Chapter 177 - Mauri's Offer

The members of the alliance all sit down cautiously, while I stare a hole right through Mauri while thinking to myself.

"all I need is a good opening and I can get her."

Mauri turns her head to me and says.

"oh it looks like you survived my attacks, that is very impressive."

I don't respond, instead I continue to stare with malicious intentions on my mind.

"we shouldn't be here negotiating with a crazy psychopath like her."

she smiles at me and then asks one of the members of the alliance.

"can you put your little dog on a leash? we are only here to talk."

"easy Collin, she hasn't done anything yet."

I get angry because that is a complete lie, since Mauri used her influence on Paula so that she can kill my family, I grit my teeth and reply.

"fine."

King Dave adds on.

"let's not jump to conclusions just yet Collin, remember we came here to hear her out."

I reply still gritting my teeth.

"alright, I get it."

Mauri smiles.

"I'm glad we all understand each other, so about we start talking."

"who is representing this alliance of Humans, Elves and Dwarves?"

King Furential replies

"don't forget Demi Humans of the Dwarf region are also part of the alliance."

she laughs.

"oh how silly of me."

she looks around and asks him

"so where are the Kings or Queens that represent

the Demi Humans?"

he clears his throat and emphasizes the part where Demi Humans living in all the Dwarf Kingdoms.

"the Demi Humans live alongside as citizens in the Dwarven Kingdoms."

she responds.

"oh I see, so they never reclaimed the home that the Dragonoids drove them out of?"

after he shakes his head, she turns to me and says with mischievous grin.

"you hear that Mr. Dog? the Dragonoids like your useless and wingless friend drove the poor Demi Humans from their homes."

I reply holding trying to hold back the anger on my voice.

"yes I heard loud and clear."

I think to myself.

"this bitch is trying to agitate me and the worst part of it all, it's actually working."

she focuses her attention back to everyone else and asks.

"so can someone answer my question I asked before? who is representing this whole facade you all call an alliance?"

she then chuckles after looking at King Furential.

"because I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't make a Dwarf a representative."

King Dave replies.

"it's me."

she laughs.

"your are just a child, there is no way that you would be a representative."

she looks at the others and laughs hysterically

after everyone just stares at her with their serious expressions.

"you can't be serious?"

"wow, the all powerful alliance that was dead and buried a hundred years ago, has been resurrected just so it can be run by a mere child?"

King Dave asks annoyed.

"can we stop all of this and start talking with whatever deal you had in mind?"

she sits down, and sighs.

"yeah I completely forgot about that."

she clears her throat and gets serious.

"alright then, this what I had in mind."

she pauses and looks at King Dave, but she doesn't say a word, so then King Dave asks confused.

"is something wrong?"

"are you not going to write this down?"

he sighs.

"yeah, just go ahead and tell us what you want, instead of wasting our time."

she shakes her head and says with an offended tone.

"you send your attack dogs on my disciples and followers, causing all kinds of irreversible damage like the deaths of two of my chosen ones."

I ask.

"Paula isn't dead, we managed to remove whatever corrupt influence you put on her mind."

she replies.

"I wasn't talking about that child who has disappointed me, there was another who got killed by that crazy friend of yours Remy."

I chuckle and think to myself.

"good job Remy, I shouldn't have underestimated you."

I then respond.

"your group of fanatics, have been kidnapping

many people throughout the many kingdoms in the human region and have been eating them."

she laughs amused.

"wow, so the dog started barking without the permission of his owner."

she then demands King Dave.

"put your dog back on his leash and keep him from barking."

he looks at me and says.

"I know you don't like any of this, but we need to her out, and you can't keep lashing out, when you atr angry."

she smiles and winks at me.

"yes now sit down and be a good dog."

she then asks with a serious tone.

"alright let's stop playing and get down to business shall we?"

King Dave sighs.

"well that is why we are here, so what did you have in mind when you mentioned about all of us coexisting?"

I scoff.

"she brings an army of Orcs and her and her cult are responsible of the death of many innocent people and then all of the sudden she wants to coexist?"

King Dave glares at me, almost like his threatening to be quiet, Mauri giggles at me and the responds to the question I raised to King Dave.

"well circ.u.mstances have changed anf it will benefit to have the alliance at my side nice and ready for what's coming."

confused in what she meant by that, he asks her.

"what are you talking about? what's coming?"

she replies.

"there is a self proclaimed Demon King rising on ranks and gathering support in the hell dimension."

I ask not believing a word she just said.

"stop making up some fantasy to justify your actions."

she continues.

"if you leave us alone and let me gather strength I need to challenge this Demon King."

King dave asks.

"and how would you gather this strength that you need?"

she responds.

"obviously, you would let us operate back to normal, without the worry of being attacked."

King Dave asks.

"so you want us to not do anything about, you kidnapping and eating people?"

she snaps her finger and replies with a smile.

"exactly."

I shake my head and made an outburst.

"bullshit, you really think we'll allow that to happen?"

Mauri replies.

"unless you want an all out war the Orcs, then I would suggest to take this offer."

I then get pissed off, seeing the members of the alliance are actually contemplating her offer.

"f.u.c.k this shit, I don't want any part of this."

but suddenly Mauri's eye color, change to the well known milky white eyes, and her voice changes into a more sinister and slightly more masculine tone.

"I guess it's time to reveal the truth about what is going on and everything I have set in motion."

the air and mana in the room suddenly changes to a very uneasy and unfamiliar aura, that sends shivers down the spine of everyone present, Mauri then continues speaking n the same time.

"My name is Damien and I'm the official host of this body that used to belong to Mauri."

completely blindsided by these turn of events I think to myself.

"what in the f.u.c.k is even happening?"
