Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Chapter 233 Meeting Of The Chiefs..."Are You A Coward"

It was a fresh morning. The sun rose slowly at one end, bathing the earth with it's golden -red rays.

The air was cool and signified yet another day for

Cored beasts roared as they flew across the sky. Proud and high they glided...

*Snap!*

The Blood-Red Dragon growled loudly as it flew across the sky.

in it's mouth was one of the majestic cored beasts that was enjoying it's morning flight.

The dragon chewed on the beast and some of it's blood fell to the earth.

Today was the weekly council meeting with all the chiefs of each clan in the kingdom.

A big muscular man wearing his Ceremonial attire that had red lacing at the edge signifying that he was a chief watched the dragon as it paraded the sky above the Palace clearly declaring to all flying beasts that it was his own.

"Chief Ban!" Another chief passing by called to him, "are you not coming in?"

"Hmmm, I will be right there!"

Even though he said this, he still remained were he was.

Unmoving and staring at the dragon in the sky.

The other chief sighed at this. He understood his fellow chief's feelings.

After all, Dragons were the rarest of creatures.

the last time any of these beast was seen in these lands was about a thousand years ago.

They were like the moon through a mirror.

Always there but unreachable.

And yet, here was one before his eyes

"Isn't it beautiful!?" Chief Ban asked subconsciously. "Such a magnificent creature! and it's not yet fully grown. I hear that at fully length, it can be as long as two hundred meters in length."

"Hmmm!" the other chief nodded.

"Just imagine having such a magnificent beast as a Totem!" Chief Ban commented with obvious stars in his eyes.

The other chief was immediately shaken by this, "Ban! I'll advice you to not have such funny thoughts. My sources tell me that the Dragon belongs to one of Princess Nora's children."

chief Ban laughed wildly,"Of course it does! I too have heard stories about this new prince. He is not even eleven yet and he is already a cultivator in the copper Realm! Amazing."

The other chief could tell that this compliment was as true as could be. Chief Ban was one that wore his feelings on his sleeves.

He was such a man. if he hated it, he would say so. If he wanted it, he would say so. And if he adored it, he would show it.

Both of them laughed and walked into the palace area.

The Dragon growled loudly in the sky, as if bidding them farewell as they entered the palace walls.

....

This was a great Hall. It was large. It's ceiling was high and decorated lavishly with spirit lamps that fell from the ceiling like Chandeliers.

On its walls were gold carvings of heroes past, and the achievements that made the people remember their names.

all of which was told in murals as reminders to their greatness.

At the center was a huge round table with comfortable sitting chairs about it.

One of these chairs was rather very unique.

it was decorated with gold, and had twin lion heads at it's arm rest and high back rest.

Obviously, this was the seat of the head of the table.

the other seats were made with well furnished wood and on the table of each seat was a small stature of a cored beast, representing the various clans.

Chief Ban entered this grand room and took his seat on the table, right in front of his clan cored beast stature representation.

There already some other chiefs at the table.

As he and the other chief approached the table, he was greeted by someone just outside the table.

This was elder Baldie.

By Tradition of the Vandora kingdom, only Royalty and tribe chiefs were allowed a seat at this table.

Naturally, elder Baldie was not allowed on the table.

However, this was still a meeting requiring a representative from the Giant Untamed Snake tribe.

After all, it might not have a tribal chief but that did not mean that it was not amongst the six major tribes.

Elder Baldie's seat was just a distance from the table.

Chief Ban was waved to him.

The Giant Untamed Snake tribe had the Gorrilla tribe as long standing Allies.

For many years now, it had been that way.

Even when the former king from the Giant Untamed Snake tribe that was couped against and was thrown out of the throne for his madness and the poor state of the people, the Gorrilla tribe still remained on the side of the Giant Untamed Snake tribe.

However, that did not mean that Elder Baldie could roll with him.

After all, Chief Ban was a Chief of a tribe and Elder Baldie was just an Elder.

All the Chiefs sat at the table. some of them covered with one another.

of course, the topic of their conversations was about the children of the former Princess that had graced the palace with their presence.

However, a particular door opened up and the chiefs instantly rose to their feet.

*Announcing the arrival of the king of Vandora. His Majesty king Richard the third*

An Escort announced loudly.

Immediately, they all stood to their feet in respect.

King Richard and prince Victor who was behind him strolled into the room.

The king took his seat and everyone else sat after him.

"Your majesty! the first case on our list today is..."

The king suddenly raised his hand, interrupting Prince Victor as he spoke.

"They are members of this meeting missing!"

Everyone looked around surprised at this.

As far as anyone was concerned, all were in attendance. After all, all the seats were filled and even elder Baldie was in attendance.

The king waved his hand and a person wearing the mask of a lion materialized from the ground.

"Get me my grand children!" he ordered.

Prince Victor saw this and it made him frown fiercely.

he almost squeezed the papers in his hand.

In a short moment, Tanya the maid walked into the room with Chiron and Nora clinging hard to him.

She bowed and took her leave, closing the doors.

Both Chiron and Nora where in the ceremonial clothing as Members of the Royal family.

Two maids entered the room with chairs for them and placed them directly behind the table.

Elegantly, Chiron took his seat with a smile on his face, and Nora on the other hand, sat nervously.

Even in her seat, she still clinged on to Chiron like a child afraid of leaving it's mother.

"Go on!" the king motioned with a hand.

Prince Victor swallowed his annoyance at the appearance of Chiron and Nora.

"We have reports that say that the new chief of the Chanland Kingdom has sworn loyalty to the Holy church, thereby leaving the Pig family of the Zodiac Houses. I have reports from Commander Hardstone about the Joker's Blue poison being used on guards at the border of the forbidden fog of unbounded Demise."

This report made many of the chiefs frown.

the Chanland Kingdom used to pay tribute to them, but now, they had the protection of a different power of the round table."

"If that is true, then it means that they are after that land." One chief commented.

Chiron looked his way. This man looked very young compared to the other chiefs. Almost like he was in his twenties.

He was the head of the Gentle Swallow Tribe. This tribe were rather known for their peaceful nature. There also never participated in tribal disputes and the like.

His name was Chief Mellow.

"Yes." Prince Victor admitted, "The land they gave us several centuries ago containing the Spirit stone mine!"

"Hmmm!" Chief Ban nodded, "That mine sits at the border of the two kingdoms and also shares a border with the forbidden fog of unbounded Demise! because of the spiritual energy from the fog, Spirit stones formed in the land. The same spirit stones that we use for our Tesseracts. At the time they gifted it to us, no one knew about the spirit stones. They only gifted it because of the Dangers of the Horde from the Fog and the forest area. They wanted it to be our problem."

"Yes! but after we discovered the spirit stones, they wanted it back. Unfortunately their were never strong enough. Now, they brazenly use petty tactics because of their new backer."

Chief Mellow commented.

Prince Victor coughed a bit, "I suggest that we make peace with them. their new king has just Ascended the throne. Gifts to congratulate him and peaceful negotiations will be better."

Some of the chiefs nodded to this.

However, a voice suddenly went out. that surprised everyone.

"Uncle Victor which are you? a coward or plain stupid."

"Huh!?" Everyone gasped at this.

They all turned in Chiron 's direction.

Chiron smiled, "I'm not too sure, but I think it most be cowardice!"
