Once Aura was on the roof of the castle, she directed an accusatory gaze at Erin who only turned her head to not see her directly.
Aura smiled and suddenly the world seemed to transform into a silver space.
“All the Argent family listen to my words, I Aura Argent accepted a direct disciple which will also marry the daughters of the Revy clan, all of you greet Daimon Licht!!!”, Aura’s voice echoed through the whole Argent family territory thanks to her amplifying it with mana.
As expected after such a loud declaration the higher ups of the Argent clan immediately rushed to the origin of the voice but contrary to what Daimon thought, not only they stopped at a certain distance but all the ones that appeared immediately kneeled down.
Aura saw Daimon’s surprised expression and she smiled “you seem captivated by that old vixen, but she is not only half emperor you will be seeing often”.
She pointed at Daimon before saying.
“He is your new young master, you must treat him with the same respect you show me, any questions?”.
…
Silence, complete silence reigned over the place, the previous ruler of the Argent clan was a magus king which “subjects” were all Arch ranked werewolves, before Aura took the throne about 1000 years ago, the position of the clan head was passed down in a specific family, unfortunately their last half emperor passed away due to an unhealable wound which made him lose his vitality until there was nothing left.
After that, the family of the deceased half emperor took over the position of being the rulers and it was not something bad since they knew how to govern… but there is always a “black sheep” on each family, the oldest son of that family turned out to be talentless but cunning so when he noticed that he would never be able to become an Archmage he tricked his youngest brother who was said to have a high possibility of becoming a half emperor to become his “subject”.
Using his own brother as hostage he got both his father and mother an Archknight and an Archmage respectively to become his subjects, from that moment onwards everything went to hell, the oldest son became a tyrant turning other Arch ranks into his subordinates, he even killed his own brother since a magus king can only have up to 10 subjects.
His last target was a rising star in the clan who had just reached the peak of the Archmage realm not too long ago, a distant relative of a half emperor from ancient times… that was Aura, since she valued her freedom, she resisted and ended up fighting for her life while running away from the subjects of the magus king, as if it was destiny, she hid in a secret dimension which entrance suddenly opened only for a couple of seconds before disappearing.
She was declared death because once the entrance to a secret dimension completely closes that place will suffer due to the chaotic space which will surround it but contrary to all expectations 80 years later, she returned to the Argent clan… as a half emperor, without wasting a second, she slashed the magus king in half with one swing of her sword ending the most miserable epoch in the history of the werewolf race.
When a magus king falls all his subjects will perish with him, so even if at that point the Argents now had a half emperor their Arch rank numbers suffered a huge lose so they became an easy target for other forces… or so they thought.
Since the black marsh galaxy was the closest to the white fang galaxy, a couple of days later two ruler families from the demon race were in front of the Argent clan but unlike what they expected both of their half emperors weren’t able to defeat Aura.
As the battle dragged on some people from the Revy clan leaded by Erin arrived and since the Revy family had a deep grudge against the undead who were allies with the demon race, Erin helped Aura to scare them away and that’s how they became friends, however the Argent clan was on a weakened state and it was Aura who restored the glory of the clan, thus becoming the ruler.
And now almost 1000 years later no one has ever tried to defy her, in fact since she was known for her incredible battle prowess both the Argent family and the Revy family proposed her the position of headmaster in the Wild Claw academy, although the Jolbaris shamelessly refused, two votes against one granted Aura the victory.
Daimon could see the respect and admiration in the eyes of all the people that was now kneeling in front of Aura and shouting.
“WE OBEY, greetings to the young master!!!”.
Aura nodded.
“Everything is settled on my side Erin, now it’s when the fun starts hahaha”.
Erin felt a bit worried, “I feel like maybe I shouldn’t bring her with us… I know that she is going to cause a ruckus like always”, she thought before saying.
“Let’s go, the sooner the better I guess”.
Both Aura and Erin formed a barrier around Aisha and Daimon and immediately started using space shift, after almost half an hour they were arriving at the Revy family main territory, Erin used her spell “dark curtain” to hide them from others at least until they reached her mansion.
“Mm?”, Erin stopped for a moment to check her sigil lector before frowning her face, which made Aura smile.
