While the younger elves went to sleep, the adults who had plenty of disposition helped rebuild the city, however, what most did not see was the meeting between the remaining leaders and what should be done in the future.
Inside the meeting room, only 4 seats remained occupied, the other 6 seats remained empty, as there was no one to replace them, especially in such a troubling situation.
Present they were, Alron, once rigid and always against humans, now he was nothing but a beaten man and no longer willing to even go against the presence of humans, if it wasn't so urgent he would be drinking somewhere.
Across the table, Frey, too, looked haggard, but the biggest difference would be the lack of an arm, thus making him unable to even fight again on the battlefield.
Gileon, who was sitting at one end of the table, rested both hands on the table as he thought. Satoru sat on the right side next to Gileon, looking impatient, the silence of the room seemed to be making him even more anxious.
"I think we should start by apologizing, don't you agree Brother Alron?"
The first to break the awkward mood was Frey, who didn't seem to like the idea, but it was a result that had already happened, they could no longer turn a blind eye to the fact that they only survived because of the help of Satoru, Envy, and Hilda.
"Hummmm... As much as I hate to admit it, we are in your debt, although we can't repay you for what you did."
Leaving pride aside, Alron bowed his head in thanks, his feelings were sincere, mainly because Hilda had died thanks to their help, someone who came from outside had died in a battle whose only benefit she would gain was her mind. clean for having helped and nothing more.
"Okay, the most important thing is you now, what do you intend to do?"
"It's true, we are not in a position to do anything until we define who will be the next king."
Frey put his hand on his head as if he were tired, this issue would bring even more headaches, the problems kept arising.
"Did the king have no descendants?" Satoru asked who was looking at Frey.
Sighing, Frey straightened his back and leaned back in his chair, being sad and melancholy, he said:
"All have died in previous fights, King Frost had been the last of the royal bloodline, when that happens someone you trust must start a new royal bloodline."
"This looks pretty complicated, how would that be done?"
"Through merit, a new king must be decided, however as this has never happened before, there is no parameter to follow, only intuition, for example, you, who is considered a hero of our race, have enough merit to be crowned."
Who said this time was Alron pointing to Satoru, who was surprised by the sudden and unlikely response, even though according to the example, he could indeed be the king, not everyone would accept that it was complicated times to follow a king who seemed Human wouldn't be good right now, the dark elves still had a long way to go if they wanted to interact with humans again.
So even though it was viable, this idea was immediately discarded, which made Satoru relieved, he didn't understand anything about how to be a ruler.
Silence took them all again, they had barely gotten around to solving the first problem, let alone bringing the glory of their race back.
But while everyone became reflective, Satoru suddenly began to revise Alron's words, and a slightly crazy idea might work, as long as he managed to convince the two advisers.
"Alron, you said yourself that I would have the right to become king, right?"
"Yeah I said, but that wouldn't work, why the question?" Intrigued, the three elves stared at Satoru who seemed to be thinking about something until he spoke again.
"So how about I use that authority and suggest a leader, so if it's a dark elf, there won't be much prejudice especially if he already has support from others, of course, with you helping him too."
"Satoru, I know you want to help, but who is this dark elf you know?" Gileon asked who could not conclude as to who such a person might be.
"Well…that would be you."
Satoru pointed awkwardly as he scratched his head.
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?"
"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Suddenly everyone in the room stopped and looked at each other without understanding, and then, the moment that was marked as the emergence of a new royal lineage, had its beginning given by a cry of disbelief from the new king and his two advisers.
Later in the day, talk of the sudden announcement erupted from all the villagers, the dark elves would have a new king that no one imagined.
So that the panic would not spread, the councilors discussed what led them to make this decision, again keeping the fact of Satoru's involvement hidden, that from then on would become a secret of the royal family of the dark elves, the day the Black Knight helped Gileon become a king.
With the help of the elf women and children, whom Gileon had saved, much of the compensation had already been resolved, along with their participation in the recent battle, most finally gave in, but as everything was still to be resolved, the heart would remain for later, since that same day, they had an unexpected visit.
⊛⊛⊛
"D-D-DRAGON! A DRAGON IS CALLING FOR SATORU SEIGE!"
Those were the words that caused a stir throughout the city, Envy, and Satoru who helped repair the houses suddenly had to drop what they were doing and carrying Envy on his lap, the young man ran to where he would meet with an unexpected visitor.
When they arrived at the exit of the forest, a huge figure with gray scales was seen lying down, its head lifting in surprise and happiness was also clearly visible.
Litchia, who was happy to see Satoru, hit her tail on the ground and made the earth shake.
What left the two brothers not knowing what to do seeing this scene just laughed embarrassedly.
"Litchia, what are you doing here?" Satoru asked who sat down next to Envy.
"I heard very strange noises coming from this direction, when a long time passed and nothing invaded the crater I decided to check it myself, so I thought I'd move on to a question, but seeing the dejected face of you two, I imagine you are concerned. "
"Is it so in your face?"
Satoru and Envy looked at each other, sighing together, they told the whole story of what had happened in this place.
As Litchia found out everything that had happened, she seemed to grow more irritated, which was a surprise that she cared so much about conflicts that didn't involve her.
Finally, she lowered her head again and lay down, everyone was silent for a moment.
