The venue of the meeting is in as traditional far East war council very much room as just with as all participants sitting in seiza as the very leaders sit on the top as while the other members just sit in two columns facing each other as just involved just in the meetings is the high rankings leader's of the kingdom as it's was with the top noble clan's of kingdom and with started Izanami, Minazuki and the always sleepy Shizuka who is already asleep in her very place while sitting in seiza as the very member's of Nobume and Miko clan as who are Izanami's close friends are in very a attendance and just sitting a behind Izanami in just silence and the very other's just a are also very much included just in the meeting, Chigusa, Chiseaya, Saya, Yuuko and Chiasa who left the seat of senators as just has until their very successories come fort and for the first time in 10 years And lastly the servants.
There is a group of eight others families and they all set on there very seiza and in which
which are high-ranking clans that serve the very Imperial Court now and as They are in charge of managing as the political aspect of the nation and very serve as leading figure's of the countryside now and as the familiars are numbered as Ichijou (一条), Niijou (二条), Sanjou (三条) and just so on now and as the very surnames of their members are not the same as the family names, however as There used to be a total of nine families in the very past and but the Rokujou (六条), as the sixth family, staged a coup and as were destroyed, just then they all hunted down the very just remaining members off the households and which is why there's are only eight families today now and in the very Royal council and just each family has it's very owns role to as fulfill within the Imperial Court and as there very respected regions as well Sanjou are in charge of very divine matters just related to Amaterasu while the Gojou are in charge of dark works of the kingdom now and it's just was becoming a serious matter and both of those families are needed in this matter and they even declined few of her demands and orders now and today they're here to just as discuss that now as The Gojou House (五条家 Gojōke) basically serves as the very soldiers of the Imperial Court and as are in charge of protecting the law's and as justice of the Far East and the very main military force just as well and just a few week age as she received in vital information's about some unknowns mercenary groups invading and stalking up in their coaster lines and they had just some very much weird weapons with them just as However, At first it was just nothing as they thought a they were just some normal group of mercenaries but time went on as they just send some of the spies to very infiltrates and understand there very motives as time went on and to keep getting information and they have received more in the recent days and it was one of the most bone chilling and very a concerning and today they will be revealing everything to us all tonight and as his family has worked and also performings very just a various darker jobs as for the very Imperial Court and are just sometime's even ordered to kill very people as just who are not just as necessarily criminals or connection at times.
All of its members also belong to the Familia of the Goddess's of Beauty Konohanasakuya hime as she was passing through the others hall and she remembers just as Shortly after the very beginning of the Age of Gods just as they realized just as how strong their blood was and how certain a magics and skills are just inherited now as This has allowed all of theirs descendant's to inherit the magic and very skill of their founder over the course of a thousand years by now and it was making it possible to mass produce soldiers with the same power's and abilities till this very day. As development of skills or magic in the Far East is a rarity, so this makes them valuable to the Imperial court and to her as well now.
As the very Gojou have stricter rule's and as regulation among theirs family member and very much have a practice selective of just a breeding to ensure that's they pass on theirs very powers from generation to generations and in this very results members of this clan are forbidden as from forming relationships outside of there family and just with other's family members as well now if they don't as follow the rules they are executed without a trial for them as it is committed treason and shameful for their very families pride and it very honor as a Gojou clan members now as If they try to run away or anything's as they had reinsured things like she disagrees with the most as the very The women are given a poison that basically turns theirs bodies into living vessels of poison and disease in which will kill any man who tries to sleep with one of them and then they just even have others thing's that just makes it weird and more as unthinkable and she doesn't agree with that either now and how do they mate with their very women's as that very simple to combat this the men of the family regularly as drink an very alcoholic beverage that acts as very much an antidotes and thus allows them to just father heir's with the female member's of their very own family now as well and it very much weird but it was her friends and comrade who's suggested as this idea to her children and It's still being used to this day.
As the fact that all of their members possess the very same set of power's that's led to the development of "ultimate standardization" it one of their training as assassins skills and a Although they all are raised as expendables prawns they have all inherited the secrets of the very first Gojou and theirs founder, and master killing and secrets techniques as that have been perfected over a thousand year's by now and mastering for theirs own skill's and abilities to it very maximums potential. As then for the very female members of the family wear masks with a cherry as blossom pattern that cover the upper half of their as faces. All of the member's also look more or less the same a since as they are very closely related and but unlike 7 years ago when one of them actually left the household and gone to the West lands Where the gods resign and where's the dungeon resign as well and as It has been that very long as there was no kind of contact with her till now as the worst has happened to her and to her party of friend's as it was her child's decision she just hope's it was worth it's in the end and as But unlike seven years ago, as the very numbers of the very persons attending the meeting is fairly low now has just compared just to a decade ago where the persons involved goes a over by the hundreds, but today the very current numbers are only head as counting Izanami, her very sisters now and Nobume, Miko and the very guards with them all now as now a little bit delayed but she's just made it to the very hall and started a seat next to the very goddess of far East as she nodded at her has it was time for her to set down as well now.
As she Fair glided down the largest vaulted hallway of the Imperial tower towards the large doors leading to the very Council and It was time for the big meeting to finally to begin as she looked around the councilman and every last clan member who came here and their servants with their guard's as she could sense worried glances to each side as she's tread carefully as behind her to see her very goddess as she looked emotionless but in reality as she was just more worried than anything right now and as while she and as her husband had it been to the has Imperial Capital several times as a lass and a handful of time's since maidenhood, as this was only shakra as second time both in the city and in the very Imperial Tower and alone after her husband went away into the battlefield and very death by that black ninja now and then She realized where she was as she could feel a glare towards her and it was coming from behind her as she looked back and saw that the goddess was nervous and she nodded at her as she understood it watching memes as The goddess was about to just a reassure her handmaid before leaving her outside in the hallway, but realized she's needed her more as to get in early if she was going to improve her chance's at findings out as just about the others councilor's Sakura and then stepped off to one side with several other attendants as was ushered by Imperial Guards into the very Elder council chamber as just everyone Occupying the topmost space in the Imperial tower, it's was an impressively as built stone dome, the stone pillars arounds the exterior reinforcing both it and the very notion that's nothing could interrupt or reach them here.
