"Are you really going to execute what you scribed on this!?"
"...What's wrong with that?" While slightly frowning, Alvine asks innocently.
Curious to know what both were talking about, Askald approached Assi before taking a look at the leaf she was holding in her hand.
He raises his eyebrows slightly. But since he was unsure of what he had just read, he took out his monocle from his jacket's pocket before placing it on his left eye.
"Let me see this more closely." He said while stretching his white gloves with intrepid eyes.
Alvine had a little ironic smile when he saw the Askald actions, who had no problem with his eyes.
But despite this fact, he did not interrupt his actions.
As for Askald, he reread the document over and over...and again.
"My lord...were you sleepy when you wrote this document?" He asks without worrying about politeness.
"Haha, what's your problem with this document?" Naturally, Alvine knew the document in question.
Askald straightens his monocle, a habit he made unconsciously when he was overwhelmed by events or to hide his nervousness.
"Do you want to prevent others, who came to the territory of the fairy (Reha), from attending the war? But why? I mean, why such an unconscious decision? It's no different to reduce your strengths by three percent."
Alvine nods his head. "Whether they represent three percent of my military power, it means that they became strong during this period of time."
"Yes! And not just a little!" Askald instantly confirms. "90% of those who were simple divine mages were able to reach intermediate primordial ranks, the others are currently semi-transcendental mages. How can you ignore such troops? You will create painful tasks for me if I have to review my entire strategy." He mutters his last sentence with dark eyes.
But when he saw Alvine's smile, his heart bleeding in his chest. "Are the former primordials who are all transcendents also part of this...thing you call a life prevention plan or something like that?" Not that he has a vision problem, it's just that he didn't like what he read in black on the white sheet.
"They have a choice, but I don't accept anyone to participate in this war until he or she is at the transcendental rank of intermediate level or higher. The others...are only ordinary citizens." Alvine's words gave Askald and Assi another headache.
"Wait! What do you mean by that, that I don't have the right to attend this war!?" Assiaphir asks for a deep voice.
"..." Alvine gives her a contemplative look in his silence. "Nope, you are more gifted with a feather than with a sword."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"In this case, I am dismissing...-
"I was only expressing the bottom of my thoughts. You are just a semi-transcendent mage; what do you plan to accomplish in such a war if only to orchestrate your suicide?"
Alvine's words made Assi more angry than she already was. "If I'm weak, it's not out of laziness, but for lack of time." She growls this sentence like a wild beast about to show her fangs.
This explanation suits her perfectly since her two fangs were perceptible behind her lips.
"I spend almost 80 to 90% of my time surrounded by these black walls. The smell of paper is the only thing I breathe day and night. While the others train, I'm here to distribute the resources and weapons among them; and this, without having anything in return. Do you think I'm here for pleasure? No! In addition.......
**My lord, forget my former compliments; you are more cruel than before.** Askald had squinted eyes as he listened to Assi's complaints who looked like a rebel employee who wanted to create her own strike.
**Get out of my mind, Askald. It was my clone who gave her this job, not me.** Alvine responds briefly to Askald's remarks while feeling sad for Assi.
'He bamboozled me well, this bastard; he assured me that it was Assiaphir herself who had volunteered for this position; but I would never have believed that he could be so bold by lying to me." (He talks about his clone.)
'Luckily, I kept the consciousness of this type active.' While mumbling these words, his shadow flickered under his feet, followed by the emergence of the famous clone, who was dressed in a more luxurious coat than what Alvine himself wore.
"Sigh, and I, who was about to go to the planet of...-!" He stops halfway through his sentence when he realizes he is in Alvine's office.
When Assi saw Alvine's clone, she instantly understood the broken pot. "So it was you!?" She roars in a wild voice.
The clone instinctively steps back when he sees Assi's eyes turn red blood. "Ugh! Start by calming you down first, I don't have...-
"Ah, it's true, I was surprised by the promises you made to me at the beginning, but everything can be explained now. You got me well by winding me up with your beautiful pranks."
"Huh?" Alvine frowns when he hears Assi's words and his clone's nervousness.
'This guy is...' Askald frowns when he sees Alvine's clone that Fy and he, had threatened to help them repair the damage provoked by Alvin and him in the basement.
For his part, Alvine was more concerned with the promise his clone had made to Assi than anything else.
But he did not dare to ask, for fear of finding himself in a delicate situation when he had better things to do.
"Never mind." He said then that Assi was still expressing his rage.
Seeing the latter frown towards him, testifying that he had his attention, Alvine scrapes his throat before continuing.
"For now, forget this guy, he will take care of all the paperwork in the future."
