Chapter 721: A Royal Discord
Moments before Maria’s talk with Raven, another guest had made its entrance in the royal hall. Standing before the giants was the hero of this land and its people, Frazer Coastrom. And with him were a collection of four girls, each from a different monster tribe that lived in the oceanic desert.
At a glance, the giants were enraged, but the proposition that he’d brought satiated their ire.
"Let me march with that army. I’ll help them defeat the general, but also make sure that none of them can come back to this city alive again." Their ears perked up at the suggestion, but what did the hero stand to gain from such a deal? Well, they didn’t wait or think about the matter as stepping forward. Muena added.
"In return, our worship of Asmareth continues, and the people of my clans and the other girls behind me get to live within these walls."
The giants turned heads and looked at each other, unsure what to make of the request and confused as to why a monster would even want to worship a god that doesn’t accept their prayers. And yet batting a knowing eye, the two smiled weakly and turned their attention back to the hero standing to their front.
"I’ll allow it," said the king.
"What?! My lord, I have to insist that this will only fuel the animosity between us and the army!"
"If that army remains, that is!" Melenai tried to talk sense, but was quickly interrupted by Frazer.
Stepping forward with loud, firm footsteps, he matched the advisor’s gaze.
"This is moronic!" Melenai yelled, frustrated, bleeding through her vision.
