Destroying My Own World

Chapter 317 Notorious Criminals.

"I know you just came back, but I need to know what happened during your conversation with Melissa," Elestria said as she looked at Mykel who had just entered her chamber since it was in the middle of the night.

"She will do whatever Your Highness ordered her to do. She's thankful for the help and for saving Zachary," Mykel answered and didn't dare to look at Elestria who was in her almost see-through sleeping dress. "She will come to pay a visit once Zachary recovered to show her gratitude," he added.

Elestria smiled and chuckled to show her satisfaction because she had Melissa in her hands now. A single congresswoman would be enough to take over the Verdentia Republic.

"You have done so many great feats, Mykel. I would be shameless if I didn't reward you plentifully. Now tell me what you want," Elestria said as she hugged her left leg and rested her left cheek on her knee.

"My apologies, Your Highness. I can't think of anything right now because I'm distracted by something else," Mykel answered and kept staring at the wall in front of him.

Elestria slowly smiled and put down her left leg, letting her body be seen fully by Mykel. She wanted to test him, and so she got up from the bed and showed her body where the dress was barely covering her crotch.

"Were you having an indecent thought?" Elestria asked as she walked toward Mykel with her eyebrows raised.

Mykel closed his eyes and didn't say anything, but he could tell that Elestria was getting closer and closer. He knew she was teasing him and tried to test him out, but what she didn't realize was that she was fooling herself, pretending that she wasn't interested in him.

"A man will be a man, Your Highness," Mykel said with his eyes still closed. "If you think I won't carry you back to the bed and lie on top of you, you're wrong," he said and glanced at Elestria's eyes from the corner of his eyes.

Elestria stopped moving, but it was already too late because she was already standing beside Mykel. She was afraid that Mykel would do what he warned her to do, and her chest was pounding so fast.

"Good night, Your Highness. Have a sweet dream," Mykel said and then left.

Elestria was baffled that Mykel didn't do what he warned her to, and deep down she felt rejected. She had mixed feelings of fear, anger, disappointment, and relief at the same time. She didn't know what to feel, and so she went back to bed, thinking about what had happened until she fell asleep.

It hadn't been a week, but the same thing happened in Dystrovia nation, the eleventh rift was opened. This time, nobody was prepared for it and nobody dared to even try after knowing how terrifying it was to fight a demon like Alion and Sinestra.

Elestria was walking in the hallway with Melissa who came to show her gratitude and to repay Elestria's grace. Suddenly, Elestria stopped walking when she saw Mykel and Elysande in the garden laughing, and how Elysande touched Mykel's arm, showing how close they were. The world looked like it belonged to those two and didn't care about anything else.

"I have never seen Lady Elysande look so happy like that," Melissa said.

"Me neither," Elestria responded and started to understand the feeling inside her, the jealousy and anxiety.@@@@

Mykel left the room and Zachary didn't have a choice but to follow him to persuade him that it wasn't a good idea. Those people were super villains and nothing good would come out if they were out of the island. But it was futile because Mykel ignored his reasoning and went straight to Elestria's office.

Mykel barged into the office and startled the three of them who were enjoying their tea. They looked at Zachary who looked anxious, and then they looked at Mykel with a cigarette in his mouth, staring at Elestria.

"Your Highness, allow me to go to the Isola Key Island," Mykel said without hesitation.

They were surprised when they heard Isola Key Island's name and suddenly Mykel requested to go there out of the blue.

"What for?" Elestria asked.

"To subdue the potential partner for me," Mykel answered.

Elestria glanced at Elysande and she saw how shocked Elysande was and realized that Elysande had nothing to do with it. She then looked at Zachary and noticed that it might be because of the conversation they had. She thought about it and how risky it was to bring notorious criminals to the Faelethria Kingdom, but if Mykel did manage to subdue them, it only brought more power for her. She also knew about Melissa's late father wanting to bring Sabel Salvage to the Verdentia Kingdom but was prevented by the congress.

"Take this," Elestria grabbed a seal from her pocket and then tossed it to Mykel. "Nobody would stop you from entering the island with that," she added.

Mykel looked at the same symbol on his suit, the seal of the Queen of Faelethria.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Mykel bowed his head and then left the room, leaving Elysande, Zachary, and Melissa in shock.

"Zach. Join him," Melissa looked at Zachary. "I believe it would be more fun for you to accompany him than stay here. But, that's if Her Majesty gives her permission," she looked at Elestria.

"Go. Mykel might need your help," Elestria nodded her head.

Zachary bowed his head and hurriedly left to catch up on Mykel.

"You know the island is bigger than Faelethria Kingdom. How are you going to subdue them all?" Zachary asked and walked alongside Mykel.

"I don't need all of them. I just need those five," Mykel answered. "They're at war, and none of them are on friendly terms as you said. It would be an easy task if we just attack them one by one," he added.

"What if they realized that you're a threat and decided to band together?" Zachary asked.

"That would be more fun," Mykel answered and started smiling.
