Chapter 380: This Elf Princess Wont Give Up! (1/2)
Alma POV 17/17
-----
After dinner with my mother, we spent some hours with Elred in my room, reading books for the most part. He had brought some of his favorite books, and he loved to talk about them, it wasn't as boring as I imagined, and I had a fun time with him.
After that, he went to sleep in his own guest room, although he kind of wanted to stay some more with me. But did he want to sleep in my bed or something?! No way!
Anyways, after that, I slept rather well, spending a day without worrying about the detestable Greenwood, and my future as a lab rat is nice, even less when I didn't have to think about anything else than this…
I think I have a year or perhaps a few months before I am taken away with my sibling to Greenwood's facility. My parents are brainwashed by him and are even willing to give up their newborn child to this complete stranger… I cannot destroy their brainwashing because it is too strong and seeped into their brains and souls.
I will have to somehow find a way to escape using all the tools I have at my disposal, from Dagger to my new armor that is being made by Balmonlir, and I will also have to pack a lot of medicinal things, as many as I can! Alongside food, clothes, maybe even a tent and other things… You're never too prepared.
But that's assuming I manage to somehow escape… I don't know how I will be able to do that, but I have to find a way out of this and with my little sibling, of course. I won't leave without my sibling.
Maybe I could escape even before getting caught? I had considered it, but it seems too risky, and it will end with my parents chasing me down, which will end pretty ugly if they find me and then give me back to Greenwood again, but if I am already given to him, expose whatever he does inside his facility, and then show it to them as they chase me down, maybe I can find a way to convince them and break their brainwashing?
Huh… I wish life could be a bit easier in this regard, it's such a pain in the ass. I have to deal with this annoying motherfucker that just wants to use me as a guinea pig, most likely…
I have to use this time to raise a few companions, if possible… the twins might be coming tomorrow, but that's not near as enough… maybe I should go recruiting people all around the city? But that will bring unwanted attention, if my mother or father finds out about the twins, I can always say they're just friends because they're young, but if I bring a contracted mercenary, they'll obviously have suspiciousness of me and where the heck I got him…
Huh… Maybe I shouldn't go recruiting kids, it might seem as weird… then this only means I only got the twins now… I don't know if her mother would be willing, but the twins are talented, in a few more years they could become quite strong.
Perhaps I should also tame some monsters? Maybe having a tamed monster pet to cover my back would be helpful for me, if I could rely on a good wolf that helps me out…
