Chapter 770 Nervous Queen

Somewhere in the Supernatural territory, a place where a magical blend of ancient trees, mutated wildflowers, and lush greenery filled the entire place. A woman is currently inside a grand room made of wood and beautiful marble can be seen sitting at the edge of a king-sized bed.

Almost like a painting, her beauty is grandeur, especially added to her graceful demeanor.

Looking at the big window on the side of the bed, shooting at the streaming river that glitters in the coldness of the night, the corner of her mouth raised up into a sweet smile, showing her happy mood at this current time.

"I can't believe the Orcs have also joined, this is going well, too well in fact"

Mumbling to herself with her melodic voice, the woman that is supposed to be an Elf, a noble Elf judging from her pointy ears shed a small tear of happiness. But her alone moment was soon disturbed by a couple of knocks coming from the door.

"My Queen, forgive me for disturbing you this late. We should depart as soon as possible"

Glancing to the side, the woman that has been satiating herself with the wellness of the situation quickly wipes her tears away hearing the muffled voice from the other side. "I'll be there, wait for me in the throne room"

After saying that, she can hear the person on the other side walking away.

When the footsteps were too far away to be heard, Queen Shanaela then sighed to herself before she went over to a big table mirror to see her reflection. In front of the mirror, her eyes blurred as her mind went back to the time when she was still in the Vampire Stronghold.

It was when she was spared, and given time to save other Supernatural races from Rex.

Remembering that moment, her body shivers in coldness, the imminent power that Rex excludes that night was so overwhelming that she still can vividly feel it brushing against her body.

Such power came out of nowhere, an entity that's definitely blessed by the Moon Gods.

Upon the memory infiltrating her mind, her heartbeat started to race and her breath started to become short and rapid. "Keep yourself together, nothing will go wrong during our first meeting after that night" She said subtly.

Not too long ago, a messenger from the Dark Elf Kingdom came to deliver a message.

Queen Shanaela and the other trusted Elves were surprised when they heard the message, the Dark Elf convey that King Jorik has asked her to come to his Kingdom, and it's involving the Silverstar Pack.

Of course, she was taken aback. It's a message that came out of nowhere, and it's worrying.

But as it seems to be an important matter, judging from the way the Dark Elf delivers the message, Queen Shanaela has no choice and would need to go there. Due to the distance, they need to depart early, and it seems it's going to be this night.

While looking at herself in the mirror, she clapped both of her cheeks with her hands.

Jolting her mind awake, she nodded her head before she takes her royal gold and green see-through cloak and wears it over her body. Knowing that it's time, she walks outside of her bed chamber and heads over to the throne room.

It didn't take long for her to reach the throne room as it was close to her bed chamber.

Unlike most of the throne rooms belonging to the Kings and Queens of other Supernatural races, the Elf's throne room is more nature-oriented with two beautiful pools of crystal clear water on either side of the path leading to the throne.

Mutated plants and flowers decorated the inside, giving fresh air to the room.

At either side of the start of the path leading to the throne was two mutated tiger-like creature, they were gorgeous, unlike most mutated animals that has taken the menacing route. A deep blue color to their smooth furs, bright yellow eyes shining like stars, and their tails were that of a peacock instead of regular tiger tails.

Looking at Queen Shanaela approaching, the two mutated tigers murmur softly.

Queen Shanaela gave the two mutated tigers a tap on their temples before her eyes shifted to a single Elf clad in white armor and a blue cape standing near the stairs leading to the throne, he was one of the Counsellors of the Elf Kingdom, Hastios.

Walking past Hastios, Queen Shanaela ascends the stairs and sits on the throne.

There were two thrones at the amphitheater, and they were shaped like blooming flowers but made of enhanced wood instead. Roots can be seen coming out of the two thrones, connecting them to the Great Tree which gives a greenish hue to the thrones.

Sitting on the left throne, Hastios then kneels on one knee in respect.

"Are the convoy ready to depart for the Dark Elf Kingdom?" Queen Shanaela finally said.

Hastios nodded his head firmly, he has already prepared the necessary preparation for their departure. "Yes, I believe we should depart right now. As it's involving the Silverstar Pack, there's a high chance we will be meeting the Alpha there too. It's best to not be late, fearing that the Alpha might misunderstand us for not appreciating his kindness"

"In our absence, Silvyr will take care of the kingdom and the Prince" he added concisely.

Upon hearing this, Queen Shanaela tighten her grip on the handles of the throne.

Even though she already expects that they would be meeting with the Alpha, with Rex again, she can't help but feel nervous at the sheer mention of it. But then, her expression turns troubled, "Hastios, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, I'm at your disposal" Hastios quickly answered eagerly.

Queen Shanaela bit her lower lip showing her troubled mind before she eventually asked, "Do you really think it's right to bring her with us? It's clear to me that the Alpha has a big animosity for her. I fear that bringing her there would cause more trouble for us"

"Are you talking about that Vampire?" Hastios asked for clarification.

In return, Queen Shanaela nodded her head firmly. And this also puts a frown on Hastios' face, "Maybe her presence will indeed turn the situation for the worst, but we can't deny her role in helping us hide the group from the high-rank Supernaturals. In addition, the Dark Elves seem to have already made contact with the Silverstar Pack. Who knows? Maybe the Alpha has experienced a change of mind and will tolerate her past"

"We must be transparent, and I believe bringing her is the best choice" he added.

