[VRMMO] Dead One

"Is this it?" – asked ClownFrog as he stared at the mirror like communication device.

"Yes sir. The people working the first princess said that this is an two way communication mirror." – said the female vampire soldier.

"They said that they want to use that mirror to hold an private conversation between the king of the Garog kingdom as well as the leader of the first princess faction."

"…."

"What do you think she wants to talk about?" – asked Blueberry.

"I don't know, but it better if I agree to the talk." – said ClownFrog.

"I can't say I'm not curios about."

(Unlike the first and second prince who focused on their influence and military power within the empire, the first princess took on different approach of trying to form an friendly relationships with the neighboring nations.)

(However, after the crimes of the third prince had been exposed to the world, regarding him being the truly one doing the attacks on the other nations while also trying to blame on us, the first princess alliances must have been damaged.)

(Not only that, but none of the factions defeated the third prince, but instead us. An brand new kingdom.)

(There is also the fact that some of the people that we had rescued decided to stay and become part of Garog kingdom, since they felt "safe" with us, with in turn must have damaged the first princess relationship with other nations even more.)

(We saved these people that the first princess promised to save, but the one who did the saving in the end was us.)

(And considering that the first princess main power comes from the neighboring kingdoms, her faction power may be already crumbling apart.)

(With makes her proposal for the private talk be even more interesting.)

The mirror was brough to the throne room before getting activated as the soldiers and knights left the room.

After activating the mirror, ClownFrog sat down on his throne in his humanoid form and waited…. After a while, the mirror turned on, revealing an Amelia Oin.

"!"

(Wait, isn't this that thing from back then?!) – though confused Amelia.

"I'm ClownFrog. King of Garog kingdom."

"I heard you wanted to talk with me. Princess Amelia Oin."

"!"

(Wait?! That is ClownFrog?! So does that mean he can change his forms?!) – though Amelia.

(Well, he is an dragon and I did heard that some more powerful dragon species may posses an ability to take on human form…..)

"Greeting. King of Garog kingdom." – said Amelia.

"I'm Amelia Oin."

"Lets drop the pleasantries and get right to the business, shall we?" – said ClownFrog.

"What do you want?"

"…."

"Is there any room for the peace talk?" – sked nervous Amelia.

"Peace talk? Are you fuking kidding me?" – said visible angry ClownFrog.

"Do you really think there can be peace between us?"

"And I don't think either of your brothers would agree to the peace talk as well. They are greedy and prideful."

"Why the hell are you asking for an impossible?"

"And from what I believe, you are losing your own power, aren't you?"

"You did not prevented your stupid brother Simon from abducting and turning innocent people into the monsters, that included not only the people of the empire, but also people from the neighboring kingdoms."

"You are losing trust of your allies and the Oin empire itself had started losing trust in you people."

"You are getting weaker. Both in physical and political power."

"That what you are doing right now looks like an desperate move."

"We had not only cleared after your mess, but we had also saved the Oin empire, AGAIN."

"?!"

"Wait, what do you mean by again?" – said confused and nervous Amelia.

"…."

"Do you know the name Amadeus?" – asked ClownFrog before then explaining the entire story behind the Amadeus, behind his god betrayal as well as the Oin empire betray and the fact that the Amadeus planned on destroying the Oin empire.

(The traitorous dragon Amadeus from the legends… He was real!?) – though Amelia.

(But wait, if what he had told me, then the entire story behind the Amadeus…. DAMN! That holy dragon church! They hid their mess!)

(And this is all they probably hid… I will have to purge that entire church later.)

(But right now, I have bigger problem.)

(This bastard have not one chain wrapped around Oin empire neck, but two now.)

(They maybe our enemies, but they saved Oin empire twice and its people.)

(Not only that, but now he has an second think to black mail us. The informations about Amadeus.)

(It was the old Oin empire fault, but some people may still think that it was the current royal family fault.)

(Dammit! What the hell are those guys aim?)

(They said that they want to destroy Oin empire, but they also saved it twice…. They want to conquer it. Destroy the Oin empire and take it over, creating an Garog empire.)

(Shit. I guess I'm going with the option [D].)

"Can I ask you something?" – asked Amilia.

"…. Yes." – replied ClownFrog.

"Your goal is to conquer the Oin empire, is that correct?" – asked nervous Amelia.

"This is correct." – said ClownFrog.

"And we won't be showing mercy if you are wondering about that."

"Well, you will have an harder time now moving unfortunately." – said Amelia.

"I presume you had heard about the contract between the four heirs."

"Yes I did in fact heard about and yes I know about all the stuff written on it." – said ClownFrog.

"Let me guess, you three are forced to do an ceasefire in order to deal with the enemy of the empire, A.K.A Garog kingdom."

"Yes… Even if the first prince faction and the second prince faction are not as strong as the third prince faction army was, together they are still quiet dangerous enemy." – said Amelia.

"And not only that, they are not some idiots like that idiot Simon."

"They know how to use strategies, they have loyal soldiers and leaders that do have an ability to lead the soldiers."

