on the tea table, causing the tea to spill. "Can I not be selfish? Can only you be selfish?" Empress Lili couldn't contain her anger.

"You changed. Where is my formerly Gentle Empress? Where is my virtuous and courteous Empress?" asked the Emperor quietly, looking at Empress Lili, who had changed her character.

"You ask me where your Gentle Empress is? The answer is Dead! You ask, where is your virtuous and polite Empress? The answer is dead!" said the Empress excitedly.

The maids who saw the Empress's tantrum only looked down in fear, not daring to raise their heads. Their Empress had been very different since coming out of her coma a few months ago.

"Go away. I've hated you all my life. You're the craziest man I've ever known," said Empress Lili furiously. "You know, I'm not your Empress that you easily suppress with your favorite Concubine." said the Empress rising from her seat.

With her back to Emperor Blaise, Empress Lili stared out the window, not feeling the tears slowly pouring out. 'Dear God, please meet my sister and me,' thought the Empress, sadly remembering how miserable her sister, Chikako Hana.

Princess Hana is the second Princess of the Onyx Kingdom. After her father, King Eryk, sold Lili to the Empire to make her an Empress because of Diplomacy, Empress Lili still tolerated it even though she was mistreated in the Imperial Palace. A few months later, she married Emperor Blaise. The Emperor appointed three concubines, one of which was Princess Hana, Empress Lili's sister, at the suggestion of her older brother, who would inherit the Onyx Kingdom.

Princess Hana, a Beast Tamer who already has a lover, is against her brother's plans. Moreover, her lover is the Beastman Race of the White Wolf tribe, making things worse.

Princess Hana became Emperor Blaise's concubine even though Princess Hana was pregnant with Beastman's child. When Emperor Blaise found out that Princess Hana was pregnant with Beastman, Emperor Blaise was furious and wanted to go to war with the Onyx Kingdom, but I don't know what Big Brother incited. His son so that Emperor Blaise gave up the Onyx Kingdom and punished Princess Hana to the end. Princess Hana's lover, beheaded in the Imperial Capital square, made Princess Hana seem to lose her mind. Even Princess Hana did not escape Emperor Blaise's torment while pregnant.

Finally, Empress Lili, who woke up from a coma due to poison, found out about her sister, who was being tortured to death. Empress Lili released Princess Hana secretly without anyone knowing. But made her lose her sister. Somewhere.
