In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

Gransta: "????"

...

One hand supported her slender waist, which could be encircled by a single hand, while a soft hand rested on her shoulder. The figures of the tall, masked man and the stunningly beautiful woman with silver hair gradually merged together.

In the dimly lit space, two figures, with their unsteady steps, swayed gently and twirled gracefully, displaying a unique, elfin dance.

"Ouch, be gentle..." she complained, the pain in a certain area making her frown.

"Um...maybe you're teaching it wrong."

Granstas was a little unconvinced. Since he had a physical body, his control over his limbs had become almost perfect. How could he possibly make a mistake?

"You dare question me? I mastered the Elf Dance hundreds of years ago. Can't you put your mind to it?"

She looked a little annoyed; in just a few minutes, Gransta had been stepped on countless times.

The ruler silently watched this scene unfold...

As time ticked by, Gransta mentally counted that he had stomped on Her Majesty the Queen more than thirty times, almost stomping her feet until they were swollen.

Gransta awkwardly touched his nose. It was a bit embarrassing that an ice elf couldn't learn the Dance of the Elves. Fortunately, he was currently using the alias of a human bard.

The silver-haired elf's resentful gaze almost never left Gransta; as a dance teacher, she was the most unsuccessful.

Fortunately, they managed to get through this final stage, and Gransta learned just a little bit... which caused the silver-haired elf to leave without looking back after the banquet...

"Come with me."

"Where to?"

"Here's your money back!"

Gransta was overjoyed; this was a rare opportunity to get close to the World Tree, and he followed behind the female elf.

...

In the magnificent palace, the two arrived at a room reserved for nobles. The surrounding furnishings were predominantly white and gold, a testament to the country's wealth.

The silver-haired female elf lay languidly on a chair made of emerald green vines, exquisitely carved like an artwork, with a pair of snow-white, bare feet exposed to the air, one of which was slightly tinged with red.

"Ouch, I'll teach you the Fairy Dance later... I was so stupid..." She looked at her reddened feet and glared resentfully at Gransta, who had her back to her.

Gulansta remained unmoved and could only touch his nose to ease his embarrassment.

"Your Majesty...about the two hundred gold coins?"

"Hehe, you already know who I am. How about that? Are you shocked?" She smiled mischievously, seemingly wanting to see the shocked look in Gransta's eyes.

"Turn around?"

When Granstas turned around, he saw her with her legs crossed, looking at him with an aggressive gaze.

"Isn't it already quite obvious, Your Majesty Elru Salion?"

Gulansta's gaze was calm as he looked directly into those eyes that seemed to want to see right through him, while a slight smile played on his lips.

"Doesn't His Majesty the Sorcerer King have to return my gold coins?"

He then pulled out the IOU he had forced her to sign earlier and waved it around confidently, seemingly enjoying the feeling of being pressured to pay.

Elru Salion's face immediately darkened, and he gave a soft snort before taking out a bag of gold coins.

Gransta smiled as she accepted the gold coins, tossed them into her resource library without counting them, and thought, "She's definitely a rich woman. We could work together more in the future."

When Elru Salion saw Gransta accept the gold coins, he rested his chin on his hand and scrutinized the strange man, his tone suddenly turning cold.

"Should I address you as Mr. Ice's Lament, or as the Ice Demon King?"

Her gaze was extremely authoritative, as if she had become a completely different person; a noble and powerful aura suddenly pressed down on him.

Gulansta sighed, "As expected, once the deal is done, this woman's temper changes faster than turning the pages of a book."

"You seem to be short of money?"

"You may not know this, but I have a pretty good relationship with Gazel. I've also heard that the Ice Demon King signed a huge compensation agreement with him before he left."

"And that person was you, wasn't it! You didn't really think I just invited you to come and take a look around?"

The terrifying spiritual power instantly surrounded Gransta, and the invisible elven prison sealed off the area. Elru Salion's eyes lit up slightly, and he raised his hand and pressed down into the void in front of him.

In this area, she is practically invincible. Even those with ultimate skills would be forcibly suppressed. This time, she will not let this guy escape.

Gransta's first thought was that Gazel had told Ellius Salion his information, but then he remembered Gazel's warning and dismissed the idea.

In other words, the other party was almost certain, or perhaps they were testing the waters with a bit of uncertainty before suddenly making their move against him.

The face beneath the Gransta mask suddenly broke into a smile. He remained completely unmoved by Elru Salion's attack, simply standing still in place.

Almost all of his special skills were rendered ineffective within Elru Salion's unique mental domain, but he could still use other elemental magic...

"Reporting to Lord Gransta, we have detected that the opponent has activated an aura-based skill and a field that suppresses special skills..."

"Is it fully analyzed and cracked...?"

Gransta shook his head inwardly. If he slipped away again, he might never have the chance to get close to the World Tree again.

He didn't want to put himself in such a passive position, so he first asked the Dominator to stop analyzing.

Elru Salion frowned slightly; this guy was completely unaffected by her combined aura and domain abilities.

Just then, a longsword covered in frost appeared and shot out at an extremely fast speed. Surprisingly, the Ice Demon Sword seemed to be completely unaffected by the mental field, turning into a blue light that aimed directly at Elru Salion.

Elru Salion's eyes flickered slightly, and just as she was about to react defensively, she heard a cold voice.

"【Imprisonment】"

Her eyes widened in shock, then her body froze, all her abilities rendered ineffective, and the Ice Demon Longsword appeared, pressed against her neck.

"If Your Majesty Elru Salion insists on an explanation, I wonder if this will suffice?"

He calmly walked through the temporarily disabled mental realm, grasped the hilt of the Ice Demon Sword, and used the tip of the sword to lift her chin.

Erlu Salion's eyes blazed with fury; this guy was indeed no ordinary person.

This time, Gransta didn't want to spend time analyzing her escape. He wanted to turn the tables and take her down while she was off guard, making the least of his efforts.

"I know I can only imprison you temporarily, but this is enough time..."
