Mafia Takeover

Chapter Nine: Hidden King of Alphelandra

Lord Byakuran took Elodia to the country of Alphenlandra and she noticed it was nothing like the jungle scenery of the Milliefiore's capitol, but it was quite a sight. The whole entire land had nothing but green wide leaves with white stripes and a variety of color in the flower in the middle of each plant. The sight of these plants went on for miles until the plane had reached the Alphenlandra borders.

"What are we doing here, Lord Byakuran?" Elodia asked, but her gaze never left the intriguing striped plants.

"To see if your idea works" he replied. The plane landed on a platform in the middle of the country's capital city. A group of soldiers dressed in the Millefiores attire surrounded the plane and two attendants greeted Elodia and Lord Byakuran. Crowds of people were gathered around the platform and they spat words of hatred and vengeance towards Lord Byakuran, which being him, just laughed it off and waved at the crowd. Elodia stared at him wandering what made these people hate him so much. More soldiers appeared and cleared a path between the people where a white truck pulled up. Lord Byakuran and Elodia were hurried into the truck and the driver drove off, along with a dozen soldiers following in front and behind the car. Elodia stared out of the tented window; the majority of the people were holding up white boards with words of hatred towards Lord Byakuran and worse the signature with their fingers were very crude. She glanced at Lord Byakuran who was busy munching on a bag of marshmallows that she didn't know he had.

"You want to know why they hate me right?" He said, staring at her with complex lavender eyes. She nodded her head in compliance. Lord Byakuran chuckled softly and his eyes drifted into the past.

"I guess it started when I killed the first king, hm what was his name... Ah it was Lancia, King Lancia" Lord Byakuran cheered.

"This country adored him so much they saw him as their own emperor, but sadly he decided to disobey a certain order of mine and I got rid of him and replaced the King with someone who'll do anything I say"

"Is that so?" Elodia said or more sneered. Lord Byakuran bared his lavender eyes.

"At first Gamma-kun was like my own little dog, but he's grown attached to these people and has began to disregard my commands-"

"-Are we here for that reason?" Elodia interrupted, the emperor smirked wickedly.

"Straight to the point, I like that about you my sweet foxglove" she rolled her eyes.

"He might die today, depending on what happens". The car stopped in front of a large oddly green manor and even more odd engulfing it was millions maybe more bolts of electricity. Elodia and Lord Byakuran were led to the main entrance and for a minute the electricity was shut off just so they could enter, and it was quickly turned back on. No one could get in or come out. An attendant led the duo through many hallways leaving them in a grand room, with a pure crimson carpet leading to a golden throne. Lord Byakuran sat in it, knowing very well that the seat didn't belong to him, and beckoned Elodia to stand next to him with a finger. It wasn't long when the doors to the throne room opened and a man with pale blonde hair and dark eyes entered the room. Elodia blushed lightly for the man was wearing no shirt and had a very well built body. He wore only black pants and white boots. He glared angrily at Lord Byakuran,

"What the hell are you doing here?" he growled earning a loud whistle from Lord Byakuran. Elodia's eyes widened in shock of he man's rudeness towards the emperor.

"I don't know, you tell me Gamma-kun?" Lord Byakuran responded adding a complex smirk. Gamma burrowed his blonde brows and walked swiftly down the crimson carpet. Elodia stepped in front of the throne,

"Lord Byakuran is not pleased with the citizens revolting against him, we simply want you to fix their minds, and if not, this country will be wiped out" Elodia said sternly. Gamma stopped and stared at her for a moment before an askew smile crept upon his face. Lord Byakuran raised a brow in interest.

"So your the new advisor for this monster" he sneered, Elodia did not lose her composure.

"I won't disagree with you, but you wanted to know why we're here so don't change the subject" Lord Byakuran laughed softly; he was too surprised of Elodia's act and how well she delivered it.

"That's enough Elodia-Chan-" Lord Byakuran said,

"I'll handle this, why don't you go explore the manor?" Elodia turned to him ready to protest, but remembered her true purpose of even being around him and turned on her heels and left the room. Lord Byakuran laughed again,

"Isn't she great!" Gamma was indeed impressed with Elodia, for such a young girl to take charge like that was definitely a turn on. But he disregarded her and put his full attention on Lord Byakuran. And the emperor stared at him with a scary look of impatience imprinted on his face.

"Well Gamma-kun, can you change the citizens minds about me. This country may be a main trade route but your becoming a serious hindrance to me. The last thing I need is for the other countries to get any ideas"

Elodia had wondered into one of the bedrooms in the manor. It wasn't quite as large as the other rooms she found and she was fine with that. She didn't like very big spaces, and the smaller a room the more it reminded her of her home in Kokuyo. She was deeply missing her true lord, and lied on the green bed with exhaustion. She was still confused of how to kill such a powerful man. Lord Byakuran certainly wasn't a fool and probably was already suspicious enough of her stay here. After all she was sent from Lord Mukuro, who, even though hidden very well, didn't like Lord Byakuran whatsoever. At moments like this she really missed her twin. The only one who could successfully comfort her and make her laugh no matter how horrible the situation. Elodia sighed and closed her eyes and let sleep overcome her.
