Chapter 386: Angellic Sun Dragon (5)

"Um… Okay, but can you help me?"

"Sure. I have no reason to decline as it is as simple as a clap of two hands. She'll be gone from the media by tomorrow,"

"Thanks… Also, may I ask what your name is?"

She gave me a long squint before finally opening her mouth.

"Ysal. My name is Ysal and I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you my last name as of now. I am currently just not comfortable giving it out," She said and I saw her eyes shine a dim orange before returning to the normal yellow shade.

"No need to be so polite to me. I am your pet and you are my owner," I said in order to try and find the reaction that I was hoping for.

"Please don't say that. As partners now, we should treat each other equally… Unless it's in front of others because then most people will get suspicious," She said and I could barely hide my smile.

"Alright. I promise," I said and we shook on it.

…

The next day, it was finally time for the ball/party where everybody had gathered to flaunt their beautiful elves whether that be male elves or female elves.

The male elves were just as beautiful as the female elves so they definitely had something to compete with.

And, let's talk about the nobles.

Everybody was wearing their fanciest clothes and even the elves had been dressed up in clothes that perfectly fit them… including me.

My dress was white, very frilly, and something that was definitely not to my liking but since it fit me, Ysal had me wear it.

I talked with a few of the elves, and a few of the nobles, and even made some acquaintances as I wouldn't call them friends yet.

"Are you enjoying the party?" Ysal suddenly came up to me and asked just as I was feasting on an entire basket of biscuits.

She chuckled a bit after seeing my stuffed cheeks and wiped the few crumbs off the side of my lips before I swallowed everything.

"Of course. This place has amazing food," I responded and Ysal warmly smiled before waltzing off again.

To be honest, I expected a bit more but I guess this could make do…

And all of a sudden, I saw my target: A woman with long yellow hair, sparkling yellow eyes, and flawless white skin with a beautiful and curvy body.

I'd say she was in her mid-twenties but judging by drake age, she was most likely around her mid-two hundreds.

As a candidate for the empress, she was coated in special yellow magic that made her practically sparkle.

But, just as I was about to go up to her, Ysal suddenly called out to me.

"Sweetie, come here!"

I turned towards her and then turned back towards the woman who was just about to walk towards the balcony, a perfect place to try and get to know her before leading her somewhere and killing her silently.

Well, I guess Ysal is going to take care of that, but…

"U-uh, I have to go somewhere," I said but Ysal wasn't having any of it.

"Lily… come," She said coldly and her words were too hard to resist so I slowly made my way over there before sitting down on a chair next to her.

To be honest, Ysal could be pretty scary when she wants to and that event that just occurred was proof of that.

"Good girl," She said while stroking my hair and as I sat awkwardly next to her, the other nobles at the table began to compliment me on my beauty.

Then, after about half an hour of conversing, a topic had been brought up that I was also beginning to question.

"When is the empress coming? Did she forget all about the ball that she herself had set up?"

"Well, that is a very empress thing of her to do. Remember when she planned her very own birthday party but never showed up to it?"

"Yeah, that was pretty funny,"

"Um, may I ask how she is the empress then? This may seem rude be she doesn't seem very ruler like from your descriptions of her," One of the male elves at the table said, and surprisingly, nobody was insulted.

Is the current empress a pushover?

"She may sound clumsy and incompetent from our descriptions, but I swear she's a beautiful and strong woman fit for being the emperor. She was even able to befriend the sun dragon within a few days which is absolutely unheard of,"

"Yeah, she's just a bit clumsy when it comes to social gatherings, but we're used to it. She becomes the center of attention either way," Ysal added.

Suddenly, the large doors to the ballroom swung open and a few trumpets had been sounded.

Exactly ten knights entered the room and they all stood tall and powerful while making way for a woman with a long gold dress, gold hair, bright gold eyes, flawless white skin, and a large vertical sun-like crown on the top of her head.

She didn't look at anybody but Ysal as she entered and Ysal just gave her a little smirk before she walked to the center of the room.

"Hello everybody. Please pay no mind to me and continue with the ball. I was just a bit late because I had to take care of a few issues, but now that all of it is settled, I can enjoy the party with you," She said with such a bright smile that everybody looked as if they were about to faint.

"Hey, isn't our empress such a warm being- hey, look at her. What are you doing staring at the knights?" Ysal asked.

"I can beat their asses," I muttered and Ysal just stopped stroking my hair and flicked the back of my head.

"Ow… What the fu-"

"Shh, shh… The empress is coming over here first," Ysal said as she placed her finger over my mouth and I reluctantly shut up before placing my elbow on the table and supporting my head with my hand.

This is boring… The empress is hot, yeah, but it's not like I'm going to be able to meet her directly.

I bet she's even figured out I'm a siren… Well, Ysal, what are you going to do now?

"It is nice to meet you your imperial highness," All of the nobles and elves at the table said but I was lost in my own thoughts so Ysal just flicked the back of my head, awakening me and I soon noticed the empress was staring at me.

"Quite the strange girl you have here," The empress said and Ysal looked as if she was about to roll her eyes, but kept a smile plastered on her face.

'It's obvious they know each other the way they're so relaxed around each other. The others are practically stiffer than a tree trunk… well except for you but you're an exception,' My inner demon said and I just shifted my eyes back and forth from the empress to Ysal.

The nobles continued to praise the empress for her beauty and strength and how much she's accomplished, but she seemed to not be able to absorb these praises since she kept a fake smile that I think only me and Ysal were able to notice.

Eventually, I was fed up and silently slipped my way out of the table to the balcony where I met my target.

I could kill her now… Or I could let Ysal take of it.

Killing her and bringing back her fresh corpse would be sure to convince the succubus queen and if I let Ysal just take her out of the news and maybe fake her death… then she'll still have some suspicion.

"Oh my, we sure do have a lot of things in common," The woman said before chuckling to herself a bit and I matched her chuckle in order to try and grow a bit closer to her.

Well… I still have plenty of more time to decide and it's not like this will be the last time that I see her… hopefully.

"Alright, it seems my Mistress wants me to come back so I have to head off. Maybe I'll stop by your residence when I have some free time," I said before waving the woman goodbye while keeping the fake smile plastered on my face.

Eventually, I followed Ysal out of the ballroom and I assumed we were going home, but we suddenly took a sharp right from the exit.

"Huh? Where are we going?" I asked.

"To chat with the empress privately," She said and for a few minutes, we maneuvered through the long and winding palace halls.

It took a while, but eventually, we reached the top where the empress was completely drunk.

"Geez, Samantha, you can't keep doing this," Ysal said as she helped the empress to her massive bed which looked like it could fit a dozen people.

"Those damn bastards can go fuck themselves. I'm doing all the work while they're here preparing for your stu-"

Suddenly, Ysal covered her mouth, preventing her from saying any more.
