That was embarrassing for the whole faction. We were scared off by a single lower dragon, but that… whatever it was, I could understand what scared Sal so much.

“So, mam, what do we do now?”

“We need to make an alliance with the God Slayers, you were right. I had hoped that we could deal with it alone, but I have a feeling that even if Gabriel didn’t step in and save her…”

“You think that she could’ve defeated Sal either way.”

“I do. You go as the diplomat. I’ll remain here and prepare.”

“Understood, will we strike back?”

“Yes, but I know for certain that she won’t be able to fulfill the requirements.”

“You really think so?”

“Yes, no one will sponsor her. Even the Supreme Faction will only watch her.”

“So, even if she makes it to the level…”

“She won’t be able to progress.”

“Brilliant.”

“Go now.”

“Understood my lady.”

With the diplomacy in progress, we would have defense. I made a mistake; I assumed that I could handle it.

Walking into my castle, I looked upon the head of Shade.

“Brother, what shall I do? Our sister is angry at me. I have no doubts I would win the next time we meet, but I would rather enslave her. Her power is useful; besides I could use her as entertainment for when the guests arrive.”

As usual, he stayed silent.

“Brother, your flesh is used to guard me, so please ward off our insane sister when we face her again.”

I considered what would be the proper punishment.

“Oh, I know, I could let them play with her. Watch her writhe in an attempt to get out and torture her friends as it happens. What a wonderful idea, Shade.”

My brother always gave the best ideas.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

“I love you, big brother, you always come up with the best ideas.”

I kissed his forehead and left the palace.

“That’s the perfect revenge, she embarrassed me, so I’ll embarrass her, then I could sell her to them. They want her power; they can have it. Perhaps they could even use her for entertainment while they conquer that infernal world.”

I snorted, remembering what Rose said.

“A million, please, even if He did make the system, no one is that powerful.”

“Mam?”

“Oh, I’m just thinking of how I could use my sisters for the next party.”

“I assume you came up with something brilliant?”

“Of course, given the leader of the God Slayers is a male, it would be perfect for the person he hates to be on such a wondrous display.”

“That is an ingenious idea!”

The guards all knew the kind of display I referred to. I wasn’t called the Eternal slaver for nothing.

“My sister acted with such audacity, using both bloodlust and the weird glitch to her advantage, she’ll get her karma.”

“Understood Mam, but an advance party of the God Slayers has shown up.”

“Send him to my castle.”

“Understood.”

I sat on my throne as the deity entered. I knew this man. He was one of Sal’s fighters.

“Hello, your grace. How are you doing today?”

“I am well, deity.”

“Oh, you can tell your lord that I plan on completing the deal anyways.”

“I see, but have you begun preparing for the party?”

“Of course, I have, but I’m not sure our honored guest is quite willing.”

“I heard rumors that you planned a great display during it.”

He smiled; he has been to my parties before.

“What are you planning, M’lady?”

“For my sister to give us a lovely dance over her subordinates lovely singing.”

He smiled and had a revolting face on. It was a familiar one to what I’ve seen at my parties with grand displays.

“All males are the same.”

“We are rather simple, M’lady.”

“Especially when women make sacrifices.”

“But I do ask if you are a bit hesitant due to her being your sister?”

“Do you not see the man above me?”

I gestured to the head.

“Sibling love hasn’t stayed my blade before, so why would it now?”

“I understand, my lady.”

“I assume your lord heard all of this?”

“Yes, my lady.”

“May I speak to him?”

“May she?”

Then a static voice.

“Of course, she can. Us of minor factions should stick together.”

The deity tossed the communicator.

“Hello, Gethel.”

“Hello, Regala.”

“I hope you enjoy the gifts I have planned, but it may take a bit longer to gather them then I expected.”

“I understand, I will be there for 5 days, so please don’t feel the need to hurry.”

“Thank you for your consideration, but I assume you have the payment?”

“Of course, as long as Dominion gets the promised goods, we will get the promised payment.”

“Wonderful, and I agree that we can’t underestimate her. My sister is unusually rowdy.”

“Can you handle it?”

“Of course, I plan to draw her out and capture her with legendary relics.”

“Brilliant plan, I would understand if you wanted to back out after the loss, but I thank you for your continued support.”

“Of course, my old friend. As you said, us minor factions must remain together.”

Then a man came in running.

“YOUR MAJESTY!!!”

“What is it? I’m on a call with my friend.”

“Mam, we are under attack.”

“What? Who would be foolish enough to attack us?”

“It’s Rose, mam. She’s ripping apart our men.”

“On our home world?”

“Regala, what’s happening on your end?!”

“It seems the esteemed guest came for the party a little early.”

“Wonderful, I’ll leave you too it, use this man to help.”

“Thank you for your support.”

I stood up.

“Kill all of them but my youngest sister.”

“Yes mam.”

It seemed that the guest of honor is a little early.
