The Extra's Indifference

I began to make my way toward the prey I had chosen to hunt.

I wasn't hungry and wasn't gluttonous either as I even had a habit of forgetting to eat something if Aria doesn't remind me.

However, hunting this prey was the best course of action as I thought that we needed to store food for us, as much as we can.

I didn't know what it was and didn't care either. I would probably eat some human flesh if I really needed to. There wasn't any disgust in me towards this thought because of my curse.

Anyway, when I got closer to this living thing, I stopped.

I wasn't going to kill it with magic, because mana fiends were more sensitive to mana than humans. So it could probably sense my magical attack even before it materialized in the air.

Although I wasn't going to use magic, my physical strength was enough for this beast, as I examined it with my aura and found out that it was physically weaker than me.

All I needed to do was to break its neck or punch its head to kill it instantly without spilling too much blood and causing the noise.

That is why, with a snail's pace, I passed through 20 meters in 5 minutes and arrived in front of a yellowish bush that was about a meter.

There was a light breathing noise in this bush. Killing the beast in the bushes would make lots of noise but I didn't care too much, because all the noise I was about to make would last about a second or 2.

I lifted my leg over to the bush and was about to drop it with a fast movement, I heard a familiar noise.

"Mama… "

I immediately stopped my leg before it crushed the bush and made a bloody desert for the beasts.

I moved the leaves of the bush with a quick but still quiet move and there I saw a blonde-haired female human, who was sleeping in a fetal position.

This female human was none other than Amelia. The daughter of the bishop of Ilelia.

I didn't know why she was there but there was no need for me to know either.

'I should kill her. It would be hard to babysit her in a forbidden zone.' I thought and brought my hand towards her throat to squeeze it to a pulp.

But I stopped again. I thought that she would be good bait for monsters or I might have used her to find out more about this fate thingy she was obsessed with.

There was no need to kill this woman while I could use her more, maybe even tame her.

Fear was one of the most powerful emotions and it was easy to use.

All she needed to know was that, if she obeys my orders, I will protect her.

And if she doesn't obey my orders and acts like a spoiled little bitch, then I will kill her or throw her in front of a vicious monster, who loves to torture.

I just had to make her notice my intentions to feel the fear of death. After that, her brain will do the work for me, as every human brain's priority is the life of its body. So it will slowly change the mindset of Amelia to be submissive towards me to save Amelia's life. It was like Stockholm syndrome but at the same time not, the brain was a mysterious thing to play with.

Anyway, I had to first instill fear in her and make her know her place. Which I knew the best way to do that.

I crouched on her side and touched Amelia's lips lightly but it was enough to wake her up. Her eyes opened instantly as she was sleeping rather lightly, probably it was caused by the fear of being alone in this eerie forest.

She opened her mouth as she was about to scream but I pressed my palm to her mouth, making her shut up. Then I grabbed her throat with my other hand and sharply looked into her eyes.

"Don't make any noise or I will kill you." I whispered into her ear with a cold tone enough to make her tremble.

She nodded frantically as I pressed her throat and her sapphire-like eyes got moist with tears.

After that, I got up and waited for Amelia to recover herself from the shock I caused her.

Fortunately, it didn't last long and she got up with staggering steps and looked at me with some fear in her eyes.

"Are- Are you really Kayle?" She asked with stutters. As it was obvious that she still couldn't believe that this was 'real' me.

"Of course I am? But are you really Amelia? You seem to be more of an idiot than before." I said and flicked her forehead without holding back.

Her head swung back because of the force of my flick and she lost her footing and fell to the ground like the garbage she was.

I looked at her face and found out that her forehead was bleeding and there was foam coming from her mouth. She lost consciousness.

I began to have second thoughts of taming this woman as she was too weak and protecting her would be a hassle.

But I closed my mind to not think more about this and put Amelia on my shoulder like a sack. Then went back to Aria's side.

I found Aria where I left her. She was standing straight with her hands on her cheek.

She stopped her train of thought whatever she was thinking after seeing me and came to my side while looking at Amelia.

"Does this bitch come after us?"

"I don't know," I said, then added:

"But I have a plan in my head that needs you. Can you do it?"

"I will do my best." Aria said with a determined gaze.

After hearing this, I patted her head lightly and leaned to her ear.

"You should act like this…"
