CHAPTER 441: A +11 EPIC?! (1/2)
“Your holiness, are you alright?”
Paliseth barely stepped into the room before she immediately leapt in my direction. Ignoring the visibly at a loss Jezsere near me, she reached out and pulled me towards her, right into a rubbing embrace.
I say, how about you stop showing off those mountains of yours for once… I’ll admit, they are big, but they are also suffocating me right now. Also, I’m still a bonafide man here! Why are you acting so brazenly in front of me? I might just… just… fine. At least my soul is that of a man’s!
If it wasn’t for your kids and Solar-sama, I would have already… muffled sounds I… I swear! Just because my pee pee isn’t here doesn’t mean you can just bully me…
“Master… master’s body is convulsing…”
“Mother… cease and desist…” I could vaguely make out Reyage’s panicked pleading from within the depths of bouncy hell. “You’re hugging his holiness too tightly, he can’t breath…”
After a fair bit of flailing later, I was finally allowed to breath once more. The first thing I did then was to distance myself from Paliseth, scampering all the way to the safety of Jezsere’s back.
“Back off, don’t come a step closer!” I even threw her a ‘scram’ look to make my point even clearer. “That’s right, just like that, stay the right heck away from me. Also, I forbid you from pointing those deadly weapons in my face again… I still want to live for a long time…”
“Alright.” Paliseth cheekily smiled as she said that. Clearly my warning had no effect on her.
However, there was nothing I could do about this nonchalance of hers. This centuries old hag definitely knew that I didn’t truly dislike her chest rubbing, that’s why she always opened up with that move. Speaking of moves… that bounciness only gets better the more she does it, like an acquired taste… but I definitely do not want to suffer death by bouncy suffocation! At least give me some warning before you do that.
Putting aside the slightly smug Paliseth for now, I turned my attention towards Reyage. “How’s your injuries, Reyage?”
“They are fine now, Reyage is grateful for your holiness’s concern.” Reyage lowered his head as he said that. His face looked a little tense, just like his unusually polite words, as if he didn’t dare look me in the eyes.
I guess this is what an emperor felt like in the past when his subjects addressed him… for him to change so much overnight… Without a doubt, my status in Dark Elven society had reached the level of an emperor of old.
“As long as you’re fine.” I nodded lightly in his direction but made no mention of why he was even injured to begin with. Reyage smartly chose not to bring up his failure in Arachne Caverns as well.
“It’s fine, just some minor side effects, that’s all.” Having said that, I raised my left hand to show them my new accessory. “This is my… +11 Epic Purple Mithril Triple-threat Fire Elemental Guarding a Inferno Lion Summoning Tool…”
Don’t ask me why the name is so long, because I am shocked as well. Why the heck did I think of that name the moment I saw that bracelet?! I know why, it must be Ferti’nier’s fault! That she-devil, why did she have to come with such a weird name!? And I thought that’s just a name you only see in games?
Has she been flipping through my memories? Or did I leak out some information from my previous life? Either way, she seems to have found out some stuff about my previous life…I just hope this won’t come back to bite me in the butt.
“Master… the name is a bit much for Jezsere…” She groggily shook her head, clearly shocked by the majesty that was my bracelet.
“Your holiness sure has a unique sense of… naming…” She tried to think of a more polite way to describe my majestic bracelet but finally settled on a dry laugh instead. “Really unique…”
Reyage: …
Hey, don’t give me that ‘I’m looking at a moron’ look… it’s really not my naming, it’s Ferti’nier! Also… also… you know what, there’s no point in denying it at all. To the uninitiated, I was the one who created this majestically-named bracelet. In that case, the one who came up with the name had to be me as well…
