Chapter 32

"Mommy, what's happening?" A little elf girl asked as she hugged her mother as she was feeling scared.

"Nothing dear. It's alright." Her mother said as she hugged her daughter.

Truthfully she didn't know exactly know what happened. She only saw that some kind of dark being was coming towards their village so she fled to her home with her daughter, an action that was most likely undertaken by the rest of the mothers and females of the village.

She heard the sound of their men as she tried to make sure that her daughter didn't hear any distressing noise. But then it became quiet as she wondered if the men had managed to defeat the being. But then she felt dread as she couldn't hear anything from the men as she held her daughter close.

Then she screamed when the doors to her house broke and tendrils of dark energy shot towards them. She created a barrier using magic but the tendrils attacked it and broke it before grabbing the two of them.

"Mommy!" Her daughter cried out in fear.

"Hold on to me." The elf shouted as she hugged her daughter.

She was pulled out of her house as she saw the other elves also being pulled out as they cried out in fear. She looked ahead and saw that all of their men were on the air as they were looking at them alarmed.

"Glad of you all to join us." Selena said with a smile as she looked at the group she got and smiled.

She and the other women recognised that voice as they looked towards their attacker and their eyes widened when they saw that the one who is attacking them is none other than a darker version of Selena.

"S-Selena?" One of the elf women called out in shock.

"Oh I'm so glad. You all remember me. Even though you decided to sacrifice me." Selena said in a cherry tone before she glared at them.

The elves flinched at her words and her glare as they tried to think of a way to mitigate the damage. But Selena didn't give them time as the tendrils that were grabbing them started to sqeezed them as they grunted out in pain.

"Don't think that you can talk me out of this. You decided to sacrifice me instead of just leaving the village. I'm not going to just ignore that." Selena said to them angrily.

"Please Selena, you can't do this!" One of the male elves pleaded to her.

She looked at him with her glare as it caused him to pause. The the tendril that had grabbed him tightened and sqeezed him as he cried out in pain.

"All of you men should just shut up." Selena said as she glared at the men.

Then she attacked them with her energy as it hit them causing them to scream in pain before they all lost consciousness from it. Selena smiled at them before she looked at the woman as they were looking at her scared, since her behaviour right now is a far cry from her usual one.

Selena threw the male elves to the ground and tried them using her energy before she gathered the second group and floated to them and looked at them with a smirk.

"Now then, how should I prepare all of you for master?" Selena mused as she looked at them.

"Huh?" The gathered elves let out confused noises when they heard her.

The female elves got a bad feeling about it as they remembered that they had decided to sacrifice her to the demon.

'Did she become the demons servant?' The female adult elves thought to themselves as they looked at her in fear.

While they were thinking that Selena looked at the group of female elves as she smiled at them.

While this was going on Altria had also reached her kingdom and she was welcomed by the citizens. She quickly made a bee line towards the castle as she reached there and saw her mother and sister standing at the entrance. She smiled at seeing them as she dismounted from her horse and walked to them.

"Mother, Arya." Altria said as she walked towards them.

Her mother and sister smiled as they saw her walking towards them. They went and hugged her as she also hugged them back as she felt releif, though she felt her mother hug her tighter as well.

After they hugged each other for a minute she broke the hug and looked at them with a smile on her face.

"Why don't we talk in my room mother?" Altria said as she looked at her.

"Of course my dear daughter." Amara said with a smile on her face.

Then the three of them entered the castle as they were greeted by their servants. As she was walking she took note of how the servants were trying to not look at her own eyes, something which caused her to narrow her eyes.

She looked at her mother and she saw that she has a nervous face but she smiled at her when she saw that her daughter is looking at her. Altria narrowed her eyes as she saw her reaction but didn't voice it out, instead wanting to get to her room first before doing anything else.

They soon reached her room and they entered it and found that it hasn't changed much as she smiled a bit.

"I will go and change from my armor. Why don't you ask the servants to bring some food?" Altria said to her sister and mother.

"If you want to eat then we can eat at the table." Amara said to her with a smile.

"No." Altria immediately shot the idea down with a flat look.

'I don't want to see his face so soon.' Altria thought to herself as she sighed.

"Alright, if you say so." Amara said with a smile.

"Thank you." Altria said before she went to her changing room.

She used some magic to clean herself, as it was one of the basic magic she deemed useful for her as she didn't have much interest in magic. After that she put on new clothes and walked out and saw her mother and sister sitting at her table with a tray of snacks as they smiled at her.

Amara is a very beautiful woman and can be said to be a mature version of Altria herself. She has her golden hair tied in a bun behind her head, large bountiful breasts, and hourglass figure and a big ass, thick thighs and a beautiful face. She is wearing a beautiful blue dress as well and exudes an aura of nobility. Wisdom and understanding can be seen from her eyes as she looked at her and it can be seen how mature she is.

Arya can be said to like the younger version of herself. She isn't as mature as she is and is much more innocent. And unlike her she didn't have much skill as a warrior. She has a beautiful face, her hair tied in a short ponytail, small breasts and butt and a growing body. She is currently wearing a beautiful white dress, the colour white being something that she likes.

Her father had neglected her so she has struck to her mother's side. And due to her influence she doesn't hold much of a grudge and is always with a smile on her face.

She smiled at the two of them as she remembered her mission as she walked to them. She also remembered the plans that her father has and she won't let him get his way, not with her sister and mother.

She then sat at the chair beside them and they talked with each other and her mother asked her if she was fine and all while her sister asked if it was difficult or if it was easy. She knew that her sister idolizes her and their mother. After talking for a few minutes she decided that it was the time for some questions.

"Mother, do you have any problems?" Altria asked as she looked at her mother.

Amara froze for a second when she heard the question but she composed herself quickly, but her older daughter had already noticed it as she looked at her seriously while Arya looked at them confused.

"What kind of problem are you talking about sister?" Arya asked her confused.

"Just a moment Arya. Mother, I noticed your troubled expression. Please, if you have any problems, then tell me." Altria said to her seriously.

Amara looked at her daughter as she sighed to herself as she knew how stubborn she is and that she won't stop until she got her answer.

'Can't say I didn't expect this. I also took part in training her so it's not a surprise she noticed.' Amara thought to herself as she looked at her daughter.

"Yes. I know that you had just come back from the expedition but... Your father has gotten a mistress in your absence and Arya is going to be married to that young prince Adrian." Amara said to her as she looked down.

She was not that happy with the fact that her husband had taken a mistress so suddenly. She knew that their married life wasn't much but she didn't think he would be like that.

She also knew that her daughter Altria liked the prince, but now he is going to be married to her younger sister instead. She hoped that it wouldn't cause her to see her sister in a negative light considering her own feelings.

Combined with the fact that she has been dealing with the extermination of the vampire lord, she has a lot of deal with and she hoped that her daughter wouldn't lose control of herself.

'Things are going too fast.' Amara thought to herself as she sighed.
