Elves Vs Elves

Licha and her crew were just thirty meters away from their destination when a heavy thunderstorm stopped their journey. Licha and Halidesus were sitting in their chariot when Leo along with Elena entered their chariot. Licha was drinking soup and she smiled, "So, we have almost reached our destination, Leo." Leo said, "Yes. By the day after tomorrow, we will be in Ganzi City." Licha sighed, "After the fuck up you did, half the excitement and happiness have faded away." Leo said, "Don't say it like that. We are still their masters and you are their Queen." Halidesus asked, "I still don't understand why the elves consider Aliyah or her family as God. All they did was make hasty decisions and damage their allies. King Alapaca was so afraid of the invasion of the demons, that he switched his kingdom three times in one year. Aliyah was no different either. She was not a good princess and was always quite brash with others, especially the people around her, and seldom stayed in the Elf Kingdom to understand the ailments and sorrows of her people. Elgin and Vexana were the only reason she managed to take back some lost cities from the demons. She blundered three million gold coins in the failed conquest of Maio City and also lost twelve cities when she returned to the Elf Kingdom amidst the ongoing war."

Licha smiled, "Aliyah is a local heroine. A "ray of hope". A "light of virtue and prosperity." But, frankly speaking, Aliyah was never one of those things. She was just an ordinary kid and maybe even worse than an ordinary kid. She was arrogant, rough, and cruel. I still remember when she and her elder sister, Carmilla came to Namaria. She was almost eleven or twelve years old and Carmilla was sixteen. We were told by our parents to go and play with them while our parents discussed some important topics. I walked towards Aliyah and said that my name is Licha and I am my father's daughter. She looked at me and smirked and smiled. She told me my attire was too exorbitant for a minister's daughter. I should wear poorer clothes as soon as my father and mother will be begging in Lamb City somewhere and if the thieves and muggers see me wearing such rich clothes, they will kill me and take my clothes. She even said that my brother, Elgin is a demented kid and he will never become a good wizard like her uncles. From that day, I started disliking her and with time this dislike turned into hate. Aliyah was also not happy with the high standards she was bestowed with and would often grumble about it to Elgin and Vera. But, her insecurities and incompetence soon started to affect all the people around her and the most strange thing about that was that her popularity increased more. Those foolish and illiterate elves started seeing Mother Manaca in her and would often call her tantrums as antics of Mother Manaca. Her decisions were final and no one was allowed to argue with them. My mother used to taunt me saying that why I couldn't be like her and I should also start boot-licking Aliyah like Elgin. But, when the war ate my elder brother, father, grandfather, and other uncles, my mother started seeing Aliyah as a pothole full of shit and soon after her death, started climbing the ladder to Namaria's political regime. But, that bitch returned and brought along her the Blood Spear and its bearer and stirred turmoil all over the Elf Kingdom. Killed Tammy, Jammy, Krymon, Hilda, and her babies. She even killed Tammy's unborn twins like the heartless monster she is. Whenever that lady has stepped foot in the Elf Kingdom, there has been a bloodbath and this time it will be no different. She will find some way to kill all of us."

Leo asked, "Are you afraid of her?" Licha sighed, "She is quite scary." Leo smiled, "Yet, you are trying to fight her." Licha laughed, "I will defeat her this time and for good. Aliyah was never a good person and this time the whole world will know why I deserve to be the Blood Queen." Halidesus asked, "You are planning to become the Blood Queen?" Licha smiled, "Aliyah thinks she is some master or guide of the Blood Queen, but how can she be a guide when she never got to be the Blood Queen in the first place." Halidesus said, "You are taking a very big risk. The Blood Queen is not something that you can earn or take by force. You have to be chosen by Mother Manaca." Licha said angrily, "Bullshit! Everyone said the same things about Aliyah and what fuck did she get? Nothing. Plain nothing. These supernatural and spiritual talks don't have a place in today's dynamic world where no one is no one's friend. Aliyah herself wouldn't have believed in all this nonsense if I was a threat to her and was a Blood warrior. If she doesn't believe in religious jargon, why should I?" Leo said, "I am fed up with all this Blood nonsense. Elves and demons have been at war for almost five or six centuries and still, there is no clear winner. Businessmen like us are fucked from both sides and then when we try to use our money as a lubricant, the fucking only gets more faster." Halidesus laughed, "That's politics, my boy. People like you are the reason empires don't collapse. Earlier your father got fucked when King Alapaca seized the majority of his businesses in the name of war funding and soon lost both the war and your father's money. But, your father didn't let his money collapse and kept the empire alive by funding the next big man who was Tammy. But, Alice killed Tammy and your father fled to Namaria and sold whatever was left of his estate to buy cheap abandoned factories and started selling tobacco. After your father's demise, you took over and now you are tied up with us." Licha smiled, "This shit is real, boy. Aliyah is already after your ass and sooner or later she will come for you." Leo asked nervously, "Then, what should I do?" Licha said, "Well, in this scenario only two things can save us. Luck and lots and lots of money. So, tell me honestly Leo. How much revenue are we talking about here from your factories?" Leo said, "I don't know. I still haven't started doing the math. Maybe, three to four payloads but only if the factories run without disturbance." Licha smiled, "There will be lots and lots of disturbance. Aliyah is a sly fox and might have already assigned spies on us. Who knows who is with us or against us?" Leo said nervously, "Please, don't say it like this. I have invested all my wealth in the factories and if they get destroyed, I am doomed." Licha sighed, "After we return from your plantations, I will conduct a meeting with the Shinigano and Shuriken tribes. It's time they listen to the real queen and not some bitch." Leo said, "We will talk about these later. I am quite sleepy and I would like to have some sex before sleep." Halidesus smiled, "No. You shouldn't. This is a serious time and we have to be alert all the time. Indulging in sexual acts will put a bad image on our slaves." Leo asked, "What do you mean by that?" Licha said, "Trust him. If you have sex with this girl and the people of Ganzi City get to know about it, they will consider you as a filthy person and will reject you." Leo asked, "Then, should I not even enjoy myself? It is my life and I should be in control of it." Licha said. "We will talk about it later. For now, focus on the tobacco plantations." Leo and Elena were about to leave when Licha said, "Since you won't be having sex tonight. Elena should stay here with me. The journey has been quite tiring and I think she can give me a good massage." Leo didn't say anything and left the chariot. Halidesus also left the chariot after some time.

