Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System-Novel

Chapter 367: The Devilish Elf Princess' Plans

Alma POV 3/17

-----

I never thought that having an arranged marriage would bring me so many advantages. Having Elred at my side meant a lot of things! I discovered I could actually use him as a way to save my ass when things were to get real, and I could even use his influence as the son of the biggest aristocrat in Flowerbed to do many other things.

He was also outside the security of my Kingdom, and the guards never dared to oppose him unlike to me, as they were not given any order to do so, and provoking the boy might mean an offense to the entire nation… Haha!

This way, I could think about ways to abuse his presence and become capable of wandering around the castle way more easily, while also being able to go out! But for that, I really need him here and try it out.

It has been half a week since his first visit, and seemingly, today he was finally coming once more, alongside being able to stay overnight too, so it was going to be two days that he would remain here this time around, excellent! With this, I can use him even more.

Shameless? Perhaps, but now that I got my husband here, I might as well use him for what he's worth. It also made him feel useful that I asked him to do these things with me on the next visit he had here, and oddly enough, everyone in the castle was happy that I got along with my arranged husband. Rose was very happy and had begun asking me how many children I wanted, which made me feel rather disgusted. How can you ask this to a kid?!

In these last days, I haven't found any more artifacts for Dagger to absorb and gain powers from, however, I've gotten him a good amount of Mana Cores he keeps hidden inside of his Spatial Inventory, but for now, he's on "energy saving mode" and remain in a sleep-like state for the most part, although he very so often speaks to me. The other day, for example, he tried to kill Elred.

Ahem! Well, he's an insane dagger after all, what could you expect of it? It is disgusting to think about, but he seems to have grown obsessed with me and sees me as his daughter or something, so he feels offended when this other boy was acting all prince charming with me. He really just wanted to cut his throat off without even thinking about the consequences of his actions.

It's a good thing I stopped him and told him that I would never wield him if he were to dare put a hand on Elred… after that, he got incredibly depressed, as if the reason he was living was only for me, but I didn't apologize and emphasized that I would never wield him if he acted rashly or rudely against those that I cared for. Well, I don't really love Elred or anything like that, but he's an important piece of my life now, so he mustn't be damaged at all costs!

"When is that brat coming? He's making you wait way too much! Who does he think he is making my Alma wait so much!?" he roared.

"Shut up for once, stupid lolicon dagger! I don't have time to hear your stupid complaints every freaking second!" I roared.

"Kyaa~! Alma! P-Please, insult me more!" he cried.

What's wrong with this sicko?! Does he really get a hard-on by being treated like shit by a little girl? Wait, is this some kind of disgusting fetish?

I might have been a fat otaku bastard back in my previous life, but I was never that degenerate, I only liked big titty girls and Sylphy-chan, but I didn't find lolis or whatever attractive, and most fetishes disgusted me, so I kept myself away from hentai sites where sickos were… The only thing I wanted was Sylphy-chan, but in the end, instead of getting the waifu, I became the waifu…

I feel like this happened out of negative karma for all the shitty stuff I did back then. I do regret the shit I do, but it's way too late to even regret anything, I already died pretty pathetically.

Now I had to live my life as a future hot elf, but for now, I am way too submerged in problems to think deeply about the pathetic life I once had. This life is definitely better than my previous one in various aspects, but god, I wish I could have been a male at the very least.

The worst thing is that I am actually getting used to being a girl now, as horrendous as this prospect was to me in the past, now I am getting used to it! Ugh, I feel like my mind is just getting used to its physical body. You know, as they said, the body makes the mind too. If you act and look like a little girl, you'll eventually accept it and eventually… think like one?!

Ugh, well, it is better to remain all of this a secret, if someone were to ever discover my internal thoughts, they would probably have a heart attack knowing I think like an adult man… It is better to never meet someone with such capabilities.

Knock, knock.

And once more, here he is, the prince charming of the Flowerbed Nation of Merchants.

The door opened as Rose and a butler let inside the charming and handsome boy.

"G-Good morning, Alma…" he said shyly, as I noticed he was holding a bunch of colorful and aromatic flowers with one hand, and he held a little gift in the other hand.

Oh my, did he bring me gifts? I never asked him for anything like this…

"H-Hello Elred, how have you been?" I asked with a gentle smile.

"G-Good! I've been looking for the day I can meet you again… H-Here! T-This is a gift… and these flowers… t-they're as pretty as you!" he said embarrassedly.
