…Elandor’s pov…

I was surprised to see this girl stalking me, let’s just make her know who is the real mastermind in this game.

As soon I walked in the door I deliberately left it open for her to come inside. I took a big wooden stick lying in corner of the room in my hands and hid behind the door. Then soon she came and heck yaa! … she was carrying a fkinn knife with her.

Without wasting any time I hit her head with enough strength to faint her. Then I carried her to my room and tied her hands and feet..after all, she is a mage, can never allow her to use those damn spells.

Thankfully, I still carried that mana-restricting drug with me as I bought huge amounts of it for emergencies.

I took a glass and pour almost all the drug into it. I’m sure it was enough to knock out a weak mage like her and make her mana circulation stop for at least 4 days. I quickly thought of a plan.

Then I went out to the market and bought some magic orbs. These orbs were special kind of things in this world, they were just like cameras to record a few seconds of video and store them after injecting a little mana in them. And once one crushes the orb they can see the scene which is recorded.

I bought a bunch and then went back to my secret home.

When I opened the door I saw the clear jade-like face of blue-haired beauty. She was trying to speak but too bad I had already gagged her mouth with a piece of cloth.

Without wasting much time I made her drink the mana restriction drug in one go. I caressed her face to feel her soft skin, she was crying non-stop but it hardly mattered to me. Soon she again lost her consciousness, I guess it was due to the drug effect.

Then I finally took out the piece of paper that the old man in the guild room had thrown for David to pick up.

When I opened it I was surprised, it was a short letter which said, “Dear David, I am a friend of your late grandfather who was a great legend rank adventurer, he saved me and my wife’s life so we promised to repay his grace but then he sadly left this world but luckily we found you, I and my wife had a great fortune to get information about the location of great emperor’s treasure, we have marked the location on the backside of the paper and wrote about way to get there, only you are destined for such great treasure.”

Reading this I looked at the back side of the paper and saw a location marked in a forest not far from our town and there was a way to get to the emperor’s tomb.

After reading it my breathing and heartbeat started increasing isn’t this the legendary chance the protagonist gets, the chance with which he can become a legend and step on all his enemies, I must get it, who knows what kind of fortune I can obtain with it. Hahaha…. Thank you !.. thank you so much, David …you just wait as I slowly take away all your cheats and rise to the top.

Soon I saw that Aushima’s eyes were fluttering, I guess it’s time for the girl to wake up. It’s time for me to now begin my plan, I guess I have to act like a scumbag this time hahaaaa!

I went near her and poured a glass full of cold water on her face, she slowly opened her sapphire eyes and was looking at me with so much grievance.

I needed to take care of her fast as I calculated that obtaining the emperor’s treasure may take up to 5 days and I can’t waste much time on her.

So I decided to went straight into the action and play my game.

“You don’t have to look so grieved, I don’t want to hurt you and I want to be your true ally.

All of this was the plan of Eve and Jasmine, they wanted me to take care of you in dark and they were the ones who provided me with mana restricting drug.”

Hearing this she was surprised so I could only continue, “If you understand just nod your head and I’ll take out the gag from your mouth”.

She nodded her head and I took out the gag from her mouth.

She finally spoke, “So it was those bitches as expected, but why did you obey them ? and why made me tied me like this, you could have just directly told me about the truth.”

” Are you dumb just think how Eve is from such a powerful noble house of swordsmen while that Jasmine is also from a top aristocratic family, I won’t even know when I got beheaded by assassins sent by them secretly if I dared to disobey them, and you …. Look this knife, you were carrying it so sneakily, probably you also wanted to kill me so I did all this to secure my safety.”

Looking at him Aushima took a while to process all information then spoke, “It’s ok, this lady now knows the truth and will not hurt you, just untie me.”

How could I give in so easily, “No … I want to take revenge against Eve and Jasmine for forcing me to work for them so I will help you to get David, I want to be your ally plus I have a great plan.”

Hearing me she finally had a change of expression on her ignorant face and she looked at me in a new light, at this point having suffered so much she couldn’t wait to take revenge against those two bitches and when she heard, he had a plan to get David, all her grievances washed away like water.

“It’s a two-fold plan you know it’s 2v2 but

Eve has strong strength and can easily kill mages with her excellent swordplay and also boast strong defence because of that round white shield she always carries behind her back, while Jasmine can also kill you easily with her super fast precise arrows guided by wind magic you have no chance in a 1v1 fight against them. So let me become strong for you, there is a strong treasure left behind by my family which only descendants of our household can use, my mother left me the map to find it and I plan to go and retrieve it, I will become stronger after getting it and can then help you to fight against them.”

Hearing it Aushima became excited as she already knew she can never win in a fair fight that’s why she always avoided direct confrontation but if she has a strong ally they can directly confront those two head-ons, she hurriedly spoke, “what’s the second part of the plan ?”

I decided it was time to pull her into my camp so I cleared my throat looked in her eyes and spoke, “the problem with you is you don’t know how to act like a girlfriend, I have been observing you and you lack the basic attitude of a girlfriend your actions are selfish in eyes of David and non-feminine, in his eyes you are currently just a relative trying to reap benefits from him, he doesn’t even see you as potential love interest.”

She burst out, “No you are lyinnnnn…. Definitely !….. you are lying.”

I just shrugged my shoulders and spoke, “Do you know what are things a girlfriend should do?

Do you know the art of seduction to keep your boyfriend away from vixens, like those two?

Do you know how to serve tea ? Do you know how to make delicious food for your loved one? Do you know how to do house chores? Do you know how to be obedient? Do you know how to completely make his heart yours?”

Hearing his sudden burst of questions she was dumbfounded in her eyes the idea was two people fall in love than live happily, she never bothered to think about these things.

She suddenly felt silent and thought maybe she isolated herself too much from the world that she was now completely unaware of such things.

She saw Elandor like the last ray of light on a dark day and spoke, “Please Elandor, please teach me how to be a good girlfriend only you can help me, you must have a way right that’s why you spoke this stuff.”

Hearing her he finally breathed a sigh of relief as his plan was working without any flaw, he finally untied her and helped her sit on the chair.

“I’m gonna help you, after all, we are now people sailing in the same boat, just travel with me and help me find my family treasure and I will guide you on how to be a good girlfriend along the way, you must listen to me, the only pity is that it may take up to 3 days for drug’s effect to worn out before you can use magic again.”

“It is okay, it’s only 3 days, I have been tolerating Eve and Jasmine for already 6 years, let’s pack our stuff and go to find your family treasure.”

Elandor had shamelessly told about the emperor’s treasure as his family’s inheritance. There was a smile on his face as they began packing for their new journey.

At the same time David who was relaxing and drinking tea suddenly felt a bad premotion, he got a feeling that there was something wrong going to happen, but he couldn’t figure out what it was, he just ignored this feeling and once again indulged in the aroma of tea he was drinking.
