Chapter 270: The Banquet (V): Threat
Much of the guests within the banquet hall looked at Rezar like he was insane, the eyes if the princess even changed the moment Rezar made his demands as she noticed the extreme look of fury that seemed plastered all over his visage. it didn't look like he was joking, and as such a request was something no one would be willing to deliver, it was obvious that he had decided to burn all of his bridges. The princess was worried, she knew her mother would defend her, but even she got the feeling she had pushed the bone king a little too far.
"Please your Majesty I know we've offended you, but I believe you should err on the side of caution and don't take things too far. We will provide an explanation and proper remuneration for crossing the line and provoking you repeatedly. But even you have to be wise enough to know that you can't make an enemy of the entire world. So I suggest you calm down, I'm sure the banquet no longer agrees with you, tomorrow will make it up to you I promise." The snow elf queen said as she stood up and even gave a perfunctory bow.
But Rezar was not stupid, and even if he was stupid he was not the kind to say he was doing something and do something else, he had already made up his mind. He was able to adapt to this new world because he wasn't someone who was brought up or steeped in the intricacies and politics of Elysium. He just wanted to be left alone to grow without going against the interests of the already established powers within Elysium. But now; maybe he was being paranoid but from what he could see they were trying to drive him into a corner, and whether there was someone else entirely pulling the strings from behind an obscure curtain.
"Is that so, well then I'll make sure to stay out of all your ways then. Apart from the slight against me, the sheer temerity and incapability of any one of you pompous asses to show me the barest minimum of courtesy to me, all because I have a death class, or because for some reason or the other you just want to look down on me. I've always just wanted to be left alone, but none of you wanted to leave me alone, and now when I decide to party with you fools, you all collectively decided to treat me like crap, attacking my kingdom while I was a way, and treating me like a criminal when I'm in front of you.
If anyone of you crosses my borders I'm going to take it as a declaration of war and invade you lot. I'll make sure ill spread death and destruction in my wake as ill turn fathers on their daughters and mothers on their sons.
Babies would crawl and moan with the throes of undead rage as ill usher in an era of darkness that would last a thousand and one years. So for the sake of the greater good, leave me the fuck alone! And stay out of my way!"
Rezar turned around with a flourish, his hands tightly grasped on Vita Gratia as he made to leave the banquet hall, obviously the secret meeting later tonight between the rulers wasn't something he would be attending. And frankly speaking it seems everything had finally come full circle and it seems the only way to survive was to either invade or make himself so strong none of these bastards would even dare fuck with him, but before he left he paused.
He already knew who his biggest enemies were, and Rezar wasn't one to leave a threat hanging around him, what he was about to do might seem childish, but wars have been started for far less than what currently drove him.
"Sillomere and the remains of the church of Yahweh and their death class users, as of this moment we are at war. Any other kingdom, faction or civilization that decided to join hands with the bloody bastards or stand in my way should also be prepared to die. I'll see you lot soon." And with that Rezar turned around to leave, but with his already sounded out threat laid before them, how could the snow elf queen let him go. Because just like Rezar she wasn't so willing to let a threat to her and her kingdom walk about.
"what makes you think I'd let you leave here alive after what you just said! Since we're are now at war, then you would forgive me if I decide to kill you now instead to save my people the horrors of falling to your filthy undead, you unholy creature!" Rezar smiled, then he turned around, pulling out both blades of Vita Gratia.
"Your Majesty you have three children, two of them were born before the Rejuvenation, which means they have memories of their past lives and aren't so connected to you in a familial way. The way Elysium works is that its distinct ability to continuously give life, reincarnating, generation after generation means that no strong bonds can be formed. And any bond formed would be to nothing more than power and money. until now. Every birth is now unique, a new life, without taint of a previous era...which is why your two-month old son is so precious to you.
Because unlike his two elder sisters, he's truly your child. Until I've wiped your bloody kingdom of the face of Elysium, he would be my guest. And when all is said and done and all that's left is a smoldering ruin of ash and snow, ill bash his head in front of you and then piss on his corpse before laying it at your feet and letting you contemplate the error of your ways, and your sheer stupidity on neglecting one very fundamental rule that now governs the very reality you live in!...you don't fuck! With Rezar Deathwind!
