Author's Note: The title of this chapter is an extension of the first chapter's title.

_________________________________________

Eris Darkbringer, the  Ruler of Vampires and the queen of the Vampire and Devil Nation is in the bed together with the maid that she postponed sleeping with because of the farce about Leviathan and Lucifer.

Her fingers and tongue touched and licked all the nook and cranny of the maid's body until the maid was exhausted and fainted in her embrace, at that moment, a dazzling, magnificent and majestic forest green light pierced the sky and conquered the heavens.

Eris smile a wry and relieved one while she laid down the maid who have all of her clothes all over the room who is already passed out from a whole three hours of non-stop "fun adventures" with her queen.

_If only the maids have stamina as Guinevere or Arachne, then we can go all day all night without rest. _

She thought of that, but discarded it away immediately, she might have a sexual preference that is a little different to other ladies and a libido that is a little, or... Let's just say considerably higher compared normal people, she is still the leader of her race and the leader of her Kingdom, how can she be distracted by the ahegao (1) face of pleasure of the still heavily panting maid in her bed?

Even though a little bit dissatisfied because the maid immediately fainted in a few hours of love making, she immediately went from her dominating face into her haughty and calculating one, she fixed her slouching figure, stuck out her chest and straightened her back. If one is to see her, one would think if their is a person in the world who can look so honorable even without clothes.

Eris immediately paid more attention in the green beacon that suddenly emerged from the sky in the direction of the Forest of her close friend, in short the forest of Idun.

She heave a sigh of relief, her haughty face disappeared for a moment and revealed a motherly smile before going right back into her dignified look, this  light just means that her brother succeeded in rescuing her wife and Idun at the same time, she is worried about her brother and her friend, after all, Eris is someone who is alone for hundreds of years, so her being worried is not really strange.

She didn't worried about her brother in a grave situation because Idun have a good amount of tricks that let's her become known as the planet's greatest enchantress, and seeing her ever so annoying beacon means that she immediately recovered from her poison riddled body.

Eris looked at the majestic green line of light, honestly she can only call it majestic because she didn't saw it from more than two hundred years, the light was  actually annoying for her because she will see it too often in a week. So the majestic light became an irritating eyesore for her and only now that her friend came back that she realized how much she missed being constantly blinded by that light.

However, her face suddenly turned a little lighter as a grin appeared on her face, seriousness and a drop of excitement is evident on her heterochromatic eyes. She averted her gaze from the Forest of Idun and walked slowly in the window of her room that is facing the former great human Kingdom, Camelot as her grin disappeared and a face that shows a cold and calculating queen is visible.

She looked at the direction of the Kingdom and heaved a sigh. This move of his brother that ignored the rules of the Rulers means the abolishment of the rule of Non-interference, that rule who is like a wall of mud trying to fend of a siege or a gate made of straws trying to block a wooden ram, yet also a shackle that binded them in place like how Hydra was pinned down by a mountain. Rendering them motionless and unable to continue the war that they never finished even though being clear and completely aware of how stupid of an agreement the Non-interference rule is.

That rubbish of a rule that made the Seven Rulers collect dust in their seat finally, though not still officially disappeared out of its laughable and irritating existence.

Eris knew that all the ruler's eyes are also in the annoying light, some are happy for a cheerful person will once again smile and will suffer no more, some are angry because Loki once again find an ally, actually no, two of them, that are not to be underestimated, and some are neutral, but cautious of what may the Malevolent King of the Devils might have in his sleeves.

Either way, she knew that none of them will stay still and just let themselves rot in place in their goddamn territory, Eris can only expect dragons flying around or a hoard of angels descending from the sky like how Loki gathered the two most dangerous entities even for the Seven Rulers, namely, Guinevere and Arachne and took them as his wives.

And though no one still knows of her existence, Loki also have a wife that is temporarily in Camelot, Alice, or Alice Darkbringer,  that is, on a certain extent can reach the threshold of cunningness of her spouse. Currently sweeping the underworld of Camelot while looking forward when will Loki and her will meet once more.

In short, Valentine have a lot of firepower not even considering the subordinates of Eris and Loki.

