Chapter 169: The Games (I): Politicking (1/2)

Such an order was completely out of place and even more so that it was right in the middle of the horde, sure Rezar needed the orcs, but he was not going to bend over for them as this particular race responded better to strength and power. Sure it was stereotypical of orcs to be wild and brash, but in this case it helped Rezar a lot as power and very good way to show it was something he had in spades. Kitagawa was as loyal to Rezar as the day he took his oath, even more so we the Kitsune would give his life for his king should the need arises, and should Rezar give the order to kill, he would carry out with a speed even faster than the undead bonded to his king.

His tails flashed through the air and stabbed through the orc before anyone else had a chance to even breathe, Rezar knew that his orc had gone after him in the manner because Durga put him up to it. And while killing him wouldn't help matters, it more than did what Rezar wanted, and that was to get all eyes on himself. Kitagawa retracted his tails, and the orc fell to the ground, with six massive holes in his body, a sacrifice made to honor his king, Kitagawa bowed his head low as Rezar walked past him, placing his hands on the shoulder of the commander of his King's Guard. He walked towards to the very dead body of the orc, after shocking everyone by his rather brash and brutal actions.

”Let me make something clear, I am a king! The respect and honor I give away must be earned. I do not have time to play politics with you Durga, so for your sake and the sake of your people don't fucking mess with me! My temper is much to short for you to court death, now get this fucking ceremony along.”

After he finished speaking he removed the hood on his head letting his grown out white hair to fly in the wind, he still had a fade haircut, but the middle of his hair had a significant and thick mop of hair that stretched back to the middle of his neck.

The moment his hair and eyes were exposed there was a slew of murmuring around them as everyone was left to the very obvious fact that a Death class user was here, and even worse he was smack dab in the middle of the horde where a number of things can go wrong and lots of people would end experiencing the true death.

Nevertheless the moment his hair and eyes were exposed, not to mention some amongst them were having spikes of perception of sorts that warned them off. Rezar felt as if he was letting off some sort of aura that made him seem especially scary and dangerous to the eyes of the people watching.

”Your Majesty King Rezar DeathWind, it is an honor and a welcome surprise to see the Bone King of Morte Bianca here amongst the horde. Your prowess and victories in battle is one we have great appreciation for, please forgive the slight on our part, but given that the perpetrator has already been taken care of, I reckon your anger has been somewhat abated.” Rezar furrowed his eyebrows, Durga was definitely eloquent, but more than that he was acting like this was the first time they were meeting each other. Rezar didn't find it funny at all, but there wasn't much he could say, diplomacy was required at the moment and quite a fair bit of acting too.

”I heard that your people have plain games every year, but this year it is to decide who would be crowned King of the orcs. And behind that I hear the fairest of you all would be up as a prize, are the rumors true? Also it is said that anyone, Orc, Human, Elf, Dwarf or monster could participate in the games.” Rezar asked, moving with the ball and playing along. Durga smiled as he nodded his head then turned with a flourish to point at the orcs that were all around them.

”Indeed, whosoever shall prevail in this year's plain games shall become king of the orcs, king of the horde. And in the spirit of fairness, because we know there's not much orcs can do when it comes to leadership Hahahaha!” when he said that all of them orcs around them seemed to burst into laughter as one particularly loud voice spoke up.

”All we know how to do is fuck, fight and fuck some more! Hahahaha!”

”Even when we're fighting we're fucking and when we're fucking we're also fighting!”
