Playing Cards

I loved looking up at the sky and letting the cold breeze of the mountain blow against me, but doing so was difficult due to my duties. It was my only solace whenever I faced punishment back in the [Overworld] with the Hearths. I often go out at night and feel the cool breeze while I think about different problems in my life since I have peace of mind in a cool winter breeze.

My worries left me as I thought about the realm's affairs with a clear mind and relaxed body. My biggest problem so far was the rulers of my kingdoms. They felt superior to me since I was a succubus, a race known for satisfying people's sexual desires, but I had no care for that and their ignorance would be the death of them. Trisha contacted me about the rulers' responses and their responses were the last straw.

I thought about going there alone but I could not defeat an S-tier individual with the backing of an entire army, so I decided to head out to the Slarius kingdom and use Jacob to call a meeting to forcefully make them pledge allegiance. My order had not been relayed, but I estimated my departure to be two weeks from now, so I had to be patient.

...

"Oscar, the queen has ordered us to prepare for departure. We are to leave in one week and make our way to the Slarius Kingdom with Her Majesty."

I could hear Naomi's loud voice from outside, but I didn't do anything to stop it since Naomi had a beautiful voice, even with her Armaneshian accent. I had personally contacted Jacob and had him prepare a living space for me and my servants during our stay in his kingdom. Things seemed to be going well, but I needn't get ahead of myself since I can't go against multiple S-tier existences, not with my current power.

I had a card in my hand as I played with it before flicking it towards a target across from me. I decided to use the training fields instead of the room since the weather was very calming.

The card flew at immense speeds before lodging itself in the target. The target was made of Eldrum Oak, a very strong wood type that could withstand a punch from an A-tier. My card lodged itself in the wood but just barely before falling out. I was hesitant to flick it as powerfully as I could, but I realized that I was underestimating Eldrum Oak so I didn't hold back the next time.

I teleported to a mountain peak that was over 10 kilometres away from the target before entering a stance and flicking the card with the wind attribute to increase its speed. The moment the card left my hand, I felt my skin open with blood flowing and the cut was from the sheer force that the card generated. I witnessed the card fly faster than the speed of light as it approached the target in a split second.

I put too much power into the card so the castle was going to be destroyed if I did nothing about it, so I teleported once again before appearing in front of it and grabbing it with my tail. Behind me, Naomi and Morgan watched the entire spectacle with wide eyes as the shockwave from the card broke a balcony and shook the castle walls. My hair fluttered and my dress threatened to fly off my body, but I kept it in check as I stood and marvelled at my power.

'Maybe I can beat those bastards'

"Morgan, I want the best blacksmiths you can find to create me the lightest but sharpest decks of playing cards as soon as possible. I want 6 decks of playing cards before we leave or there will be consequences, I will provide the theme of each deck."

I primarily used playing cards as a weapon since it aligned with my interest in throwables. I plan on creating a set of playing cards for each emotion that I experience, with anger being the rarest sing I rarely exhibit anger and when I do, I keep it low-key