As Nobume just knew others very land's had very same problem now but a then from the reports, they all have received they just had started and just we're far more plenteous in her very region in the very far East now and the very last thing she wanted and need was for all the entirely imperial Court just blame at her and her family now and then the very report of mercenaries invading their shores and for the return of the very monsters and they are told they might be some dragons in Those are very regions now and she's surely wouldn't get much sympathy as if it became known the very dragon problem had started there and she looked at Sakura's direction as she can tell what she's thinking right now as she may not like her but at least she's is with her in these matter's rathers than the rest of the Sakura's just could only watch just sadly as all the votes were cast, and with only her, Izanami, Minazuki and Miko and as casting votes in favor of movings the Second Legion to intercept the very mercenarie's and push back the monster's before they invaded and as expected the very others of the core court just cast's opposed, and even Gojou for some strange reason and a then they're all started to as moving towards other topics afterward
"The second topic: As the very appearance's of and just very spread of monsters and just there very kin and as the very malicious and destructive action's they have done" As one of just hailed Izmo, as loudly reading from a scroll before the chamber fell silent again as now "Truth be told...the return, if you will, of these creatures disturbs me more as than any civil conflict" spoke the goddess and has Just looking around the room as if expecting someone else to add something by now as it was then "It's just very unnatural" As Miko just muttered and the other near nodded at her very response as they heard her saying it "Since the reports I've read are conflicting, I'd be interested in hearing just as what the Imperial Battlemages has to say on the very matter. Dragons are magical creatures after all" As one piped up Jin Ichijou with a wave of his very hand and just After as just quick started vote allowing Izmo to reports on the creatures since the very office was not just a usually allowed to provide commentary's on topics, He stepped off the seal of adjudicator where he stood and cleared his very throat.
"According to both record's and eyewitness accounts, that very monster of the as cannot reproduce a naturally, but as they're just do not die natural deaths either now and as the very reappearance and resurgence of theirs number is no doubt just due to some kind of magical intervention now but the cause and source of it is still unknown to us all " Izmo just stated formally.
"So you're.....saying someone is just resurrecting them.....like necromancers do ?" As just asked a worried konohara of Niijou and just running a hand through his very thick, as wavy brown hair before leaning forward in his seiza resting a hand on his cleft chin and reminding Sakura just why many women in Aiko and cornrow just considered him as the most eligibles of very bachelors now "That is one possibility" sighed Izmo as the group shifted uneasily at the thought." As You don't have any... more information on them ?" asked konohara of Niijou just as incredulously. "As None that is credible and much knowledge of the very as monster and dragon's vanished as when the order of the Blades was wiped out" as Izmo told Everyone about this as everyone gained one thing silence afterwards and shakra was was about to speak up, but the quiet smooth tone of chiasa ichijou just a gained everyone very attentions voice gave them all pause as it then Everyone faced toward's her now "I have learned a few thing's about them a Just as recently" as muttered the sorceress, still seated comfortably with one leg just crossed over the other on his seiza just how that just f****** possible at this point and the very as disrespect he's just showing the a nerve that made everyone's sit up and they are difficult to kill, but then it can be just done However, their essence lingers, and unless you just as find some way of....dispelling...their soul to another plane, and it is only a matter of time before they can be resurrected by just other dragons now ." As he replied a back to every one else "Other Dragons ?" queried a few of the others at the same time. "...I had thought initially it was only one monster who could resurrect them, but reports from my people have shown there are several that are doing so" came the reply from her as quite enough
"How came you by this knowledge?" asked Izmo suspiciously, as forgetting He's was the adjudicator for the very moment."I have my ways" as she shrugged with a brief smirk in the end "So just then, we just simply have to determine which monster are the very ones resurrecting the other's and just put an end to them" as one of the lords as resolved as if thinking to himself out loud now "One does not simply...kill...a Dragon, particularly not the powerful ones" Nobume exclaimed "Did no one read the reports of the attacks on the Gold Road, or just a some of the attacks even among your own provinces ?" And everyone just started to discuss amongst them until as one of them laughed "My people have killed two of them just since the sightings started" proudly replied the shielder sudo kinjou as Chigusa, Chiseaya, Saya, Yuuko and Chiasa. Just looked at him weirdly "Well then....all our ills our forgotten..." sarcastically replied one of the Lord's as it just resulting into very full blown argument was as deteriorating to the point Sakura could see goddess just had stepped back onto her seal and was about to rein them back. Now was her opportunity.
"As There is one who can defeat the Dragons and monster now !" she stated loudly, rising to her feet in emphasis and as Everyone was surprised into silence, and Sakura knew she had their very attention and didn't realize as what she has done as this might be very just problematic "In the sunlight's shrine in one of the temples in the North side of the island
there is an old prophecy, that very in time of great need, a knight would come, defeating the Dragons and monster restoring the land.
I know many of you think the idea ludicrous that an old prophecy would be the key, but I can assure you that indeed a knight just has come forwards from the north and he's just happens to be an ex-adventurer and now a mercenary." As she explain them all and it's was quite a disabled belief for them all now
"Impossible! As the velka bloodline has been wiped out" as exclaimed one of them and it was not very much impossible as the story's says that The warrior of the night and light slain the last dragons and took the internal flame and ran away as he disappeared with the very flame as ending the bloodline and as assuring in the age of darkness humanity until their goddess come protected them all and sealed them as banish them all away.
"He is not from any known bloodlines. He is simply a gift from the Divines" as reassured Sakura as the goddess looked at her that's is she some kind of an idiot or something now and "How do you know?" queried one of the very Lord's as gojo's head look toward's her curiously and as he just wondering that why hasn't the goddess or anyone else informed him about this as he should at least look into the matter himself and seen who is this very person is just looked like and It might be an rumor has to makes his suspicions more just as correct as he looked towards the goddess as she's closed her eyes confirming it now as he just smirk at them " Very interesting" has he just said as he's just wanted to know who is this very mysterys and interesting person that there very Goddess as just is met " as He has slain no less than six dragon's before as he laying many monsters like minotaur's as from Griffins too many other creature's that the dungeon can reduce and he has even as seen and combated with the mercenaries as before " As Sakura just stated proudly taking no small measure of glee in the dumb and as founded looks of every one of the very other Council members in the Royal Court and it's was the very part's about slang just different monster's and dragon's and caused even the aloof Nobume as to lean forward in her seat.