“Seems like coming was a good idea after all”, she said.
Erin shook her head.
“Well, I certainly think that a battle maniac like you is really going to enjoy what is about to happen”.
She showed the message Elizabeth just sent her which said.
“The supreme elder is here with Arthur Jolbaris asking for an audience”.
Aura’s eyes glowed.
“Old vixen let’s make things more interesting”.
……
A moment ago, Elizabeth and Elaine were waiting outside of her mother’s mansion, if everything went right then Erin should be returning in a couple of minutes, unfortunately things tend to not go as planned, Elizabeth saw from the corner of her eyes one of the people she couldn’t stand… her father which was now the supreme elder Edgar Revy and he was not alone, another one of the idiots she didn’t want to see was happily speaking with him, one of the half emperors from the Jolbaris family, Arthur Jolbaris.
Liz and Elaine exchanged a quick gaze, Elizabeth immediately sent a message to her mother through her sigil lector before standing in front of her sister and shouting.
“I don’t know what the hell is one of the half emperors from the Jolbaris family doing here but coming to our Revy family main territory without announcing it’s never a good sign!!!”.
Edgar frowned his face.
“Elizabeth, I was the one to invite Arthur here so don’t be rude…”.
He didn’t even finish his sentence when Elizabeth interrupted him.
“How weird, if I remember correctly only the clan head or the ancestor have the authority to bring a half emperor from another family up to this place, inside the legacy barrier of our Revy clan, am I right big sister?”.
Elaine nodded, now that she was also an Archmage her status as the clan head put her authority over the supreme elder.
“That’s right, I’m sorry if it seems “rude” to the supreme elder but these rules were created for a reason so unless you have our mother’s invitation then please take your leave”.
Edgar gritted his teeth, “so now you even Elaine is rebelling against me, damn Elizabeth you are always meddling in my business”, he thought.
Arthur placed one hand on Edgar’s shoulder and spoke in a rightful voice.
“Well, my old friend, it seems like you have some trouble with your daughters, perhaps you would like me to help you teaching them some respect for their elders?”.
Elizabeth was about to summon her domain when an angry female voice made all the members of the Revy family to go in a turmoil.
“And who gave you the right to “teach” something to my daughters, Arthur Jolbaris?”.
Elizabeth smiled, her mother arrived in the perfect moment and not only her, Daimon and Aisha were behind her.
Once Erin landed on the ground, all the elders and the upper echelons of the Revy clan who were on the Arch ranks approached flying, after all as far as they knew the Jolbaris might even declare war against them since their half emperor arrived without being invited.
Edgar saw the beautiful woman which was now standing in front Elizabeth and Elaine and he had a bad premonition, “out of all the moments she had to appear right now”.
Even Arthur changed his relaxed attitude to a more serious one, there was someone who stood at the same level as him now after all.
“Matriarch of the Revy clan I… I didn’t want to offend you nor your daughters but they didn’t show the proper respect to a half emperor and that is a punishable crime”.
Erin didn’t even flinch hearing his accusations, she instead put on a cunning smile.
“You must give respect if you expect to be respected Arthur Jolbaris, as far as I know neither me nor my daughter who is the clan head invited you, so the real question right now is “what are doing here” and who let you inside our barrier without my consent?”.
Edgar froze, it was he the one that bribed the guards and some elders to not notice the arrival of Arthur so if Erin was going to pursue that matter, then the one suffering will be him.
Arthur’s expression became a bit cold but when he saw a lot of the important members of the Revy family reunited around them, he smiled, “let’s see how will you reject my offer in front of all your family”, he cleared his throat before saying.
“If I’m not really welcomed here, then I will just say what I came to discuss and then take my leave, as a half emperor you should give me at least this amount of face”.
Erin frowned her eyebrows but she nodded.
“Go ahead, what do you want?”.
Arthur pointed at Elizabeth and Elaine.
“As you know my youngest son, Alexander is the most talented member of my Jolbaris family since its foundation that is why I came here to personally propose a marriage between him and your daughters, I think you will agree after all this is all for the “future of our beast faction”.
All the members of the Revy family were surprised, if they get the support of another ruler level family then their future will be really bright!!!
