The king didn't look the least bit alarmed at Fang's declaration. "Ayda what's the meaning of this? Don't you see that I'm busy? I couldn't care less about you and your boyfriend. You're not real royalty anyway." He went back to pleasuring himself with the women around him. Most of them seemed happy but their eyes told a story of misery and fury.

Ayda looked even more disgusted at the man who called himself her father. "This is Fang, an ambassador of the humans who comes in peace. They want to make peace with us father!" She lied smoothly. This made Fang raise an eyebrow.

"Ambassador of the humans? What's that bullshit, they can take their peace and shove it right up their arses! We'll kill every single of them if we can!" The king cursed and shouted. Fang was grinning at the king and turned to Ayda.

"So you brought me here to make peace between your two races?" Ayda nodded. "This war's gone on long enough. They drove us to the brink of extinction, now it's time to make peace. There's not point in going further with this."

The drunk/drugged king shrugged the women off of him and pointed at Ayda. "The only way this is going to end is with the death of all the humans! I won't stand for any less! Take this man out and have him executed immediately!"

Ayda looked even more disgusted. "Father, he's an ambassador of the humans let's at least listen to what he has to say. Let the council of elders hear his message at least."

The king looked at her for a moment and then smiled. "Fine, just for you... It'll be tomorrow. Now get the hell out!" Fang could see the killing intent in the king's eyes.

The duo left the room and a pair of guards escorted them to their arranged rooms. Along the way, "I apologize for my father Sir Fang. I have some supporters amongst the elders, we won't let you come to any harm." Ayda said. A smile came across Fang's face as he thought of something. "Alright."

After sleeping and waiting around for a bit Fang was escorted to the supposed meeting room still wearing his gray robes. Navigating the massive wooden halls they came upon the enterance to the meeting room. Ayda and six elder figures stood outside of it.

The guards respectfully left Fang with the group. "These are all of my supporters for peace. Meet Elder..." Ayda introduced the elders. "Just say that you were sent as a peace ambassador from the humans and we'll take care of the rest. Alright?" Fang laughed internally.

"Ayda is too innocent expecting an outside stranger to work with her. Good thing it's me." Fang thought.

They filed into the room after their preparations were complete. It consisted of a very large circular ampitheater with a podium settled in the middle at the lowest point. Fang was directed to the middle.

Various handsome and beautiful gray haired elders walked in and the meeting began. "What is your message ambassador?" One of Ayda's supporters questioned.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

"The humans want peace with the elves." There was an immediate outrage at Fang's fake announcement. The supporters argued with the other elders as the council discussed this shocking news. A majority of the elders called for a continuation of the war.

It was a bit unfair, the supporters numbering six while the opposition numbered twenty. The king sat at the highest point of the ampitheater with a beautiful and dignified noble woman. A few of what was presumably his sons sat on the same level. They were all sneering and calling out. "How foolish! The humans are just afraid, now is the time to strike! They all deserve to die!"

Fang stood at his podium and watched all of the commotion. "They're all beautiful, but stupid. No wonder they lost. Time to crash the party." Fang thought. He drew his wooden sword, the guards had thought it no threat after checking it for magic.

None of the elders except a few noticed Fang's action. With a speed faster than the elder's eyes could see Fang thrust out his innumerable times. The shouting stopped as holes appeared in each of the opposing elder's heads, along with the king's family. Blood trickled out of each of these holes as they collapsed on the spot.

Ayda, who was sitting near the bottom level, and her supporters all stopped mid-sentence. Their jaws dropped as they saw they were the only ones alive in the council room. They simultaneously all turned and looked at Fang who looked calm.

"Now you don't have any problem with making peace. I've had enough of that corruption. Enslaving humans and wanting to continue a war they had no chance of winning? They were only thinking of themselves." Fang announced.

Their faces went through a variety of changes, shock, anger, fear, and finally resignation. Ayda was the final one to come back to her senses. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

"I solved your problem." Fang responded. Fang had killed many people throughout his life but there was always a reason. He was taught the difference between right and wrong and had experienced many things. Selfish people causing the extinction of a race was a good enough reason as any to kill.

On the plus side, he got to test his enlightenments in the foundations of swordsmanship. Those thrusts were nearly twice as fast as Fang could attack before!

"Calm down Ayda, I just solved your problem. They all deserved to die anyway for almost killing your race." Fang waved his hand and said dismissively.

After the massacre of the council of elders Ayda was announced as the new queen of the elven people with her supporters becoming the high council. Peace was achieved with the humans, who didn't care much anyway about such a weak and fallen race.

Fang left the elven capital and began travelling once again. A massive red city came into view as Fang walked away from the capital, heart and mind calm as the stillest waters.

"Here I am again..."
