345 New Goals For The Future (1/2)
Alicia stood in front of Queen Mittens and explained the situation to her. Of course, she left out a few things. She did not tell her about the Origin visiting this world. Alicia kind of wished she could meet the origin but she knew it would not be good to oppose that old man. ”So I will not be putting a barrier up for the time being. I will check back once a month to see if he is still down there or if the chaos qi dissipates before I show up, send someone to let me know if it is not near the time I would usually show up.” Alicia explained but paused her words before thinking for a moment saying: ”Your Majesty, Queen Mittens, I would like to appoint someone from your castle as an ambassador to Alastine and the same goes with your country as well Your Majesty, Queen Angelina. I think if all aligned countries have an ambassador in Alastine. I think it will make the rest of your nobles and officials much more at ease.”
”It is good that you mentioned this your Highness, Princess Alicia.” Queen Mittens smiled and nodded to Queen Angelica. ”The two of us had thought of the same thing. We will each send one person to be a liaison between our countries. As for me, I will be sending Meowskins. He is my most trusted aide and prime minister of Felinenia.” Queen Mittens replied.
”I will be sending Solicia. She is my younger sister and also my closest aide.” Queen Angelina added in. The two queens had talked quite a bit before Alicia left for the forbidden lands. They wanted to form a council between countries that would work together during major problems. And with such a powerful princess Alastine was the best place for such a council to be formed. At least with the security that Alastine could provide they did not need to worry about their representatives being harmed.
”This works out well because we already have people from the beastmen, elves, and dwarves. Although the elves are under Alastine rule we wanted to have an elf on our council to make sure that the daily lives of the elves would not be changed in a harmful way.” Alicia said. She felt this would work out very well since they already had a council as a go between when it came to race relations.
”Since that is settled, Meowskins will make his way to your capital city in a few days Queen Angelina.” Queen Mittens said with a smile.
”We will welcome him with open arms. If he has any issues please let us know right away we will take care of him as a respected guest.” This was a given, those who were going to become council members' social status was only lower than that of a king or queen. Not to mention the cat sith's ability to hide was unparalleled making them perfect assassins. So if one were to truly anger the cat sith race they would have to worry about losing their neck.
Finally, it was time for the council meeting. Alicia stood in front of the entire council which seemed to be much more well behaved than last time. At least now there were not as many hateful looks. Whether or not they still hated Alicia and humans was another story. ”As I said last time I only wish to befriend the Fey and offer you protection. As well as a collaboration so that not only will you see that not all humans are bad but also so that humans will not be afraid of the Fey. Of course, this fear has been less and less since the beastmen began freely walking the streets of our kingdom. I just hope you can put your prejudices aside and do what is more beneficial for your kingdom.” Alicia paused and looked the entire council over. There was still one empty seat but she felt that that person who should be sitting in that seat did not deserve to be on this council.
She had two reasons for this. One, Delic was the leader of the anti human movement and second, he was power hungry and wanted to take Queen Angelina's position. She did not see him as a person who should be around during such an important decision so he would not try to sway his fellow human haters. She had found out from Queen Angelina that Delic's voice carried a lot of weight which was why the guards were so willing to arrest their own queen just from his command alone. Which was why he was still being used as a pothole filler in the streets of Nhoshara.
”We of the anti human side wish to ask one thing before we vote.” One Fey elder stood up.
”Please go ahead.” Alicia smiled at the old man. The Fey elder nodded his head and stepped forward.
”I wish to ask in this alliance will the kingdom of Alastine swear to assist the Fey whenever the Fey comes into danger from an outside foe?” The Fey elder asked.
”Yes, that is right. Everyone within this alliance is not allowed to harm the other. If a foe from the outside is bearing down on any of the alliance members then as part of the alliance each nation will send troops out to assist. This means not only will Alastine send troops but also the dwarves and beastmen. Elves are counted as Alastine troops but as the biggest of the nations, the kingdom of Alastine will send more troops than the rest.
” If the enemy is strong and an all out war is needed then we will be voting on what to do at that time in the alliance council. Today I wish to also ask as members of the council of all the Fey people to choose one person to reside on the council for the alliance. This council will allow for each race to have a say in what happens with matters from here on out when dealing with outside issues or things like black market trade. Anything that affects all our nations will be under the jurisdiction of the alliance council. And I as its leader will make sure no one will be discriminated against.” Alicia explained.
The council members all fell into deep thought. Each one looking at the other before many shouts began to fill the hall. ”I am in favor of her Highness Princess Alicia's proposal!”
”So am I!”
