Chapter 41: 41 – Negotiating with a dragon

For now we took the 2 dragon girls back to the palace. I allowed them to take a bath and fill their bellies first. Mirin looked like a wild animal. No etiquette at all. She just stuffed food in her mouth like no tomorrow. Osa felt embarrassed but I reassured her that I don't mind.

 

And afterwards we finally sat down at the negotiations table. Osa told us what happened in detail. Dragonia was invaded by the Breeder faction. The war lasted for quite some time. Normally you would imagine that dragons, which are bigger in size than a breeder, would have no problems squashing them.

 

Then again, technology wise, they were extremely primitive. Due to superior numbers they were eventually driven to extinction. The Dragon Emperor refused to bow his head. And everyone supported him. Except for Osa.

 

"I lived many years. If there was the slightest chance for us to obtain victory, I would have not fled. I just couldn't let my daughter suffer that terrible fate."

 

In Fraxinus Online, the Breeder Queen was censored. The lore was simple. It was simply stated that all her breeding partners died. For most that's enough. I mean even kids who play the game just imagine that the queen is like a praying mantis. Simply killing the mate after the deed is done.

 

But here's where data mining comes into play. A group of players dug deep and uncovered that originally she simply had sex until her partner died. And she could breed with both a male and a female. Talk about a new level of death by snu-snu.

 

I understand why they fled. After all, who in their right mind would want to become a human incubator? Still this is an unpredictable enemy. She wasn't implemented in game as a boss or anything so I don't know how strong she is.

 

"You did the right thing by running away. So that means you crashed on my planet due to lack of fuel?"

 

"Partially yes. However, I don't want anyone else to suffer the fate of my planet. Miss Kizuna, if you truly are the ruler of this planet, you must evacuate it at once. Without a doubt the Breeder Queen will come here."

 

Yeah… evacuating the planet… I can’t do that. First, I don’t have that many ships for a global evacuation. Secondly, even if I did that, where the hell am I supposed to go? I got nowhere to run to. No. Running is not an option.

“Hmph. Do you really think I would flee from something like that? When an insect invades your home, you don’t run from it. You squash it.”

“Miss Kizuna, might I be blunt?”

“I will allow it.”

“You’re naive.”

Normally at those words, Alisha and the other girls would have instantly jumped on whoever says them. But I instructed them just to stay on standby and not to interfere. Even so I could see veins popping on their foreheads.

 

“Miss Kizuna, on our way here, I managed to paint a good picture of your land. You say you are the ruler and I do not doubt you. However you must be a new one. People supervising laws, allocating a bigger number to the agriculture sector than what is normally needed, unstable trade nodes, and while the army does seem capable… it looks like something newly formed with no real life battle experience.

Shall I also add that you are lacking major war based machines like tanks? While it is true that the anti-aerial cannons around here are formidable… that doesn’t mean the enemy can’t land on this planet. And once that happens, hell will literally unleash.

 

Don’t tell me you are naive enough to believe you can win an all out scale war in these conditions?”

Oof. It was like an arrow pierced my heart. But at the same time, what the hell? How can she be spot on just by taking a glance around here?

“You have a sharp eye, miss Osa. I never imagined that a mere concubine would know politics so well.”

“Ara ara. That’s so sweet, cutie. But you’re actually making me feel old a bit. I was Emperor Nilius’s first wife. I guess the main reason he decided to take new wives was because he wanted more children or probably wasn’t satisfied with my dusty vagina anymore.

 

What can I say? A woman has to keep herself occupied, right? I had to greet many diplomats, observe various places and handle all sorts of negotiations when Nilius wasn’t in the mood. That’s why I can see through your rule so well.”

The words old and woman never mix. She would probably punch me to the moon if I actually asked her age. But this is like manna from heaven for me. We’re honestly still trying to figure out how to run this planet. If I had someone like her on my side…

“Your description is very accurate. True. The state of the planet is as you described it.”

“Then you must understand that evacuation is…”

“I won’t do that.”

“Eeeh?”

“I am Kizuna Amun Ra. And this name can never know defeat. No matter if my opponent is an army or a God. I will crush them. Miss Osa, what you say is true. My army might be lacking compared to any other army. But it has something that others don’t.”

“And what might that be?”

“Me. Allow me to show you… a glimpse of my full strength.”

I stood up from my seat and clenched my fists. And then just like a very famous anime character that powers up by screaming… I shouted.

 

"Haaaa!!"

 

In the next moment a flux of Proton Energy overflowed from my body. It was so dense and it was going upwards just like a raging torrent. The ground itself started shaking and the air pressure became so thick that it basically was starting to push people down.

"Such power… what in the world…?" (Osa)

 

"Mom… I can hardly breathe." (Mirin)

 

Eventually I stopped since I didn't want to break my own palace. Osa and Mirin were gasping for air, while my girls in the back all took a knee and bowed down.

 

"Just what in the world are you? I've never seen anything like that before. Even Nilius can't come close to that."

 

"Miss Osa, what is your goal?"

 

"Eh?"

 

"I mean what's your goal? Running from one planet to another? That's not a life."

 

"Ahem. True enough. It's not life, but it means living. There is nothing else I can do."

 

"What if I were to defeat the Breeder Queen for you?"

 

"That is…"

 

"Miss Osa, if the Breeder Queen challenges us, then we will face her. If we manage to defeat her, what would that mean to you? Are you perhaps mad that you lost her husband? Would you feel relieved?"

 

"...

 

That's not the case. It's been years since I stopped caring about Nilius. My only love now is directed towards my daughter. I have no feelings of revenge due to him. But I strongly wish to avoid the fate that happened to us to fall on someone else. What guarantee can you provide that you will beat her as you say?"

 

There’s only one answer I can give to that.

“Absolutely none whatsoever. That’s why, how about we make a deal instead?”

“A deal? What kind of deal?”

“I’ll provide you with a ship and supplies and anything else you need. If during the fight you sense that our side is lost, you and your daughter are free to flee wherever you want. However, if we make the breeders run with their tails between their legs, I want both of you to become my subordinates.”

“Haa!? What an absurd request. We are proud dragons. Don’t think we would stoop so low to take orders from a kid and…” (Mirin)

Mirin didn’t get to finish her sentence. Her mother placed her hand on the daughter's shoulder and interrupted her retort.

“Don’t worry. I won’t treat you badly if that’s what you are afraid of. I just want you girls to dedicate your minds, hearts and bodies to me.”

“Ara ara. I can guess why you would make such a request. Very well, miss Kizuna. I wouldn’t mind calling this place my new home if by any chance you can perform a miracle. I will… no. We will accept that deal.”

“Mother!!”

“No buts, sweetie. There really isn’t any drawback for us. We are provided an escape route if things go wrong and it’s not like we have anywhere else we can go.”

A firm handshake seals the deal. Yosh! With that out of the way… it’s to prepare for war!
