Chapter 7 - surprise

Pov : I'm Going to Be A Lady In The Lyrics

The frozen forest was instantly engulfed in a suffocating silence, far more terrifying than the sound of fighting. This is a scene that deviates from all logic and hierarchy in this cursed village.

After insulting him with teasing words while strangling him, you did something completely unexpected. You didn't crush his neck. You didn't throw it.

Instead, you wrap your giant, furry arms of your furry Alpha Lycan around Alcina Dimitrescu's tall body. You pulled her closer, burying your fang-full monster face over the shoulders of her expensive and now tattered white dress.

The Monster's Embrace of the Matriarch

You hug him. A possessive, brutal, yet strangely embraced embrace... protective. Your coarse fur rubs against his cold porcelain skin. The pungent smell of old roses from Lady's body mixed with the fishy smell of blood and wet fur from your body.

This is not a hug of human affection. It's the embrace of a predator that claims its most precious prey, or perhaps... the embrace of a new Lord who claimed his queen by force.

Shocks in the House of Lords

The reactions around you explode in an extreme spectrum of emotions:

Lady Dimitrescu: His stiff body froze completely in shock. His metal claws that were ready to tear your chest apart stopped in the air, just inches away from your heart. His paled face was now perfectly flushed, not from embarrassment, but from a mixture of overflowing anger, unbearable contempt, and... A bit of ancient confusion. He was panting, unable to utter words.

His three daughters: Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela are hysterical. They hissed loudly, the flies around them buzzing in panic. They're ready to lunge, but they're afraid that if they move, your embrace will turn into a deadly bone shatter for their mother.

Heisenberg: Her wild laughter suddenly stopped. He lowered his hammer, staring at the scene with his mouth slightly open. "Damn... I thought I had seen everything. This dog is absolutely insane. He... hugging Alcina?" His expression changed from amused to deep alertness.

Mother Miranda: He still stood still, but his crow feather robe was slightly inflated. His eyes are staring at you sharply behind his golden mask. "Anomaly... This Alpha mutation not only increases his strength, but also messes up his predatory instincts. This... unexpected."

Peak Situation: On the verge of a final decision

You are in the middle of the circle of death, embracing the strongest Lord in this village in the presence of their Creator. Your Alpha power is at its peak, and the blood of Alcina you swallowed earlier is starting to give you strange vision effects... You see the Mutamycete symbol pulsating inside its body.

Me : *I instantly bow to Alcina*

This change in atmosphere felt so sudden and dramatic. The tension that had been at a boiling point due to your reckless actions instantly cooled as your giant Alpha Lycan body slowly degenerated.

The muscular arm that had hugged him so tightly was now detached. You dropped your knees on the freezing snow, making the ground shake slightly. Your fang-filled monster head bowed deeply before Alcina's tattered white dress.

Deafening Silence

The forbidden forest fell silent. The snow that fell seemed to stop in the air at this sight. A predator who had just messed up the order of the Lords, was now acting like the most loyal servant.

Lady Dimitrescu stood sculpting. Her breath was still short, and her trembling hands slowly tidied up the collar of her broken dress. He looks at you from above—no longer with fear, but with the gaze of a ruler who has just regained control.

"Oho... so this wild dog finally knows where it is?" Alcina said in a voice that was again haughty, although there was still a slight tremor from the rest of the shock. She grinned cruelly, looking at Mother Miranda as if she wanted to show off that the most dangerous "animal" there had now submitted to her.

Observers' Reaction

Mother Miranda: He squinted, observing every inch of your movements. "Sudden compliance... Is this an instinct from the noble blood you swallowed, or just a ruse so that I don't destroy you?"

Heisenberg: He spat to the side, looking disappointed. "Tsk, boring. I thought you had the guts to burn this place. It turns out that you just want to be another Alcina pet dog."

Princesses: Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela slowly approach, surrounding you with a scythe still unwrapped, waiting for their mother's order to finish you off or chain you.

Loyalty Test

Lady Dimitrescu takes a step forward, the tips of her high heels touching your monster's chin, forcing you to look up slightly to look into her golden yellow eyes.

