My Free Will System: Transmigrating Into My Favorite Immersion Game

King Alaric suspended Lord Thane in the air by his neck, squeezing tighter and tighter as Lord Thane gasped for air, his feet kicking desperately about for a foothold.

"You...have…the power," He struggled to speak as he vigorously tried to escape Alaric's grip

Alaric scoffed, "Worthless. Give a goat a mile, and he takes ten; I should just snap your neck. It would be as easy as breathing," He sneered, "But you still have some usefulness"

"No one followed me, If they did, I would know. Elias Ashdown tried it once, remember? I know what I am doing,"

He released his grip, and Lord Thane dropped to the ground with a loud thud; he keeled over and began to gasp wildly, taking greedy breaths of air.

Queen Seraphina watched with her hands over her mouth; she had no idea King Alaric possessed that kind of strength; even in his prime years, she wasn't sure he would be capable of holding a mage of Lord Thane's caliber like that. There was something strange going on and her stomach twisted as she thought of King Alaric working for or with the demons.

'Is it true? It's starting to look like it, I don't know how else he would be able to exhibit such strength at such age' She pondered with a solemn expression

He chanted and placed his hands on his neck, "He..al," He said, and his hand donned a faint glow as the bruises around his neck began to fade and his color returned to its normal shade

King Alaric walked over to a seat and sat carefreely on it without a shred of composure.

"Now, let's get to the matter at hand. You said you had an idea on how to completely remove the Flare folk from the chessboard. Let's have it," King Alaric demanded

Thane struggled to his feet and pushed his hair back; he cleared his throat before starting, "Yes. I was thinking we just banish them completely and say that they are a stain on Elodoria, a poison. We will use the recent outburst of Carius to push the agenda further," He said with a proud smile on his face

"Hmm, that sounds good," King Alaric said, and Lord Thane's smile widened,

"We can start it as soon as possible," He said

"But," King Alaric began, "It's not good enough. They could still regroup, and that would be a bigger problem for me, seeing how emotions boost their abilities.

I need something more permanent," He said, as he stroked his beard

Lord Thane's smile disappeared, "By permanent, do you mean…to kill them?" He asked, his voice laced with a trace of concern

King Alaric smiled," Exactly! You see, that's why I chose you, you're very intelligent.

You said they were a Poison on Eldoria, that gave me an Idea. How about we poison them? We find a way to say they broke the law, and throw them all in the Cells and lace their food with poison," He suggested

"All of them?" Lord Thane asked

"All of them," King Alaric affirmed, "What's with that expression? Have you forgotten what your gain is if we pull this off successfully?" He asked as he noticed Lord Thane's dull expression

He stood up and walked to Lord Thane, he placed a hand on his shoulder, "Should I remind you?" He asked, "I can see it already; King Thane of Eldoria. Once this is done, you will become the greatest King in Eldoria, and my wife, Seraphina, will be yours for the taking. Doesn't the thought of you ravishing her drive you crazy?

You will have our backing; you have seen how strong we are; imagine having an army of demons fighting alongside your army. You won't be the King of this kingdom alone, but the King of the entire continent," He said, his voice smooth and slithering like the tongue of a snake

Hearing Alaric's promises, his resolve hardened, "Yes, let's kill them all!" He declared, "Where do we begin?" He added

"That's the spirit!" King Alaric praised him while patting his back

Queen Seraphina was lost for words, not like she needed words at the moment. The scene that unfolded before her and the words that came out of her husband's mouth left her dumbfounded.

'Thane wants to be King? What will now become of Alaric? They are going to kill all the Flares?! For what reason?! I don't see how that benefits any of the two parties in any way?' She pondered over these questions

While she was lost in thought, she accidentally knocked over a goblet, she watched helplessly as the goblet fell to the ground, making a loud clanging noise that echoed through the room.

"So here's what we're going to do—" King Alaric was yet again interrupted by the sound

Both King Alaric and Lord Thane turned toward the source of the sound, their eyes locked on the goblet, Read latest stories on m_v-l'e|m,p| y- r

"Someone is here," King Alaric frowned

Lord Thane's eyes widened, "Damn it!" He said as he pulled out his wand, "Isn't Elias Ashdown the only mage in this castle?" He asked

King Alaric's frown deepened, "I thought he was, but it appears I was wrong," He said, scanning the room, "In any case, the rat is trapped in here with us, he does not know the incantation to open up the door

The King was wrong; the intruder was not a "he," and she, in fact, did know the incantation to open the door.

The wall folded open, and the sound of bare feet slapping against tiles resounded as Queen Seraphina ran away as quickly as possible from the secret room.

"Damn it! I told you! We can not be found. I'm done, I'm done for," Lord Thane cried out

King Alaric gave him a resounding slap across the face, and that seemed to calm him down, "Easy now, do you forget that I'm the King? Nothing is going to happen to you, and besides I already have a plan to know who the rat is, in fact, I have an idea who she might be," He said, his voice taking a sinister tone as a grin curved into place on his face
