91 Nunid Kingdom 2/3 (1/2)
One hour ago.
Inside a large chic room, two men drank wine while talking and laughing. There were also some servants in the room serving them other drinks and food.
”So, Prince Duane... You know my offer is a blessing for your little kingdom.” The man in the shining armor spoke confidently.
Duane looked at the Light Empire captain and smiled. He had already made his decision, but he also wanted to get other benefits.
”Captain, you have to understand that it is not so simple for me to do what you are asking me to do. Even if Portgreen is not helping us, it is still difficult to revolt against them while we have no guarantee that your Light Empire will really support us.”
The captain drank some more wine before smiling at Duane. ”I understand that, but you have my word that we will protect you, and your Kingdom will have a special position once Portgreen's territory is added to the Light Empire.”
”I believe you... But if you also left some soldiers and gold now, it would help me get ready sooner.” Duane was not an experienced negotiator, but he knew how to request.
The captain was ordered by the King to secure loyalty from the minor Kingdoms closer to Portgreen's borders so he could use gold or soldiers for negotiations. ”Yes, yes, we can come to a better agreement for both.”
”Yes, of course, we will reach an agreem-” Duane couldn't finish his words when he heard the door being slammed open and making a loud thud.
A beautiful young lady with blue hair and blue clothes came in looking furious. ”You damn disgusting prince! Do you plan to ally with the Light Empire? Even after promising my father that our kingdoms would help each other?”
”Blue hair and spirit of an angry bee? She must be Angela Olsen's daughter. Duane, you didn't tell me you had a Bluewind princess here.” The captain of the Light Empire was a messenger who prepared himself well for his mission, so he knew the nobility of the small Kingdoms.
”Lena, you are the worst wife a man could ever want to have! Got back to your fucking room before I beat the shit out of you right here in front of Captain!!”
Duane got up and walked furiously towards Lena. He had wanted to beat her for a long time, but now that they would be teaming up with very powerful people, he didn't need to fear Bluewind anymore.
”You are a despicable piece of garbage!!! I can't believe I was crazy enough to accepted this marriage... But I will not allow you to betray my father!!” Lena couldn't believe that Duane would even ally with the people of the Light Empire. She started to prepare her ice magic, ready to attack.
”Guards!! Fire an arrow at this crazy woman! But don't kill her because I still need to have my fun.” As soon as Duane spoke, guards entered the room from all sides. First, the guards at the door only let Lena in because she was Duane's fiancee.
”Wait, Duane! I can use her to coerce the Bluewin Kingdom. You can get better whores elsewhere.” Of course, the Light Empire captain would want to use Lena to force the King of Bluewind to ally with them without having to use the same method he used with Duane.
Lena was even more furious and was about to cast an ice bolt at Duane, but she also knew that fighting the guards would be her end. She hesitates for a second, and it was long enough for Duane's mother to enter the room.
”Stop this madness, Lena! Let's talk. I'm sure Duane can still forgive you, and no one is going to hurt you or your family.”
Lena knew she couldn't fight so many people, even though she was a talented wizard. She also knew that the Light Empire captain and Duane would do terrible things to her. If Zora could protect her for a little longer, it would be the best way to escape from them. She didn't think twice and got behind the Queen.
”Mother? Do you continue to protect her even when she is clearly hostile to us?” Duane was very angry with his mother for meddling in his affairs, and not letting him rule as he wanted.
”She is your fiancée! You have to treat her well or else she wouldn't want to marry you, idiot!” Zora did not wait for Duane to respond and left the room with Lena. The guards did not stop them as the Queen still had a lot of power and influence in the Kingdom even after the King's death.
Duane looked at the captain with a regretful look. ”I'm sorry about that. My mom is complicated, but I'll talk to her later, and we can use that bitch to screw Bluewind.”
”I'm sure you will, Prince Duane. Now let's drink and talk more.” The captain saw that the prince did not have complete control over the Kingdom and began to think of better ways to follow his plans while lifting his mug and making a fake smile.
”Yes, let's drink! I will also send someone to bring dancers to brighten up our night.” Duane sent some of his guards to bring girls while he talked to the captain again. He was still very curious about the famous Light Envoy.

Now.
”What?!” Lucien's women understood the plan since he had communicated with them mentally, but the rest of the group was very confused. Scarlett didn't know how to act as she was taken by surprise by Lucien's quick movement.
Lucien had heard the guards talking about someone going to bring dancers to please the captain of the Light Empire forces while he was talking to Prince Duane. So he thought about pretending to be that person to enter the castle, but Lucien didn't expect a stupid problem.
”She is a demi-human. Don't the Light Empire people hate demi-humans?” The guard couldn't deny that Scarlett was beautiful, and it was also possible to see that she had a sexy body even through her clothes. Still, he couldn't help but suspect.
Lucien began to curse the people of the Light Empire in his mind. He didn't understand how they could have problems with demi-humans.
He would be willing to caress Scarlett's beautiful fluffy ears for days if she weren't the leader of the mercenaries who attacked her beloved Cassidy.
But the truth was still indisputable, she is an incredibly beautiful sexy woman, and the prejudice to demi-humans did not make sense.
