Tenth floor, Throne room
.
.
"So. Why. Are. We. Here?" A huge insectoid asks in a breathy tone. The ice-cold air coming out from its mouth shoots out all at once reaching down to its feet before evaporating into thin air. This was the floor guardian of the Frozen Glacier in the Fifth Floor of Nazarick and the leader of the Lizardmen.
In front of Cocytus was a majestic throne, the throne extended countless meters tall but still was not able to reach the ceiling, rather, it was far from it.
The single mass of obsidian of a throne was a World Item awarded to the guild of Ainz Ooal Gown for clearing the Great Tomb Of Nazarick, a level eighty plus dungeon, in one attempt, the throne rewarded was officially called [Throne Of Kings] and remains as a nostalgic relic to Ainz.
Next to the throne was the all-known Guardian Overseer, she elegantly stood on the right stand keeping both of her hands locked in front of her groin, her face was strict and professional and she was emitting an intimidating aura. Typically, this type of aura would be expected because of the everlasting feud between the loli vampire and herself but, this was different, it was not pointed towards Shaltear.
Earlier Albedo had called for any available guardians to gather to the throne room, of course with her powers as 'Guardian Overseer' the two idle guardians had humbly accepted being summoned but were still confused as to why.
"Foolish humans." Albedo quitely mutters,
The maid who was on-duty stood there silently in the corner of the vast filled room -
Compressing an entire horde of several hundreds of people inside would not make the throne room feel the least crowded. What made part of the Throne room stand out was the huge majestic chandelier, gathering every single carpenter, designer or any other special person from the new world to build something even less prepossessing than the chandelier that hung in the throne room would be impossible.
The large chandelier had a cross hanging from it, the dark blue light it radiated immersed the entire throne room with the help of other lights. The creation of that was something the members of Ainz Ooal Gown were specifically proud of.
Aura and Mare were in the Elven kingdom acting as emissaries to establish friendly ties with the Elves so they were not able to attend the gathering.
"I wouldn't know~arinsu," Shaltear replies in a Silvery tone as she yawns before asking, "Why are we here, Albedo?"
"Ainz-sama and Demiurge will return soon, they will introduce the topic." Albedo replies as she looks over to the main entrance meters down.
"Hm. Alright." Cocytus responds as he glares towards the throne.
Abruptly after the long silence that had occurred, a two-meter tall skeleton appeared next to the throne. The skeleton majestically adjusted his purple robe as he took a seat leaning both bony hands on the arm-rests of the [Throne Of Kings].
Immediately upon Ainz's arrival, the two guardians immediately fell to one knee as both hands clumped as their fists leaned on the ground with heads dropped down facing the immaculate red carpet.
"Rise." The Overlord said in a carefully modulated voice.
As commanded, both of the guardians slowly rose from their positions, not daring to look at the eyes of the great Overlord they stare at his teeth and robe waiting for him to speak.
"Albedo,"
"Yes, Ainz-sama? Albedo replied as she too dropped to one knee.
"Where is Demiurge?"
"My deepest apologies Ainz-sama, Demiurge seems to be late... if you can issue a punishment to th-"
Before Albedo could go further Ainz halts,
"Do not worry about that... Umu, just tell me where Demiurge is."
"H-He should be arriving shortly."
Coincidentally a huge echo circles throughout the entire room, the two carefully carved gates leading to the throne rooms slowly opens up. Adjusting his tie an orange suited demon speedily but nobly walks up, the guardians did not turn their heads to look back at the coming being, they knew who it was by the tapping footsteps alone. After a few seconds, the demon had reached its destination.
With a bitter smile, Demiurge brushes his hands and bows down beside the guardians who kept their sights on Ainz.
"My humblest apologies for my late arrival Ainz-sama, I had to meet with Lupusregina to heal myself," Demiurge said with an apologetic tone.
"Y-You went to a maid before arriving at a meeting with Ainz-sama?! Has your sense of importance dulled?!" Albedo screeched at Demiurge who could do nothing but bow his head down in shame.
Before the situation could escalate further, Ainz interrupts,
"Uhm, calm down Albedo, I forgive him."
Albedo takes a step back taking a relaxed posture, sensing this Ainz continued.