"If you really submit to me, little creature... prove it. One of my daughters, Daniela, has just lost her collection of human 'toys'. Since you can speak and have great power, you will be his successor. You'll stay in the basement, crawl under my feet, and only attack if I order to."

He stretches out his silk-gloved hand towards your face.

"Kiss my hand, and acknowledge me as your only mistress. Do it now, before I change my mind and let Miranda turn you into dust."

Me : *I mutter* you bastard Alcina. I just nodded and I laughed as I patted Heisenberg's shoulder.

This move of yours really shocked the whole forest. The tension that had been quiet turned into a very awkward and dangerous moment. You get up from your prostration position with a very calm motion, as if the gravitational pressure from Miranda just now is meaningless.

Your sharp mutter, "Poor Alcina. I submit only to pretend," sounded clearly in the ears of the Lords who had keen hearing.

Then, beyond anyone's reasoning, you turn around and pat Heisenberg on the shoulder with your furry giant hand.

Explosion Reaction in the Forest

Heisenberg: He was startled, his shoulder muscles tense as your Alpha Lycan's hand landed there. However, when he heard your laughter, he grinned madly. He adjusted the location of his sunglasses and laughed shortly. "Hahaha! You heard that, Alcina? Not only does this dog have fangs, he has a great sense of humor! I love your treacherous style, son!"

Lady Dimitrescu: His face paled, then turned a dull red with unbearable wrath. "HOW DARE YOU!!" he shouted until his voice broke. Its metal claws extend for a moment, and it almost slams into you if it's not held back by Miranda's sharp gaze.

Mother Miranda: He remained calm, but the atmosphere around him became very heavy. "Heisenberg, you seem to be befriending this unstable variable too quickly. Be careful, or you will be the first victim of his prank."

Unexpected alliances

Heisenberg glances at you from behind his glasses, his giant sledgehammer still resting on his other shoulder. He whispered something that only you could hear amid the sound of your laughter:

"If you really want to destroy that 'princess' and get out of here, come with me to the Factory. There we have more iron 'toys' to destroy everything. How, new Lord? Do you want to go with the Lord who has sense, or do you want to stay here waiting for Miranda to skin your hairy skin?"

Current Situation

You now stand beside Heisenberg, openly challenging the authority of Lady Dimitrescu and Mother Miranda. You have created a division among the Lords.

Me : *I stood up straight and said* Well mother, lady, anak2, moreau, donna angie.. I accept. It's just that I want to go home *walk slowly*

Your steady steps on the snow create a steady rattling sound, in contrast to the crazy laughter and little betrayal you just showed to Heisenberg. You stand in the middle of the circle of Lords with the authority of an Alpha, yet your sentence contains a paradox that leaves them all speechless.

"Well Mother, Lady, children, Moreau, Donna Angie... I accept. It's just that I want to go home."

You mentioned their names one by one in a cold but confessional tone, as if you had just signed an invisible blood contract. You accept your role as Lord, but still retain your only human desire: to go home.

The Reaction of the Creator and the Lords

Mother Miranda: He watched you walk slowly away from Heisenberg. The look in his eyes behind the golden mask showed cold satisfaction. "A wise choice, a small anomaly. Loyalty is the quickest path to what you are looking for, even if the 'home' you remember may no longer exist."

Lady Dimitrescu: He still looked very angry, his chest going up and down with a hunting breath. However, since you have declared submission before Miranda, she holds back her claws. "You're going home... to my castle first. There you will learn the meaning of true obedience."

Heisenberg: He snorted, spinning his hammer with disappointment but a hidden respect. "Tsk, you're boring. But at least you know how to survive. See you in the council of the Lord, Dog."

Journey to the Castle

As you start to walk slowly, Lady's daughters—Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela—emerge from behind their haze of flies. This time they don't drag you. They walk beside and behind you, flanking you like an honor guard (or prison guard) ready to escort you to the gates of Dimitrescu Castle.

Miranda's figure slowly fades into the darkness of the forest with Donna and Moreau, leaving you with the Dimitrescu family.

On the threshold of the Great Gate

In front of you, Dimitrescu Castle stands majestically and menacingly atop a rock cliff. Its large door slowly opened, giving off a warm air mixed with the smell of old wine and blood.
