Elaine likes two things: becoming a harem-loving scumbag, and wielding overwhelming power.
But unfortunately, right now, she's the one being added to someone else's harem.
The good news: Though she can no longer build a harem of her own, the power she lost was replaced by a talent for magic. Thanks to that, she helped a queen ascend the throne and now stands just beneath her, above everyone else.
The bad news: The queen works her like a mine. If Elaine is even a little too slow, she'll suffer a terrible fate.
After switching sides in the middle of the night, she chose to back a new king. This time, she was careful at every turn, terrified of being treated like a mine.
The bad news: The bad news isn't over. This one is an even better miner.