" This is weird as osaka makes no mentioned of him in the reports" the High Chancellor's more asked than stated." As Osaka wishes to just use him and to wield him has a weapon in the civil war that our nation is facing and I have other several reports about his very ideal involvements in underworld and a his very legitimate business of importing slaves and trading them high quality merchandise It happens to be one of the families lost one of their daughters in recent times and as his hand was in it and When examining is trade mark's recently" As Sakura inform them all as everyone's started to mutter and whisper with one another as well " I felt he was more useful doing as the Divines as intense of just doing dealing with the monsters and Dragon and I'm sure we all can convince him to deal with the mercenaries and that's very person just known as The blacks ninja and her crew of rebels have caused so much destruction's as even loss of loved one's toward's us all in here In this very rooms I'm sure the Council can see the wisdoms in this." As Sakura just as replied back and still wondering as how's and why did they include him in the reports as it was clearly stated that very he might be operating under the direct order of the very council now and provide him the necessary materials and information for carryings out their will and order and justice and in then in response they will provide him with their protection and some banking and a very as land and some position amongst them as all now and Then they might consider him just getting a consort for him among the houses and might take getting very humiliated as in Far East Then again, if he's wasn't constantly bypassing her, as they're wouldn't have to so publicly disagree But who cares that's might work in their favor one way or another now.
But then there was a really long silence that surprised Sakura Surely they weren't going to try to follow Osaka' advice....Or worse as take actions againsts him as they don't need him as theirs enemy's as they have too many already " You say he's killed six dragons and other monsters already ?" As queried one of the Lords as everyone follow suits after him and There was incredulity in his tone, as but the stern looks on his face as he just clasped his hands in front of him betrayed a sincere interest." Yes in the past and to my very has knowledge and information at leasts two of them were done singlehandedly " As Sakura stated and just turning to look at goddess as who nodded to reinforce what she'd said as
then "Singlehandedly just would be an very impressive feat alone " as lord's just replied thoughtfully, but obviously not as convinced such a person very existed now "I had read some reports on this man, but they seemed too fantastic to believed as Some of them are even contradictory" replied another lord as, intently studying chakra and as making her a bit uncomfortable as how everyone just as kept on staring at her for some reasons now.
"It's may be hard to believe his very martial prowess, but I've seen and benefited from it firsthand, as has divine metal. One of them have you seen-?" Sakura started, turning to the slumping One of her friends Moki as she silently watched and just kepts on muttered something else "NO! He hasn't answered my summons...yet" as murmured She did now. "As for the contradictory reports, just I can't speak to what others say, but only what I've seen firsthand already, and as I tell you this man can solve the Dragon problem. We just need to support him" staunchly reaffirmed Sakura before sitting back down and has the goddess Just close her eye's knowing what's have Her friend has done and she's going as to feel that disappointment the council will just proves now.
"Then why has he seen fit to hand over just a position of Lord like us ?" challenged one of them quietly as Everyone started nodded at her decoration and as just then Sakura couldn't help but just started in very much surprise but then very composed herself then and then they all just might be catching on their true motives "I've heard no such thing or plans " as she just lied, hoping to bluff the rest, but even as she's did, as she knew Nobume and her and rest network of agents had far more very credulity than the relatively new princesses of this nation now. "As I just can only assumes they're would lie to claim the very support it's would bring to them He's already proved he's willing to do anything to achieve what they want " as she added on quickly response hoping to deflect the suspicion But it's actually was what they all needed to confirm something and then as The goddess started to speak " I think that is enough for today as we still have no type of any confirmations off this yet and we all still just need more information and knowledge about our new ally and his motives and the more pressing matters is this strange group of mercenaries and the question is who is as funding them and how do they know about the terrain of those shores of ours as it's just very breeches and walls are those sides of the nation were only secret towards us and it's very terrain as it has a gateway to enter in and out of our cities invaded in a case of emergency How did he or they know about it as it might be that someone amongst the people is trying to rebel against us and it is not common knowledge as compared to the civilians as they we're all not inform of this hideout or anything's at all and considering whoever is funding them might be a part of this new groups and as this very black ninja might be there's very accomplishment if I'm not mistaken or she's might be backed up by the very same person if I'm not just as much mistaken now" As the Empress just told the entire council about this as everyone went silent as after a few minutes letting it sink in everyone started to chat amongs each other as Sakura looked at the goddess for a second as she just saw a disappointing as just glares at her and as she knew one thing as she just messed up and she let her very emotions tell valuable information That only she and the very empress knew about and they haven't speaken about the deals they told him and it is one of the biggest mistakes she's has done as then even the gojo head looked at them as he asked one question "Does he march with the any clan banner yet ?" asked one of the Lords with concern and kuno gojo just look towards them" No my men have scouted as even investigated them as they have no kind of a banner or allegiances to any house that I am aware of and as they all haven't known themselves apparently what can you expect from higher goons with no loyalty to money only " replied back with malice in his tone.
As Everyone in the room was silent as they were trying to understand just what gojo as explained to them all and Then started to as understand what their goddess meant and it was strange still but they still need to think about it and perform new contracts and as some policies for themselves as they started to bicker amongst each other again and just deciding what is right and wrong action as they should all take but in reality's the very empress had more relief sight as she made a quick save and she didn't want more kind of complications in her life nothing right now. Now she just had practically trumpeted Just about everyone on the Council and here he had a bounty out for her arrest as well and this mercenary will be dealt with as well as then this jaune Arc was another matter and she wants to keep him silence among just as everyone's else more information about him jeopardize her plans for the future and she's needs to make sure as she keeps him under very much control and just considering him being on level four or if her sources a might be right he must be six at best and He might be a valuable asset in the future and as she's needs to keep him safe from her own Court and keep a secret contracts with him and if he wants to live here in this country then he Do not mind doing some dirty work for her and he might even live here peacefully with his family and in a bonus she will might give him a consort and one of her own daughters as she was planning on marrying them off to someone but this might prove even better as for her and she has one in her mind that just should be not here right now as Even as she was thinking's over this, Sakura just timidly handed her several small notes gained some measure of relief as she read through them.
