As you have just read in the summary, this is a translated version of my fanfic "La reina, la caballera y la diablesa". I'm willing to know your opinion both in the translation and in the fanfiction itself. Please do tell me any thoughts you have about it. It would be very apreciated.
About the history, it contains yuri, it will contain highly suggestive scenes later on, so you're warned. The main focus is a relationship beetwen Eve and Elesis. It's such a rare pairing but I think it's a really interesting pairing. Some details on the game lore had been altered to match the fanfiction. This fanfiction is divided on three parts, this is the first one. All chapters of this first part will be uploaded if things go well. The history will stop being so "romance" focus and will start developing and Alternative Universe on part 2, if you're interested.
Without further delay, I wish you enjoy your reading as much as I enjoy writting.
It was almost dusk when the El Gang finished setting up the camp. Not far from Ranox, where there was still a small part of the forest without being burned by the volcano. Everyone had prepared the tents and gathered around a bonfire to hang out before going to sleep.
Not far from the camp, in a clearing among the ashes and scorched trees, Elsword and Elesis were in full training session. In spite of the short and unstable period of peace and tranquility of which they both refused to rest idly and maintained their exercise routine.
Both of them swung their swords without fear and without restraint, trusting one in the strength of the other, training with the aim of being at the height of the rival before the need to overcome. But this activity was interrupted by Elsword's groans.
"Dude, I'm so hungry I would eat a whole roasted Phoru, with hooves and everything"
Elesis avoided laughing at his brother's remark, but gave him anyway the end of training; they both picked up their swords and started walking towards the camp. It was then that Elesis noticed an unusual spectator.
"Hi Eve, have you come to see the masters at training?"
Leaning against the trunk of a tree was the Nemesis Nasod; she stood up as soon as Elesis greeted her.
"Actually, I wanted to ask you something, Elesis" Eve told her. "Could you come with me to Ranox"
"Now? It's almost time for dinner; aren't you going to stay at the camp?"
"Of course not, and do not worry about dinner."
Eve finished that last sentence with a slight smile, almost imperceptible, but enough to make Elesis gasp.
"So you can actually smile! Shit, I owe a hundred thousand ED to Elsword now..."
"Elesis, if you accept without question I will ignore the fact that you have bet on my expressive capacity" The smile on Eve's face was gone to leave her usual expressionless face instead
Elesis said goodbye to her brother, Eve asked him to warn the others not to wait for them, and they started walking toward Ranox. From where they were it will take about half an hour, and the sun was already about to set.
"So… what did you need from me?"
"Actually, I wanted to do something to thank you for your help in Belder, but because of the recent events I have not had the occasion"
"Oh but it's not like you had to do anything, I was just doing my duty."
"Think about it as my way of wanting to get a bit close to you."
"That reminds me, you never speak to much Eve."
"I don't speak when there's nothing to say. Also, I don't think someone from our party could give me an interesting chat."
The road began to widen as the wall around the town of Ranox could be seen, one could hear the machinery of the dwarven mines even from there.
"Well, there's that kid who's obsessed with you. You could talk about… Nasods and stuff…"
"The only thing I could talk with that insolent brat is about sticking his head in a spear."
The answer sounded dreadfully serious to Elesis.
"Oh come on, I don't like him either, but saying you want to skin him off is a bit too much."
Elesis laughed nervously, trying to calm the situation.
"I've already told you that I don't say unnecessary things. Right?"
Elesis froze for a moment when she realized Eve meant no joke about it, but them ran a little to catch up again.
"Ok, no more talking about that guy."
Eve nodded. They had already reached the gates of the city and queued for the border guards to let them in.
"Security has increased a lot, huh?"
"They just passed a crisis that could have ended not only with the destruction of the city, but of the whole world, I think they are not even being cautious enough - she stopped to give a sigh of resignation - but anyway what could they do when the only thing they were able to do was to entrust their hopes to a group of children with rosy cheeks."
Elesis laughed at Eve's remark, and they finally let them in.
"Finally, ugh… Please tell we will be able to rest and stop walking around soon."
