Inside the capital city of the Tigerman Kingdom.
Countless Tigermen are currently repairing their destroyed walls and also tending to the dead that has fallen in the battle against the Dwarves and the Dark Elves, their morale was not as robust as before due to the incident that just happened recently.
Wagons with different banners and flags can be seen going through the Kingdom.
These wagons which are glared at by the Tigermen along the path belong to the Dwarves and the Dark Elves, anger is still present in their hearts due to the battle that just ended. A parley between them has finished and they came to a conclusion.
At first, the Dwarves and Dark Elves are skeptical of this parley.
None of them expect King Samobas to request a parley just after the fight ended, he was very much against the rebellion so this kind of move is unlike him. But as it turns out, King Samobas really did negotiate a truce with them.
King Samobas wanted a truce in exchange for him keeping quiet about the Oath Pact.
Of course, the Dark Elves and Dwarves didn't accept that instantly as they also suffered losses due to the fight. Under intense negotiation, they settled on a part of the Tigerman kingdom's territory for themselves.
A representative from the Dwarves alongside Fylson was the one attending the parley.
Both representatives take a huge risk in attending the parley inside King Samobas' castle, at the heart of the Tigerman Kingdom. Normally they wouldn't accept this, but knowing that they have the backing of the Silverstar Pack, they decided to accept the term.
If the Tigerman killed them, the war will continue and the Tigerman Kingdom will definitely fall.
Despite the restlessness inside of them as they feel that the parley was surreal, the Dwarves' representative and Fyslon went to the gate of the kingdom in absolute silence, they gained a favorable exchange in this parley.
In fact, it was so favorable that they couldn't think of a reason why King Samobas accepted it.
'Something must've happened, this is too odd. The Silverstar Pack might be the ones behind the change of King Samobas' Fylson thought while looking at the castle that is getting further and further away.
Fylson ponders for a moment as the wagon slowly makes its way to the kingdom's gate.
Just then his eyes widened in realization before he glanced back at the castle once again, 'Does the Silverstar Pack want to make the Tigerman race sign the Oath pact...? I can't think of any benefit aside from that for the Silverstar Pack to spare the Kingdom'
'But how would we be able to tame the Tigerman? What is his plan...?'
With such a powerful race that rests its pride on honor and strength, the Tigerman race wouldn't just succumb to the Silverstar Pack and the races bound by the Oath Pact. It's clear where their loyalty lies, and it's going to be hard to change that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf he were to guess, the Silverstar Pack's plan was not conquering through fear.
Since King Samobas is spared, it's clear that the plan doesn't involve in choking the entire race until they succumb to their forces. But that was it, Fylson can't think of a way to make the Tigerman surrender without using fear and strength.
'Let's just see what the Silverstar Pack is going to do...' Fylson thought before closing his eyes.
Meanwhile, inside the Tigerman Royal Castle.
King Samobas is sitting on his throne made of hardened rock that reaches quite high. Above his throne were four royal seats with four Tigermen sitting on them, but they doesn't have robust figures and were clad in armor like the rest of the Tigermen.
No, the four Tigermen wears foot-length overcoats and looks very old.
From the looks of it these four Tigerman has equal or higher standing compared to King Samobas, the layout of the throne room also favors that idea. "King Samobas, do you realize what you have done...?" One of the Tigerman wearing a blue overcoat and a royal cane in his hand asked with a grim tone.
"Coward, you requested a truce against the rebellious group?!" another shouted in anger.
Each of the four Tigerman seems to be against King Samobas' decision, their wear furious expressions while glaring at King Samobas who is sitting on the throne unmoving. It made them even angrier when they got no response from King Samobas.
Another Tigerman wearing a red overcoat looks at King Samboas' side with a frown.
"King Samobas, tell us the reasoning behind your action. If we send a messenger to the Vampires then the rebellious group would've been in trouble, why did you choose a truce and even gave a portion of our land instead of doing that?" the Tigerman said with a calm tone.
Upon hearing this, King Samobas kept silent for a moment, unmoving from his throne.
"I think it's time for us to switch sides..." King Samobas finally opens his mouth.
But the sentence that came out of his mouth makes the four Tigerman widen their eyes in utter shock, they can't believe those words came out of King Samobas mouth. Inside the kingdom, King Samobas has a fearsome and unyielding reputation.
Coming from a humble background and carving his way to King, King Samobas is very respected.
With that kind of reputation the entire citizen of the Tigerman Kingdom always favors him and even speaks highly of him, so hearing something like this from King Samobas' mouth caught them completely off guard.
"Have you gone mad, King Samobas?!"
"Don't speak lightly of that kind of matter, you're a King. It's your responsibility to protect the entire Kingdom fr-"
King Samobas then intervene and cut them short, "That is exactly what I'm doing!"
Abruptly standing up from his throne, King Samobas then faces the four Tigermen with determination flashing in his eyes, "Open your eyes, look around you, the humans are pushing us once again and King Oddity is probably dead. We have fought for the high-rank Supernatural's agenda, but we received close to nothing but casualties from them!"
"Why should we keep fighting their war, and let our people die in vain?" he added.
