Chapter 220
Iris and her team sat in the palace room waiting, food and drinks were being served to them. Iris and her team didn’t mind indulging in the human culture so ate and drank while sharing jokes among themselves.
All of a sudden, Iris and her team looked towards the throne, they could feel a powerful presence walking out from behind the throne. Seeing Erik for the first time in flesh confirmed Iris’ suspicion that he wasn’t really a human.
"King Erik, we come with the hope and intent to aid you in this dark time. We believe we have a way to counter Silas’s influence and restore the so desperately needed"
Erik stood, his posture still tense but his expression one of caution. At first he was ecstatic of hearing that the Harpies are willing to help but as he went back to his room to prepare himself, the excitement died down as he began thinking clearly once again.
"If even the Harpies were able to solve Silas’ problem for them. The discussion on their actions against his envoys still had to be brought up"
"Especially considering the fact that even after their bizzare action, they still proudly made their way into his home which was an insult to him and his kingdom"
"He could accept their help now but that means he will lose all credibility to hold them accountable for their past actions as they can simply overrule it by claiming that they were the savior of his people ’’ Erik thought to himself.
After dealing with Silas, Erik was now able to see beyond the current situation. If this problem is solved, another problem will arise which will be his own people questioning him of his ability to govern their kingdom.
What will he say to the family of those envoys dropped from the sky, it may seem that that situation has been forgotten but that was only because of Silas issue which took everyone’s mind of their fellow human being dropped down from the sky and turned into the red paint on the ground.
