Chapter 7: Elderly Negotiation

Start from the beginning
                                    

It was the False Goddess, Salem. 

"Speaking of which, do you know how Arcadia was even brought into existence?" Issei nodded as he responded to Invictus's question. 

"Yes, yes I do, they were created by the Four Founders, Anastasia, Apricity, Aurelia and Aurora Arc, they made Arcadia, and they were the reason why this kingdom even exists today." Invictus nodded as he continued. 

"I see...so you are well versed with this place and its historical culture..." Invictus and Issei were heading to the cafeteria, when someone teleported right in front of them, the duo recognised the person to be the Empress herself. 

"Hello, Issei...Invictus..." Juniper greeted the two, as both bowed in front of her, Juniper then spoke with a sigh. 

"How many times, have I told you, you needn't bow in front of me, Issei?" Issei realised this and rubbed his head, as Juniper looked at Invictus and spoke, 

"You must be Invictus right? It is finally nice to meet you in person..." Invictus respectfully responded to the Empress. 

"Indeed, it is Empress Arc.." Juniper nodded with a smile, as she looked at Issei and spoke.

"Anyways....do you have a moment?" Issei and Invictus were both surprised, she wondered what the Empress wanted with Issei, as he asked

"What is the matter, Empress?" Juniper's expression soon changed into a worried one as she looked at Issei and spoke. 

"The Elder Arcs would want to have a word with you..." Invictus and Issei looked at Juniper in shock, they never thought that the Elder Arcs would like to talk with Issei. But they did not understand why they wanted to talk with Issei. They had no choice but to talk with the Elder Arcs.
