Chapter 638 - Moonlight Maiden\'s Decision

"Stabbed by her sword?" Chief Moon recalled Lusha\'s story, and he did not hear anything about her getting stabbed. However, he heard that The Elven disrespected The Emperor. "No, Lusha did not say anything about her being stabbed, but she indeed said that Kaylin disrespected The Emperor, and The Angel unleashed her aura. That was why Lusha felt that The Angel is as strong as The Guardian Beast."

The Elven King let out a sigh for the first time. "Does that mean we have to face the two Guardian Beasts if we don\'t surrender?" Kalliyan alone was enough to intimidate them, now added with The Angel, The Elven King was pessimistic about the war. Especially with the missing Green Sky Serpent.

"Unfortunately, not just them, but also Alton also has surrendered to The Tang Empire. I think his friend Allan, who is a Primordial Rank Knight, is also with him." Chief Moon told The Elven King another piece of bad news. "The reason why I came here is to tell The Elven about The Moonlight Tribe\'s decision. If we can\'t find Sir Suvan until tomorrow evening, Lusha and Sylvia will meet The Emperor. We will be discussing the treatment if we surrender to them."

"Are you willing to surrender your freedom to The Tang Empire just like that?" The Elven King frowned at the unexpected decision. The Elven Queen, The Prince, and also The Princess also frowned. If the Moonlight Tribe surrendered to The Tang Empire, the Elven was alone to fight The Tang Empire. The King Revalor did not expect this from The Moonlight Tribe. They were so easily given up before they fought.

"You may think that The Moonlight Tribe is a coward, but I am thinking for my people. We have been at peace for over a hundred years since the war against The Demon Race, and my people are not ready for the war." Moonsong shared his thoughts. "Even the Elite Moonlight Warrior could not give a fight to The Emperor\'s subordinates. Didn\'t you hear from them that their limbs were cut without fighting back before they were sent back to be messengers?"

"Eight against two, but the eight lost. It\'s not just about The Kirin, Alton, Angel, and The Emperor, but the Emperor\'s personal army is stronger than we think, or else, The Dark Tribe and The Beast Coven would not fall this fast."

The room fell into silence. Even The Elven King could not refute Chief Moon\'s claim about that. It was not Kalliyan or The Angel, or even The Emperor who defeated the scout group, but The Emperor\'s two subordinates. He had to consider the fact that Kaylin and Lusha were an elite comparable to The Myth Rank, yet they were taken down with ease.

"But if we work together, it will not be easy for them to take us down as well." Princess Alissa broke the silence. She was confident that The Elven and The Moonlight Tribe combined was not weak to fall easily.

Chief Moon smiled wryly as he looked at Princess Alissa. "I agree that it will not be easy for The Tang Empire to take us down, but they will eventually take us down, Princess Alissa. Let\'s be realistic; who could fight The Kirin?"

"Us!" Second Prince Arbane stood up and declared. "If all of us in the room work together, I think we can kill The Kirin." The second prince extended his hands to all the people in the room. He was talking about his father, his father, Chief Moon, and The two Grand Elders.

The Crown Prince Virion shook his head. "Remember, little brother. Our enemy is not just the Kirin. We have to consider The Emperor who could force The Guardian Beast to follow him and Sir Alton, The Chief of The Beast Coven. On top of all that, they have an Angel that is as strong as The Guardian Beast. They will not allow us to gang up against The Kirin; they will not watch us do that. Unless Sir Suvan is on our side, the chance for us to win against them is zero."

"I agree with Chief Moon that we have no choice but surrender, but we have to discuss the terms. We don\'t want them to use us and then throw us away. We need to form a solid bond with The Emperor."

"Brother! We are The Elven! How could you suggest that horrible idea!?" The Second Prince pointed his index finger to The Crown Prince. "We will fight them, and at the same time, we will search for Sir Suvan!"

"Yes, even if we can\'t find Sir Suvan, we can work together with The human kingdom. The Lionax Kingdom is the strongest, and we can send a delegation to them to discuss an alliance." Princess Alissa supported The Second Prince.

The Crown Prince Virion shook his head as he looked at the adults. None of them talked about the situation of The Lionax Kingdom. "It seems you don\'t know what happened to the Lionax Kingdom. They are busy fighting The Revolution Army, and they will not dispatch the army to help us. The other two kingdoms are eyeing The Lionax Kingdom as well, and they will attack the Lionax Kingdom the moment they have a chance. We are alone, Brother and Sister."

The Second Prince Arbane looked at the adults, and one of them refuted his brother\'s claim. That meant that they were alone.

"You are true about them not being able to take us down easily, but they will wear out our strength and defeat us eventually." The Crown Prince Virion looked toward his brother. "If we lose in the war, what do you think will happen to our people and us?"

Princess Alissa and The Second Prince looked toward their first brother while the adult listened from the sideline.

"The best thing that can happen to us is death. But if we don\'t die in the war, we will be their slaves. They can do anything to us as they fit…" He looked at his beautiful mother and sister. "Especially for you two, I don\'t want to imagine what will happen to you two if we lose the war…" The Crown Prince shook his head and lowered his gaze.

Only then the Second Prince and Princess Alissa realized that losing the war was worse than surrendering to their enemy. Just like their first brother said, if they lost the battle, they would be slaves with no rights. However, if they surrendered on their own, they could still negotiate the terms not to be slaves, gaining a position in the empire.

Their thoughts were that they had done their best even if they lost the battle, and they could be proud of that. However, they never thought of the result of their defeat in the battle. In the aftermath of the battle, if they died, that was the best for them, but the worst might happen for them if they were alive, especially for the women and the children.

After the momentary silence, Chief Moon broke the ice and spoke. "I also have the thing that I want to tell The Elven Royal Family. We will be canceling the engagement between the Second Prince and my daughter."

The Second Prince Arbane opened his eyes wide as he stood up. He looked at Chief Moon in shock as he was not expecting to hear this. "W-wwhy?" Prince Arbane managed to utter that word.

Moonsong closed his eyes for a moment before he opened his eyes again and looked Prince Arbane in the eyes. "We will surrender to The Tang Empire, but with a condition, The Emperor has to marry Sylvia. We will create a marriage bond with The Emperor, the best way to ensure The Moonlight Tribe\'s future."

"What!?" Grand Elder Olming and Grand Elder Auron blurted out in shock. This was their first time hearing about this. The two Grand Elders looked at Chief Moon with questioning gazes.

"It\'s not my decision, but her decision." Chief Moon leaned his back to the chair and closed his eyes. "I tried to convince her since we have many excellent girls, but she made a great point. If it\'s not her, The Emperor might take the bond lightly. That\'s why Lusha and Sylvia will meet The Emperor tomorrow evening to discuss this further."

The Elven King Revalor closed his eyes as his index finger started to tap the table. The marriage between The Elven Second Prince and The Moonlight Tribe\'s Moonlight Maiden was a political marriage to strengthen their bond. While it was the case on the surface, in fact, it was Second Prince Arbane that fancied The Moonlight Maiden; hence The Elven King proposed the marriage. It was not a bad thing, after all.

The Elven King Revalor understood why Moonlight Maiden easily canceled the marriage. Their marriage was never based on love. At least, it was just one-sided love from his second son.

"We came here to convey this to you, and I apologize it has come this way…" Chief Moon stood up and bowed his head toward The Elven King and The Elven Queen.
