Chapter 389 Asking For A Truce

"Our husband?" Ancient Tamal gazed at the drakani girls standing there, some of which were princesses, and two were people he did not recognize.

"Yes, we are all our husband's wives and live very harmoniously. Anyway, I am sure you are here due to the message that I sent to the throne room, are you not?" Clance asked. It did not take a genius to figure out why one of the dragonic ancients was here.

"That is the case. I also wanted to speak with your husband, but it seems I came at a bad time. But for now, are you able to make decisions for the entirety of Destiny City?" Ancient Tamal asked.

"It depends on what you are asking. But this is no place to talk, so please follow me into a meeting room." Clance motioned with her hand as the group of girls turned and walked towards the Palace entrance.

Ancient Tamal had to admit that Clance and the other girls seemed to have changed since coming here. They seemed more queen like than the queen of the dragonic herself. They also seemed more down to earth and friendly. As if they do not look down on anyone. This kind of feeling was strange and something he was not used to, but he could see that these girls seemed to be very happy.

Ancient Tamal was brought into a meeting room where he was asked to sit on what he considered a very comfortable couch. A few maids came over and served him tea and pastry, things he had never had before but found very delicious. "Even the slave girls here are very beautiful." Ancient Tamal mused out loud.

"Excuse me, but it's rude to place us on the lines of slaves. We only work in the palace. We are hired help called maids and not something like slaves. Our Destiny City does not have a system for slavery. Only prisoners are subjected to such treatment but are never mistreated, unlike the slaves of other clans." The one who spoke was a small elf maid who looked like she wouldn't hurt a fly, but right now, she was radiating a large amount of killing intent, not due to being called a slave but due to her home being disgraced in such a way! She would not have her Lord's reputation tarnished in the slightest!

"Ah…. I do apologize…." Ancient Tamal felt pressure from this little maid. Even if he could squash her with his hand, he still felt the need to apologize when he looked at the puffed out cheeks and anger filled eyes that were radiating killing intent. It was as if she left no room for anything but an apology.

The maid smiled as she bowed her head slightly: "As long as you understand."

Clance, who watched things from the side, smiled. "As you can see, the people of Destiny City love this place and are willing to protect it even in the face of those more powerful. Although the most powerful person in this room is not you." CLance motioned with her head towards the guards.

It was not that Ancient Tamal was not acknowledging their existence, but for his own health, he was doing his damnedest to ignore them. But hearing Clance's words, he could only chuckle and say: "Your guards are truly impressive."

"Hmmm? I wasn't talking about them. I was talking about Sister Gemini, that just came back in." Clance smiled brightly at Gemini as she slithered over.

"Sister Gemini?" Ancient Tamal looked at the Naga girl in front of him, and when his eyes locked with her, he felt as if he was looking at a god. He quickly lowered his eyes and did not dare look back up. He was actually so glad he was acting humble, or else he might not even know how he died.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Ancient Tamal. Although this is not our first meeting, after all, it was me who shoved you into a void during the tomb expedition."  Gemini's meaningful smile caused Ancient Tamal, who had looked back up at her as she spoke, to quickly look back down. He now understood that he was very lucky!

"Ahem…." Clance patted Gemini's hand as a signal for her to stop pressuring the old man. Gemini giggled and kissed Clance's cheek before picking up her tea cup. "Now then, let me know why you have come."

"I am here to form a truce with the drakani. His majesty does not wish for a war to break out between the two powers. So we are hoping we can form a truce." Ancient Tamal replied. He knew it was making his dragonic clan seem weak, but at this time, just the snake girl in front of him was enough to wipe out the entire dragonic clan. Her power was immense.

"A truce? I would like to know why you would think we would say yes to a truce. Do you not understand that your crown prince sent an army of a few million dragons and dragonic to our doorstep trying to wipe us out? Do you really think you have the right to ask for a truce? Thousands of citizens of Destiny City died that day. While we won in the end, even with the numbers against us, it still resulted in a huge loss.

"The families of the fallen would not respect us and would look down on our husband if I were to agree to such a ludicrous idea. Our husband had to carry the loss of these lives on his shoulders. He cared deeply for the people of this city, and you had to go and kill them. Do you think the dragonic have a right to ask for anything?" Clance's voice was clear. Her standpoint was also clear. To try to form a truce with them was asking them to spit on the fallen's graves. It was not something that they could agree to easily. At least Clance knew that Blake would never agree to such a thing.
