"Assist the other races in finding livable environments and secure food sources? What is Versailles saying? Such a task is not only difficult but impossible!" Queen Nakee furrowed her brows in confusion.
She knew Versailles was not the rash type. Her every plan and action was carried out with thorough and meticulous planning. This was seen by the entire realm through the Viewing Platform when she had cleverly slaughtered the hordes of beasts participating in the Battle of Wars.
However, her unexpected words made the Snake Queen's unshakable faith falter for an instant. The matter of securing a livable environment wasn't an issue of one or two ice nights. It was an issue of millennium years.
It was an issue that originated from the break of dawn, the time of great legends, and the era of the immortal ancestors. So how could she accept the idea of her friend solving this millennium-old issue so easily?
It wasn't that her belief in her was weak, but that the promise she was making was too huge to take in.
"Hmph! Overestimates herself!" The Devil King only silently snorted, not having the face to openly criticize the serpentine after losing so miserably in her hands.
However, that didn't prevent him from scornfully looking at her, his gloomy eyes exuding disgust and disdain.
'She probably lost her mind from the sudden adoration of the beasts!'
This was what he thought when he coldly glanced at the iridescent floating figure.
"I am aware that every beast present here must find my words a joke. You must all be thinking 'which race would be stupid enough to waste time and resources on locating a good livable environment and food sources for an unrelated race' right?" She gently asked.
With a radiant smile spreading across her cherry lips, Versailles raised her head and her powerful voice boomed in the colosseum.
"That isn't your problem. It is mine. From today on, the only thing you all need to know is that, I, Versailles Skyler, Serpentine Queen and mate of the Werewolf King, promise to provide a livable environment and food sources to every race in the Nar realm!"
The firm, unshakable vow finally cracked a hole in the hearts of the races and garnered a reaction from them. With serious expressions and flickering eyes, they focused more intently on the serpentine's words.
"Giving every race a home is my promise and my promise is the new law!"
In response to her heaven-shaking and earth-shattering words, from every corner of the white colosseum, flames roared and mightily surged into the heaven, enveloping the dull red film in a shower of resplendent red-gold brilliance and majestic glory.
The earth trembled in sync, vibrating with excitement as if to welcome a new dawn in the history of the Nar realm.
The races, stimulated by her domineering words and the phenomenal reaction of heaven and earth, roared in excitement and stomped their foot. The ginormous walls trembled and white dust drifted in the air, fueling the roaring flames.
The six witches, Demon Queen, Devil King, Eagle King, Snake Queen, and Werewolf King watched the scene with complex eyes. Some felt jealous and envious at the adoring and love-filled gazes the beasts fixed on the serpentine, some looked forward to watching a good show when she failed to fulfill her promise, while many more were filled with fear and trepidation for their future in the Nar realm.
Ramose's heart pounded with pride and love as he looked at his glorious mate. Every time he saw her, his feelings for her reached new heights, ascended undiscovered territories. From simply wanting to keep her by his side, to the desire to protect and guard from every danger, it had now evolved into something unique and firm.
He now had the desire to unconditionally support her in her every endeavor and quest. He wanted to clear every obstacle in her way and help her accomplish her every wish and dream without obstructions.
Raising to his feet, he left his seat and floated to the stage beside her.
Versailles sensed Ramose's presence the instant he came to her side. Turning her head, her violet-gold eyes clashed with his dark ones, and her heart filled full from the deep emotions she saw in their depths.
"Ramose, why are you here?" She asked softly.
"My place is by your side. If not here, then where else should I be?" He asked back just as softly.
In perfect sync, the two smiled at the same time.
Ramose moved his gaze away from his mate's beautiful face and blankly stared at the crowd with a stoic expression. For two heartbeats he breathed in deeply and calmed his racing heart. This was an ordinary occurrence when he was around his mate. His heart was always in a race against time.
A moment later, when his emotions were under control and his head clear, Ramose's serious eyes focused on the anxious beasts that were looking at him with trepidation.
"I say, aren't you all being too stingy with your love? Just a while ago, you were roaring for my mate as if your old ancestor has appeared. Now that it's my turn, there isn't even a little cheer? What sort of treatment is this?" The joking manner in which he spoke froze the beasts in astonishment.
They were unable to wrap their head around at the scene of the frightening Werewolf King joking amiably with them. Such a scene wasn't only unheard of but was also unimaginable.
This was all thanks to the presence of the Serpentine Queen.
Admiration and barely concealed praise flowing from their eyes, they intensely gazed at the Serpentine Queen floating beside the Werewolf King.
Ramose was irked by their obvious fondness for Versailles.
With cold eyes, he asked in a dangerously low tone.
"Enough ogling at my mate. Are you tired of living?"
The beasts immediately lowered their heads or looked to the side, their instantaneous reaction filling him with satisfaction. Before he could raise his head in triumph, however, a sharp glare fell on his body, tightening his muscles in tension.
He sheepishly cleared his throat and addressed the beasts.
"Ahem! Beasts of the Nar realm, at this moment and time, I, Ramose Umair, Werewolf King and mate of the Serpentine Queen, vow to fully support the new rule of Serpentine Queen Versailles Skyler. To ensure her promise to you is fulfilled, I vow to unconditionally support her in her quest!"
It was as if thunder struck on a clear day, the beasts freezing with wide eyes and open mouths.
"Gasp! The Werewolf King just vowed to support the Serpentine Queen!"
"That's right! That's right! The Werewolf King vowed to support the Serpentine Queen in realizing the fulfillment of her promise to us!"
"This...does this mean that within a year, we will really have a place to peacefully settle down? Go to rest with full bellies?"
"That's exactly what it means! The Werewolf King himself has stepped forth to show his support for his mate. Do you still doubt the Serpentine Queen's promise?"
"I don't dare! I don't dare!"
The various races gasped in astonishment. They already knew how much the Werewolf King treasured his mate. But what they didn't expect was his boundless pampering and limitless support in her every decision.
"Werewolf King! Serpentine Queen!"
"Werewolf King! Serpentine Queen!"
"Werewolf King! Serpentine Queen!"
Another round of fervent cheers and deafening roars began.
This was no longer the ordinary affection between mates. This was a sentiment that ran far deeper than a mate bond and was far purer than a mere affection for life-companion. And this was clearly perceived by the races.
"I suddenly wish I was in the Serpentine Queen's place."
"So do I. Before, I only wanted to be the Werewolf King's mate because of the status and protection that came with the position. However now, I feel envious of the Serpentine Queen for getting such a supportive and loving mate."
"To be the Wolf King's mate for a day, I am willing to sacrifice even my immortal life."
Many female beasts spoke wistfully among themselves, their fervent eyes trained lustfully on the handsome face of the Werewolf King as they held their chest.
There were, however, many more females that found the other beasts' remarks ridiculous.
"Hah! You also need to see who the Serpentine Queen is. Beauty and power are at her fingertips. This is something that will automatically attract other male beasts to her. As such, aside from being supportive and loving, how else could the Werewolf King win the heart of such an outstanding mate?"
"Yes, both in looks and status, the Serpentine Queen is an unmatchable existence herself. How could the Werewolf King win the heart of such a breathtaking beauty if he doesn't devote his entire heart to her?"
"And this is exactly why they are mates. Both possess unsurpassable appearances and overwhelming power. Their meeting will no doubt change the direction of the wind in the Nar realm. No wonder the Supreme Elder was anxious at their union."
The six witches and the leaders of the four Supreme Clans clearly heard the murmurs and whispers of the spectating beasts, rising turbulent waves in their hearts.
