Chapter 16: Playing Politics Part 4

(POV: Toshinori Uchiha)

Tajima said clearly so every single person could hear him," We as a clan have already decided what to do. Since all the noble families here, and mainly the royal family itself, has requested for us to spread the bloodline of the Uchiha outside of the clan, we have decided to do so."

"Do you have any particular person in mind? If not, we from the Niegrick family would surely send one of our elders' daughters." A mob character said.

After that, a lot of the mob characters started to say something along the lines of 'sending someone's daughter in.'

There was something to note here, no one said that they would send their own daughter, only someone higher-up in their clans daughter, and this is all keeping in mind that they will be betrothed to the future heir of the Uchiha clan, this was obviously done to hit the pride of the clan.

"I must apologise to everyone here. Our clan has decided to allow my child to marry...the Kings daughter, Princess Kathyln Glayder." Tajima said.

"Preposterous!" Shouted one of the royal knights, as he pulled his sword out, however, we completely ignored him.

But he took that as giving himself an opportunity of trying to belittle us, so he pointed his sword at us and shouted," What do you mean, Decided! Are you trying to say that you decide who the King's daughter has to marry? Seems like the Uchiha have gotten too arrogant! You want some lowly child to..."

Before he could finish his long speech, he stopped speaking.

He looked at Tajima like he was looking at a ghost. He immediately dropped his sword, and started to wail on the floor.

'Seems like I have to teach my son patience...well he has not been the clan head for long any way. But what did I expect, he tends to lose it when someone makes fun of his family.'

Tajima, who acted like didn't just put a genjutsu on the knight, looked back at Blaine and asked, "So what do you think of your majesty?"

'That was a light Yellow stage knight, he took him down with a glance,' thought the king.

Well it was obvious we could take them down with a glance. As white-stage mages, we can annihilate anyone else, and now even more so with genjutsu.

"R.Right. But you see, my daughter is too young, so I wou..." said the brat, as he was trying to weasel out.

"Too young? Aren't the children the same age, what's the problem then?" Tajima asked.

"Unless you are saying the children of your family and the children of the nobles don't have the same value whatsoever?" I added.

Now he was in a pinch. Say something wrong and lose the trust of all Nobel families, or put your own head down.

Right as it was about to get entertaining, the blond noble from before said," Why don't we allow the princess to decide herself when she comes of age? After all, while your entire family was able to discuss this issue, the royal family hasn't had time yet."

I looked at the blond haired brat, and recognised the family insignia.

The bladesworth family, an up and coming noble family which focuses mainly on weapons instead of elemental magic.

"And who are you? Didn't think the 'mighty' Bladesworth family would send a brat to a Noble family meeting." I asked him.

He politely bowed to me and said," My name is Augustine Bladesworth, the heir to the Bladesworth family."

"Right, I believe that I should allow my daughter to decide when she comes of age." Blaine said.

Coming of age. It's when children become 16 year olds and are certified as adults who can make their own mature choices.

'It's just as Madara said. They will stall, and we will get more time.'

"We are okay with your decision, your majesty," Tajima replied. While we were here to push buttons, it is wise to stop while we are ahead in this topic. It is time to switch the topic of discussion altogether.

"Right. Your majesty, I have something to add." Tajima said.

Everyone seemed a little bit on edge. I mean, it is a given, seeing as Tajima just made a guard go useless with a glance, and he turned over the Uchiha clan's bloodline situation.

"What is it?" Blaine asked.

"Well you see, we from the Uchiha clan have noticed that the Kingdoms finest have been focusing a lot, on lesser important stuff in the kingdom. Especially the royal knights. As the first line of defense, and pride of the kingdom, they are able to relax a bit more. So we from the Uchiha family, recommend ourselves to establish an organisation called the 'Uchiha Police Force,' where we can do the 'dirty and meaningless' stuff for you."

A complete 180 change from his previous attitude, Tajima took the role of making it seem like the Uchiha were taking a lesser role in the country.

After a while all nobles seemed pleased with the ideas of the Uchiha going around the commoners.

I mean sure, if we behaved like we used to, we would have been in a predicament, but since everyone in the clan understands our situation, they surely will put their arrogance aside. If not, I will beat it out of them.

Blaine seemed like he was considering it for a while, and eventually nodded his head and said," Sure, it seems like a good idea. Let's discuss more about this,' Uchiha Police Force.'"

Jackpot.

A/N: Hi guys, obviously been a while. i was actually planning on writing 5 chapter today, but found out that I have a 15 page chemistry report due today and I did not even start it so I did that.

Anyways, probably won't upload too frequently for now, maybe 3-4 chps a week as I have exams, sort of started to write again as I am in denial for the exams and this is my escapism.
