Chapter 404 Juno's Trouble
"Stop this foolishness!" The beastkin ambassador, Gromar shouted as he tried to attack the girl who was keeping the dagger on his neck, but the more he struggled, the she used more force to penetrate the dagger into his neck.
"Listen all of you! I will tell you what we are facing here, and why all of these things are happening," Velian said and explained everything from demon lord to hero and the real past.
Everyone was flabbergasted to find that something important like that happened, without them even knowing but all of them were too quick to blame the main culprit of this situation as none other than Valerie and she was a human.
"So it's human's fault, why are we suffering because of your race, make things right and take responsibility," One of the ambassadors from another race shouted, while Velian looked at him with his eyes looking at him in a funny way.
"And what makes you think that I wouldn't? I have been holding back all of these things all alone and without your help, and I don't need any of your help," Velian pointed them the harsh reality of the situation.
"..."
Nobody in the room expected him to react like this including the Magician Lady who came from the Montero Kingdom.
"And I have no reason to help any of you in the first place,"
Nobody knew how to react as they knew he was right. They tried to play the victim card as soon as they heard humans started this situation, but Velian is the human that kept everything under control until now, and they were ashamed to know that they were side characters this entire time.
"But-" Velian paused for a minute.
"I accept this alliance of yours, under one condition,"
Everyone wondered what this condition is and they knew if he was putting only one condition it must be something insane.
"Nobody will support the beastkin kingdom from now on, not in supplies nor any other thing," It was a shocking proposal by Velian, that nobody expected to hear.
"What are you-" Gromar had a bad feeling about what Velian was up to.
"If you can do that, I will support all of you and share the information I have with me,"
The whole room went silent for a few minutes everyone thinking about his proposal.
"Can you say for sure that you can prevent deaths in our races with the information and help that you're going to give us?" The elven ambassador asked, with her elegant-looking hands automatically travelling to her dress.
"100%, they will help all of you,"
With Velian's confirmation things started to take an interesting turn as people started to raise their hands showing their approval.
"I agree," Elysia said first showing her overwhelming support.
She was really impressed with Velian's strong character and she had so many plans for him in future, but for now, she decided sticking with Velian will be the vice choice instead of these muscle-brained idiots.
"Me too!"
"We agree too!"
"Lord Velian, I like your confidence, maybe we could have some tea after this,"
One by one, most of them agreed with his terms and those who didn't do that were also on the verge of raising their hands, as they knew things are not looking good for them.
"Bastard!" Gromar shouted, but suddenly the door opened and Juno came out of that door with her eyes looking like they were on the verge of killing someone.
"Juno!" Velian seeing her state quickly held her without letting her go berserk.
"Veli! Let me go, I want to kill this man," She shouted, but Velian quickly held her by her shoulders and took her to his embrace.
"Not now! I'm with you, let's take it slow," He whispered and looked at Gromar, who was in a state of shock.
Everyone was confused why this human kingdom had beastkin girls, but they knew it is home to their business.
"We are happy to see all of you accepting our humble terms," Daphnia said as she knew this is the time to end this meeting for now.
"We have prepared some of the most luxurious food for our guests, so I ask all of you to follow me for a small break and rest,"
Everyone stood up from their position and followed her, as they knew things are taking a weird turn between Gromar and Velian.
"Looks like once this is over, beastkin will have a hard time," Elysia muttered and followed Daphnia, whom she was really interested in.
"Lady Daphnia, you look so young, I didn't expect Lord Veliam to be so young, how old is he?"
She asked to start a conversation and be friendly with their new friends.
"Is that so? I'm glad to hear that, well, he's a lot younger than he acts, but don't worry, he is someone you can place your trust upon, I'm talking as a woman, not as his mother," She said and laughed elegantly showing she wasn't a woman of lowborn.
"I don't doubt that, I can see it in his confidence," Elysia had never met someone that could talk so proudly in front of her, after all, elves are feared by humans as they had the ability to even destroy a kingdom.
Meanwhile, Juno was breathing heavily as she was embraced by Velian. Every time she looked at the face of Gromar, she only felt hatred and killing intent, but when she felt Velian's heat and smell, she quickly calmed down.
"Haha~ so you have enslaved our people too? I knew you were a tyrant, wait till I report this to our patriarch,"
He said those words, but he knew this is the worst situation for them.
Because in front of him was the tigerkin princess who could fight for the throne and he knew if she comes back, it will be not easy for them.
"Slave? This girl?" Velian looked at Juno and smiled.
"Are you my slave?" He asked almost like he was trying to humiliate Gromar and Juno smiled hearing his words.
"I'm a slave to your kindness and love, you already know that my lord," She answered as Velian released her from his embrace and kissed her on the lips.
