The Golden Throne

All the noise in the room died down. Liu Feng raised his head to see all the eyes in the room pointed at him. The eyes were glinting, and Liu Feng felt the intention to skin him apart and study him. Shaking his head of his thought, he smiled uneasily.

Most curious of the entire room were those of the two generals of each country. They wanted to see the kid who saved the kings of three kingdoms at the young age of thirteen. Liu Feng coughed to avert their gaze and sat down on one of the chairs. Damascus asked him, "How did the negotiations go? Seeing that you arrived without any incident, I assume that Amelia arrived safely."

"She is sleeping, I think. There was no aggression, but the king of the magical forest, I think his name is Bai Du, refused my request for his help, or for borrowing the armour. We are stuck with what we have. But, he said that we can win with what we have, so I think our primary course should be to understand the opponent's forces."

"We can win with the forces that we have? A peculiar statement from someone like that. I have read in the history book that the king of the magical forest, the majestic white tiger, is truly honourable and would even lay down his life to help the continent. If someone like that says that, then that is indeed the course that we must take.", Damascus said with reverent eyes.

Liu Feng looked at him and shook his head. "Why is every one saying that he is right? That tiger isn't honourable. He is a goddamn psychopath who almost definitely ruined your daughter's mind.", he wanted to say out loud, but he didn't.

"Since you think so as well, then I suggest a scout team of the highest calibre. They should be able to run away from captains at least. I will check their ability to escape when the team is assembled.", Liu Feng said, still seated.

The general from Elvan scowled. "You are just a kid. Even if you are a genius who got lucky and got a contract, remember that you are speaking with a king. Stand up and pay your respects."

Liu Feng sighed. He said, "Lady, you must have missed the incident with the king of Darv. You must understand that this city is mine. The entire war is based on how I will react. I know that as a woman, to get to where you are right now, you must be an extraordinary person. Please do not make a mistake in offending me. I am in a sour mood because of the last two days."

The general was about to speak up, but Damascus raised his hand to stop her. "Leave it Teleri. You don't want to argue with a kid do you?"

She stepped back and took a seat. She harrumphed and turned away. Liu Feng just shrugged and he looked at his father. "Father, how much longer till the armies arrive at the city?"

"The armies? They will take a few weeks to arrive? What about it?", Liu Man asked.

"A few weeks? That is way too much time. We need the armies here so that they can understand how to even use the guns, and how to face demons. They are useless without training.", Liu Feng said, shaking his head.

"You are far too impatient. These are armies that we are talking about. We are just lucky that our boundaries are secure, with the only kingdoms near us being allies. But, because of your skirmish with Balor, I have to rethink the border patrol situation.", Liu Man rebuked Liu Feng.

"Why? I will send an envoy to Darv. The only problem that we have with them is that they want this city. As a king, he will have the common sense that if he even touches Aegon, all hell will rain on Darv.", Liu Feng said, with a glint in his eyes. "If he wants to mess with me, he can pay the price."

"Power doesn't solve everything, Feng Er. Sometimes we must use other avenues. Don't threaten him. Send a peace offering."

"A peace offering? What are you talking about father? This is too much. He disrespected the children, me and the entire city by thinking of these kids as children. I cannot easily reconcile with a person like that. It goes against all of my morals.", Liu Feng shook his head.

"Tell him that you are sorry for your outburst. Tell him that Dilheim is a neutral city that is controlled by the master of the mage tower. That way, he will have to speak against the master of the mage tower instead of fighting with us.", Liu Man said.

Liu Feng looked surprised. "You planned all of this didn't you."

Liu Man just smiled. "Do it. We do not have much time. Send someone from the city lord, not the mage tower. Remember, we must show that we are willing to concede. During this time, we cannot afford to lose the support of Darv. They can help with the mass production of these weapons that you showed us, that gun do you call it?"

Liu Feng slapped his forehead. "You are right! The dwarves are master craftsmen. They can definitely complete this then!"

"Complete what?", Damascus asked.

"Oh, nothing much, it is just a project of the master of the mage tower. If successful, it could… help with the war against the demons."

"Then stop stalling and send an envoy. Show me the message that you are planning to send before you send it. I can't afford to have another war right now."

Liu Feng laughed and nodded. He left, leaving the war room dead silent.

"You are right, Your Majesty. His Highness is very different from other kids his age."