"Raise your head Demiurge, there is no need to be ashamed."
"But Ainz-sam-,"
"I will not take this," Ainz said as he waved his arm regally.
In response, the demon gave up and raised his head.
"Now..., elaborate on the topic you wanted to discuss..."
Demiurge had plans beyond Ainz's comprehension, while Ainz could simply ask and understand these 'plans' the risk would be too great, Ainz occasionally wondered if whether or not Demiurge was mocking him, still, he can not utterly discard a meeting requested by Demiurge.
Ainz understood the merits of sending Asher to spy on the most suspicious country that was the Theocracy but could not see through the well-crafted plan Demiurge had created to deal with the demerits, so Ainz shrugged it and allowed Demiurge to deal with it all.
"Of course Ainz-sama," Demiurge replied before continuing, "The Slane Theocracy hoists interesting soldiers among their Elites."
"Oho? What do you mean by that?" Ainz says as a red glowing light slightly brims from his eye socket.
"If I may," Demiurge says as he jostles his arm into a [Pocket Dimension] pulling out various artifacts.
Ainz leaned forward in interest, he then looks at Albedo gesturing her to hand over an item. Albedo nodded and began walking down the steps, metallic rings echo across the entire throne room as he hands over a special looking chain slightly hinted with various types of colours but as a normal chain, it was mainly grey.
After receiving the item there was a pause of silence as the other guardians looked over at the other weapons Demiurge at his disposal.
Ainz inspected the chain for a few seconds before murmuring,
"[Celeri Chain]..."
This is an item from Yggdrasil, so the Six Great Gods were players after all...?
Ainz lifted his head looking at other artifacts which were special looking swords and shields, after recognizing them he waves his hand and speaks.
"I am grateful, Demiurge."
"Much obliged, Ainz-sama."
"Umu, anyway, send these items to Pandora's Actor,"
"Of course, Ainz-sama." Demiurge replies.
"It is safe to assume that the former owners of these weapons have been contained?" Ainz asks as he leans back,
"Of course Ainz-sama," Demiurge says as a wide sadistic grin etched on his face, after half a second Demiurge's face clears up, presumably from 'sensing Ainz-sama's intention' and replies again, "Do not worry Ainz-sama, they will break soon, I trust Neuronist's work."
No no, I did not ask for that type of information!
"Although, they were proved to be exceptionally strong," Demiurge says as he puts both of his hands behind his back.
"Oh? What level would you say they are at?" Ainz asks curiously.
"At least level forty, some raised higher," Demiurge replied.
Uhm? Level forty?
"Umu, very interesting, I wait eagerly for your results."
"I do not deserve such expectations," Demiurge says as he dips into a deep bow.
Ainz sat there wondering about Aura and Mare, how their trip was like and whether or not sending them was the right thing to do. Although the twins had World Items in their possession he was still worried sick, even after days he had sent the dark eves on their journey he did not rest without thinking about them. He felt like a father sending his young daughter out alone for the first time, truly scary.
When Ainz showed slight concern about the elven twins to Albedo, she told him, 'It is all going as planned, as expected as Ainz-sama.', Ainz nearly facepalmed but of course, he did not do it in front of Albedo nor did he incline to ask about the plan.
The guards Albedo had assigned to the twins were beyond elite, they were in literal terms, the best guarding force other than the guardians.
Ainz had asked for reports regarding the Elf king and as expected, it did not take a few minutes after he asked for it for Albedo to rush out and grab the paperwork passing it to Ainz, Ainz read more about the Elven King, the things that were being said in the report made him question whether or not if it was the right thing to send Aura and Mare.
The past is the past, and it cannot be changed, Ainz thought to himself during the time.
"Mare... King... Elves.." Ainz slowly and quietly muttered,
Surprised, the words flew besides Demiurge's ears as his face began to pale, with a tremble creeping down his spine and without hesitation Demiurge drops his head and apologies.
"I am deeply sorry Ainz-sama, to think that you would have to forcefully point something so blatantly obvious to me yourself."
Demiurge's glasses were on the verge of dropping down to the ground, the two guardians surprised by this straightened their backs and looked at the distressed demon.
Eh? What are you talking about?
