Well enough.

It takes you like 20 minutes to describe everything Edward wishes to know about monster taming magic. He dose seem quite worried that to use the promote spell, you need civalian monsters of the same species living under your rule. He worries that if he gives you everything you need to be a great monster tamer, that you will 1 day become a rival rather then remain his general.

Surrounding your carriage is knights on horse's acting as the king and your bodyguards. Behind you is another carriage with prostitutes inside to help you with your condition. Every 3 hours you have to stop your conversations with the king and have everyone stop so you can switch carriages. This annoys the knights and the carriage drivers, but Edward dose find it funny.

After 3 days of casual chatting with you, his smile starts becoming less of an act. In fact it seems to be a relief to him that he can make at least a small connection with you.

Eventually you make it to the outskirts of the centaur kingdom. It's close enough to there main teratory that there fastest warriors can provide reinforcements within 24 hours, yet far enough from any human centelment that even the fastest human domesticated horses wouldn't be able to reach hear for at least 3 days. The perfect location to diswade Edward from a betrayal. The centaur queen must be quite the stratagist.

You are watched as you, the king and half the knights walk to the meeting spot. The other half stay behind to protect the carrages and prostitutes. You and Edward enter a tent with a sound proof barrier around it. You learned about this spell during your rulership classes. You can hear anything going on outside the feild as if it wasn't there, but no 1 can hear a word from inside the tent. You hear 1 of the knights cast a spell. Detect Danger. You've never heard of this spell before, but you asume by the name it will allow the knights to know if there is danger even though they can't hear or see anything in the tent.

You look at the end of this big tent and see a dark skinded beauty of a centaur with snow white hair. Thanks to your Know Strengths and Weaknesses passive, you get a good look at her stats. They are massive. You are in shock when you see she is Hydoria, the first creature to pray to a god. She is older then human kind itself.

Edward frowns at her. "My eldist son invited many of your people to his wedding. He was rewarded by being slain, many of his closest friends being slain and all the women at his wedding being kidnapped. I am not happy." You are shocked. You had no idea Edwards eldist son is dead. The queen bows her head in what apears to be genuin shame. "They are a disgrace to all centaurs. Being drunk is no excuse for such actions. I assure you, they are being hunted down by my best trackers like the dogs they are. Once caught they will be put to **** and the women will be returned to you."

Edward continues to frown. "You will allow me to send my own detectives and warriors to help find the missing women and bring justice to my sons killers." She nods. "Of course. To deny a parent vengeance for there childs killer is unexecptable. You have my full consent to send who ever you think necessary to help find them."

His frown turns into a smile. "Good to hear. Now that that nastiness is out of the way. It is good to see you again Hydoria." She smiles back. "It is good to see you aswell my friend." Her smile turns into shock as she scene's the monster taming magic inside your magic seed. She looks to Edward with a worried face. "I assume talking about what happened at the wedding is not the only reason you wish to speak to me."

He nods. "Have you considerd my request to marry me and join my harem? To join human and centaur as 1 kingdom where both our kinds work together as equals?" Yes there is a human queen, but she is only the first woman to join his harem. He has many lover's but so far all of them are human women.

She looks down sadly. "Marrying you would be wonderful and even though humans are weak creatures, I have come to learn that all creatures deserve equality despite how strong or weak they are. However I am in the middle of a civil war. 3 rivals beleaves they would make better leaders then me. They have convinced many centaurs that I have grown soft in my old age and am no longer fit to lead. If I marry you and **** them to treat weaker creatures as equals, that number of centaurs that believe this will skyrocket and join my rivals. So for now I must play the part of only being at peace with humans. Nothing more."

He sighs. "Then I must play the roll of a king who wishes for nothing but to use the centaur races streangth to fight for my a weak people. Shall we begin this charade my love?" She shakes her head. "I wish I could keep this hope that some day we could be together, but the bigotry in my people runs so deep. I don't believe we could ever truly be together. So I must regrettable state that I can't see you as more then just a friend." He sighs in sadness. "Very well my friend, let us barry our feelings for the sake of our people." You wish you had snacks while watching this soup opera.

She gives him a stern look. "I warn you, there is only so much I can give you depending on your price." He nods. "The Feild of the Setting Sun." Her horse ear perks up. He continues. "Galeon, 1 of the first 5 monster tamers took it from your people. If this deal gos though, I will give you the Feild of the Setting Sun as well as the money I offer. I will give you 50 000 platinum for a full army of rookie centaur warriors and 1000 civilian centaurs to become citizens of the human kingdom.

