Mykel raised his eyebrows and looked at Aevia since he never thought the target would be the Queen herself. He then glanced at the door and he knew what Elestria looked like, and she was in her early thirties, quite young for a ruler but it was because her older sister dethroned and gave it to her. The older sister was dethroned because she was infertile, so she decided to give up the throne and let her sister beco the ruler.
"Is there a ti limit?" Mykel asked as he crossed his legs.
"None, but you can't use your power. You can't manipulate her, only using your words and actions," Aevia answered as she leaned forward toward Mykel. "It should be hard, but that's the point and it's more challenging for you," she added.
"Since this has nothing to do with your goal, it would be fair if I could get what I want in return," Mykel said as he put out the cigarette.
"Sure. What do you want?" Aevia asked as she tapped her fingers on her right cheek repeatedly.
"One wish. I want one wish that you should grant," Mykel answered. "Don't worry, I'm not going to ask you to free or let go," he assured with his arms crossed.
"We have a deal," Aevia nodded her head and offered a handshake.
They shook hands, and not long after that, Tristan and the woman ca back. They both asked Mykel to follow them to have an audience with Elestria in the throne room. Before they left, they had to do a thorough body check on him from his toe up to his hair.
They escorted Mykel to the far back of the palace and left the building. Elestria lived in a separate building, another palace that was surrounded by five different palaces. The building was in the middle and heavily guarded by Zero Tier gifted, and those people were stronger than Devlin and Aleric.
"Her Majesty is waiting inside," The woman said as she pointed at the door with a gold fra and an emblem of the kingdom.
The guards opened the door and that was when Mykel saw Elestria sitting on the throne with her older sister standing next to her. The older sister's na was Elysande, and she was only two years older than Elestria. Elysande had long purple hair in a black dress while Elestria had blue hair in a purple dress, both of them showing the curves of their bodies in those dresses.
"Do you like older won?" Aevia asked as she stood next to Mykel and stared at those two.
"I slept with Goddesses who were thousands of years old. I don't see a reason to hate won who are only a few years older than ," Mykel answered and stood still since he was waiting to be allowed to approach Elestria.
Aevia chuckled and didn't say anything.
"You may co forth," Elestria said with sharp eyes and her words showed how dignified she was.
Mykel walked into the room with Tristan following him from behind to make sure Mykel didn't do anything stupid. Mykel then went down to his knee and lowered his head to show respect to Elestria.
"You know why I summoned you here?" Elestria asked.
"Yes, Your Highness. But I don't want anyone to know about my power except you, your highness," Mykel answered.
"With all due respect, your majesty. I can't allow him to be alone with Your Majesty for protection purposes," Tristan said as he went on his knee and looked at Elestria.
"Leave," Elestria said without hesitation.
Tristan was shocked, but he nodded his head and then left the room with everyone else. It was just Elestria and Elysande in the room, but Mykel hadn't moved a muscle.
"You have quite a fla on you," Elestria pointed out as she looked down at Mykel. "I have never seen anything like this," she added.
Mykel knew what Elestria ant because it was her power, the ability to read people's aura. She could see if soone was evil, bad, good, selfless, selfish, or any other personality through the aura on them. He wondered what kind of aura she saw on him and what she ant by fla.
"Thank you, your highness," Mykel said.
"Who said that I was complinting you?" Elestria asked and she sounded a bit annoyed and disgusted.
"Your words alone are a blessing to . I'm only expressing my gratification, your highness," Mykel answered as he kept lowering his head.
"Lift your head," Elestria said.
Mykel lifted his head and imdiately stared into Elestria's eyes, his gaze was enough to distract both Elestria and Elysande. They almost lost to his gaze alone, and that was when Aevia put her hand on Mykel's back, taking his ability to read minds and manipulate living beings.
"Rember our deal. You will have to do it with only your words and actions, no power for you," Aevia whispered.
"Now, tell your power," Elestria said.
"I can grant any wish which ans I can control anything with my will," Mykel answered as he kept staring into Elestria's eyes.
"Proof it," Elestria said and her expression was as cold as ice. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"I can make Lady Elysande fertile," Mykel answered.
Elestria and Elysande were surprised because nobody knew about Elysande's condition. Everyone in that world only knew that Elysande had no desire to rule the kingdom and that she had enough of it. Hearing that Mykel knew about Elysande's condition and how he said that he could fix it made both of them think about how he knew about it.
