As Draegor and Bella entered the throne room lead by Gilligan and the others, Bella could immediately sense the formidable air around her. She gazed upon the King and Queen, unsure of how she was to act properly before them. Draegor, however, was taking careful notes of everything around him.
"Welcome, travelers." King Maverick announced with a powerful voice. Bella dropped to her knees in respect, while Draegor simply bowed his head. "I'm sure you know why we have called you here so I will cut straight to the point. We wish to know why you have entered our borders and what your end goal is." The King declared strongly.
"And why do you wish to know so badly that you would pull us from the streets simply to ask?" Draegor countered.
"I believe you already know the answer to that question." The King glared.
"Fine, however, I would first like your men to uphold their end of the agreement." Draegor turned his masked face to Gilligan.
"And what agreement is that?" Maverick crossed his arms with a threatening tone.
Gilligan dropped to one knee. "Your Majesty. The man requested that the elf beside him be treated and cared for due to the wounds she has been afflicted with, in exchange for his cooperation." The head warrior disclosed.
"Is that all?" Maverick looked confused, but quickly reasserted himself. "See to is that the elf's wounds are treated and any ailments cured." Maverick ordered. Gilligan bowed his head and started to walk out of the room to get one of the head nurses when Draegor stopped him.
"Before you do, I believe Bella's niece would want to join her. She is not in any physical pain nor hinderance, however, I believe it will help calm her mental state to be with her." He explained.
"I suppose that would be alright, but there is no one else with you." Maverick pointed out.
"Not yet. Summon: 'Lilly the Dark Elf'." Draegor chanted and called Lilly forth. As she rose from her summoning circle, Lilly noticed the room she stood in and was a bit confused, but Draegor gave her a brief explanation through his thoughts. "This is Lilly Flora, niece to Bella Fauna, and my Monster: 'Lilly the Dark Elf'."
The throne room guards, as well as Gilligan's group, all stood with their weapons drawn. King Maverick kept his composure, but only just. "I will have you know that it is considered a hostile act to summon a Monster within the throne room without proper consent first." He warned.
"Lilly, please give your respect to the people before you: King Maverick and Queen Salencia." Draegor ordered.
Lilly stepped forward and dropped to her knees delicately. "Thank you." She started. Everyone except Draegor and Bella were taken aback to hear a Monster talk. "I know you never did anything directly, but because of your country, my mother and aunt, and their parents were able to live a happy life here, even if it was for a short while. Aunt Bella has told me that she wanted nothing more than to thank you personally for giving them that happiness." Lilly finished.
There was silence for a long time after Lilly stood back up and took her place next to Draegor.
"And what sort of sorcery have you used before us, Masked One." Queen Salencia spoke up, breaking the silence.
"It is complicated in its own matter, though it is very similar to the same Magic it takes to capture a Monster by normal methods. Lilly was once alive, however, she was met with a tragic fate and I used my powers to save her mind and soul. I will explain more, but not before Bella is treated." Draegor demanded.
Maverick's fist clenched as he thought. "Alright. Gilligan, as you were."
