Deal

"I have a proposition. I want you to give me that treasure you have, a disorder leaf that the mother tree rarely releases from its tree."

A creature said inside a carriage in front of two beautiful maidens. The two maiden's skins are black, had a slender body hidden in a coat, light red eyes, and a long sharp ear.

"What do you mean!?"

One of the elven girls that was currently sitting asked. She is emitting a strange aura. Leaf dangling on her shoulder like blades ready to attack.

"Are you an enemy?"

She asked the creature in front of her who's sitting in front of them calmly.

It is the vampiric shadow that Remy is currently controlling right now.

Remy is not surprised, even though it is known that trolls, werewolves, elves, dragons, and orcs are known not to possess an aura of disorder but because life finds its way, this girl and the other one is now emitting a force similar to it.

"I need it for someone to enter the Royal copper disorder user. As you can see, I am a secret protector of the young master."

Remy stated he needed it to enter the realm fast to overpower the incoming threats.

"Why do we give them to you? We are grateful that you let us ride with you in your caravan. But the deal you are offering is out of bounds."

The elven woman replied with a hint of tension in her voice, thinking,

'We are in a bad situation right now. We tried to hide it with their concealing inside the known young master with a bad reputation. But we were caught by the protector of the caravan itself. Is this their trap?

'Knowing that the caravan had a copper disorder knight and this mysterious order user. I am sure that even if we try to run away, we would get caught.

'Who is the mysterious royal? Could it be the young master itself? Impossible. We've been monitoring everyone for the past few days especially with the young master who is collecting deceased body, but we never sensed an ordering power of him.

'We also checked the inside of his carriage. Could it be that the mysterious expert is hiding his presence with him? But if he does, does it mean that we were found out but this mysterious expert is only letting us because he needed the leaf?

'No! We can't give them the leaf. This is our only chance to have an order user in our race! We will make a move even if they try to kill us. I would sacrifice myself and let Melli leave with the order leaf.

'I am sure that they would target me for its obvious to that I am much higher ranking in our village and I am also near to reaching a true order user. But compared to a true order user I am still lacking.'

"People are coming to hunt you down because of your leaf. And a lot of them. Your leaf is a way for them to reach a Copper user and surpass a tenth level bronze disorder user."

The expression of the girl changed. She stared at the being in front of her and ask,

"How is that possible?"

'We've been hiding carefully and I am sure that there's not a single one who knew it all.' she thought.

The creature smiled creepily at her and says,

"It was sent by the empire itself. As an order user or near it, you know how powerful this small kingdom is, right?"

The dark elf's facial expression changed thoroughly as she felt like her days were over.

'Humans cruelty, they chose me as a target to strengthen their younger generation. They knew it all. All our preparations, our concealment, and our effort will all be wasted.'

She realized, as she knew, they will become a stepping stone for the empire's new generation of disorder users.

"However, I have a solution."

Remy's vampiric creature summons said. But the face of the girl didn't change as she looks at it.

"If you give me that leaf, I will make five of your clansmen into an order user. I will also save you from your doom as I'll take care of it." The creature proposed.

Still, there's nothing changed on the dark elf.

"How can we trust you?"

She said, while her face is still devoid of expression but hopelessness. Suddenly, her hopeless looks transformed into a deep shock as the creature took out something.

"Are you serious?!"

The one that the creature took is a crest,

"This is the crest of the Belmont family. You know what this crest represents, right?"

The creature said. The dark elder nodded,

'The family crest, once offered by the crest. The chosen woman will become the wife of the owner of the crest in the family. Once married, the tribe of elves, orcs or other race that is offered will become a part of that family, too.

'Discriminating off of humans to none humans disappear. Because they will become a part of the family, the only backside of this is that the offspring with elven or other race blood wouldn't inherit the royal blood family they are with.

'But it's already a good thing for humans are rulers the ruler of the continent, majority of them can become an order user using disorder aura power.

'It is said that it is an offense to refuse an offer. The whole tribe would be annihilated, but if one accepts, one will become a part of that family.

'Can I accept this? I don't want to become a servant. I don't want my tribe to be enslaved by their family. But this is the only way to survive, and I know I will get killed.

'What should I do?'

"You don't have to worry, the young master only wants the leaf and your tribe can use this. There's no enslaving that will happen. But remember, this is only used as a warning. The family won't help."

The creature said, clicking his thumb on his boney arm.

"Then what about my tribe? What about us? It is our chance to have a disorder user, we can't just give our chance like that!"

She lamented it's really hard to become and disorder aura user. Especially not humans, only four percent of the population of another race like them that a disorder user will appear and this is one of them.

"Ah,"

The creature said softly and then put his sharp finger on his bony chin.

"That would be easy. As long as you take an oath to keep it a secret for yourself, take an oath everything that you will witness should only stay here."

The creature smiled, with its eyes having an expression of delight that look terrifying.

'What is this creature saying, a secret? What is that?' she thought.

"What do you mean by that?" She asked in a very polite tone despite being confused.
