[VRMMO] Dead One

[Current location: Garog Empire Capital City]

"Well then, if you would need anything else, please contact me." – said the servant.

"I understand, thank you." – said the dragon princess as the servant then left the room.

"…"

"So…. The information is correct?"

"Yes your majesty." – said the female voice behind the princess.

"The Sabath is truly working alongside the Garog empire to create a brand-new city…. A city of witches and mages."

[City Of Witches And Mages – Mogrun – Under construction]

(To think that this empire could make alliance with the witches….) - thought the dragon princess.

(From what I've found out, the empire original made an alliance deal with the witches on the basic level where they would build school and the magic tower…. However, after the Garog empire obtained the entire continent, this deal was expanded.)

(Now the witches will also have a brand-new city build in their name.)

(Witches do sometimes partially leave the Sabath in order to form alliances and such… But the instances where the Sabbath DIRECTLY forms an alliance with nations is…. Quiet hard to hear about….)

(So to think that they did it with the Garog empire was beyond expected.)

"…"

"So… What do you think about it?" – asked the dragon princess as she turned around, facing her two female dragonewt looking bodyguards with two toned hair, yellow and white.

"Honestly…. This empire is dangerous." – said the body guard with a hair over her left side of her face.

"Indeed… They may not had fully recovered just after the war…. But from what seen so far? Their military power is beyond terrifying." – said the body guard with a hair over her right side of her face.

[Mio Burash {the one with hair covered left side of her face} and Wio Burash {the one with hair covered right side of her face}]

(These two were sent as my replacement for my idiot brother who straight up picked a fight with the emperor ClownFrog….)

(Still… These two?)

(Both of them are dragonian belonging to the thunder dragons' race…)

(Mio and Wio normally works for my mother, since they not only they are excellent advisors but also a pair of bodyguards.)

(The reason why they sent these two as my body guards wasn't only of their power… But to somewhat gather information….)

(However, for some reason out of nowhere, the behavior towards us changed… Did something happened?)

*Knock* *Knock*

"Who is it?" – asked Mio.

"Messenger." – replied the voice behind the door.

"I have brough news that the emperor ClownFrog has returned and wishes to hold an urgent meeting with the princess Aworia Pyrgos Sapiene."

"!"

"Please come in!" – said the princess before moments later the messenger was let into the room.

[Sometime later: Castle Guest Room]

"…"

*Knock* *Knock*

"Enter." – said ClownFrog while looking through the documents.

"Your majesty. I've had brough princess Aworia Pyrgos Sapiene and her body guards." – said the messenger as he entered the room.

"Let them all in." – said ClownFrog as the dragon princess with her two body guards entered the room.

"W-"

"Sit. We have a lot of things to talk about." – said ClownFrog before the princess could even say anything.

"And I mean it."

"…"

"I understand." – said Aworia as she sat down on the sofa across the table while her two guards stood behind the princess.

"…"

"Well then, first thing first." – said ClownFrog.

"I'm sorry for calling you here so suddenly, but unfortunately we have to talk about a lot of things right now."

"So excuse my sudden rudeness if it offended you in any form or shape."

"There is no need to worry about this, your majesty." – replied the princess.

"So please don't be bothered by it one bit."

"…"

"I see." – said ClownFrog.

"Well then… Let's get down to the business." – said ClownFrog as he took out a small pyramid shaped object and activated it, causing an energy way to suddenly cover the entire room.

"!"

(Sound proof barrier!) – thought alarmed princess who instantly realized what the device was for.

"First thing first." – said ClownFrog.

"The information that you have provided me about the Tomb Of The Lich Lord was indeed correct."

"The tomb does exist and was exactly where you have pointed."

"Therefore, the deal of an alliance and marriage can be consider possible."

"!"

(So does that mean….?) – thought the dragon princess before then noticing something off.

"Can? But wasn't that-"

"Set in stone? Yes." – replied ClownFrog.

"Unfortunately, there was a development from your side."

"The dragon empire, YOUR empire has launched a direct attack against me and even sent assassin in order to stop."

