When I woke up this time I saw the two hugging each other like they were best friends.
Overnight their relationship changed, the other liked being in pain, the other liked to inflict pain.
If that's how their friendship goes no need for me to mess it up, well it was convenient, right now I had no plans to do anything to them since I've already changed their courses.
"What to do with Vince."
I was annoyed, if only that brat didn't piss me off yesterday then none of this would have happened well.
I did plan on doing what I said and steal her fiancé, I got out and dressed myself, as soon as I stepped out of the door a maid arrived and gave me a file.
"Thanks."
I read the file, Lucille Mirsa, she's was the daughter of Duke Mirsa, her father controlled the economy of the kingdom of the humans.
Right now she was in Noryata, If I remember Lucille's trope was the unsatisfied fiancé since he was a wastrel.
Lucille wasn't also anything special in the novel, she was the batman of the group, if anything she was their fund manager of the Hero's party.
I got into the carriage prepared for me, I kinda miss talking to the world tree so I'm gonna plant in the Café.
As I watched the streets, there were slaves being sold, the driver knew to slow down as I was watching out for elves, luckily no one was there.
I smiled as we rode on, looks like they're all afraid of enslaving elves in Noryata.
"We've arrived Young Lord"
I smiled as I went out, the guards on duty bowed, there were ten of them this time, so if anyone wanted to cause fuss they'd have to think twice.
I had told them beforehand to make a garden inside the Café so I could have the option to place the seed here or in the farm.
The world tree told me to not worry as it'll find my farm as it knows the scent of the plants from the system already so it'll bless it anyway.
[ Ding! ]
[ The Seed Has Been Planted! ]
[ The Tree has understood where it has been planted! It's Size will adjust accordingly. ]
As soon as I closed the prompt the tree grew to its normal height, it covered the three floors of the Café.
"I'm glad I made things in advance"
As soon as I turned around, I saw the elves prostrating and crying.
"Young Lord Is this the?"
"It's the World Tree, although its just its offspring it is still the world tree nonetheless."
These people who haven't been near to its original body could feel they were blessed.
"You may approach it, be orderly."
The manager went first, he placed his forehead onto the trunk, and after a few minutes he cried like a baby.
He then regained his composure as he looked at me.
"This won't be a secret at this year's ritual and perhaps news will arrive here soon, I will all tell you in advance, I am the World Tree's chosen, do what you may with that Info but I hope you guys will continue to be loyal and treat me as family regardless."
They all cheered as they heard the news, and just as I expected, these grown men and women ran to me and hugged me as if I won the lottery.
This was just a normal occurrence for elves if someone achieved something big, Like I said who wouldn't get tired when everyone treats everyone as family.
"Okay Okay, release me, the customers will be here in an two to three hours so I suggest you guys commune with the world tree this is the opportunity of the lifetime."
"Yes Young Lord!"
They all released me and in an orderly line they did what the manage had done a few minutes ago.
Though subtle I could sense their vitality grow stronger and their looks getting better.
"Tell the guards outside the news and tell them to come in two by two and after that release the news to the elves staying in Noryata."
"Yes Young Lord!"
Soon all the elves rushed out of the cafe, they weren't normal waiters, maids, cooks and cleaners.
Some of them were previously assassin's, mages, warriors who wanted to leave that life so they knew movement spells but if I told them to return to that life they would gladly do so.
I then sat as I read the book that I had wrote.
"What would the young lord like?"
"Espresso, and."
I pulled out a small notebook and gave it to the maid in front of me.
"Give this to the manager and chef, it's a new recipe for cakes."
To be Honest I wanted to taste red velvet over here, with this being a fantasy world I wonder how it'll taste with crazy ingredients.
"As you wish."
As I was enjoying my time to relax for a bit I saw a flock of elves bowing to me in an orderly manner and soon went to the world tree, As it was happening a guard approached me.
"Young Lord."
"Report."
"Some Elves who aren't part of the association wants to come in."
"Purpose?"
"After hearing the news they also wanted to be blessed but we told them to wait for your decision."
"Let them in but let them meet me first before."
"As you wish."
I knew they were mercenaries, elves who didn't join the association were those bunch primarily because they're not good at business nor they wanted to be under me.
Plus if you were under the association and you somehow died in Noryata the entire association will do its best to investigate and hunt down the killer no matter what.
This made it hard for them to join mercenaries or take quests from others as they were afraid of this backlash thus they refused to join to still accept quests
Shortly around ten to twenty people arrived in front of me, they looked at me but didn't bow, perhaps these were the party leaders of the mercenaries, looks like news spread fast after an hour.
"Speak."
"We would like the world tree's blessing."
"Tell me what I would get? Oh before you ask I'm the World Tree's chosen so you know the magnitude of that title right?"
They nodded, The World Tree's blessing,
Let me get this straight, to them it just gives them better vitality, increased regeneration and a small increase in strength.
All Royal guards, High Elves already have this blessing by the age of six, seven or even when we were born in the High Elves case, to commoners once you were promoted by one the houses you were under they would file this request to the king and it usually would get granted.
The World Tree can make High Elves and bless elves at the same time but not everyone would enjoy this benefit and thats why most of us gets hunted down as they wanted to know the secrets of this blessing.
Right now My words could dictate whether they would flourish or not.
They grimaced as soon as I waited for their answer they looked at each other and shook their heads
"We don't have anything to offer."
I gave my blessings to my subordinates and it would catch fire, The King knew this would happen sooner or later so he had made preparations in advance back in Listeria.
I mean he already knew I was fostering and army so I doubt he didn't have any plans for that.
"20 percent, and information, when you accept requests, commissions or orders you immediately go to the association and report the things you have accepted."
They began talking with one another, they could see elves lining up from the other side and had tears of Joy as soon as they were done.
'I hope this army of mine won't disappoint me in the future'
"We de-"
"You guys are still not gonna be part of the association, I forgot about that part."
"WE ACCEPT!"
someone shouted from the back and soon they nodded in unison.
"Go and once you're all done with your members come meet me at the association tomorrow I will tell you guys what to report."
They nodded and soon scattered to get in line.
'This is gonna be fun, I wonder how the King and Father would react, but overall if the regulation of the blessing is gone it increases our survival in the future.'
I looked at them with a genuine smile as the more stronger everyone is around me the more I could get less involved.
