Reincarnated As The Villainess's Son

Chapter 310  Heart Of Yggrisial [6] [Aetheria]

"The Solace Kingdom demands that the World Tree be handed over to the protection of the Demiurge."

A heavy, suffocating silence lingered within the hall.

Hayes's sapphire eyes scanned the room, his professional smile faltering ever so slightly as he registered everyone's glare at him.

"I'll take that as a humorless joke," Nerissa said, her chin resting on her hand, faint disdain in her voice.

"Regretfully, this is no joke," Hayes replied smoothly, forcing his smile to remain intact. "It is the sincere demand of the Solace Kingdom—"

"Then we can end this meeting right here," Nerissa cut into his words. "It's impossible. Handing over Yggdrasil to lesser beings is out of the question."

"Lesser beings?" Hayes tilted his head, feigning confusion.

"I was under the impression that you elves care more about Yggdrasil than your pride. Or am I mistaken?"

"It's been almost ten thousand years since we elves have been taking care of the World Tree," Mariam said, her voice calm yet oppressive.

"By handing over the World Tree, we will also lose the Tamriel Kingdom. You are asking too much here."

Hayes sighed deeply, even though he was trying to maintain his calm, deep down he was afraid of Mariam.

His gaze briefly shifted toward Himmel, who, oddly enough, wasn't focusing on him.

He was focused on the guards who had followed him.

"It seems I'll have to deliver some disappointing news to my king," Hayes said, not hiding his disappointment. "Nevertheless, let us proceed to our next demand."

His sharp eyes fixed on Narcos, seated at the center of the table. "We require the Aetheria artifact."

There wasn't much reaction from anyone.
