Chapter 107: The Councils Response
The decisions of the Council would change my course in negotiations with the Succubi. I started to plan in my head, knowing that the succubi became the most important alliance for us moving forward. Their faction included three species: the Succubi, the Incubi, and the Vampires. I needed to bring myself closer with the vampires who had been around very little up to this point.
They were not absent. They were just towing the same line as the Succubi since they found it easier to talk to our nation through them. I thought it was a pretty clever solution for them, but I was about to start changing that shortly. I began to contemplate how to go about it since the representative came once a week while their Blood Wizard tower showed much more interest in my potions.
This had to change the Bunny-kin would need close relations with the group, and I put my sights on the Incubi while I was at it. They also let the Succubi deal with us more often, although I do know some of their men enjoy the company of our bunny-kin guards. Many practices were going on in this embassy I would love to crack down on but didn\'t have the political clout to enforce.
The meeting that would take place in the early afternoon would change everything. It should at least, with the council directly intervening, I would be able to pin the blame on them, saying I cannot back up farther. This was an essential component in the compromises I would make. I sighed as I cleaned myself off, lost in the thoughts of the upcoming issues.
Without realizing it, I found a hand cupping my breasts, making me moan slightly as the water fell on me. I turned to see Emily smiling. "Your worrying too much, Chelsea," Emily said and kissed my neck. "You will find a path, and You will take it and not regret it, Chelsea.
That\'s what you will do, and if you make mistakes, you can confidently say that you did the best you could for your family and nation." Emily finished with a smile.
I melted under her gaze and took her from kissing my neck to my lips. Our kiss deepened, and I felt myself harden, but I kept the interaction soft for the moment. I needed Emily\'s soft touches, and I enjoyed her companionship in the shower. Soon I had her pinned to the wall, letting my body speak for itself to her delight.
My lips met hers as I groped her breasts, and I started to get more into the interaction with Emily.
Emily reciprocated without thought, one hand groping my breasts while the other found Doorknocker. She started to lovingly stroke him, and I became rock hard under her workings. I moaned as Emily did so into her loving lips. Emily raised her leg and broke the kiss to whisper into my ear, "Fuck me slowly, Please," She requested.
I took her hands above her head, pinning them to the wall, and used my other hand to help her leg up before I inserted Doorknocker into her pregnant pussy. I couldn\'t be rough, and I kept myself calm in the lust as I slowly dove into her depths. Her moans as I kissed her breasts while slowly making love to her echoed in the bathroom.
I slowly took Emily just as she requested inside the shower, her cries continuing to echo as pleasure flooded my head with the slow sex we were having. The water continued to rain down on us as the slow lovemaking continued, and I was nearing my edge. Emily cried louder, "Take me, Faster!" She begged near the end, and I sped up with the change of pace from the slow fuck just minutes before.
I was careful not to knock on her door, and I moaned as she orgasmed on me. Finally, I retook her lips and released her. Our cries ended in each other\'s mouths, and the kisses continued. Momentarily the world around me didn\'t exist, and It was just Emily and I kissing in the shower.
The world turned merciless, and I heard Alexia speak, "I am terribly sorry to interrupt, But we have a meeting you\'re soon going to be late for." Alexia informed me and pulled out of Emily, and reality settled back in.
"I will be there now," I replied, and Emily smiled at me, saying nothing before I turned around, heading out of the bathroom towards the duties my position placed on me.
Alexia was standing outside the shower as I walked out, and I used mana for all the water to fall off me. A puddle formed beneath me, and I stepped out of it. Alexia gave me clothing in a light blue color in my usual style that I quickly put on, heading out of our room just as fast.
"You are meeting with Francis. He wants to talk about the trade deal and wouldn\'t take the delay that you asked of them to move back the talks." Alexia told me.
I sigh, "I am not making any more promises; I don\'t care how much they pressure me." I told Alexia just as we reached the door. I opened it, knowing I wasn\'t about to enjoy this meeting. "Francis!" I entered with a diplomatic smile, "How are the bruises I left you with?" I asked him, earning a smirk from him.
"Ah, Ambassador Chelsea, you cant call such scratches bruises." Francis countered quickly, knowing he won the fight. "You are a fast on, though, just not enough for these puppies!" He smirked as he flexed his biceps. "Now, Chelsea, tell me why you want to move our trade talks back." Francis changed the topic to the point.
"Now, Francis, both topics will go about the same amount of productivity. I have been instructed at this point to stall for time." I told him with a smile.
"Oh? The Bunny-kin are stalling?" Francis raised an eyebrow. "That is rare you are on the losing side of the deal-making it worth more for you guys than it would for us." He pointed out, and I smirked at that.
"Is that true?" I countered back to him. "This deal would boost both our economies. But that isn\'t the point, Francis. My point is that I learned that the deal as it currently is might not be sellable to the whole of our nation, making it an empty deal at this point. This statement, true or not, will complicate matters, wouldn\'t it, Francis..." I smiled, turning predatory.
