Chapter 198: The Reincarnated Little Elf Girl Won't Give Up!

Alma POV IV 4/4

-----

I couldn't run away. I hated to admit it, but this guy knew a lot about Unique Skills. Perhaps the feeling that I got from him was wrong and maybe… he was a good person?

No… I am just deceiving myself. This bastard was… really a son of a bitch. I knew it just from looking at him.

He's those smug bastard you just want to punch in the face.

But what can I do now? I cannot resist, I am weak physically.

I cannot even fight back with magic because my parents sealed my fucking mana!

I have to obey…

Damn it.

I can't help but burrow my face over my pillow as I scream over it.

I am frustrated, I don't want to die!

But I also don't want to… leave my parents.

And even less stay with that weird bastard…

But I also don't want to let my little sister die young because of my foolishness.

But… is it even known if she has the curse? Maybe she doesn't have it… If that's the case, then she could live by herself and… not be like me.

But that Greenwood… he's a shady bastard.

He will probably try to convince my parents that my little sister has the curse somehow.

And… what can I even do? My parents don't listen to me, nor do they consider things when I ask them. They say I am still too young for talking with adults about "adult stuff"… so frustrating.

What can I do?

Nothing…

Ugh.

The next day I woke up rather eagerly. I knew I was fucked up but I was still going to read more of those books.

I read the No-Attribute spell books over and over again.

Every day.

After breakfast, I continued reading.

After lunch, I continued reading.

After dinner, I continued reading.

Did I finish the book? I reread it.

I also researched magic theory, the elements of the world, spirits, and their correlation with magic, investigation, and theory about mana core cultivation, alchemy, and even crafting.

And while doing that, I tried to break the seal in my chest behind Rose's back.

Every day I would sit on the bed and meditate, focusing my mind on my Mana Core.

It was like an organ you could feel.

I could feel the walls blocking it from ending mana.

I had to just break them.

The walls made by Rank 6 Experts such as my parents…

Can I, do it?

I will try with all I have.

The first days were impossible, I wasn't even able to do a thing, and I felt dizzy and tired afterward, sometimes even ending throwing up in the bathroom.

I had tried to go outside of the castle, but the guards blocked my path, my parents had given me the order of strictly keeping me inside my room. I was able to sneak into the library at night sometimes, but there wasn't much I could do.

"I am the princess! Let me pass! I can do whatever I want!" I roared at them.

"I am sorry, young princess, but it can't be done. It is an order from the King and the Queen, they have higher authority than you…"

"P-Please forgive us…"

They were still fearful of my position, as they asked for forgiveness because they saw me get angered.

Sigh…

"Ugh, whatever."

I had tried to convince multiple guards, but they never let me in.

One day I tried using a magic artifact I found in the library inside an abandoned room, but it malfunctioned when I infused mana into it… Damn it.

And I ended ridiculed as the guards took me back to my room.

I had found some other artifacts too, they were old and filled with dust, but I couldn't use my own mana to activate them, I had to use Mana Cores that people harvested from monsters…

The artifacts were rare, some were like glasses that boosted sight, others were like armor that enhanced strength, there was also a blade that could release flames and even a shield that could heal the user at the same time. They were relics of ancient times throw here for whatever reason, perhaps not even my parents knew about them because they barely visited the library, to begin with.

But I knew about them! Hehehe… Ugh… Although, I required Mana Cores to use them. And whenever they take me away, I will obviously not be able to bring them with me anyways.

So in the end, it was all useless.

Everything was useless…

Well, I still tried.

I acted cute, innocent, and playful with the guards, who were all grown men weak to cute girls such as me.

"G-Guard… I was wondering… What is a Mana Core? I want a shiny jewel to make an accessory for mama… Do you have any~?" I asked, with the cutest voice I could muster. My pride as a man was fading away with every second.

The guards were easily baited by my cuteness, they got all red and saw me like a precious little angel.

"P-Princess-sama…"

"Just a mana core?"

"W-Well… I don't think she can use it if she doesn't have mana, her mana is sealed, right?"

"Yeah… Well…"

"Pretty please~?"

"Hmm…"

The two guards looked at each other and then, one of them took a little purple jewel from their pocket. It seems that they carry them around quite easily.

"Here… But please don't use it for anything bad, alright? I hope you can make a cute accessory for your mother, princess."

"Uwah! Thank you, guard! You're so nice and handsome!" I said, as I grabbed the jewel and rushed away.

"The princess is so cute…"

"She reminds me of my daughter…"

Hehe! Success!

With my new Mana Core, I quickly ran back to my room where I had one of the artifacts which I had sneaked into my room, a strange golden dagger with weird purple and blue-colored metallic material, and some jewels of the same color.

I didn't even know what it was, but it could surely be strong, right?

I looked inside of it and saw a pocket where you could insert a mana core. I put the core inside and then…

FLASH!
