Modern Warfare (1)

She curled in bed, thinking. Eliza gave up knocking a while ago and left. They were all instructed by the emperor to not disturb her. Eventually, her thoughts got tiring and she left her room. She resolved to not unlock the stone and develop the weapons. That was her only viable option. She needed Irilium's help. He was a genius after all. She asked where to find him.

A knock was heard on the door and it swung open. She poked her head open and invited herself in when the room seemed to be empty. It was a huge bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. She hoped she would seem him there but it wasn't the case. Sighing, she turned to leave.

The door slammed shut and she was pressed against it. A shirtless Irilium had his hands on opposite sides of her head, trapping her between him and the door.

"My my, what is the beloved werewolf princess looking for in my room? Have you come to seduce me?"

"w..w...w..why would you say that? I only came to ask for your help?"

"To seduce someone else?"

"No! Of course not"

"Well, now I've confirmed you don't have a lover. I'm sorry about this. I always wanted to try it. I'll go put on a shirt now"

"O..O...Okay"

She left the room and waited for him to dress up. He came out with a new outfit and a smile.

"Hope I didn't make you wait for long?"

"No"

"So, what do you need my help for?"

"I want to make modern weapons of warfare and I need your help"

"You want to make weapons of mass destruction. Is that really a good idea?"

"If you think about it, unlocking the moonstone is a better choice than providing them with weapons that could potentially destroy their future"

She sighed. He was right.

"Then, how do I save my people?"

"Your people? So, you've accepted them already" Irilium noted with a smile. He stretched out his hand for her to accept.

"Walk with me, Olivia"

"Alright" she took his hand and together they walked. He asked her to lead him to the royal scientist. They walked in silence, unaware of the gawking servants watching them at every corner.

They soon reached their destination. The place had a huge door like everywhere else and a stench caught their noses. Irilium suddenly swooped her into his arms and jumped backward. An explosion went off, destroying the door and scattering splinters everywhere. Irilium sheltered her with his body until the danger was gone.

Two young werewolves, a male and a female came out of the room, coughing. A tall male vampire came out with them, looking unbothered. He was the only one uninjured from what had just occurred. However, when he saw Irilium, stars appeared in his eyes and his cool factor immediately faded away.

"Your highness" he picked up Irilium and splattered his face with kisses. Irilium was back in chibi form, trying to fight off the Vampire to no avail. The two werewolves picked Olivia off the floor and apologized profusely for what had just occurred. She waved them off, more interested in what was going on with Irilium.

"Chronos, cut it off"

"I can't help it, your highness, you're just so cute"

"You're embarrassing me! Rie! Ayi!"

"Yes your highness" the two of them replied, arriving at the same time.

"Get this oaf off me"

"Alright"

After a long fight, the crown prince was finally released, leaving the tall vampire a crying mess. Olivia looked at this scene again and laughed.
