Apparently, it all started with a magic crown. Who would had tell that I would gain such tasty and juicy intel from a random dead spirit? Well this has happened before when I visited the other duchies, so it is completely possible to be told many important things by just a random passerby dead spirit that has way too much backstory than his simply appearance implies. But this guy’s appearance was really unique, so I was sure he had a crazy backstory, and it ended being pretty amazing to know he was even related to those Ice Giants which I have grown quite interested on.
“So she stole the Crown of Skadi and just became evil?” I wondered. “Why did she stole it to begin with?”
“The girl… no, the woman… Tear was someone good-hearted. But something happened years ago, when her brother was found dead…” He said. “She felt heartbroken and we later learned that the humans have killed him because he had approached the country. I don’t know why they did this when they were so open to negotiations before… She went to grab the crown because she wanted the power to avenge her brother.”
“Oh…”
That left me quite speechless. The humans here did that?! But they’re so nice and all… Maybe it was a group of evil ones? It is more possible… Well, there is never a place that is truly freed from these people, they’ll eventually find a way to appear everywhere you go. Because this girl wanted to avenge her brother, she went to grab this crown and then… she turned into the Frost Queen.
“How did this happen? She just put the crown and changed?” I asked.
“Yes… Since she put on the crown that Tear changed.” He said. “Her entire personality… Everything about her changed, in fact. She wasn’t the same anymore… She used to be such a sweet girl back then… Now, she turned into a tyrannical woman, she governs the Ice Giants with her Ice Magic powers, which developed into something incredibly strong too… She killed me when I tried to bring her back, to take out her crown… After that, I’ve drifted until I ended in this town.”
“Oh Jesus… Okay, I see… I guess you lived through a whole Anime Arc there, didn’t you, buddy?” I sighed. “Well now, you can stay with mama for now if you want to. I am not the Undead Queen for nothing, I’ll slowly heal you up and we might go met your friend there once more.”
“Really? Would you do this for me, my Queen?” He asked. He seemed to be excited about my proposal, but I was very interested in doing trades with the Ice Giants, and also see this Frost Queen and whatever happened to the poor girl named Tear, I feel like there’s a lot of intrigue into this.
“Sure thing! But for now, come into my shadows and rest for the moment, I will conjure Undead Healing you slowly, and probably turn you into a ghost eventually, for now I would like you to rest and assess your thoughts and mind for the moment.” I said, as I opened my shadows and the void of darkness emerged within the floor, the dead spirit quickly jumped inside, thanking me another time before entering into a “recovering” slumber.
And with that, I dozed off until the next morning, where the light of the sun barely entered through the window because the clouds covered the entire sky, so the sunlight didn’t even reached us but the faint light of the day in general, which kept the entire room completely dark.
“Achoo! Hahh… D-Did I caught a cold?” Sighed Emeraldine. “I… Ugh, my head! Uaaggh! Uueeggh… Aaaghhhh…”
Emeraldine suddenly began to grab her head in pain, a yes, she’s having a hangover. It is quite obvious why she’s having one, yesterday she drank two whole bottles of mint wine, it was to be expected she would feel this way, this dorky elf really gets on my nerves sometimes.
She began to touch her head and started using healing magic on her own brain, but the healing magic was not working fast, but slowly, only making it even more painful for her… I wish I could do anything, but I really can’t, this is just the hangover.
“Uuuggh… It hurts… I am never drinking again… Damned mint wine, it is a poison! A poison…” She cried, I moved to her side and caressed her head.
“There, there, calm down already, everything is fine.” I sighed. “This is what you get for drinking way too much, I don’t even know why you ended liking the mint wine so much.”
“I-It was tasty… But now that I remember the flavor I want to throw up- Ueggh…” Emeraldine suddenly threw up over the bed.
“Well, what a way to start the morning…” Said Lucifer. As a dragon, he seemed to be pretty resistant to toxins, so he didn’t seem as affected of Emeraldine.
“Uagh! Yuck… Emeraldine, stop throwing up in front of Master!” Said Partner. “Do you got some fetish about it or something?! You always do this!”
“I-I am sorry… My tummy hurts… Ugh… Sniff… Sorry…” Emeraldine began to cry and that broke my heart. I quickly helped her walk to the bathroom to wash her.
“Don’t worry, let’s go wash your face a little bit first, okay? You look all messy now, girl, just look at you! Geez…” I sighed, as I helped her wash her face with the water and then I took all her clothes out and decided to make her take a warm bath. They had fire stones and water stones, fire stones warm things or produce small flames when infused with mana, and water stones produce water when infused with mana, so the two can make a nice warm bath in a few seconds, by placing the stone in the water and waiting a few minutes, the water was warm enough and I let Emeraldine sitting there.
“Y-You’re looking at all my nude body…” She said while blushing.
“Well, I think I saw it before, when I first saw you, you were almost nude…” I sighed.
“Oh…”
“Yeah…”
