Chapter 25: What it means to be king

The battle of the courts would go down in the history books for the werewolves especially since it brought about the birth of a new demon lord, currently- a court of noble men from the attacking night court that were captured, the leaders of the day court especially Kaya and her Father and finally, the new Demon Lord (Y/N) 'Icarus' Nava Tempest were gathered in the castle of the day.

Lord: " The events of this war were catastrophic for your kingdom but since you attacked, we will pay no reperations or aid to your people "

Night Court Nobleman: " That is outrageous!! We should be compensated since we were the only ones to lose anything from the war "

Night Court Noblewoman: " Do not fight them Duke, they have every right not to help us, we caused our own fall... "

Lord: " That is the truth, should I be assured that no further battles may ensue? "

Night Court Noblewoman: " We would hope so... "

Night Court Nobleman: " You expect us to sit back and give up! "

You: " Silence! I am irritated by petty squabbling and dealing with affairs like this shall get us nowhere so I have a different approach; both courts shall be governed by the nation of Tempest and the Jura Tempest Federation, I as internal minister of Tempest shall pay aid out of my own pocket to the city to help it run at normal levels again and restore it like I did with the day court. In return, both cities shall pay 25% of total tax gained at the end of the year to Tempest which will provide for supply funding, making transport to both cities including roads and bridges aswell as protection and governing, I will place a leader in charge of both cities and they shall become Tempest Satellite states "

Lord: " I have no objections, I desired to make you king of our court anyway "

Night Court Noblewoman: " I have no objections either, under oath you are the leader of our city anyway due to ancient customs that we follow the victor of war "

Night Court Nobleman: " I object, I shall not have a lesser being be inc- "

The nobleman stopped speaking as his skills suddenly vanished, he saw a menacing aura around you as a ghostly worm like creature detatched from him and returned to your hand, he was powerless now and sat before you staring at the palms of his hands in shock- a terrified shock went around the room as they saw how quickly you silenced the nobleman who now could only melancholically stare at his own hands.

You: " Do not call a Demon Lord a lesser being, now since we have an overall agreement that I shall rule both kingdoms; I shall depart with the Night Court Envoys to the kingdom and do whatever I can in terms of aid before returning here and setting up a council for future affairs. "

The court was adjurned and you headed out the castle with the envoy from the night court, their envoy was a group of nobles and civilian mercenaries since all royals and knights were killed by you- you headed with them to a carriage which they carefully helped you into as a sign of respect before getting in themselves and preparing for departure- the caravans got dirty looks from the civilians as all they could do was bow their heads in shame since they knew it was brought upon themselves.

The ride to the kingdom was suprisingly smooth, it was purely for diplomatic appearances since you'd prefer to fly but knew it was better this way- you appeared back in the city to see an air of dread and depression fill the streets since people could only lay in their own sorrow against the cold pavements and ruined buildings, apparently soldiers from the day court lay seige to the place after you left and got their revenge which lead to the court discussions, you noticed the noblewoman fidgeting and faced her with a gentle look since you assumed she was more careful and gracious with her words than the others.