TWENTY NINE MINUTES LATER
As It was another day in Far East as the very Empress and goddess Just sat over her very throne and presiding over as the Council of fire breathing councilman as they basically bickering and taunting one another as tired of the constant attacks on just Basically just everything and requests for someone that's she doesn't know about his very death, and then as this happened after the periods very much debates and conversations till now as it's bothersome as she's saw the times and it was near closing as she could finally go back to her own room and sleep Just pretty much tired this point and then She decided to take action and as she call out for subjects before her and decided to brought the meeting to a close. " As attention royal subjects Before we bring this meeting to a close, does anybody's have any new items or topics of any kind for discussion ?" To her and everyone's surprise that Tsume Inuzuka, as the very head of the effective Inzuzuka clan stood as she had just forgotten that he was attending the meeting as well and as he's basically one of the silent one's and "Yes"

COUNCIL MEETING
POV
As It was another day in Far East as the very Empress and goddess Just sat over her very throne and presiding over as the Council of fire breathing councilman as they basically bickering and taunting one another as tired of the constant attacks on just Basically just everything and requests for someone that's she doesn't know about his very death, and then as this happened after the periods very much debates and conversations till now as it's bothersome as she's saw the times and it was near closing as she could finally go back to her own room and sleep Just pretty much tired this point and then She decided to take action and as she call out for subjects before her and decided to brought the meeting to a close. " As attention royal subjects Before we bring this meeting to a close, does anybody's have any new items or topics of any kind for discussion ?" To her and everyone's surprise that Tsume Inuzuka, as the very head of the effective Inzuzuka clan stood as she had just forgotten that he was attending the meeting as well and as he's basically one of the silent one's and "Yes Empress-sama, I would like to hire this very Jaune arc of far west as just in to my very clan and territory" As he's said it with a straight face as the very empress eyes narrowed while the civilians jumped up and shouted in very protesting againsts the idea of him to hire someone's like Jaune and very much an outsider's no less with no honor as intact and then they wanted protests further as a fight of going to break out until Empress lift up her left hand up and stylists everyone in the room immediately and just as waiting for them all to calm down, as she answered.
"I see, please tell me why's are you of all the people would make this gesture since only a few week ago you the rest of your clans and others like you just were just as...hesitant to let him live or just wanted him to leave as most of the council room what to change of heart now ?" As the Empress asked him just directly as there's no time or to just sugar it now as Sakura revealed everything any way and She needs to make sure that's jaune and His family stays safe as She just doesn't want him or his very familia to be her very much enemy and with that very black ninja just as roaming around picking off her soldier now and then having him as an enemy would be a disaster as her very much report tell about him and his very action's in the kingdom's of that very Kingdom of that Amazon's woman and it stated that's he fought two of them in the same day both being level six at best and It's rumored that he's was holding back and it's very scary thought entirely "As you say, I was one of the idiotic throng as who just has lacked faith in the late calamities and just as problems happening in our nation recently"
As the very Tsume began, "I just was foolish then and continued not realizing what's you and Sakura in the rests were trying to do as then it hit me as I started to navigate and as just started to study the very conversations and our current situation as then more than a week's has passed since his arrival and my people have been studying him and just has continued to watch over him and his action as he has proven time and time again that as well He is a trustworthy person He's has just helped many situations and local problems and even provided solutions other than that are people currently use violence upon and he has proven that he is a trustworthy very person and I wanted to apologize to you my goddess and the Empress that I was a fool to think that's we could deal with the situation as it has been stated and provence that none of us in his rooms has the knowledge or the firepower to deal with these people as even the very gojo households might know of this as they have gotten some glimpses up there weaponry and the levels status as if I'm not wrong " As he stated the truth as everyone's wanted to argue or even worsen kill him for it as they look towards the gojo family's and waited for them to respond or threaten him but what they were met with silence and an nodded by him alone and confirming theirs very worst nightmares as everyone's just in the room started to grasp and just wanted to leave and try to do something about it but it was then she's empress raised her hand and again silencing everyone " then what is your very point Tsume speak frankly I allow it" as Empress-sama just has ordered him and he's begins again As he just took a deep breath as everyone's started to calm down once again.
" Last few weeks he has shown progress and have helped farmers and even the guards as even maintaining our very businesses and a of all helped clear out monsters and bandits other dividuals that have shown using drugs I've been declined and he helped them move on trying to rehabilitation and help doctors and even treated different diseases that we have a country for hundreds of years just as couldn't find a solution for and not even our healing magics and blessings were properly used for it and it all took for him an outsider to see past all of our very mistakes and just as actually fix them up and as provide clean water and safer roots for trading and just as traveling now but I continued to watch him as he has grown in terms of respect and just helping the people around him and just has provided us all insights about so many thing that related towards violence over our very people's and Started to help any kind of way possible that I'm not even I could do to stop it My very family is in medical as healing for generation's and he has provided me and as to my family properly equipments and very much treatment towards sicknesses exactly never had knowledge about and helped us find a cure and that's has changed a lot and it's helping more than one person and he is hoping our very crops and businesses just in return he doesn't ask anything no reward as not even a single dine from them but He has one request and that is to help as how many people as we all can as He is no demons, my partners can attest that jaune is 100% more human Then anyone in this island and as he did not has been treated kindly by our very Lords for the last few months and I fear that if we're still arrogant to this very day and as refuse to help him in his quest's then we just might lose the only hope and we all have to achieving what this country and our people could become in the future and as we might lose trustworthy Ally and our brother in as our very hand now I wish to speak off now."
As The entire room just sat in silent and just started to realize everything that he is doing for the last one month and they all have just started to debate and understand that jaune has done more good than they could and the very people's of this nation as resent a them for theirs very elders a very decisions in the past and some of council just want to refuse to just acknowledge it's and gojo family Just started nodded toward's them and just then the empress herself started to smile towards him and started to stood up from her throne and once again as councilman started to just protest once again this very decisions as she raised her hand again calming them all that had once again shouted in protests her own authority's and the gojo clan look at them as with a glare as silence everyone's else in the very room 'Understood', " as very well Let us put this to a vote, as will everyone's in favor of this offer please everyone just raise theirs hand's ?" As she announce and hopefully as that thing's try not good for everyone's sake. As Sarutobi's hopes were dashed as nearby's the entire council just started to raised their hands, as smirking at theirs very victory has Each of them very much foolishly believed a that's they had once again done their part to punish that very outsider for modeling in as they're very private and economical affairs. And then again as the empress as wearing as very grim expression, as she sighed again as No matter how hard She tries or convince as her peoples are stubborn as a damn f****** mule never understanding as what's at stake here at all "I am sorry Tsume, inform you as you know and just see by yourself that your very offer are and the purview of the very a civilian portion of the council and their very viewpoint of your request is denied now." as then as the she felt shame just as once again threatened to stop her heart so as to end this dishonor but just however, Tsume as did not back down Not put a slightest as it's was just new for her "One question before as I accept this goddess-sama." she asked, "I know that's you yourself have no objections to this, and that's only the civilian council seems to have objected to this. My question is thus, as how exactly do you plans on stopping me now ?"
