With Faye watching her attentively, the dark elf took out the originium crystal that stored the movie ‘Léon: The Demon.’
Ever since she stepped foot into this room, she could feel the sensation of a dagger being placed on her neck. Furthermore, her neck seemed to become extremely soft and butter-like. That dagger would be able to easily cut through her neck.
“This is the interesting thing you spoke of?”
Faye stared at the originum crystal. She was unable to tell exactly what about this black originum stone was more interesting than those furry dolls. That said, she was not very interested in those dolls either.
“Please have a look...”
The dark elf had struggled to survive in this world for many years. Once, she interrupted the sleep of a giant bronze dragon. When the dragon woke up, it was so furious. At that time, she had truly evoked a disaster...
But, the dark elf felt that, compared to waking up that bronze dragon, interrupting the sleep of this Chaos Demon was even more dangerous. At least, she was able to rely on her agile movements to escape the rupturing rocks sent flying by the furious dragon. But, if this Chaos Demon before her was to show any sign of displeasure, she would lose her life that very instant.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Chaos Demon was still interested, the dark elf began to imbue her magic into the originium crystal. Instantly, the movie ‘Léon: The Demon’ was projected to a wall in the room.
The dark elf could only hope that the fourth princess’s appreciation toward arts would be similar to her elder brother...
The reality proved that a good movie would attract anyone anywhere. When the movie officially began, Faye’s attention was completely captured by it.
The dark elf heaved a sigh of relief. Accompanying the princess, she began to watch the ‘Léon: The Demon’ for the third time.
Two and half hours passed in a flash. When the movie came to an end, Faye suddenly asked a question that caused the dark elf’s heart to palpitate slightly.
“Is that human by the name of Stansfield still alive?”
“About that... I don’t know either.”
The dark elf had decided to act in accordance to her race’s nature... and answered Faye’s question with a lie.
The actor for Stansfield, Sir Weissenasche, was not only alive, he was also living very comfortably... His theater had the rights to be the first theater to screen the movie ‘Léon: The Demon.’ Likely, the entire theater’s treasury has been piled up by the coins people used to purchase tickets for the movie.
If the dark elf told Faye the truth, if she told her Stansfield was still alive, Faye might leap out from her bed and proceed to Norland to pay him a visit.
Faye stared at the dark elf for a very long time. She seemed to not be able to determine if the dark elf was lying or telling the truth.
“What happened to Mathilda after?” she asked.
After watching ‘Léon: The Demon,’ Faye seemed to have considered all that happened in the movie to be real.
The dark elf wanted to patiently explain to her that everything in the movie was fictional... But, she pondered over that thought for a bit before taking out an originium crystal that could allow one to sign in to the magic network. She also took out the World Tree’s leaf.
“Please crush this with your hand. You’ll be able to know what Mathilda has been doing recently once you do that.”
“This?”
The dark elf’s originium crystal rose into the air and floated to Faye’s hand. After Faye crushed the originium crystal, a great amount of runes enveloped her body. The magic network system appeared in his mind.
Faye’s eyes immediately lighted up by the window that appeared in her field of vision.
As someone who stays in the demon realm all year round and rarely goes outside, what the dark elf brought back was equivalent to a sightseeing rail train that connected with the outside world.
Faye displayed astonishing talent in using the magic network. The Mage Forum that the dark elf spent a long time figuring out how to use was completely grasped by her in a short few minutes.
She also accepted the End User License Agreement during those few minutes. Using ‘Faye’ as her name, she logged into the Mage Forum.
Faced with all the writings on the Mage Forum, her fingers that were tapping nonstop finally came to a halt.
“If you wish to follow Mathilda...”
The dark elf was finally able to interrupt her now. She planned to tell Faye how to find out about Mathilda’s latest developments.
But, Faye ignored her. Her eyes were completely captured by the Mage Forum. Having been imprisoned in the demon realm’s tower all this time, she has never seen such a ‘lively’ scene before.
A large number of posts were being updated nonstop. The magic network users from all over Norland were openly expressing their opinions in this new virtual world. At this moment, Faye became one of them.
“There’s so many living people,” said Faye with a low voice.
“...”
The dark elf entered a brief moment of silence upon hearing those words. She took a glance at her own magic network. On it was the latest update from the ‘Black Swan’s’ camp.
She was introducing to all her followers, or perhaps showing off to all her followers, her life... a free and prosperous life.
At times, the dark elf would check out her camp for a bit. But, when she did that, she would feel very envious toward the Black Swan. Unfortunately, she was destined to live her life in the darkness.
As for the young girl before her, she was someone who had never left the Demon Realm’s Royal City all her life. This magnificent castle might be the most well-secured prison for her.
To continuously show the beauty of the outside world to someone living in a prison seemed like a cruel thing to do.
“Your Highness Faye...”
Actually, the real reason why the dark elf returned to the demon realm was because she wanted to help Faye ‘break out of the prison.’
When the dark elf made her resolution to help Faye escape from this damned place, she discovered Faye laid herself back onto her bed. But, this time around, her hands were raised up into the air and tapping nonstop.
“Bring me back a cup of luminous fruit juice from the kitchen. Remember to add ice to it,” said Faye.
At this moment, the dark elf suddenly realized that Faye’s magic network interface had changed from the Mage Forum to a game. She remembered that game seemed to be called ‘Super Mario.’
“Yes, Your Highness,” The dark elf took a glance at the concentrating fourth princess. To rashly interrupt her at a time like this would be akin to interrupting a giant dragon while it’s enjoying barbequed meat, akin to bringing one’s sword to pick the dragon’s teeth, a dangerous and foolish thing to do.
.........
The dark elf spent some time and found a speciality fruit from the demon realm, an illuminating fruit. After crushing the fruit and extracting all the juice, she used ‘freeze’ magic and placed a couple blocks of ice in the juice.
Even though the dark elf was Norland’s most outstanding information dealer, she seemed to manage to successfully change career into a nanny the moment she returned to the demon realm.
Unfortunately, her work as a nanny did not advance smoothly. Right after she walked out from the kitchen, the blade of a sword was placed on her neck.
She didn’t even detect the arrival of the owner of that sword! The dark elf raised her head... She looked at the person standing before her, the demon realm’s chief sentinel and the second heir to the Demon Realm’s Throne, Cecily Annerlaude.