"Which in turn did kind of revealed that one of the fucking terrorists named Alamin who aimed to destroy the whole continent was working for one of your empire dragon kings."

"So… Do you get where this is going?" – said ClownFrog as Aworia face was completely drained out of the color upon hearing the news.

"E-eh?"

(Wait…. So, the reason why the attitude suddenly changed towards us…. Was because….?!) – thought sweating princess.

"W-wait! Is there any confirmation who ordered the attack!? Which dragon king?!" – asked panicking princess.

"Nah." – replied ClownFrog.

"They made sure to not completely expose themselves."

"However, they needed to reveal the fact that they are the dragon kings in order to attempt and stop me from obtaining the treasure of the Lich Lord."

"By the looks of things they were completely desperate, but not foolish."

"However, the soldiers that came my way weren't some random fucking dragons. They were elite dragon soldiers."

"But at the same time, I know it wasn't your father."

"I realize that the dragon kings aren't exactly 'UNITED' per say."

"And I know maybe few reasons why your father wants this marriage and alliance to happened."

"However, now that I know there are people willing to fight me if not just destroy entire continent that are members of the dragon kings…. It does make situation bit more complicated, doesn't it?"

"…"

"Y-yes…. It does." – said the nervous princess.

(Dammit! What the hell happened!?) – thought panicking princess who couldn't keep her poker face upon hearing the news.

(I knew that some of the dragon kings may pick a fight with us, but to straight up attack with an army and assassins!?)

(Not only that, but did he said something about attempting to destroy the entire continent!?)

(One of the dragon kings really tried that?!)

"…"

"So…. I wanted you to know this." – said ClownFrog.

"However!"

"I'm still willing to consider the marriage and alliance."

"?!"

"E-eh!?" – the princess and her two body guards stared surprised.

"Hm? What is up with this expression? I mean I've told you that I know it wasn't your father doing." – said ClownFrog calmly.

"He didn't broke his word or anything."

"If anything, somebody is intentionally trying to sabotage the deal to make sure it will never be finished."

"…"

"But you also said that the one who is trying to sabotage it is non other than a dragon king from our empire." – said nervous princess.

"So why are you still considering taking the deal?!"

(In the current circumcenters, he has all right to refuse both the marriage and alliance after what happened…. So why is he still willing to do it?!) – thought distrustful princess.

(Is he by any chance going to ask for something?! Like a compensation?!)

"Hm…. Let's just say…. It will be beneficial for both sides."

"As for the compensation… Just simple favor will do that I can use later."

"And that is it."

"As long as your father hears these news and promises me a small promise in the future, I can agree to both the marriage as well as alliance right on the spot."

"…"

"Eh?"

(Wait…. Is that really it?!) – thought shocked princess.

(No matter how I look at it, he can demand something big or important! But instead, he chose a 'favor'?!)

(Does that favor have some sort of hidden meaning or maybe he is aiming archive something with it?!)

"…"

(Then again… This maybe the only way we can possible secure the alliance as well as marriage.)

"…"

"I understand…. I will consult my father about this…." – said nervous princess.

"Although… Can I ask something?"

"…"

"Go ahead." – said ClownFrog.

"Did…. Did you…."

"…"

"Did you conquered the Tomb Of The Lich Lord?"

"Hm…. Good question." – said ClownFrog.

"Who can tell?" – replied ClownFrog with a smile.

"…"

"I understand." – replied nervous princess.

"Good…." – said ClownFrog.

"Well then, do you want me to leave this room? I can deactivate this device to let communication tools work again, so if you like you can contact your father here."

"N-no… We need to take a leave." – said the princess.

"I'm sorry if I'm disrespectful, but upon hearing these news, I need to hold a long discussion with my father to truly understand what to do past this point."

"Hm… Fair point." - said ClownFrog.

"Well, one you make up your mind, please don't hesitation to contact me."

"I won't be leaving the empire any time soon…. So please."

"Do take your time and inform me once you make up your mind."
