The sun's golden rays bathed the elven queendom of Elastina, casting a warm glow upon its ethereal architecture. Within the heart of the elven city, the Great Hall stood as a testament to the grandeur and wisdom of the Elven Queen, Tisha.

As the rumours of a council began to spread, anticipation and curiosity hung in the air, intermingling with the fragrant scent of blossoming flowers.

It took them a few days to get here, and it would have taken even more time If Nikol personally didn't teleport them, as the distance between the land was not something that can be ignored.

Within the dimly lit chamber, Nikol stood before a large, ornate table, maps and parchments spread out before him. His sharp violet eyes glimmered with determination, and a sense of purpose radiated from his every pore.

The arrival of the queens from distant lands had sparked his imagination, and he could almost taste the possibilities that lay ahead.

As the hour drew near, a hushed excitement permeated the air. The Elven Queen, Tisha, clad in resplendent robes woven with materials that looked like moonlight and stardust, entered the Great Hall, her presence commanding attention and respect.

Unlike her real personality most of the time, she looked a lot more regal and proud, as she wanted to behave properly so she won't become a black mark in the history and legacy of the elves.

Beside her, Nikol stood tall, his gaze fixed on the entrance waiting for the important part of this council.

As the representation of humans. Usha and Eva both joined, as both of them decided to make the decisions collectively instead of giving the authority to one group, which might affect the future and give birth to many problems if they didn't deal with it properly.

Moments later, the grand doors swung open, revealing a procession of regal figures, each representing their respective races.

First came Queen Leona of the Beastkin Queendom, her strong features etched with wisdom earned through countless battles. In her embrace was a little baby that looked no different to her with hair already growing up, even though the child was only just a few weeks old.

"So that's her!" Tisha said as she looked at the child and then Nikol. "Looks like the next leader of the beastkin will also be a woman,"

"Well, their rules are different, their leadership is decided by a tournament, so it can be any of my children," Nikol answered her and smiled at Leona.

Next came the Queen of the ruler of the Mystical sea, her flowing robes shimmering with the colours of the ocean depths. After Leviathan left them without saying anything, she took over the sea again even with all the backlash she got because of what happened. But with her power not being second to anyone, she managed to stabilise the kingdom quickly without leaving a single person starving.

When Nikol first visited them for the second time, he was not welcomed by her, but after showing her importance and how he wants to genuinely help them, she decided to take the offer and become part of the plan instead of speed-running the destruction of their sea.

Lastly, Demon Queen of the Demon Queendom glided forward, her face flushed and her dress fluttering with otherworldly grace. And as soon as she saw Nikol, she quickly covered her crotch area remembering the insane amount of pleasure and humiliation, she had to go through after she challenged Nikol to a battle.

"Ugh~ don't, stop reacting to him, idiot, why are you acting all shy even though he humiliated you?" She muttered to herself causing Leona to grin at her.

"How far the mighty demon queen had fallen, at least hold your child properly," Seeing Demon Queen waving her child all around the place, Leona said and proceeded followed by the other races and their leaders like lamia, dryads and all the other remaining races.

Tisha greeted each queen with a warm smile and a gesture of respect.

"Welcome, esteemed queens and leaders, to the Council of Our Land. We stand united today, bound by the shared purpose of shaping a brighter future for all our realms." Tisha said and pointed at Nikol.

"The bond that we all share has brought us together as the sisters of the same man to discuss things and lead our future in a better path,"

Queen Leona of the Beastkin Queendom nodded, her voice resonating with authority. "Queen Tisha, your invitation is a testament to your vision and courage. We come with open minds and willing hearts to forge alliances that will withstand the tests of time."

Nikol, his voice steady with determination, stepped forward. "Ladies, let us commence the council, where ideas shall intertwine like the branches of the ancient Tree of the Heaven, so take your seats and be comfortable, you can hand over your children to our maids, they will take care of them for now."

He was professional right now, and just what everyone needed because none of them wanted to see him trying to favour one woman in general.

With those words, the Council of the land began, their voices rising and falling like the harmonies of a celestial symphony. In that hallowed chamber, the queens and their advisors engaged in passionate debates, sharing knowledge, and envisioning a future where the races would stand side by side, stronger together.

And as the council continued, the whispers of hope echoed through the elven queendom, spreading beyond its borders and captivating the hearts.

First, they discuss the current incident of darkness and what caused it and without any lies, Nikol revealed to them everything from heaven to what happened.

All the women except those who already knew about these things, had their eyes and mouth wide open with space enough for a insect to fly and make a living in that place.

"All that happened? And we didn't even know about them?" Demon Queen muttered as she realised how stupid and helpless she is. While she was battling with others trying to take the easy path, other people were trying their best to make things right and it frustrated her a lot.

"Past is past! Don't think about what you did in past or your mistakes, just focus on the future," Nikol said looking at her and all the other depressed leaders and queens. "Threat is still there, and I just recently felt it, but the place I killed Jormungand, it's slowly corrupting the forest making all the monsters worse than they already are,"

Nikol said as he thought about what he saw when he visited the place so he can find some more pieces of evidence.

Nikol shared the evidence he had gathered during his recent visit to the site where Jormungand was slain.

He presented maps and observations, illustrating the gradual corruption of the forest and the escalating danger it posed to their lands. He emphasized the urgency of finding a solution and restoring balance to the affected area.

"But we won't face this challenge alone," Nikol continued, his voice infused with a sense of unity.

"Together, as leaders and queens, we have the power to forge alliances, gather resources, and pool our knowledge. We will assemble a team of experts, mages, and warriors to counteract the corruption and restore peace to our lands."

Nikol's words ignited a spark within the gathered leaders and queens. They began to see the potential for redemption, a chance to rectify their past mistakes and protect their kingdoms. At that moment, they knew this was a chance to lift the weight of their failures, replaced by a renewed determination to safeguard their people and their homelands.

"Well that's that, and so now let's talk about the future,"

This was the next most interesting topic for them, as they wanted to know how he is going to live from now and where he will living. Some of them even wanted to ask permission to move into elven queendom or close, so they can frequently visit Nikol.

"And no, I won't allow any of you to move here permanently, and that's exactly the reason why I asked the queens and leaders to visit me,"

Nikol knew filling Tisha's important home with random races and completely erasing the legacy of the elven land won't be a good thing, so he decided to do the next best thing.

"I will move places and will build and ring for every race leader, which has the authority to enter it, don't worry, as long as you give permission other girls will also be able to come," Nikol said, as Tisha was still shocked hearing this news.

'Is he going to leave here? I- I don't want that

She thought to herself but she decided to listen to the full story before coming to a conclusion.

"In the middle of this land, I will build my home with my own power, I won't stay there, but if you use this ring to let me know, that you're coming, I will meet you," He took a ring that had a violet gem on it and showed it to the others, which captured their eyes as soon as they saw how gorgeous and beautiful it was.
