Chapter 205: Under Threat of Violence
"Aren't you a cute little baby!" I cooed, looking down into Summer's eyes with a large smile holding a grumpy little baby. I could take each precious moment as I had to go soon while Summer looked up at me with a wrinkled face that showed discontent that I took her from her Mother, Mally. I held her for those precious seconds that I could.
I lost myself in her cuteness before she started to cry for her mother's tit. I smiled and decided that I hadn't even had the time to taste breast milk myself. I couldn't help this thought as I handed Summer off with a sad smile. "She seems hungry," I told her.
"I know," Mally said with a smile, "Winter has been going at it for a while too."
Mally took Summer, and with her other breast taken with Winter sucking on it, Summer soon got to work on the opposite side, and Mally sighed. "What are you up to today?" Mally asked, curious.
I couldn't help but sigh, "With my mother out of the picture at the moment, things are starting to complicate Politically finally," I said, leaning down and kissing her. "With that being said, I now have to talk to some of the Elders that want to pressure me into lowering the pressure on many of their perceived failures that I have been forcing to do their jobs in the Logistical army. What I thought was cut off when I started to cut off heads for profiteering from the logistics department was they didn't think they would be caught." I sighed again.
"What do you mean?" Mally asked.
"I have a meeting with the Two Elders to kill their useless profiteering spawn." I said with a chuckle, "They don't want me to kill them publicly and publicly shame their families by shouting out to everyone that they were taking gold meant as salaries for their lowest level workers in their warehouses to their own families." I said, shaking my head, "Very bad look for their outside businesses that they were sending money into them meant for the very people who would have shopped there," I said with a predatory smile.
"So wait, You are attacking their public influence?" Mally asked in surprise as she held up Summer and Winter as they enjoyed their meal.
"Yes," I replied with a huge grin as these two elders, Tyrone and the more obscure Elder Kelly, were both attacking my policies. They hated how much influence I was quickly gaining among the poor of the Bunny-kin tribe. I was quickly rising as people could more easily feed their families, and I started to reform some practices in farming quietly. They had no idea about my farming reforms. Still, the amount of social pressure to look favorably at me was enormous at the moment as I was quickly becoming the largest employer in the City surrounding Silvermoon Tower. "They are the biggest Critics of my policies in my military and if they kept being law-abiding critics or at least their family was being Law abiding then they could continue to be critics. Now, I have the perfect ammunition, as I have done to many other families that tried to steal wages from working people. Then they wouldn't be having this issue." I told Mally as I stretched a little and looked at the two cuties as it seemed Winter was finished her meal.
"I think I need to get more involved in the politics here in the Beast-kin Nation," Mally sounded a little odd.
"Honestly," I said, taking Winter into my arms and burping her. "You can learn all you want about Politics here in the Beast-kin Nation. You will not be able to participate at the moment," I informed her, "In the Demon Lands, you can talk to your Representatives," I told her, "Here in the Beast-kin Nation, the best you can do is talk to your Elders who run everything here. Technically the only reason why I can talk at the moment is because of my position and the Grand Elder backing my policies when it comes to the military I am making." I sighed, "I hate this current system," I commented.
"You seem powerful in it?" Mally said, her voice confused.
"Just because you can profit and have power in the current system we run on doesn't make it a good system," I informed her, "Right now, all my policies can be destroyed in a minute if the Grand elder decides so. Or the entire Elder council can get their shit together and say no to my policies. It is a horrible system that keeps the rich, educated Families in power." I finished. "But," I said as I heard Winter burp, and I smiled, handing Winter back to Mally. I then took the cloth over my shoulder and looked at the little Mess Winter had made. "I have to go; these Elders already hate me. No reason to be too late for them," My smile turned sad.
"You know you seem to have a plan, Chelsea," Mally said, her voice soft as she took Winter into her arm. "When do I get to hear it?" She asked, her voice mildly Curious.
"Never," I said, my voice stern. Mally looked surprised, and I sighed, "Sorry, but what I am doing is not exclusively my burden, but at this point, I am not ready to define it, and maybe I never will." I told her seriously, "What I do know is that the Beast-kin nation will die if it keeps its current identity. Maybe not with the War on the Empire, but it will lose by the next war. I am not sure about the Elven Forest, but when it comes to the Dwarves and the Humans on the Continent and the Demon lands, they have armies. What we have, or Had. Were Barbarian tribes working together for a single purpose? That isn't going to work and what I have to do is prove that I am the future," I told her and turned and put the cloth where someone would wash it. "I am out there fighting for the future of my children."
With that, I exited, not saying anything more, and when I turned to see my babies one more time in Mally's arms I saw a woman blushing with desire and affection. I could feel the love emanating from Mally without holding back and I felt my heart throb. Then the door closed, and I turned, walking down the hall. My feet moved with purpose and I quickly reached my office with Alexia waiting with a frown. "They are inside waiting," Alexia said, her voice serious.
