Besieged

Lord Lovo exploded his energy to break through his evolution egg shell.

Lovo looked at his hands and noticed he still looked the same. Maybe he grew an inch or so but he couldn't tell. He quickly opened his stats to read his new abilities and skills.

Lovo stood there in awe of his new skills and abilities! He thought he was stupidly overpowered! If this was his first evolution he couldn't wait to see his next ones!

Looking around he noticed he was completely naked and had company. Julki and the other Skeletons were knelt down before him while Neasa was on the ground turned away with a red face. The other person he wasn't familiar with. A large bright blue lizard with yellow eyes. He too was even sitting down just staring at him.

"Who are you?" Lovo asked awkwardly.

Xetal collected himself and stood up.

He opened his mouth but the voice box talked for him in a mellow tone voice.

"I am Guild Master Xetal of the town Oswik. Sheva and Kelagar brought me here to meet you Lord Lovo." Xetal extended a hand to him.

"I hope we can have a peaceful relationship."

Lovo grabbed his hand and shook it.

"I hope so as well. Although I would like to get dressed before we have any more conversations. Hahaha."

Without looking back at him Neasa spoke.

"Lord Lovo. Balor and Ethinu made clothes for you. Toma, Gorgo and Master Fontana along with other goblins have renovated your room. You're clothes are laying on your bed!"

"Great! Thank you!"

Lovo was impressed by his new room. It still look worn and weathered, but it was much nicer. Before it looked like a ruined torture room and now it just looks like a ruined bedroom with a pile of bones neatly arranged in the corner.

"Welcome back Lord Lovo" Master Fontana spoke. "I hope you're evolution went smoothly. We have prepared this room for your return."

"Thank you Fontana. I'll have to personally thank Balor and Ethinu for the suit and everyone else for making this a nice room."

Lovo quickly dressed himself. The clothes fit him perfectly. He was quite surprised by that. Not only did they fit perfectly but they were extremely soft. Made from the Trancho silk. He thought maybe he should make armor from the bones when he gets a chance.

After he was dressed he turned to face everyone.

"I'm sorry about that. Shall we head to the throne room to chat?"

Lovo took a seat on his throne as Toma and some goblins brought in chairs and a table from the inn for everyone else to sit at. The adventurers didn't mind as this was Lord Lovo's home.

Xetal, Kelagar and Sheva sat at one side of the table while Toma, Master Fontana and Neasa sat at the other. Julki stood guard and had his skeletons patrolling. Yevn went back to Lovo's shadow and Cosmo sat on his lap. Even for. Draugr Cosmo was extremely soft to the touch

"Sorry for not arriving at the gate to great you all. I'm thankful you showed up and want to keep peaceful relationship. So what matters do we have to discuss?"

Master Fontana spoke before Xetal did.

"Lord Lovo. I believe the first topic we should state is what you want to name this castle. I think it will be easier going forward if we discuss that."

"Ah right. Unfortunately my master hasn't even told me the name of this castle, but he did give it to me. So I shall name it something new. New Dawn Castle. We are going to be setting an example for monster and mortals alike."

The table nodded in agreement and Neasa wrote down what was happening in this meeting.

"Lord Lovo. I have a proposition for you" the voice box around Xetal's neck spoke.

"First I would like to set up trade between Oswik and your New Dawn Castle. I saw you were growing Nightberries outside. That is a rare crop that only the military uses and controls it heavily. It would help adventurers when they take on quests. I will be able to send goods and even people to help repair your walls. I'm return that you give us a weekly supply of Nightberries."

Lovo took in account how valuable Nightberries were. If Xetal was going to hand over goods and services for just those fruit, which he had no idea what they did, he would definitely talk to the goblins about that later.

"That's fine with me. I do not mind."

"I do have one more request. I-"

Xetal was interrupted as Kipi bursted into the room.

"Lord Lovo! I apologize for my rude entrance, but we are under siege! An entire tribe of Orcs are here and they are looking for revenge!"
