The Life of an Overpowered Elf

Chapter 23: Failed Assasination



Bree hummed merrily as she led Lester and Leroy down the hall towards the Headmasters room.

"You're making a huge mistake," Leroy yawned. "Just gonna get yourself fired, You see Oasis is a big player in the Tri-Continental Peace Council…"

"I've never heard of that before," Bree replied "and at the moment I don't frankly care, you two almost got yourselves killed,"

"Oh please, if you could take that thing down I could do it with one hand behind my back,"

"I…what!?" Bree looked at Leroy with sincere confusion "I literally proved I was the one who beat Argit in a fight, how does killing something prove you could do it? I didn't even do it I had my maid do it,"

"Boom just outed yourself, you probably had that maid fight Argit and just took the credit, being such a busy guy Argit wouldn't have time to fact-check you, checkmate sucker, I know you're just a weak leader hiding behind her powerful pawns,"

"Your determination to belittle me is almost as impressive as it is stupid," Bree decided as they arrived at Mila's office, Bree knocked and after a moment was greeted by the Cyclops girl she had seen when she peeked into the office, she had two small horns and was wearing a three-piece suit.

"How may I assist you today madam?" She asked kindly.

"I'd like to talk with Mila," Bree replied simply.

"Mila?" The Cyclops looked confused for a moment before cracking a smile "Oh you must be Lady Bree, do come in ma'am," The Cyclops let them in before calling out loudly "Headmistress Milena, Visiting Queen Bree of Melodia has come to have words with you," Mila looked up for a pile of documents and smiled.

"Ah, I wondered how long it'd take for you to come and say hi, so what happened, Troubled class do anything too bad?"

"These two stole enchanted honey suckles and caused a Honey Bear attack," Bree noted "I've come to ask they be punished,"

"Queen Milena," Leroy said in a proper tone "Such an honor to meet you, I am Prince Leroy Snicket of Oasis, and I must apologize for hearing this lesser queen refer to you by such a bland name, I'm sure we could solve this problem diplomatically, of course my father will have to hear about my mistreatment by this borish Insectoid masquerading as a queen, but I'm sure a deal can be struck,"

Mila and her Cyclase looked at him, then at one another.

"Leroy Snicket?" Mila shook her head "Julie I thought we expelled this kid just before the break started '' She looked to her secretary for answers, whose eye was now glowing multiple colors, after a moment her eye went back to normal and she frowned.

"He was," She confirmed "He set fire to the auditorium before the school assembly wishing the students a good week off, the student Madeline was robbed of her award ceremony, and her mother, A noble woman from Cleminz, was so upset she got the countries leader, Demon Lord Mimzy, to register a complaint, He threatened to pull his countries funding for the school if the situation was not dealt with in a fair and just manner,"

"Mistress Milena," Leroy said with an impressive level of arrogance for someone who had just been outed as having been expelled over a week ago "I assure you, I have learned from my errors and am ready to return to my studies, now let us move on to the subject of earning my forgiveness, shall we? I will require you to sever all ties with this woman and her pitiful nation," Both Bree and Mila looked at each other, impressed at how far from reality Leroy seemed to be "I'm sure you don't want my father to become involved would you?"

"Are…are you serious?" Bree laughed at the smug look on Leroy's face "You're serious, I thought you were just trying to save face or something but you trully think you're all that and more?" Bree wheezed, breaking her usual casual facial expression and scrunching up her eyes as she laughed like mad at Leroy.

"Oh yes, laugh away you lesser Queen, but your nation will be nothing but dust in a no less than a year's time, with you leading it would be lucky to have half a year," Bree continued laughing, for a good-long moment before calming down.

"Give me a moment," She asked as her eyes began glowing. She stood in silence and Leroy waved his hands in front of her face before smiling.

"Now," He said, turning to Lester who turned to Julie.

"Lox Lotum," He laughed, a vine shot from the ground and wrapped around her waist, it wasn't exactly threatening as it had no thrones but Lester just laughed as Julie pulled at it.

"I wouldn't move if I were you," Leroy chuckled. "Lester has a bit of a problem with his magic causing things to explode," Julie went from pulling at it to freezing as she felt the unstable magic pulsating from the vine.

"Julie don't move," Mila stood up, but Leroy pointed at her in turn.

"You don't move either, or your little assistant is getting 'cut' from for more than just the pay roll," Lester chuckled as Leroy looked at Bree, who was standing in silence, her eyes still glowing. He put his hand to her face with a smile.

