The Fox Goddess



"What do you mean by reclaiming what we have lost?" Mirel confusedly asked as he still didn't get what Yuki meant by her words and just as she was about to sigh in disappointment after seeing how dumb all of them were. She saw Lian who was silent the all time begin to mutter words to herself and being proficient in reading lips, she could understand clearly what she was trying to say, and after reading what she was muttering, a smile couldn't help but form on her beautiful lips.

"Father! I think I know what Yuki is trying to tell us, it is exactly what she said. If we do things correctly we can reclaim everything that we have lost to them. Fame, Land, Power, and everything else that they have taken from us!" Lian said confidently as she even looked at Yuki for a few seconds and after seeing a positive sign from her, her smile deepened as she felt proud to herself that for once she finally understood one of Yuki's words.

"It's good that you understand what I meant. Remember this, it might seem petty or even a bit harsh if we don't help the Human Race, though if you think like that you are pretty weak. Why should you care about them if they don't even care about us? They treat the Beast Race like shit, so just ask yourself this. Why bother caring about them?" Yuki asked with a curious look on her face, She then wanted all of them to answer her question but just as she expected none of them could answer her question. She then sighed and opened her mouth to explain some things to them.

"The answer is already very simple… It's no, you shouldn't even care for them, even if they are on the brink of destruction or not. I can tell that in your little hearts, your kind-hearted personality wants to help them. But that is just wrong, they don't need your help, it's simply pathetic if you help them. As for the reason why… They simply don't deserve them and if I was in your position, I couldn't care less even if a huge fraction of their Kingdom dies, I don't care if innocent people die. Because simply… It is their fault. They reap what they sow." Yuki laughed to herself as she added even more ridicule on the Human Race which made some of them slightly uncomfortable.

"What do they call it again? Oh yes, that's right. Karma's a bitch~" Yuki smiles with a playful tone in her voice as she casually sips the tea that has been brought by Asuka. As she then put back the teacup on the table, her smile already disappeared as it was not replaced with her cold and indifferent look.

"Look… I don't care what you do in this Kingdom anymore, it's not my problem anymore. But as a farewell gift for all of you, I'm going to give you some logical insights on this matter. If you went ahead with the plan of the Grand Elder, I can confidently say this, your Kingdom will fall. It will fall into ruins, there are a lot of reasons for this, and Yumie has already given it out to you. If those things really choose to not stop with just the Human Kingdom, they will go to another Kingdom and wreak havoc, let's say that those things did stop and were killed by the Humans, but I'm sure all of you will lose a lot of valuable people that would make you vulnerable. And… I don't need to ask what is going to happen to you because you can already guess it, but if not. Those Humans would terrorize your land to get some resources back since they don't have enough to rebuild what they have lost…" Yuki crossed her legs as she looked at all of them for a few seconds before continuing.

"Now, let's say that you follow what Yumie said, which was to do nothing. You will benefit a lot more and more importantly, there are going to be fewer risks in it. And if you are nervous that the Human Kingdom would attack for resources and be petty about it, I can assure you that that is not going to happen. They are now lacking reinforcement since they used all of it to eradicate all those things, so of course they are not going to take any more risk than they already had. If you do this, you can even try to invade the Human Kingdom to take back the lands that you have once lost from them and if you're going to ask, isn't that more risky?" Since she didn't want any of them to doubt, she answered her own question to make it more believable.

"Well, the answer is yes and no. Yes because the other Race is also going to fight for it and no since they would most likely ignore all of you since they look down on you. But they wouldn't expect for the Beast Race to have such a capable army, right? Plus, the Human Kingdom would likely fall in the following years. I just asked one of my people to check the situation, and they said that the relentless attacks have stopped, but they already destroyed 10% of the Human Kingdom. But I don't think that is the end of it, most likely they are going to attack again." Yuki explained patiently to all of them. This was the crucial moment to set her plans, of course, she was not going to let anything stop her from achieving her goals.

"Now, what will you choose? Fight right now or wait until the right moment? You can think about it, there is still a lot of time. You can give your answer at the farewell party." Yuki simply left them with a question as she left the room to find the two, She already got what she wanted from the Human Kingdom anyway which was 10% of their lands and people, and it was enough of a sacrifice already.

That is why she stopped those Ice Creatures from attacking anymore and left them with an order to attack every Month. She's going to give them the slow kind of death and pain.

"I didn't expect it to be enough already, but I guess it saves me a lot of trouble. Now… time to revive that woman for Aika." Yuki muttered coldly as she strode off towards the room where Aika and Amane were residing and without wasting any more time she entered the room, and found the two to actually be sleeping together. She merely chuckled and grabbed a chair before sitting on Aika's side.

She merely watches there with a gentle smile on her face, seeing how Aika sleeps so peacefully and happily brings happiness in her heart. There is nothing in this world that she wouldn't do just to see that smile on her face.

"Once Amane gets better, I'll send Aika to be with her for a few years. They need their own time anyway, plus this way Aika can be more independent now that I'll be gone by her side. She'll get even stronger when I meet her again…" Yuki said with a heavy voice, she simply wants the best of herm and this was one of the best choices that she can make. Doing it would benefit a lot, especially in the long run, because in the current situation, Aika was simply too dependent on her and her Sisters which she doesn't like. It's fine right now since she's still a kid, but when she grows up, she doesn't want her to be still the same.

That's why leaving her with just Amane for a few years would be good since there would be just one person by her side. Plus she going to instruct Amane to train her hard so that she can be stronger, though what she mainly wants Aika to train is her Time Manipulation, and the best teacher for that is her own Mother since she inherited it from her.
