Chapter 217 - Dirty Looks

Seeing that they can finally get to the point, Mogranius chose to answer truthfully but didn't reveal his whole intend since it will no doubt be portrayed as more than threatening, the topic is more than sensitive. "We are here to talk with your King, about a possible cooperation."

Of course, he can't say something like "I might possibly attack your King if he is using Demonite." In this little explanation. The best option here is to use the color of his skin and what faction he stands with, to his utmost advantage. "It might not be as well spoken off compared to your amazing revolution that got the entire Continent on their feet but... We are here to speak in the favour of 3 Revolting Domains."

"A revolt you say?" Asked Bittore while trying to stroke her chin, but was prevented from doing so because of the Fur surroundings her neck an even covering her mouth a little bit. The only visible skin on this lady, are her hands and more than half of her face too. She would likely cover her hands with leather or fur gloves if she didn't have to take them off, thinking she is going to engage in battle with these couple of men depending on what their expressed intent is. Ending up rubbing her nose instead, Bittore continued. "Which 3 Domains do you represent? The word doesn't really travel all the way up here, no outsider entered Maleemia ever since we reclaimed the Kingdom."

Careful with his wordplay, Mogranius gave it a short thought before he answered. "Oh that's understandable. We represent Gaster Kingdom, Pameres Kingdom and BaleTown." He took a little time to think, not because he forgot the names of these domains, but quite for a different reason instead. He can't say that he is in cooperation with a ill.u.s.tratian King or this situation will turn for the worse faster than the eye can blink twice.

Who would believe that an ill.u.s.tratian King revolted against the entire Alliance? For Ignites? It would be even worse if he told that King Zar is the son of the Grand King, no one would ever believe it without seeing it. "I doubt that you know these Domains though, they are not so wealthy nor popular." He added trying to avoid suspicion, but might have made it worse.

Taking the fact that Mogranius might be making up these Kingdoms just to pass through or at least survive, and considering the fact that she doesn't know much about what Occidentis Ignis holds since it isn't a Snow Ignite Domain, she decided to trust these couple of Ignites enough to let them in the Kingdom. "Sounds like a matter of which you need to talk it out with the King, please follow me." Since these are just two people, Bittore didn't find it extremely threatening for the Revolution even if both of these men are Grand Masters. Even if they try to attack anyone, there are enough individuals with Freezing Powers who can put an end to their intend, Maleemia even seems to have Fire Controllers too so this makes it a lot easier to fight off any attack.

Since Bittore approved for these couple of Ignites to enter the Kingdom of Maleemia, the rest of her companions watching from above understood how important this situation is! No outsider entered this Kingdom ever since the invasion.

Two more ladies dropped from the sky behind them, they flew down and landed like a feather which of course signifies that they are Fire Controllers as well. Normally the Fire blasting under a Fire Controller's feet would be easy to hear even if one wasn't paying attention. But both Mogranius and Eric covered their heads with fur hats connected with their coats, plus the wind blowing in between these Boulders is too deafening. That Grumpy lady however, wasn't one of the Fire Controllers that just dropped down.

These two ladies started following the three in front of them after, to ensure the utmost security. There might be more Fire Controllers above their heads but Mogranius or Eric insisting to see all of them won't necessarily prove useful or required. Bittore allowed for them to go meet the King, and that's all that matters for the moment.

At the Castle of Maleemia, King Tamzar who is the Leader of this Continent shaking revolution, saw his personal assistant approaching with a dash. Her name, Medea Grivas. A very capable Woman carrying Freezing Powers, she is a Snow Ignite obviously but that's not what matters right now. "My King. Two Fire Controllers want to talk to you!"

A bit confused of the face she was wearing no doubt, King Tamzar remained calm because it wouldn't be as helpful if they both started panicking. He proceeded to ask a question first to clarify the issue with an aim of giving permission to bring them in after. "Did any of our Fire Controllers encounter any issues? Why do they feel like they have the need to report this issue here? Did Bittore start a fight again?" Of course, he doesn't understand what's going on because his personal assistant was panicking to the point of not explaining the situation.