Alvine's words created a tornado in the heart of his clone;
In any case, his dissatisfaction made his face darker than the anchor.
But before he rebelled, Alvine's eyes turned slightly black. "Maybe you want me to force you to work forever in this room?"
Knowing his own nightmares, and the fact that his clone shares his hobbies and other characteristics, Alvine knew how to find the right words to prevent him from going against his decision.
"Congratulations, dear original; you have all my hatred." He mutters under his tongue, even if it is not necessary since everyone can hear him.
Alvine's smile has become diabolical. "I have already recorded everything about you, so no matter your suicide or... Kuku, I would know how to revive you with your memories intact." By constantly stabbing where it hurt, Alvine's victory was indisputable.
But before going out, he takes another look at his clone. "You have just graduated as chief secretary. In the next two years, you will stay here and work day and night to properly handle the tasks." He finally opened the exit door and then left without saying anything more.
Seeing his hasty steps, Askald could not help shaking his head with irony. 'He just found this excuse to pass his duties to his clone. For all we know, he had already planned to use it this way from the beginning.
-But still, this clone has too much bad luck; it's a shame that such a powerful soldier is used in this way if only I could have him in my army...!' He immediately shakes his head when he realizes that he is starting to look like Alvine.
Assi only gives him a fierce look before going out, after Askald.
After leaving his office, Alvine went to his next destination, the first landing of his castle; more precisely in the old hall he used to purify the souls of his enemies, who perished under his blade.
Arriving in front of the door, Assi suddenly stops.
Aware of what awaited her behind the door, hesitation almost was right against her will.
'It was in this hall that he sealed me to seize my father's planet.' She mumbles while looking at the two ancient giants with their two huge swords, deeply sank in the slabs, who guarded the entrance
At the same time, Asklad's voice resounded behind him.
"My lord, if you don't need me at the moment, I would like to go manage some...-
"Go ahead." He answers briefly before entering the dark hall after the two heavy doors were opened in front of him by his two guards.
"Don't feel obliged to follow me if you are uncomfortable."
It was only after hearing him mumble this sentence that Assi knew that Alvine had noticed her hesitation.
'How did he do it? It's not like he has eyes behind his head, is it?' Aware that Alvine did not use his perception permanently, this mystery made her forget about the phobia she had developed for this hall.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No, I'm fine." She shakes her head slightly before getting ahead of Alvine by entering the first.
With a steal smile, Alvine followed him closely, after thanking the two giants with a simple nod.
Following their entries, Assi immediately noticed three facts:
The room was no longer as wide and threatening as last time.
Dozens of shadow soldiers, all... not humanoid shape; but more threatening than the two giant giants behind the door.
The third was that they were in a military formation by encircling other people she knew some little and others not at all.
As for the others, more precisely Elena, the latter stands out from the crowd by advancing towards Alvine.
-Any news? - Alvine asks.
"Not yet, Zakiel is still there; I think he will soon access their deepest memories." She said while looking at Zakiel, who was sitting on the cold slabs with his legs crossed in the middle of the other shadow soldiers.
The subordinates of Uranus and Alfred (Elena's father), were stood at Zakiel's side with empty eyes and lifeless while the latter scrutinized their consciences in the hope of solving the puzzles they were facing.
"Good, but he has to hurry a little." Alvine nods her head while saying these words.
"Lord Kayre, why do you leave this task to Zakiel? Not to mention you, my brother will also be more competent to...
"Askald is probably the busiest after Fy, who trains the others." He interrupts Elena.
"As for me, I have to take care of these two girls." In mumbles with a wild smile while looking at Cindy and her sister, who were five meters from the others.
Following his visual line, Elena frowns at the two women. "I wonder what such a fearful race is doing in this war."
"Try again, Elena, it's not because they're afraid of war, but because they don't like to shed blood." Alvine indirectly contradicts her before suddenly erasing the distance between him and the two girls using all his speed even exceeding teleportation.
But seeing their indifferences in the face of his sudden appearance in front of them, a sneaky smile blooms on his lips. "Finally, we will soon find out."
He then looks at the crystal inked in Rendy's chest with eyes shining with avarice.
But the latter did not react, which was pretty normal since she was supposed to be under his mental control.
"What are you doing? I hope it has nothing to do with your new inclinations for the lust?" Elena frowns when she sees Alvine devour Rendy's chest with his eyes.
"Tss~, it seems that Askald told you about my changes. It doesn't matter to me, I don't see how it would concern you; these two are enemies, so no matter what I do with them, it shouldn't bother you, I'm wrong?" Alvine sneers slyly while looping around both girls.