"Force two," Bree was shoved into the nearby wall and sat there with her eyes still glowing, Leroy turned to Mila and held his hand up, "Forc-" He cut off sharply when the door slammed off its hinges and Leroy was suddenly holding a bloody stump in front of him, He let out a caterwaul and fell to his knees as Annie glared at him.

"Hmm?" Bree blinked, her eyes no longer glowing and looked at the scene before her "Why am I in a wall?" She questioned as she pulled herself out and looked around, she ignored Leroy's cry when she saw the unstable plants and instead held up her hand.

"Lox Lotum," at her call Lesters vine turned bright green and unraveled from Julie before wrapping him up, growing large and thick, pinning his hands to his side as he screamed out in fear.

"Annie put his hand back on please," Bree asked kindly, Leroy suddenly had a hand again and immediately turned to Bree and screamed out.

"Die," He demanded as she swung at her, Bree sighed as Leroy punched her squad in the face, and broke his hand and arm in several places, he screamed in agony again and fell to the floor.

"The hell happened?" She demanded as she looked over to Mila "All I did was make like a 20-second long-distance call and everything went to hell in a handbasket,"

"they just…tried to kill me and Julie?" Mila statement sounded more like a question, as the sudden shift in what was happening had thrown her through a loop, "I should have known no one could be that stupid," Bree sighed "Alright bucko, what's the deal,"

"Screw you," Leroy spat "You'll never anything out of me, and when my father sees what you've done to me you'll be…" Bree blew into her hand before lightly smacking him across the mouth, and he went completely silent as his eyes started glowing.

"Explain," Bree demanded.

"I snuck into a bar during the break, saw a lot of bounty hunters go in, and wanted to see what it was about, Word is King Thomas is paying top dollar to whoever can give him the head of his wife,"

"Hmm," Bree shook her head as she looked over to Mila, who looked at Leroy slack-jawed before the wall to her office exploded as Argit slid to a stop and looked around.

"I was summoned," He declared with gusto before losing all bravado as he turned to Bree, "Alright so I wasn't really listening, what did you need me to do exactly?" Bree looked at him, having originally just been trying to ask him to tell her where Oasis was she smiled as she decided to change what she had summoned him for.

"Listen to this kid, he's currently unable to lie, and has something of great interest to say,"

"Hmm," Argit shook his head as Leroy told him the short story, he waited to talk till both he and Lester were taken away by the school security force, Lester to be taken into temporary custody in the school's Time-out zone that sounded like a small Prison to Bree, while Leroy was admitted into the school's hospital area to get his arm patched up before joining his brother.

"Thomas has really gone and done it now," Mila said angrily, "Worthless, traitorous, human trash. You know he and I have never even slept in the same damn bed? And then he goes and brings a fucking baby home and tells me I'm not allowed to talk to his son or I'll be beheaded for treason," Mila kicked her chair in rage, "I should be the one putting a hit on his worthless ass,"

"Political marriage," Bree said with a sigh "generally doomed to failure if I'm to be honest,"

"I always knew he had a side girl," Mila said irritably "Everyone knows it, he was with her before our parents forced us into marraige to help make peace between our nations and make it great, I didn't fucking care, I've been doing the same dam thing with my secratary since before I was forced to marry him," Julie turned red as Argit and Bree both looked at her with casual smiled.

"Nice catch," Bree whispered to Julie who just turned redder as Argit gave her a thumbs up.

"But this!?" She picked her chair up and broke it agianst her desk "A hit on my life, for what!? After decades of dealing with his self righteous bullshit he puts a hit on me!?"

"Don't worry," Argit said as he pulled the broken chair away from Mila "She can't hurt you anymore," He said in a soothing tone, Mila looked at him and he dropped it, causing it to break a little more.

"Aright I have your attention, now Mila I know your mad, but first things first someone has to talk to him, see if it really was him, now I'm gonna stay here because I doubt any would be assassin is dumb enough to make an attempt on your life when your with a literal Demon Lord, while Bree, as the one with the least fame and the one that is underestimate the most, will go talk to Thomas,"

"If you find out it was him you do whatever you want with him," Mila said before realization dawned in her eyes and she turned to Argit "I'm the Headmistress of a school, I'm not scheduled to leave these grounds for another few months, is that bastard planning to attack my school!?"

"I'm going," Bree said "Julie go help your no longer secret Girlfriend calm down," Bree cut a hole in the air and came out in front of the castle where several guards were doing their job and guarding the front entrance, as she was inside the wall they all turned their spears towards her. "Hello," politely waving at them.
