After the corrupt Elders were shut up by the other elders, Mikohi finally had ti to breathe again. It seems she has a hard ti trying to convince these annoying old n… the interesting thing is that all of them are n, the won are in her side, and these old n seem to not like her that much to begin with. It seems that having a female sect master goes against their stupid beliefs or sothing.
"You should discipline your elders a bit more, they shouldn't dare go against you this much. They might have power over so part of the sect but that doesn't an that they can act as if they were ordering you around, they're not your parents." I said.
"I know… I just… these Elders had always been against my position as a Sect Master, but it was bound to happen as the strongest of the Winter Lotus Family at Rank 4. I was also chosen by the dragon. You see. Since I was a child that they had always been against won becoming the sect master. My older brother used to be the person they were trying to help beco the sect master, but I was able to surpass him in cultivation speed and reached Rank 4 before him… Ah well, he's now missing and I don't even know where he went to… Since the war against the Jade Snakes that everything had been such a ss… These n here are just making things worse just because they still don't like ." She sighed.
"What? So these idiots really just don't like you because you're a woman? What's wrong with won being strong? are they retarded?" asked Benladann. She seed to want to give them a piece of her mind… and a few punches.
"Yeah, they're retarded. Mikohi you're amazingly strong, the strong always governs the weak, its normal for you to beco the sect master in this harsh world, your gender doesn't really say a thing about it." said Miranda.
"Indeed, they're just biased old n, probably they're salty that nurturing your brother ended in no results at the end… What baffles is that even after all this ti and the wars, they're still so unsupportive of you instead of trying to help you and everyone else so they can hang on the sect together. Almost as if they were traitorous and… would sell themselves off to the Dark Shadow Sect… Hmmm… Are you sure of their loyalty?" I asked.
"Eh?! T-They would never! I know all of them very well… They would never try to do such a thing! They had been protecting the sect since I was a baby… It would go against their very beliefs to try to sabotage the sect or treason it… It… It doesn't makes sense to ." Said Mikohi.
"I guess that's that, I can't go against your thoughts I suppose, but you shouldn't relax in front of those guys, they seem suspicious to to say the least… Even as Rank 4, there are many ways that low-ranked can damage you or do sothing to you. You're not invincible." I said.
"I-I guess you're right in that regard, Drake… But Tsukuyomi is protecting , so I trust him." said Mikohi. I guess she's very overconfident of her own strength and her dragon's power with this entire thing. I hope this doesn't end up biting her in the back when she least expects it.
"Hm, I see, I guess you're confident in your own strength in this regard, oh well, I was just trying to help you out, if you think that's the case then that's that. Anyways, I also plan in helping your sect with building resources, wood, tals, and all of that. I also thought about supplying you not only with food with armor and weapons, but probably potions also too and so things that alchemy can offer…" I said.
"S-So much help…?!" she asked.
"Yes, we should begin with repairing this temple, it is filled with holes and is rather unsightly to see. This is your residence so you must keep it pretty and clean." I said.
"B-But Drake-sama, what you've offered is already enough… W-Why do you need to help us so much? I-I know you're generous and gentle-hearted, but this is… it pains to think that you cannot take as a bride, I would gladly marry such a generous man!" said Mikohi, looking at with puppy eyes. She was very desperate for for so reason, but I had to resist, I don't want any won more than what I already have. Miranda was already unexpected and I don't want more than this if possible, I had already turned down two, and with her, three, so let's keep increasing the count instead of reducing it.
"No thanks… And well, what I want in exchange is very simple. I want your sect to… well, make an Alliance with and beco part of my Empire. I am also a sect master, but I've begun to make my own Empire that covers large areas of this continent, I had begun with the Ice Moon Sect, but I also want to add your sect into my property. This will bring you all the benefits I told you about, and more, you just simply have to join in my crusade, and I will help your people survive and your legacy continue for many generations." I said.
"E-Empire?!" gasped Mikohi.
All the other Elders were losing their shit, even the ones supporting her.
"W-what?!"
"An empire?!"
"You're trying to conquer our sect!"
"So that's what his intention this entire ti!"
"My lady, this is not right! We can't give up our sect to him…"
"We'll lose everything if we beco part of an Empire, all our possessions, our legacy, our everything…!"
"No… I accept. Drake, please. What do I need to sign? I believe this is the best… for my people. I want them all to flourish and survive, I cannot possibly let them die out of selfishness for rejecting such a good opportunity… I believe my ancestor would had done the sa in my situation. She was a strong woman that knew how to take the right decisions." Said Mikohi.
"Excellent! You will never regret this decision, Mikohi." I said.