If these rookie warriors do well, I will pay another 30 000 platinum for a full army of expired centaur warriors.

If these experienced centaur warriors do well, I will go to war with any single race that is an enemy of yours in return for upgrading this peace agreement to a full blown military alience."

She shakes her head. "Absolutely not. A full army of expirenced centaur warriors would be worth far more then that, let alone all those add ons. My people will suspect us for sure if I accepted such an uneaven deal." Uneaven deal? 2 armys and 1000 civilian centaurs are only worth 30 000 platinum at most. The extra 50k+ all that land is increadably generous. She is truly overestimating her people if she beleaves that wasn't a good enough offer.

You see a pained look in Edwards eyes as he hears her say this. "Then how about you tell me what would be a better deal for the centaurs." She nods. "Lets go for the best part of your deal. If you agree to go to war with the harpys, I will gladly upgrade our peace treaty to a military alliance." Edwards sighs. "I love you. I would gladly kill those who would do you and your people harm. However first and foremost I am a king. So unless the soliders I buy from you can change the tide of our war with the rouge goblin tribes, I cannot afford to start another war. Especially with a race as a whole rather then a rouge tribe who broke off from there kingdom."

She nods. "I feel the same. I would gladly crush those rouge goblins for you if it wouldn't tip off my feelings for you to my people. We can postpone that deal until your kingdom is in a more secure position. Now about the Feild of the Setting Sun. I want it for free, right now. Even if I don't sell you a single solider to be tamed, give me the field as a show of loyalty to the centaurs." He grunts. "Very well."

He sends a messenger pigeon to all the nobles living in the Feild of th Setting Sun to take all there belongs and there peasents to the captital so they can wait to be relocated. He doesn't tell them he gave away this land for free. She also send a messenger pigeon to her people, telling them to create new settlements in the land she just got for free. This gives her people added confidence in there queens negotiating skills and now understand how much the human king wants to make this peace treaty into something more. Now many more centaurs are open to the idea.

She continues. "As for selling you my people, it would be a different story I was renting them out temporarily as mercenaries. However once I sell them to you, I'm never getting them back. They will either become permanent citizens of the human kingdom or they will betray you and as such betray my direct orders, becoming fugitives of the centaur kingdom. As such for 100 000 platinum, I will give you 1 rookie squad and 2 expirenced squads. Nothing more."

You speak up. "Absolutely not. I need at least 100 civilians not only under my comand, but happy while under my comand and able to govern themselves while I am gone at war. If I don't have that, I wont be able to do even the lowest form of the Promote spell. It will take nearly 20 years of the soliders you give me to breed each other and raise there children to be civilians for those conditions to be met. Nearly 20 years of not fighting."

She is surprised by your outburst. "My my, I wasn't expecting to hear you speak until after these deals where over. I am Hydoria. I was good friends with the monster tamer that came before. I hope we can be friends aswell." You blush. "I'm Richard. I hope we can be friends aswell." The centaur queen sighs. "I knew she had civilian monsters tamed but she never told me they where necessary for the Promote spell. Very well. 1 squad of rookie warriors, 2 squads of expirenced warriors and 100 civilian for 100 000 platinum. Do we have a deal Edward?"

He shakes his head. "I really can't spend more the 80k. As for the deal at least let Richard have a full army. How about 8 squad of rookies and 12 squads of expirenced warriors." She shakes her head. "Edward, I would make every centaur alive fight to protect you and your people if my people wouldn't revolt if I did such a thing. I'll drop the price to 80K but I won't up the number's."

You butt in again. "Can you add 1 extra rookie? Not 1 extra squad, 1 individual. That way I can cast the the Designate Hero spell on 1 and still have a full squad." She nods. "Very well. What do you say Edward?" He scratches his chin as he thinks. "If all the solders I am buying are futa's, its a deal. Futa's are 20% stronger then male's. Agree to this and I'll finalize the deal." She sighs. "Hermaphrodites are very rare." The human king nods. "And 80k platinum is alot of money." She nods. "Very well." They shake on it.

He leaves the tent and grabs a bag with 50k platinum in it. He gives it to her. She is surprised to be getting the money emidietly. He speaks to her. "You can have the other 30k once the rookies prove they can make a difference in our current war." She smirks. "You'll be surprised what even a handful of rookie centaur warriors can do." She leans in to kiss him, but pulls away remembering they can't be together. It kinda makes you sad watching this. She switches her attention to you. "Now, tell me a little about yourself. "
