Chapter 446 Grace’s Decision Part 2

"By your command, Your Holiness!" The guard bowed his head and turned while ordering his men to leave the room.

Soon it was only Faana, Grace, Tobie, and Rin in the room. When Grace saw how thin Tobie was, her brow furrowed. "Do you not feed your prisoners?"

"Huh? Let me tell you now the slaves we saved are all well fed and clothed. Have new homes for them to live in and can live normal lives. They are not prisoners. Your little kitty here did not want to eat and was basically starving herself because she wanted to return to your side. We even have come out of our way to make sure she got here safely and will not leave until we are sure she will not be mistreated in any way." Faana's eyes narrowed at Grace as she said this.

"I see... I am sorry." Grace lowered her head. She knew when she was in the wrong. "So then in order for Tobie to return to my side what do I need to do?"

"You need to sign a magic contract that will forbid you from harming Tobie in any way. That she will be fed the same food you eat and given the same treatment as you. We do not wish for people to see her as a slave because she is not. She is, from what I understand, your lover, is she not? I mean, I can see you looked upon her fondly. And I know this little kitty loves you as well." Faana replied with a small smile. "If you are willing, she can return to your side, and we will not have anything to do with each other again. But if you do not agree, we will take her back to Destiny City whether she wants to or not and wipe her memories of you so she can live a slave free life where she can become who she wishes to be."

Grace took a deep breath as she bit her lip. She was basically being told she had to see a demi human as an equal. While this angered her, she still could not hide her feelings for the cat girl. After being lost in thought for a few moments, she raised her head and looked into Tobie's eyes, who were pleading with her to take her back. Those eyes show not hate towards her but love. It was then that Grace's eyes softened. "Then so be it. I will take the magic contract. As long As Tobie is allowed to be by my side, I will make an exception for her and her only."

"Then so be it." Faana let out a sigh of relief as she stepped forward, disappearing then reappearing in front of Grace in an instant. Grace had no time to ask what was going on when a magic circle appeared in front of her and shot into her chest. "As you have agreed, any mistreatment by you or anyone else in this city towards Tobie will result in you feeling pain worse than death. Maybe it will wake you up and realize that humans and demi humans are equal."

Grace bit her lip as she glared at Faana but did not dare say anything. She could only watch as Faana walked over to Rin before saying a few words to Tobie and leaving the room without saying goodbye.

"Master!" Tobie had tears in her eyes as she ran forward and knelt before Grace. "Master I…"

Seeing the teary eyes of the cat girl, Grace's anger dissipated as she stood up and knelt down in front of Tobie. She pulled the cat girl into a hug and said: "Tobie welcome home. You no longer need to call me master. You can call me by my name no matter who is around. You can just call my name. From now you are of the same status as me. I will treat you with the utmost care from now on, okay? I will make sure no one dares to look down on you as well. Come, we will now announce that you are my wife."

"Huh!?" Tobie's eyes widened as she was helped up by Grace. She did not think she would have all this happen just like this upon her return. She wanted to start bawling her eyes out! But she held it in as she smiled, brought and hugged Grace.

After Tobie regained her composer, she was led to the center of the city after Grace sent out a signal for everyone together. Soon thousands of humans were now gathered in the city center. Standing up on the high stage where everyone could see, Grace held Tobie's hand and looked out over her citizens. "From this moment on, Tobie here will be Tobie Townson. She is now my wife and shall be treated as such. Any mistreatment of my wife will result in death! If anyone has a problem with me taking a demi human as a wife, then we can fight it out outside the city. I do not mind letting everyone know who makes the rules of this city. Do I make myself clear!?"

"As Her Holiness commands!" a loud wave of voices filled the sky. No one dared to go against Grace. She was the most powerful person in the city and was able to kill all of them if she saw the need to. This was why they followed her in the first place. Even if she was to marry a demi human they could not say anything against it at the risk of losing their heads.

"Good! From now on, if you wish to do the same, I will no longer ban it. But if you do, it must undergo a strict process. Wives and husbands that are demi humans will be registered and marked as human from that point on. Do I make myself clear!?" Another roar rose up from the streets. What Grace did not realize was she was slowly relaxing the strictness on demi humans to the point that soon her city would also become a safe haven. This was all brought about due to her own love for the cute cat girl named Tobie.

Flying through the sky, Rin hugged Faana's waist and said: "You are ruthless…."

"Heh… So what!? Maybe if the bitch gets zapped a few times, they will start to understand that every race can live side by side. There is no need to be a supremacist. After all, you, me, humans…. We are no different, whether it be bodily features, culture, or the color of our skin. We can all live peacefully."

"That is true! If the world was always like this, then soon down the road, all races would merge into a single race. A race that is mixed of all races. Wait, this sounds like the drakani…."