"Thanks, No refreshments, please," I told her and took a deep breath showing Alexia a moment of vulnerability before I stepped into the office where Elder Tyrone was looking at me with pure anger on his face sitting in my chair. In fact, I could see Elder Kelly and Tyrone on my side of the desk, looking at me with Anger and contempt as they glowered at me.
I stood in the doorway and lifted an eyebrow. "You are both on the wrong side of the desk," I told them without restraint, "This office is mine, and that is my desk you are sitting at and you do not have the authority at this point in time to be sitting there," I announced to both of them.
Their anger turned to fury instantly. "WE ARE YOUR ELDERS!" They both yelled and the mana in the room instantly congealed and my senses turned on fire as I felt the threat to my life. They both wanted to kill me, and I felt the instinctual need to cower. Both could kill me without me putting up a fight in the least and I knew that now clearly. I knew in the past but could feel the mana around me solidifying and keeping away from me. I would not even be able to cast a spell around them.
But I wasn't a coward.
"YOU TWO ARE NOT THE REPRESENTATIVES OF MORE THAN A DOZEN ELDERS!" I roared back, "I AM APPOINTED BY THE ENTIRE COUNCIL!" I yelled back at them with equal Fury. Both looked shocked at me, with similar outrage, and that I could stand up to them even as my skin crawled, my instincts screaming at me harder. "YOU WILL NOT MAKE ME COWER!" I took one breath as both seemed to be thinking, and I pointed at the single seat before my desk. "SIT," I demanded and watched both of them.
Elder Tyrone twitched and I saw his black Bunny ears twitching as he visibly looked extremely upset. Silence took over the office when Elder Kelly, a female Elder who was very elderly, got up. I could see her anger too, but it seemed sense entered her head first and she stood walking around, making Elder Tyrone stand and walk around the desk with his chair in hand.
I walked around and sat at my desk, and soon we were all looking at each other in silence and Alexia moved to close the door. I could see from my desk her whole body trembling from the Mana solidification as the Elders scared her too, and I looked at both the offenders inside my office. "Now," I said, keeping my voice flat, "You asked for an appointment."
It was a declaration of fact and both twitched and the silence quickly became prolonged. I quickly decided sitting in silence was a waste of my time and I would rather be with Winter and Summer or any of my other babies at this moment. They were all so cute and offended when I took them some time. I wanted to be around them more and bond with them. "If you asked for an appointment only to sit in silence, then I will have to ask you to book that appointment for later. I have things to do before I execute some worthless profiteers," I said, my voice continued to be flat.
"Worthless may be the right word but I think indefinite confinement might be a better use for their talents," Elder Tyrone said his a hard timber.
"You mean less embarrassing for your families to be stealing wages from the very people that shop at your establishments?" I replied.
"INSOLENCE!" He roared, the mana getting solid again.
This time I preferred to keep silent while staring at him. Seconds ticked, and it quickly turned into another minute of silence. "I will tell you something, Elder Tyrone," I said, breaking the silence myself this time. "I will go out there in front of the Silvermoon tower and I will take a sword in hand. I will cut off their heads with perfect clarity as to why I am doing it." I told him, "We are about to enter a War, Elder Tyrone," I said it like I was informing him of information that he didn't know, "Now, I am going to kill a group of people that are traitors to that war. If you wish to protect them or put them in your House of Failures then you can go to the Grand Elder and beg him to allow you to save two Traitors to the Bunny-kin who are working their hardest for what is only a small wage and for the sake of our Tribe. You do that and have the Grand Elder talk to me about it. I will not stop my PUBLIC EXECUTION OF TRAITORS!" I found myself yelling now, leaning over my desk inside a thick amount of mana that made me want to scream and cry.
My body shook, but it looked like it was because of anger, and it was partially that. But my instincts were screaming as Elder Tyrone and Kelly looked pissed. Kelly seemed to have calmed down in the meantime, while Elder Tyrone felt on the edge of killing me this instant. My whole body felt like it was at the moment that soldier stormed into the school in my previous world. I had a gun barrel against my head, and it was ready to shoot. The biggest difference now was that the person wanted to shoot that gun. God did they want to shoot that gun, but it was a question of if they would survive and their family would survive the fallout of shooting me. I could see the calculation in his eyes as we stared.
"Do it," I said as my body shook, "You, An Elder, Kill me as I try my best to make an army in the shortest time possible. What would my Mother and Father do, ELDER TYRONE," I tossed my parents at him, "FUCKING KILL ME YOU CORRUPT FUCKING-"
Something passed by my head, and my body shivered as a rock was pressing against my ear. It was an impossibly perfect rectangle, and my body was shaking. "I will not be insulted, Chelsea Loveknot," Elder Tyrone said, his voice cold as Ice, "Insult me again, and I will kill you where you stand," He snapped.
