章 97: Chapter 97: The War Begins
Gethel POV
"The deal is over?"
"That's what she said."
"My lord, I think that things may have gone wrong."
"Prepare a detachment to visit that world. I will go there today."
"Understood, my lord."
"Prepare food as an apology gift for showing up early."
"Yes, Sir."
I walked into my hall.
This Rose Hood was bad news. If she managed to anger Regala to the point that she'd cast out a deal…
"Who do you think was killed?"
"Damien, you startled me. What do you mean?"
"Oh please, my lord, the whole faction is buzzing with the fact that the Eternal Slaver cast out a slave deal. She'd only do that if the merchandise killed someone close to her. So, who do you think it was?"
I nodded.
"I don't know, but I agree that it had to be someone close."
"Could it have been Ella?"
"Don't be ridiculous, Damien. You've seen them, do you really think that a group of lower existences could take down a 400?"
"You have a point, but I still think that that's the only person that she'd get that mad over."
"… That's what I'm worried about. Of course, killing Ella would weaken them to the point that Regala could easily just kill them all."
"Agreed."
We were walking to the great hall for a meal. Damien was my top commander, second to only me in level.
When we entered,
"Lord, how are you doing?"
"I am well, are you all prepared for the party tomorrow."
"Yes… do you think it will still happen? Regala sounded pretty angry from what I heard."
"Even if we don't get the desired merchandise, she will still have at least something to trade us, and she definitely will entertain us."
"Yes, Sir."
"Anyways, what's for lu-"
[SYSTEM NOTICE: The Minor Faction (Dominion) has been fully destroyed by the Junior Faction ruled by Rose Hood. Not a single Dominion member has survived.]
We all froze.
"Impossible…"
Damien spoke first.
"That means that Regala is dead."
We all knew that was the case, but none of us were expecting someone that strong to end up dead without fanfare.
One of my commanders had tears in his eyes.
"That means… oh, Ella."
He was an old man that was married to Ella before they joined two different groups.
"Yilan, listen, we will kill her and avenge Ella."
They all looked at me, and I nodded.
I… Regala was dead. I couldn't believe it still. I never told…
My vision blurred and I shook.
"This is now a war meeting. We will destroy the dragon, Rose Hood, by the end of this month."
"Sir, do you nee-"
"I am fine, Damien."
Then, we began planning our revenge.
Elren POV
I walked through the castle. It was incredible. The Kin-Killer had good taste.
"The only thing that would make this better is if she didn't have our sibling's head on the wall."
I removed Shade's head from its pedestal and planned on holding a funeral when Rose woke up.
As I was leaving, I felt something.
I went back to the throne and saw a hidden lever. When I pulled it, a trapdoor behind the throne opened up.
"An egg?!"
It was a fertilized egg too. That meant that she had found someone she liked before laying it.
"I should des-"
…
No…
That would make me like her.
I started to walk off, then I sighed.
I picked up the egg in my free arm and started to make the trek to the portal.
Mammon POV
Thalia returned with Rose limp on her back. We all got the message and cheered when it happened.
"Is she okay?"
"Yes, she's just exhausted."
"I understand, she just led an assault that destroyed a faction."
"Oh, and the dead should be preserved, Elren will be coming back."
"That's good, I was a bit worried when he didn't come through."
"Yeah, he's just seeing if there is anything of value in the castle. Oh look, there he is now… What? Mammon, hold Rose."
She passed the dragon to me and went over to Elren who was holding a dragon's head, and a big egg.
"Thalia, I found Shade's head."
"And is that?"
"Yes, it's Regala's egg. It's fertilized too, so she didn't do it through the egg laying skill."
"I see, but why did you bring it?"
"Because if I left it, then I'd be just as good as her and Galswell."
"That makes sense. Are you going to care for it?"
"I mean… I could…"
Then Thalia smiled sadly.
"I could raise it."
"You could?"
"Of course, I did always want to be a mother."
They both gave small smile, so I decided that it was none of my business and walked towards the guild.
"Goodness, Rose seriously looks young like this."
I brought her to the guild and put her down on her chair.
"Hey, Silas, could you get her a wine for when she wakes up?"
"Of course."
We were all happy for the girl who won the fight.
