RWBY belongs to Monty Oum and Rooster Teeth
POLITICAL SHENANIGANS AHEAD!

Grimoire looked over the group he had brought with him, Ashford Belladonna his Arch Baron, Krieg Crissler his Baron of War, and Samuel Schwarts the Baron of Mountain Glenn. These three and a group of ten guards marched with him towards the capital building that had housed much of Vale's council before the battle of Beacon. "You sure we should address this now boss?" Samuel was the most worried and was holding his spear tight enough that it has bent slightly. "It'll be fine, we just need to get our and Ozzies point across." Grimoire responded. The gates of the complex had before the battle been huge and magnificent but now they were replaced by a massive armored bus since the original gate seemed to be embedded in the wall of the central building. "Who goes there?" A hunter, old and armed to the teeth stood atop the bus looking down at them.

"Lord Grimoire of Chains Gate under Beacon, I seek an audience with the council." Whatever civilians who were near the entryway cleared a path quickly as the gates were opened. "That was easier than expected." Krieg murmured as they walked into the compound and were lead to the main building. "The remaining council is conversing with the other governments of Remnant, on what I do not know." Grimoire nodded as he was lead into the building with his retinue and as they walked through they saw the extent of the damage with the number of corpses of both guards and politicians covered with cloth shrouds. Grimoire stopped by them and took off his helm for a moment bowing his head in the hall, with Krieg and the others of his party following his lead before continuing towards the main council room.

Grimoire stepped into the great hall and noticed most of the seats were empty and only the smallest ring of seats was occupied. He walked down the steps with his advisors leaving the guards to stand by the door. "Councilmen! A pleasure to meet you all at last." The councilmen looked up at him for a moment in shock but soon collected themselves as an elderly man walked forward to meet Grimoire. "I am Abraham, the only elder councilman still alive, I welcome you to our hall, Lord of Chains Gate." Grimoire and Abraham bowed slightly to one another before they and Grimoires followers took the remaining seats in the ring. "How has Vale overall taken the assault, and the fact that there are beings such as us living amongst them?" The council members murmured among themselves for a moment. "Well the support that your people can provide to Vale alone would be incredibly beneficial." Grimoire nodded, his retinue following in the action. "But then again we are not just in Vale, I am just the Lord in Vale. There is Lady Althea of Atlas, Lord Chrysós of Minstrel and Lord Alssariq of Vaccuo. That's only counting the major leaders there is also a large amount of minor Barons in between all of us too many to count, at the moment that is." The councilmen all seemed surprised by this but nodded anyways. "Unfortunately we are not sworn to protect a council, but instead the Monarchs and the academy's." This put the council on guard immediately, they remembered how they had gotten this power, and that was through slowly tearing down the Monarch's power in Vale with espionage and blackmail. "As such we are only here to announce to you that the Monarchs and schools of the kingdoms will receive support, the councils however will not until further notice."

The councilmen seemed to understand this and after more muttering their speaker stood. "I would like to make a deal with the Vampyres of Remnant, should your people act as a security force for Vale until we regroup our forces, then you shall be granted any boon you require in Vale." Grimoire stroked his chin for a moment. This boon could do immense good in the long run so he considered all he could do with it, he could use it to gain more rights for the Fauni people in Vale, he could gain influence over the council, or the hunters of Vale, or he could use his boon to generally improve relations.

"Deal but we will judge any criminals as we see fit, such as a recent prisoner who is paying back Vale for his crimes alongside his assistant." The council seemed to surge to deny him but the sound of crunching bone and splintering wood stopped them as the speaker slammed his fist into the table. "Enough, we accept your offer, Lord Grimoire, now why did you bring other people's of your kind here?" Krieg and Ashford smiled. "We are here to act as a military and Faunus relation advisor pair, since you lot botched Faunus relations this far Ashy here is going to take over while I retrain your military force to fight like an actual army, not a rabble of armed punks." The councilmen nodded. "We shall grant you permission to train our forces. We would like to oversee the Faunus relations personally…"

"Your previous attempts along with those of Atlas and other minor groups has only resulted in more Fauni and people who ally themselves to them gathering strength and power under your nose, and look where that's landed you. We will mend the human-faunus relations not you." The councilmen almost rose in uproar until Ashford brought his fist down upon the table. "SILENCE! The Beacon students are far better tempered than you, gods…" Ashford sat down while glaring at them from his seat, The other Vampyres doing similarly. Samuel Schwarts leaned forward steepling his fingers and fixing his glare slightly as his soft voice carried throughout the hall. "So to sort this out let's start from the top, What permissions will you be giving the Vampyres of Remnant?"

Short Chapter yadda yadda. How are my good readers today? Summers coming up and I am going to a camp for the summer so that means that I will probably be able to keep uploading just not at my usual Gusto. Have a great beginning of summer LP out.
