Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

I read these simple conditions and went into silence. One million gold coins might seem a large sum of money, but after my trip to the mystic art lands I knew this was nothing.

"I can agree on that truce, but the monetary condition must be changed," I said, as Lady Nada nodded to me while I added, "I don't want money, I can get as much money as I want from the sacred lands."

"Then what is it that you desire instead?" she asked, with some interest and much curiosity.

"I want one hundred mystic art medallions monthly, with an advance payment of five hundred medallions."

Her eyes shone brightly, as she understood what I was aiming for. Gaining these medallions would grant me one thousand and half mystic art players at least, and this would greatly enhance my strength.

"Any other comments?" she asked.

"No, just that condition to be modified," I replied, as I gave her the peace treaty. The moment she took it, she had taken out a pen, a special type of pen with no ink, and a long feather in its end. She then wrote what I just said, and then she murmured something, and the paper suddenly vanished.

"It's the right decision to stand down this time, and this doesn't affect any of your current enormous gains," she suddenly said, as she mistook my silence as a sign of my disapproval.

I simply nodded, while my mind was busy thinking of the treaty itself. Those enemies of mine wouldn't make a losing bargain, and that meant what they proposed wasn't necessarily good for me.

For example that condition related to the players under their command, they were so sure of their tight grasp over these players, and so just putting this condition there was just to add one useless item to the treaty.

What I cared about was the peace between me and them at all the game worlds, as that would greatly help in my development. These wolves thought I had no real connections yet with other game worlds, and so they simply proposed this point.

If they knew about my own followers, and the deal I reached with them, they would have not proposed this in the treaty. As for the medallions, I greatly craved for them.

I already had over two hundred medallions from the mystic art sacred lands, and these medallions were left to rot inside my inventory. I intended to start using them once I finish with things here.

Two hundred mystic art users in addition to what I would gain from them would help to boost my guild strength rapidly, making me less restless regarding my guild development.

I waited for ten minutes before another paper appeared to Lady Nada. As she read it, she felt astonished as she muttered:

"They agreed on all the terms with nothing to add or bargain about."

I realized the reason behind her astonishment, as I was already skeptical about their desire for peace. Even if I was doing great, they were also making me lose a lot as well. It made no sense for them to ask for peace like this, and without even negotiation.

"Do you have any connection with the real world?" I suddenly asked, and she just nodded as she said:

"Don't worry, I will dig this up and know what is making them so stressed like this."

I nodded to her, as I felt reassured with her promise. I then excused myself and went outside the mansion, to find my own two newly acquired units waiting for me there with Diana.

"We salute our princess," my dark witch magicians kneeled the moment I stepped outside the gate of the mansion. As for the mecha legion, they just nodded their heads as their leader said:

"Our mecha legion is under your service, my lady."

"Listen up," I said, as I nodded to both of them, "for those who don't know me, I'm a runner for the imperial throne, making me your future queen. Follow me, serve me well and honest, provide me with any advice, and make sure that I would never forget any of your kindness.

Betray me, or keep things away from me, and I swear I won't stop at anything before killing you, your loved ones, and your entire families. Is that clear?"

I didn't want to threaten them, however I had to act against any possible hidden cards of my treacherous enemies.

"Understood my lady."

"Understood my princess."

Both of my two new forces replied at once, and then I turned to Diana as I said:

"Tell Rody to come to me once he finishes organizing everything. I want to know the current status of our guild. We have the privilege to establish five more town branches, and one city branch. So, we need to act fast, as we now have a one year treaty with our enemies."

"One year of peace?!" Diana's face changed, as she was greatly disappointed.

"Don't worry, I sniff something big going on already, so stand tight and just wait for the good news."

She nodded with a much better face than before. "Also tell him to select the best two hundred players for now, and start looking for one thousand and seven hundred more players," I added, and when she looked at me in question I explained:

"I had mystic art medallions, and it was time for my players to gain some help."

She nodded in understanding, while she moved away, the leader of the mecha legion suddenly said:

"My lady, my name is Bruce, and I'm the leader of the mecha party here." he paused, as he bowed his head in respect, before adding, "I want to advise my lady about two things."

I gave him my full attention as I gestured for him to continue, and he added:

"The first is related to my lady rank. I know my lady had asked the esteemed guardian for our support, but my lady doesn't know that the esteemed guardian has little effect on the imperial army. so, our supreme leader just determined the least number of soldiers to serve you."

His words made my heart be tightened, as I guessed what he was going to say next. "The supreme leader of our army is a very loyal person, but he is also loyal to the noble families, especially he hailed from one of the biggest families in our empire.

The numbers sent here don't worth our lady esteemed position. My lady should have acquired at least five folds of our numbers, if not ten folds. I suggest my lady sent a request for aid and security request to the supreme council of the empire, and they would enforce our supreme leader to send more units to your support."

His words were really wise and made me greatly happy and content. "Great advice, Commander Bruce. You have my word, as many units to come, all will fall under your command," I said, promoting him and announcing my trust to this man. "But I have no way to contact the outside world," I simply said my problem here, "and I don't know how to contact the supreme council," I added.

"I heard you have a good connection with master Sam. If you send him a message about your problem, and send the request to him, he would gladly help you to deliver the letter to our imperial supreme council."

His reply made my eyes shine, as I nodded in content. I didn't have any way to contact my master, but Lady Nada had. "What is the second advice?" I asked, with much expectations towards his next advice, as his first one was indeed marvelous and very useful.

Bruce hesitated, as he said:

"It's not advice actually, it's a warning." He paused, as if he was feeling conflicted with what he was going to say.

"Don't worry, you can trust me with anything," I said, trying to reassure him.

"May I ask if my lady already got the recognition of our supreme council regarding the running to throne matter?" he suddenly asked, and I instantly replied:

"The esteemed guardian informed them and my name already is in their records," I spoke honestly, as I didn't have a clue about why he was asking me this.

"Great, then I can tell you about this without feeling any guilt," his features suddenly relaxed, as he added with a very serious face, "a storm is coming, as a great enemy of ours is planning to invade our empire. the sayings in the capital spoke about the dispute inside the supreme council regarding this matter, as our current crown prince is against any strong preparations, and his father, the emperor, is supporting it."

He again paused, before he added when I gave him the gesture to continue:

"The emperor isn't well these days, with rumors speaking about him entering into long periods of comas. Right now we are fortunate he is awake, but if he loses his consciousness, then the council will have to follow the will of the crown prince."
