Under the green sky of the "Sylvania" forest, where trees embrace the clouds and magic flows through the air like oxygen, Arthur marched with his procession of four queens. The forest was eerily silent until the silence was pierced by the whistle of a silver arrow that passed with lightning speed by Arthur's ear, embedding itself in the tree behind him.
From among the high branches, Eriel, the Elf Queen, descended. She was slender, lithe, and her skin was as white as alabaster. Her pointed ears twitched cautiously, and her green eyes carried the pride of thousands of years.
"Stop, you profane humans," Eriel said, aiming her next arrow directly at Arthur's heart. "The stench of depravity you bring with you taints the purity of our forest. Return from whence you came, or this shall be the last thing you see."
The system flashed with an emerald green light:
> **[Target: Eriel - Elf Queen (Level 70)]**
> **[Status: "Connection to Nature" - "Eternal Virginity"]**
> **[Weak Point: Nature magic is highly sensitive to 'Toxins of Desire']**
> **[Mission: Use the skill 'Dark Spider Threads' to bind her graceful movement]**
>
"Eriel," Arthur said, stepping forward coldly, indifferent to the arrow pointed at him. "They say elves live forever, but they don't truly know the meaning of 'life.' You are merely beautiful statues in a forgotten forest. I have come to give you a reason to feel your heartbeat."
"Die!" Eriel released her enchanted arrow.
But midway, the arrow turned into black smoke. It wasn't Lilith who intercepted it this time; it was Elara (the Academy Principal), who used a new chemical magic to decompose the arrow in mid-air.
"My master does not like interruptions," Elara said with a malicious smile, looking at her former fellow queen.
> **[Skill Activated: Dark Spider Threads!]**

Suddenly, the roots of the trees Eriel was standing on began to turn from green to a dark purple-black. Sticky magical threads erupted from the ground and wrapped around Eriel's ankles and wrists, pulling her forcefully downward.
"What is this? The forest... the forest is betraying me?" Eriel shrieked as she tried to summon the tree spirits, but the spirits fled in terror from Arthur's dark aura.
Arthur reached her as she was bound in a provocative position against the trunk of a massive tree, her leaf-spun clothing beginning to tear under the pressure of the magical threads. He placed his hand on her waist, and in that moment, Eriel felt a shock she hadn't experienced in all the seven centuries she had lived.
> **[Activated: "Botanical Lust Virus"]**
> **[Description: Converts her connection to nature into a channel for transmitting extreme pleasure from the trees directly into her body]**

"Ah...!" Eriel's back arched, and her ears twitched sharply. The entire forest began to "moan" with her. Every tree in the forest had now become a means of tormenting her with pleasure. Her green eyes began to lose focus, and the ancient elven tattoo on her shoulder began to change, forming the symbol of **[Arthur's Property]**.
"The spirits of the forest are mine now," Arthur whispered, kissing her sensitive neck. "And you... you will be the bow that fires my arrows into the chests of my enemies."
> **[Submission Level: 50% - Rank Unlocked: "Bedchamber Sniper"]**
> **[Reward: "Eyes of Truth" – You can now detect hidden locations of treasures and legendary women]**

The sacred bow fell from Eriel's hand, and she leaned her head on Arthur's shoulder, completely surrendering to the power that nature could not protect her from.
"Master... the forest... the forest calls for you..." she whispered faintly.
Arthur turned to his five queens as they stood in the center of the forest that was now his private kingdom.