Francis reeled at this, "Your backing out at this point!?" He exclaimed, surprised since this deal was my baby.
"Nope, I lied that I couldn\'t sell it, Francis," I smirked at getting a reaction from him and felt the battle intent from Francis.
"We can battle if you want to jerk me around like this, Chelsea," Francis stated.
"Fine, You want the truth?" I asked him before continuing anyways, "Something has come up, and that might change the Silvermoon towers Councils mind on the deal. Therefore all talks will be delayed until I get confirmation later today. That was why we tried to schedule you later, Francis. I am sure that my Cute Alexia even told you that. Instead, you forced your meeting with me forward."
"Then fight me; I want to see if you improved the months you have been here," Francis said, and I groaned, knowing this would happen. I had two choices, and Francis wouldn\'t back down now that the offer was out there.
"Can\'t today; how about this battle maniac. I will fight you when I have the chance. That chance isn\'t today. I have important things to be doing," I replied.
Francis\'s eyes narrowed, and he looked at me seriously before nodding, much to my surprise. "I\'ll see you tomorrow," Francis stood up to leave, "Again, I want a good fight. Ambassador, I will make sure your cute Alexia will schedule it." He finished seriously, and I was trapped for another battle as he left.
With his exit, I heard Alexia arguing with the devil and stormed in to talk to me. "Just schedule it, Alexia; he won\'t take no for an answer," I told Alexia.
"This will throw your schedule out of wack!" Alexia complained.
"Nothing, either of us, can do when the ruling house with the strongest representation demands a battle Alexia; others will understand or will. I need to head up for the meeting." I told her, sounding defeated at this point.
I sighed, leaving Alexia struggling to find how to reschedule. Yuri joined her as I headed upstairs to assist Alexia. I quickly arrived at the Crystal and waited for the call. I waited just under an hour when the enchantments started to glow, and I stood up. My father eventually came into view with three elders.
"Ambassador Chelsea, Your news has made thrown many plans into the bin if things are true." My father started, and I nodded, "This will only affect the war plans in a positive light, though, and it is good to hear." My father started with praises that I couldn\'t care less about.
It was an elder that spoke up next, "On these notes, we think you need assistance in the Demon lands. We are dispatching your sister Christina and your eldest brother Anthoney to the Demon lands. Christina has been in charge of spies in the past and can help you implement spies in the Demon lands.
Your Brother is an experienced Alchemist and can take over the experiments with the Succubi." The elder said with a smile. "In the Demon lands, you are the leader above all others. Your sister and elder brother shall report to you."
The relief I felt with being given command was palpable. "As for the negotiations with the Illusion tower, you seem to be doing well. If you recruit them to our cause, it will help immensely if everything goes well. As for the previous Ambassador Ralph, We no longer want him in the Demon lands. We wish to interrogate him to see what happened to the funds sent to him." That was tricky, I thought.
The Succubi might not like this, and I frowned at that command.
"Elder, Might I ask for a guarantee that Ambassador Ralph is to be punished no matter what? The Succubi are really pissed off at him for reasons and want him in their custody. I have calmed these tempers by placing him under house arrest. Sending him home might reignite these tensions." I replied to the commands.
"That is acceptable. You may tell them that his fate will be worse than if they took him into custody." The elder had a vicious grin, "Use that to calm them down, and you may even tell them that we will send them a crystal recording of some of his screams if they wish to hear them. You were moving on this trade deal, and we need this trade deal.
You also need to be able to sell it to the nation, Chelsea. You will continue as you wish on this. You know the most about it but do not compromise too much." I nodded towards the elder.
"Any other instructions?" I asked him.
"None, Move forward with haste, though. The Empire seems to notice our strange movement nearing the borders silently, Chelsea. War will be soon, and you will be brought back to join in." The Elder finished, and the crystal started to dissipate the image inside.
The image disappeared entirely, and I stood still. Only a few minutes had passed, and I stepped down the stairs. I was walking nowhere in particular. "FUCK!" I screamed. My fist lashed out at the wall, and I sent a mana message to Alexia, "Contact Francis. I need a fight now," I told her; my statement declared my anger.
The sending of my Sister and brother pissed me off. The potion would become his credit with it leaving my hands. The spy ring would become my sister\'s; the only bright spot was that I was the leader. It didn\'t matter that I discovered these things, and they sent someone to take over, and instead of sending me useful subordinates, they sent me competitors to the Silvermoon throne.
My anger was higher than ever as I knew my father did this. I felt myself shiver in rage as I got confirmation that Francis accepted and would meet me outside the colosseum in half an hour.
I couldn\'t wait, and I left the embassy seconds later. My body shivered in rage as I headed towards the Colosseum.
