The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

-- POV Freya --

"What do you plan to do when you get out ?"

I wanted to know in a little more detail about their future plans to see if it was possible to get them to join me.

"We all wanted to leave for Syn Forest since the creatures there are less dangerous than anywhere else. We wanted to live there in peace away from the humans. As for me, I was captured only a few days ago."

"It's the same for me. I was traveling in the direction of the forest with Triss and Lia and on the outskirts of the city we were kidnapped."

The elf had stepped forward to tell what had happened to him while accompanied by these two half-humans (a rabbit and a cat).

*Oh he is level 0 ? I didn't even know it was possible !*

[According to Gaya it is when the individual has not yet felt the mana in the air. He is of the wood element I think so when he gets to level 1, his personal attack and defense skill will reveal itself. Logically Shiro should be at that stage too].

*Oh but it's true I never inspected Shiro's status! Thanks to the system, I can see the element they resonate with the most before they even know it themselves. But why can't I see anything about Yorr ?*

[Because he has no affinity with the elements, I'd say he's more of a warrior type than a mage type. You can become a warrior even if you are already a mage, like you for example, although using you as an example is not necessarily representative. But the opposite is not possible, if you don't have an affinity with the elements you can't do anything about it].

*Mmh I see...I hope Shiro is a mage..*

[I wonder what Shiro's element is.]

*Me too ! We'll see !*

Yorr and Elyon were standing there waiting for me to speak but I had to make my announcement in front of everyone, not just those in the room.

"Let's join the others I have something important to say !"

While Elyon and Yorr carried the two unconscious women, I led the way down the hallway to where all the other former slaves were waiting for us. They looked slightly terrified at the screams that had come out of the room a short while ago, but said nothing because deep down they were happy to have heard him suffer.

"Mom, are you done ?"

Shiro walked up to me as her little voice asked me a question. She was not afraid like the other children and seemed even braver than some women much older than her.

Taking her in my arms gently and caressing her head I said.

"Yes I'm done but I have to do something, will you wait a little longer before we go back to Gaya ?"

"Umu ! I'll wait !"

My daughter was so understanding it was scary. I set her down on the floor to turn to the hundred or so former slaves who were waiting with interest for my words. They were wondering what a powerful being like me could possibly have to offer them.

"All of you here! Would you be willing to live in the Kingdom I am about to build? Free of all evil humans, where beasts, half-humans, beast-men and other races can live in safety and protection. A place where no child, woman or man will have to be beaten or die without having known the happiness of being alive."

My passive "commander" skill had activated and I could hear my voice take on a solemn, commanding tone, full of determination and confidence. The eyes of those in the hallway lit up wondering if such a utopia was possible in this world.

"My name is Freya and I will be the Empress of this Kingdom. You are all free to accept or refuse. I will create a place full of life where nothing and no one can reach us! Agree to become my subordinates and I swear to protect you all so that you can live, laugh, dance and sing until you die of old age. Follow me and I promise you happiness..."

I hadn't even finished my sentence that all 100 former slaves were kneeling before me bowing their heads in agreement as they shouted in unison.

"WE WILL FOLLOW YOU AND WE SWEAR ALLEGIANCE HERE AND NOW TO HER HIGHNESS THE EMPRESS !"

Even the children had knelt down and spoken these words easily understanding that I would allow them to live happily.

-- PING --

[Congratulations! You have obtained your first 100 citizens/subordinates, the Kingdom menu is now available in your status ]

[ Please move to the place you want to set as a Kingdom ]

[ You now have +50 attribute points ]

I stood before them and had begun my work to build my own Kingdom...all I needed was the location.

"Get up, we have a lot to do. Yorr, Elyon I am going to ask you to stay in the Syn forest until I come to get you !"

Yorr didn't understand and neither did Elyon so I explained to them what was going on in the Dark Forest and my idea to go build my Kingdom there. Yorr didn't understand and thought it was too dangerous.

"Your Highness, are you really going to go there alone ? The humans who capture our kind are numerous and at least B rank and maybe even A rank I..."

"You all chose to follow me so trust and follow my orders. You all need not worry because if I follow the human terms you could say I am S rank."

[You are actually more powerful than a human S-rank because of the systems and attribute points that make you rise very quickly].

Everyone looked at me with shock and couldn't believe they had met a being like me. Among the half-humans or any other race it was difficult to find any strong enough to compete with humans. Most of them were slaves or ran away with their lives, which prevented leveling.

