Along with a few corrupted elven warriors, Mark and Sylvandria started their journey to the other side of the world. They reached Mor Gondamin, the capital city of the kingdom of Dark Elves, after traveling for roughly more than 21 hours.
Even in such time, both of them had passionate sex in the wild three times, once in a forest, once behind the waterfall, and once in the carriage drawn by the horses.
After reaching the underground city of Mor Gondamin, they were welcomed with great respect by the dark elves, despite their disgust toward demonic beings as well as celestial elves. They made sure that neither Mark nor Sylvandria would feel any discomfort about the visit.
The reason for their hospitality is obvious. Sylvandria is a supreme being and Mark is the hero with unknown cultivation and mysterious abilities.
Following the plot, Mark cooperated well by putting up his fake smile until the round table conference started two days later.
Apart from Mark and Sylvandria, there are few other guests who aren't dark elves. Some of them were sun elves, some of them were moon elves, and some of them were mixed races.
All of these five groups are said to be working independently but for the same cause, the dethronement of Elowen Silverleaf and the destruction of the ruling class.
The Prime minister of the kingdom started the meeting by introducing the guests to others. Without any surprise, Mark and Sylvandria drew attention from everyone.
He then went on to say how bad is the ruling class and how they should work together to bring them down, blah blah blah. Mark listened to everything in a calm manner but his expression of disinterest was caught by Thyrandor, the King of Dark elves.
Thyandor couldn't help but comment before anyone even got to respond to their plan, "Lu Zhen, you seemed like you don't approve of the plan."
In an instant, the gazes fell upon the couple. "Perhaps, this was how the storyline is written," thought Mark and then replied while resting his elbows on the table and leaning forward, "I have something better that will end their era within a span of a few weeks."
"Few weeks?" Thyrandor furrowed his brows. "Please explain," he said.
Mark then spoke, "Simple, remove the Queen and create a civil war."
"Killing the Queen?" The guests looked at each other and started whispering among themselves.
It was then Thyrandor broke out into laughter, "And how do you propose to do that? We heard that Hero Lu defeated the demon emperor by himself. So, you might think it is a piece of cake for you, but I should remind you that the divine treasure in the hands of the Queen will nullify any type of attack that targets her. If you want to try your luck, please do so."
Mark shook his head with a smirk on his face, "When did I say we should kill the queen? I merely said that we shall remove the queen. Abducting her would be enough."
"Isn't it more difficult than killing?" Thyrandor's frown only deepened further, not being able to understand what this human was thinking.
Mark merely raised three fingers in response, "Give me three days and I will give you the civil war that you want. The rest, however, will depend on your abilities."
"In case of a full-blown war, I expect your assistance," Thyrandor commented.
Mark nodded firmly, "of course, that goes without saying."
"Here's a toast for the new alliance" "Cheers"
The next day, while his wife and subordinates returned to their home, Mark made a visit to the capital city.
As the world is a replica of the real elven world, Mark is able to teleport directly to the destination in an instant.
"Okay, half of the job is complete. Now, the other half remains..." Mark mumbled as he stared at the majestic royal palace, standing not far away from it. He opened the inventory to take out the suit and equip it so that he would be able to infiltrate the palace in invisibility mode.
It was only when he searched the inventory did he finally remembered that he had given away the suit to the system. Because of all that fun he had with the elven beauty for the past week, he had forgotten about it.
*Tap*
Mark couldn't help but slap his forehead for his idiocy, "how in the fuck did you plan on abducting her forgetting about the suit? Sigh… these days, you are really making the silliest of mistakes in every situation."
*Tap*
Slapping himself once again, this time on both of his cheeks at the same time with a bit of force, Mark mumbled, "Plan change. Let's just go on a killing spree and abduct her forcefully. Killing all the royal elves can also create a civil war. Not to mention, I don't think that Vexiron could create a world where the opponents could kill me when I could use all my abilities." He made his decision in an instant and charged forward.