My skin was clamming up, and my hands were sweating as the object that was touching me suddenly as it appeared disappeared with the mana dispersing. "Elder Tyrone, Get out of my office," I told him, "Elder Kelly," I turned to her and tried to ignore Elder Tyrone, "Do you have a more reasonable request?" I asked.
Elder Kelly was older than Elder Tyrone, or I believe that was the truth, but she seemed to defer to Elder Tyrone as she looked at him fuming. "I will follow Elder Tyrone out as I think it will be more advisable to talk to you with other Elders present so that this does not happen again," Elder Kelly said, acting like a neutral party.
"Very well," I said, "I will still be executing the Traitors of our Race today unless the Elder Council as a whole tells me not to. You have two hours," I announced to them and saw Elder Kelly look at me angrily and Elder Tyrone fume. Instead, he turned and left the room, the door smashing against the wall of the other room and disintegrating into pieces on the floor.
Both departed, and Alexia stepped into the office, "They are both gone," She said.
I fell to the floor, my knees no longer able to hold me up, and my body shook. I had kept myself together and would be able to hit both of them politically today. My body trembled, though fear overtook my senses, and I started to cry, and my body shook like a leaf in the wind. "I- I did it," I said, reassuring myself even knowing this conversation would be hard. I didn't expect it to get this close to my death, though, as I antagonized Elder Tyrone to the brink of insanity.
"You okay?" I heard a concerned voice and looked up with tears as my body shook all over.
I nodded with a weak smile, "Y- Y- you," I stuttered as my voice box seemed to tremble from the fear I felt, and I tried to take a deep breath and was almost hyperventilating. "S- S- S- Sorry, G-g- G- G -Give m- me a- a- a- a moment," I finally stuttered out.
I tried to consciously take breaths deeply in and out as the moment was over, and I finally got in control of my breathing again. "E- Elder Tyrone doesn't even understand what I just won with this. I am happy; I am just getting over the moment, Alexia; J- Hold me for a moment, please," I asked her.
Alexia held me in her arms, and I shivered like a leaf. I couldn't help but be proud of myself for standing up against him. I didn't even know what that would feel like. My body was reacting harder than when I actually had killed myself back then. My mind was going crazy about what would have happened to my children if I had died. But I got the victory, and now, unless the council stopped me. I would look like a moral leader to the people as I executed the lawbreakers.
That image would be worth more than gold or even an A rank in the future. I needed it for the future.
It took over an hour for my body to finally calm down, and Alexia never moved from holding me tightly. She didn't talk and just seemed to wait for me to get a hold of myself, and I kissed her before I stood up. "Thank you," I told her honestly, "I need to go and reap the reward."
Not even a half hour later, I was standing on a podium, "Today!" I said in front of a crowd of Bunny-kin, Dog-kin, Cat-kin, and I thought I saw some Goat kin. They all looked up at me as I held a long iron sword in my hand at the top of a scaffold with a podium in front of me. "We are here to witness the Punishment of two traitors to the Bunny-kin,' I said, pointing out a black and grey Bunny-kin. Both were men, and they were locked in shackles, unable to move with two guards behind them.
"SURPREME COMMANDER!" I heard a shout and had to hide a wince.
"These two were both found stealing the Wages of their charges and workers working for the future of our tribe. They are Traitors helping the enemy in small ways even if they did not think of it like that," I announced to the crowd, "Helping the Empire by creating resentment to those in the most vulnerable position in our ranks feeling underpaid." I told them all, and the crowd seemed to go silent. "This is a Capitol offense and is a crime punishable by death. I want to remind everyone here that this one here," I said, pointing to the black Bunny-kin, "Is from Elder Tyrone's family," I said, "His family is not culpable for what he has done, just as," I pointed at the Grey Bunny-kin, "Is part of Elder Kelly's family, that their family is not culpable for what these two have done stealing from you all." I said, exaggerating. "Do not attack their families; they will pay for their crimes with their own blood!" I announced.
"SUPREME COMMANDER, WE LOVE YOU!" I heard a scream from a woman in the back of the crowd. A roar of a cheer suddenly erupted, "JUSTICE!" They announced, and I wanted to wince.
This wasn't justice, and I wouldn't prolong this disgusting act as I had one of the warriors pin the prisoner to the ground. I could see the disbelief that their Elders never got them out of this mess. Up till the moment I executed both of them, they never believed they were going to die for their crimes. They both even admitted to the crime, even with the prior examples of me killing those stealing from the army's soldiers.
I looked at the rolling heads and lifted up the kin of the two Elders from before, and the crowd's cheer was deafening. My example was permanently set that even if the rich families had Elders, they could not touch the Army. The Army was sacred, and you couldn't break the Law here. You will die if you do.
To many, my position as an arbiter of Justice was set as I would not even back down in front of violence, both in the background and to those in the public. Elder Tyrone could not have done me a bigger favor as the rumors would be spread in the future.
With two more swings of the sword, I converted even more people to my cause.