"Do not worry, I reserved a table in the best restaurant in town for us, you said you were hungry, right?" Eve said, smiling again.
Elesis began salivating, with rather little class, as Eve guided her through the streets of Ranox. Neither of them was aware of the shadow that had been following them since they left the forest.
"Where do you think they are going, Ciel?"
"They are heading to the inn."
Lu and Ciel were hiding behind a wall; they were following Eve and Elesis for some reason. While Lu seemed actually interested, Ciel looked like he was there just out of obligation. Also, they were using a newspaper with a pair of ridiculous looking holes as costume.
The demonic couple set off keeping a safe distance from being detected by Eve or Elesis.
Just five minutes later they were both standing at the door of a posada worthy of a queen. The building was so large that Elesis was astonished to have never noticed it, as well as its luxurious and out of place appearance in contrast to Ranox's industrial environment.
"This inn has been a long time closed, when I arrived at Ranox I had no intention of stopping to sleep on the floor in a tent again, so I asked the owner to prepare the inn for my stay."
"Wait, have you reserved the whole inn for yourself?"
Eve simply nodded, Elesis couldn't believe it.
"With the amount of little villages we've already saved money is not even a worry."
"Still, don't you think it's a bit too much?"
Eve shrugged and walked into the building, once in the hall she spoke to who seemed to be the innkeeper. A man in his late thirties dressed in a blue tuxedo.
"I will go up to my room and get changed, would you wait for me in the dining room?"
"Sure"
The innkeeper accompanied Elesis to a large room full of tables, all without chairs around except her own. The dining room had been adorned with candles, silk curtains, and a lot of luxurious and unnecessary detail to mention. A very romantic atmosphere although.
Elesis was overwhelmed with so much luxury, but then she remembered that Eve was indeed Queen Nasod, so this kind of whims should be her normal day to day. Then she remembered something embarrassing. Eve went to get changed, but Elesis looked at herself. As she had been training, her boots were dirty and full of mud, her trousers had his knees torn and his ass was full of dirt because she had sat down, and to top it off she had put on his white coat with burnt ends and tips.
I'm wearing my training clothes in a room worthy of the nobility ... Nor is it that Eve gave me the opportunity to get changed, but still ... what a shame
Elesis thought about this as she looked from side to side, trying to find out the reaction of the inn's employees, who kept going from one place to another. They must have thought she had no shame to accompany a queen with such an appearance.
"Elesis, I hope you didn't felt bored while waiting – said Eve while walking in the dining room."
Eve wore a lovely black dress, with a wide skirt and lace adornments without sleeves, with long gloves matching the dress. Elesis stared at what looked like a pair of tall boots peeking out from beneath her skirt, and the way Eve choose to dress in a tight corset despite not "filling it" completely.
"Oh my… you look gorgeous Eve."
Elesis couldn't help but to look at herself again and feel bad.
"Thank you Elesis, and do not worry about your clothes, after all a Knightess shines brighter while clad in armor."
In the meantime, outside:
"The whole building had been reserved by Eve?!"
"Looks like it, trying to go in disguised as customers wouldn't work."
Lu take some time to think for a plan B, while Ciel tried to dissuade her.
"Lu, why do you insist in ruining this date?"
"Those two are up to something, I saw myself the way Eve was staring at Elesis while hiding these days. And now this."
"Maybe she was just looking for a chance to ask Elesis to have dinner with her."
"I recognize that look whenever I see it. This isn't just a "thanks" party, Eve is making a move on Elesis there."
Ciel sighted.
"So, what's in it for us?"
"Ciel, are you an idiot? I already told you, that Nasod Queen has to be MINE!"
"Why do you insist so much about that?"
"I told you, I want someone from royalty, but all the kings of this human world are ridiculous, they can not even protect their own country. But Eve looks like someone capable. And of course the detail is that ... well, she's a beauty" Lu said the latter without looking at Ciel directly.
"So…"
"Another question and I won't allow you to pat my head for a whole month."
And that was the last of Ciel complains for the night.
