Chapter 79 A banquet? Am I not invited

"Who are the three humans he spoke of before that helped him in the past?"

"At a guess he was speaking about Blue Ice Queen as she helped find out the whole ordeal by speaking with him." Silver Oracle began to explain.

"Then there is Fire Empress who dealt the punishment to those who did him harm."

"The last I am unsure about, though if I had to guess it would be Red Rose, I have mentioned how she, Blue Ice Queen and myself are friends and she is also Fire Empress's daughter."

"Hmm interesting, Madam Death supports the human empress so it may be possible to arrange a meeting let's see." After Elrinira spoke she closed her eyes and seemed to be focusing on something.

"Well how about that, she is currently drinking tea with Fire Empress as we speak, I think I will head over and speak to them about this matter, would you like to join me?" Elrinira asked, opening her eyes.

"Very well, since my quest is finished and Vincarna has gone off to level I have nothing urgent on right now so I would be happy to join you." Silver Oracle said with a smile.

"Very good then let us be off."

After Elrinira finished speaking a teleportation magic circle began to form under her and Silver Oracle.

"You do know that the human palace like the elf palace has magical wards to prevent unwanted teleportation?" Silver Oracle asked.

"Of course, my own palace has similar wards however they have not accounted for one thing when they made them."

"And that is?"

"Me." Elrinira boasted smugly before adding.

"Well, me and my contract with Madam Death, because of our contract and connection I can use her to bypass the wards around the castle and.."

Before she finished, they disappeared from the underground room.

Meanwhile over in Waning City, the capital city of the human race in Genesis and also the capital city of the Eastern Continent.

There sat a grand palace right in the center of the city on a cliff edge very similar to the human palace in Atlantia, the major difference was that below the cliff was a lake.

On the night of the full moon and when the moon was at just the right height, it cast a shadow of the palace onto the lake making it look like a waning moon, hence where the city got its name.

Leading down the rear of the cliff and extending out around it and the lake a marvelous city stood.

This city was the center for all commerce and trade in the eastern continent and was where the majority of players who played on this continent gathered.

Inside a fabulous room in the palace sat three women drinking tea, they were of course Fire Empress, Madam Death and Flame Servant who was in fact Maria, Empress Alexia Bristol's personal maid and assistant.

"So, Rebecca, how are things going over at the necromancer's guild?" Alexia asked.

Madam Death or Rebecca sighed before saying.

"About as expected, that old bag of bones Markus De-wright is still making life difficult for me as he believes I am still after his position."

"Well, he is not entirely wrong about that, if the opportunity arises, we must make sure you replace him." Alexia said before drinking tea.

"He is definitely up to something empress, both here in Genesis and in Atlantia." Rebecca began to speak.

"While in Atlantia we know he is planning to try and seize your throne in some way, possibly by trying to force Princess Adria into a political marriage with his wretched son, though we are not certain."

"As for here in Genesis we honestly have no idea what he is up to."

Alexia thought for a while before saying.

"Keep investigating what he is up to here in Genesis, I don't like not knowing anything about a political rival."

"As for forcing Adria into a political marriage, he has no hope, I promised her long ago that just like her cousin Sarah and her friend Alea, she would be able to marry who she wishes.

"Though I won't deny I have one candidate in mind that I would like her to choose, unfortunately the odds of that are slim to none."

Rebecca and Maria showed surprised looks, as far as they and everyone else was aware, Alexia thought no one was good enough for Adria, after all she had very high standards for the man who would get to marry Adria, even if she did promise her daughter that she could pick her own husband.

Rebecca was about to ask who the empress had in mind when all three women felt sudden magical fluctuations in the room before they saw a magic circle appear.

"A teleportation magic circle but that should be impossible in the palace." Aleaxi said in shock.

Before the other two could respond two individuals appeared with one of them saying.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Appear in the very room she is in." Elrinira said, finishing her sentence from before.