But the Tigerman wearing a blue overcoat rebutted back with clear anger inside his eyes and tone, "We fought alongside the high-rank Supernatural so that we can at once rule over the world! It's in our best interest to let the high-rank Supernatural win"
Upon hearing this King Samobas laughed, his laughs echoed inside the throne room.
Most of the four Tigerman slowly frown as King Samobas completely changes, this is not the King they served and knows. "If you really think like that, then you're really naive. We're not going to rule the world, the high-rank Supernatural races will. And do you think when they do they would treat us differently compared to the humans...?"
"It's a chance that we're willing to take, we know how it ended up for us if humans ruled the world"
"Yes, that's right. We can take that chance"
A ridiculing smile appeared on King Samobas' face as he looks at the four Tigerman that are disagreeing with him, "Maybe we can take that chance, but let's talk reality here. Do you really think the high-rank Supernatural races are going to win?"
"Of course, this era is different. We're going to win against the humans" One answered firmly.
King Samobas once again denied it and shakes his head as if he was talking to fools, "In the history of the world, how many eras have we thought of overthrowing the humans? Each time we said that this era is different, but we eventually lose and cause the humans' hatred of to us grow"
"But this era is really different, there's a third nation on the way" he added while clenching his fists.
Switching his gaze in a firm couple of seconds from Tigerman to Tigerman, King Samobas then continues, "It's a side that has humans and Supernaturals living together, the ruler is an enigma that is born in the humans but lived with Supernaturals. Isn't that a better deal?"
"No matter what you say, my decision is fixed. I will guide the people to survival" he added.
After saying that King Samobas descend the throne and headed to the big door, his steps echoed throughout the throne room as he left under the gaze of the four Tigermen, the council of the advisory was completely at a loss for words.
Everything King Samobas said is a surprise to them, and they all ponder very hard.
While walking away with the intention of leaving the throne room, King Samobas clenched his fists once again, 'I have no other choice, it's either this or destruction. But if we play it right, we will survive this...'

Later that night, Dark Elf Kingdom.
King Jorik is massaging his forehead when General Theodas and also other Dark Elves from the noble families seek his audience and told him about the fight at the capital city of the Tigerman race, they were told to retreat under the Silverstar Pack's Alpha's order.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMost of them are angry that the Tigerman race is spared, and they have a just reason for it.
Due to that battle to massacre the entire Tigerman race, the Dark Elves lost many of its people and that relates directly to the noble families of the Dark Elves. Head families came to him and ask him to seek an answer from the Alpha.
If the Alpha helped in that fight, the Tigerman would've been decimated completely.
"Call Uncle Isniu to me, I need to have a word with him" King Jorik commanded.
One Dark Elf in armor standing beside the throne nodded his head before he quickly leave the throne room, the sound of the door opening and closing again can be heard before complete silence envelops the throne room.
A moment of peace has finally presented itself for the King, but that doesn't last long.
Knock! Knock!
King Jorik raises his gaze when he heard the gate to the throne room was knocked abruptly, the door then opens revealing the Dark Elf that he instructed to call Uncle Isniu here. A hint of urgency can be seen on his face.
"What's the matter? Have you called Uncle Isniu here?" King Jorik asked.
But the pointy-eared person that seems to be sweating shakes his head, "My apology your highness, but there's a visitor that seeks your audience" he said while bowing his body slightly in respect.
King Jorik raises his eyebrows when he heard this, he doesn't expect any visitors this night.
"It's a messenger from the Silverstar Pack, your highness. She wanted to speak with you and she claimed to be the Female Alpha of the Silverstar Pack" the Dark Elf said which instantly makes King Jorik suck in a cold breath.
Realizing this, King Jorik instantly commanded, "Bring her here with respect"
Nodding his head the Dark Elf leaves the throne room to bring the so-called Female Alpha of the Silverstar Pack. It didn't take long before the gate was opened again, revealing a dashingly beautiful woman with wavy brown hair.
From a glance, King Jorik knew that he needs to treat this woman the same as he treats Rex.
The woman pauses to look at King Jorik sitting on the throne with a calm gaze, she then slowly walked inside and the sound of her footsteps gets louder the closer she gets. Even the guards inside the throne room feel numb from her presence.
Not only that, the way she walks and her gaze brought a sense of power and authority.
A tingling sensation on King Jorik's back can be felt when his eyes were directed at the glowing red eyes that the woman has, almost identical to Rex's eyes. But the surprise didn't stop, King Jorik's eyes then landed on a glowing mark on her forehead.
Instantly when he saw that, King Jorik clenched the handle of his thrones with his hands.
'K-King Mark...? No, there shouldn't be any more Werewolf from the Silverstar Pack that has a King Mark apart from the Alpha, I think it's the Herald Mark. But what kind of Heral Mark is that, I've never seen that kind of mark before...'
Under the wavering eyes of King Jorik, the woman stopped her advancement.
Raising her gaze to look at King Jorik, she bowed a little gracefully before she announced, "I am the Female Alpha of the Silverstar Pack, my name is Adhara Alpenore. It's a pleasure to meet with you, King Jorik of the Dark Elves"
