Chapter 100: Another Letter?
Adeline slowly read the Submission letter, and looked up at the three.
"My daughter is one of Aaron's lords, who are responsible for controlling the whole forest... What I'm saying is, the child of the sky always keeps his word."
"So you're saying we should accept this?" Alto asked.
"Accepting it or not is up to you three... I told you, Aaron isn't the Cursed Child, that's just what the grand priests used to manipulate all of you."
The three frowned.
"Those pigs! They deceived our ancestors into attacking your city, and people... We're deeply sorry for tha--"
Adeline stopped them with a raise of her hand:
"That's enough, your families killed my husband and youngest Daughter, and now you're asking for my help."
"Calm down, Queen Adeline... Your daughter isn't Dead... Well... A kid named Jack killed her and delivered her burnt body to Kara."
"WHAT?!!!"
Adeline stood up in rage, dense amount of demonic energy burst out from her, plunging the room into darkness... Countless red bats flew from all direction, and surrounded her figure.
"Jack! Who's this Jack?!" She asked, her eyes bloodred.
"He's one of the strongest Kid I have ever seen, A Sky realm." Sheen said.
"Only a Sky realm?! I'll kill him!" Levia was also enraged.
"Calm down. Kara and the Academy are backing him, It won't be easy, and that kid is the last descendant of the Ning Family."
Adeline frowned hearing the family mentioned.
"The Ning family are good people, they also didn't believe in the Cursed Child, that's why the Skull killed them in the war... But... Why will a descendant kill my daughter?!"
"Well... All I know is, Jack is after power, and recognition... That was the reason he killed your daughter and brought her body back... That way, he can easily get as much fame needed." Nicolette said.
"And he dare use my daughter as a stepping stone?!!"
"Calm down, Mum... I need to tell Emperor Aaron about this, Maybe he can free you from here, and together, we can have our revenge." Levia suggested.
"Can we also see Emperor Aaron?" Sheen asked after some hesitation.
"Emperor Aaron is always busy... I don't think he'll want to see any of you, not yet." Levia said, and added.
"What do you think, Mum?"
Adeline calmed down, and collapsed on her seat... She moved her gaze on Levia, then at the three, and sighed.
"I suggest you accept the letter... And Levia, Get Aaron... He might be able to get me out from here, and we can both have our revenge on this Jack."
Levia nodded, while the tree brought out their ink and feather, and signed the submission letter...
Their families trusted Adeline, and that was the reason they voted for her to live, but instead the priests caged her, and their ancestors were powerless to do anything, so they could only visit her in her prison.
After signing the letter, it shattered into small particles, and entered their bodies.
Sheen: "Huh?"
Alto: ".....!!"
Nicolette: "What was that?"
"I think those letters are Alliance Circles." Levia said.
Before the three could do anything, three huge bags filled with gold coins appeared in front of them.
"This?" They were stunned seeing the huge amount of gold coins.
"You guys should get going, The Abyssal gates will be opened soon, you need to get ready." Adeline said, stood up, and walked towards the stairs with slumped shoulders.
Levia stared at her mother for some seconds, and sighed. 'Don't worry Mum, we'll avenge Sister.'
The three stared at Adeline, and nodded.
"We'll get going, princess Levia."
Nicolette stood up, and took her bag of gold coins in her spatial space. The other two followed her action.
Levia nodded, while the three walked towards the door.

Sheen and the two walked outside only to see an army waiting for them.
"Huh?"
They were stunned.
"What are you three doing in this forest?!!"
Modena asked with a slight frown, Henry, Alter, Vanni, and Kelvin stood behind her... Their soldiers standing behind them.
"Slow Down, Modena... They are now allies of Terra." Levia walked down the front stairs staring at the five.
"Really?" Henry, the werewolves' Alpha muttered in mild surprised.
"Have they signed the letter?" Modena asked.
Levia moved her gaze around, and asked back:
"How did you guys locate this Castle?"
"My soldiers saw, and followed him here." Vanni said, staring at Sheen.
Levia nodded, While Modena took a step, appearing in front of her.
"You kept your Mother's existence from the Emperor... You'll face the consequences when he returns."
