Chapter 487 A New Peace?
After the orc prince incited Asura's wrath, the orcs quickly pulled him from the delegation. Instead, using one of their ministers with a decent level of intellect.
A half-orc named Bal'dur, a man born from the unwanted union of elf and orc, yet after time, the pair began to accept each other. He was a rare case of the parents finding a path and accepting what happened.

The morning after the event, Asura sat in the imperial dining room with the entire royal family, with the three sons and daughters of Melania.
Ar Sylvas, the eldest daughter of 2,400 years who was married to two elven nobles, is still waiting on a child. Although she was quite pretty with aqua blue hair and the water element, she was nothing compared to Ar Celinas, also known as Celine, who was 220 years old.
However, Sylvas was elegant, and Asura couldn't help but want Celine to learn from her as she ate as the beauty sat to her left.
To her left was the second daughter was single but seemed to be obsessed with magic and magic tools; her name was Ar Lumis, and she had messy black hair, a rarity in the elven race. She wore a simple outfit and ate like a pig.
'I like Lumis. She's very cute, haha.' Asura thought to himself.
Asura found it quite interesting that the sons of the empress, or rather elves in general, were usually quite passive, and the women took control.
Menitos, 3,100 years old, Sulmista with light brown hair and blue eyes, 2,900 years old and finally, the third son who didn't attend. Al Venita, 1,500 years old, made up most of the imperial family.
'She hasn't returned after we parted...' Asura wondered if the queen's aunt would ever return after she asked to see the world several months ago. After losing her beloved and best friend, she seemed to wither in the Abyss domain before Asura saved her.
"Now then, Alula Sol, did you say they would be using a new delegation member as the head, and they've prepared reparations for their stupid prince's words?" Melania smirked at Asura, winking at him while speaking about last night.
'Damn, this woman threatened to go to war instantly—at least I only warned the poor pigs. I know Grom and thus couldn't help but want to believe there might be talented and honourable orcs in their tribe. Thus gave them a chance... Maybe I should bring Grom and his clan here to guide them in the future?'
Asura then shook his head and settled on the thought. 'Only if he and his people desire to.'Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The woman Alula Sol was a beautiful woman with green eyes and a bright pink uniform. Asura met her several times, and she was the Arch Counsel for the Empress. A thankless job of taking all the Council's boring discussions and meeting notes and transferring them to the empress to go over.
"Your Imperial Majesty, they have, in fact, appointed a man named Bal'dur, a half-orf with elven heritage and someone who was allowed to attend our Academy of Sages."
"Oh?"
"Ahem! Let us commence the meeting of peace between our tribe and your great empire!" Bal'dur said as he raised his fist in pride. A movement which his men mirrored as well. It was an intimidating sight... that made a group of elven maidens nearby become nervous.
Though some thought it was quite attractive and Asura thought they looked cool, seeing the imposed image of Grom and Alan the knight from Romantica.
'I want to see those guys soon...let's hurry and find a way back to the mainland.'

The meeting took hours, with several breaks for meals and drinks. This gave time for both sides to discuss and bring back ideas to solve the issues and decide on what the best method going forward was.
Asura found it amazing that the elves were so calm and generous that they didn't demand more land. Or ask the orcs to leave; they were happy as long as their forest was untouched, or if touched, it was within certain agreements between the two races.
'To think there would be a clause and topic on intermarriage and marriage meetings, haha.'
However, she accepted nobles could do so if they wished. However, then added the clause for the orcs that they couldn't just play with an orc and needed to go through official channels. All to avoid slavery and other negative effects.

'What an amazing empress and princess... even if they have weird kinks.' Asura thought as the day ended. Afterwards, he returned to his palace to find Mu Xue, Mu Yue and Lucia all waiting for him.
Mu Yue was quite cute when she was dressed formally, as if she wanted to match his style. At the same time, Mu Xue remained relaxed in her usual clothes and made herself comfortable. Because she was close to her due date, her stomach began to grow slightly, causing her to emit the aura of a mature woman, like a mother.
Lucia seemed happy helping Mu Xue and keeping the baby safe. She used her shadows to help with all Mu Xue's needs, and while embarrassed, she seemed to appreciate Lucia's hard work.
"Husband... Princess Celine isn't here because..." Mu Yue went to speak before Lucia interjected.
"Her sister Princess Lumis called her after the meeting. It seems she wanted to ask something... and wouldn't take no for an answer."
"Oh, so how about we give them some space? Did we not receive some fine elven wine?" Asura clapped and stood up. "I'd like a drink if possible. Today was long and a little boring. Xue'er, will you sit with me on the balcony?"
Mu Xue looked graceful as she smiled gently with happiness filling her heart. She loved Asura, and since he started becoming more loving and aware. It made her heart flutter each time their eyes met.
"I would love to, my dear husband."
