Transmigrated as Baron, Married with my Lovely Maid-Chapter 122

The chill that pierced my body forced me to open my eyes.

The scent of old leaves and the soft green light emanating from the crystal roots embedded in the wall were the first two things that greeted me as I forced myself to open them.

My previously blurry world slowly became clearer—a white stone table engraved with ancient elven symbols.

At the table sat an elf woman, exuding a graceful and gentle aura as she gazed at her clear face.

Her long, blonde hair fell straight down her back with a subtle sheen.

Her clear green eyes, combined with her pointed ears, highlighted her pure lineage, while her skin appeared smooth and radiant.

"You’re awake, Atreus Vermillion," said the elf woman, still gazing at me with her sparkling green eyes.

It was a familiar elf woman, as I had met her, and even interacted with her quite intensely, moments before.

The woman was Ilyana.

This time, I saw Ilyana as a beautiful and sexy elf woman in a white dress with gold accents that hugged her body snugly, revealing her ample cleavage.

She still sat haughtily in her chair, staring intently at me, then slowly turned her face away with a blush of embarrassment.

I was puzzled by her behavior, until I finally realized why she did so.

I was naked, my hands and feet tied with the roots of a plant that had vines growing from the wall behind me.

No wonder I woke up so cold.

"This is the second time I’ve had to face you naked like this. Did you really want to see me like this, Ilyana?" I asked in a mischievous tone.

"...despite your prowess and courage in removing your father’s seal, you’re a pervert. Do human males have such perverted tendencies?" Ilyana said curtly, still turning her face away from me, though occasionally she would peek at my lower body.

"I think any man, human or elf, would be aroused by your sexy face and body, Ilyana. I speak as an honest man because I’m not used to saying things full of hypocrisy."

As I stated that, I could see Ilyana’s face filled with mixed emotions.

Ilyana’s gaze, which had been on my face, shifted downwards, more specifically, to my cock, which was standing erect from the cold.

"...what a pervert," Ilyana muttered, turning her blushing face away from me again.

I couldn’t help but smile at her reaction.

"...when you entered here with my magical ability, your body transformed into wind, so all your magical gear had to be removed before entering Lathiar Village. The elves here can detect intruders just by using your magical gear," Ilyana continued explaining.

Ah, now I understand why my body was so naked and defenseless.

Ilyana removed my magical gear when I was forced inside by her special wind magic.

"You’re so considerate, Ilyana. Don’t the elves here welcome human guests?" I asked calmly.

"They seem to have barely known humans since Lord Vermillion hid us in this forest," Ilyana replied curtly.

"Come on, Ilyana. My father did this for your safety and that of your village. I even opened the seal my father placed so anyone could enter Lathiar Village."

"Why are you going to such lengths? You don’t seem to be on the same page as your father..." Ilyana stared into my eyes, her eyes sharp and suspicious.

"My father wanted to protect Lathiar’s elfs because he knew he didn’t have a strong army to help your village against King Victor Dragomir’s attack. But I have different ideas. I intend to seek an alliance, Ilyana Lathiar. You should know that I already have contracts with the Great Wyvern and the Terra Golem to demonstrate my seriousness."

Ilyana fell silent, shocked.

I knew she didn’t believe me, but when she saw the Black Star symbol on my right hand, she seemed at a loss for words.

"Huh...you’re saying you’re different from your father because you believe you can defeat King Victor Dragomir...? Those words seem too big for a wizard who’s naked and tied up in front of me, Atreus Vermillion," Ilyana quipped.

Ah, so these elf women are like most human women.

They want tangible proof rather than mere words.

I concentrated while controlling my breathing, and the Black Star on my right palm lit up brightly.

"WOOOSSSHHH...!"

With just a snap of my fingers, the tree roots that bound my hands, body, and feet were instantly burned away.

My body was free again.

"Y-you can destroy my elf root magic so easily...?! T-That black flame... so you’ve contracted with a golem and a dragon...!" Ilyana exclaimed with a tense expression as she rose from her chair.

I could feel the strong winds around her, as well as the magical clothing on her body emitting a bluish-green glow—a sign that she was fully prepared to fight me.

"...no need to be shy, Ilyana. You need proof, right? Strength is the most tangible proof that can change your mind, and I can show it to you. Right now," I said calmly, staring coldly at Ilyana, who was still staring at me, her body trembling.

I could have attacked Ilyana immediately with a combination of black lightning and black flame, but I didn’t choose that solution because it would have been easy and boring.

I remained still, on guard with the black flame roared on my body while enjoying Ilyana trembling in fear of seeing me.

"You’re crazy! You think a contract with just one golem and one dragon is enough to fight the cruel and ruthless Dragomir kingdom...?! He even managed to split King Bahamut into three pieces and seal them away! No one can match his power!" Ilyana exclaimed.

"You’re right about King Bahamut, Ilyana... but I’ve already begun moving towards Aaren’s golden palace to seize control of King Bahamut’s pieces. I’m building my strength to challenge Dragomir’s hegemony, and I’m confident I’m making the right move. I need a strong, united, and loyal alliance. I need elves to help me fight, too," I said, calmly approaching Ilyana.

I knew approaching her naked like this while speaking seriously might seem strange, but I had to appear convincing, whatever the circumstances.

