The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

-- POV Freya --

It was already the day after the festival, Shiro was sleeping in my arms between Gaya and me. I was trying to get up quietly when the dragoness whispered to me.

"Where are you going?"

"I wanted to go to the adventurer's guild, I couldn't go yesterday as I saw Shiro"

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do with that little girl?"

I didn't need to think about it because I had already made a decision yesterday. Maybe it was not reasonable and even dangerous but I knew what I wanted to do.

"I want to take care of her...I would like her to become...my daughter.."

Gaya didn't seem to be surprised at all and even looked at me with an amused look. After coming home the day before I had told Gaya everything and she had even almost cried.

"Freya, you're much more interesting than I thought you were ~ but I must admit that I've grown attached to this little Shiro too. We'll take care of her and give her all the love she never got."

I had to admit that hearing her say those words warmed my heart, it was indescribable.

[You know how to be exceptional when it doesn't involve humans haha ~]

I was aware that it may have been selfish of me, but seeing that little moon in my arms last night made me realize that I wanted her in my life.

*I don't know how it's going to turn out but I'm willing to take the risk.*

[And we'll be there no matter what, onee-san.]

*Thank you..*

At that moment I realized that the last few days had been wonderful. We were a group consisting of a dragon, a soul, a little half-human girl and a Demon Wolf in a city full of humans but it was wonderful.

"Gaya I'm going to see the guild to learn more about the adventurers. Watch over Shiro while I'm gone and definitely don't let her out for now. When I get back we can talk if she agrees to talk."

"Very well, I'll take care of her! And you, don't try to rip the head off the first human who looks at you the wrong way pfffufu ~"

"I'll do my best haha ~"

[Don't worry Gaya I'll take care of calming her down if necessary !]

With those words from Kira I put on my jacket, cape and boots and walked down the stairs of the inn to the guild. I didn't really know where it was but I wanted to discover the city quietly at the same time.

The streets were dirty after the festival and half-human slaves were busy cleaning every alley, every street under the direction of a human with a whip.

*If I believe what I heard, all the slaves belong to the lord of the city. It seems to me that his name was...*

[Harker...Fillber Harker]

*Mmh him...when I have nothing left to do in this town I'll pay him a visit !*

Even if I couldn't strategically attack the whole city, I could at least kill its lord. Thinking about the best way to do it, I finally arrived in front of a huge building with a sign with a sword and a shield.

"Here we go!"

I entered through the door, taking care to hide my face under my hood as I could see dozens of adventurers of all kinds occupying the place. As I made my way to the front desk, I could see that they were all in a frenzy for some unknown reason. Arriving in front of the counter, a young brunette woman with glasses greeted me.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

"I would like to get some information about the guild, the average level here and how it works."

The young woman couldn't see my face hidden under my hood but could hear my voice which had resumed its cold and dominant tone. Only my loved ones and family deserved me to address them warmly...certainly not a human.

"I..are you an adventurer?"

"I don't have a nameplate if that's what you're asking. I just came here to gather information on how this all works. Aren't you here for that or is that too difficult?"

I didn't care if I wasn't polite, I had no desire to be after seeing the cruelty of this city. She was paid to be friendly...not me. The young woman visibly taken aback by my words adjusted her glasses before speaking.

"A nameplate allows you to enter a city without paying taxes if you are an adventurer. However, everyone has one because it is used as an identity card. It shows your name, profession, level and class. If you decide to make one, you will have to pay two silver coins."

I didn't especially want to give them my information but becoming an adventurer could be interesting for the future because I could have access to important information.

*In your opinion Kira, should I accept?*

[The nameplate doesn't seem to indicate your race or course, so I think it wouldn't be a bad choice. Only your ice skill will be visible, don't worry about that!]

I then slid 2 silver coins on the counter while asking the receptionist to make me a nameplate.

"Please place your hand on this crystal, it will then transfer your information to a blank plate."

Placing my hand on the sphere, I felt like a small shock.

*Is this the same as my analysis skill ?*

[More or less but much less accurate, that's why I can use the system to mask your chaos skill by countering its analysis with yours].

The information was magically printed on this little piece of iron.

[Freya

Ice elemental mage

??

Level 30 ]

As the receptionist took the card to give it to me, a cry of amazement came out of her mouth as her eyes went wide with surprise.

"LEVEL 30 !?"

At that moment all the adventurers nearby looked at me with curiosity and interest wondering what I could possibly look like under this hood. Irritated, I lowered my head further before addressing the young woman not without a hint of irritation in my voice.

"Is there a problem?"

