Elise and I eventually arrived at the adventurers guild the guards went a little stiff when we walked up that caught Elise's eye but she didn't say anything as we entered Inside a few people notice us entering when they realized it was me and I wasn't alone they got a little curious
" this is it the adventurers guild " Elise looked around the lobby it was fairly big with people moving about a lot when her eyes fell on the bar in the corner of the lobby she noticed a few people looking over but she didn't think much of it its normal for her to get looked at
" let's get me registered out here so I can take missions with you " she grabbed my hand walking over to talk to a receptionist
" how may I help you miss " the receptionists asked with a smile when we got to her Elise smiled " hi I would like to get registered here so I can take missions with my husband " the receptionists raised her brow as she looked at me she knew who I said my wife was
" may I have your adventures card please " Elise opened a pouch she keeps around her upper thigh for little things like a adventures card the receptionists took the card looking at it for a minute she was stunned to see it really was the elven princess the adventures cards are extremely hard to fake so it had to be real The receptionist stood there for a sec before putting the card on a rune that flashed when she did
" here you are everything is set thank you for coming over here " Elise took her card as the receptionists handed it back " no problem " when Elise and I turned around we heard a loud voice " ahh ghost it seems you have finally gotten over that princess " I frowned deeply hearing that voice ' Gods I can't stand this guy he's such a waste of space ' a tall muscular human came over to us obviously checking Elise out " why don't you leave this little guy and get with a real man "
Before Elise or I said anything a vine wrapped around the man's mouth and torso yanking him back towards a female elf who was holding a vine whip " I apologize for my friend princess he gets like a cave man around females excuse us " the elf bowed before dragging the man towards the bar as he struggled Elise shook her head
" do you know them " she asked me I also shook my head " not really I've seen them a couple times when I was drinking but that's it they are suppose to be two of the strongest people here " Elise nods but didn't say anything more about it as she grabbed my arm " let's go get something to eat " leaving the now silent guild we made out way to a nearby restaurant " so this is where you have been this whole time " Elise asked as we ate
" yeah I thought it would be the best place for Emily and I considering they let all races live here" I looked out the window of the restaurant at the complex crystal streets of this hollowed out mountain " plus it's beautiful " I looked at Elise with her silver hair flowing gently down her back and those piercing yet gentle blue eyes of her's I wondered how I could hurt her I won't ever do something like that again I love her too much
Elise nodded " it also seems you have a reputation at the guild half the people there were tense like if they spoke to loud they would die " I open my mouth but closed I was going to say I didn't know what she was talking about until I started having flash backs to all the times I fought making the earth quack or teleported in with a half dead monster even what happened the other day
I looked away from Elise as she looked me with a smirk on her face " no comment " Elise chucked shaking her head continuing to eat I started eating also
We chatted about different things through our meal before leaving when we were finished " let's head back I want to get settled in a little bit " I nodded smiling at how good a day this has been 'and how long will that last ' the voice said with a snicker on the way back Elise held onto my arm as we enjoyed the beauty of the city
When we got to the mansion there was a little argument going on in the courtyard
" don't go please it's safer here " birna was trying to reason with a human woman who was holding her daughter's hand about to leave " won't live under the same roof as my husband's killer you saw what happened I can't do it maybe you all are ok with it but I'm not and do you honestly believe he's doing this out of the kindness of his heart " she turned around to leave but jolted back when she saw us standing there I stood there for a second trying to think of something to say
I swear i could feel the demon smirking inside me " I'm sorry for anything I have done to hurt you or those you care about but I have no ill intentions " I looked over at a maid behind birna she came forward handing a case of gold coins " this is a 100 gold coins take it please all I want is for you all to try and have a happy and peaceful life after what you all went through you are not my prisoners here your free to go"
The lady looked at me then the case from the maid who opened it to show the gold then she took and left without another word " what did she mean by all that " I asked birna she looked away sighing " well when you saved us some if the people you killed that were working there were husbands of the people you saved who were being forced to work there " I felt sick to my stomach the pleas and begs and screaming of the people I killed that day all hit me at once and I threw up some of the food I just ate as I could hear the maniacal laughter of the demon
Elise held me as I started to wobble " teleport us to the room " I did as she said when we appeared she helped me in the bathroom where I threw up again " am I a monster" I asked Elise after she helped me rinse my mouth out with some water she lead me to the bed making me lay down on her lap " I already told you the answer to that not too long ago " she stated as she started rubbing her hand through my hair gently
I closed my eyes enjoyed it for a bit before looking at Elise " I've been hearing a voice in my head ever seen the day I thought you died and I became that thing it taunts me constantly " Elise hand stopped for a moment before continuing " I'll always be here my love for anything you need " I just closed my eyes enjoying having her back eventually I fell asleep without realizing it
A knock at the door woke me up " dinner is ready " a maid said from the other side of the door " we'll be there in a minute " Elise answered she let me sleep on her lap this whole time " do you feel better " she asked I nodded " thanks to you " I kissed her and we made our way to the dining room
" mama,papa " Emily came running to with a hug " I wanted to go back out with you guys " Elise pat her head " sorry sweetheart we can go back out again tomorrow ok " Emily nodded happy with that as hopped on to Elise's lap to eat with us when we sat down

Outside the elven capital the human prince sat in a carriage with a annoyed look he would have used the giant bird but his father used it to fly back home " I'll kill that bastard ans she will be mine I didn't come this far for nothing " the prince kept tapping his foot impatiently " hurry up" he yelled at the driver to have him go fast
The driver frowned rolled his eyes luckily the prince couldn't see him" yes my prince " the driver said the prince tapped his foot faster as the air around him started to heat up
' when I get my equipment I'll make you regret ever coming back here ' the prince was frustrated and embarrassed by what happened that night and he had a plan to make sure the one who hurt him will regret it and he will deal with it personally
The guards outside his carriage shook their heads moving away from the carriage a bit ever since the prince heard about the elven princess loving someone else he has slowly lost it they felt bad for him because before that he was a genuinely nice person
