Raizel left Yumina alone in the hut and advanced towards his newly acquired pets. Inside the hut Yumina remains seated, lost in her own thoughts. Raizel's words kept repeating in her head.

"You must find what you truly desire and evaluate them. Where does your heart lay?"

Raizel left her saying this, forcing the hidden sides of her heart to surface. Meaning of these words were clear to her-- they translated to 'If your not committed to me, then I have no use for you.' With all the talks about paths and future, this much was plain old obvious.

'I am obviously loyal to him, so what's the point of all this garbage serious talks. I don't understand what he wants.'

'I mean, I am already bound to him with the eternal link which makes it impossible for me to even unknowingly harm or betray him. So, is there any virtue in testing my fealty. I really don't get what his thinking.'

From her point of view, verifying her loyalty was a waste of time as she knew all her thoughts were monitored through the eternal link which won't tolerate any ill intentions towards thier master. Not to mention her mentality and emotions are affected by the link between them.

As for personal opinion, she wasn't against serving him. Infact, she felt truly in heavens in his embrace, though she suspects that the wierd mechanical voice and light screen had a hand in her feeling this way.

'And what's with that disappointed expression on his face as though I have done something wrong. He didn't do all this when we had our intimate moments and he claimed very being.'

'Then what is he upset about? Why did he say all these s.h.i.+t?'

'I DON'T GET IT... WHY... MY HEART PAINS!!' Unknowingly, Raizel's Daos were also affecting her. Her fate was already interwining with his Fate Dao and altering her emotions slowly yet not without her unconscious consent.

Deep inside Yumina knew the reason-- Raizel was mentioning her grudge against her family, something she has been nurturing for years, something that has kept her alive thought out all her trials till now. Even after the system's influence her first priority always revolves around this. But the lady herself thought she otherwise.

Yet, the first emotion she fosters after seeing Raizel conquer the wolves and goblins was killing her parents though him and his future army. Not once did she think about the safety of her new master and lover.

Yumina's thoughts became conflicting between her logic and feelings. She just wasn't acknowledging her feelings.

'Some hugs and words could never be enough to free her from the emotional shackles she built for years. I have no qualms on her about using my army for personal reasons but the fact that she refuses to realize her own emotions clouding her judgement.' Raizel thought walking towards the now kneeling goblin and wolves.

'Those emotions built up her belief system, their her way of sustaining mental health and thereby birthing the probability of betrayal. I am not foolish enough to think my eternal link is perfect. It already tried to brain wash her thoughts the moment she intended to use me. And if her emotions were too adamant then...

Throughout the endless forwardace of time, another Zena situation appearing is not an impossible possibility. Without a fully committed heart, it is impossible for her accompany me. I would rather cut her off before leaving any mental scars.' Raizel thought as he looked upon his new slaves.

"You, come here and give me a report on the a.s.sets, terren and inhabitants surrounding the village." Raizel said while pointing at the old goblin. The old greeny hurriedly came in front of him and kneeled again.

"My king, there's a map of this terren in my hut. It made it after studying our territory but to my misfortune, all the others couldn't even understand which direction is which in the map, much less use it.

It brings me great joy to finally have someone who understands the preciousness of it. It has all the territories and inhabitants marked with descriptions." The old guy was already crying comically in extreme joy. He pa.s.sionately explained all the advantages of the map.

'Finally another smart goblin has joined our ranks. As expected of the goblin king, he is indeed intelligent. Most of our race doesn't have more then basic intellect and mostly depend on their instincts.

Maybe, the king is a mage like me!!

If that's true then I could finally pa.s.s on my magic knowledge to him.' The old goblin drowned himself in fantasies and flew into wonderland, forgetting where he was.

"Oi old greeny, bring me the map." Raizel said but the old goblin was already lost daydreaming.

(...)

(Few moments later)

'What is wrong with him?' Raizel thought and the system already reported both the old goblin's state and thoughts to him. Hearing the old greeny's thoughts surprised Raizel.

'Looks like is thought process has really advanced to the human intellect level. No matter how funny his thoughts of making me his hiar is, it is also fascinating. A mage, hmm. Is that the reason behind his intelligence?

He was also the one to shout Goblin King first...but ignoring me to my face needs replied'

"HEY!! Old fu*k, wake up and bring me the map right now" Raizel shouted mildly at the old greeny awakening him from wonderland.

"Hmm, Waaaa!!!"

"Of course, my king. I'll go right away." Old greeny answers with sweet falling down his head. Just now with his shout, Raizel also used a bit of his killing intent focused on the old greeny. The old goblin was once again scared s.h.i.+tless, but his level headedness allowed him to keep calm and react correctly.

'This goblin is truly interesting. I should test his wisdom in due time' Raizel thought.

'Anyway, system translate the wolves language and form a private network between them. They should be able to understand each other.' Raizel ordered.
