2 more hours of waiting ter and we are done cooking. Our guests are quite eager to try out our dishes and happy to see that.
We served them right away.
“I must say, this is one unusual meeting. I was thinking that the demon lords would be fiercer than this. But now I know why Admaris has taken a liking to you bunch”- Ishtar started to eat from her bowl. I had given her ramen to try out.
“Didn’t you 2 try to kill King Admaris and Admaris, why are you so forgiving with these 2?”- Camil pointed with his spoon at us, swirling the spoon back and forth.
“Well, as the part that suffered there, I must say that it was a big misunderstanding that could have had dire consequences. But fear not, what kind of weak man would I be if I couldn’t let a thing like this go? Holding on to resentment like this will only cause issues. Unlike you Camil, I am not as self-centered or prideful. Those things kill you faster than any weapon will do”- King Admaris gave Camil 1 stern look and then continued to eat his portion of food.
“Whatever you say, old man. Can’t say that I agree”- Camil looked at his bowl of food and frowned.
“Camil, I recommend you eat it. It’s not good to frown when someone else offers you food. Honestly, you behave like a kid”- Ishtar pced her hand on the back of Camil’s neck.
“Fine”
“The food tastes great. I didn’t know demon lords are such good chefs”
“Well, they are.”
“We are the ones that trained them”- A familiar voice echoed in the room, familiar to us. The voices of Akira and Oka.
“Settle down, these 2 are friends”-Hana rose from her seat and looked at Akira and Oka.
“Did you 2 do what I told you to do?”- I rose from my seat as well, and I could see Princess Alma there with them.
“Yes, we hid and protected Princess Alma as you commanded us to do.”- Akira knelled in front of Hana
“Hana, why didn’t you tell me about this?”- Why would she hide Princess Alma?
“I decided to hide Princess Alma, there were attempts to assassinate her coming from other factions. The situation in Wieka was too dangerous to leave her out in the open. I decided not to tell you because I trusted Akira and Oka enough to protect her. Whatever I told about them was a cover-up for this. And if you saw Princess Alma, well that was just a golem I created to look like her. It was hard to do but I managed to pull it off”- I don’t remember anything about that, but, whatever. I don’t care as long as she is safe.
“Well, this is interesting. Princess Alma is here and we want to discuss if we should recognize Miss Fumiko and Miss Ayame as queens of the Weika kingdom, now why should we do that if the current successor is here?”- Ishtar moved her hand pointing toward Alma.
“Well, I revoke my position to the throne. I will let Miss Fumiko and Miss Ayame as the new rulers of Wieka.”- Well, that was unexpected.
“Ok, It’s settled then. I recognize Ayame and Fumiko as the queens of Wieka Kingdom”- Ishtar searched through some sort of screen, it looks like a video game inventory for something. She tapped on a part of that screen and something like a paper materialized. I guess that thing is simir to my spatial storage.
“Well, looks like we don’t have a choice but to accept as well”- The other rulers also took a piece of paper out of their pockets.
!All of them are making a written statement that they recognize Ayame and Fumiko as the new Queens of the Wieka Kingdom. It’s customary among rules when they recognize new rulers that aren’t part of the lineage of the previous rulers!
“I got to ask one thing. Why did you invite all of us here? You could recognize Miss Ayame and Miss Fumiko just the 2 of you. We wouldn’t be able to argue against it.”- Hesta rose from her chair and walked up to where we were sitting. She looked at us, her eyes were weary as if something bad was going on.“Well, we wanted to establish diplomatic retions with all of you first. We want peace to fall upon this world, we don’t want any more conflicts. We want peace in this world. No more summoning otherworlders for wars, no more wars between nations”- Hana spoke in an unusually low tone of voice.
“That’s a noble reason, but I doubt you will be able to achieve that. You will need to rule with an iron fist and take control of the many countries' politics. It’s not that the 2 of you aren’t capable, it’s that most rulers are greedy and follow their interests.”- Hesta went back to her seat. The way she worded that put us in a good light. But I get what she says, I know that everyone has a little bit of greed in them, but in general people in high positions of power usually have the most, but now we are in the same position, will we become the same? What will we do? I don’t know the answer, here goes hoping that we don’t end up like the other rulers that they are talking about.
!I can regute and control both of you during a diplomatic discussion in a way that eliminates all greed. I can temporarily eliminate a few emotions that I choose from myself so it will be easy to control the 2 of you!
“Alright, that had been settled then”
“I also trust in the demon lords to uphold what they had said, but what shall we do about the other rulers that aren’t present here?”- Ishtar spoke in a hushed tone. Why are they speaking like this?
“Well, I agree to. Let’s get this over with”- Camil yawned and then put his head on the table starting to sleep.
We spent a few more hours discussing some trivial things, for the most part, they wanted to know our story. Why we were here and why did we become demon lords? We agreed to tell them our full story from beginning to end, at the end of the story they understood our situation better than when they walked in.
They left shortly after.
