Chapter 390 Wanting To Stay….

Ancient Tamal could not argue with these words. A good ruler would not allow his people to suffer. A good ruler would listen to his people's words. He wondered just when did the dragonic forget such qualities? His race never used to treat their own kind as they do now. For some reason, the idea of war took over, and now their entire race was militarized. From the day they were born, they were born to become soldiers to die for their clan.

"I see... I can understand where you are coming from." Ancient Tamal really had no way to persuade Clance to form a truce.

"I do not know what that father of mine is plotting, but I can say this. No matter how much you all grow in strength, you can not defeat this city. This city will grow in strength faster than any of you can ever imagine. But remember, we are also a peaceful place. We do not attack those who do not attack us. We offer protection to everyone.

"Even if we expand our lands beyond what it is now, we will not forcefully remove people from their homes. They can continue living where they are even if we wrap our city walls around them. But most clans are happy to join us and come under our wing. We have yet to meet a clan who wanted to continue living in fear. The safety and freedom we give our people are unlike your dragonic clan. And our people are our bottom line.

"So as long as you do not try to harm us, we will not go after you. But sadly, you already crossed that bottom line." Clance spoke coldly as she looked at the Ancient Tamal in front of her. "Tell my father that the truce can not happen. But we will not attack him any time soon. But let it be known that the first time anyone from the dragonic clan comes to this place with ill intentions, we will not hesitate to destroy the entire clan."

"Princess Clance, you would go against your own kind!?" Ancient Tamal could not accept this. She was a princess of the dragonic clan. How could she make such threats?

"I am no longer a princess but a wife. What our husband wants and cherishes, we will fight for. Even if it means making our own kind extinct." Clance's voice was filled with determination. When it came to Blake, all the dragonic girls there were willing to fight against their own clan, even if it meant wiping it out completely. None of them ever felt any love from the clan anyway. They were nothing but tools for them to use as a means of strengthening those in power.

"Before you ask again on how I can say this, I will say it now. Thinking back. What has the dragonic clan ever done for us princesses or those who were not of the royal line? My father and the queen only care about the ones who are to succeed them. They do not care about the children. Otherwise, why would you give Titi to my husband so easily? Even you are guilty of this sin."  Clance once again made the Ancient Tamal speechless. He could not refute a single word.

"Not that I am complaining. After all, Husband treats each of his wives the same as even his concubines. He allows us all to be ourselves and comforts us when we are down. He treats us as precious gems and cares about us. His daughters' all love him. He spends time playing with them and having slumber parties with them so they can all be with him. He understands what it means to be a parent. But you all sent me here without even thinking about it." Titi stepped forward and spoke. She was happy she had met Blake. After knowing him and understanding the way he thinks and acts, he was someone who truly cared for his family deeply.

"Are the ways of the dragonic truly wrong?" Ancient Tamal slowly began to understand what this leader of Destiny City was like. He was a man who had everything under his control but, at the same time, took care of the people under him who relied on him to keep their lives going.

"That is for you to decide. We can not decide that for you. We only know what we see day in and day out here. And how our own lives are. Currently, we are living better than anyone within the dragonic clan except those people with high status. Take it from someone who was looked down upon. Thrown to the side without a speck of familial love. Until I met Blake and understood what love truly was, I would have lived under the shadow of everyone. I would have never come to understand what it was like to have family and friends. Now I even have a daughter. A cute little girl who calls me mama, who I adore with every inch of my being." Faana cut in as she leaned her head on Clance's shoulder.

"You may not recognize me now since I am no longer small. But I, Faana Harris, am proud to say that I am the wife of Blake Harris and sister to all his wives and concubines." Faana hooked her arm with Clance, who smiled and rubbed her head.

"I see.... It is true that only those who are favored are seen as someone worthy of giving praise and protection. We have long lost our ways...." Ancient Tamal was shocked to find out that the young woman next to Clance was Faana, the missing princess. He could feel that her power was truly strong. She was nothing like her old self at all.

"Now then, I am sure you do not have time to stay and chat with us, and we still have many things we need to do ourselves, so I will show you out." Clance was not being nice anymore as she stood up and was basically throwing Ancient Tamal out.

Ancient Tamal, though, had other thoughts. "Can.... Can You let me stay a few days to look around?"

"If you wish to do so, we can allow that, but you will need a permanent binding contract on you that will attach to your soul. It's nothing bad, just one that disallows you from harming or telling anyone about what you have seen here that are not residents of Destiny City. It is the same Contract that every citizen here has on them and allows a massive city like ours to stay crime free. If you are unwilling, then you will need to leave immediately and have all the things you have seen here wiped from your memory."