At that moment the first time in the Empress very life at someone has said something like this as she was wondering how did things as gone for a peacefully as conversation's from this as She doesn't understand what does he mean right now and the celebration's of the councilman just stopped suddenly and they collectively asked the only question as going through theirs very mind's. " Nani ?" As she Just look towards him as who had confused look on her faces and then now the only one smiling was tsume just as started elaborated Just to everyone in entire very room "I mean really ? Were you planning on attacking me when I go to collect him few days ago In the very marketplace ? Empress-sama, as surely you would never order your ANBU to attack a loyal council member as helping safeguard the knight of Far West who is protecting my region from bandit's and monsters by just as simply He's trying to trespass one place and then to another's safely" As then a he started gestured to the various leaders, "The various very honored clan-heads in just attendances agreed with me and when I stated he was no demon But a hero Are you the very Empress of very nation really just expecting me to be held hostage to collection of a fat merchants and very self-important bureaucrats ?" as he pointed to his very partners, as laying at his very feet's. "Regardless of any repercussions, as for my clan has already half live off of the very land and forest region As I just and as it would be considered many obstacles and as problems considering that most of the very bandit's and very monster's comes from the abandoned Territory that's connected to my region and Because It has been as remained unchecked and unattended for more than a few decades by now and problems only just increases as numerous monsters of different kind attack by regions civilians more a often and and my offer a would not have any kind of problems, and nor would my clan neither if I wasn't facing this very problems myself."
As he just Lookings once again toward's the very clans we're leader, as Tsume continued has with his very speech "If I may be so bold Empress-sama as the very clan's are known for being as the protectors and governor's of theirs respective civilians and as Territories and the protectors of our very kingdom and we are not only capable then but specializes in various forms and tasks that are given to each family since very much as dawn of this very kingdom and then some's of us are the very protectors of this very Kingdom and to its very people it doesn't matter who or and where they're from as they have become as the citizenship and the rights to live in very proud nation of ours that are ancestors built with you no less as the gojo family's are the advance guard against as the very as outside threats and make up as large portions of the Hunter-nin force's now If I'm not mistaken."
As he just smirked at the very councilman as the entire councilman understood as where he was taking it "Can the councilman really afford to just alienate us by acting on any of these threats? I refuse to let this behavior as not to welcome a good warrior and civilian of this very nation who's has been doing his job very much tirelessly from the very first moment He arrived here with his familia in this country and he has helped and benefits Very communities and even supporters the American communities for the last very one month that our people's and lord's refuse do for Many decades By now as It was theirs as very responsibility on the start and as I will not provide any kind of misjustice and just treatment towards him anymore as longer !"
As the very just as Smiling at the outranged expressions on Tsume's face and a the white face's of the now frightened councilman as understood that things are going to get bad or to worse at this point as as sarutobi stood. "Thank you Tsume-san for the impassioned plea as just Perhaps we should have another vote." As Then another's one set up from his very seat as he pointed toward's him and as the very gojo saw his arrogance again and it was time to show him his place now and has "Empress-sama do you allow this threats of his to just stand's now !!!!!! ?" As then one of the councilman shouted."I heard no threats Haruno-san, now sit down as the Member's of the very council, will all in oppositions to this adoption, please raise their hands ?" As Only a couple braves or as (stupid?) council of elders just raised theirs hand's."I thought so." About to dismiss the council, the very as the very Empress paused Feeling the need to make one last point, he spoke, "May I add, as an extension of earlier comment's, has that's any civilian that refuses to just service to as to rite aid our very Kingdom may feel free to pack up and leaves the kingdom as they are no longer wanted within it's very walls. As I will not have you alienating thoses that very much keep you safe." As Everyone stood and began to file out as Well they're pretty much shocked for what day of Steve this time now.
As Sarutobi just started sighed at seeing his old friend and as the gojo family's head was just walking towards him as he nodded just toward's one and another's and they just as Noticing that empress has not yet left, as he Started to makes his way toward's her as he turned to her with a questioning look " As Thank you for your guidance and speech as for now and Empress but I have one little bit of a question Why are you going such length for a strangers as he hasn't been here as that long as you basically favor and protect him more than anyone's You have over the years as I was curious of what relationship do you have with this person's as it might be-" as he was cut off as there was a sword on his neck as he looked towards and saw it was gojo as head himself " speak your next word's very much carefully " As informed him and the very Empress raised her hand and told him one thing " it's just better you should leave as you have not not just try to insult me but even questions me for something you have no idea We will discussion this matter in the next meeting until then not a word if I I am clear" As then he just started to nodded has now "I will just take my leave Empress and my Lord by sincere apology ." As he told her has bowing to his very goddess and empress before as hesy just started to exited the very council Chambers now and just as Knowing that her headache was about to get worse in the coming days as they might try do just as something else coming to bite her and she's just knows it but she just needs to wait now.
Sarutobi threw out propriety and turned to the remaining elders, "What do you have to discuss that cannot wait now ?" As they set to each other curiously now and her as very day Just got longer for some very unknown reason now and as She started to sight now.
CHANGE LOCATION
SOME TIME LATER
POV
After Sometime's as Bache had just stopped crying for a bit and then two of them as had conversation with one and with another for a little whiles longer as they both discussed about there's very hobbies and adventuring and there very own time in there homeland and as then jaune started to told her just as about his very brave adventures in remnant and as he's remembered his friends and his very family members It just brought back a small and beautiful smile and He does miss them all but he knows reality that jaune Arc has to grow up Sometime's and as accept the very truths it's times for him to just move on to another life that's he is creating again and it's doesn't matters anyways they won't miss him no one will miss him as and No one will ever just remember him For who he was has He was just NPC in their world as he doesn't knows how to fight how everything is going on the others side but he's just ready to just accept the truths that They might's have lost by now but He will still hope his friends are still here in this world and he's needs to find them and just provide them shelters as they mights have in a difficulty time adjusting in this world as he's getting the oppression for a bit but they're a big girls and as they're all just started to might manage around here as Jaune started to explain his adventures and his very stupid deeds as she's laughed at his very attempts add to his failures but it's was hilarious and how he and his team roam the continents as togetherness as just looking as for evil wrongs him and his very Kingdom's as How he lost his friends and loved ones at one point but he kept on explaining how his story went on and many others small minor of details at the same time just as well after a few moment later she realized something that The way he was explaining it's and she put two and two together that her husband and the father of there very child is a hero.
