Olga (3)

"I see," the corner of my lips curled a bit, I said, "you have my sympathy, for your condition and the state of your race."

"But I'm sorry, both of them are not my problem, and I don't want to waste my time."

Olga stared at me, and then she smiled in return, said, "So, do you want to kill me?"

"Kill you? Madam, you get the wrong idea..." a chuckle popped from my mouth, "in fact, I have a proposal."

"A proposal?"

I disappeared from my spot using the 'Travel' spell, and then reappeared beside Olga, she jumped a little, almost leaving the throne due to my action.

I tapped on her shoulder to calm her down, said, "My proposal is that you marry me."

"..." Olga's eyes widened, looking at me confusedly.

One moment ago, I was scolding her, even didn't pretend to hide my disgust over her action, now I wanted her to marry me? Maybe the screw in my head was loosened a bit.

"Your problem isn't my problem, but if you are my woman, your business becomes my business."

Olga regained her composure, she frowned, and then said, "Why don't I offer you a hefty sum of reward? Besides, I have a ton of Dark Elves under my shelter, you can pick anyone you desire and marry them."

"You're kidding? How can those Dark Elves ever be compared to you?" I sneered, also felt a little annoyed, did she think I was some kind of slut who married every single woman I met on the road? Well, maybe she's not entirely wrong, but hey, I got taste too.

"Olga, don't get me wrong, I would like those Dark Elves too, but you are you, and they are they, who I want is you."

Besides, wasn't marrying the Queen could get me to marry basically anyone under her reign? Cough, okay, I didn't have that intention, I would not force anyone to become my woman.

"How will you help me?" Olga said.

"Ah, right, right, the detail is important..." I nodded in agreement, then I said in a casual tone, "first, I will kill every savage race in your army."

"What?!" Olga once again almost jumped, but my hand on her shoulder nailed her to the throne.

"Are you crazy?! Had you killed all of them, with what are you going to help me?"

"Who says anything about continuing the war?" I shrugged, "you listen to me first."

My plan was to kill those savage races and offered their heads to Celestine, and since I married Olga, that made me the King of Black Citadel, and Olga had given the highest order in the chain of command to me. My action and words would have value.

Naturally, the second reason why I killed those savages was that to punish them for their actions, cleaned entirely all the crimes.

Second, I would bring Olga in front of Celestine with a wish for her amnesty, except for the death penalty and humiliation, she would be willing to accept any kind of punishment.

Third, I would offer the Black Citadel's service with no payments, the first reason was to make up for the crimes, the second reason was to build up the Dark Elves' reputation, I didn't even mind carrying on the duty myself.

After listening to my plan, Olga looked at me complicatedly, agreeing with me means she would suffer, her high pride certainly wouldn't allow her to be treated such.

"Think Olga, do you desire for your own good or the good for your entire race? Isn't that the reason you start this war?"

"Imagine, the suffering of the dark elves has gone through, do you wish for the future generations to experience that again?"

"Olga, there are many ways to become Hero, as long as you leave a good name in history, some people will always praise you."

Olga went silent for a while, then she said, "Why wife? Don't you want me as your slave? Won't it be a more greatest accomplishment?"

I sighed, "First of all, I detest slavery, second, my goal is to build my harem, all of my women will have the same status, regardless if you're queen, a noble, even a goddess, once you're my women, then you're all my wives."

"What does it mean to have the same status?"

"It means I won't treat you differently according to the status..." I said, "but you have to understand, I am still a human, I have a feeling, and it will always lean to someone I like the most, so even if I treat you all fair, I will always have some of you that I favor the most."

Olga smiled, but she was still hesitant, she said, "What if I reject? Would you kill me or hand me over to Celestine?"

"No." I thought for a while, then said, "your struggle with Celestine isn't my concern, but you need to be careful, I could possibly marry Celestine too, and that means..."

"Her business is your business?" Olga chuckled, I nodded.

Then I quickly said, "But if I marry you first; unless Celestine can make peace and no longer treat you as an enemy, I will not marry her."

"Oh, why? You have to know that Celestine even more beautiful than me, she's the reincarnation of the Goddess after all."

"Even so, but I respect you, I consider your feeling, how can I marry someone who treats you as an enemy? I can't accept that."

Olga gave a long sigh, she mumbled, "You are really a peculiar guy... what's your name?"

"Abe."

"Abe... not so cool name," Olga glanced upward, and she looked at me with teasing eyes.

"Well, I am sorry," I couldn't help but snort, it drew out her chuckle.

"Abe, if I reject your proposal, but I wish you to save me in the end? Will you agree?"

"... If you are afraid they will humiliate you, or any of the Dark Elves in that matter, I'll take you to somewhere safe," after all, I couldn't just leave these women in the horrible fate, dead was much better for them.

Olga took a deep breath, she reached out to my arm, her touch was soft, there was tenderness in her eyes.

"Alright, I marry you."
