Symphoria handed over Selena and the male man, who – if i recall correctly – was named Felbi. He glared at me with marked hostility, while Pale Symphoria had her eyes shut tight.

The people participating in this meeting were the elven chiefs, me, Gi Za Zakuend, and Nikea.

"It seems you failed to meet my demand," I said.

"W-What are you saying!? We've given you the tactitian and the commander!" Fenit said with great fear.

I looked at him sharply. "I believe I asked that they be handed without injury."

"But they resisted! There was nothing we could do!" The slender man called Nash Jirad argued.

"I don't think you people understand your position," Gi Za said, causing the enemy chiefs to look alternatingly between me and Shure. "Know that you stand here today because of our generosity. I hope you do not you misunderstood yourselves as being our equal."

Nash Jirad ground his teeth so hard it could be heard clearly. That seemed to please Gi Za, as he spoke no more.

"You have hit Selena, and it seems there is something wrong with the tactitian's eyes," I said.

"Her eyes won't open anymore. We all agreed to crush her eyes before exiling her. It was a decision made by the Sage's Council. Your demands came too late," the small-statured elf, Silver, said.

Rage took me, and before I knew it, I had him by the neck. "Lowlives! How low are you willing to go? And to your benefactors no less!"

As I glared at the elven chiefs, I reached out for the great sword on my back.

When the elven chiefs saw that, they all screamed.

"King of goblins, your anger is well placed, but it is not your place to punish these people." But then Shure's calm voice suddenly resounded.

"These people—" I tried to argue.

"You are the benefactor of the elves and the king of the goblins, but you are not the king of the elves. Please do not forget that," Shure said with a gaze full of conviction, persuading me to put Silver back down on the ground.

"These people will be punished by the law, yes?" I said.

"Of course," Shure wilfully nodded.

At that, I withdrew.

Since the day we met, he made it clear that the elves had no need for a king... Even though there was none more fitting to ascend the throne aside from he himself.

As long as he believes that, the elves will never accept me lording over them.

"Thank you, Shure! As expected of the hero—" Fenit immediately tried to butter up to Shure after he stopped me, but Shure would have none of it.

"Silence!" He commanded with a sharp gaze and a loud voice all too rare for the usually composed Shure. "Truth be told, I would want nothing more than to cut you people into a million pieces this very instant! How long do you intend to throw mud on our face!? To think you have the gall to call yourselves chiefs!?"