One day later;
Sylvandria returned home, only to witness Elowen and her husband eating something that looked like a noodle dish in a bowl. Of course, the atmosphere doesn't seem pleasant in any way. As if the elven queen developed a great fear of Mark, her hand was still trembling uncontrollably even while eating.
"Elowen Silverleaf…" Sylvandria almost growled in anger as her eyes fell on the girl.
This led Elowen to jump up in fright and the food was spilled on the floor, bringing a frown to Mark's face. However, he didn't comment on that and simply greeted the woman who was said to be his wife in this realm, "Hey Syl, you are finally here. As I have promised you, here is our dear Queen. I brought her before you reach home, although in a slightly forceful method."
"I know, Dear. The news has already spread all over the world; the hero taking his revenge upon the royal elves that betrayed his sacrifice," replied the woman as she walked past the prisoner and reached Mark with a smile on her face. "You did great. Thank you."
Without minding Elowen's presence, she planted a kiss on her husband and looked at her, speaking in a mocking tone, "Look at you, the mighty queen who ruled the world. Let me say this to you again. The prophecy never spoke about you. It's me, the princess who is destined to be with the Hero.
I push you forward only to protect my oath but in reality, I know that you have no chance with him. In the end, your actions only lead us to fall in love and marry each other, breaking my oath in the process.
In order to compensate for fooling you all along, I let you become the Queen, favoring you over your half-brother. But, you thought too highly of yourself and in jealousy, you exiled both of us.
That day I merely accepted your decision and left in silence only because of my lingering feelings toward my homeland. Once that last bit of kindness is gone from my heart, your doom has been set into motion. It won't stop until I destroy everything you stood out for."
Mark was silently watching Sylvandria's speech and trying to analyze it. Some of those words indeed developed suspicion in his heart. That's right, Sylvandria's full name was Sylvandria Silverleaf; despite being an avatar of a deity and the High Priestess, she was born as a princess. That remains a fact.
He couldn't help but remember how the High Priestess (real one) tried her best to betroth the princess to him and when it seemed like it didn't work, she didn't hesitate to sacrifice herself to take out the demon emperor, Vexiron, and perhaps even himself (Mark) in the process.
One part of his brain says that he shouldn't take the words of a replica too seriously and the other part of his brain says that the real High Priestess was indeed up to something.
With such conflicting thoughts in his head, Mark tried his best to show that he was calm on the outside and blankly watched the scene unfolding before his eyes.
Soon, the situation evolved to the point that even Mark felt bad for the replica of Elowen he abducted with force.
In the living room, she was stripped naked by Sylvandria and had her hands tied by the energy rope. Compared to the women he had seen naked in his past life, whether directly or through the internet, she wasn't definitely appealing. She has more or less an underdeveloped body, like a minor human girl.
Yet, Mark couldn't help but want to play with that body as he has yet to become immune to the lust. In fact, by giving into lust many times in the past few days, he couldn't shake off his urge. His mind was corrupted to the extent that he doesn't mind raping her, just because she is an illusion.
When Sylvandria intended to humiliate Elowen by letting her subordinates have their way with her, Mark immediately acted and volunteered for the job.
Sylvandria, for some reason, accepted it too.
As she forcefully spread Elowen's legs apart, a naked Mark crouched down to play with her private parts before getting to the main deal. Elowen was pleading them to kill her but Mark didn't listen. He stretched his index finger forward.
Just as he was about to commit the deed, all of a sudden, divine energy suddenly erupted from Sylvandria and pushed him away.
Mark was pushed back a couple of meters and had his face hit the wooden floor. As he raised his head, he saw Sylvandria hugging Elowen with an angry look on her face, "You roach of a human. Keep your filthy hands off the princess."
"Princess?" A look of surprise appeared on Mark's face.
Before he expresses his confusion, the system decides to drop a nuke on his brain in the form of a notification.
*Ding! Sylvandria escaped the mind control. You triggered an emergency quest.
"Huh?"
