Chapter 36: Supreme Elder Luke's Stance

Luke glanced at the demon queen, understanding her intentions, before looking back at the flame-haired girl. She was quietly standing beside the werewolf who was still holding her tiny hand.

All this time, he stood up against her, trying to prevent her from entering the Underworld palace without knowing why.

But now that he knew everything, he did not need anyone to incite him because he was not going to let the werewolf take her, no matter what.

"We have already gone over this topic. I am doing what I must to keep my clan safe, even though you might think so otherwise. Yes, I want to keep you apart, because that is the way to keep the Bloodsucking clan safe." Luke nonchalantly said.

"You can choose serpentine. The Snake clan or the Werewolf clan?" He seriously added.

He expected her to argue back. With all that happened so far, he came to know just how stubborn she could be. However, the expected did not happen.

Versailles saw the determined expression of the vampire, knowing right away that he was not going to let her leave with the wolf.

She felt Queen Nakee's nervousness as she grasped her other hand tightly.

The races scrutinized their every moment, on alert for any sudden attacks.

And there was Ramose, who just silently stood supportively and protectively next to her as he held her hand.

But she did not need anyone's support or protection as she was strong enough to face any obstacles by herself.

"Supreme elder, you are telling me to choose between the Snake clan or the Werewolf clan, but you forget. The Nar realm does not have laws and rules, because anarchy is the way here. I will neither choose the Snake clan nor the Wolf clan. I choose myself."

"Huh? Choose herself? What does she mean by that?"

"You ask me, how am I supposed to know?"

"Choose herself? What does she mean?"

"Do you not understand? It obviously means that she will go with the werewolf."

"No, I think you might be wrong. After all, she is a serpentine, and serpentines belong to the Snake clan. So, choosing herself obviously means choosing the Snake clan."

"I agree with the iirifey. I think she is choosing the Snake clan as well."

"But she just loudly and clearly said that she will not choose the Snake clan nor the Werewolf clan!"

The surrounding murmurs of the crowd slowly raised in volume until it turned into full-out shouting and yelling, everyone feeling that their opinion was the right one.

Queen Nakee and Ramose hold on her hands tightened, but they did not say a word.

"What do you mean when you say you choose yourself?" Luke's eyes furrowed in confusion as he inquisitively looked straight at her.

'What is she planning now?'

He could not help wondering as he stared at her stoic face that was completely devoid of emotions.

"It means exactly what it sounds. I choose myself." Freeing her hands from the two painful grips, she stepped forward, standing face to face with Luke.

"Since anarchy is the way, then why are we wasting time speaking so much nonsense? The winner is king, the loser slave, that is the way." Her sharp gaze swept over the quiet crowd that was now fully focused on her attentively waiting to know the full meaning of her words.

"In this Battle of Wars, I challenge all the races living in the Nar realm to a battle to the death! I, Versailles Skyler, serpentine of the Nar realm, will face all the races in the realm alone on the Battle of Wars. In return, no race will get in my way and stop me from leaving with the wolf king." At the end of her speech, there was a confident and carefree smile on her pristine face.

"Challenge all the races to a battle to the death alone? How is that acceptable? The Battle of Wars is a custom of the Nar realm that has been established by our ancestors since the dawn of legends. It is used to rank the races, determining their social standing in the realm.

All these years, there has never once been any deviation in the way the battles were held. Facing all the races alone will not only be a slight deviation but also a great change. It will wipe out the ranking as one against all cannot be used to determine the individual strengths of each race. How could you even expect such a suggestion to be accepted?" Luke's cold voice rang throughout the stadium as he fiercely raged.

'How could she even make such a suggestion, facing against all the races on her own? Is she tired of living?'

He fiercely thought, as his cold eyes sharply fixed on her. He wished his sight could penetrate through her skull to find out what other crazy ideas were running loose in her head.

Versailles smiled, her smile, so sweet that all the spectating audience gasped in astonishment at the purity and simplicity conveyed from that simple lift of her lips.

"Awwe, it would, would it not?" She delicately cooed, the lift of her right brow and slight tilt of her chin capturing the races' focus.

"However, preventing a wolf from taking his mate home is also a deviation that has never occurred before. If that deviation is acceptable to you, why not this?"

She watched the vampire's eyes widen in shock and before he could say anything else, she focused her attention back on the crowd, declaring in finality.

"The supreme elder thinks that the wolf king taking me home will bring threat to the races living in the Nar realm. However, no race has the right to stop a mate from going home with her soulmate. Moreover, in the Nar realm, there is no such thing as a rule or custom that is impossible to break.

In fact, the first rule is survival of the fittest, while the second rule is; there are no rules. Since we live in anarchy, why not we do things the archaic way? We will battle to the death."

Ramose's face filled with anxiety as he heard his mate's words. Rushing towards, he stretched his hand to pull her behind him, when she raised her right hand coldly in front of his chest without even a glance.

From the aura radiating off her body, he knew what she was telling him.. She did not want him to approach her any further.
