Reincarnated as a goblin, but the mother is a white-haired elf?

Beifeng Empire, Imperial Palace.

In the hall.

I sat on the throne, tapping my fingers to create a rhythm of crackling ice crystals.

Every time the Frost Moon Bell in the Council Hall strikes seven times, the icicles hanging from the dome will reveal that scene—

The starlight swimming in the girl's silver hair pierces the eternal night.

The Frostmourne that I was so proud of turned into a pool of rusty water at her fingertips.

"Your Majesty, the elves of the Aurora Forest refuse to accept your marriage certificate."

The attendant's head rolled on the cold jade steps, and blood beads suspended in the air condensed into ice grapes.

As I chewed this string of bloody crystals, I tasted the first humiliation I experienced at the age of seventeen at Vilnas College.

At that time, I had just dug out the heart of my third brother, and the blue light of the awakening of the exclusive skill "Frost Speaker" enveloped the entire training ground.

Until Alice passed by holding a magic book.

The white mist she exhaled froze, and the icicle that was about to pierce my mentor's throat.

“It’s so noisy.”

She frowned at my frost field and waved her hand as if brushing away a cobweb.

I still remember the sound of the ice crystals collapsing.

Those carefully constructed ice cages, and the desire for killing boiling in the blood.

The moment she raised her eyes, it turned into melted snow, flowing down the stone steps into the most humiliating stream in my life.

"Your Majesty, do you know why the ice shark dare not jump out of the frozen sea?"

She threw the apple into the air, and the web of sword light carved a bloody crown pattern on the surface of the fruit.

"Because when they jump out of the sea, they will see how big the cage they are trapped in is."

The apple fell on the long black ice table and split into seven pieces, and silver juice oozed out of each piece.

I recognize this pattern -

Three years ago, when he poisoned the archbishop, the old man used his last holy light to burn the prophetic pattern on the communion wafer.

But at this moment, these silver lines are forming something even more terrifying: the shape of the noose that was wrapped around my mother's neck the night I killed my father.

The blizzard broke open the glass windows of the parliament hall, and the ice throne behind me grew spikes.

This trainee wizard who claims to be from Viernas College has been trampling on my pride since the moment he stepped into the Winter Court.

It took her seven steps to break Frostmourne's frost barrier.

It took three spells to unlock the eternal freezing magic array that I spent ten years building.

Now you are using sword skills to mock my thirty years of hard training.

"Your Majesty, the priests of the Frozen Abyss"

“Feed the shark.”

I crushed the ninth bunch of bloody grapes, and my mother's face as she drowned emerged from the ice on the floor of the council hall.

This lowly siren who enchanted the previous king with her singing thought she could soften my heart with her tears until her death.

The ice crystal throne suddenly grew spikes, and the moment they pierced my thigh, I felt a certain pleasure.

The pain is the only thing that confirms that I am still climbing—

Since the night I poisoned my father, I have been using my wounds to measure the depth of my ambitions.

The sound of whalebone horns was heard from the frozen sea, and three hundred royal bloodlines were dragged to the crack of the ice with iron chains.

When the first princess was swept away by the tentacles of the abyss, I licked the frost on the blade, reliving the memory of the winter of my sixteenth year in the smell of blood:

Alice stood on the dome of the library, the moonlight weaving a galaxy crown in her palms.

I huddled in the shadows, with ice stuck in my throat that I couldn't cough out.

"Kneel down."

She didn't even look back at me that day. "Do you know the forbidden spell on page 372 of the Frost Age?"

I broke seven ribs before I could keep my knees from falling to the ground, and the blood from the corners of my mouth formed hideous patterns on the parchment.

Those blood beads suddenly floated up and condensed into mocking ice crystal earrings at the ends of her hair.

Just like the three hundred royal hearts floating in the hall at this moment.

“Not enough.”

I raised Frostmourne toward the frozen sea, the scarlet crack of my left eye reflected on the blade.

When the tip of the sword pierced the chest of the last little princess, the sigh of the ancient demon was finally heard under the ice.

The obsidian altar rose from the abyss, and the pupils of the seven statues of original sin bled at the same time.

I stepped on the stairs made of ice shark bones, and Alice's voice echoed in my ears.

The voice laughs, chuckles in the snowstorm:

"Your Majesty, do you know the price of greed?"

"The price?" I pulled off my brother's mane cape and threw it into the icy abyss.

"From the moment you showed me the truth about the world, I have been living at the cost."

When the Ring of Greed bit into the finger bone, the Ice Crystal Throne exploded.

The "Frost Whisperers" that imprisoned me for half my life shattered into ice blades, forming a rotating crown of thorns around the altar.

I saw an even more terrifying scene——

A girl's silver hair was burning in the void, and the totem of the original sin of desire slowly opened its eyes behind her.

The frozen sea suddenly boiled like lava, and my cloak turned to ashes in the heat.

Golden inscriptions appeared on the surface of the skin, a contract older than royal power was rewriting the flesh and blood.

The moment my left eyeball exploded, I saw the emerald dome of the Elf King's Court a million miles away, the skeletal throne in the deepest part of the dragon's lair, and the scarlet couch of the Succubus Queen in the Abyss of Bliss.

I want it, I want it all!

Want those elves who are high above.

Want those dragons flying in the sky.

Want the demons from those extremely cold lands.

I want the stunning beauty in paradise.

But no matter how hard I tried, it was of no use.

I am already the pinnacle of humanity.

It's the emperor.

No!

There is one more thing that is not true.

Human King!

He wants to become the king of men.

The King of Humankind

"want to!"

I opened my arms towards the shattered ice abyss, and the blood flowing from my right eye froze into red ice spikes.

“I want both!!!”

The three hundred ice mirrors in the parliament hall simultaneously reflected my new life:

A greedy snake was wriggling in its left eye socket, and ice crystal bone spurs that could pierce dragon scales were growing on its spine. The cracked mouth in the palm of its hand was chewing on the fragments of the little princess' soul.

As frost bloomed on my new crown, I heard Alice's applause.

This time there was no moonlight in her silver eyes.

Instead, it was spinning the same purple vortex as mine.

[The sins you committed begin to accumulate]

[Your notoriety is recorded and engraved on the starry sky.]

[A certain star in the sky responded to you]

[The stars that had not shone for thousands of years were lit up]

[Congratulations, you have obtained the exclusive skill "Greed"]

In the pre-dawn blizzard, I crushed Frostmourne.

The powdered bones of the mother's spine were reforged into a new weapon in the fire of greed, and the wailing souls of the dead were tempered into purple lines on the blade.

The sound of the ice crystal throne collapsing was very much like the sound of a shackle breaking deep in my soul.

Wang, wake up.

When the first ray of dawn broke through the eternal winter night, the North Wind Emperor slowly rose from the broken ice crystal throne.

The greedy snake in my heart spit out its tongue, longing for more——

No one could stop him, including the girl from Vilnas College.

He stopped, and his scarlet gaze passed over the kneeling royal skeletons and fell on the Goblin General Xuan in the distance.

Goblin General Xuan devours everything, whether living or dead, all are swallowed in his huge mouth.