"You Misunderstood me." Catching her breath and stroking her white hair backwards, to move those little bits of hair that got stuck on her face due to all the sweating she was pushed through due to all the panic followed by strong anxiousness. Taking one last deep breath she answered in as much detail as she could. "These are outsiders!" Afterwards, King Tamzar was able to see bits of sweat on her forehead reflecting the light provided by the Torch. Sweat in this freezing cold? She sure is nervous, but Snow Ignites do have a warmer body temperature after all so its a bit more explainable.

With his eyes widened in shock, he proceeded to yell. "What? Have you all gone insane? Kill them!" He obviously isn't a fan of such a decision. Snow Ignites didn't exactly have a good relation with Ignites before the third Era started. In fact, the Snow Ignites almost set an attack to conquer the ill.u.s.tratian motherland, Meridionali Ignis. But the past Electus (Akareas) stopped them from doing so, threatened them actually. How a dumb move that was. 

Understanding the King's concern, also considering the fact that no outsider entered Maleemia ever since the invasion. She tried to calm him down with common reason, explaining. "No my King you do not understand, they are approved by Vice Leader Bittore Nardone."

"That doesn't excuse this clumsy acti..." Before the King was about to express his disagreement entirely, Medea just had a bit more to say so she didn't let him finish.

"It's important! The Fire Controllers claim to lead a revolution of their own and want to request cooperation." This Valuable piece of information turned the tables! At least now, King Tamzar doesn't want them killed.

"Bring them inside, but fetch two more Guards." He is deadly curious, but his curiosity can quite possibly lead to his death so of course he has to be safe.

"Do you mean two more Frost Blasters?" Asked Medea to assure efficiency. It tends to get confusing since there are Fire Controllers, Frost Blasters and normal powerless Guards too. Narrowing it down, the King surely meant those with powers.

"Yes I mean two more Frost Blasters Medea! The opposite of Fire is Frost!" Yelled out King Tamzar with boiling rage, intolerant of this lack of efficiency. He understands that she is nervous but that wouldn't be an excuse if King Tamzar ends up dead. "Catch up Medea common, this is too important for any of us to mess up." 

Without saying a word, she rushed towards her duties. Her anxiety however didn't become smaller, in fact it increased for the worse but tasks still need to be covered. Bringing the two Guests along with the three Ignites who led them to the Castle, plus two more Frost Blasters. She just nodded to acknowledge that the Guests are here, and without permission she went to another room. 

The two Frost Blasters walked near King Tamzar and stood by both of his sides forming a battle pose, ready to slice the Visitors in two if he tries anything. Although Eric didn't express, he thought. "As if getting tens of hateful looks from the Civilians here wasn't enough! Morons."

Trying to lighten up the mood, Mogranius broke the awkward silence with a light joke. "Why so spooked? We won't bite."

Bold enough with his wordplay, King Tamzar replied. "It wouldn't be a surprise if you did! The people of the lowlands are unpredictable, fighting like animals for worldly possessions." Although his point different, Mogranius focused more on the "Animal" part.

Most of Mogranius' comebacks are self centered and usually not so impactful towards anyone else, this time however he tipped the bucket with a short little reply. "Says the guy who lived in Caves." Unlike Eric, Mogranius tends to express what he doesn't appreciate a lot more.

King Tamzar along with the two Frost Blasters glared at Mogranius with anger while the three Fire Controllers behind the two guests rolled their tongue around their teeth trying to hold in the laughter. One didn't flinch even though she was sweating because all of the laughter she is trying to hold in. And that really says something!

Unable to come up with another comeback, and also wanting to cut to the case in order to figure out if these Guests should die or not King Tamzar asked. "Tell me more about your little, Revolution!" A little patience goes a long way after all.