"You're cheating," Aevia said as she looked at Mykel with a bit of annoyance.
"You gave a test and you expected to not know how to clear it?" Mykel asked. "You shouldn't make a deal with in the first place," he added.
"How did you know? Who told you about it?" Elestria asked as she stood up and crossed her arms. "Answer wrongly and your head will roll on the floor," she glared at Mykel and she was furious.
"You have quite a fla on you too, your highness," Mykel answered as he stood up. "My power can see people's aura as well, more than what your highness is capable of," he added.
Elestria didn't want to believe it, but since she had never seen an aura like what Mykel had, she wondered what it was. She was thinking really hard if the aura on him had sothing to do with his power. If she was right about it, that ant he wasn't lying about it and he might be telling the truth.
"Then proof it that you can fix her problem," Elestria said.
"I said that I can control everything with my will, and that ans I should be the one to do it," Mykel answered with a serious expression. "I wouldn't dare to lay a finger on Lady Elysande. My status is nothing compared to her," he explained.
"Do you understand what you have said is unforgivable and death is the only thing that can pardon your insolence?" Elestria asked.
"I know, your highness," Mykel answered. "But that's not the only thing that I can grant. I can grant your wish to win the war, Your Highness. I'm talking about the war against the other countries and making Your Highness the only ruler of this world," he added.
Elestria was once again shocked by Mykel's words because that was what she wanted the mont she ascended to the throne. Her plan to conquer the world disappeared when the demons appeared, but the mont Awakeners existed, she used a different thod.
The reason why she collected Zero Tier gifted and made them her own was to use them to war once the chaos disappeared. She had planned her attack thoroughly and she was confident that she could take over the world with her own army.
"I'm confident with my own n that they could do it for . I don't need your help," Elestria responded.
"With all due respect, your highness. What stops them from leaving your side once this is over? Fear? Wealth? Power?" Mykel asked as he slowly walked toward Elestria. "We both know not all of them are loyal to you, your highness. The mont those two countries can offer them more than you could, they would disappear the mont you blink your eyes," he explained and started climbing the stairs.
Elestria knew that and it had been bothering her the more demons ca to this world and Gods who kept feeding the greed of people's hearts. Compared to the Gods, she was nothing and she couldn't win against them in terms of taking people's hearts. Her authority was slowly being pushed aside by higher beings and sooner or later, she would beco nobody.
"My greed is different from others. My will is my greed and I don't care about what others offer , not even those Gods," Mykel said as he stood right in front of Elestria. "My wish and your wish are the sa," he paused. "We both want those higher beings to fuck off," he continued as he put his hand on Elestria's chin.
Elysande was surprised that Elestria didn't stop Mykel from touching her.
"Elestria!" Elysande shouted.
Elestria snapped back to reality and realized Mykel was standing in front of her with his hand on her chin. She then slapped Mykel's hand, but she wasn't angry at him, she was surprised and did what was right.
"Tell what you want, your highness. I'll show you what I'm capable of," Mykel said as he looked at Elestria with a smile.
"Give their heads," Elestria answered without hesitation. "I want both leaders' heads on my feet," she explained.
"As you wish, Your Highness," Mykel smirked as he slowly walked backward and down the stairs.
Mykel left the room, leaving both Elestria and Elysande in a shocked state. They couldn't believe what had just happened, and they had never seen soone as crazy as Mykel.
"Elestria, are you sure you want to trust that man? We know nothing about him," Elysande asked with a worried expression.
"I don't, but if sohow he did bring those old bastards heads, I will think of a befitting reward for him," Elestria answered as she sat down and couldn't stop rembering when Mykel stared at her and grabbed her chin. "As long as those two are dead, I have less problem," she added.
Elysande still didn't like the idea of trusting Mykel, but she couldn't do anything since Elestria was the queen.
Mykel left the palace and he noticed that Aevia was silently following him from behind. He wondered why she was so quiet, and then he turned around to look at her.
"Are you afraid that you will lose?" Mykel asked.
"No, I'm a bit jealous that you said those words to her," Aevia answered.
"Jealous? But I'm doing this to win you over," Mykel responded as he looked at Aevia over his shoulder.
"Your mouth is so dangerous," Aevia said.
