BXBX NOVEL Chapter 445 Grace’s Decision Part 1
"I am surprised you let Rin leave the village." Mike couldn\'t help but wonder how Rin talked her way into being able to leave the village with Faana.
"Well, I can\'t hold her here the entire time now, can I? Plus, Faana is very powerful now. Her flames can burn anything to ash. If she were to leave with anyone, she would be safe under Faana\'s care." Bret also knew that Rin had been working on her mana core as well and was learning new sword techniques and magic spells. She may be a mother of his children, but she still wished to grow stronger along with everyone else.
"Ah, true. Even if a reglios shows up, I do not think they will have an issue with escaping." Mike also agreed on this point. Faana and the rest of Blake\'s wives were over the top when it came to strength.

Three people stood outside a gate of a human city. They were currently surrounded by many humans with guns and swords. "Who are you!? Why are you here!?"
"Tell what was here name…. Ummm…." Faana scratched her head trying to remember the name of Tobie\'s so called master.
"Madam Faana it was Grace…." Tobie stepped in to remind Faana.
"Right! Tell Grace that her cat girl wanted to come back. We need to speak to her and talk things through before she can be returned though." Faana knew all the details about returning Tobie to Grace. There needed to be a contract formed to make it so Grace could not abuse Tobie and make it so that she has to treat her well.
"Do you think you can just speak to Her Holiness because you want to !? You are nothing but demi humans! Begone before we decide to capture yo…." The man was cut off as a stream of white flames blew past his head, singeing the hair on the side of his head.
"I am not asking, I am telling you to call her, or I will destroy your entire city. It is humans like you guys that are making a bad name for your own race. We know all about the atrocities you have done with the demi humans. And to let you know, you are no match for either one of us. Even your army was beaten back by just one of us before. So do not get any ideas." Faana was making things clear. She was not here to talk nonsense.
Up in the highest tower, Grace looked down at the city gates with a furrowed brow. Her eyes twitched slightly when she saw a familiar figure standing behind two demi humans. "Tobie!?" As her eyes grew wide, Grace ran out of her office and headed down the stairs as fast as she could.
When she got to the gates, she could hear the guards arguing with the people outside, and she began to panic. If anything happened to her Tobie…. As this thought came to mind, she stopped her feet and realized her concern for Tobie had long grown past that as master and slave. Taking a deep breath, she walked through the gates and yelled out: "Stand down!"
"Your Holiness! You must not get close to this damn demi hu…" The guard who had been speaking this entire time wanted to hold Grace back, but a shadow flashed by him and appeared in front of Grace. "You Holiness!"
"I said stand down!" Grace screamed at the top of her lungs, causing everyone to halt their steps. She looked at the cat girl who was now kneeling in front of her with her head pressed against the ground and gave a wry smile. "Tobie, raise your head. I am not mad. You are not at fault here."
"Ahem…" Faana hated being ignored the most. "I hate to be the harbinger of bad news, but let me say this now. There are a few conditions that must be met before you can be truly reunited." Faana\'s words made Grace furrow her brow, but she did not dare to think she could easily beat the dragonic girl standing there. Even the elf girl at her side seemed overly powerful.
"Where are my manners? My name is Grace Townson. I am the ruler of this city. Would the two of you please follow me?" Grace knew things would not be easy if she tried to force them away, so it was best to just play things by ear. She did not want a massacre to happen in her city.
"Please lead the way," Faana replied. And with that, Grace, Tobie, Faana, Rin, and a few guards were led to a large building that was just recently built that would be used for diplomatic relations with other human settlements, but now for its first use, it was being used to host demi humans.
Grace felt it was ironic, really. They had enslaved thousands of demi humans but now they were basically at the mercy of said demi humans. And to top it off, she had grown to love a demi human herself. She did not really understand how she should feel about all of this.
Grace took her seat on the throne that resided on a small platform that had three steps leading up to it. She looked at Faana and Rin, along with Tobie, who stood by their sides and waved her hand. "Everyone but our guests and Tobie are to leave."
"But, Your Holiness! We can not just leave…." The guard\'s mouth shit when he was glared at by Grace. He did not wish to make the one he worshiped made at him, but he did not trust the demi humans at all!
"What I decide to do is none of your business. Even if they decide to kill me here and now with all of you here, you could not stop them. So it makes no difference if you are here or not! Leave now! Or do I need to force you all to leave myself?"
