Fairy Tail: Transformation Mage - Volume 1 Chapter 35 Irene Accepted 'unwillingly'

The next morning Zena and Irene came out of their room with dark circles under their eyes.

Zena looked at Irene and said, “Go through all the things that I taught you last night, I will ask you about them later.”

Irene looked at Zena and said, “I just want to ask you one thing? Why the hell do you have all those things written in form of books?”

Zena yawned and said, “Well, it had to be done, afterall i have to pass on my legacy to someone right?”

Irene stared at her for a while and then said, “Whatever, please inform someone to call all the ministers in the meeting hall in an hour.”

Zena looked surprised and then immediately went in her maid mode and said, “As you wish, Irene-sama. I will inform the other maid to prepare a bath and breakfast as well while I am at it.” and bowed her head and then went away.

Irene nodded and called a soldier to give her the reports about the current situation out there. and started going over it to give her opinions in the meeting.

——————–

In the meeting hall all the ministers and Dragons were present and were a bit surprised by the sudden notice but still knew that it must be important because of the current situation of the kingdom.

Irene then entered the hall and immediately the others stood up and bowed their heads to which Irene nodded her head as well and took her seat seeing which the others took their seats as well.

All of them started discussing about the actions that they should take for now and how to maintain the citizens from panicking.

They continued to discuss for a while and then Irene said with a serious expression on her face, “Regarding the peace treaty from Adroelia, I think that we should accept it.”

The whole hall turned silent as they were surprised on hearing Irene accepting the treaty as she was greatly opposed by the idea of accepting the treaty not even a day ago.

All the ministers and dragons gave it a thought and finally came to a conclusion that considering the current circ.u.mstances it is the best choice and nodded their heads but still showed concern on their faces for their queen.

Belserion who was standing behind Irene was looking at her intently and thought, ‘What is she planning? There is no way that she will readily accept it, Is someone controlling her or impersonating her? Or is she planning on setting them up by lowering their guard by pretending to accept the treaty.’

One of the ministers then said, “But Irene-sama are you really sure? Even though the gains are great for the kingdom, are you sure about it? You will have to marry an unknown individual for the alliance to go on. You were refusing to go with it yesterday? So is there a special reason for accepting it now?”

Irene looked towards the minister who asked this question and thought, ‘If I knew that it was Damian who wrote the letter I would have agreed even if the gains were not mentioned in the letter.’

Irene then made a determined expression and said, “I cannot be selfish in the current circ.u.mstances. The lives of the people of the kingdom is at stake and if by some chance I am able to save their lives then I am ready to do that, even if I have to sacrifice my self. I cannot put their lives on the line just because I don’t like something. Afterall I am their queen and their safety is my responsibility. Even if it hurts me I am willing to keep a stone on my heart and accept this for the betterment of our kingdom.”

Irene then closed her eyes and nodded her head and thought, ‘Hmm Hmm, this much must be enough for them to think that it was a logical response. The moral of the loyal people of the kingdom will rise as well. if they find their higher-ups sacrificing something for the kingdom. Hehehehe, I get to be with Damian without any problems from any side as well as the kingdom recieving support both physically(from the alliance agreement) and mentally(from the sacrifice of their queen to marry someone without her choice).’

All the minister and the two dragons in the room felt touched on seeing their queen sacrificing so much for their Kingdom and were even more motivated to protect the kingdom from anyone. They once again mentally swear to serve the kingdoms to their best and be of help to their queen.

While the others were having such thoughts there was one dragon who was looking at Irene with a shocked expression on his face.

Belserion’s eyes were widened and he thought, ‘There is something wrong here. This cannot be Irene. Irene would never accept such a choice. This girl must be an imposter. Who are you bitch? Where have you hidden Irene? It is better if you confessed now? We can at the very least let you live if no harm was done to the queen. Just so you know even if we are not able to identify who you really are, there is still someone who can tell. That Damian brat will come and with just a sniff of his nose he can tell whether you are Irene or not. And once he does, he will beat the hell out of you, so just spill it all out for your own self if you want to stay alive.’

Irene who felt Belserion’s gaze turned her head and looked at Belserion and said, “Is there something that you want to say Belserion?”

Belserion stared at Irene for a while and then said, “Are, Are you really sure that you want to go through with this?”

Irene just showed a sad smile and said, “This decision was hard for me as well, but like I said, if I were to get selfish at a time like this then the whole kingdom will be in danger. Don’t worry I will be fine, it’s just a marriage.” she then thought, ‘yeah it’s just a marriage… WITH MY DAMIAN THAT IS!!!! Don’t worry I will be completely fine going through with this. But wait a minute if it is true that we will be going to be married then after the marriage the night will come and we will have to do ‘that’, right? I mean isn’t this too soon, surely we have known eachother for a long time but we have not been in contact for a whole year, then…..then….then how can I let him hold my hand!!!!! No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No, whatever you say it is too shameful. Surely it will be fine if we were to hold it after we would have been in contact for a month at the very least, but doing it right away…. Will Damian do it with me?’

*Flashback of the camp they stayed in When they were in the forest. And the skin ship that they had a night ago*

A faint blush appeared on Irene’s face which was not visible to the others as her face was lowered a bit and was overshadowed by her hair. She then thought, ‘He will surely do that, or rather he may directly jump to the main course since he would be frustrated because of not being in contact with me for a year. It’s not like he would be taking our his frustration with some other female….., right?…..’

All of a sudden the aura around Irene started to get chaotic and her magic power started to get released unconciously.

Noticing that everyone got tensed especially the dragons as Irene was releasing a bit of her Dragon slaying aura as well.

Belserion looked at Irene and thought, ‘Who am I kidding? She really is Irene, looks like she finally was unable to hold back herself from letting it out for accepting the proposal.’

Belserion looked at his fellow dragons and nodded his head. The dragons who understood what he meant nodded their heads as well and lifted the still surprised ministers in their claws and left the meeting hall. Belserion gave one last glance at Irene and thought, ‘Don’t be too hard on yourself Irene, if you were to say then I would kill the one who will be marrying you after the alliance is formed.’ and then left the room.

Irene who didn’t notice the others leaving the room sat silently in her seat while all sorts of wild fantasies of other girls using Damian as their playthings played through her mind.

Irene then clenched her fists and thought, ‘Those p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es have some guys to seduce my Damian huh, looks like it would be better if I attack the kingdom who harbor such p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es instead of forming an alliance with them.’

Irene then calmed herself down and said, “Let’s leave it for now, I will ask him personally if someone did try to seduce him, and then will proceed to do the ‘justice’ with my own two hands. A queen shouldn’t be hasty, I should ask about this first and then take my time to give ‘justice’ to those wretches slowly and deeply.’ She then stood up from her seat and went to find Zena to ask her if she have the knowledge about ‘dealing’ with house wreckers or not?”
