I walked forward in the Arena feeling slightly tired after the two succubi had their way with me for slightly longer than planned. Both Kathy and Mal wanted me around for longer than I expected, which I should have realized would happen. Still, I was happy that my confirmation with the Succubi went through easily. I knew they had hatred towards Ralph, but that news alone made their representatives thrilled with me, and I wondered if Ralph did something to piss off their bosses.

Christina would have to look into when her information network started to bring in information at all. I hid a sigh as I moved with Francis, who was smiling as a fight in the middle of the arena between two C rank fighters continued. The problem was that they were both defensive knight-style warriors that used a sword and shield.

There was no cheering for these two warriors as they were both skilled with their shields and swords. The problem was neither could get through the other guard, so I turned to Francis as we sat down, waiting to fight ourselves. "This match isn't going to be short," I remarked towards the similar skill level of the two inside fighting.

"Yes," Francis replied with that smile, "They are at a similar skill level, and if it weren't for the absolute hatred I see they have for each other, I would jump in to end this boring fight." Francis finished.

It was true as I watched the two go at it in the middle of the arena. Watching each strike at the other in the arena, you could see the wish to kill the other. Each strike at the other would kill the other if it got past their guard. Neither of these two wanted to give the other a small wound to give the other an out to live their life.

It was tedious to watch, though, since it started to get almost repetitive as we watched. The crowd, on the other hand, was betting with increased fervor as time went on. I couldn't just watch this boring fight as both the devil in the ring and an Incubus warrior fought to the death, and I turned to Francis. "Francis," I said, regaining his attention, and he turned to me, "What races do you think I should approach to get the votes I need?" I asked.

Francis looked at me, startled, and raised an eyebrow, "Wow," He said before continuing, "You know I never heard you ask me something like that despite how close I feel like we are getting. You seem to choose in your own mind before moving forward with your own decision. This is the first time I heard you asking advice." Francis remarked before looking more serious, "You should approach the Succubi, Which I am sure you can figure out on your own. It would be best if you also worked with the Imps since we, the Devils, are working with you—also the Incubi and the Vampires. The succubi, Incubi, and the Vampires tend to stay close together among the races as the Imps tend to stick to us, the Devils. The Nephilim would be a good choice to branch out to. That would give you a solid voting platform that would stop most stupid decisions but not enough for the eight vote majority you would need. It will also leave it open for the Medusa's to build up that eight vote Majority that you don't want happening." Francis was on a thought path while I decided I couldn't help but agree with him and was already doing something. "The warlocks would be a bad decision to try and will probably fall in line with the Medusa's in hopes to kill the free trade agreement. The Winged Demons might be an avenue you can follow while I think the Jinn might be interested."

My eyes widened at the mention of the Jinn. That was an avenue I hadn't thought of yet. They were a species I had yet to deal with, and I couldn't help but feel intrigued with them as a possible avenue. The Jinn were an interesting species that had a province landlocked in the Demon lands. They would not care about the fishing agreement. The only reason why I hadn't was because, to my knowledge, the Jinn have never have been close to the Bunny-kin. Due to the lack of information, I wasn't leaving my comfort areas to seek others.