However, that doesn't mean that the Rulers doesn't have anything similar to them, its not like Valentine is actually that unique in the standards of the Seven Rulers. Well they are unique in the aspect of having two Rulers ruling a single chunk of land and still not causing fight amongst themselves for generations.

The only edge of Eris' country is that, a person who is just a step closer for being the embodiment of invincibility called Guinevere was in their place, but even then, she cannot protect the Kingdom all the time, because after all, no matter how strong she is, she is just a human, though an immortal one.

Even for Guinevere, that is still too much because her power is for destruction and cannot be used in an area with civilians and have to be used in an inhabitated place devoid of any humanoid life in order not for her to accidentally destroy a whole civilization.

So, what will happen if some idiot brain ruler used a monster that can dig itself into the ground and suddenly appeared in the middle of the city? Will Guinevere use her power to defeat the monster? No, because she knows that the expense of using her power is greater than the reward of  defeating a monster.

That's why Eris discarded the idea idea of  using Guinevere as a long term shield, furthermore she cannot use her sister in law as a fucking shield, that would be a disrespect to Eris'  little brother and to Guinevere's older brother.

At most, Guinevere can only fight Eris' mother, the only person that can go and bail out power and strenght at the same level as the living abomination in the face of a sexy milf.

Eris immediately erased the last part of the thoughts she have about her in-law, Loki will kill her if he heard of this after all.

Eris immediately made simulations of what will happen after this, a meeting between the Seven Rulers to officially destroy the Non-interference rule? Or an outright fight for dominance and supremacy between all the remaining races? She sternly believed for the case  to be the former considering the variables like allies among other things, but there is still a lingering chance of a war between the races may happen again. So she never lower her guard down.

She just kept looking at the horizon of Arthur's former Kingdom as a small mutter escaped her mouth.

"I need to "capture" her."

She then once again looked at the maid who already  recovered from exhaustion and immediately pounced at her once again. And thus the loud and sweet moans of the maid calmed the raging thoughts of Eris as she once again muttered in her mind.

_Though I will start preparing just when after my brother comes back._

At this moment, as Eris is enjoying the music like moaning sounds and cute quivers of her maid in the bed, the other Rulers are also enjoying the sight of the beacon, or atleast most of them. Lucifer and Selaphiel have frown on their faces, though because of two completely different reasons, the two brother and sister tandem of two different yet once the same races have the same feeling in their hearts, but have a reason of discontent for having plans delayed and worry about the future of the angels and humans respectively.

Though they have a worse frown about how did Idun recovered from a poison that can kill a gargantuan monster with a drop just the moment the poison got extracted, or because the poison was delivered by a curse, the moment the poison disappeared from her body.

Seven Rulers are individuals secretive in nature, they are people who have many veils after veils and fogs after fogs of mystery surrounding their very existence.  They have secrets that only they themselves knows, that even their closest confidant cannot learn and anyone who managed to even sniff a little clue about the truth of that mystery will perish by their hands.

That's why, the Rulers immediately went out of their trance, no need thinking about it because there is no need to end Idun as of now, what the Rulers did, instead, they  immediately started to use their freedom.

Of course they knew their limits, after all their race is still in the line even though their chains is already broken, that's why they took a little bit of a moderate approach. For now, they just have to be able to monitor their counterparts in six different territories, nothing else nothing more.

No need to rush, for they are already all clear that this day is the resume of the war that never reached its conclusion, of course they also know that it is still too early to start fighting, they first have to pull any ruler they can pull to their side and collect subordinates that can be a useful tools for their cause.

In the next few weeks, or perhaps months. Dragons will be seen fluttering their wings all over the world, a Country ruled by a Ruler will reinforce its military while a whole new one will nail itself at the back of Valentine and ambitious individuals not part of them will start to wreak  havoc that will cause a huge discord in the weak masses.

However they cannot do anything about it, after all, they are just weak prey and it was a blessing that the strong didn't decided in a while to end their lives that they can do so with a flick of their fingers. In this world that have the law of the jungle, strong eats weak, the words and actions of the strong is absolute.

And the weak cannot do anything but cower in fear and be swept by the waves the power of the strong can make.
