247 Chapter 247: Elaine's True Self

While Elif, Goliath, and Birger were walking the palace's halls, talking about women and using much more vulgar language than usual, things were beginning to escalate within Elaine's rooms as Elaine finally showed her true face.

Successfully shooing Brother away, I ordered Maxim to wait outside before closing and locking the door by activating a formation, which isolated my room from the rest of the OverRealm, temporarily making it a separate dimension.

"Hmm, where are Birger and Goliath, Princess Elaine?" Asked Shelia curiously while sitting down as she, Echo, Sarah, and Eyvor looked at Elaine, who had her back facing them.

"They're busy." Replied Elaine, though no longer was her voice happy and soft; instead, it was indifferent while traces of killing intent laced her words, causing everyone to frown slightly.

"Is something the matter, Your Highness?" Asked Idonea carefully as she stood up and approached Elaine while Illumia, Nerthus, and Marley all backed away, feeling as if something was wrong.

"Your Highness is everything al-argh!" Added Idonea as she gently placed her hand atop Elaine's shoulder, but just before she could, Elaine grabbed her wrist and twisted her arm.

"Don't touch me with your filthy hands, you whore, Idonea." Stated Elaine angrily as she squeezed Idonea's wrist, causing her to kneel in pain while holding her arm.

"I-I'm a-apologize, Y-Your Highness." Said Idonea respectfully despite the intense pain as she bit her lip and kept her head down in silence while everyone watching was taken aback.

"W-What's Princess Elaine doing?" Asked Echo with a slight frown as she looked at Elaine, though she didn't intervene as it was a matter between master and servant, something she had no right to get involved with.

"S-She's punishing her, but this seems like an unnecessarily heavy punishment for merely touching her; I wouldn't be surprised if it were a demon doing this; no offense, Echo, but an Elf? I've seen Prince Elif furious before, but the circumstance was different." Remarked Eyvor with a deep frown as she gave Echo a faint smile before focusing on Elaine, only to hear a sickening crunch.

Gripping Idone's arm, I squeezed it with all my might, crushing her arm, and despite how much I wished to kill her, I had to give her props; she didn't make so much as a noise; still, that wasn't going to save her.

"T-Thank you, P-Princess Ela-" Said Idonea respectfully when she felt Elaine finally release her hand, though she couldn't finish speaking as a hand tightly wrapped itself around her throat before lifting her into the air.

"Speak another word, and I'll rip your breasts off." Declared Elaine with a furious expression as she glared at Idonea in her hand before chucking her at Marley, who was too surprised to react in time.

"I think it would be best to speak with Prince Elif before personally punishing his servants on his behalf, Princess Elaine." Said Eyvor softly, oblivious to the signals Illumia was giving her as suddenly, a curved black blade appeared before her neck.

"Utter Brother's name from your disgusting mouth again, and I'll kill you, Eyvor." Said Elaine, standing behind Eyvor while holding Orcus in her hand as she pressed her scythe against Eyvor's neck, petrifying her.

Seeing Eyvor just sit there without moving, I lightly smiled and brought Orcus away before walking out from behind her, only to see her terrified expression while everyone else, except Queen Nerthus and Illumia, were warily eyeing me.

"I think it's time I properly introduce ourselves to everyone; only Illumia here knows the real me." Declared Elaine with a slightly crazed expression as she tossed Orcus onto her bed before glancing at Illumia and Mandy, with the latter helping Marley and Idonea to stand.

"I'm Crown Princess Elaine August, and future wife to Crown Prince Elif August." Added Elaine slightly before her expression morphed into one of pure obsession while her eyes took on a dangerous look when speaking about Elif, causing everyone else to recoil.

"Of course, we already knew that, Princess Elaine." Said Echo as she looked at Elaine while making sure to choose her words carefully lest she wind up in Eyvor's situation.

Snapping my head toward Echo, I couldn't help but laugh at her foolish words.

"Hahahaha! Did you know that?" Asked Elaine with a crazy laugh before eyeing Echo while her eyes were slowly being corrupted with madness that everyone could discern.

Seeing them all nod at my question, I laughed once more before hopping off my bed and landing beside Shelia, who subtly flinched at my sudden movements.

