Colonial empires in a world ruled by elves

A reasonable request

When the elf prince opened his eyes, he realized that he was in a strange place. He could also feel a horrible pain in his head.

But despite that, he could not do absolutely anything because he felt too weak. It was at that moment that he could see how the door of the room was opened.

In order to let in a woman he wanted to see, he felt a completely new attraction to seeing her.

Drusilla realized that the elf had awakened, so she smiled and spoke in elvish.

“I see that you have woken up. Please stay completely relaxed because you are going to feel extremely weak because you have just undergone a head operation where we open your skull to allow your brain to release the pressure that was occurring.

It is a completely safe operation because I personally participate in it so right now the least you should do is move.

But can you understand my words? “

The elf simply looked at Drusilla and slowly shook his head so that he could affirm that he understood the words.

Drusilla smiled “Very well, since you understand my words I will continue explaining to you, to begin with you will feel quite weak because you have been sleeping for approximately 5 days, so it is normal for your body to feel weak.

This is because the muscles are atrophying because of the lack of exercise you are having. In a few more days, we will start with recovery therapies so that you can walk again and regain the strength of your whole body.

But at the moment, I have to change your bandages, because these can get infected and then your life could be at risk.

It might hurt a bit but I ask you to be strong, you can be sure that I will do it with the greatest possible care. “

After those words, Drusilla walked towards the elf and with her hands began to slowly remove the bandage, exposing the horrible scar in the middle of her head.

But which was completely free of any infection or symptoms that could denote that there was something wrong, using a little Drusilla alcohol to clean the wound very carefully.

Afterwards, he placed the new bandage carefully, when Drusilla had finished adjusting the elf’s head on a pillow, and took his vital signs to find out his state of health.

“The soldiers told me that you should be an elf prince. That’s quite surprising because I’m sure your life was quite special.

But there is something I want to know why I do so much harm to human beings and to any species other than an elf.

What do you gain by doing such deplorable actions? I mean, in our world there was slavery, but even we have limits on what to do and what not to do.

But you seem to simply be obsessed with destroying any species that is not an elf, you are committing a true g******e and the worst thing is that you do not realize that you are doing it.

Humans, half-elves, dwarves, orcs, and any other humanoid creature with a conscience are being killed right now by you.

They are even sacrificing innocent people to be able to maintain an army of skeletons that is a true g******e at a higher level; I do not expect you to understand me or that you do not understand all the pain and suffering that I am feeling at this moment.

I just hope that from your position of power, you can do something to prevent this from happening. You are an elf prince. You could help end this war where no one is winning.

If we continue in this way, the two sides will end up seriously damaged and the number of deaths can actually be millions. The war that is being waged is not a war for territory or because we want to make colonies.

It is simply because of the liberation of all beings that are being prohibited by you; I know that it can be difficult to understand my words when you have lived doing that.

But they must understand that everything they are doing is wrong because it is not only slavery that we are talking about, it is a fundamental right.

Although for this you should first see what life is like for us human beings, so that you understand that although we may seem like simple beings, we are really complex.

I just hope that my words have opened up a little the panorama of what it is that I want you to be able to do for us.

You will have the final decision, but you should know that you will have to make it sooner or later, for the moment's rest. In an hour, a nurse will come to give you some food.

Remember to keep calm and do not try to do anything, as there are security guards throughout the building and you have a black stone in your body to inhibit your magical abilities. “

After those words, Drusilla left the room, leaving the elf, looking sadly at the door.

During the following days, the elf was recovering, and when he was much better, he waited for Drusilla to arrive so he could start talking.

As Drusilla changed the bandages, the elf sighed, “I did not know that you human beings could be more than slaves.

I never had a fascination for slaves, nor did I do the horrible things they suffered. I may be a prince, but I am the youngest son.

So my courage is too low to be able to claim the throne, not to mention that my father must consider me dead because of the outcome of the battlefield.

But I am willing to help in any way I can, as long as you can be with me. “

Drusilla smiled and laughed, “Well, if that helps to end this war more quickly and with fewer deaths, I am willing to spend time with you.

You just have to know that I am a busy woman, because as a doctor my duty is to take care of any kind of wounded, regardless of the species.

As long as I can do something to help, I will do everything necessary as it is my Hippocratic swear to me. “

The elf, who was quite happy, looked at Drusilla. “I thought you were going to refuse.”

Drusilla shook her head “Although it is a strange request, you are not asking me to do something that I cannot do, nor are you disrespecting me.

I only ask for your patience in case I am very busy, but my work requires a lot of my time.“
