Chapter 1152 Cap 1150: Hard To Deny Facts



After the meeting ended, everyone left, leaving only me, my sister, my group, and the two responsible for this meeting. 

I had to wait for my Familiars to finish collecting the parts of the monsters, that carapace, bones, antennae and other things are useful, not to mention the blood that I still haven't drunk even close to half, Orion must surely be responsible for the collection of blood and you'll bring it to me when you're done. 

Astrid and Miriam had stayed behind, but that's because they weren't finished with their purpose here, I've agreed in advance with the Alliance, but nothing official has been signed other than a verbal agreement and they know it. 

I would like to open my Dungeon now, but that wasn't possible since it was open in our temporary residence in Border Town, so I looked at Nicole who had an open metal cube on top of the conference table. 

"Nicole, how many Golems are around watching?" (I) 

"29, but I have control of 7, there's also the one I'm working on, if there's any other one beyond my ability to notice, I'd be grateful to bring it to me to analyze." (Nicole) 

"Are these Golems of Orsel? Do you have permission?" (I) 

"I already talked to him about it, as long as I return them all in one piece by tomorrow he doesn't mind me doing that, but in return, he wanted the recordings of his fight." (Nicole) 

"Then no problem." (I) 

The recordings don't matter, Orsel might not be strong enough on his own, but everyone else in that meeting earlier could see me struggling, I didn't do anything I needed to hide this time. 

"Sister, could you create a more comfortable place for us to talk?" (I) 

"Are you sure? It's going to be a lot of pressure, especially on you." (Elizabeth) 

"No problem, this isn't the first time, plus I don't want others digging what we're going to talk about." (I) 

"..." (Astrid) 

"All good." (Elizabeth) 

"< Territory: Ruler >" (Elizabeth) 

"< Eternal Empire of Blood >" (Elizabeth) 

An extremely imperious and tyrannical Aura spreads around us with my sister as usual, which wasn't a problem until the moment her Authority filled all of her Aura taking the space around us to herself. 

I felt my own Authority stir in denial trying to get out of my body to face this Authority of my sister, the more I tried to contain my Authority the more it got out of control, but this was something I could do even with difficulty because of my training. 

The surroundings started to change with the space around us raining blood as if washing away the reality around us to reveal a castle in various shades of red, my sister no longer wearing her previous clothes now she was wearing an Armor with a black coat over it and a neon red crystal crown floating above her head. 

Elizabeth's presence was in every corner, a presence that weighs on top of me as if ordering me to my knees, her own posture becoming straighter and more stable. 

"Here no one will see or hear anything that happens, nor can it be invaded without me noticing." (Elizabeth) 

"What is that!?" (Astrid) 

"Teleportation magic!? Where did they bring us!?" (Miriam) 

The two who found themselves in a strange place act in different ways, Astrid questions while ready to act if necessary, meanwhile Miriam demonstrates her aggression already getting into an attack position, her arms transformed into a cannon and a sword of light ready to attack at any moment time. 

"Wait, Miriam!!" (Astrid) 

? ? ? ? ? ?.

"..." (Miriam) 

Astrid was quick to stop her mate before Elizabeth had the chance, she doesn't usually take anyone who points their guns at her lightly. 

"Don't worry, this is a technique few individuals have the requirements to use, we didn't move from where we were, it was the surroundings that changed." (I) 

"..." (Astrid) 

Astrid, who still has one hand on her companion's shoulder, looks at me wordlessly before turning her eyes back to my sister as a round table much smaller than the one at the meeting appears between us with blood rising from the floor to crystallize into the shape of table. 

"Let's sit down." (Elizabeth) 

Elizabeth says that already sitting in a chair that was the smaller version of a throne, I sit in a more normal chair as well as the other two. 

"Allow me to take this meeting?" (I) 

"Be at ease, you are the two parties who must reach an agreement, I will restrict myself to intruding only if necessary." (Elizabeth) 

"Thanks." (I) 

"Let's be objective, everyone here knows what you want if I'm not mistaken it's two three things." (I) 

1. A way to save your people from the incompatibility with magical energies that harms their bodies over time.

2. A place to settle down more permanently.

3. Permission to have its own government or the guarantee of having a voice in any government where it is established if necessary. 

Elizabeth's hour-long discussions with Astrid were mostly about these things with the addition of the last part when my sister demonstrated the naivety of the previous two. 

"Those are your terms, correct?" (I) 

"They're all my people need and I can't give up any of them." (Astrid) 

"..." (I) 

Sigh  I think you should take a look at

I look at my sister smiling, she knows that any connection in our world that Astrid takes her people will not be peaceful, they have Magic Engineering techniques different from what this world knows, Nicole had already realized that and told me before we even reached the Dragon Castle. 