Litchia perhaps didn't seem to care that much about the death of loved ones, however, she knew that other races valued these relationships too much, so she kept silent.
Suddenly, Satoru stood up, he was shaking his hands, as much as he wanted to help the dark elves to reorganize, how long would it last?
How long could they live in peace? Days? Weeks? Months? Years?
The humans didn't seem to give up anytime soon, this army had only been the beginning, when the fugitive soldiers reported what had happened, maybe even a bigger army would come, even that hero of light.
Unable to take it any longer, Satoru intended to honor the promise he once made to protect the other races, or better way to protect the weaker ones, if he couldn't go back to his world, at least something he could do, could not be missing, it will all depend on how to run.
"Litchia, could I claim that favor now?"
Surprised, suddenly, Litchia seemed to brighten again, while Envy looked curiously.
"Please let the dark elves move into the crater."
"Oh? That's all? I expected more from you Satoru..."
Discouraged again, the giant body stopped and lay down again, that day, Litchia learned not to create so many expectations in something sudden.
"Well, that was just the first part I want your help to destroy this kingdom."
"WAIT! Big Brother, can't you be serious?" exclaimed Envy in shock at what she had just heard, she couldn't even believe her ears.
"I hope you are!"
Suddenly, Litchia lifted her entire body and roared with excitement.
Seeing the mess he was causing, Satoru soothed the two and explained the plan, Envy was still in disbelief, Litchia seemed to be watching a very interesting play.
"Big brother, this is crazy, if we do something like that everyone will come after us, we'll be like the most wanted on the continent!"
In the end, Envy simply spent her breath trying to convince Satoru to give up on this idea, which put her in a depressing state, but for some reason, she was happy to know that her brother was being decisive, even with a bad idea.
"Say what you want human, I like the idea, where do we start?" asked Litchia motivated, she was having fun with it all.
"First let's talk to Gileon, and I'll convince him, we can move everyone to the crater as soon as we've completed the plan, in the middle of the chaos no one will care and even step here again, and then the elves will all be safer than ever ."
"Um, got it, so where are the pointy ears, I'll convince him." Litchia flashed a smile that looked more like she was going to kill him than trying to convince him with words.
"I think Envy and I better take care of this, no offense, but most people are terrified when they see a dragon."
Rolling her eyes, Litchia changed her mood pretty quickly as her excitement was gone.
"Doesn't matter what race, you're all peanuts."
Suddenly the giant dragon body began to glow in a strong light and the once huge body began to decrease changing its shape, until it was at the height of Satoru, when the light disappeared, a human woman's body was exposed, the Long, thick hair was the same color as her grayscales, and her eyes, which by the way remained intimidating, were one of the only things that hadn't changed about her.
In shock, Satoru and Envy gaped at the drastic change she had just witnessed.
"Come on, are you going to be looking at me like that for how long?"
Not used to dealing with big hair, Litchia threw it back, and two mountains were exposed in front of Satoru and turned red at the same time, but she couldn't take her eye away.
"You pervert, cover yourself already!"
"Eh? What are you doing human? Get it off of me, get away!"
Envy, on the other hand, felt overwhelmed by the sight and took off the hood that covered her body and threw it over Litchia who began to struggle trying to resist, but in the end, she ended up dressed like that.
"Big Brother, isn't it time to combine everything with Gileon and the others?"
Not understanding how Envy could be so intimidating all of a sudden, Satoru caught himself and looked away, she was right, after all, the priority now was to inform Gileon and the other dark elves, even though Satoru's instincts told him to look. a little more.
Returning to town, Satoru summoned Gileon, Alron, and Frey to the same day, their scream echoing again, Envy on the side agreeing with them that they tried to refute Satoru's determination using any possible means.
When more than an hour passed, they finally got tired, Gileon didn't even recognize this boy in front of him, he didn't say anything and just kept the same expression the whole time, which ended up irritating Alron and Frey.
Not that he thought Satoru couldn't handle it, after all his deeds, it might not have been impossible for him, but by agreeing to the plan to destroy the kingdom, they would be declaring a revolt never seen before.
Crazy would be little to describe such an ambitious plan, however, something bothered him more, now that the emotions stabilized, he noticed a woman with gray hair in the room.
"And that would be?"
"Don't you remember me, pointy ear, if it weren't for Satoruzinho, I would have eaten all of you on the mountain!"
Suddenly, as if he had a reality check, Gileon broke out in a cold sweat looking at the figure in front of him.
"Eh? Satoruzinho? Who let you have such intimacy with big brother?”
Envy suddenly stepped in and took Litchia's arms away from her brother, hugging him.
"You are quite a figure, but you know you're taking a giant risk, don't you?" Gileon said as if nothing else was impossible around Satoru, since he met him, his life turned upside down all the time.
"Yes I know, we didn't start out being friends either, but I know you're not a bad person, and you want to do it as much as I do, that's why I need your help, what do you say?"
Satoru stood up and walking in front of Gileon, he held out his hand waiting for the other party to agree.
"Alright, I will agree to this plan, however when the king dies, I want to be there to see it."
"Combined."
And so a new alliance between Satoru Seige and the dark elves was made, and it would soon leave its mark forever in the history of the world.
