Chapter 07

"Do we seriously have to do this bro? I mean won't it break her heart when she finds out she is in love with her father's murderer?" I inquired.

"Who cares if she does? She's bound to find out anyways. Just teach me how to make her fall head over heels for me." Davis half yelled at me with flame in his eyes.

"If you say so." I grumbled.

"Okay. Look into her eyes. But this time, the look should be sweet and not with the usual cold look you show people."

"And second, try to make her dead heart spark again. You need to melt her ice heart."

"Okay. I think that's all for now." I walked away.

We've monitored the girl and I am smitten by her. Her beauty, her aura, her knowledge and skills, everything about her is just so perfect. 

She looks breathtaking. Just like Aster. If only she didn't have to die during the war. Then our child would have been 50 years of age or more as an immortal. If only she didn't have to sacrifice her life for the peace between the human race and the Immortals. 

She has the perfect traits of Aster. I guess coming here was a bad idea. Maybe that's the reason Davis never wanted me to come in the first place.

I went back inside and found him standing idly. I hugged him and he reciprocated it. He simply patted my back and left. I felt emotional for a while and got ahold of myself however, it doesn't mean I'm stable yet. 

I picked up my sword and went to the inn's training ground and used my illusions technique to make fighters that could attack and defend.

"Her Majesty approaches!" Everyone stood straight and assembled at the palace entrance.

A podium was already set up and for me to stand on and get a clearer view of the people.

I walked onto the podium as my black dress swayed In harmony with the calm breeze. 

I took in a deep breath before starting my speech. It's my first time facing such a huge audience and I wouldn't lie I was a bit nervous about it. I just hope I don't step on the wrong butterfly.

I maintained a calm demeanor and started my speech.

"Today, two things shall be happening!" I declared with the audacity I had no idea I possessed.

"Historians could you please take note of this?"

"First, the marking of a new system and secondly, a great privilege that distinguish between the ruler and it's subjects." 

"Among the privileges, is that slavery would no longer be overlooked. Hence, whoever is caught practicing human trafficking or such, would be seen as a great criminal regardless of their status in the social circle. For this are the teachings of the great Aster Onil, my ancestor!"

"Secondly, each family would be given a plot of land each with seeds to plant. This way, I can be rest assured that my subjects won't have to emigrate or live in hunger." I announced.

Trust! I recalled Rowland's lecture before coming over. I had to gain their trust before I start to do anything concerning the nation. 

There was jubilation among the people and they all cheered up for me. 

"Also, the tax rate would be reduced by forty percentage in consideration of the dependent ones." I smiled.

"All hail her Majesty!" 

"May you live long, Your Majesty!" 

I found a pair of Irish green eyes staring at me from afar and it looks slightly similar and it looked like my world stopped. I couldn't help but stare. 

I wanted to stop but I couldn't control myself. Just then, he smirked. Hold on! I remember that smirk.
