Chapter 296
"The wedding after parties are open to the public, the Capital city will be celebrating for two days after the ceremony is complete." The Imperial Guard confirms and the Lycans laugh.
"Only two days for a wedding party? That’s alright, we’ll teach you how a party is supposed to go." Beta John insists with a very large grin.
The Titans look a bit dubious at that prospect, but the Demons, Dragons and the Nephilim are with the Lycans on this one. Two days isn’t nearly enough time for a right proper Royal Party. The Nephilim celebrate for a week, and the Divine Plane Lycans still feel that they’re being chased out unnecessarily early.
After all, if you live forever, what’s one single week? Nothing at all.
Everyone chats about parties, weddings and other social functions they’ve attended over the years as we finish lunch, and the groups are finally starting to mingle. The mood in the room is much better when the trial resumes, with everyone looking forward to a bunch of rowdy Lycans crashing a Titan wedding party.
But before the mediator can even call a witness for the afternoon session the Titan Prince stands to offer a compromise settlement. The city of Deimos will be abandoned and all residents sent to a world of their choice. But the Titan Council admits no guilt or ongoing liability in the case.
That’s going to be far from enough for many of the people held here. They’ve lost everything, including large portions of their lives to this city. They’re not likely to get a much better offer though. If it’s not this, then the most likely answer is a very bloody war.
"The non Titan residents of Deimos have been left penniless by this unfortunate situation. Wouldn’t it be a much more palatable compromise if the Titan Clan were to cover their resettlement expenses?" Ragnar the Red Dragon suggests without looking up.
That’s not going to be cheap, there’s millions of them. But the Titans don’t really have any other options to avoid war. That might be why Ragnar suggested it though. If the cost is too high and they opt for battle, he will gladly join in with that beautiful sword he’s been polishing all morning.
