Already they were in an unstable emotional state, but faced with your divinity they break completely and are reduced to a sobbing mess. Clinging to you and pleading for forgiveness like guilty children who did something bad. More than that though, they feel a relief of their entire elven kind, when you offer a promise... an alternative after death.
To them, you represent a removal of that oldest and deepest fear of theirs, that they could never escape otherwise. And for that, you own them completely. At least... as long as they remain in your influence. For the time being, if they stray too far and too long, they might be tempted to those falsehoods of their nonsense elven religion again.

On the matter of assassination, it is not so simple an effort to just sweep things under the rug. There is work to be done, namely the bodies of the unfortunately slain. Those subjects of yours who were unlucky enough to be in the way of these elves in their path to reach you. At the very least however, you can make sure that their souls find rest in the afterlife... as well as a chance to prove yourself to the elves even more.
A glimpse into the realm of the dead, that grim and sickly place. You dare not enter it yourself for the risk to your child, and the mortal elves wouldn't survive travel into the dead realm without you. But it's harmless to at least open a portal to that realm beyond and peer within. Where, you can see that the spirits of your three murdered subjects were able to find the way to their destined afterlife without needing your help, and the elves you can show your own realm of the dead. Brimming with elven souls, which these two wouldn't be able to make sense of anyway, but simply seeing the realm itself and calling some of your feline servants forth to display... it's enough to convince this pair of dark elves that you really do offer something after death.
A goddess truly, despite your seemingly mortal form, rather than just some unusually powerful or dangerous sorceress.

After glimpsing the dead realm, and then turning over the dead bodies to other subjects of yours in the castle... telling them that the dead humans were killed by the dead feral elf whom you in turn dispatched, after that you have some seclusion to your room with the surviving elven pair. A chance to clean the blood off yourselves, offering something to eat and drink, and sitting to the couch and embracing them in your arms either side of you again.</span>