"Ah, you do not need to worry, mistakes are... easily made... please, raise your head and tell me what you have thought of," Ainz said as he stressfully wondered what Demiurge was talking about.
Ainz heavily sighs in his head as he balanced his stress, frankly, ordering guardians to raise their heads having them begging Ainz to give out punishments were beyond bothersome, if he were human he would have succumbed to exhaustion by the third day.
"Then, if you allow me..." Demiurge says as raises his head, with a change of attitude he starts speaking, "Once the Elf King tries 'that' on Mare, it will be the incentive for the Sorcerous Kingdom to secretly take control over the Elven kingdom establishing the twins as the new ruler,"
Try what on Mare?
Ainz who was listening, nodded, gesturing for Demiurge to continue,
"Taking a glance at the reports can easily imply that the citizens do not enjoy the Elf king's rule, so the takeover would not be difficult, I assume Ainz-sama has plans to stomp out any unrealistic rebellions," The metallic tail protruding from Demiurge lashes side to side in confidence after he felt that he slightly redeemed himself in front of Ainz.
"While publically the Elven Kingdom will be distinguished as the new ally of the Sorcerous Kingdom, Ainz-sama will in-fact have full control over it through Aura and Mare."
Taking over the Elven kingdom? I thought we were meant to establish friendly ties! I mean sure, we are but... but...
"I am pretty s-sure that Ainz's plans go deeper than that..." Shaltear stutteringly says.
"Kufufufu, that is correct Shaltear," Demiurge says as he continues to hold back his laughter. "I can only think of a few things Ainz-sama would do after the secret take-over."
"As. Expected. Of. Ainz-sama. His. Wide. Array. Of. Intelligence. Is. Outlandish." Cocytus praises in his same croaky voice with a hint of awe.
"Hm, thank you for your praise." Ainz said as he faked a small cough, "Albedo, do Aura and Mare know about this?"
The jaw-dropping world-class beauty standing beside Ainz answered his question.
"Of course Ainz-sama, they were informed through the paper I gave them regarding their actions in the Elven Kingdom."
"Ah, good..."
"That is not all..., did you think Ainz-sama's plans were that thin? Were you truly convinced that Ainz-sama had created Asher only for the sole purpose of spying on the Theocracy?," Demiurge said as he spread his arms, Albedo seemed to be slightly chuckling as well.
What do you mean by that! Stop it! Stop it! Ainz screams in his head as he looks at the smirking demon who was staring at him with brightly glimmering eyes almost like a child waiting for permission to show off his favourite toy to his classmates.
Ainz pretends to chuckle and nods signalling for Demiurge to talk.
With confused faces, Cocytus stared dumbfoundedly at Demiurge, who took a confident stand as Shaltear asked,
"W-What do you mean?"
Taking a deep breath Demiurge finally speaks.
"Ainz-sama has allowed this ignorant one to collect the visible pieces and match them together only showing us a glimpse of Ainz-sama's great and supreme plans,"
Both of the guardians lean forward eagerly waiting for Demiurge to continue talking about the 'Plan' Ainz had released to Demiurge.
"It is truly expected of Ainz-sama, with a glimpse of his plan he has created the 'Supreme Domino Effect', now rack your brains fellow guardians, understand just what Ainz has done that has cornered the lion in one consecutive move! His past actions were sincerely created for multiple purposes, this is one of them," Demiurge enthusiastically says.
"What. Exactly. Did. Ainz. Effect." Cocytus asks,
"Excellent question," Demiurge says in a happy tone, his tail was wagging much faster than earlier, "With the attack on the Theocracy I had made sure to eradicate most of their home army, they will surely cease funding and troops from the Draconic Kingdom escorting their armies back."
"You. Are. Sure. Of. This?" Cocytus asks,
"Of course I am," Demiurge responds before continuing,
"Like dropping dominos, the Draconic Kingdom will ask the Sorcerous Kingdom for assistance, Ainz-sama will make sure friendly ties are established between the two kingdoms."
"With the Kingdom in shambles, Empire as Ainz's vassal, Dwarves as a trade ally, Elves as an ally along with the Draconic kingdom running along Ainz's mercy... I am confident you understand the rest." Demiurge says as he bows towards Ainz before returning to his original position.
"It is and will go all as Ainz-sama predicts."
