Said Morgana.
Okay reply Queen Harlow. She walk into the elevator and press the button and she watch the door closing then she feel the elevator moving upwards a minute later she was on the sixth floor. As soon as the door opens there was a bell. Queen Harlow step out of the elevator and was met by Scarlett.
Queen Harlow I was send to escorted you to my master said Scarlett as she bowed.
As they walk Queen Harlow notice that Scarlett was wearing a slave collar.
Question for you Scarlett said Queen Harlow. Why do you have a slave collar on? I thought that slavery was illegal in the kingdom of freedom.
It is reply Scarlett the only exceptions are the for the following for criminals ,slaves bought by the crowned stay slaves until they pay back the crown for their cost or do 7 years of service to the crown which ever happeneds sooner, or one of the slaves that do not want to be free.
Do not want to be free why not asked queen Harlow?
Because ether they know nothing but being a slave or that find it easier that being free reply Scarlett.
Which one are you ask queen Harlow?
I was a criminal. I was a lieutenant in the black daggers out of my group I was the only one that lived and that was bearly. Reply Scarlett my master almost killed me.
Is he that horrible? Asked queen Harlow.
He can be my punishment was to get multiple piercings and become his sex slave reply Scarlett.
What where your crimes? Asked queen Harlow.
Have you not heard of what the black daggers do? asked Scarlett.
Yes reply queen Harlow I have heard horrible things. They rob, destroy, rape ,kill, enslave, and torture and many more things.
Correct reply Scarlett and we crossed lines that should never be crossed so my group was kill since I was the leader and a woman master keep me alive to suffer the same things the woman we captures when though.
Queen Harlow realized why that means and look at Scarlett and now understand all the piercings now.
Once they go to a big door Scarlett knock and they heard a voice said to entered.
Scarlett and Queen Harlow walk in. Queen Harlow seen Colt standing at a map of the continent it was not an ordinary map but a magic map that shows Colts troop movements and information on each kingdom.
Master I have brought Queen Harlow to you as ordered said Scarlett.
Good you are dismissed Scarlett said Colt.
Yes master reply Scarlett as she bow and walk way as soon as she left Colt began talking.
So the death swamp who owns it?
My kingdom holds about half of it and the rest is unclaimed land not claim by anyone.
Good reply Colt how about ruins?
What ones are you talking about? ask Queen Harlow. The death swamp is full of ruins and the death. You need to be more specific.
The ruins here Colt pointed to the map. Queen Harlow eyes widen that is impossible she said.
What you mean impossible asked Colt.
There a legend that there was a kingdom in the death swamp about 500 years ago said Queen Harlow. The kingdom was founded 100 years after the fae realm disappeared. They last about 300 and then all of a sudden they disappeared. Our records showed we send troops but the troops never returned. Them the king of that time when and found the missing troops they where all undead and the witch that accompanied the king determined there was a curse on the lands that turns anything that die on the land to become an undead.
So that the lost city said Colt.
I believe so reply Queen Harlow it would make sense.
And the villages ? Ask Colt.
I am not sure if there people more then likely they are outlaws and rogues but I can not swear to that been I do not know for sure reply Queen Harlow.
So queen Harlow I have a proposal Colt said as he handed her a paper.
The papers where a defense pact, a trade agreement and a bill.
The defense pact and trade agreement was in return of the death swamp.
But the bill was for the bandit elimination the bill stated that the kingdom of freedom will change the Eagalon Kingdom 1 silver coin for every bandit they killed. Per the agreement the Eagalon Kingdom can ether pay all at once or over 50 years in payments.
Are you serious about this? Asked queen Harlow.
Yes reply Colt. If I would not then every kingdom or empire that have a bandit problem would try to make alliance with my kingdom.
I understand the reason but that is low most kingdoms charge a gold coin reply Queen Harlow.
I know but it still something reply Colt.
So when will you able to send help? Ask Queen Harlow.
Immediately reply Colt I have 7 necropolis that can be launched with 20,000 undead a piece. All you need to do is sign the paperwork.
Okay Queen Harlow sign all the copys of paperwork and handed it to Colt.
Colt then have 10 skeleton ravens delivered the alliance and trade agreement to the neighboring kingdoms, the assemble of kings and the united neutral alliance. Colt also send a copy to the Eagalon Kingdom.
Is there any thing else you need to speak to me about? Ask Colt.
No reply Queen Harlow I will return to Eagalon immediately and make sure my troops do not interfere with your troops king Colt. And thank you for helping me I have try other kingdoms but they refuse to help me.
I know why reply Colt.
Why what? Asked queen Harlow.
Why they will not help. Reply Colt it is because they have an agreement between them that once your kingdom is broken and destroyed they will split it among them.
Queen Harlow blood ran cold she suspected that but now hearing it from someone else she know she not going crazy.
Just then Scarlett came in to the room.
I will have have Scarlett escorted down to the throne room. Afew minutes later queen Harlow was down in the throne room with her group.
Queen Harlow what happened you look pale said ambassador Lydia.
I just make an alliance with king Colt reply Queen Harlow. She handed ambassador Sophie the paperwork she quickly readed though it.
Is this true? asked ambassador Sophie.
All they is the death swamp and a silver coin per bandit. That nothing considered what they doing for us.
You not seeing the big picture reply princess.
What you mean princess Tilly? Asked ambassador Sophie.
First king Colt can control the undead and what have infested the death swamp? Asked princess Tilly.
Undead reply ambassador Sophie.
Exactly and how many do we believe are in the death swamp? Asked princess Tilly.
About 300,000 reply ambassador Sophie.
Exactly and I believe king Colt can use the ancient magic and the ancient machines that the fae realm used reply princess Tilly.
Why you said that ask queen Harlow.
First the elevator, second this castle, and thirdly I have seen on the walls around the castle and the city have old fae markings and I seen some old fae writing on the castle wall said princess Tilly.
If that is true we may have make a mistake reply ambassador Lydia.
No reply Queen Harlow. King Colt have make something clear to me that I was trying not to think about.
What was that? Asked ambassador Lydia.
The reason our neighboring kingdoms did not help us. It was because they hoped we would be destroyed so they can divide our lands and resources said Queen Harlow.
How about king Colt he can do the same thing reply ambassador Lydia.
No he can not reply princess Tilly. If he would go back on the alliance it would compromise all his alliances and then no one will keep them with Freedom.
Exactly reply queen Harlow and I do not believe he is a man that would ever go back on his word.
They walk out of the castle it was dark.
Why is it so dark said ambassador Lydia. She look up and as shocked there was 7 necropolis above the castle. They watch the
necropolis land at the undead fortress and afew minutes later it took off again.