"The Emperor never asked of my mother, So I didn't lie or keep anything from him... What consequences are you speaking of?" Levia asked back.
Modena moved her gaze to the close door, then at Levia... "Ok then, What are these guys doing here?"
"To ask some questions, nothing more." Levia answered.
"Ok."
Modena turned around, and appeared on her previous spot.
"We'll leave them alive because they're now Terra's Allies... That's the only reason."
With that said, she turned around and walked away, the army making way for her.
"Modena, Do you by any chance know who is Jack?" Levia asked.
"Jack?" Modena came to a stop, and looked at Levia over her shoulder.
"Why are you asking about Jack?"
"We have some unfinished business." Levia replied with killing intent.
Modena looked downward, remembering Aaron's warning.
'No one should know about my plan... A lot of people already knew about it, I don't want more at the moment.'
She looked up at Levia. "I don't know him, But he's one powerful kid."
With that said, she walked away... Henry, and the other three stared at the kings for some seconds, and followed behind her, with their armies.
After they were gone, the three turned their heads to Levia.
"Who were those people?! They're so powerful, and that woman is a Beast-Ruler." Nicolette asked, totally surprised.
"That's Modena, She's the first Lord of the Forest, Emperor Aaron gave her the position... That means, she's technically the Queen of the whole Flesh Eaters' forest... I'll say in this forest, only the three-headed dragon and my mother can match her."
"Three-headed Dragon?" The three were stunned.
"I think you now have a small imagination of Terra's strength, and these are just its frontier soldiers... Not even its hidden blades... Ok, get going, no creature in this forest will stop you... Only because you now have the mark of Terra."
The three nodded at her, got on their carriages, and drove out from the black castle.
Levia looked at the gate and sighed: "I forgot to ask Modena about the Emperor, or when he'll return."

[8:00Pm.]
Sheen finally reached his castle, he got down, and walked inside.
"Dad! There's news!!"
The moment he entered the hall, his son and wife rushed towards him.
"News? What news?"
The prince bought out a golden scroll, and gave it to his father.
Sheen took the scroll, opened it, and read the word for everyone to hear.
"King Sheen, This is a letter from the grand priests, there's bad news... The Cursed Child have taken over the Third and Second Continents, naming them Terra... As the king, you must protect your people, and to protect them, you must help get rid of the Cursed Child, by assisting us with your army... Together, we can take back our lands, but If you refuse to help, you'll face the wrath of the Grand priests and the other races... We'll be attacking in two days time, so get ready."
He closed the scroll, and looked up at the two.
"Hmm... Love, our son said that same Terra sent us a Submission letter, he also said they mentioned high benefits."
Sheen nodded, walked towards a couch and sat down.
"Dad! Did you accept their letter?"
Sheen stared at the two and nodded. "I signed the submission letter."
He waved his hand, and the bag of gold coins appeared in front of the two.
"WHOA!!!"
The guy exclaimed, he rushed up to the bag, opening it. "Is this the 100 Million gold coins mentioned in the letter?" He looked up at his father.
"The moment I signed it, that bag appeared... And I saw the other two races' Rulers, the Dwarves, and Beast folks... We three signed it, and received the gold coins."
"What about the humans and elves?" The Queen asked.
"I don't know about them."
"But Dad, What are we going to do with the Priests' request?" He looked up from the gold coins to his father.
"We'll act for now... To see if the Humans and Elves are with the Priests... If they are, we'll have to attack their armies."
"Hmm... So If the Humans and Elves are with the Priests, you'll attack them and their armies from within?"
"Yes... The Humans have the biggest army, but I know with the other two races, we'll be able to scatter them from within the line, while Terra will take care of the rest... Before the Priests get what's happening, We would have taken down more than 50% of the army."
"Love, that will be dangerous, to you and our soldiers."
"I know.... But it's the only way, if we refuse the letter, the grand priests will suspect something, and try to get rid of me, this way, we'll catch them off-guard."
The two smiled, and nodded with a thoughtful expression.
"Nicely said, Dad!"
"Moreover, I need to send word to the other two races, we all need to be in this plan!" He smiled.