Albedo's chuckles have been growing louder, she understood the plan fully.
Hm, I see now, the Theocracy will feel trapped being surrounded by nations influenced by the Sorcerer Kingdom. I see, then it won't be long before they collapse on their ego and use Asher as a war pawn against me... It will force them to make the first move...
While Ainz was not a genius compared to the two highest intellects in the room, he understood that much. Even Shaltear nodded in understanding.
"Excellent work Demiurge," Ainz says as he stands up from his throne.
"Ainz-sama please, I was only able to figure this much out through the clues you so generously gave out."
"You understand what you have to do next, correct?" Ainz bluffingly asks.
"Of course Ainz-sama." Demiurge laughingly replies.

Slane Theocracy, Kami Miyako, Underground Meeting Area
.
.
"They should be fine..." A bearded cardinal said in a scarce tone. This was the Cardinal of Earth, Raymond Zarg Lauransan.
"I have faith that the Gods will ensure the Scripture's triumph," Dominic replied.
The other Cardinals nodded as they leaned forward on the table staring at each other waiting for news to return of the outcome of the battle.
The room was dimmed with a little bit of light, lanterns hanging to the side of the stone wall were lit by fire, the Cardinals were sitting on the conference table with sweaty palms, with the events that transpired with the Sunlight scripture, they were all worried.
Perhaps if there weren't any special guards behind each Cardinal then they would feel extremely frightened.
The underground facility created solely for emergency meetings such as these proved useful, no one but a few specific people knew where this place was, not even the extra seat could not find this area, and for good reason.
If the Extra seat were to suddenly betray the Theocracy and start murdering out of control, the Cardinals would need someplace safe to be where she can not find them. Right now the Extra seat was on standby waiting for orders to attack, no, it would be more realistic to say that she is waiting for the Black Scripture to be defeated to determine whether or not the goat-man is worth fighting.
During this time Dominic had calmed down, it took two guards and a very persuasive argument with Raymond for him to stop screaming and shouting about killing the Sorcerer King. Whether or not if this was an act orchestrated by the Sorcerer Kingdom could be fiction or true but something like that during the time was not important, the continued existence of the Theocracy should take the highest priority.
Yvon stayed quiet and did not say a word during any time, whether or not he was shocked or just disgusted by this was unknown, but no one bothered to ask because of the tension that filled the room after being informed that a squad of the Black Scripture was defeated.
The large dull-witted room comprised of Six Cardinals and there were four well-trained guards balanced in melee and magical combat.
Outside of the dim-lighted room heard multiple loud footsteps, they grew louder, sweat began to fall from Raymond's forehead as he glanced over to the wooden door.
Suddenly the loud footsteps stop, and the door smashes open thundering the entire room making everyone nearly jump from their seats.
"Captain are you alright?!" Raymond exclaims,
The captain of the black scripture bolted in, there was not a scratch on him, which was surprising, not because the goat-man magic caster is weak but the cardinals saw how ragged up the Captain's uniform was, the left shoulder plate was dented to the point of no return and his spear looked as if it entered the flames of hell and returned.
Almost stuttering the captain responds in a groaning tone,
"The B-Black Scripture was defeated..."
The Cardinal's hearts drop, almost like a broken bone, their jaw's drop as well, staring fiercely at the captain as a huge brush of wind followed by thunderstorms flowing intensely in the minds of the people in the room, Dominic's eyes turn blank as the other's narrow their dead vision at the captain.
How have they been defeated? Is the goat-man magic caster stronger or is it weakened? Questions like that rushed through Raymond's head.
"W-What, I-Imposs..."
"No, That..."
"I don't..."
Other than the denial, the Cardinals were speechless, as were the elite guards standing next to the doors their faces were full of terror, after the captain had spoken audible gulps could be heard coming from the guards who could not believe their ears.
A sour taste crawled through Raymond's mouth before he could gather the logic to fearfully speak,
"A-Are they in the possession of the goat-man?"
Anyone in this room would not be reluctant to give Raymond a medal and a batch of gold for being the first one to properly speak after the horror that was announced.