"Either way we need to get out of here, we'll go through the back of the mansion so you can escape to the forest. The town must be in an uproar because I had to set fire to a few stores before coming here to hide the massacre at the mansion. Once outside you will follow your original plan and settle in temporarily while I clear the Dark Forest of humans. Any objections ?"

The adults answered no as I took Shiro in my arms to walk down the stairs. Children, women, the wounded, and men were all helping each other out of this place that had almost become their graves. There was no one left in the mansion so we managed to move quickly and finally reached the back of the mansion where a stone wall blocked the access to the outside of the city.

Putting Shiro down once again who had tired eyes as she yawned, I stroked her head again to encourage her.

"Shiro, we'll go back to the inn soon to find Gaya, just wait a little longer and you can sleep soon."

She nodded her head even though she was tired as the others looked at us with a slight shock on their faces when they saw how I treated my daughter despite the personality I had.

*Kira, let's break down the wall so they can all get out of here quickly, it's taking way too long here !*

[Yes, let's go !]

I didn't want to reveal my wolf form right away because I was waiting to have my Kingdom to show my true form to all my subordinates, so I opted for ice. Dozens of ice spikes appeared at my side as everyone backed away to safety. They flew at the wall while I watched the scene calmly and impassively as usual.

A succession of thuds could be heard in the stillness of the night as in the moonlight a band of slaves tried to flee led by a special she-wolf.

The wall had given way easily, leaving a gaping hole in its place overlooking the outside of the city and the Syn forest.

"Good ! Go on through !"

With a smile on their faces, the half-humans, beastmen, and other now-free races moved forward one after the other eagerly. Yorr stood to my left and Elyon to my right waiting for my instructions.

"Yorr, Elyon !"

"Yes your highness ?"

"In the forest there is a large mountain to the west, keep going straight and you should find it easily. This mountain still has a large amount of mana scattered in the air, if you can find the cave and enter it you will be safe from the beasts of the forest at least until I come to get you. I can't take you with me, it's too dangerous right now and you have to take care of the weak ones."

"We understand your highness !"

"I want you two to look after the others until I arrive. If it's possible get everyone to practice a little each day so you can defend yourselves more easily. It shouldn't be long before I come back so don't die. And you Elyon once in the mountain try to feel the mana around you, you will eventually find your affinity and develop your attack and defense skill I'm counting on you !"

"Yes your highness !"

I had named the two leaders of this group of 100, hoping that nothing untoward would happen before I came to pick them up to move into the Dark Forest.

Approaching the group without crossing the destroyed wall, I raised my head to look at all those faces filled with adoration and respect.

"I wish you all good luck, we will meet again soon and then the utopia I proposed will be real. Wait a little, be strong and remember only you can decide your life !"

They all knelt before me once more before leaving in the direction of the forest as I saw their silhouettes disappear into the dark.

Shiro had fallen asleep on the cold night grass while I talked with the minotaur and the elf. She was so cute with her bright white hair resonating with the moonlight that I almost didn't want to touch her. She looked like a little princess from a fairy tale.

Picking up the katana I had taken from the lord and taking her in my arms without waking her up, I started to run across the property to reach her entrance. No one was aware of the slaughter that had occurred and that all the slaves in this small town had escaped. Shouts could be heard in the streets where I had set the stores on fire before coming, people were scrambling and everyone was trying to find a way to put out the flames.

[You were right to do that apparently.]

*Obviously, it would have been too complicated to kill the whole town without putting myself in danger. Gaya or Shiro might even have been involved too seriously.*

Walking down the street as if nothing had happened, I made my way to the inn and my room where Gaya was waiting for us. When I opened the door a small dragon of one meter flew right into my face with an annoyed look.

"Where have you been ? The city is abuzz and you weren't here ! Wait...sniff...sniff...you smell like blood, what happened ?"

I then began to tell Gaya what had happened as we left the inn: the kidnapping, the diversionary fires, the massacre at the mansion, the subordinates and their escape.

As I finished my tale, she casually threw herself on top of Shiro asleep on the bed to see if she had any injuries before speaking.

"You could have been careful ! What if Shiro had come back hurt or worse ?"

I had nothing to answer because she was totally right.

*Is that what it's like to be yelled at by a woman ? Well, it's not pleasant, kufufu ~*

While I was letting down the pressure after that crazy night, Gaya approached me to tell me with a smile a good news.

"Freya ! I didn't tell you but...I could finally take my humanoid form once the night is over !"