"No need to worry, Shelia; you and Echo are safe for now. However, I can't say the same for everyone else since it seems like no one here knows that I'm Brother's wife. So allow me to force it into your souls." Stated Elaine with a psychotic expression as she stared deeply into Shelia's eyes before looking away and glancing at Sarah, Eyvor, Suscila, Nerthus, Illumia, Mandy, Marley, and Idonea.

"I'll be nice and give you all a warning: Brother is mine, and mine alone. So from now on, make sure to keep your distance from him, and if you don't want to, I'll capture you and make you experience the worst forms of torture in existence until you cease to exist." Declared Elaine lightly as she looked at everyone, keeping her eyes focused on Illumia, Mandy, Marley, and Idonea since they'd been the most intimate with Elif.

"I don't mean to be rude, Princess Elaine, but are you threatening us?" Asked Nerthus with an intense frown as she eyed Elaine, speaking before Suscila could even get a chance to open her mouth.

Eyeing Nerthus, I tapped the ground with my foot while injecting Qi into it, activating another formation that caused everyone who wasn't a Royal Elf and had a cultivation base of a True God Emperor base or lower to be significantly weakened to that of a mere mortal.

With Nerthus now as powerless as possible, I vanished into the void before appearing directly in front of her and kicking her to the ground; standing atop her body, I rested Orcus right against her cheek.

"I'm not threatening you, Nerthus; I'm merely telling you what's going to happen; as a matter of fact, if we weren't in the Empire, I'd kill you this instant, and the same goes for the rest of you. However, I'm rather unlucky." Remarked Elaine calmly as she eyed Nerthus, who was fiercely glaring back at her, before turning around and looking at everyone, who attempted to summon artifacts from their dimensions ring, but it was impossible without any Qi.

Knowing I'd probably not get another chance like this now that I've exposed my true self, I levitated Orcus into the air before straddling Nerthus and punching her in the face. Yet one punch wasn't enough to satisfy me; I wanted these whores and sluts to understand that they couldn't touch Brother, not to mention it was so fun.

"HaHahA, only I can be fed by, Brother!" Yelled Elaine with a crazed expression as she erupted into maniacal laughter, pummeling Nerthus and causing her face to bleed while it slowly broke from the relentless assault from Elaine.

Sensing the life start fading away from Nerthus, I stopped assaulting her and stared at her as she gasped for breath; I knew I shouldn't kill her, but I couldn't help myself. Brother actually fed this old tree; I should be the only one fed by Brother, me! No one else!

'Hehe, killing you would be so much easier, one less woman to worry about.' Thought Elaine as she kept everyone at bay with her Qi before reaching down and wrapping her hands around Nerthus's neck, strangling her with an ecstatic expression.

"S-Stop, y-you'll m-make a big mistake, k-killing me here!" Said Nerthus quietly as she grabbed Elaine's arm, trying to free herself, but with her current strength, she was no stronger than a mortal who had never touched a cultivation manual.

Grinning, I pressed even harder; I couldn't be happier by the fact I was killing one of my enemies, yet just before I could strangle her to death, I felt a powerful Qi immobilize me.

'This Qi?' Thought Elaine in confusion before widening her eyes with a livid expression as she expanded her divine sense, only to see Illumia standing beside her.

"ILLUMIA!" Roared Elaine furiously as she tried escaping, but with Illumia pressuring her, her attempts were all for naught.

"I'm sorry, your Highness, but I can't have you killing anyone." Said Illumia softly as she waved her hand, causing Elaine to be sent to her bed while everyone watching sighed in relief.

"RELEASE ME THIS INSTANT, ILLUMIA! THAT'S A ROYAL DECREE!" Ordered Elaine with madness as she eyed Illumia, who summoned a pill from her dimension ring before placing it in Nerhtus's mouth.

"I must refuse, your Highness; I have orders from their Majesties." Replied Illumia with a deep bow while tapping her foot, causing the formation to disappear as everyone got their cultivation back.

'What!? Orders from Mother and Father!?' Exclaimed Elaine with widened eyes before she clenched her fists in anger while eyeing Nerthus, who was glaring at her.

'Why? I was so close to killing her, and I could've killed everyone else; then I would've had Brother to myself! So why!? Wait! Don't tell me Mother wants Brother as well? Will I need to kill my own Mother?' Thought Elaine as she experienced several different emotions before finally squinting her eyes and hardening her expression while a dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.
