Volume 6 Chapter 59

Volume 6 + Chapter 59: Having A Blast of A Time

“The Elven Kingdom has finally fallen into my hands.”

Kennedy sat with his legs crossed, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand. Through the crimson liquid, he gazed at the map of the Elven Kingdom beyond the glass, utterly delighted.

Ever since becoming the Chancellor of the elven race, he felt that even breathing was a pleasure.

Now, he had completely controlled Eve, the ornamental Elf Queen. By issuing decrees in her name, there was not a single person in the entire court who dared to defy him.

If there were any…

Kennedy tightened his grip and shattered the wine glass. Watching the shards fall to the floor, his expression turned wild with arrogance.

“That is what awaits them.”

Thump, thump, thump.

A knock came at the door. Before Kennedy could respond, the door was pushed open.

A stunningly beautiful blonde elven woman with an impressive figure walked in, her face full of charm. She sat herself on Kennedy’s lap and greeted him with a passionate kiss.

“Darling~”

“Heh, Judith, did you come to see me for something?” Kennedy was in an exceptionally good mood.

“If there’s nothing, can’t I come to see you?”

Judith’s hand caressed Kennedy’s cheek.

“You’ve become the Grand Chancellor of our elven race, a rising celebrity that even children on the street know by name. Such a busy man, are you so swamped now that you have no time to see me?”

“How could that be? Judith, reaching this position today, of course I cannot separate it from your help. This time, we bet right. I have already controlled the Elven Capital. Now, no amount of impeachment matters. Power is firmly in my hands, and no one can take it away. Not even the elven royal family can hold their heads high before me.”

“I’ve heard that you arrested all those annoying civil officials on charges of rebellion, threw them into prison, and are preparing to put them on trial, right?”

“Yes, it’s a pity I can’t kill them all at once. If I pushed them to the brink, the forces behind those civil officials might fight me to the death,” Kennedy explained. “I’ve just taken this seat, so I need to steady things up a bit first.”

“So what are you going to do? You can’t just let them all go, that would make you lose face.”

“Of course not. I’ll first pick a few with no influence or background, kill them to warn the others, make those fools wise up and be cowed. Then, over time, I’ll replace their positions…”

“Good idea!” Judith clapped her hands in approval. “Once your position is secure, darling, will you be able to become the Elf King?”

“Of course. There is no one left within the Elven Kingdom who can compete with me. The throne is only a matter of time. But for now, I can’t be too impatient. I have to take it slow. Time is on my side… Once everything is stable, I can simply force that useless ornamental vase to abdicate and yield the throne to me. Then, I will be the legitimate Elf King.”

“And I’ll be the queen later on…?”

“Absolutely, Judith. You’ve followed me for so long and sacrificed so much, I remember it all. Once I become the Elf King, you will be the queen.”

“Darling, you said it! No taking it back!” Judith beamed with joy. Hearing that she would become queen, she was beside herself with excitement.

“By the way, you haven’t told me yet, what did you come to see me about?” Kennedy asked.

“Oh, darling. It’s the dark elf side. They’re accusing us of betraying them. They’re very angry and demand an explanation, saying they won’t let this slide,” Judith explained.

Through Judith’s connections, Kennedy had reached a cooperation with the dark elves.

Kennedy had used his position as elven general to obtain critical maps and secretly allowed the dark elf army passage, enabling them to launch a surprise attack on the elven palace and achieve the goal of wiping out the elven royal family.

That was the original agreement. However, Kennedy had used the dark elf army to create massive chaos, giving his own forces a legitimate reason to enter the Elven Capital and impose full control over both the capital and the palace.

As for those dark elf soldiers, he had them all killed, turning them into stepping stones for his own reputation.

“Who cares? Let the dark elves say whatever they want. So what if they turn on me? Those black-skinned Ni Gui have feeble brains anyway. Rather, this way they’ve served their maximum value.”

Kennedy’s face was full of disdain for the dark elf race.

“They want revenge, but they don’t have the means. They can only yelp from their own dens like dogs.”

“Even so, my business deals with the dark elves in the future…” Judith hesitated.

Kennedy saw his lover’s thoughts. “Judith, there will be plenty of good business for you from now on. In my position, you can do whatever you want. No need to deal with those Ni Gui.”

“Darling, with your words, I can rest easy.”

“Come, my luxurious open-top carriage is ready. Judith, I’ll take you out for a ride,” Kennedy proposed. “Let you experience what it means to have better treatment than the elven royal family.”

…

…

In the Elven Capital, an extremely lavish open-top carriage drove down the streets in the most ostentatious manner.

“Everyone, pay attention! The Lord Chancellor is coming!!”

The coachman shouted from the carriage, commanding the crowd.

“Bow to Lord Chancellor!”

Upon seeing this, the other elves stopped one after another, half-kneeling on the ground, bowing to the open-top carriage.

Nearly every shop on the street came to a halt, just to receive Kennedy.

This filled the elves with fury, but they dared not speak, afraid of being seized on charges of resistance and executed on the spot.

“Darling, this is incredible!” Judith exclaimed. “Not even the elven royal family travels with such grandeur!”

“Of course. From now on, my retinue must be even grander than the elven royal family’s!”

Leaning on the sofa in the carriage, Kennedy looked at the elves bowing low before him, his mood unspeakably elated.

Because of the favor of the Goddess of Fate, he had reached the pinnacle of the elven race.

In the future, he was destined to become the emperor of the elven race, rewriting his original fate and stepping onto a broad road to success.

So what if he had experienced some small failures in the past?

Heaven gave him talent for a reason.

What should succeed, in the end, will succeed.

If one word could describe his mood, it could only be…

Blast!

“Hahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha!!!”

Kennedy could not help but burst into laughter, having an absolute blast.

Just as his joy reached its peak, however, an accident occurred.
