"We are in the fourth era. After the discovery of the new continent, old notions are concepts were cut down like pesty flies. Schools like magitech were created and new ideas were being born every day. This world is officially at its friskiest in this era."
Royal Duchess Ryia went on, "Now, tell me, why aren't you taking advantage of this era? This is the perfect time to reintroduce yourself. To shave away any annotations plastered on the name of your race. What is your goal…...your desire as a race?"
The members of the Vagoroth Council kept staring at her, not knowing what to say.
"I can see. You have none. What future do you see for your descendants? What legacy would you leave for them? Do you want them to be stuck in this continent till the rest of their lives?"
Catelyn finally spoke with hostile intent, "Watch your words carefully. I don't like what you say."
Despite feeling her weakness in front of Catelyn's aura, Royal Duchess Ryia ignored it and continued, "But it is true. I grew up hearing bad things about demihumans. 'They will eat you alive,' they say. 'Mindless beasts, they are,' they say. Yet, right here, I see none of it. Quite humorous, right? All these night stories that were ingrained in my mind weren't true. So, if I can feel wowed by a demihuman, what say the rest of the world?"
Princess Amara finished for the royal duchess, "That is our offer. We want an alliance with you for this very reason. What do you think? I believe you can feel our pure intentions."
The council members looked at each other for a while. They weren't mentally communicating but they could understand what was going through the other's mind.
After about two minutes, Myniene spoke again, "....and the price for this alliance?"
"Nothing in general. This alliance is beyond us. Since I take it you are interested, I shall tell you some forces in this alliance. Apart from us, the merfolk of Oceanis, the elves on Alfheim, and Novae on the new continent. Our purpose is to promote unity. Arcadia has been scarred for too long."
Myniene sighed, "We will accept this offer, but the moment we smell anything fraudulent, we are out!"
"Good...…. By the way, what deodorant do you use?" smiled Princess Amara.
"....."
Princess Amara pretended to be weeping, "Heek! It's alright. If you don't want to tell."
Everyone gave Myniene a disappointed stare when they saw tears falling from Princess Amara's cheeks.
Myniene gritted her teeth and spoke, ".....I use red lilies with scented oils."
Instantly, the young princess beamed, "Oh, that certainly makes a good combination. However, the ratio of the ingredients involved would be tough to find."
Before Royal Duchess Ryia could join the conversation, Tor interrupted, "My apologies, what exactly do you have in mind for us?"
"Huh….oh, well, to change the world's view of demihumans, wouldn't it be better for them to see your exquisiteness themselves? Why don't you send your young ones? They would be guests in our two kingdoms."
"Yes, we shall start with the young humans. Children are always to brainwa--to convince," Princess Amara almost misspoke.
She ignored her mistake and focused back on feminine things, "With that said, Myniene, what are the ingredients you use for scented oil?"
Myniene had no idea that she was getting invested in their conversation, "Actually, it is Kiera that..."
..............
Meanwhile, far away from the campsite, on a mountain peak, two figures spied at the camp.
The first one was a man with blonde hair. He wore a tight black top with fine white pants. Coupled with his white kimono jacket, he looked quite gentlemanly.
The second man wore a black kimono that complemented his silver-gray hair
If Reve was here, he would easily recognize the two of them. The blonde one was Aello and the other was Khirah. They were both from the secretive Gehenna Order!
"It seems they settled it quite well and even managed to reap some benefit," muttered Khirah.
All this while, they were watching the events in the tents, but none of the individuals in the tents picked up on them!
"Yes, Zev was right. They are more capable than the past council members," sighed Aello.
The two of them were sent to watch over the council members in case things went awry. In fact, they had known of this meeting long ago. It was they that provided Zev with the immortal decree, who then gave the council.
As for how they got the immortal decree, it was through Met. Their pseudo leader was acquainted with the Immortal King himself!
So, one could say, that it was the Gehenna Order that gave the necessary means to a successful meeting to the council. However, one could also not deny the council members' contributions.
Aello muttered as he kept watching the women in the tent conversing, "I wish a fight broke out. It would have been a nice way to flex some muscles."
Khirah scoffed, "A fight is not what they need. Damn, Aello, this is why we could only you to do this yourself!"
Aello cocked his head at Khirah, "But I was the one sent to watch you, not the other way around...."
"......"
"Anyways, should we assume that this farce is all over?" retorted Khirah.
"No, I don't think so. Let's wait till the humans leave. Then we can report back to Met and the others," said Aello.
"Then, how we to keep watching those women talking about deodorants?" wailed Khirah.
"Hehehe. I have a perfect idea. Met said not to interfere with the meeting. He never said not to mess with the humans. Do you understand?"
".....Yes."
"Hehehe."
With battle-hungry eyes, the two of them cast their sight on the ships about to leave the coast. Multiple bunches of warriors were piling inside them.
When the time was right, the captains of the ships wasted no time to sail at once.
As they floated on the water surface, branches of lightning bolts struck the ships. It pierced through their thick and sturdy build.
That was not all, a tornado appeared out of nowhere to torment the ships.
"Oh blessed Xoris, please forgive us!" The sailors begged.
...........
On that very day, the ships of Solaris were tormented by the harsh weather. They vowed never to go set food on Azea ever again!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