Just as they were talking about this matter, the guard in front of the throne room's entrance opened the entrance before bowing in apology as a womanly figure, thick with the scent of blood walked inside leisurely.

At the sight of this woman, the two mutated tigers growled as their bodies grew in size.

Unlike earlier when they were emitting a peaceful and relaxed aura, now they instantly went into aggression mode just from reacting to the woman's bloody aura that tainted the air with nothing but the scent of iron.

Gazing at this sight, Queen Shanaela waved her hand to calm the two mutated tigers.

Looking at the two mutated tigers that are making way for her, the woman's scarlet eyes glowed slightly, and her mouth quirked into an excited smile before she ignores the mutated tigers and walks over to Hastios and Queen Shanaela.

Reaching the base of the throne, the woman looks up with clear excitement.

"Aunt Shanaela, are we leaving now?" the woman asked.

At the sight of the excited eyes and smile that the woman is wearing right now, Queen Shanaela can only sigh helplessly, "Yes, we're going to depart in a bit. But Calidora, can you keep the promise you made to me?"

"Of course, leave it to me. I won't instigate anything" Calidora replied with a cheeky smile.

But even though her mouth was saying that her expression shows another thing. Queen Shanaela can tell that she definitely won't behave herself, she was helpless at this troublemaker that she can't quite ignore thanks to her contribution to the cause.

Shifting her eyes back to Hastios, she then commanded, "Go, we'll depart in half an hour"

"Yes, my Queen" Hastios replied before he turns around and walks out of the throne room, not forgetting to shoot a look at Caldiora that doesn't seem to have anything in mind except the fact that they were going.

With that, Queen Shanaela hides her face with her hand in thought.

Upon looking at this, Calidora lets out a sweet chuckle before she said, "Aunt Shanaela, there's no need for you to worry too much. Even if I did something, I'll make sure he can't do anything to hurt you. You can trust me!"

"Okay, I'll trust you" Queen Shanaela paused before she replied with a forced smile.

Meanwhile, on another side of the Supernatural territory.

At a particular place that is covered with tall jutting mountains for as far as the eyes can see, standing tall like a fortress of stone and earth, there seems to be a gathering of hundreds of Supernatural led by two distinctive powerful entities.

One seems to be a Vampire, while the other seems to be a big Werewolf.

Each of them is standing watch at the hundreds of Supernaturals that crowded the entire valley in between two tall mountains with steep cliffs of white granite and white quartz that seemed to be mining something inside the earth's crust.

Despite the heavy rain pouring down, and also the frequent lightning, they kept on going.

Some of the digging Supernaturals were struck by a couple of lightning that were spat from the sky, the terrain for some reason causes frequent lightning to descend down, and yet those who were struck kept on going.

It was clear that they were hurt by the natural occurrence, but they keep on persevering.

Almost as if their lives depended on this, they kept digging without minding the lighting strikes raining down on them. On the side, numerous wagons can be seen strayed, filled with blue blitzing crystals.

From a glance, these blue blitzing crystals are certainly lightning stones.

"Seems like we're blessed by the Origin, the small Eye of Elemental that we found greatly help us in gathering enough before the Storm Moon. At this pace, we could go through with the plan to wake Prince Ingolf" the Werewolf, King Baralt said with a satisfied smile.

Upon hearing this, the Vampire, King Solomon nodded his head firmly.

But he still sighs while his arms are crossed in front of him, "Yes, but it's a shame that I need to use my leverage on the Djinn to get those lightning stones." King Solomon said with a sense of loss in his voice.

King Baralt laughed when he heard this, not taking King Solomon seriously at all.

"Well, you did ask help for us for your Kingdom's slave mark situation. It's a fair trade, don't be too petty about it" King Baralt said with a smile, he know that he had made great use of the exchange.

Despite not being considered a high-rank Supernatural, Djinn is quite rare.

Not only were they really scarce in this current era, but their power also varies depending on many factors. In some instances, these Djinns can even be more powerful than the high-rank Supernatural races.

So it's natural for King Solomon to feel a loss in this deal, having to use his leverage like this.

Just then, the banter fades away before the two turn serious once again while watching their subordinates do the work for them. Soon, King Solomon voiced out his mind, "I hear news about the Succubus, but don't you think it's rather odd that we didn't hear anything from King Saruth and King Lax'rad ever since the Executor appeared?"

"Yes, I think they are looking down on us since we got beaten by that bastard"

"Although I also thought about that, knowing how arrogant King Saruth can be, I can't help but think that there's more to this. I trusted my guts, and I don't think they are scheming against us" King Solomon added, rubbing his chin with a frown.

King Baralt glanced at him in confusion, "So if it's not that, why do you think they're silent?"

"Maybe there's another threat aside from the Executor and that Human-Werewolf? If they are focusing on the Executor, then they should communicate with us. But since they are not, I can't help but think that they are letting us take care of the Executor while they take care of something else..." King Solomon answered, his voice filled with doubt.

But for once, King Baralt can follow what he was thinking.

"Now that you mention it, I also feel odd these days. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I sense another strong presence lately..."
