Will of chaos

628 Cap 626: Ellen, my love(Chapter preview)

POV of a psychopath:

I was smoking a blood herb cigar, those are hard to find on this continent, I was very lucky to find some here.

I was enjoying my cigar while enjoying the beautiful view of the night sky, it had been ages since I had seen the stars or these beautiful moons.

"You know, it's been a long time since I've been deprived of many things, it may not seem like it, but I've spent a lot of time trapped in a place where light from these beautiful moons would never reach." (I)

That damn place, if I close my eyes I can still hear the incessant complaints of those mediocre criminals or the insults of the soldiers there.

"D3since I freed myself I tried to enjoy life to the fullest, I did everything I thought of during my imprisonment, I thought it would bring me some happiness..." (I)

I pop the cigar in my mouth, the bloodstains adding an extra flavor to this rarity, then turn to the beautiful woman sitting on the bed behind me, her body still hidden by the darkness of the room.

I smile seeing her sitting like this, then turn to the window I open to get a better view of this beautiful sky.

"You know, I used to talk a lot, but since I was released, I think it's the first time I've talked to another person this much." (I)

I hold the cigar between my fingers as I smile.

"It's really nice to have someone to listen to, I think I can tell you a little bit of my story." (I)

"I think I can tell you a little about her, the love of my life... Ellen..." (I)

"She who is also the one I hate the most in this filthy world!" (I)

Anger takes over my body making me almost destroy this beautiful cigar in my hands.

Sigh

"Thinking of her reminds me of the past... I still remember those wonderful days." (I)

"It all started..." (I)

-----------

It was 850 years ago, I was one of the most influential and strong people in the entire Dark Continent, my base of operations was in the weakest realm near that place full of undead, that place had the perfect environment for my business.

"You bastard, how many times do I have to say that poisons and drugs should be kept in separate places." (I)

"Sir, please sir, I swear I'll do it right next time, you can kill me, but my family, let my family..."

"You idiot, they've been dead for days, but since you were being so competent I let you live, but now I think you can stay with your family, I'm very generous, right?" (I)

"You bastard----"

"Damn, my new pants are now stained with your blood, can't even in death do something right?" (I)

I had a very profitable business in that place, but unfortunately, it had a lot of incompetent employees, it was a headache trying to give the poor people of that place a purpose, but it had its good moments.

In one of those moments was when I met her, a chocolate colored skin that only made her beautiful silver hair more evident, she was a Dhampir with one red eye and the other pink, she was beautiful.

She arrived with a caravan of traders, she led the caravan bringing Human slaves that had not been sold in other cities and Realms.

I was at the capital city gate of that Kingdom getting ready to leave, I remember I was going to have a business meeting, but before going through the city gate to leave I saw her entering right in front of the caravan, the week beauty was magnificent.

I knew I had to meet her, that's why I gave up on the trip I was going to take, that's because the moment she passed me our eyes met and she smiled at me.

I spent the next few weeks visiting her, always bringing her gifts, she quickly opened up to me to find out we had similar businesses.

Like me, she was someone who knew the importance of a stable and profitable financial life, one night after drinking heavily next to her I heard about her past, a daughter of merchants who saw the opportunities her parents missed, the day her parents disappeared she took everything and the business has prospered ever since.

She always demonstrated her intelligence and business skills, I even proposed that we join forces, so we could take care of everything much better, both my business and hers.

Everything was going great, we were happy that day that everything changed, she and I had taken a trip to meet some business partners about something I had in mind, I was carrying my lucky charm, with it I always ended my negotiations with a favorable agreement for both parties.

"Bastard, do you think blackmailing her will work on me!?"

"I'm sure you will." (I)

"What is this glove, take it away from me...aahhhhhhh!!!!!"

"You will do whatever I want you to do." (I)

"I already took care of the spies following him." (Ellen)

"How many mercenaries have we lost?" (I)

"Everyone, I used them as a sacrifice to activate the magic crystal you gave me." (Ellen)

"Excellent work as always dear." (I)

"Aahhhh!!!!"

"How long will this take, it usually only takes a few seconds." (Ellen)

"He's a noble of the Black Empire, it looks like there's something in his body preventing my artifact from messing with his mind, maybe some magic used on his body, but that will only make him suffer longer." (I)

"He should have accepted our first wake up proposal, idiot." (Ellen)

"Yes, he thought he could steal the throne with the help of two enemy Realms, an unprepared idiot." (I)

"If he were smart he would have done the same as me, building his strength little by little and outside the Empire, so they wouldn't notice, I'm sure they'll be surprised when they see most of their nobles under my control... hahahahahaha..." (I)

We were happy, while I finalized an excellent deal, I also hugged the woman who would be my wife one day, we had plans for the future, we would go to the top together, and nothing could stop us.

But then like all dreams, the illusion was shattered and all that was left was emptiness.

"What is... this... my head..." (I)

"Looks like it finally worked, it took longer than I thought." (Ellen)

"Ellen, what... did you... do..." (I)

"You don't need to know, goodbye my conspirator fool..." (Ellen)

"Ellen..." (I)

I remember the disbelief I felt that day, my body was so weak that even with my great power, I was not able to gather strength, my vision and other senses were becoming confused, and speaking and breathing became difficult.

As I sat my conscience slipping away, I could see one last time my Ellen's face smiling coldly at me, her words breaking my heart.

The last thing she said was her name, but for the first time, I spoke that name full of hate and murderous intent, unfortunately, it was useless.
