The Demon's Bride

The Lords' Meeting, Solution And Consequence-II

Garfon caught on the meaning of his words. With a frown, he hesitantly asked. "Does your solution risk people's life?"

Ian chuckled. "I'm here to give solution to save lives, to pay a life for a life surely isn't a solution, Garfon."

Seeing how tense the air between the two people, Oliver took ahold of the conversation as the middleman again. He raised his hand, beckoning Lord Garfon to calm down from his futile anger. "Please, if you do have a solution, Lord Ian do discuss with us."

Ian leaned to his chair. "It's easy, sorcerer works to protect the town but they're too weak because in term of power, what could a human possibly do in front of a mythical beast?"

Oliver and some of the church members caught the meaning of Ian's question and their expression turned gloom. Alex turned his widened eyes at Ian, he exclaimed. "Do you mean?"

"You're right." Ian grinned. "If a human couldn't beat the mythical beast, who else other than mythical beings could defeat them?"

Lord Garfon stood up from his seat with his face reddened from a fit of anger that rushed to his mind. "How presumptuous! Do you mean that you are telling me to open access for mythical beings to Runalia?!"

Oliver raised his hand again, giving an immediate warning to Garfon. "Please low down your volume and calm down Lord Garfon."

Pushing his anger to the meeting would only destroy his image, thus Lord Garfon humphed loudly as he took his seat back. His face was still enraged from Ian's solution. There's no way Runalia would ever want to open their gate for mythical beings. Their hatred and fear had gone deep through their blood, opening the access is almost impossible. The Church members also understood what Ian meant by the consequences of his solution. If Runalia citizens knew that their Lord would let the mythical beings to their land, chaos would happen. But if they want to save the lives of Runalia citizen, letting mythical being inside to fight with the beasts is the right choice.

However, Garfon couldn't agree with the solution at all and had no intention on agreeing with the solution. To his eyes, he could only suspect that Ian was aiming for him to let mythical beings enter his land and concur it for his own. He gripped his hand and slammed it against the table again. "I object that solution! I can never agree with open access for mythical beings to Runalia!"

Ethan tapped his fingers, he turned his head and said lazily. "Don't be too hot-headed, Lord Garfon. That solution work only if we want to enter Runalia And work with you. However, no one here is planning to enter Runalia with how much hatred they showed to us." Silence came again after Ethan's sarcastic words. The church members continued to discuss with each other, keeping their thoughts to the matter.

"We should keep a note on Lord Ian's solution but for now, we will search for another solutions. Do anyone have any other choice?"

The others looked at each other left and right and most people shook their heads. Seeing no one having any solution, a sigh escaped from Oliver and Alex's lips. Due to the night had turned inky black, they turned and closed the discussion for the day.

"The future meeting would be held again regarding this matter, thank you very much for your cooperation, my Lords." Ruhan excused everyone. People rushed in and out. While the other Lords except the human Lord discussed with the matter and exchanged their own thoughts, Ian stood up from his seat. Now that he finished with his matter, he doesn't have any business left and was about to go home. Ruhan and Kyle the old churchman spotted Ian near the staircase and called him. "Lord Ian."

Ian turned his face and swept his red eyes on the two men. Finally, He thought to himself. "What is it Ruhan, Kyle? Is there still something you want to discuss?"
