Chapter 411 War For Astor Kingdom XIII
Runard Astor feel his heart beating loudly. As his father sacrifice himself for his sake, he and his escorts had been running as quickly as they could.
However, it seem the demon's wing was not for show, as he easily capture the villages and towns in the Kingdom. He learned the hard way when he almost entered a village when he was attacked by monsters, and to his surprise, other human.
He latter learned from some he subdued that the villagers surrendered. He wanted to be mad at them but he had to admit there not much else they could do. If even the powerful soldiers of the Kingdom fell, what of regular villagers.
Surrendering to the demon would be the sanest option. Unfortunately, he doubted he had such option. After all, he is one of the most important people in the Kingdom, and would be killed by the demon.

Plus, the demon likely killed his father. There is no way for him to surrender to it. However, his options is limited. The only thing he could do is flee to the capital and moved his family away from the Kingdom, maybe heading to the Holy Church for safety.
Losing power would be devastating but it is better than losing their life. He hopes he could convince them though, as he doubted some of his family member would agree to it, at least not without force.
As he thought of what he need to do for the future of his family, he was sent flying from his horse as something swoop in. He did not need to look to know they had been caught up by the demon.
As his guards were fell one by one, the Crown Prince sighed as soon, he felt the jagged claw of the demon.
"Kill me, I will not do anything you said." he said calmly.
"Not even if I let you live and rule the Kingdom, or what is left of it." Runard snorted,
"Like you will not make me into some kind of puppet with the real power hold by you. Besides, this Kingdom is ruined by the time you successfully destroyed the entire military forces."
"I don't think I need to spell out what will happen if you refuse."
As the entire capital feel into chaos as they asked what they should do, her children entered her room.
"Mother, what should we do?" Elezia asked, unsure of the next course of action. Her youngest, Maroon, nodded, asking the same question without speaking it out.
The Queen of Astor Kingdom and the ruler of the Kingdom in the absence of her husband, which likely be a permanent one, sighed.
"I will not throw the life of the people and kill them off if I could avoid doing so. I will agree to surrender, except, I will talk to him first."

While she might have appeared confident in front of her children, it was a horrifying experience to be in front of a demon, one that decide the fate of the Kingdom.
"So, you wish to negotiate?" the demon asked. Alicia shook her head, causing him to raise his brow.
"Trying to negotiate when I don't have anything that can be used as a bargaining tool is foolish. What I come here for is I wanted to ask what will happen to the Kingdom after this?" she explained,
"I see. So you want to confirm I will not kill the people without reason." he state. The Queen nodded.
"In that case, unless they earn my ire, I will not kill them." Alicia let out a sigh of relief. "However, there will be some new rules and demands, one you cannot refuse."
Alicia could feel her heart beating, as there will be several conditions that she will not like, no doubt of it.