Allocating them in a place is not something as simple as finding an empty land and telling them to live there, other countries and organizations will create problems, not to mention that their enemies will find out about their new place since it will be something negotiated with other people, the information will end up rushing out one way or another. 

I also don't think that finding another world solves the problem, it would just keep the same situation in a different place, at least that's what I suppose without knowing any other world than the one where I've lived until now. 

"You know I'm going to have to expand a lot, right?" (I) 

"You should have done that, Nix said he already has tons of points accumulated." (Elizabeth) 

"We didn't have the need until now." (I) 

"(I really didn't want to increase the space and end up calling more people, I know Elizabeth has been playing her cards behind my back, but I don't want to be a King or Ruler.)" (I) 

"(How long are you going to keep denying the obvious little brother?)" (Elizabeth) 

"Don't get into my thoughts!" (I) 

"(Calm down, I just want to make it clear that you can't keep denying the obvious, you are already a King, a very carefree one, but with good potential.)" (Elizabeth) 

"(Astrid's people have very useful techniques and knowledge, bringing them as immigrants to your nation will only bring benefits since there is no way to go against you later.)" (Elizabeth) 

"(Why do you want to make me a ruler so badly?)" (I) 

"(You're already a ruler you idiot, your mates know it, your wives know it, your Familiars know it and your populace know it, there's no point in continuing to deny the obvious just to let someone else do most of the work, don't deny it the facts.)" (Elizabeth) 

"..." (I) 

Sigh 

I look away from my sister, she's not wrong, even though I blame Nira and the others, I can't deny that everyone calls me King and that everyone follows my orders. 

"Astrid, we can test with you two if I can definitely solve your people's physical problems, but before that, there are certain things that need to be talked about." (I) 

"Ask anything you want." (Astrid) 

"It's not just asking, that's because I can even arrange a safe place for all your people to live, but that place belongs to me, living there means that they are my people and they must be loyal to me as well as those around me, What do you have to say about this?" (I) 

"I was ready for something like that, as long as my people have a say in their government, I don't care about the rest." (Astrid) 

"But that still doesn't mean I accept you." (I) 

"Nicole, a holographic presentation about our city's races, please." (I) 

"< Interface N activating Phase 2 >" (Nicole) 

Nicole's Aura spreads a little forward forming 3D holographic models of the Races within the Dungeon, Nicole's Aura seems to have difficulty spreading until Elizabeth does something to make the process easier. 

"One thing that is not up for discussion is prejudice, if you or any of your people have prejudice you are out, I will not help the individual under any circumstances." (I) 

"..." (Astrid) 

"Do you mean that if you find someone who cannot live with these races, they will stop helping our people?" (Miriam) 

"No, what I am saying is that they will be judged separately as individuals without exception, those who do not pass will be left out, will not live on my land, and will not receive any help from me." (I) 

"That's a drastic way of thinking, our people are big and where we come from there were no other races, I can't promise that there won't be prejudice in any of them." (Astrid) 

"You're talking about leaving people to fend for themselves because of this? They are someone's children and parents, that will only breed resentment." (Miriam) 

"I never spoke of abandoning anyone to their fate, I said that I will not help in any way, but you can always negotiate with the people of Border Town to accept them there, I am within my rights to use my power and allow them to enter my lands of those who think it's best, don't be fooled into thinking I'm obligated to something." (I) 

"..." (Astrid) 

"Astrid..." (Miriam) 

"I know... I need time to think..." (Astrid) 

It may sound cruel what I'm saying, but it hurts how I've treated everyone so far to let live in the Dungeon, I can't use two different measures of judgment just because their situation is supposedly bad, everyone's life in the Dungeon has been going great without people causing problems because of prejudice. 

I will have the Moon Fairies and Spirits handle these interviews, along with people from the most exotic races to make sure their reactions, and no lies will get through. 

"I may have a solution to this problem, would you like to hear me out?" (Elizabeth) 

"..." (I) 

"(Caitlyn can use some level of mental conditioning using her dreams to get used to other races, this will make them more receptive and do away with any kind of prejudice that isn't too deep in their minds.)" (Elizabeth) 

"(Do as you see fit, but be sure to explain it to her, this is a decision that must be made as a leader.)" (I) 

"(I know, let me take care of the rest, it looks like your Familiars are coming back.)" (Elizabeth) 

"I'll leave you guys talking..." (I) 

I stand up and the space opens up letting me out of my sister's Territory, I can't even see it from the outside, it looks like some kind of Separate Space, after being impressed I walk back to where my Familiars were gathering.