Licha removed all her clothes and said, "Come here, girl." Elena went towards her and started massaging her body gently. Licha giggled, "First time? Well, you are new here so might not know that when I say to massage me, I mean that you cuddle with me without clothes. It is an old Namarian tradition and frankly, I don't usually follow this tradition but seeing you I want to do it. Badly." Elena opened her clothes and lay beside her. She started to cuddle with her. Licha asked, "So, what are your plans with your boss? Are you going to settle with him or.... find a new boss?" Elena smiled, "Would I find a better boss?" Licha smiled, "If it's sex that you want better, then I don't know anyone specific but if it's money, then Leo is still very loaded and will be in the future too." Elena leaned towards Licha and asked, "What about you? I heard your husband died." Licha smiled, "Well, my husband was not great in the bed and to be honest, we rarely got intimate in our twelve years of marriage. He always stayed drunk most of the time and I am pretty much sure that he had multiple affairs outside the marriage. His family takes quite pride in polygamy. But, still, it didn't matter. Gilbert was not interested in me. He liked to stay away from me. Our marriage was kind of a love marriage but soon when Gilbert discovered that my father killed his grandfather in the Great War, he started to dislike me. But, I am not a weirdo like Aliyah who fucks people with no dicks. I like my lovers with a dick." Elena smiled, "No problem, ma'am. It was my duty to offer myself." Licha smiled, "Don't offer yourself to anyone, girl. In my new kingdom, no girl will offer herself to anyone for anything but only love and happiness. I will bring a new world with my reign. A world where everyone will be equal and happy." Elena asked, "But people like Leo are ruining the environment and exploiting innocent people for their selfish benefits. How can you create a better world with such corrupt people?" Licha smiled and patted her head, "These corrupt people have a ton of money that will be very helpful for the formation of my new kingdom, and don't worry, after my kingdom gets established I will gradually eliminate all these pests one by one." Elena asked, "But, I heard Aliyah is planning something very big?" Licha asked, "Who told you this?" Elena replied, "I heard it from Tama." Licha smiled, "Tama. She needs to keep her tongue in control. Her chattering nature will wreak havoc on her and her family one day. Forget all this Aliyah stuff. Rumors spread faster than facts and I ain't the one to become a fool without testing the facts." Elena asked, "Should I go now?" Licha smiled, "Where will you go? It's raining heavily outside. Stay here tonight. You will get a lot of chances to fuck boys in the town." Elena smiled and closed her eyes. Licha sighed and then blew the candle and closed her eyes to sleep.

Aliyah was looking at the sky. The moon was seemingly brighter than the other days, indicating the arrival of the day of the Blood ritual. Aliyah sighed, "The day is nearing and Alice is still not conscious. I just hope she gets approved by the priests." Vexana and Elgin entered the room and looked at Aliyah. Vexana asked, "So, are we ready for the war?" Aliyah looked at her and said grimly, "Are we ready for the war? Well, what if we aren't? Will it make any difference or give us any timeout from our enemies? The answer is a big NO!!!" Vexana said, "Relax, I was just asking." Elgin asked, "After the war ends, we will go to the mortal world. Right? Who will be the new ruler of Namaria?" Aliyah said, "After the war ends, and if we manage to win and survive, then yes we will go to the mortal world. The ruler of the Namaria is your decision. You have full authority to choose whoever you want and I will not have any objection." Elgin chuckled, "That's a very big responsibility. I don't have anyone special in my mind. Vera might be a viable person for the responsibility. She is young, smart, and is not greedy like Licha." Vexana said, "No. Vera is an invisible person now and she shall remain so. I think Maki is a better person to become the ruler of the new Namaria. She is capable, experienced, and has connections with many people of all the sections so she will be able to understand their needs and problems better than anyone." Aliyah said, "Since you two have people of your own, I would like to put a contestant of my own. Since I don't have a sister or any other close person of mine from my family, I would like to put Diana's name. She already is the ruler of the Dailo Mountains and I think she will be the best person to maintain Namaria. She might be a little bit of a stranger to Namaria but she is quite a good ruler." Vexana and Elgin shrugged. Aliyah said, "We will discuss the person after the war. Let's go to sleep and discuss the strategies tomorrow morning. Now, go and sleep." Vexana and Elgin left the room and Aliyah looked at the moon and sighed...