"You will have an way harder time fighting them, even though they don't have monsters soldiers like Simon did."

"…."

"What are you explaining it all to me?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Are you trying to scare me or something?"

"Let me tell you this. I'm not scared."

"I know that these two haven't used all of their forces yet, but so are we."

"And let me ask you this, "Litle girl". Do you really think that you can beat us? So far, the only one truly losing, was Oin empire."

"No. I don't think there is an 100% chance of beating you." – spoke up suddenly Amelia, confusing ClownFrog.

"Honestly, these guys don't even see you as the true enemy."

"In fact, both Apollo and Erun are more fixated on dealing with their "Competition" instead of you. They see you as nothing more than random problem that they can just stomp down."

"However, after your quick victory over the Simon faction, something that neither of these fools could accomplish, they started to see you as some annoying threat now."

"But even so…. *Sigh*, they are still more focused on taking over the empire."

"These two guys are hopeless."

"…."

"So? What the hell you want me to do about it?" – asked annoyed ClownFrog.

"Kill both of them and then let you become the empress of the empire in order to stop the war?"

"But I already said that I won't stop until Oin empire is no more."

"If this is where this is conversation is going, then I'm ending the call." – said ClownFrog as he tried standing up from his throne.

"I will yield my right to the throne." – said Amelia.

"!"

"…."

"Go on." – said ClownFrog as he sat down back on his throne.

"True. I want to rule the empire and true that I'm greedy." – said Amelia.

"But I'm not as blind as them."

"This war would ravage the entire empire and I don't want to rule the empire of ruins."

"Not only that, I do care about my people lifes."

"So I want to make an proposition."

"An ceasefire between my faction and your kingdom."

"And if you win, I want to have my people safety guaranteed and I want to have some high ranking position in your kingdom."

"…."

"Okay. Stop right fuking there." – said ClownFrog.

"Do you have any idea how STUPID that proposal is?"

"Ceasefire? Are you fuking stupid?"

"I know that killing people for no reason won't benefit me, but killing you WOULD benefit me."

"And you think you have any military power? Your allies are leaving you or had stopped trusting you, and these guys were your main source of power."

"Your faction can get easily crush and at any moment, any forces that were lend to you may end up being taken back."

"The same goes for the political power. Your power in that region is also diminishing."

"If anything, sparing you and taking you into our kingdom after conquer the empire would make things complicated and annoying for us."

"Give me at least 1 solid reason, 1 GOOD FUKING REASON on why I should I accept your proposal."

"Since so far everything you said is straight up asking me if I'm an idiot."

"…."

"You do realize that many people of the empire are still scared of you and don't trust you, right?" – said Amelia nervously.

"If you were to take over the empire, then these people would either rebel or run away."

"However, with me around, the stability within the empire would get much better and I have also connection with the neighboring, allowing you to do the negotiation much smother with them."

"…."

(True…. Taking over the empire is one thing, but the other is stability.) – though ClownFrog.

(The approach we had in mind was to become an tyrants early on in order to inflict our control on the people…. But with more peaceful and easy approach, we may end up gaining stability in the kingdom way quicker.)

(Not only that, but gaining an figure that can communicate easily with the neighboring kingdoms would be crucial.)

(But, the problem is with trusting her.)

(If she denounce her right to the throne, who says that the two other factions won't see this as possible act of betrayal and attack her? We may end up being forced…. No. They wouldn't do that, unless she announces that she is joining Garog kingdom, THEN they would 100% attack her and want her dead.)

(If we do give her an high ranking position, like an title of the duke, then it could work for our favor…But there are still a lot of people on our side that hate the Oin kingdom, especially the vampires who were originally victims of the third prince. They now burn with hatreat towards Oin empire and royal family, meaning that they may not look kindly of me recruiting her to our side and giving her high ranking position.)

(But still, she did tried actively searching and rescuing the slaves according to our reports and not all of our ex-slaves are from the Oin empire, meaning that they may forgive her or give her an chance to prove herself.)

(Not only that, but having somebody of the Oin empire royal blood in our kingdom may somewhat improve our reputation.)

(And its not like she is betraying the empire for position, but instead betraying it to save her people.)

(Nobles may end up despising her, but we are planning on purging many of them if not straight up enslaving them, meaning that there won't be problem there.)

(Her proposition now sounds solid and good….. But there would be definitely some trouble along the way…. Is it worth it though?)

(….)

(No wait.)

(There is one more benefit here.)

(The 'Staff'. She may hold some informations about it.)

(We still don't know if that 'benefactor' is still in the empire, trying to get the 'staff' on their own or they had leached to another faction.)

(We still don't know who they are, what goals they have or just anything.)

(But if those bastards ARE still in the empire and are planning on making another mess, we may end up being affected by it.)

(Finding and acquiring the 'Staff' as soon as possible may be the best possible outcome.)

(….But we are talking about "her" right now and not some random noble…An member of the empiric family.)

(I will need to talk about it with them before I make an decision.)