"Instead of thinking about King Bahamut, why don’t we consider the problem closest to us, Ilyana? I know you want to uncover the hidden problem on Lathiar Village," I said calmly.

"W-why did you even think that...?" Ilyana asked, half-doubtingly.

"You said it yourself, Ilyana. You managed to break through my forces with your skills and launch your attack before I was even dressed. If you were an enemy who wanted me dead, I would have finished you off right then and there without hesitation. But you’re not that shallow. I know there’s a major problem you want to solve in Lathiar Village, enough to chase me to Fort Vermillion. Ultimately, you wanted me here because you didn’t know who else to turn to for help, Ilyana. Just admit that my words are true."

Ilyana remained silent, her mouth agape, unable to form any words.

Ilyana saw her wind magic briefly subside due to her hesitation to fight me, but it only lasted a few seconds before she finally reawakened it.

Ilyana remained silent, but when I saw her lips move, I knew she was struggling to express the problem plaguing her village.

"Since Lord Vermillion sealed Lathiar Village, I must admit, our village has become safe. But a new problem has arisen... golems have come to attack our village. And the elves in Lathiar Village are dwindling, dying from the relentless golem attacks."

I paused for a moment when Ilyana began to speak up about her problem.

"Golem, huh... good. I never thought there would be a golem hiding in the Vermillion Fortress area," I said calmly.

"You may have the Terra Golem, but this one isn’t just any golem you can defeat! You may have the Black Star, but if you can’t defeat me, then I have no reason to trust you, Atreus Vermillion...!"

Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew from Ilyana.

She was already in a battle-ready position.

Within seconds, she shot forward, accompanied by a strong gust of wind that was about to hit me.

Considering my body without Magical Gear, I knew my magical abilities were diminished.

However, as long as I still had the Black Star, I was confident enough to fight Ilyana.

Countering Ilyana’s wind magic, a wind magic unique to the elves, was tricky because it couldn’t compete with black wind magic, which would simply form a destructive typhoon.

Even if I used black fire magic, the resulting typhoon would still be the same, and even worse, the black flames would spread and incinerate the entire room.

In the split second before the strong gust of wind hit me, I decided to use black earth magic.

I amplified my black earth magic, increasing its defensive power exponentially, fourfold.

With a single stomp, the wooden floor I was standing on lifted and transformed into a solid, black wooden pillar.

I stood tall.

The strong wind that had come like a tsunami, about to devour me, was immediately split apart when it struck the ebony pole that was the manifestation of my black earth magic.

"WOOOSHHH....!"

"W-what...?! My wind magic...?!"

Ilyana gaped in disbelief as her roaring wind seemed to split into two smaller, disappearing gusts, instead of spiraling into a single, enlarging typhoon eye that wreaked havoc.

Aware of her failure, Ilyana immediately sped away, grabbing the dagger hidden at her sexy waist.

She used the same method as when she had tried to hunt me in my room.

And this time, there was no Cecile to help me withstand her swift physical attacks.

But that didn’t mean I wasn’t anticipating Ilyana’s agile movements.

I grabbed the ebony pole and concentrated on expanding the area of ​​damage from my black earth magic.

In mere seconds, the ebony staff re-entered the wooden floor and transformed into ebony roots that spread rapidly, enveloping Ilyana’s body, already very close to me.

Right before my eyes, I saw the tip of Ilyana’s dagger halted by the ebony roots that now bound her hands, body, and legs.

When I clenched my fists, the ebony roots tightened, causing her to groan in pain.

"Ahhh..."

Ilyana lost her strength and let out a sigh.

The elven woman knelt before me, her body bound by the strong ebony roots, which were absorbing her magical energy, dimming the turquoise light emanating from her magical robe.

I took the dagger that was no longer in Ilyana’s grasp and pointed the tip at her neck, causing her to choke silently, unable to say anything but admit defeat.

"I’ve proven my strength, Ilyana. Now give me some proper clothes. I don’t want to walk through Lathiar Village naked like this," I said firmly.

Ilyana did not immediately reply.

She was still silent with irregular breathing.

In fact, her body was sweating profusely so that her fitting and sexy dress was partially open, revealing her plump and pink breasts.

Gradually, I felt something strange in the flow of his magic.

At first Ilyana’s magic flow weakened, but at some point, there was a new flow of magic that emerged from within Ilyana’s body.

The new flow of magic began to take over Ilyana’s body so that I could see green magical lines sculpted and emitting bright green light along her arms, legs and ripe breasts.

I don’t feel that the new flow of magic is a manifestation of possession as a result of the manipulation spell, which means that the new flow of magic that is taking over Ilyana is indeed purely from her heart which she has been holding back for a long time.

I gripped Ilyana’s dagger tightly, preparing to defend myself in case Ilyana suddenly attacked me wildly.

I deliberately loosened the ebony roots that bound her arms, then—

"Oh..."

I don’t know if I was delusional or not, but it seems I wasn’t seeing things correctly—Ilyana grabbed my cock with her right hand.

Her mouth was wide open with her tongue protruding, ready to suck on my cock.

Her lustful gaze, along with her body warm with arousal, indicated that Ilyana was truly in a state of deep desire.

"Atreus Vermillion...I want your...big, fat cock..."
