50 chapter 50 - Master in Disguise (1/2)
”Only a Master servant has access to restricted areas. It is quite impossible for anyone else, and unless our enchanted contracts are broken we Sun Elves would be unable to help you either,” the maid said, her large blue eyes wilting.
”That's ok, I don't think only five of you would be able to achieve much anyway,” Kenji nodded, ”the satyr appeared too numerous for that at least.”
The pair smirked as they looked at one another.
”Dearest agent, firstly there is a neat twelve of us that survived the master's training. Secondly, while already powerful, we have been given the finest training possible so that we might become battle servants, able to fight off wild salamanders, angry spirits or even other Fae that might seek to overthrow the master. If we were set free, this entire realm would tremble in fear.”
The bloodlust in their aura spiked even as their smiles remained bright and their eyes warm. The outcome was Kenji being drenched in a cold sweat, feeling as if he stood before a nest of sleeping dragons.
”If you acquire for me a master servant, I Could replicate him and save the orphans at least. Perhaps if there is a focus point of your enchantments I could break them and free you? After that we could meet up with the Goddess and-”
”Please stop there. I thank you for your efforts, but that won't happen. Only the Far King can release us from his service, and with the effort required to destroy our kingdom and grind our people into his servants...it is unlikely to the extreme that he will ever release us willingly.”
”Then what about a trade? I could steal-”
”Stop!” the butler said suddenly, both he and the other sun elves having bathed the area in bloodlust. ”Do not use that word - we are bound to protect the property of our Master, please be more careful or the enchanments will compel us to act.”
”Then... bring me to where I can speak with a master servant in private...?” Kenji was anxious as he waited for the bloodlust to drain from the air, the still smiling sun elves returning to calm.
”Just this way, I'll bring you one of the master servants from another house for a ....chat, shall we say,” primly the maid vanished through the door at an astounding speed despite her maids outfit, the other elves returning to their endless dance around the Violet trees.
As he waited, Kenji decided to explore.
Further within was another Sun elf with a long golden beard, chiseling at stone into the rough shape of a woman. Behind him we're dozens more such statues, and peering behind them a long path filled with even more. All of Violet, their lost Goddess.
”You say she lives,” the old elf said with a straight back and trembling hands. While he hacked at the stone neither his fine white gloves nor black butlers dress were marred in the slightest.
”She does, healthy and happy. But alone, she thinks she's the only one left. I see it in her at times, that she puts up walls around her heart because she's afraid of losing everyone once more. Your return would mean the world to her, and that would mean a lot to me in turn.”
”And who are you little creature of chain, cloth and deceit? What path has led you to our fair Goddess?”
”I saved her from a human prison, and again when the humans returned for her. They aren't all bad, but some of their kind are truly horrible for what they have done,” Kenji's hands trembled with rage, so many painful memories of the evil deeds of humanity rushing through him.
Kenji felt a living vessel for their revenge, and he would be lying if the thought of breaking their power and setting the land free of King Thunberad's power hungry ways did not excite him. But was he such a hero as that? Was Kenji to scout worthy heroes to fight such a man - or should Kenji focus on the lands liberation himself?
First thing first, Kenji had already decided to free these elves. He knew not how - but he swore it would be done.
