Winds of Freedom: Akashic, the bookworm

========Selene's Pov=========

*Chirp *Chirp

"Selene-sama, woke up." I can hear a beautiful voice in my ears.

I opened my eyes.

"Good Morning, Alice." I greeted Alice.

"Good Morning. Looks like you were having a hard time in these days." She said surprisingly calm voice.

She is normally a playful type of person. But today, she is a bit calm.

"Well, I had to attend so many meetings and have to talk with a lot of people. Had to go various places. I am totally tired. I have never thought I would have to work this hard." I replied calmly.

"Well, good work Empress." She laughed.

"Don't laugh at me. By the way, you're somehow calm today." I said to her.

"Because I have something to inform you." She said with a serious face.

"What is it?" I asked her while sensing danger.

"Do you remember the money you gave me, yesterday?" she said to me.

"Yeah. If I am not wrong it's because you said that we need some kind of utensils." I replied.

"Yeah. I am sorry to say that I have lost them." She said with sad look.

She lost it? Were she this much of a careless?

After the war, Alice took the maid head position within the castle. I was surprised by her abilities, but she is really good at making foods and other stuff. You can just say that the food she makes is so rich that I can't helped but to eat again and again. She is like a world famous master chef.

Tara took my official Secretary position. I do think she is really good at it.

"How did that happened?" I asked her with a serious face.

"I went to the market at night. My objective was to buy some rich utensils. On my way, I saw a casino like place and strange enough before I knew it, my money was all gone." She said with a serious expression.

*BAM

I punched her in rage and yelled, "That's because you gambled it, you fool. How many times I have said you not to gamble?"

"I-I can guarantee that someone was controlling me. He must have used hypnosis magic, damn it you thief." She said with a frustrated face.

"Okay, stop your nonsense. I have works to do." I told her to stop.

"My lord, I am really sorry." She bowed.

"It's okay. Just make a cup of coffee for me." I told her.

"Selene-sama, now that I have lost all the money. I need money for gam..*Ahem I mean, for utensils." she said in a suspicious way.

"I don't think I can believe you. I will tell someone else to do it. You may go and make some coffee for me." I told her.

"Damn it. What kind of life I am having right now. I have gave my body to her and she can't even entrust me with some money. Love is really hard. Even though after that, I can't bring myself to hate her." She said it in a dramatic way.

"I am thinking of hiring a person as my personal maid. I have appointed an annoying person as a head maid." I muttered.

"I-I am going. I will bring the coffee as you wished. Please anything but that." She left the room with teary eyes. Well, I know that it's all acting.

I looked at the mirror. I can see my face in it. It's kinda strange. Even one week ago there was another person who looked at that mirror. But now it's belongs to me.

A lot of things changed within these days. I executed a lot of people. Took life of a lot of scums. With this, I got a lot of points too.

People started thinking me as a true Goddess though. Well, I told them not to call it. So, people of the Samatot city started calling me as empress.

After conquering the city, the main problem we faced was we don't know much about how to handle the city. So, I summoned a new person called Akashic. I searched into the database of my divine program. I wanted someone who is really good at managing. Like who would become a prime minister and handle the city or empire on my instead. So, he was one of the best choice for me.

*Knock *Knock

"Who?"

I heard someone was knocking my door. So, I asked who is it.

"It's me, Serene-sama." I heard a gentle voice.

"Come in. It's open."

I said while focusing on the mirror.

Akashic opened the door and came inside.

Akashic is a young man in his early twenties, known for his striking appearance. He possesses a head of vibrant pink hair that adds a touch of uniqueness to his overall look. With his intelligent and bookish demeanor, he is often seen with a grimoire, a book of powerful knowledge, firmly grasped in his hand. The well-worn pages and intricate symbols on the cover hint at the depth of his wisdom.

Akashic's love for books and thirst for knowledge make him a true bookworm. His exceptional intelligence sets him apart, as he effortlessly absorbs information and delves into various subjects. His sharp mind enables him to excel in managing complex tasks, making him a reliable problem solver in any situation.

Beyond his intellectual prowess, Akashic possesses a kind and gentle nature that attracts others to him. His handsome features, combined with a warm smile, make him an embodiment of the ikemen archetype. People find solace in his presence, as he is always willing to listen and offer assistance.

In terms of attire, Akashic adorns a special dress that blends shades of pink, red, and white. The colors harmonize beautifully, accentuating his vibrant hair and creating an aura of elegance around him. The choice of his outfit reflects his individuality and showcases his unique sense of style.

Akashic's true power lies in his mastery of space magic, a formidable ability that allows him to manipulate the very fabric of reality. With this magical prowess, he can bend and warp space to his will, opening gateways, creating barriers, or even teleporting across great distances. His command over this power grants him a remarkable advantage in battles and challenges.
