Chapter 31 - The Forceful Decision (1/2)
Versailles looked at Queen Nakee before turning to Ramose. She did not care for what reason, or why, she suddenly became the werewolf's mate. However, no matter what happened, her plan to make herself stronger will not change. Nothing and no one can change that.
”But Versailles, the werewolf's mate enters the Underworld Palace the moment the wolf claims his soulmate. As such, you will become a part of the Werewolf clan and are able to represent only them.” Queen Nakee panickily said, a trace of desperation laced in her words as she nervously looked at her friend, and now, only hope of the snake clan.
”Unless, you delay your entrance into the Underworld Palace? Then you can participate in the competition as a member of the Snake clan.” As she said this, Queen Nakee felt an oppressive feeling enveloping her body, causing her to almost change form to fight back against the overwhelming aura.
”Well, who made the rule that a bloodline member cannot take part in the competition on behalf of their original race? Is the werewolf king going to feel offended if I take part in the Battle of Wars on behalf of the Snake clan and end up defeating you?” Versailles openly asked the wolf king without mincing her words.
”Offended? Absolutely not. It would be a pleasure for me to be defeated in the hands of my soulmate.” The werewolf king smirked with a wicked glint in his eyes, watching his soulmate's beautiful face.
The more he looked, the more he found her beautiful. Before the mating, he had already been slightly attracted to her. Now that they were bonded in soul, his feelings for her only grew stronger with every passing moment.
He could not believe such a splendid woman was his soulmate.
”Well, there you go. The wolf king has no problem with me representing the Snake clan. So, there should not be any problems since there had never been such rules in the first place.” Versailles loudly declared, wanting the leaders of the other four clans to hear her so as to solve all the problems here and now, rather than dealing with it later on the competition days.
”I am afraid that is not possible. We have never had an incident before where a werewolf found his mate during the competition of the Battle of Wars, hence the reason for the lack of rules for such circumstances. However, every race present here is clear on the objective behind the Battle of Wars.
Through the Battle of Wars, the ranking of the lesser, lower, middle, higher, and supreme races and ranks are decided. Through those rankings, a tribe, group, or clan receives resources of their status. Some races get labeled as slaves, some servants, and while some are just food for the strong.
These are battles where the very survival and status of the races within the Nar realm are determined based on their strengths. The strong rules while the weak slaves. These are the rules of the Nar realm where every creature strives for survival.
As such, where do you think a serpentine of the Snake clan mated to the werewolf king stands in all this? The Snake clan and the Werewolf clan are both supreme clans within the Nar realm. You representing one while having a foot in the other might be acceptable to you. But is it acceptable to the creatures whose very survival depends on the victory and defeat of the battles?
Is it acceptable to the races whose survival depends on your victory? What is the guarantee that you would not favor one race over the other once you enter the Underworld Palace?” Luke darkly added as he predatorily watched the serpentine. He himself could not understand why he was so strongly against the idea of the girl entering the Underworld Palace.
However, since he was against the idea, then he would exercise all his power to make sure that the serpent did not enter the werewolf den.