"No, Cardinal Raymond." The captain responds with a sigh of relief,
The Cardinals sensed something good but did not dare to speak in hope that bad news wouldn't come,
"The items are safe, our scripture members are safe..." The captain continued to speak,
"What do you mean by that?" With a confused face, Raymond asked as he tilted his head.
"The Gods saved us..."
The Cardinal's eyes went wide.
How have the Gods appeared? How have they showed their might against the demi-humans? Will they continue to help us?
Multiple questions popped up in Raymond's head as the Cardinals were preparing to speak.
"What?" Raymond quitely spouts,
"The Gods..." The captain says with a brief pause before continuing, "The Gods have sent a protector for the Theocracy, an angel, much stronger than anything. The undead will stand no chance."
The Cardinals were standing up, even the oldest one who looked at least two hundred years old stood up staring at the Captain, if the captain was lying about this, then the punishment would be grave.
"A protector? Where is he now?!" Raymond demands as he clenched his fist in both fear and excitement.
The captain purposely ignores the Cardinal and looks over to the already open door, there was light radiating out of it, not like the blinding light from the battle, it was much dimmer than that, but it was bright enough to overflow the entire room.
"Good evening, servants of the true Gods." A beautiful man graciously spoke with a warm smile and in a tender tone, the four-winged angel walked in the room in a polite well-mannered way, any party host would only dream for these types of guests.
Stopping next to the captain the angel stood there waiting for a reaction, the angel wore a pure white robe with a beautiful sword hanging from his waist almost flickering into the cardinal's eyes.
"I-Its true... The captain was right..." An old man grumbled, it was the Cardinal of Water, Ginedine Delan Guelfi.
"The Gods have heeded our prayers..." Berenice muttered.
"Please ease yourselves." The angel spoke as it welcomely smiled, "You must be exhausted, please, take a seat."
Reluctantly the Cardinals slowly stood down, if it weren't for the genuine kindness that the angel showed then the Cardinals would have stayed standing, but the charm radiating from the four-winged angel had swayed everyone in the room almost like a hypnosis spell.
"...This must be a dream, right?" Dominic asked,
"...I don't think it is..." Raymond whispered back.
Ignoring the muttering coming from the Cardinals, Asher begins to speak like a professional giving a speech in front of infants.
"The Gods, have heeded the prayers of the people, the suffering of this world, the cries of the righteous and the slay coming from the wrong, the snake that crawls from your bed, the lion that hunts the weak..."
There was a brief pause
"It shall all disappear,"
Asher continued,
"It pains their hearts to see the suffering of the innocent, smell the blood of the weak and hear the screams of the children..."
Asher paused again as he spread out his wings along with his arms,
"The true Gods have sent a protector, they have deemed you worthy of being under the direct wing of their summon. Rejoice! Your faith has saved you."

The Elven Kingdom, King's Palace
.
.
In a room that could be qualified as a high noble's bedroom two dark elven children sat opposing each other. Behind them were two separate royal beds mainly red in colour with oak as its main base, the two beds sat adjacent to each other only with a small counter separating the two.
After a very short discussion on who sleeps where it was decided that Aura would sleep on the slightly larger bed while Mare was brushed off to the bed that sat closest to the corner.
Mare stood no chance against Aura.
The room was quite large, it was at least seven x five meters and five meters high, far more than anyone would need except of course the Supreme Beings. The dark elves questioned how much bigger the Elven King's room would be if he could accommodate for this.
But other than the magnanimous size of the room, the twins were still displeased about other aspects,
"This is disgusting," Aura confidently spouted as she spits out the tea back into the cup, "Even Shaltear's vampire brides can make better tea."
"I-I mean... these elves a-are n-not created by the supreme b-beings, s-so it's only to be e-expect-ted," Mare replied as he gently pushed the half-drunken cup over to the edge of the small rounded table.
"Yeah yeah, I know," Aura jabs as she leans back on the cushioned pillow with her hands behind her head.
Mare keeps his legs together and stares at the wooden table.
The aetherborn guards kept still, eight of them especially spread across the room for security reasons, other than the two besides the Dark Elves the other aetherborn guards stood near the windows and doors, there were twelve in total, four of them outside.
"Even the beds feel weird!" Aura pouty shouts, "It's not like the beds in Nazarick, why would Ainz-sama want such a country to be with the Sorcerous Kingdom?"