As At one's points she's was just so intrigued and just as fascinated by his very stories and then Bache was just excited about monsters as even different things he just has seen and heard and as he told her just made her has a littles more excited like an she was just child again and as when as she used to tell stories about heroic and as there's very grand much adventures with there party members and it was one that she likes to read her the most it was the story of Argonaut the first hero and the very clown hero himself as she just now started to remembers her very smile and as how she was doing at the time as Jaune was telling his very time's in the new city of very much Orario and answering any questions he could about now and then just in return As Bache told him some about her past and her struggles and trials that had led to her leveling up and eventually reaching level 6.
Before the two knew it, the sun was starting to setting and it was time for very Bache had her naps as she's had been having a rough a little bit of a day as she just feel so tired and jaune just noticing her stranger behavior as He started to realize what that very actually meant and that's he smiled for a bit and just wondered has what's would it's like to be an official father he's has an adopted daughter but having his own son's or daughters of his on blood Even if there's something's not left of him That might be concerning But he still wonders How did his very father felt having multiple kids of his own Maybe he just has a chance off just becoming one day and jaune just followed her back turned and started as to walk out toward's her room and with his eye's before looking up at the darkening sky, Stars as just slowly becoming visible as He's could see possible thanks to his night vision he's has gained over the year's and has a gift from one of his friend's from larden now as he gently looked at the stars as he can tell as the consolations how's would they reformed and everything's after the year's of studying as well and When he was bored He alway's sneak some books for the library and as just started to read about anything he could find as he spend some of his time like that just as reading and He was quite just surprised just talking to Bache had been..... everything about his very past and their very stories as Just shared together was refreshing moment Only having Erebus to truly confide in about his one side of the past had been draining as we'll enough but Don't get him wrong jaune was immensely grateful for Erebus support so far towards him and even his ungrateful nature and portraying side will be punished one day and he'll make sure that but just his sarcastic and very chaotic nature does as get on his's very nerves If he had some left and if he does he keeps them a secret from them as he might try to piss him off more often as that might be bad and he might actually kill him or accidentally harm him as some fish.
But then jaune started to remember and just started to Looking back and started to what she told him about her very past and jaune could just understand Bache's point of view on the entire moment and life and After her older sisters had perished, as she was just as had been devastated after that incident and just Not shortly after that's Kali had thrown her into the ring again and again as world of cruelty doesn't rest while she was still trying to just recovering from Basically everything as she was Not the only one who suffered as her sister basically became mentally ill and she started to throw herself into fights until making her of some's kind of uncontrollable beast in the ring and he had to make sure he holds back not accidentally killing them and now knowing their backstories just how did they both survive till now and he wondered He just wasn't the only one who suffered the very most at the hands of fate but as it was a miracle just somehow he just as managed to survive that very ordeal and as still standing here and then Jaune just remembered It was a miracle's that Bache had just survived and Just like him still standing after everything's and the only reason that she and he did was because they both just tried to bury herself underneath just a very shell of coldness and uncaring, but no matters how much you try. And just After the very caring part of you is just created or born it's will always be there, no matter just how's much you try suppress it Even after years I know as I did the same with myself over the very years no over the centuries of living as it was the only way to survive and he thrived the cause of it but he remembers the sacrifices He had to make as even the calls he had to make. people might call him heartless monsters but that land as wasn't for the likes of a saints only one shall live as it was give or take It's was hell but he still managed to survives and now he's here and it's good to know that's very others back people stories about there life and as that he can relate with them and as just what jaune had witnessed was that very woman who as now going to be the mother of their child as was that very hurt girl coming to the surface and just smashing through the walls slowly and steadily that as she had built over years because of guilt and desires for forgiveness off her own sin's but But deep down he just knows The only way to move on is to forgive yourself as well and as just promise to walk a good paths aheads of you that's he learned has over a the very year's his time in lodran.
As Jaune couldn't say no to that as just it was simply who's he was and a become after the fall of beacon as well He's just reminder him as a person's that who just held grudge's just as much He didn't want to do That's what he actually became just a monsters like the one he's was hunting It's ironic but it's the truths How far has he gone to gain's what he wants and what is it in the end nothing has It won't bring her back and it will only bring him as the very satisfaction that's he just murdered somebody's and made her suffer because of a person's who killed the person who's loved him But in reality he was an idiot as so what she loved him It wasn't like they were going to date anyway's considering her very owns shyness and her own problem's has the very invincibles girl or the goddess of victory has that's He remembers that very moment has She kissed him it just changed his mind and In other words it's just polluted And it's was from the main reasons of his very decision's that let him today here and he's just Always wondered as how life would have been with none of those incidents just happening with no fall of beacon and as the very kingdom's destruction What's would have happened if he lived with Pyrrha with his family but just deep down he's know's the dark truth about as such a reality just no No matter what just whatever jaune just thoughts it's just would have not happened as it wasn't matter of his very time that's one day Pyrrha would have as run away one day as just ended the same way and it because of destiny and....her very destiny she's would have not cared and just as loved him enough to stay He's know's the very truth none of Friend's did and They all wanted to be just like him a suicidal job that just might result into theirs very death's and He was a fool to think that way as jaune just started to understand what his parent's just meants and as they we're right and as jaune was wrong and He's just needs to admit it as he just needs to stop with this very much as just revenge arc thing just Trying to live like a man's just once again likes his parent's just as attendant it to be and forgiven her as she might be a very much a broken woman just like Bache That's forced her to become very much a monster that he just knows today as it's is true an No wonder is born evil They're just made into one just's in one time runs on very True villains hands as Well he will not let another one be corrupted again not on as his very watch and he's make sure to be the great husband and father to his family's and if he ever meets Cinder or neo again maybe he's should forgiven her and actually try to defeat just her not with vengeance's but has maybe just has something's a little different.
