Novel Full Chapter 373 Begging For Mercy
Daelia did not realize it, but she had fallen into Erich’s hands. From the moment she shared a drink with him, the enhanced truth serum, which could easily overwhelm a Germanic citizen’s NeuroLink, had entered her system, and placed her completely under Erich’s control.
Thus, without the slightest knowledge that she had just given herself away, she spoke about what she had been up to over the past three years, and in doing so revealed her true identity to Erich.
“What have I been up to the last three years? The same thing I have been doing for the last one million years! I have been running the federation from behind the scenes….”
There was a tranquil tone in Daelia’s voice as she just admitted to being the most valuable hostage Erich could have ever asked for. And in doing so not only shocked the man himself, who was unaware of the fact that the Svartalfheim Federation even had a shadow queen, but also Tia who never expected Daelia herself to step foot in Germanic space.
Erich, of course, was confused by this, and was quick to ask Daelia another question.
“I’m sorry, I don’t follow… By federation, do you mean the Svartalfheim Federation? I thought they democratically elected their leaders?”
Daelia scoffed and spoke to Erich as if he were an old friend. Completely unaware of what she was saying, or even that she was under the effect of an enhanced interrogation drug.
“Pffft. Yes, of course, everyone knows that the Svartalfheim Federation elects its leaders. On the surface at least… But the real power behind the throne has been me, ever since the foundation of the Federation all those eons ago.”
It was at this moment that Tia’s holographic projection revealed itself in front of Erich, who, of course, was the only one who could see and hear her as she spoke to him.
“I don’t believe it… In all my calculations, I never expected the infiltrator to be her… Master, you really lucked out this time around…”
Erich was, of course, confused by this, and was quick to ask about what exactly Tia was talking about.
“Tia… Who is this?”
Tia quoted a name, followed by a brief explanation, her voice was filled with bewilderment as she did so.
“Daelia Astarion… The so-called shadow queen of the dark elves… Until now, I honestly thought it was just a rumor…. After all, the exact divergence of the two primary Elven races is unclear, to say the least. But… supposedly, it began with the birth of two sisters in the Primordial Era.
One of these sisters you were quite intimate with in your previous life… And the other is sitting here in front of you right now… They are perhaps the only two beings in the universe who know what really happened all those years ago.
Erich… If you apprehend this woman… The Svartalfheim Federation will quite literally be at your mercy, and Lunaria…. She would do anything to get her hands on her sister…. You have quite literally gained yourself the most useful hostage in the galaxy….”
Erich was, of course, shocked to hear this… He did not know that Lunaria had a sister, and he never would have guessed that Lunaria and Daelia were the first of their respective races. How this was possible, Erich did not know.
But he was curious, very curious…. And he could not help but inquire further about this. Thus, he spoke up to the ancient dark Elven beauty who was masquerading as a Germanic citizen at this moment, hoping to gain some information from her.
“Daelia…. That is your name, is it not? What can you tell me about the ancient Elven Empire?”
For a moment it looked like Daelia was about to say something, speak about an ancient and forgotten secret, one that had forever changed the fate of the galaxy. But the moment she was about to say something about this matter, Daelia suddenly came back to reality.
Seemingly snapped out of the effects of the enhanced truth serum, almost instantaneously, Daelia fell to her knees, struggling to keep control over her thoughts as the serum tried to dull her consciousness once more.
“What the hell? What have you done to me? How? How did you know? Gods be damned… This is a very nasty drug you have concocted here…. Urrgh… What in the god’s name have you afflicted me with, you filthy barbarian!?!”
Daelia only seemed to be semi-conscious. Though her mind was struggling to retain control over itself, her body was incapable of even standing and walking. And because of this, Erich was quick to pull a gun on the woman.
All the while, Tia had already alerted the security who existed outside the doors, and they had barged in before Daelia could even fully gain control of her bodily functions. Pinning the woman to the ground and apprehending her on the spot.

Struggle as she might, the ancient Dark Elven shadow queen could only scream insults at Erich as she was hauled off to the Citadel’s dark dungeons where only despair existed.
“You bastard! Let me go this instant! Do you have any idea how screwed you are once the federation finds out what you have done to me?”
Erich, however, was quick to smirk, as he responded back to the woman with a haughty tone in his voice.
“I wonder how Lunaria will reward me when she finds out I have taken her beloved sister as my prisoner…”
Daelia’s blue eyes opened wide as she fell to her knees, almost as if she had lost control of her legs yet again. She grovelled on the floor before Erich, humbling herself in a way she had never done in all the millions of years of her existence.
Begging the man not to follow through with the threat he just made. Because she knew exactly what horrors awaited her, and her people should her older sister get her hands on her.
“I beg you! Mercy! Mercy! I will do anything you desire… Just don’t tell my sister that you have me….”
Erich’s wicked sneer grew even more malicious as he walked over to the bound Dark Elven beauty, and grabbed hold of her dainty chin, before asking her to repeat herself.
“Oh really? You will do anything I ask. Am I hearing that correctly?”
This statement gave off a bad omen to the woman who had only now realized just how badly she had screwed up. Even if she did not know how her master plan had failed.
