DEMON QUEEN
The Deal In Meeting
Xiao Ziya and Emperor Zue were currently on their way to the Qiyu Imperial Palace, the residents who met them on the street spontaneously bowed their heads while greeting. Xiao Ziya only smiled amiably in return for their hospitality, after walking for a few minutes the two finally arrived in front of the entrance gate. The soldiers opened the palace gates and allowed Xiao Ziya and Emperor Zue to enter inside.
"Our respectful greetings to Grand Miss Xiao Ziya and His Highness Emperor Zue" the gate guard soldiers said simultaneously. They deliberately mentioned Xiao Ziya's name first because the girl who occupied the highest position in the Qiyu Empire's territory.
"Thank you all for coming in first." replied Xiao Ziya.
After being inside the palace Xiao Ziya rushed away towards the main hall whereas Emperor Zue asked some generals to invite some clan chiefs to come except for the Xiao Clan. After the generals left now Emperor Zue asked the servants to prepare a snack that will be served during the meeting because most likely this time the meeting will run a long time.
"You prepared enough snacks and drinks to entertain about thirty people." Emperor Zue ordered some servants who were sitting in kitchen chairs.
The servants immediately stood up and said their greetings, they were very surprised by the arrival of the emperor when he arrived, fortunately Emperor Zue was not angry when he saw they were sitting leisurely doing nothing. The servants who worked in the palace only needed to prepare food for the emperor and other higher-ups, and even that was only done three times a day except when a banquet or party was held.
"Well we will immediately prepare everything according to your orders. Is today going to be a little party or something? we need to know that to match what needs to be presented." asked one of the waiters.
"There is no party for today it's just that Miss Ziya will hold a meeting with some clan leaders who are in the Qiyu Empire's territory." replied Emperor Zue casually.
"Isn't that a lot? how do we prepare everything in a short time." said one kitchen waiter with a worried face, they did not want to disappoint Miss Ziya but it was very impossible to prepare such a snack and serve it when the meeting was almost over.
"There are only seven clans coming, each clan will bring two of their representatives. You can definitely make it in time, I asked for thirty poris for fear that some people would eat more than others." Emperor Zue told the kitchen maids. They do not need to worry if the time needed is not enough because the meeting this time will take a long time.
"Well we'll make it now" replied the kitchen maids in unison. They immediately went to prepare the tools and materials needed, fortunately yesterday materials such as flour and sugar were just delivered to the palace.
After making sure the kitchen maids were working properly it was time for Emperor Zue to head towards the main hall to accompany Xiao Ziya. On the other hand right now Ziya was sitting on a chair specially prepared for her, the girl was waiting patiently while eating the bowl of fresh grapes she got from within the universe ring.
The door of the main hall opened wide, with Emperor Zue walking closer to Ziya. The emperor smiled sweetly at the sight of his little sister waiting without grumbling at all. After returning from the other layers of the world Xiao Ziya became more mature than before, he could control his anger better and not originally hit or kill others.
"Do you feel bored Miss Ziya?" ask Emperor Zue.
"It's a little boring but it's not a big deal. I only need to wait for twenty minutes at most." Xiao Ziya replied with a flat-faced speech.
"Where did you get that wine? is there a waiter offering you food?." asked Emperor Zue as he gazed towards the bowl of purple-colored wine in Xiao Ziya's hand. He was very sure the kitchen maids were busy making snacks for the meeting later so it was very unlikely that they would go to the main hall to entertain the girl first.
"I have a garden so I can pick fruit whenever I want." replied Xiao Ziya.
"Ah I forgot about it, make yourself comfortable because maybe they are still on the way" said Emperor Zue.
After waiting for approximately twenty minutes finally the seven clan chiefs summoned by Emperor Zue came, some of them showed worried expressions as they made Xiao Ziya wait for a long time. The list of clans present today were the Wei Clan, the Zou Clan, the Ye Clan, the Ling Clan, the Ming Clan, the Zong Clan, and the Luo Clan. They were part of the eight core clans that existed in the Qiyu Empire region, of course the Xiao Clan was not on the invitation list due to the issues that would be discussed regarding the clan.
"Please sit in your respective places" said Emperor Zue, he began to give directions to representatives of each clan who came.
Fourteen people sat according to the name on the chair, after which Emperor Zue sat beside Xiao Ziya and allowed the girl to open and lead the way of the meeting today. Xiao Ziya got up from his seat, he placed the bowl containing the wine on the chair then stood facing everyone present.
"Good morning everyone sorry because I have disrupted your activities on this sunny morning, it's nice to meet you guys after all this time" Xiao Ziya said with a thin smile that seemed graceful.
"For Miss Xiao Ziya as well, we are delighted to be present at this meeting. May you always be blessed by the Creator of the Universe." replied the fourteen people present at the meeting simultaneously.
"There are some important things I will tell you all, you must be wondering why the leader of the Xiao Clan is not here and am I their representative? of course not. I have officially given full authority to Xiao Ciyun to run the Xiao Clan according to his wishes, the man started to go crazy with the power he had to greatly interfere with my daily life. The reason I gathered all of you here is because I want to inform you about the revocation of my power and responsibilities to the Xiao Clan, whatever happens to the clan, I will not interfere until a new agreement is established" Xiao Ziya said with a calm face. The representative of the seven great clans looked surprised after hearing the explanation from Xiao Ziya, what Xiao Ciyun had done to cause the great miss to be so angry.
