65 The War Room Pt. 2 (2/2)

”She's indeed not a human! She's a Vampire,” Theodora says.

The feeling in the room immediately changes.

[Lady Lowell has become hostile]

[Devos has become hostile]

[Governor Yor has becomes confused at his Daughter's words!]

Well… shit!

”Why in the Goddess name did you bring that creature into the city then?” Lowell yells. Those orange eyes of hers are like a dagger to the chest.

”We have come to an agreement on one topic it seems Lowell,” Devos says darkly. He looked ready to fight me.

Governor Yor raises his hand and the two of them calm down. But they don't take their eyes off of me.

”Speak,” he says simply. His eyes are boring into mine.

”Sh-”

”Not you, her,” he cuts Theodora off.

”Excuse me then,” I give a small curtsy.

”I'm a Vampire, as your daughter has told you. Although, I do not drink human blood. Please rest assured of this fact. I've also already proven to your daughter that I have no allegiance to Black God. I have completely severed my ties with that and have forsaken him,” I say standing straight.

The burning gaze of the Governor pierced my body.

”She does not lie! I even bathed her in the holy light of the Goddess!” Theodora says. I raise an eyebrow. She was doing her best to defend me. I felt a little touched that she was going this far for me.

That meant that she was a good girl at heart didn't it?

I wonder…

If I raised her affection level with me more, would she defend me completely with her life?

”Yor, let me check and make sure that she has not bewitched your Daughter,” Lowell says. She stands up and moves her way towards Theodora. She gives me a dirty eye, but I don't move at all. Check all she wants! I have done nothing to her.

”Very well,” Governor Yor says.

She stops in front of Theodora and moves her finger towards the center of Theodora's forehead. Her orange eyes begin to glow and the same happens to Theodora's eyes.

It only lasted for a moment, before she removes her fingers.

”Lowell.”

”I have found no signs of mental corruption. It would appear that she is telling the truth,” Lowell explains.

I want to roll my eyes, but I stop myself.

”I would even be willing to show you my chest if you'd like to confirm for yourself,” I say smoothly to Lowell and company.

”Ahem,” Devos coughs into his hand.

[Devos hostility towards you has lessened!]

[Lowell's hostility towards you has lessened!]

[Favorable Affection with the Guild Master has changed to Favorable Amusement. He finds you to be quite entertaining. Affection at 15%.]

[Theodora's affection has risen, due to the fact that you are so willing to compromise with the Four Guardians! Affection at 40%. At Fifty percent you will be able to find out some secret information!]

Oh, this wasn't bad at all. I'd gained a lot from my attitude being favorable it seems. But this Four Guardians was interesting. It would seem that these are the four pillars of this city if anything happened to one of them. It'd be safe to assume that this city would crumble.

”Devos is your delicate sense of morality preventing you from carrying out your duties?” Lowell says with some hostility in her voice.

”She is still a child. Must we have her strip and show us her chest?” Devos continues.

Wow, what a gentleman!

However, I didn't like that the hostility for the two had only lessened. I'd need to make it disappear before I felt comfortable. The last thing I wanted was to have to slaughter one of them if they tried to kill me.

I wasn't against it, but I didn't want it to come to that. If at all possible!

”Child, please show us proof of what you have claimed,” Governor Yor says.

Shrugging, I quickly undo my armor. It falls unceremoniously to the ground. Making quick work of the buttons, I undo my shirt and pull it to the side. Showing my scared chest to the room.

”Gasp,” Lowell draws in a sharp breath.

”By the Goddess,” Devos says.

”It appears, that you are being truthful,” Governor Yor says.

”I had no reason to lie in the first place,” I laugh softly.

[All hostilities have been resolved. There is still some suspicion between Lowell and Devos!]

[Governor Yor has chosen to put faith in you. Due to his Daughter vouching for you. However, he is still on the fence.]

Well, I wasn't surprised if it was that easy to win favor with people then this wouldn't be a trail.
