Chapter 91 a monster of your convenience

While the moment was touching as it was borderline sweet has honey… a moment of realization it came flooding in, Lieg pauses petting Ulia on her head has only a single thought came to his head which he had completely skipped pass.

"Ulia" he called to her under his breath,

"Yes my liege" Ulia purred in a cat like tone unbeknownst to her his mood had completely changed while holding his hands firmly on her head, as she was too engross enjoying the opportunity of him showing affection.

A forced smile appeared on Lieg's face "I remember distinctly telling you to stay by the Chief's Carriage House, they should be having a detailed discussion of what to do next and I needed a proxy", Ulia lightly purrs rubbing her head against his hand like a domesticated tiger as she replied,

"Ahemmm honestly, do you take me for a fool and that is what I've done… I realize what you were trying to do".

"Really now" Lieg's forehead had a single vein pop up "It's simple really we'll Join the conversation to see if there were any remaining hidden spy that did not go with the others or anyone that might have another secret agenda not to go to the forest, based on everything that's being discussed right now they're still not having a settle conclusion… for their arguments on wanting us as a long term protection, I think our voice should be heard on the matter as well."

Speaking in a manner that if you weren't near her at that moment you would assume to be so profound with wisdom.

"Okay... so you've pretty much understand why I left you as a proxy, now here's the thing with you being here who exactly would be our 'Voice' in such meeting?" Lieg asked,

"Humph! really did you think I would really mess up like that, while I did allow my emotions take over me to come here in the first place obviously I would have had a back-up plan and I left a speaker for us" Ulia proclaimed proudly but then paused as she has well came to the same sudden realization.

All of a sudden both their hands started to shiver as Lieg's gentle petting shifted into a vice-like grip on her skull, and Ulia lightly purring shifted into a painful screech as she try's to use both her hands to loosen his death grip on her head.

(Sfx Cracking)

"Really now... and who might that VOICE BE?" Lieg asked continuing to squeeze even harder, to the point where cracking noise could be heard "Keeekkk!" Ulia exclaimed.

As we look over into the main Carriage are all the village elders and the Village Chief were struck in a big debate on what to do next, while Ulia 'Proxy' the only person here to voice Lieg's opinion the only person there who can get him out of a long-term commitment with helping them so they can go on they're merry way after leaving them at the forest. Just so happens to be the only person in their group, that cannot talk to any human without causing them mental fatigue and physical frostbites just from the words leaving her mouth especially in a closed space like I don't know a carriage. All the elder villagers who remain silent throughout the entire incident of the village being raided now was able to voice their opinions in a private setting.

"All I'm saying is that we should be grateful for their help, so when they leave we need to go back to fending for ourselves like we've always have",

"But won't that leave us to be left to be slaughtered by the church",

"And I'm telling you why do they have to leave, Tetso you've managed to keep them in the village for over 3 months surely you could persuade him to stay with us even longer if not forever",

"I heard he likes female and he's an alchemist surely we can bribe him with our village women and a rare metals from the forest",

"You wretched cowards you don't know anything about him yet you mean to give up whole heartedly the security of our villagers up in the hands of a man that could stand against a monster like the church",

"Only a bigger monster can take on a monster, I'll be damned if all I do sit back and watch us be save from one monsters only to be devoured by another",

"That's not what I meant obviously he is taking a liking to our people if we can keep his eye on our side, giving him what he wants and allowing him to be happy we won't have to watch our backs from the church just allow him to take the full Brunt",

"That's right we can just blame him, he was able to kill a general of Beretta so easily obviously we had no choice but to follow his orders",

"You all disgust me, you would spin the story that much to save your old ass",

Has Rizetta sat down across the room sipping on a coral coconuts she got from a Coralpalm tree near the Oasis.

"…"

Having so much to say but neither her face nor her lips had any intention of protesting such. Why was she is able to have a normal conversation with well normal in her regards or to her standards with both the princess and Lieg while just a single muttered from her in an angered state would end this whole Discussion. She knew it would not only end with no clear conclusion but bone-chilling fear proving some of the fearful villagers right.

"Well aren't you guys all a bunch of sly decrepit little weasel" Lieg commented, appearing out of the sight of everyone in the room leg's crossed resting his chin in his right hand. Everyone turning around towards him all at the time, only to see him yawning out covering his mouth barely with his left hand "Yo!" waving his left hand to them.

"You!" one of the elder exclaimed but was immediately shush upon Lieg left have signaling everyone to settle down, "So I'm somewhat stuck between your hero, or a monster of your convenience?".