"Mm, I-I see what you m-mean," Mare replies nodding in understanding while ignoring the last question.
No one in Nazarick could ever in their wildest dreams predict Ainz-sama's thoughts, even the two highest intellects can not even imagine the ending of the supreme plan Ainz had created. So Mare hadn't bothered answering that question.
"I don't want to sleep here again~!" Aura pouts as she relaxes every muscle fibre in her body, looking like a small slop on the chair.
The beds in the room loaned to the elves were first-class, even high nobles from any other country would beg for these types of beds along with the regal furniture around the room that would buy for a healthy price, but compared to Nazarick's furniture, it was nothing.
"Mmm... Anyway... when is the Elf king going to attack m-me?" Mare asks,
"Dunno," Aura immediately replies as she sits back up, "If Ainz-sama says that he will then he probably will, it is part of his plan after all,"
"B-But why would he attack me?"
"I don't know, only Ainz-sama can know why...,"
When Albedo had given the detailed report to the Dark Elven twins it was clearly stated that the Elf king would attack Mare and was all part of Ainz's 'Glorious Plan', so naturally, they did not question at first but that did not stop them from being curious about the subject.
While writing Albedo purposefully left out the reason only for the sakes of Mare's innocence and felt no need to tell him anyway, it's not like the elven king can stand between the aetherborn guards, much less Mare himself.
Metal rattling sounds could be heard coming from the door, it was the aetherborn guard and it speedily marched towards Aura and spoke,
"My lady, Aura-sama, an Elven maid wishes to speak to you,"
"Eh, let her in."
A few seconds later a knock was heard.
An average looking elven maid was standing in front of the door looking at the two Dark elven children sitting around almost as if playing tea party, the aetherborn guard assigned to door duty outside was behind her fiercely staring at the maid from behind. The maid knew this and after a few trembles, she began to speak.
"The Elven King wishes to continue discussing the terms of the alliance."
"Okie!" Aura shouts as she childishly jumps out of her seat, Mare stood up gripping his staff.
.
.
In a luxurious room similar to that of the room the Elf King offered to Aura and Mare sat the Elven King.
Unlike the last room that held the last meeting between the two nations, this one was slightly different, the walls looked the same being pure white with golden trimmings and decorations, magical lamps sat on tables. A golden chandelier hanged from the ceiling, it accommodated for most of the light in the vast room.
Water and tea were prepared for the Dark Elves who would be arriving sooner or later. Parallel from where the Elven king sat was a soft sofa which had two huge pillows on both sides.
Fidgeting with the fork the King makes an unsightly facial expression,
What's taking them so long? What has it been... three minutes?
Before the Elven King could scream at the maid stationed next to the door he hears the door creak open,
"Hi hi!" An energetic dark elven child shouts as she runs into the room,
"G-Good evening." The other dark elf greeted as he bowed lightly upon entering.
"Good day," The Elven King said with a bright smile before offering, "Please take a seat."
After the two Dark Elves took a seat something made the King slightly tic, loud marching noises were heard coming into the room, it was the aetherborn guards, they never left Aura and Mare's side, two of them stood a meter back next to the edge of the couch elegantly facing the Elf king.
If only my children were as useful like that... Too bad they were born weak and stupid.
The guards seemed weak to the Elven King, so he hadn't bothered thinking of counter strategies to fight them, only struggling to figure out a way to separate them from the Elves, but those attempts proved futile.
The two elven children were astonishingly attractive, the King could not help but wonder what the parents looked like to birth such beauty, and strength. While the Elven King has never assessed nor seen the power first-hand, he could easily tell whether or not they were strong from the aura they emitted.
Why would the undead send mere children as emissaries representing a nation, is that undead stupid? It'll regret its actions soon enough when I take them for myself...
The Elven King racked his brain for a few moments but did not catch the problem about why the Sorcerer king would send children. Perhaps if the Elven King had the intelligence of Jircniv the Emperor he would have successfully thought of it along with a perfect plan to separate the guards from the elves, but of course, his only good traits was his beauty.
"How is the tea?" The Elf King asks as he rests his back on his sofa.
"Doesn't taste good, but I wouldn't say it's bad either..." Aura says in a blank tone.
