"King Maximus, welcome to Diablos."

Warrick greeted the Elf King in the center of the mob that was approaching us. One thing that I noticed is that he didn't seem to bring his Queen with him, unlike everyone else. Unless it's the girl that I fought? But isn't she too young? No... They look too similar, their hair and eye color match... As the Elves approached, my thoughts were preoccupied with the question... Could it be... Incest? I mean, that was common with Royalty back in my world. It was a well-known fact about world history so it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary. Elves are supposed to be a long-lived but small population... Just as my thoughts reached that conclusion, the middle-aged Elf began to speak back to Warrick with a smile that I could see many women falling for.

" Thank you for inviting me, King Warrick. It's nice to see that King Leonard Nyx is also here, our people have quite the history after all. As for King Alan, it's nice to see you as well. I was quite surprised that the Beast King wanted to join in on this Summit."

King Maximus approached the table with a relaxed demeanor, it was confident and seemed like something that would work well for meeting new business partners.

" Well, I thought the subject of today was interesting, it's been quite some time since Elves have been seen anywhere besides Alfheim or a battlefield, I'm sure anyone would be intrigued by it, King Maximus."

King Alan quickly responded to King Maximus. His tone was quite friendly and seemed to be full of curiosity. I could see why though, since this question was the entire reason we came here in the first place. Taking a good look at the Elves now, I could see that they were all dressed in military uniforms except for the King and the young girl that shared his hair and eye color. It was somewhat similar to the standardized Demon uniform except that the armor with engravings showing the history of their nation was colored in different shades of green, brown and white. This was opposed to the Diablos military uniform colors which were different shades of black and red, the women's uniform were different shades of yellow and pink. The Beastmen are a bit more personalized for colors, it's almost like looking at a rainbow in all honesty. The Dark Elves uniforms were shades of grey and yellow. Meanwhile, the Royalty at the table were all dressed in ornate clothing. All befitting their natural colors, from the Deep reds and blues of Warrick and Aqua, to the green and yellows of the Elves in front of us. Speaking of which, King Maximus took the comment made by King Alan like water off a duck's back and simply proceeded to sit down with great posture as he answered the question.

" Yes, I'd be glad to find out how all this unfolded as well, King Alan. But I would like to introduce everyone to my daughter first, Eve, come."

At his command, the woman I fought stepped forward, she finally took her eyes off of me to look at the rest of the table. She bows her head with no wasted movement as her emerald, green dress fluttered at every graceful movement she made.

" It's a pleasure to meet all of the Kings and Queens present at the table, I am Eve Minerva, Eldest Princess of Alfheim."

Her introduction was eye catching... For me, it was thought provoking. I know that's the girl that I revealed while we fought. The fact that she's the 1st Princess isn't good. That means that she's either a fanatic with someone pulling her strings or worse... Her father was the one to give her those " orders" she yelled at me about. Perhaps she's seen through my ideas, since I can't help but notice she stopped scanning the table and locked eyes with me. She squinted at me before she decided to speak again.

" With my introduction out of the way, might I ask why a Human is here?"

Her glare grew stronger... Now I'm doubly sure that she's the same person now that I look at her when she's so close to me.
