Liu Feng left the room, leaving the elves flaming. A few elves tried to stop him, but Liu Feng disappeared, and reappeared at the entrance. The elves were dumbstruck. Meanwhile, back in the room,
"How the hell did he know that you were the contract holder of the Queen of Air? And he is a spirit holder himself? Bullshit. Talk to your spirit. Talk to her, ask her if what he said was true. Today, I will hunt him myself."
Amelia was struggling to concentrate with her father rambling, and she was trying to speak to the Queen. Suddenly, a communication stone on the table lit up.
The king of Elvan took it up, and activated it.
"Damascus! It looks like you really are begging for it. You are in my territory and you dare to threaten my son? My kingdom? You better have an explanation for this."
Damascus was flabbergasted. "He was really your son? I just thought he called my bluff and went along with it, but he is really your son? Damn, he got me in this round."
"What are you talking about? I am a busy man. I don't have time to roll around and bully children. He is just eleven for god's sake. He is traumatized now. What did you do to him?"
Damascus laughed out. "Just eleven? Traumatized? That's how he'll play this? Fine. I will compensate for this. I will double this year's shipment of magical artifacts."
"Good. I hope that this does not happen. Oh yeah, another thing. He said something about Alderan having to stay in his room for protection or something. Well whatever. Good that it's all sorted."
Damascus laughed in a deranged way. "Now you will take a hostage, Liu Feng? Eleven years my foot. This is a veteran at play here. How did you teach your son Liu Man?"
Amelia suddenly shouted, "Father, the Queen has heard me, she is speaking. Quiet."
Amelia had sweat forming on her forehead, as she heard what the Queen said. Her face paled and she whispered out, "No. This can't be possible."
"What happened Amelia?"
"The Queen said that I must not fight against Liu Feng, as it would be a disagreement with a bet she had with the King of Fire spirits. She also told me not to mess with him, as he is doing something for the spirits. Father, the Queen is ordering YOU to APOLOGIZE to Liu Feng!"
"Impossible. I may have lost this round, but I am still a King. I will never apologize to that brat. He seems to be my doomed rival."
Liu Feng sneezed again, and thought about what happened. He did feel bad about the happenings of the meeting.
"I will need the elves on my side if the demon thing is even a possibility.", he thought to himself, talking out loud.
"Yes that's it!", he took his communication stone again, and drew a magical circle on it, and reactivated it.
After a while, the communication stone in the meeting room rang again. "What is it now?", Damascus shouted at the stone.
"Well aren't you in a bad mood? Well my son came up with a way to manage this dispute with no harm to any of the kingdoms.", Liu Man said.
"Well, on with it."
"This is embarrassing. He asked you to betrothe Amelia with him next year."
