Chapter 49 - Chapter 49 – Murmurs. Isaac?

Pov: Frieren

Looking at what was left of Phobos's men—and of her—I let out a sigh. Nothing remained. The only thing left was a hole in the ground with a stain at the bottom. The only sign that humans had ever been there were a few scraps of clothing.

So, I used earth magic to cover the hole and then nature magic to grow grass over it. Seconds later, it looked as if nothing had ever happened. That's when I sensed someone's presence.

Two people.

It was Serie and Lyuu. Both of them came flying.

"Queen! What happened here? I felt an enormous amount of magic coming from this direction," Serie said, completely terrified. But she looked around and didn't notice anything unusual. I turned to her and smiled.

"It's all fine now."

"What happened?" she asked again.

"Enemies appeared."

"Humans again?"

"Not just humans. A God showed up."

When Serie heard the word "God," her brow furrowed. "Did you kill it? Who was it?"

"Phobos."

"Phobos? You killed Phobos?" Serie asked in disbelief.

"Who is Phobos?" Lyuu asked, since she didn't know her. She still hadn't learned about all the Gods in this world. There are many, after all.

"She was a rather unpleasant woman, but you don't need to worry about her anymore." I smiled at Lyuu and ruffled her hair. "Shall we go back now? The other elves must be worried."

"Wait a second. You just said you killed Phobos, didn't you?"

"Yes, that's right. Not only her—there were many men with her."

"Then… what's going to happen to the capital of Rukia now? Didn't Phobos take control of everything? Do you think it'll be okay?"

"You're worried about those humans?" I asked.

"It's not that I'm worried, but…"

"Just ignore their existence. In less than a month…"

"Hm?" Serie looked confused by my words.

"They'll destroy themselves within a month," I said with a smile.

I flew back to the village, with Serie and Lyuu following right behind me. The entire way back, we stayed silent, not discussing what had happened. I must admit, my conscience is perfectly clear about it.

They brought this upon themselves.

We arrived at the village and landed in front of the great tree where the elves usually gather.

"Don't worry, the threat has already been dealt with. Nothing will happen to you," I told the elves, and they smiled.

"That's our queen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The elves began thanking me, and I felt quite pleased.

After patting some of them on the head, I turned to Serie.

"I'm going upstairs now. I'll take a bath and lie down. Dealing with those people exhausted me." I wasn't physically tired—just mentally drained. I dislike dealing with problems.

Because of that, even though I enjoy being the queen of the elves, I always found it a bit troublesome.

"Alright. I'll stay here and prepare something to eat. Will you be having dinner?"

"I didn't even have lunch." I sighed. "I'll have dinner, so make something for me. Please use the seasonings I like. I don't enjoy tasteless food."

"Of course…"

I flew up and entered my room through the window. Then I took off all my clothes and stood completely naked. Still nude, I stretched my body and felt all my joints crack. "I need to exercise a little. I'm sore."

Since I only use magic, I usually don't fight using physical strength.

I'm weak, after all.

I looked at my arms—there were no muscles.

There never were.

Whenever I needed to punch someone, I used body-strengthening magic to do it.

I shrugged and went to the bathroom. I took a cold shower and returned to my room with a towel over my shoulder. I sighed and threw myself onto the bed just like that, without putting anything on. It's comfortable to be like this.

Then, I fell asleep.

Pov: Serie

After the queen went to her room to rest, I headed to the kitchen and prepared some things for a snack. I made bread using flour and put it to bake in the oven. "This will take a while."

Then, I went toward her room to check on her.

"Is she already asleep?" I whispered as I approached the door.

I grabbed the handle and turned it. It wasn't locked. I opened the door slowly, and the sunlight filling the room came into view. Why doesn't she use curtains? How can she rest like this?

Still not looking at the bed, I walked inside and headed toward the windows.

Then I stepped on something soft.

A towel.

Huff~~

I sighed and picked the towel up from the floor. Then I looked toward the bed.

There, I saw the queen lying on her stomach, completely naked. Her butt—probably very soft to the touch—was pointed toward the ceiling. Her legs were slightly open, so I also had a view of her most precious area.

I'm pretty sure I saw a light pink color there.

I felt my face heat up, and I kept staring at that region for a while.

Stop looking. Stop looking. I repeated in my mind.

Then I remembered seeing the queen and Ryuu hugging, both completely naked.

Did something else happen that day? I wondered.

She said nothing happened… but was that the truth?

I swallowed and approached the bed. Now close enough, I had an even better view of her small, pale butt. I wanted to touch it, just to know what it felt like, but I restrained myself.

I can't do something like that.

Why am I feeling these strange things just by looking at the queen's body? This has never happened before. I even bathed her when she started getting sick.

I took the towel in my hands and gently placed it over her butt.

Having blocked that sight, I began to calm down.

I looked at the queen's face—she was sleeping peacefully. She was even drooling.

Then I heard some words escape her mouth.

"My name is Isaac… My name is Isaac."

They were murmurs.

"Isaac?"
