章 7: Future Plans
Dinner ends, and the four of us head our separate ways. My brother plans to visit me in my room in about an hour before I'm supposed to sleep. Annie helps me walk my way there as I pretend to be weak. She brings me to my room, and I sit down on the couch in front of the fireplace. She brings me a shawl to wear over the chemise and sits down beside me. I lay my head on hers and grab the book beside me.
It's a book on herbology and what different flowers mean. I flip through the pages, looking at the different flowers of this world.
There's one with black petals that end in a bright red. It's referred to as Ghael's flower. It's generally used at funerals due to its similarities to the crows of this world.
Then there's a blue flower with pink spots. It's called Ramiel. It's generally used at coming of age ceremonies.
Ah, here's the one I'm looking for. It's a flower with wide red petals. It has purple lines going across the petals as well. It's called the Yuzelia flower. It's generally used by lesbians to profess their love for one another.
I'll have to buy some Yuzelias for Annie soon. I put my hand on Annie's thigh and start running my fingers up and down it. She flinches a little at my touch, but allows me to continue. I stop rubbing her thigh and wrap my arm around her. I grab her waist and pick her up onto my lap sideways. I grab her hand and hold it tightly before bringing it up and kissing it.
"Thank you for taking care of me during my time of need Annie."
I wrap my arms around her and hug her tightly. The girl squeaks as I do this, but doesn't fight me. After a few minutes of acting lovey dovey with my maid, a knock sounds on the door. I let Annie get up and let my brother in to talk.
"Rosanna, what did you want to talk about?"
He sits down on the couch across from me as Annie starts brewing some tea. I trust Annie, so I don't mind speaking about this in front of her.
"Brother, I know about your plan. And I wish for you to stop."
He jumps as I say this and nearly yells at me,
"Rosanna! You can't still be in love with that prick can you?!"
I shake my head no and continue,
"You misunderstand me brother. I simply wish to get revenge by my own means. I have no desire to let that bastard walk free. The way you were going about it is too easy for them. I may have no memory of what happened, but I still desire revenge."
He seems to cool off somewhat after hearing my reasoning.
"Very well, but you must let me in on your plans!"
I chuckle at his childish actions and decide to tell him,
"I plan on turning Ralia into a slave and force the prince to watch as I do. Normally, I wouldn't do something as barbaric as putting a slave seal on someone, but I believe that wench deserves it."
I added that last part to make Annie not hate me. I know her past and her hatred of slavers, but she should understand after hearing what Ralia did. I glance at her and see that she didn't even flinch at my words. My brother nods his head and thinks for a second,
"Hmm. That is indeed better than just killing them, but he is still the crown prince. How do you plan on doing this? You can't be planning a coup?"
He gets a little bit skeptical as he thinks it out.
"Simple. I plan on getting the princess and on my side."
I don't really. I'll probably be liked by the two, but they wouldn't be enough to allow me to do all that to the prince. I plan on just teleporting into the princes room and fucking Ralia in front of him while he's chained up. It'll be glorious to see that despair before I kill him. That knight beside him will be difficult to deal with quietly now as he's about the equivalent of an archmage. This is one of the main reasons for me to create the mixture. It will allow my skin to absorb more mana.
My brother eventually takes his leave from my room after we chat about nonsense things. Annie and I eventually drift off to sleep.
—-----------------------
I wake up. Or, I don't. My soul is pulled into another dimension, leaving my body behind.
'Hmm. Seems like something wishes to get rid of me. Probably some spirit or god. Luckily, I know that they can't harm my soul until their descent onto the planet many years in the future. This is probably a scare tactic.
Indeed it is as I see a giant bearded man quickly approaching me. He punches at me. His hand splits the clouds and breaks mountains as it approaches me. As it comes within inches of my face, my soul is forced back into my body and I wake up.
'The prick could've at least let me stay asleep.'
I look outside and see that it's still the middle of the night. I suppose now's as good a time as any. I use magic to change my hair color to brown and turn my face to be rather normal looking. I shrink myself down by about five inches and put on some commoner clothing. I plan on visiting the auction house and selling a mana stone I create.
I close my eyes and start circulating mana through my veins. The mana starts coming from my pores and turns into a cold liquid. Ice starts forming on my hand as I hold the cold liquid in. My skin hasn't been strengthened yet, so I need to get this done quickly. The liquid starts forming into a gem-like form. More mana starts to stick to the outside, eventually forming a palm sized stone of pure mana. Of course, mana stones aren't normally this pure, which is why I'm selling it at the auction house.
The auction house keeps the identities of their sellers a secret, and I'm gonna be paying it a visit every now and then to look for materials to strengthen myself. I decided on the name Midas as my seller name. This mana stone should be worth about ten thousand gold coins, and depending on who is present at the auction, it could even go up to a hundred thousand. Ten thousand gold is enough to buy a medium-sized mansion in an upper scale neighborhood, so I should have enough for my future plans. I'll have my claws digging into this entire kingdom within a year!