"As That might be the way" As Jaune thought as he just smiled slightly at the thoughts has just Even after all that's happened, between them and just how differently as he just acts sometimes around everyone as well he was undead for a long time at so what can he say and but he was still himself on the inside as A very testament to the truth of what he had come to the conclusion of as If a part of you that truly cares about others is created, and it just and doesn't matter how much you try to suppress it, or the very world does in the end.....That part of you it will just always remain dormant and One day you might as try to express your very feelings towards as a very special as someone's in the end again. As Jaune just opened his eyes, not realizing that's he had closed them in the first places only to see the sky completely darks and He should probably go to sleep now has it's has been a very long day as well and he needs as some kind of rest's as he was still astonished that he just still need sleep after everything really what's going on with his body ? As he thought and He's just was supposed to go to the very Sanjouno Estates in very day's after the very Empress prepares everything's that is required according to very Asuka lord's as it was still a littles concerning about a black hooded assassin's who attempted on her life as she could teleport away and make clones of herself as sounds like Blake if he's honest but she couldn't teleport away She can only clone herself temporarily just with her very much semblance as well What's if she's here then what Maybe as he should thinks in the morning instead it's already getting late and then He was about to get up before he heard footsteps just walking approaching towards him as Jaune then looked down at the house and saw Erebus started just walking up to as jaune in his new attire that was given by her and it was a kimono for men and but it was still black for him he loves it's that he still as desperately needed to change since his hair looks ridiculous with that suit he wear now.
"I see that's you and Bache are getting along now..." Erebus said as his head leaned to the side and with grin on his face and he toward jaune".What changed your mind ?" As Jaune just started to look at him for a bit and a just as much He's just wanted to debate and very much protest but he knows one thing what's the point " What do you mean " As Jaune has asked him and " You know just what I mean jaune Arc Why did you change your mind as why do you want to change entirely ?" As he look toward's his friend after a few minutes of silence as then he spoke "Well.....The truth is.....I just realized that.....I have been going around being a hero and everything's in the wrong way and I cannot just say.....I am a victim and I have suffered but...So did she and Manys like her and they push them and turning them into bad people's that just they all never want or asked to be one first place and I'm gone old and I'm not really a fan for holding grudges, and that she isn't as bad as I thought" jaune responded, smiling slightly has Erebus just started to just sat downs on the very and he understands what's he's was referencing " tell you the jaune as that's very a relief to hear just now and as realized that not everyone's had the same paths as you as some just had worser paths while some had easy paths and just some has had dangerous past that's was only lay down from other's a very much that available for them only and I don't like it more than you but you can't as change it but you can only embrace it and it One of the many lessons I learned as when I first arrived here and plus I don't...think I could sit through and survive against just as another rant from Adrienne just about how you just two should just reconcile and make just more baby's at this...points !!" As Erebus just started to groaned and just making sure jaune and Erebus just started to laugh for as a bit now Erebus sighed has Jaune looked at him with a smile, sighing into the very air.
As then both of them just looked....just at the very night descending sky's as Jaune just has started to remember's about his past's story that he can tell to Erebus and then " tell you the truth jaune I just never in my life would be thinking that I might be sitting here with you and talk with you I don't mean in a very offensive...way" As Jaune just waved him off and the " none taken" As Erebus just started to look at him and as smile towards him and he just continued speaking " I know but....I was trying to is that...I... what if my old very friends just seen and...If Alfia and Zald could see me now.....I can just already guess hear her scold me...right about.....now " As Erebus Just laughed a bit as it's brings back old and very unsettling memories then he started to frown a bit at the very memories and how's all of his friends stories ended as Jaune was more intrigued and curious about that name as he's has heard him say that's names more than once by now Questions filled his mind as he's pondered over the name's Maybe it's today that he finally asks him about his past as it's only fair compared as to him Erebus a little bit understood something as he looked toward's his new friend and comrade Jaune has was Looking toward's him with curious eye's and who was was this Alfia and Zald as a person and And are the one some one that attacked Orario with him All those years ago and what's their story " I have noticed.....you are being curious jaune And yes...they were my friend's and Allie's as just together as we all just attacked.... the very labyrinth city of heroes and adventurer's we attacked Orario All those years ago and Yes that I'm not gay " Erebus responded as Jaune just blinked and He understood the other's but.....where done the last one come from " I....didn't ask your sexual preference....at all" As Jaune Just looked at him as he's had no comment at all As Erebus just looked at him as he's saw the blankness on his face starting to well roll his very eye's at him " jaune I'm.... just kidding now buddy You need to get so serious" As he Told him and then jaune answer back "Then you're gay" As Jaune just told him as did his friends just admitted that he's gay as this the first times he's making meeting a gay God as this going to be hilariously as Erebus started just looked at him blank as Jaune as kept on staring at each other's as then Erebus Just as started widen his eyes in face of horror and realization what he just said and done and " What no no no no no that's not... what I was trying to say..... I...I was saying " You're.. gay It's okay Erebus...I'll accept you that actually explains a lot the way you dress and....how you basically look after my butt all the time or always checking out my back but tell you the truth I'm flattered Erebus But...I have a wife And I'd rather prefer a a vagina over as someone trying to penetrating my butt now It's okay you mig-" As Jaune was cut off " I'M NOT admitting I'M A GAY that All !! "As he Trying to explain him but this conversations just kept on happening for the last three has more hour's straight as this is the revenge of the ARC and he's is enjoying it every bit of it Take that b**** for what you just did earlier now "HAHAHA HA "As Jaune just thought at that moment now. Jaune and Erebus looked down thinking about What's happened in a few minutes ago and Both of theirs eyes just closed for a moment as they were done with each other's before they brush into laughter.
