Angel Monarch

As Sera stepped inside the same thing played out as before. She walked through the building and everyone bowed deeply when she passed them.

Every now and then she heard whispers, some were about her accomplishments, some about her beauty, and some were talking about her allure. She had gotten used to the remarks about her body and what others want to do with it... not like she cared. Continue reading stories on mvl

These actions fell into the same category as most things in her life. Until nobody does anything that could cause issues for her, she had no interest paying attention to it.

While walking she watched the artistic architecture of the building complex. Unlike the outside, the inside was actually tastefully decorated. There was no sign of the brutalist building style, but a more simplistic and a bit more baroque.

Yeah, baroque wasn't simple at all, in fact it was the exact opposite. But since the main dominant color of the inside was gold, and there were a lot of small details everywhere, this was the closest style she could match the interior to.

It was strange. She remembered all these information that she had never learned about. It made her wonder, just what kind of life did she had before Harold took it all away.

While her mind was occupied with these thoughts she arrived in front of a large double door. This was the entrance to the conference room, where a meeting was supposed to start about twenty minutes ago.

Without much care Sera reached out and opened the doors. She looked around the room with her usual empty expression. It was huge, with a lot of screens showing different images on one wall. The middle was taken up by a large table which got illuminated with a light right above it.

The table was an oval shape with six seats in total. Its material was special too, with multiple smaller screens built right into it. There were also a few other items like a fridge full of snacks and refreshments, and a bit of a lounge area in one of the corners.

At the conference table currently five of the six seats were taken. As Sera stepped inside, the door closed automatically behind her. The people at the table were in some conversation, but instantly turned quiet when she arrived.

Three out of the five people stood up and bowed deeply, the other two just stayed seated and snarled a bit at their decorum. Sera made a small nod of acknowledgement and took her seat at the most prominent chair out of the six.

"Good afternoon, Lady Seraphine!" Said the three at the same time. But before Sera could've said anything another person spoke.

"Yeah, good day. Could we begin this meeting already? We have been waiting for your arrival since an hour ago!" The person who spoke was named Hector.

A tall and bulky person with nearly no bodyfat on his herculean body. His face was like carved granite and his hair a close cropped, nice shade of brown. He would've got all the woman if one ignored his dark eyes, which only held anger and cruelty inside. He was a very hot-headed person, with basically no sense of responsibility.

If he wouldn't be a strong ascended, she would've probably killed him already. Luckily for him, Sera felt no emotions and only looked at him with cunning logic. So, instead of getting rid of him, she promoted him into one of her five captains.

"I do agree with Hector. Some of us have better things to do than sit here idling!" The next one to speak was Percy. He wasn't as cruel or dumb as Hector, but still quite a bit annoying.

But unlike Hector, he was much less good-looking. He was tall, but a bit too thin. Also his hair was very strange, he kept it in a black mohawk with purple strips all over it. It's like an advertisement of his personality, it was screaming that he was evil and an asshole.

Sadly, just like Hector he had a purpose to serve as well. As Sera looked into his bewitching purple eyes many weird symbols kept appearing, then disappearing. While he spoke his hand was absorbed in its usual purple energy and he was constantly giving it different forms.

Sometimes he made small animals that fought and killed each other, other times they turned into humans having duels. One the battlefield he used this energy to make a lot of things possible, this is how he got his nickname – Magician.

"What better things? Fucking one of your wives? Aren't they tired of being left unsatisfied?" The one who spoke was Kathy and while Percy was fuming with anger, Hector's booming laughter shook the table.

Currently she wore black skin with short white hair, but that could change anytime. Unlike most people Kathy could change anything on her outside with just a thought. She could also change into other people, which made her a vital asset for Sera.

She was basically her assassin and infiltrator. Her fellow soldiers aptly gave her the nickname Shapeshifter.

While Hector and Percy were horrible human beings, Kathy was mostly mild. She didn't really care for anything and followed every order to the letter. It is quite weird to find someone so loyal in a place like New Athens was before Sera took control of it.

All three of them were part of the leadership under the tyrant's rule, but when Sera talked to them about her plan of getting rid of their leader, they jumped the boat really quickly. They had their reasons probably, but Sera didn't care about it.

Currently all three of them sat on the other side of the oval table. With Hector in the middle, Percy on the right and Kathy on the left. Sera sat in a middle seat as well and on her left and right sat a man and a woman.

The woman had long whitish-blond hair with eyes of different colors, the right one blue, the left one green. Her stature was small but alluring in its own way. These features only appeared on her after she evolved two years ago. Her name was Melinda.

The man on the other side had shoulder length dark brown hair and light hazel eyes. His build wasn't nearly as good as Hector's, pretty average both in height and body mass. His name was Bran.

Both of them, and a large amount of her other soldiers, came from a group Harold showed her. They were survivors of a goblin camp, which by Harold's account, was cleared out by Sera. They were on their way to Flensburg in hopes of safety.

Of course the whole of Flensburg was already destroyed, so instead Harold ordered Sera to use them as an army. It didn't take long to find every evolved in their midst, by letting them kill monsters.

Two people were especially outstanding out of the few hundred. Melinda and Bran were her right and left hands when it came to making decisions. When she left the city for whatever reason, at least one of them had to stay here as temporary governors.

They happily obliged. Whatever Sera had done in the past made these people trust her. It felt strange since both of them knew more about her past then she did. Especially Melinda, she always looked at Sera weirdly, like Sera should remember her from somewhere.

A lots of times when they talked, Melinda would start speaking like they were old friends. She would catch herself immediately and even apologize, but the intent was still there.

For some reason though, Sera didn't care about her past at all. Whoever she was, that makes no difference for her. In the end she still had to follow the orders of the higher ups... mostly Harold's.

Only the really high ranking members knew who the leader of the Federal Alliance was. In reality Sera shouldn't know about it, but she has a lot more interaction with Harold than most.

Remembering those meetings brought phantom pain to appear all over her body. It wasn't great to constantly be experimented upon.

While she was absorbed in her thoughts Kathy and Percy were in an argument, which Bran soon ended.

"Okay, we get it. Percy is an idiot who can't satisfy his woman and Kathy is a whore who only want to satisfy everyone else! Can we move on to the topic of the meeting, since you want to leave so badly?" The room turned silent when Bran spoke. People learnt the hard way what happens when they disobey him.

His strength wasn't even close to Sera's, but for an ascended he was much stronger than the average. Actually, all five of them were really strong in their own right and their fighting experience was quite good as well.

As the silence persisted the five captains looked at Sera to find out the reason for this meeting.

After staying quiet for a while longer Sera finally decided to look at them and for the first time since stepping inside the room, she spoke.

"Report." Was all she said.
