lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

After Acnologia came back, his servants who took a rest after the picnic in the Clown Kingdom heard of his return.

Diablo was telling of Acnologia's "Heroic" entrance and victory after fighting Demon Lord Guy which causes a celebration. Though, it can hardly be called a fight as the the Dragon and Devil were only sending casual punches that didn't harm any of them, one didn't feel any impact and the other wasn't even touched.

A huge banquet was prepared for everyone, if the word everyone means Milim that is. The Chibi demon lord devoured everything for herself.

Rimuru couldn't help but facepalm at her actions.

Ramiris looked for Veldora so they can discuss and converse about the holy books together. And also to keep him busy so he won't meet up with Valentine.

However, the man of the show was in his own home, together with Irene and Demon lord Valentine.

The maid looking girl was no more standing behind her servants, and now she assumed her position strongly, staring at the Blue haired man "Now we are alone, mind you telling me the reason for this meeting." She said.

Acnologia leaned in his chair to be comfortable "One of your knights attacked my brother." He said "I require an explanation." He said.

The silver haired girl sighed "I have no idea of what you are talking about." She said with a smile "Perhaps you have mistaken my knights for another, I am not the only one with knights in this world."

"Yes, but I believe you are the only one in this continent with [Holy Knights from the church]" Acnologia responded.

"I believe her name must have been something like...uh...Hinata?" Acnologia spoke, he had a hard time remembering someone like a knight at this moment, but ultimately he did remember her. "I almost lost my little Female Brother."

Valentine was displeased and confused 'Female Brother?' she knew Hinata attacked a monster she found, but she informed her that he died. Yet the Dragon in front of her is speaking as if that monster is still alive, and why wouldn't he? 'If he did die, we wouldn't be speaking now, he wouldn't have known who attacked his brother anyways...Hinata~ my dear...I told you many time make sure you burn the area you fight in.'

"... Alright, let us presume that this Knight is one of mine. What do you want?" Valentine asked.

"Great!" Irene snapped her finger and taking the attention "Now we are talking, simple. We want an Angel feather. And we can call this even." She said.

Valentine frowned "No." She said. No way she was giving her kingdom simple and the foundation of her relegation like this, even for a feather.

Irene only smiled and continued speaking gently "Don't he so fast in deciding. I know that we are asking from you something great and invaluable, but you must be wise and chose careful, for everyone's wellbeing."

A clear threat to the vampire Queen who froze in her place and her followers had a sweat run their foreheads.

"One feather, for healing the damage your little cute knight has done, and maybe enter a friendly relationship." Irene said.

Tye vampire Queen tilted her head and sighed "Why am I listening to you as if you are related to this? Wings of despair, stay out of this. I am talking to the Elder Dragon here." She said.

Irene leaned back in her seat, and the room's temperature dropped.

Acnologia sighed "She is talking because she is...uh...my advisor." He said.

"And also his ally, my ally's female brother was almost killed which would have created some ripples in our people's relationship, I wouldn't want my ally to close his home from us and turn hostile against strangers and possibly even me." She said.

'Again... Female Brother...' Valentine noted.

'Allies?' Acnologia thought 'Since when?' he asked himself.

Knowing fully well what Acnologia is thinking, Irene winked at him and whispered "That's what I wanted to talk about after I return." She said.

"This is all great, but you are asking me too much, I do not know what will happen if I take a feather or an atom from the pair of wings, I keep them isolated from everything, in a vacuum of pure magic, if I open the case, I fear they may be damaged." She said while standing up, ready to leave. Irene and Acnologia exchanged a look.

"If you want any other form of healing the relationship between us, I am all ears. If not, then excuse me. I have a nation to rule."

"There will be no nation to rule if you don't cooperate with us." Acnologia's harsh voice echoed in the room.

Valentine and her company tensed up and we're ready to defend themselves. But Acnologia never moved from his place.

"Negotiation is over I am giving you a choice now. Give us the feather, and we can be friends...if not...we are enemies." He spoke every words with might and power in them. Irene tried to avoid this approach but the Vampire Queen closed the path.

Valentine looked at him and his crippling aura, her instinct was screaming at her to run, hide, and live. But where is she gonna run to? Where can she hide?

In front of her sat a being capable of destroying the world, she only chuckled helplessly "You are an Elder Dragon Alright!" She said, stating the obvious fact.

Now. She regretted her stupid decision, if it meant going against an Elder Dragon, screw the feathers, screw the whole wings!

"Fine." Valentine agreed "But if I give you this. I want to make sure that no harm will come to me or my kingdom or even my subjects from you and your subjects." She said.

Acnologia looked at Irene, who shrugged her shoulders. He then looked at the vampire and nodded "We have a deal. Bring me the feather. You have 2 days." He said.

....

After Valentine left, Irene and Acnologia were alone in the room, both were relaxing in their own seats, before Acnologia spoke.

"So...Allies, huh?"

Irene chuckled "We are already friends, why not allies. This just makes it official." She said.

Acnologia turned his head lazily and spoke "Isn't your kingdom very far away from here."

Irene only crossed her legs and answered as a matter of fact "Don't forgot that I am the Queen of Dragons, And Dragons don't build homes. They are a bunch of travelers that follow their Queen. I can just tell them that I am gonna be living here, and they will follow."

Acnologia thought for a moment "Well...The Jura Forest is big enough, a few hundred dragons won't be a problem."

"Most of them can take a humanoid form. But since the majority in the nest were Dragons, they didn't see any reason to transform unless they worked at my palace or wanted to enter it."

"I see..." Acnologia gazed at Irene for a moment, he was just about to speak when the wall was destroy as something flew in to the other side of the room planting itself on the wall.

"What the hell!" Irene stood up in confusion.

"My wall!!" Acnologia spoke, is this gonna be a habit now? All his walls are getting destroyed day after day.

Once the dust settled, Gaberu was revealed, planted on the wall, twitching in agony with a rose in his mouth.

From the side he came from, Rimuru was standing there in a punching pose.

He had an annoyed expression "I told you...Stop proposing to me!!" He shouted.
