"I agree, but you have to promise me something." Princess Elwha said.

Bloed nodded. "What is it?"

"Promise me that you will always be the ally of the elves."

Bloed was startled. But when he looked at the elf princess's eyes, he saw a gaze full of seriousness.

At the end of the day, Elwha was the princess of the Boerner Elves. Even if she liked and perhaps loved Bloed, she was taught to always think about what the best for the elves was.

One of the reasons she agreed to Bloed's proposal was that she loved him. But it was not her only reason. After spending a pair of months in Machine Revolutio, she could see the potential of this group. Regina was an extremely powerful Demigod; and Bloed, Liu Ying, and Eres had the potential to reach that level eventually. Forging a good relationship with them would be great for the elves.

If one day, Bloed and the others became Apotheosis Demigods, then this small favor of today would become extremely valuable.

Bloed understood Elwha's goal after hearing her condition. He then heaved a sigh before nodding.

"Okay, I promise you. As long as the elves don't make me their enemy, I will always be their ally." He promised her.

Princess Elwha's expression brightened. And in the next second, the elf princess threw herself to him, pushing him on the bed.

Bloed was stupified. Before he could understand what was happening, the princess kissed his lips fiercely.

She then separated her lips from him and looked at him with a passionate expression.

Instinctively, Bloed caressed her hair as the princess's flushed face was centimeters away from his.

Then, the two of them kissed again.

Bloed felt his rationality disappearing. Soon, the two of them were rolling on the bed, kissing and caressing each other crazily.

Feeling the soft skin of the princess and the sweet fragrance of her hair, Bloed became spellbound. He could not help but kiss her neck impulsively, making the elf princess gasp and moan softly.

Then, the princess looked at him with moist eyes, and Bloed realized once more how beautiful she was.

But when they were about to take the next step, and after both of them had removed part of their clothes, a soft knock came from the door.

Then, an ice-cold voice made Bloed and Elwha's bodies freeze completely.

"Master, did you finish talking to Miss Elwha?"

The pair froze. Like a pair of startled rabbits, they jumped from the bed and put their clothes back, then, the pair looked at each other with helpless expressions.

With a bit of hesitation and fear on her face, the elf princess went to open the door looking like a prisoner about to be executed.

When she opened the door, she saw Regina's cold face and Liu Ying's smiling eyes looking at her with scary expressions.

Elwha's body involuntarily quivered.

"… M-Miss R-Regina, L-Liu Ying, w-what are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" Liu Ying's smile became wider, and Regina's chilling gaze moved from the elf princess to Bloed.

"Master, do you have anything to say?"

Bloed smiled bitterly and raised his hands as though giving up.

Regina narrowed her eyes, making even Liu Ying's become slightly stiff. In the end, the Valkyrie just sighed.

"I had a bad feeling, so I extended my senses throughout the tower only to see a certain thieving elf putting her hands on my master. Sigh, and I thought that I should not worry about her. As expected, I should not underestimate my master's charms."

Bloed did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

Seeing that, Regina sighed again and Liu Ying shook her head before entering the room with Regina and closing the door behind them. Then, the demon princess looked at Bloed and Princess Elwha coldly.

"Sit down. We need to talk."

…

Despite Bloed's guilt and Princess Elwha's fear of being killed by Regina, the discussion ended without any trouble.

In the end, Regina was a Valkyrie programmed to put Bloed above everything else. Even if she felt uncomfortable about Bloed getting a new girlfriend, she did not mind it as long as it was what Bloed wanted.

As for Liu Ying, she was only angry on the surface. Polygamy was not uncommon in this world after all; plus, she had been in the same situation as Princess Elwha before. Thinking about how Regina accepted her, she could not bring herself to be too harsh on Elwha.

Plus, she already expected something like this to happen. Though in her mind, the ones attacking Bloed were Aya or Gina, nor Elwha.

However, there was a small problem.

"You are a Princess, Elwha. I don't think that your people will be happy about you getting in a relationship with a human."

Princess Elwha was startled before putting on a complicated expression.

She had not thought that far yet.

"You don't need to worry about it." Bloed smiled softly at her. "We will find a way to resolve it when the time comes."

Princess Elwha smiled at him and nodded.

At that moment, Regina looked at Bloed with a serious expression.

"Master, can you leave for a moment? There is something that I need to tell Elwha that you can't hear."

Bloed hesitated before nodding. "I understand, please don't be too harsh on her."

"I won't."

Princess Elwha was a bit nervous and wanted to say something, but when she felt Regina's cold gaze, she swallowed her words back and straightened her back like a child about to be punished.

As soon as Bloed left the room, Regina's presence changed completely.

In an instant, it was as though a frigid wind filled the room, making Princess Elwha turn pale. Even Liu Ying, who was not feeling Regina's aura directly, shivered in fear.

Then, Regina's golden eyes stared at the elf princess steely.

"I don't mind accepting other women besides my master, as long as they truly love him. However, if I learn that you are only trying to use him, or if one day you dare betray him.

I swear I'll personally tear your heart out of your chest.
