Chapter 291 Fear (10)
Billy's image of Jeannette was a bit different from reality. She still had that crazy look in her eyes of someone who only wanted to amuse herself, but at least her words weren't full of madness. They made some sense.
As for her appearance, she was truly gorgeous. She looked like one of that princesses from movies, maybe she was trying too hard to look like one, but in Billy's eyes, she still lacked appeal because she didn't have a toned body. So, she clearly looked below Billy's wives. His opinion was biased, naturally, but he was relieved by that. He didn't become one of those characters of fantasy stories that get reincarnated and lust after every single attractive female.
"... So, there are others like us," Billy said.
"You already realized that, and you are still trying to live a carefree life here?" Jeannette asked. "Getting married, becoming a servant to a mere leader of the state, there must be something wrong with your head."
"I see. You really are like one of those," Billy said. "You have the knowledge of your previous life. Hence that makes you better than the people here. So, it is only natural to try to stand above the others… I think there must be something wrong with you."
"Hey, are you seriously going to play the game of morality here?" Jeannette frowned while showing a condescending smile. "You didn't really study the history of this world? You should have found signs by now that we aren't the first people to be summoned to this world. You didn't find any ruins? Signs of forgotten empires? How do you think that they have fallen?"
Billy had considered that, but it could have been because of other reincarnated individuals? That he never considered… For a few times, he thought that they might be on Earth because the names were similar. Still, maybe it was because of the previous reincarnated individuals. That news was quite troubling. If Jeannette's conjecture was right, then Billy had been summoned to plain in a game devised by someone else, but who? The god or goddess of that world? There was no mention of such being anywhere, though.
"It is hard to find proper information of things that happened in the past because our powers are basically limitless, so when people like us fight, it is hard to contain the damage caused," Jeannette said. "However, it is clear that reincarnated have fought reincarnated in the past. Possibly, dozens of times, given the numerous types of ruins across this world. Knowing all that, do you still want to play house?"
"... Why are you telling me this?" Billy asked. "Don't tell me that you are an alliance."
"Of course not. An alliance is an agreement between two equal forces. I have three states under my rule. What do you have?" Jeannette asked while grinning. "The backing of some powerless governors? I am willing to give you the chance to work under me. While it isn't much, you have achieved a few things, and I would rather not participate in combat. Someone like you can lead my troops and become my right-hand man. It is hard to find good employees these days."
Billy wasn't someone who tends to preach, but Jeannette needed some words of correction. Still, perhaps even that wouldn't be enough. She was seeing things from the perspective of a reincarnated person, and while that wasn't unexpected, it was too narrow-minded of a view. Billy's answer was obvious, but before he could give it, Jeannette pointed her hand at him, and then he felt a powerful pressure on his whole body.
"This is a waste of time… I don't need to be merciful to someone who doesn't even know their place," Jeannette said.
Billy tried to tree himself using his brute strength, and while he could move his body a little, fighting was impossible.
"Oh? You are strong. No one managed to endure my Telekinesis this much," Jeannette said. "However, that is your limit."
Jeannette began to control Billy's hands, and then she made them approach his face. That was bad. Billy realized how nasty of a woman she was when she made his index fingers approach his eyes. Strangely, Billy felt relieved… there was no need to be merciful just because she was from Earth.
Small lightning bolts flew from Billy's hands to Jeannette's face, but they stopped when they were half a way from her. She could use her Telekinesis to make even a barrier. Still, her control over Billy's weekend since she couldn't do so many things at once. Billy freed himself and then grabbed his spears.
"That is useless," Jeannette said, and then her eyes emitted a blue glow.
In the next moment, Billy's vision began to get blurry. He immediately understood that Jeanette was trying to control his head. 'Bend the knee,' 'Bend the knee,' 'Bend the knee,' 'Bend the knee'... those messages began to multiply in his head while he heard her voice… Her sense of superiority was so powerful that she send that instead of making him kill himself. Regardless, Billy thought that he would be immune to her powers, but it seemed that wasn't the case. However, when Billy used Fierce Aura, his mind cleared up.