"No...it's just that...no one in this town holds such a high standard. This town is only home to beginner or low-ranking adventurers who go to the Syn Forest to level without risk. We've never had a person of your rank before. Perhaps you could help us..."

"Help you ?"

This human probably thought I was going to help them with a task I didn't know about. Intrigued, I let her continue while knowing almost 100% that I would refuse.

"Two days ago, a request was made by one of the most influential nobles in the city. House Duyer is offering 10 gold coins to the one who can bring back alive a huge wolf living in the forest."

[Don't tell me that...]

*Yes, it's me she's talking about kufufu ~*

"This filthy beast has already killed two of our adventurers and almost killed Richard Duyer but in an act of courage he managed to face the creature alone before managing to flee !"

[WHAT A LIE!!! AND THEN ONEE-SAN IS NOT A FILTHY BEAST !]

*It seems that these humans are all shameless ready to take any credit. This city is getting on my nerves more and more.*

"Would you agree to participate in the investigations that will begin tomorrow?"

"No."

My answer was clear, sharp and to the point. Stunned, the receptionist looked at me with round eyes thinking she hadn't heard me correctly.

"Why...why refuse?"

*Because I'm the wolf and because I would never help humans.*

But that I kept to myself.

"Because I just don't feel like it and I'm not interested. Do I have to find another reason? Now be nice don't waste my time and tell me how the adventuring business works."

"I..yes. Adventurers are classified by rank. C for levels between 0 and 10, B from 11 to 20, A from 21 to 30, S from 31 to 40, S+ from 41 to 50, SS from 51 to 70 and finally SSS for adventurers above level 70. Be aware that in this city the level does not exceed C or D and everywhere else it is difficult to find adventurers above rank S+."

[The leveling up in this world seems to be quite slow compared to you onee-san.]

*Well, that's good !*

The receptionist told me that you could only choose a guild mission if it matched your level, which seemed logical enough. Apparently, even though the city was almost entirely made up of C-ranks, it was possible to find missions for all ranks, so that itinerant adventurers could continue to work while traveling. These missions were usually issued by other cities and were not done in Yarlford.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"The wall of missions is to your left, I also took the liberty of defining your adventuring profession on your nameplate."

After these words I took my leave to walk towards the mission wall. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, I just wanted to look at what he had to offer. As I scanned the various announcements, only one caught my eye.

[MISSION RANK B/A

1 - Capture a horde of fire foxes for sacrifice.

2 - Help to capture half-human and (intelligent) beast slaves.

Location : Dark Forest

Sender : Church of humanity

Duration : 2 months

Remuneration: 50 silver coins per fox and 10 silver coins per half-human/creature captured. ]

*Kira...*

[Yes?]

*I think I've found our next destination.*

[The Dark Forest? Why?]

*To accomplish my goal, I need to gather subordinates and build my kingdom. I thought I would start by helping those fire foxes and others who are apparently being held by humans to become slaves. As I understand it, the humans who are taking care of them should still be there for a few weeks.*

[This is a really interesting plan. You get information from the humans and turn it against them. I love it!]

*isn't it ? Let's go back to the inn, I have to inform Gaya and have a talk with Shiro.*

I was heading towards the door when suddenly a tall, fat man blocked my way.

"Hey beautiful ! Apparently you don't want to join the expedition to kill that wolf scum? Are you afraid ? Hahahaha ~"

As he said these words, his greasy, sweaty hand came to rest on my shoulder. At that moment, the air inside the building instantly cooled down without me even needing to let out my aura, my simple killing intent was enough. Everyone held their breath in fear as I looked up at the man and distinctly said 3 words.

"Don't...touch...me..."

My voice was calm but icy and full of murderous intent as I plunged my gaze into his. The human fell backwards as my eyes met his before running off, obviously too frightened by a single glance.

The room was silent as I exited the guild and could hear the others whispering.

"She's A rank..."

"Did you also suddenly feel the cold? I still get chills from it."

"I didn't see what she did to him but he got scared.."

The fact is that I had done absolutely nothing, I had simply looked into his eyes.

*Tsk, humans are pathetic.*

________

After a few minutes, I was already back in the hostel. As I entered my room, I could see Gaya awake and Shiro still asleep. At the same time, as if she had sensed my presence, the little moon woke up and gently rubbed her eyes. When she saw me a bright smile appeared on her innocent little face tinged with a blush as she remembered her actions of the day before.

I walked over to her to talk about something important. As I picked her up and placed her on my lap, she looked at me intensely with her little starry eyes.

"Shiro...would you like me to be your mom ?"
