The Prince Seduces Me with His Body Chapter 142

Kyaaaak!

 

The wolf let out a fierce howl as it blocked Daisy’s path, and something extraordinary happened. A faint violet mist briefly swirled around the wolf’s body before dissipating. A sharp voice echoed loudly in Daisy’s mind.

 

<What are you doing, human? Snap out of it!>

 

“…Huh?” Daisy stood in a daze, her mouth slightly open, struggling to comprehend the situation.

 

Just now… Did the monster speak to me directly in my mind…? But wasn’t that how spirits communicate?

 

“Ah…!”

 

Lombard, the boy, approached Daisy while she was still confused. Frowning deeply, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her, pushing her toward the direction where people were fleeing. His irritated expression seemed to say, ‘Why are you standing around like an idiot? Run!’

 

“Daisy!”

 

“Are you okay?”

 

Just then, the other elementalists, having finished their battles in their respective areas, arrived to help. Thanks to their timely assistance, the situation was quickly resolved.

 

Daisy, who had collapsed from coughing up blood, was carried to a bed, where she regained consciousness later that night. It was only then that she could tell her comrades about what she had experienced.

 

“So, you’re saying… you heard the monster’s voice? In your head?”

 

“Yes…” Daisy nodded nervously.

 

The elementalists exchanged uneasy glances. Based on what she said, the logical conclusion would be that she had lost her mind. But because it was Daisy, they couldn’t dismiss it so easily.

 

Finally, Niota cautiously spoke on behalf of the group. “Daisy, wouldn’t it be best to summon the spirit king and ask? That would be the most reliable way to know for sure.”

 

Among them, only Daisy had a contract with a spirit king. It was reasonable to assume that a spirit king would know more than a higher-level spirit. Daisy agreed with Niota’s suggestion, and as soon as she had recovered enough, she summoned Rollin again.

 

“What did it say over there? Were you able to have a conversation…?” Daisy asked cautiously.

 

Rollin seemed to be in conversation with the wolf for a while before turning to answer.

 

<I asked about the things you were curious about. And while I don’t know why, that creature… is indeed a spirit.>

 

Rollin conveyed the wolf’s words to Daisy.

 

<Lombard Dihanis, it seemed, had been a child abandoned in the forest by humans who could no longer survive due to the monsters. The wolf, in a moment of impulse, had spared the child and taken him back to its cave. Over time, it grew attached to the boy and raised him like its own.>

 

“And what else?”

 

<…It asked for help.>

 

“What kind of help?”

 

<Even though it has become a spirit, it still retains the characteristics of a monster, like the sweet allure of blood. It asked me to help it suppress its monstrous nature. It doesn’t want to harm the boy.>

 

“…” Daisy remained silent, her expression somber.

 

Monsters were instinctively drawn to killing and the scent of blood. In fact, they were even more primal and instinct-driven than ordinary beasts. To think that such a creature, despite its instincts, had cared for a human child for over ten years… Daisy couldn’t fathom the depth of such a burden.

 

Maybe it became a spirit because of that heart. A noble heart that wanted to protect Lombard and other living beings, even at the cost of suppressing its instincts. Perhaps that was the very reason the monster transformed into a spirit. Even Rollin, the spirit king, couldn’t say for certain, but Daisy believed it to be true.

 

“But is there a way to help?”

 

<Well… It seems a new type of spirit has indeed been born, but that creature isn’t yet a spirit king. It’s closer to a higher-level spirit. So, a king to represent them must emerge first, and only then will other spirits of that kind follow. It’s only then that it will truly be a spirit.>

 

After Rollin finished speaking, Daisy, who had been deep in thought, suddenly blurted out. “Then can’t you take on the role as well?”

 

<What?>

 

“Maybe ‘dual role’ is a weird way to put it… But since you’re a king already… hmm… how about a ‘united Spirit King’?”

 

<…If you’d said that in front of the other spirit kings, you’d have been hit with a water or fire bolt by now.>

 

“Hehe, sorry. But, what’s the conclusion? Can you do it?” Daisy grinned sheepishly, tilting her head.

 

Rollin shook its head, unable to hide its exasperation, and let out a deep sigh.

 

<… It’s possible. However, there’s a high risk that our contract will be severed in the process. Are you okay with that?>

 

“Well… as long as you’re okay with it.”

 

<What my contractor wishes is what I wish.>

 

“No, I want you to make your own decisions and live your life according to your own will.”

 

<…>

 

Rollin couldn’t help but chuckle softly at her words.

 

Daisy, the one who had been born with the perfect vessel to bring Rollin into the world. Its benefactor was not only strong but also so warm-hearted. So, it was impossible for Rollin not to love her.

 

<Even if the contract is broken, I can still stay by your side. It seems that boy Lombard’s vessel is large enough to hold me. While I won’t be able to speak to you directly, I can communicate through Lombard.>

 

“Gasp, really? That’s a relief!”

 

From that point, Rollin used Daisy’s power to declare itself the spirit king of ‘dark’. As a result, their contract was severed, and with the transformation, its name changed to ‘Amrien.’

 

With Amrien’s help, the wolf spirit, now named Yuro, and Lombard decided to stay with Daisy, both out of gratitude and affection. Daisy’s weakened state was compensated by Lombard’s addition to the group, which the other elementalists welcomed.

 

Because Rollin, now Amrien, had formed a contract with Lombard, Daisy naturally had to stay close to Lombard to communicate with Amrien.

 

During this time, they made several discoveries. One was that through contact between a light-attribute elementalist and a dark-attribute elementalist, they could transfer mana to each other. Not just ordinary mana from nature, but true mana, which determined the size of the ‘vessel.’

 

The true mana would naturally flow from the one with more to the one with less. The longer and more frequent the contact, the more mana would be transferred. Thanks to this, Daisy was able to regain a vessel of nearly the same size as before, if not completely.

 

The other discovery was that contact between a light-attribute elementalist and a dark-attribute elementalist brought a sense of mutual stability. Amrien speculated that this was because it’s now governed both light and darkness simultaneously. It had chosen to become the king of dark spirits to help Yuro suppress its primal nature and avoid harming anyone.

 

Thus, by the time Daisy successfully drove her sword into the heart of the demonic dragon, she and Lombard had become lovers.

 

“We decided to get married. On the founding day.”

 

After the demonic dragon was defeated, people chanted the names of the warriors who had slain it, fervently wishing for Daisy to become their emperor. Unable to ignore their pleas, Daisy accepted the throne, and on the day the imperial palace site was chosen, she announced her marriage to Lombard, holding his hand tightly in front of the other elementalists.

 

At that moment, Niota felt his heart shatter, but he forced a smile and congratulated them. “…Congratulations, you two.” He smiled like an angel, hiding the agony tearing at his heart. But his eyes held a deadly, venomous glint. I have to kill him.

 

Every time he saw Daisy growing closer to Lombard, Niota had convinced himself that in the end, she would stand by his side. But it now seemed she was determined to hold on to that beast until the end. Niota couldn’t accept that.

 

“Please, don’t get up. I’m just passing through. But… is that the blueprint? Would you mind if I offered a few suggestions…?”

 

It was that very night, after hearing the news of Daisy and Lombard’s wedding, that Niota secretly visited the imperial palace architect.
