My thoughts finally abruptly ended when the door opened, and my mother came out. She wasn't smiling and quickly said, "Come in and join our discussion," She said and promptly headed back in. It had at least been a couple of hours of me waiting for them, and I wasn't in the best of moods. I was now a little hungry and annoyed from waiting in the hallway.

Still, I was the weakest, with the smallest amount of political clout coming back into the meeting. I walked in behind my mother a moment later to see a chair now waiting for me at the table with the Elders. This was much better news since small things like this usually were meant to invite you into the conversations or bring down your guard to catch you. Since there was nothing to convict me of at this point in time, I doubt it was the latter.

I walked over to the seat, sat down, and looked at the faces of the Elders. I could see some very hidden expressions of anger on the ones that wanted to use me as a breeder. Others seemed uncaring, while some looked thoughtful. It wasn't a large amount of variety this time, and I looked at them, waiting for them to restart the meeting from before after their discussions.

It took a minute for my Father to finally speak up, "So, my daughter, Chelsea," My Father began. "We have discussed while you were out of the room, and we frequently came up with a misunderstanding of what you meant on certain issues."

The fact that he admitted ignorance on the part of the Elders and himself that they didn't understand what I meant made my eyebrows shoot up. It was understandable, though, as the standing army concept was developed over hundreds of years in my previous world. In a world like this, with magic and Mana, it was more complex and would make universalizing the Army even more difficult, impeding the early growth that my previous world had.

I wanted to jump all of that early work and go for a more modern and specialized army bringing various specialties of the other Tribe's races into the picture. The only one that I didn't know what to do with was the Dragonic, as I wasn't sure how their magic and wizards worked. Their wild magic was something of a wish for the more powerful, and I couldn't understand that. To my knowledge, it was remarkably unsuited for a military format, but I never interacted with a Dragonic wizard or combated with them. Yuri was a secretary and didn't use Mana in any real way, making her a non-combatant.

"What misunderstandings do you wish for me to clear?" I asked.

"Honestly," Elder Tyrone said, suddenly jumping in. "We want you to lay out your entire plan and what advantages and disadvantages you feel come from it."

I turned to look at him, and I wanted to sigh. That was a lot, and I looked at the other Elders and saw them nodding. "Fine, Give me a minute to get my thoughts together," I said, and they all nodded again.

I thought about the presentation and what I wanted to do altogether. Whatever I did, I couldn't tell them the ultimate goal was to get rid of the tribal system overall and reform the current government system. I needed to be put in a very high position in this Army if we were going to try. Queen Mira already made it so that I would at the least control a large contingent of the Army and spellcasters just so that we could use the potions. That didn't mean that they wouldn't put someone that didn't understand what I was doing with the formate over me.

I took a breath and centered my thoughts. I looked at them all and wished that I had some experimental divisions and a small squad to show results when doing this. I had to take the shot in the dark before the war to try and save my fellow Bunny-kin or at least increase the chances of success.

"Alright, to start with," I began, "I want to restructure how the Beast-kin Nation fights wars in total. I want to accept all tribes in our nation into a single fighting force that can act as border guards voluntarily." I continued and watched the Elders listening to me before I continued, "In the long term, we can incentivize lower members of society from our own Bunny-kin to even the Rat-kin or the Wolf-kin to join us with knowledge of how to gather and store Mana inside themselves. Show them how to break through the ranks." I saw frowns on their faces as I said that, and I knew it was a hard sale for them now.