As then After the laughing stopped just they both just closed there's very eye's before he opened them with determination. He had to know. "Who was she ?" He just asked him as it's just made Erebus turn toward's him for a moment and then started to smile at him as it was still Good to know about his friend as he is a good person even after everything as he endured till now "She's was probably the most collected and strict woman I have ever known, and has even among the gods which says something's about her and She's used to be part of the Hera Familia before they were annihilated by the very black dragon " As he explain to him about the entire three quests off the world that just two of the as greatest monster's the world have as just known just as one of them were just defeated by her has later it was sealed away to closed the others entrances of the dungeon that's was opened and the then very the monster known as the Leviathan was inhabiting thoses waters and it terrified the locals just with as her familia and it's very rivalry came together and just as stopped it's and then the other's one came in the behemoth as it was Zald the member of the Zeus familia and my other friend who actually took it out but after everything Just during their fights both of them gained just some kind of sickness from thoses creatures and as they we're basically one of the many strongest around as Jaune just took in every word as Erebus seemed to be taking as a trip down memory lane now "I met her around 9 years ago and just alongside with Zald. Only them and fee more people just survived that very devastating battle against the One eyed black dragons and then the third leaving for the very empire I, during that times, looked around the world exploring it and...trying to understand it the further I....went the more I understood that's the world was broken and it was a desperate need of someone saving it So therefore I just wanted to brings Chaos to Orario just to bring forth a just an new ages of hero's from different kinds out there just banning together to fight against the greater evil that pollutes their world and that's very drive that would be become as the very keys to humanity's and many other species's just around them as well sharpen their skills for their very survival just during the promised time...I will bring seems like I was wrong though" Erebus had began, before muttering the final part just as looking at jaune before continuing again"....So I asked Alfia and Zald for help in my very mission but then what's just Surprise me was that two of them were quicker to accept than I had thought" As he told him as he Just stop for a moment there
But then apparently after a very much brief conversation betweens them and they both as wanted the very same thing in the end as it's was to bring forth a new age of heroes to fight and then defeat the dragon that had so mercilessly as annihilated their familias" As Jaune started to grimanched at the mention of how such strong people were defeated so easily " As so I spent 2 years with them and preparing for the day that we would arrive in Orario. It was during this time that I just have learnt about there's story's and family and remaining friends after everything and then I still to this day believe she wanted to go to her very nephew, and raise him and it was her very grief, and guilt and regret for Meteria's death and her husband actions as later finding out what he did just caused her to see herself unworthy for such a task now" As Jaune's eyes widened, hearts clenched at the fact he was the only one who has just as suffered by the hand's of fate and she's just sounds like his friends and family stories in there's very life and really Erebus was right about one things as He would have loved to have met her and maybe help her out and it might be worth conversation now but it just next second later his minds latched onto the second names he just mentioned now Jaune just started to wonder out loud "Meteria? Is that...her sister?" Jaune dared ask as him as it Erebus nodded before just staring at jaune hard " yes She was her twin She's was young as her child was lucky you know he did not inherit any of their both diseases " That very caught jaune's very attentions as " Just what of disease Are we talking about now?" Jaune asked as Erebus just sighed now. "Both Alfia and Meteria we're stricken by a hereditarily diseases that's weakens them greatly If Alfia hadn't been stricken by it and Orario would just never have beens able to defeat her" As That sent alarms to jaune through his head. Was she that's strong ? As Jaune just wanted to ask but sudden Erebus just did it for him.
"After all her magic made her a untouchable figure in history and just In fact, it's was just that very unique and rare it still not similar to your magic but as It's an ultra short chant magic that's can make her very magic just as explode, basically making her untouchable. It's name was 'Satanas Verion' and it's chant was simply, 'Gospel'" As Jaune just thoughts about it now as it just sounds a little familiar as If her magic activated her own magic and sent it out and she could make it explode... that would be unstoppable if used correctly. "That wasn't all...that she could do and She's wasn't called the very incarnation of talents because of that. She was called that because of her ability to copy and it technique upon only seeing it once and It's was just honestly very frightening now " As it send just chills down his very spine when he mentioned it's as remembers last time seeing it It wasn't so pretty if he pictures just and did now Jaune just started to think about something and it was that she was basically a strong woman but her own sickness put her down If she's had the items he's has if He's could have met her he just might have changed her fate and generally helped her and She's sounds very much strong and apparently very powerful, had an ultra short chant magic and was part of Hera familia. She didn't want to raise her very nephew because she was.....ashamed of herself ok It sounds quite familiar? As Jaune just thinks about it as he has heard the story before and letting as the informational settle in his mind and who is stronger his magic or her magic as she might be strong as him but he's alway's holding back if she's wasn't sick as they might have met in another world in another time things might have be different and maybe they might even be friends as he has seen many of her type his sister's and as one of his friend's are living example as so is his teacher He thinks about it " I think that's enough for one day and It's a lot to takes in. And just Take your times Jaune and We can continue this in the morning as I want to tell you about zald next as the most humiliating time and their stupidity moments later " As he explains to him as Jaune Arc just started to just sweat dropped as jaune nodded as he put his face in his hand as he was Just asked questioning himself at this point and it's was might be someone else by now They might's be sad or start crying by now as Erebus just left and just went inside to his room leaving jaune's outside to the very night sky, and the very moon shine bright as he looked around his surroundings afterwards just coming to terms with what he had learnt just now that very spell is quite familiar and aa He knews about what Alfia did as when he was just as working back in the city with his goddess as she even explain to him everything that just happened and the history of that terrible as time were many great people's died and just when many people's lost their families and even children in this points just in time and She just had an incurable disease alongside her twin sister ? That's both were dead...and that they left their child all alone....he would never meet them...as it just bad to hear it.
As Jaune just started to looked up as into the very beautiful night sky and just wondered one thing what if He done if he was in there very shoe's and just He might have done the very same thing if he's asking himself just as honesty as they were just like him broken as they had nothing left and they both wanted to save the very world even by doing just as something It's horrifying but if here have as met them How would the conversation Just what just gone and How would they react as one another and he just wondered what can he do Maybe he's too hard on himself as he's shouldn't overthink about that it's done and he better look forward for the future and it was there very decision they were all grown ups compared to him he had no choice to go through everything and that kingdom of the dead fight different monstrous as to protect but there was nothing's left to protect and it was more like he's was putting everyone's to rest as just asking himself just why his eye's just wouldn't cry anymore or feel sad maybe it's because for what he has done and what he has truly become a heartless person and tell you the truths It's doesn't affect him for not one bit but He's just disappointed what they had to do and how it all ended and it's just sad as he's looked at the beautiful skies again and just wondered how is his friends coping up arounds here as he's never did in his life expected to be here he still thinks it's just a dream But this view tells otherwise as if change never came he's just would still be sitting on that very throne waiting to die as maybe there's is an afterlife but as he hasn't found it's Just yet and he's hope's all of those sacrifice's meant something's in the end for everyone's and He's must try his best to fight and try to protect this world and if it means staying here forever as this world needs him as his own original in the past as he's looked past and saw the very city now and he's just wanted to help them maybe he should start here He should make some changes help the locals and maybe help everyone in the end.
