The elf would rather believe that the baby was still innocent and didn't know anything at all.
Still, regardless of her ignorance, why would she pick me? Why didn't her seniors tell her something?
Why? Is it because of my abilities?
My 'Decay' and 'Weather control' ability is quite powerful, but it can't be compared to how dangerous I can be when my demonic bloodline is triggered.
Or maybe she eyed my all-rounded alchemist ability? But no one knew that...not even my own parents. How could she know about that ability?
Right, there's no way she knew! It's just...impossible.
If the elf knew that Ainsley actually came for him because she knew about his alchemist ability, he would have puked blood.
So the baby isn't kind at all!
However, indeed, Ainsley didn't find the elf to be disgusting despite his blue skin.
As a modern person, she's taught not to discriminate against people from their skin colour, sexual preference, and so on.
"Right, do you have a name, Mistel elf?" Ainsley retracted her hands and curiously looked at the elf's bang, a bit itching to cut the bang and looked at his face.
But since it might be impolite...the baby suppressed her urge.
When Ainsley asked for the elf's name, the elf was in a daze once more. He looked up at Ainsley and stared right into her ruby eyes.
"A...name?" A hoarse and weak voice escaped his dry lips.
The skinny blue-skinned elf trembled slightly as if about to do something when the auction host suddenly interfered.
"Apologize, esteemed guest. A slave doesn't have a name. You shall name him instead."
The host was clearly eager not to tell Ainsley the elf's real name because the elf was already sold to be a slave, and it's clear that he shouldn't use his old name.
Even Jake also agreed with the auction host for once.
"Godtoddler, you can give him a new name. He will accept it gladly." Jake patted Ainsley's head as he looked at the male elf with a menacing glint in his eyes.
It's as if he's saying: "Accept your new name and don't even dare blurt out your real name. You know that this is all for your survival too, right?!"
The elf wasn't dumb either. He knew that his real name would bring troubles, and if those pursuers knew that he's still alive as a slave, his new master would be implicated too.
Suppressing the bitter feeling in his heart, the elf gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
"Master. I don't have a name. Please...grant me a name."
A new name means a new life, anyway. It would be good to break away from his family background and live in this human continent peacefully.
"A name, huh…" Ainsley tilted her head as she looked at the elf. She's actually tempted to name him 'Smurf', but that'd be blasphemy.
Moreover, her one and only alchemist should have a good name.
He will be a subordinate and hold an important position in her family. He wouldn't be a mere slave either, so he needed a good and cool name!
Ainsley rummaged through her memories of her past life when she browsed tons of male names with their meanings.
After thinking for a few minutes, the baby slapped her thigh and finally declared.
"Then, your name shall be Axelle. It means the peacemaker. Someone who brings peace to the world!"
Ainsley let out pearly laughter as she bestowed the elf a new name.
Axelle. A peacemaker, someone who brought peace to the world. A cool name, isn't it?
However, when the others heard the meaning of the name, they nstantly looked at Ainsley as if she's an idiot.
Hello? He's clearly someone with a demonic bloodline and can be really evil. He always brings chaos and death everywhere he goes, a great contrast with what an elf should be.
But now you bestow him a name with the meaning of peacemaker? Isn't that way too ridiculous?! Are you expecting him to be a sage?!
The others didn't feel that the name Axelle was good, but when the elf heard of it, something just stabbed deep into his heart.
Without him knowing, beads of tears slowly rolled down his cheeks.
Axelle. A peacemaker, huh? For someone who brings nothing but chaos like me...to be bestowed with such a name…
Axel suddenly felt that his new master was truly….truly miraculous.
How did she know I have always wanted to get a name with that kind of meaning? How did she know I want to bring peace to the world and not become the source of chaos?
Axel's tears dripped down his cheeks, yet his hair covered almost all of his face, hiding his tears perfectly.
With a trembling voice and almost choking on his own saliva, Axel straightened his back, took on the pose of a knight during a master-servant oath, and bowed.
"Axelle serves the master. My life...shall be in your hands."
And that's how Ainsley acquired an elf as a subordinate.
At that moment, Ainsley's eyes instantly lit up.
Finally! He's mine! And he even swears an oath!
The baby was elated. She's just about to pat the elf's head or something when Jevon's phone rings, breaking such a heartwarming scene!
….Jevon? Hello??
Sensing Ainsley's dark aura, Jevon broke in a cold sweat.
"...I'm sorry, boss. I'll take it." Jevon's face flushed red. He quickly took the call, and it was automatically on a loudspeaker.
The man was about to curse whoever called them when someone shouted from the other side of the phone, so loudly that his voice rang throughout the backstage.
"HELP! The Sloan Family is under attack!"
