Fairy Tail: Transformation Mage - Volume 1 Chapter 29 Meeting With The Ministers

Irene who was called by one of the ministers for the meeting was walking towards the hall while thinking of the possible matters that might involve her.

On the way she met some maids and other workers who bowed their heads to which she replied to their greetings.

Once she came close to the hall which was made so that even two or three dragons can enter the hall.

A dragon who was standing as a guard along with a human soldier bowed their heads and then the dragon pushed the door open while the soldier announced her arrival.

Irene then entered the hall and was greeted by a sight of ministers sitting around the table and three dragon standing in the hall with Belserion being behind the seat where Irene was supposed to sit.

All of them bowed their heads once they saw her enter the room and then Irene ordered them to raise their heads and then went ahead and took her seat after which the others took their seats as well.

Irene then glanced at one of the ministers who on noticing her gaze nodded and then stood up and started the meeting.

——————–

During the meeting the minister preciding over it looked at the dragons and said, “So what does the dragons have in their mind regarding this matter. As you all must be knowing that you all are our main fighting forces against those dragons. Of course the fact that there are dragon slayers as well but….. you know that you all are still our best forces.”

One of the dragons who was in the room nodded his head and said, “I am truly honoured by the praise and the faith that you have in us dragons but I shall say it even though we have power of both the dragons and the humans, dragon slayers included, we still cannot make preparations without knowing what our enemy is planning or at the very least what is the situation out there with the kingdoms where those dragons have already attacked.”

The other dragon nodded his head as well and said, “I agree with him as well. No matter how much we prepare the fact that their numbers far exceeds ours is still there. So it might be very helpful if we can know of the situation beforehand.” and then glanced towards Belserion.

All of the others followed their gazes to Belserion as well seeing which Irene said, “Belserion what information did you get from your espionage mission. How is the situation of the kingdoms where they were attacked.”

Belserion then said, “Well you all are seeing the condition that I am in so you all must have already guessed how dangerous the situation is. These amount of injuries and that too at an espionage mission…..I guess you can imagine how an all out war with those mad Dragons is going to result.”

All of them then noticed Belserion’s body intently and saw a lot of wounds and even some blood coming out from his scales. There were also a lot of scratches all over his body.

Seeing all that the ministers and the dragons frowned then the dragon who first started talking said, “Belserion, I will be straightforward, do you think that we have a chance to fend of those dragons if they come to attack us.” and then all of them looked at Belserion intently.

Belserion stared back at the dragon for a while and then released a sigh, “I hate to admit this but the best that could possibly happen is that, by using all our forces we might be able to somehow manage the situation and that too only if the dragons attack from only one side. Of they were to surround the kingdom…..”

All of them then got tense and then started thinking of some countermeasures but none came to their minds.

Belserion then said, “Not to mention that there are the allied kingdoms who are planning to attack us once our guard loosens up a bit. We have also heard that they too have one or two dragons on their side. They will be troublesome as well.”

Irene then slams her fist on the table and then said, “Just why can’t they understand that it is not the time to fight among ourselves. Don they believe that after entering a war they will have enough forces to fend of against the dragons. Ughhh…. If it was possible I want to destroy them.”

She then clenched her fist and gritted her teeth but soon calmed herself down and then said, “I am sorry for showing something disgraceful to you all.”

The ministers and dragons then shook their heads and then Belserion said, “No need to worry Irene we all feel the same as you, even if we are not voicing it out but still..”

The others nodded their heads as well but then one of the ministers said, “Ummm…..If my memory serves me right, i guess there is still a neighbouring kingdom out there which have still not been in alliance with the rest, right? Why don’t we form and alliance with them. I heard that they don’t have the protection of Dragons but with just their military they were able to fend off the attacks of other kingdoms.”

The other ministers and even Irene then perked up and looked towards the minister who said that.

Another minister then said, “Hmm…. I think that the name of the kingdom was the kingdom of Adroelia. I have even heard that despite being just normal soldiers their army was able to take down a pair of Dragons on their own, though there were casualties but the fact that such a feat was possible…their army is strong. They have quite a few powerful mages as well. Why don’t we try to for an alliance with them. Even if they cannot stand beside our own forces at the very least they might be able to fend off those allied kingdoms.”

The others nodded their heads as well and then one of them said, “And if some of them were capable of becoming dragon slayers then it will be in our favour as well.”

All of them then started discussing about a way to form an alliance with the kingdom of Adroelia.

Seeing that the minister that came to call Irene gave a fake cough to catch their attention and then said, “Umm….. I know that it is not a good time to say something like this but last night a messenger from the kingdom of Adroelia came and delivered a letter to us.”

Hearing that all of them perked up and the one of the minister said, “Hahaha so they themselves are aiming for an alliance, well what can we say our kingdom is one where the other tries to gain a favour by any means necessary. Well now we can act as a kind nation and take that kingdom unde-”

The minister was then interrupted by the minister who gave a fame cough earlier. The said minister then said with a frown on his face, “They are going to attack our kingdom by next week.”

And the whole room then got silent.
