Chapter 315 - Redwings messege (1/2)

A week had passed since the queen had requested a meeting between the 6 kingdoms and the Empire. The subject, the Redwings. The meeting was to take place inside Roland academy. An apparent neutral ground as Roland technically wasn't owned by any of the kingdoms or the Empire.

It would also be the safest place for them as they were surrounded by the four-tower masters.

As the leaders of each Kingdom arrived in the city. They had brought with them their own army of around 1000 men. Although they were to be stationed outside and not allowed in the city. However, they were ready to attack at any moment if anything was to go wrong.

The only people who didn't bring an army along with them was the Empire. In fact, they hadn't even bother sending anyone of importance to this meeting. They had sent two guards and with them a messenger that was hardly a noble in the Empire.

Upon entering Roland academy, each person was only allowed to bring in a total of two personal guards with them. This also included Queen Elizbeth. And standing by her side right now in the meeting room, was Slyvia on one side and Ray on the other. Ray was also his usual self and not disguised as Nes which surprised Slyvia.

The seven people around the giant round table had gathered each with their two guards standing by their side.

Slyvia then stepped forward slightly from her position to make an announcement.

”The meeting arranged by Queen Elizabeth and the seven present will now begin.”

The queen cleared her throat before she started.

”As you may know, each one of us recently received a letter from the Empire. Stating anyone who is harbouring the Redwings shall be seen as an enemy of the Empire. The Empire declares war on the Redwings. Now before I continue, I must ask, why have you chosen the Redwings as your target?”

It was a good question the others thought. They knew the reason why the Empire had made this move but were wondering if they would be so bold to come out and state the truth.

The man sitting down and representing the Empire was named Peak, he had straight hair that curled just past his shoulders and on his face a long curly moustache.

As the queen spoke, he contently played with his moustache as if he didn't have a care in the world. To the other kings and queens in the room, this was quite disrespectful, but no one would dare say a word.

”Queen Liz,” Peak said.

”Elizbeth to you, only my friends may call me that.” She said, interrupting him.

”Liz, do you know how many members the Redwings currently have? In total, the numbers are around 5000.

They claim they are not a nation yet a guild. Your Kingdom has allowed them to silently grow power in the corner and have done nothing about it.”

”Oh, and why should I? They have not only saved and protected the lives of others but are one of the very few that are openly going against the shadow force.”

”Or so they say. Honestly, it doesn't matter what you or I think. The emperor has made his decision and what he says shall go. So I ask you, and everyone one of these kingdoms, are you willing to side with them, or will you be going up against us?”
