Chapter 468 The Domineering Noa Part 1

--AN) ended up falling asleep :P 3 more chapters are coming in a while.--

The gate to the city was heavily guarded. Noa knew right away that the elven clan had gone into wartime mode. They had spies watching over Destiny City, after all. So she was sure they already knew about the reglios.

"Halt!" A guard yelled out as he stepped forth, blocking Noa's path. "Who are you!?"

"Noa Harris. Former Princess of the elven clan. Now a drakani." Noa answered proudly. She did not get to introduce herself much, so this made her feel good.

"No…. Drakani…." The guard's expression turned sour as he yelled out: 'Arrest these two! They are trying to impersona…."

*Boom!*

"Dogs of Teleth, Let me tell you right here and now that you are not going to do anything but open the gates, or we will just force them open. Do you really think you can defeat us?" Noa was angry. She had just returned and was already running into the people who her brother had paid off.

The guard turned and looked at that gate that now had a huge gaping hole in it and wondered if this woman realized she had already forced the gate open! "Just go!" The guard did not want to risk his life. The crown prince was not worth it losing his life over.

Noa snorted, and the two of them leisurely walked through the huge hole that was formed in the door and walked towards the palace off in the distance. The city guards on the other side all looked at the two people, unsure of what to do. They could see the guards on the other side not doing anything, so they, too, did not stop the two girls.

Noa walked through the streets with Clance. The passerby were all staring at them. Or more like staring at Noa. It was as if they were trying to confirm something. It was not until one elder lady elf yelled out that everyone's suspicions were confirmed. "Princess Noa is back! We can finally live proper lives again!"

"Princess Noa!" The crowd all shouted. Many of the went forward to greet her.

Noa smiled and greeted them back. "Can someone tell me how things have been since I left the clan?"

"It has been horrible! The taxes are high. The amount of food production is low due to the king taking it for himself. Many of us have starved to death. But what makes things worse is that we are forced to keep up appearances in this part of the city. If you go further east or west, you will find the houses there are falling apart! Only the nobles are making any money!" A middle aged woman cried out. She had tears building up in her eyes as if saying all this released all the stress she had built up over the past few years.

"I wish I could say things will be easier, but right now, times are not good. But if you are lucky, you will soon all be able to move to a place where you will never be treated in such a way." Noa wanted to give these people some hope because no matter what, she planned to evacuate all these people to Destiny City. She did not say for certain it would happen, but she already planned to, even if her father refused.

After pacifying the crowd, Noa and Clance made their way to the palace off in the distance. The gate guards there looked troubled when Noa suddenly showed up with a dragonic looking woman in tow. They did not know if they should let her enter or not, but after some kindly placed explosions, the guards all made way.

In the throne room, the elven king was going over the daily events from the previous day while Teleth sat at the side, seemingly bored. He planned to get rid of this farce once he became king. He did not understand that if you were the ruler, why did you need to have a bunch of fools telling you what you could and could not do? As king, your word was law. He could make up all the laws he wanted, and no one could say anything different.

"Next up on the agenda…." The King pulled up another report and was about to continue when the throne room doors swung open and slammed into the walls. The king was about to yell out in anger when he saw the person standing there looking at him with a gaze that was asking: What the hell are you doing?

"Father…." Noa walked in. She made sure to keep her head up high as she walked over to stand in front of her father. She would not show weakness. She also did not even look in Teleth's direction. "I am here today as an envoy of Destiny City, but it seems the guards do not work for the king any longer."

"What do you mean?" The king's eyes narrowed as he turned his gaze towards Teleth.

"I wonder. What do I mean by this?" Noa gave a faint smirk as she finally looked at Teleth but did not keep her gaze on him for more than a second before returning it to the king. "Anyway, I am not here for your inner struggles. I am here today as an envoy. I am here to tell you the reglios are a bigger threat than we could have ever imagined. They will soon attack every settlement and clan they can in order to collect the souls of the dead. And by doing so, they will unleash something that you nor I have ever seen. And…. The biggest issue is that it will be much worse than the dragonic. As you are probably already aware, the dragonic clan has fallen and has taken refuge in Destiny City. Two clans that were once enemies have now teamed up to face the threat that could destroy us all. Let me ask you, Father, are you going to be stubborn and not heed my words? Because if you are, then I will destroy this palace and save the elven people."
