Chapter 9 World Building part 2
"Are you still brooding in silence my love?" Deamune Princess Victoria walked out of the shadows towards me. Following on her hills is Puff now in the form of an ape like creature which walk like a human but with four arms. He is carrying two picnic baskets. I smelled the aroma of freshly cooked meat wafting out from the basket. Another thing I learned is that I can't summon food to materialize here in my Shadow Realm. My stomach growled, as I remembered my hunger. My throne instantly morphed to a two sitter throne like sofa to accommodate the Princess. She pouted at me, "I like sitting in your lap".
I smiled at her joke. I stood up, held her hand and kissed it tenderly. I guided her to sit next to me. "Thank you for bringing me food my Princess, will you dine with me?" I asked her as I sat beside her.
"I've already taken my meal my love, I came here to spend time with you and watch you eat." She smiled.
I recently learned that anyone who swear fealty to me will have unhindered access to my Realm. She is the first to swear it, and she did it when I summoned her back to my place after I returned from battling the summoners. I guess she's the first citizen of my domain. Puff is of a different circumstance, I learned from the Princess that I summoned and created Puff from my soul bank. It seems I can create my minions through the souls I absorbed. I called it my Minion skill. I watched Puff the shape shifter as he dutifully plated the food on the table that he willed to materialize in front of my throne. I assigned him as my personal assistant. This gave him access to manipulate and summon things in my Realm to serve me. Puff don't have to swear fealty he is already loyal. My Princess explained that all the minions I will create will automatically have absolute loyalty to their creator since thier life is also connected to mine. If I die, they die too.
I noticed that Victoria is watching me. Her feet is tucked on the sofa, her elbow on the arm rest and her head resting on her hands. She wear a different styled red dress which always highlights her slender figure. I don't care if she's trying to seduce me or not. She don't need to charm me, because I already love her.
"Why are you so gloomy my love?" She asked watching me. "Are you still brooding from your last skirmish with those summoners?" Her eyes trying to read my mind. "You were not defeated." she continued. "You accomplished the main reason you returned to them. You allowed them to complete the summoning so you will now have unbridled access to the Ancient Realm. You even captured twelve of them and your spies are now wondering free to the open world." She moved and held my hand while she looked lovingly to my eyes. "Why are you so dreary?"
I explained to her in length about my skill classification, my plans and the disadvantages of not being a Hard Hitter. After I finished she laughed, not to mock me. She laughed sweetly showing her confidence in me. "I am your Hard Hitter my love." She told me. "You rule and I will be your weapon" She added. She leaned towards the table to take a juicy meat with a fork and feed me fondly.