"Xiao Ciyun said that he does not need me and can overcome every problem that comes. Let him be aware of what kind of role I have been doing all this time for the Xiao Clan and what the clan would be like without me." replied Xiao Ziya.
"It seems the leader of the Xiao Clan started to be big-headed and considered him the most powerful. I still remember well that the position was given by you." Luo Lu said with a sharp gaze, he planned to break off cooperation with the Xiao Clan if Miss Ziya's influence was no longer present.
"He was too comfortable sitting in the leader's chair to be unaware of the important role of others." - timpal Zong Nan by rolling his eyeballs and showing an annoyed expression.
"So you can make a decision from now on, whether you want to continue cooperation with the Xiao Clan or break that cooperation until I appoint a new leader later" Xiao Ziya said. The girl planned to dethrone Xiao Ciyun from her position as clan leader after the matter was over.
"We will revoke the cooperation with the Xiao Clan" Ye Yang'er said firmly. He could not accept that Miss Ziya was badly needed by the leader of the Xiao Clan.
"It is better that you choose your father as the new leader, I'm sure Mr. Xiao Cunyu will continue to be on the right path. All this time he had managed to educate his son into a great person." Ming Guen suggested, he would fully support the Xiao Clan if Xiao Cunyu were to occupy the position of clan leader.
"Master Xiao Cunyu is the best candidate the Xiao Clan has, you better consider our advice Miss Ziya" Zou Jingli said.
Xiao Ziya was cravings for a while, there were two of the best candidates he had right now namely the father and also Xiao Yuza. Both of them were people with a formidable stance, but if considered further there was still a slight possibility that Xiao Yuza would betray him one day because they did not have a strong blood relation. It seemed like the father was the only candidate Xiao Ziya had at low risk, though, Ziya also believes that the other clan leaders will not object to the appointment of the father to be the clan leader and he also needs to appoint a new clan head.
"I agree with your suggestion, my father will occupy the position of the next clan leader. For this matter only we know it should not leak into the ears of others." said Xiao Ziya who was giving a warning to everyone present at the meeting.
"We understand Miss Ziya" the fourteen replied in unison. No one dared to deny the orders of the girl because they each wanted to live in the world.
"Sorry Miss Ziya, I heard that Mr. Xiao Ciyun raised a princess with an older age than you. Has he asked the other clan chief for permission?." asked Ling An who was curious about the appointment of Xiao Ciyun's daughter.
"No, Xiao Ciyun did it without asking for the approval of the other chairman because he felt that his position was the highest and had the right to do anything. You better not get involved with his adopted daughter named Yungha, she is very noisy, annoying, shameless, and stubborn" Xiao Ziya said with overflowing emotions. Everyone could sense the atmospheric changes occurring within the main hall.
"Well it seems that the girl has provoked Miss Ziya's anger, she must have gotten a bad ending" Ye Ruo said, Xiao Ziya's actions on everyone who was bothering her were extremely cruel. Almost all have suffered grievous deaths.
After the long conversation was almost over, Emperor Zue asked the servants to bring the snacks they had made into the main hall. A dozen servants came carrying a tray full of snacks and fresh drinks, the snacks were neatly arranged on each table of the clan representatives who came.
"Please enjoy the dishes we prepared for all of you. Once again I thank him for his willingness to attend this meeting." Xiao Ziya said with a big smile. He walked up to his chair and sat there, eating some of the remaining wine.
The fourteen clan representatives enjoyed the food prepared for them, some clan leaders stole a glance towards Xiao Ziya and tagged if the girl became their son-in-law. On the other hand the current atmosphere within the Xiao Clan was kept calm and safe, there were no fights going on between members like before.
Tok tok tok tok
The sound of the workroom doors of the clan heads being knocked by someone. Some of the chiefs who were finishing their tasks looked at each other, who was the guest that came? isn't Miss Ziya currently in the Qiyu Imperial Palace?. Xiao Xiling allowed the person outside to go inside, they showed a shocked and lazy expression after seeing Xiao Yungha coming over. What other commotion did the girl want to create by coming to their work space directly.
"I would like to meet Uncle Xiao Cunyu" Xiao Yungha said in a stern tone, the girl has very bad etiquette.
"I'm sorry before I was never your uncle. What is Miss Yungha looking for me?." replied Xiao Cunyu with a flat gaze, Xiao Cunyu sat on the work chair that was right beside Xiao Ziya.
"Ah it turns out you're here. Please match me with your son Xiao Xun. I fell in love with her at first sight, You definitely know the consequences that will be received if you reject this request of mine." Xiao Yungha said with a sly smile. He should be able to obtain Xiao Xun at all costs.
"I don't want to have a daughter-in-law like you, after all my son is not interested in a bad ethical girl." Xiao Cunyu replied with a sharp look. How could he let his son fall into the hands of this crazy girl.
