Proposed Alliance

"Jared. This is your cue." My father whispered to me.

After the King had done away with useless salutations, it was finally time to get straight to the point.

My father gave a bit of introduction, for the sake of the newcomers, but the members of the Royal Court already knew of my identity.

'After all, they've already received my letter and gifts…'

"As my father has rightly introduced me, my name is Jared Leonard Alphonse Sereth. I come bearing grave news concerning the Demons, as well as a viable solution concerning our current predicament."

As expected, hushed murmurs escaped the lips of many. However, their talks didn't last very long.

"Jared, you say. If I am not mistaken, you are the same one who resolved the Demonic Disturbance three years ago." The King rightly interfered.

I smiled and nodded, happy about his thoughtfulness.

Once he mentioned the Disturbance, no one spoke a word.
