Making Olivia Mine
'I should control myself,' I thought as I woke up from a deep slumber. I remembered what I had done yesterday out of hunger and frustration. I had frightened them, perhaps even traumatizing them for life.
"Well, now what's done is done," I said as I got up from my bed. Today is the day I am going to the Royal family's inspection camp. I hope that I will find Olivia there.
...
"Looking good," I said as I examined my reflection in the mirror. I was wearing a black shirt with black pants, showcasing my muscular physique, jet-black hair, and eyes. I appeared even more attractive.
"I am becoming more narcissistic day by day, but why not? I look a hundred times better than my original self," I remarked as I once again took a glance at myself.
"It's time to go," I declared as I exited the room.

"So, this is the camp," I thought as I surveyed the inspection site. I felt a twinge of disappointment at the condition of the camp. They were only providing food and water, with just one tent available for inspecting individuals. Others had to wait outside the tent under the scorching sunlight.
"Well, this is how poor and weak people are treated in this world," I pondered as I made my way towards the camp, followed by Atlas and Aureus.
As I approached the tent, standing a meter away, I gestured for Atlas to take charge of the situation.
"This sunlight... there are no trees around," I mused, feeling the intense heat on my skin. Soon, Atlas returned with another person, who appeared to be in charge of the camp. He looked at me and bowed, saying, "Welcome, Third Lord. May I know the reason for your visit?"
"I happened to be nearby and was interested in this. Am I not welcome here?" I replied with a serious tone.
"No, Third Lord, it's not like that. It's your state, and you can go and do whatever you wish. Why don't you come inside the tent?" he responded, his expression filled with fear.
'It would be difficult to bring Olivia inside the tent without revealing her abilities,' I thought to myself. So, I said, "No, just provide me with a chair."
"As you wish," he replied before making his exit. Atlas and Aureus looked at me with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. I made them endure the blazing sun as well. The man quickly arranged a luxurious-looking chair and brought it over. I sat on the chair, with Atlas and Aureus standing on either side.
I manipulated dark energy to form an umbrella-like structure around me, Atlas, and Aureus. This action startled them at first, causing them to take a step back. However, upon realizing that I had initiated it, they returned to their previous positions.
...
"Roger Caller," the name was announced, and a boy of around 13 years old made his way towards the tent.
'This is the 15th person. Where is she?' I wondered, closing my eyes momentarily. Since I didn't know how she looked, I decided to rest my eyes for a while.
...
"Olivia Minden," another name was announced, and it immediately snapped me out of my stupor. I hastily opened my eyes, eagerly searching for her amidst the crowd. I scanned the surroundings, but no one seemed to be moving towards the tent.
"Olivia Minden," the announcer repeated, and this time a voice shouted, "Yes!" My attention turned in that direction, and I saw a girl of around 15 years old. She had olive hair with olive eyes, but her appearance was disheveled and covered in dust. She looked unwell. As I observed her, I couldn't help but find her current state repulsive, but I knew I had to acquire her before she could enter the tent. Determined, I rose from my seat and swiftly approached her.
'I have to say it,' I thought, already having planned my approach. I intended to ordered her to become my personal maid, but given her current condition, it seemed challenging. 'I have to do it,' I reinforced my resolve and moved toward her at a brisk pace.
When she was about a meter away from the tent, I announced loudly, "Olivia Minden, from today onward you are going to be the personal maid of Asher Blackthorn, The Third Lord of the Blackthorn family." My declaration captured everyone's attention. When she turned around, our eyes locked onto each other. I offered her a warm smile, but she appeared fearful.
Everyone around us regarded me with bewildered gazes, some likely wondering why I would desire someone in such a wretched state. Even Atlas and Aureus had a similar expression. Unable to bear the strange stares, and sensing Olivia's frozen state, I commanded Atlas, "Get her," pointing toward Olivia. She took a step back, but before she could flee, Atlas swiftly caught her, lifting her and placing her on his shoulder.
"Let's go. Our work here is finished," I stated as I turned towards my carriage.

"Please wash her, provide her with a maid uniform, and ensure she is given something to eat," I ordered, handing Olivia over to the head maid. The head maid glanced at me with a disapproving expression but complied with my instructions nevertheless.
"After everything is taken care of, send her to my room," I instructed her.
...
Knock.. knock...
I heard a soft knock on the door. "Come in," I said, shifting my gaze towards the entrance. The head maid entered, accompanied by a stunningly beautiful maid. I wondered if she was a new addition, as I hadn't seen such a gloriously beautiful maid in the palace before. The head maid bowed and silently left the room, which irritated me. I had specifically requested Olivia Minden, not some random beautiful maid. Frustrated, I looked at the maid and harshly asked, "What are you doing here? Go and fetch Olivia Minden," my voice filled with anger, causing her to tremble.
Realizing I had let my temper get the best of me once again, I composed myself and spoke more softly, "go and send Olivia Minden." However, she remained rooted to the spot, not moving an inch. As I was about to repeat myself, I heard a whisper that made me pause, "I am Olivia Minden." It was inconceivable to me that she could be Olivia, given her appearance.
"Are you?" I asked, seeking confirmation, to which she nodded in response. I took a moment to process what I had just heard, staring at her face in disbelief, which caused her to lower her head.
'For now, let's put that aside. I need to make her mine first' I thought to myself as I walked towards the door and locked it. When I turned around, I saw Olivia trembling. As I approached her, she instinctively took a step back. I retrieved the bracelets from my pocket. I knew how to use these bracelets. To manipulate someone, we needed to place the bracelet on the person and add a drop of their blood. This will send them in a transcendental state, during which their mind and thoughts could be influenced.
Taking another step towards her, I grabbed her wrist and pressed my fingernail into her skin, causing her to let out a slight scream. She closed her eyes in response.
'Why do I feel like a rapist or a villain here? I'm merely collecting a small drop of blood, just like when we give blood for medical tests' I pondered, observing her expression. She seemed terrified, as if she were about to be sacrificed.
As I placed the bracelet on Olivia's wrist, it connected with her blood and was absorbed into her body. She stood still, now in a transcendental state with a calm expression, unlike before. I had already prepared some statements to manipulate her according to my needs.
"You are ruthless, and you can kill anyone except Asher Blackthorn," I said, as I needed someone who was willing to do anything.
"You are confident and not afraid of anyone except Asher Blackthorn," I continued, as I needed someone with unwavering confidence.
"You will follow every order of Asher Blackthorn," I added, wanting her to obey my every command.
"You will utilize your abilities to the fullest," I declared, hoping she would utilize her full potential.
"And lastly, you love Asher Blackthorn and can give your life for him," I finished, wanting her to be loyal to me and me alone.
As I finished my final statement, I took a step back, unsure of the outcome. Olivia remained still for a moment, but when she opened her eyes, her entire demeanor had changed. Her body language, eyes, and aura were different. She took an elegant step forward and looked at me with eyes full of love.
"My love," she said, wrapping her arms around me and hugging me. Her elegance and confidence left me speechless, and her charm made it difficult to control myself.
"Keep your distance," I ordered her, fearing that I might lose control. She complied with a sad expression.
'So this is power of that bracelet. I have another one. I will use it later on someone worthy Olivia had become a different person altogether, and I was pleased to have her on my team. Creating a powerful army would no longer be a problem.' I thought.
This marked the beginning of an army that would conquer not only this world but perhaps even the entire universe.