You... I'll make sure to...
Secretly frustrated the Elf king tries to keep in his disgusted frown as he replies,
"Oh, that's unfortunate, is there anything else you would like?"
"No, nothing, I don't believe anything here is good."
Gripping his fists a wave of anger flashes through the Elf king's eyes, out of the decades of his rulership there has not been one, not one occasion in which where someone has been so bluntly rude towards him, but if there was anyone that rude to him... they would die a slow death or be sent to the front lines fighting the Theocracy.
Struggling with his facade he asks again,
"I see, what about your stay during the time? Did you enjoy it?"
"No." Aura replied with a bored expression, her attitude was greatly distinct from when she cheerfully walked into the room, perhaps she did not like the quality of the living standards here.
With the great temptation to lash out at the spoiled elf, the Elven king struggles to hold on to his facade so he switches the topic by introducing the main course.
Its time, you are mine...
"Ahem, regarding the alliance between the Sorcerous Kingdom..."
Both Dark Elven children lean forward flickering their ears,
"Mm?"
"Hm?"
"I am not interested." The Elven king said in a flat tone,
Suddenly the door is kicked open, he hears marching footsteps assuming it is his soldiers the King smirks.
Earlier the Elven king made sure to station two times the troops of the aetherborn guards outside in another room to attack and subdue the aetherborn guards, it was the only thing he could think of because he did not wish to deal with twelve men himself when taking the Dark elves.
Even if his children could not defeat the Sorcerorous emissaries guards then they would be able to create a wall separating the children elves from them while the Elf king will try to capture the twins.
"You are now my property," The king says as he notices something wrong from the corner of his eye.
The soldiers who walked in weren't his men, rather it was the aetherborn guards holding the bodies of his men.
Before the king could grab Mare, the aethorborn guards behind Aura and Mare pull back the couch with the Elves on it to a further distance before they could continue surrounding the King,
In an instant all twelve of the guards including the ones that walked in surround the King pointing their dark radiating spears towards the Elven King.
"Get away from me!" The elven king screams as he grabs a spear and tries to pull it.
It did not budge,
"What?!" The Elven King said as he tugged on the spear harder, the aetherborn gripping the spear did not flinch and stayed still.
From behind another aetherborn guard stabs the Elven king at the back of his knee causing him to scream in pain and fall to his other knee facing the elves.
How are these measly guards so strong?!
Mare kept quiet as Aura was contacting Albedo through [Message] about the situation as she smirked looking at the dreadful-looking Elf king.
Struggling the Elf King stands back up only to be punched down by the surrounding guards, blood squirted out of his nose as a screech ran out of his mouth as his face met the ground with a loud thud.
The elven maids ran out with a tiny smirk, most likely to inform other elves of this joyful event.
"You... I'll kill you!" The king shouts pinpointing his vision to the Dark Elves.
In response to the threat, the aetherborn guards kicked him in the stomach.
While the Elven king was an exceptionally strong being in the New world who could fight a group of adamantine adventurers and emerge victoriously he would stand no chance against level ninety-five beings bashing him to a pulp in a group. It was like expecting a level thirty fight a World Enemy in Yggdrasil. The Elven King claimed that he could defeat Momon easily in a few seconds, but that was never confirmed.
"No. You. Won't." Aura mockingly replies as she stands up from her seat followed by Mare who glared at the elf king blankly.
The aetherborn guards immediately pulled out special looking chains imbued with [Unbreakable Item], In Yggdrasil, the spell [Unbreakable Item] could be only used once on any items, this spell was created by the devs, any item that could be broken due to overuse would not break when using this spell.
After the creation of the spell, the players complained and demanded the shitty devs to nerf the spell, so they changed the property of the spell to only affect items such as rope or any minor item used in the early game for players who just started.
Tying up the struggling elf was difficult but not impossible, it took only a few minutes until the king was finally immobilized under the rope,
"Get me out of here!" The Elven King screams as the aethorborn guards returned their last position pointing their spears at the King.
A black swirling portal appears behind the couch, two large muscular demons walkout along with a toned looking demon wearing an orange striped suit, it adjusted his glasses and straightened its back before speaking,
"Good evening Aura, Mare."

Review, please? Thanks.