"QUEEN ELRINIRA!" Madam Death said in shock

"ALEA!" Alexia cried out.

"Who is this Alea?" Elrinira asked with curiosity.

"Oh, that's just the pet's name Fire Empress gives to me, I sometimes call her Alexia in return." Silver Oracle responded as she quickly came up with a story to cover their real names.

"Strange but ok." Elrinira said before turning to Madam Death.

"Death little girl, how are you? It's been ages since I saw you."

"Indeed Elrinira, last time we met you said you had to go save your sister and left before telling me anymore." Madam Death replied.

"Oh, did I, my mistake but don't worry that's all sorted now thanks to my new friends Silver Oracle here and Vincarna who unfortunately could not make it." Elrinira said with a smile.

"Vincarna?" Alexia and Maria said with surprise.

"Oh introductions, introductions please." Elrinira said happily.

"Allow me." Silver Oracle volunteered.

"Fire Empress may I introduce to you, Queen of all Succubi and Incubi, the Epic level World Boss, Queen Elrinira"

"Elrinira allow me to introduce the leader of the human race and the eastern continent of the mortal plane known as The Green Flames of Death, Fire Empress."

"Queen Elrinira it is an honor to meet, if I knew you were coming, I would have held a grand welcoming party for you." Fire Empress greeted sincerely because she was aware her subordinate Madam Death was in a contract with Elrinira.

"Nonsense Fire Empress there is no need for anything grand, after all I came here on the spur of the moment to speak with you and my dear Death about something Silver Oracle told me."

"Oh, might I invite you to join us for tea while we talk?" Fire Empress offered.

"That would be lovely thank you, I have not had a good cup of tea since that bastard raised my dead sister." Elrinira said while sitting down getting surprised looks from the three humans who thought there was a story there.

"Alea dear please join us, could your mother not come?" Fire Empress asked.

"Thank you, Alexia, unfortunately mother does not even know I am here, Elrinira asked me if I wished to join her and on the spur of the moment I accepted."

"That's too bad, when you see her again, remind her that it is her turn to visit me in our capital."

"I will, but are you not going to be attending the banquet we are hosting in a few days? I remember my mother said she sent you an invite." Silver Oracle asked.

"Indeed, I will be, but I am not sure there will be much time to sit and enjoy tea at a banquet, though maybe the day after if business does not force me to leave." Flame Empress replied before asking.

"By the way will our mutual friend be attending said banquet?"

"If you're speaking of Vincarna then I am unsure since we have not asked him yet, after all he has never attended a formal do before." Silver Oracle replied.

"I see, well when you get chance to invite him please pass on my hopes that he will be there, I know Blue Ice Queen would like to see him again to thank him for his assistance and also my daughter Red Rose said she would like to finally meet the man her two best friends keep talking about."

"I will be sure to pass on the message when I broach the subject with him later." Silver Oracle promised.

"A banquet? Am I not invited?" Elrinira asked, having listened to their conversation and making the four other women enter an awkward silence.

How exactly were they supposed to explain to an npc that she could not attend this banquet as it was not happening in Genesis.

The four women looked awkwardly at each other for a moment before Elrinira spoke up in a rather annoyed tone of voice.

"It would appear not."

"Elrinira it's not that we don't want to invite you it's just that..." Silver Oracle started but was cut off when Elrinira burst into laughter.

The four women looked at the succubus queen with curious looks, wondering what she could be laughing about.

"Oh, the looks on your faces, priceless, I should have met Vincarna years ago, meeting him has brought me so much laughter in just one day.

"Elrinira what..." Silver Oracle began before Elrinira cut her off again.

"Calm yourself Princess, I am fully aware that inviting a demon to a mortal's banquet is questionable, I am only teasing you." Elrinira said with a teasing smile causing the other ladies to sigh.

What they did not notice was the strange playful sparkle in her eyes as they sighed in relief.
