They decided to meet at London's Greatport, a large port just outside the city which had been turned into a heavy military compound. Director Wei was here and so was Cress, his second in command. Naturally, Ellen was here too, coldly gazing dispassionately at those on the other side of the table. Sitting between the two parties was a person they all were familiar with in some way. Baroness Lachesis, the only Baron not affiliated with the Third Impact, she was a neutral party that no longer wished to take part in the war. Opposite of Director Wei's side and the Winter sisters' two demons, sat the vampires. Queen Riven was here, as was her primary attendant, Elise von Trapp. Lastly, Gregor was there as well, gazing at them with a slight frown.
It was obvious what this was about.
"We have Viola Rosenkrantz's corpse." Director Wei said as smoothly as he could. "We dug it up during the coronation ceremony while none of you were paying attention. Baroness Lachesis here can revive her and bring her back." With a drawback, always of course, but did the vampires know that? Baroness Lachesis did not seem inclined to warn her clients about this risk, so it wasn't as if Wei had to either, as much as he may want to. This was a matter of humanity's survival. You couldn't always be nice to everyone. "She was your partner and intended." Ellen's voice was ice cold. "It would be in your best interest to agree to this deal." Elise cleared her throat, eyeing Riven who had balled her fists, unhappy, not just unhappy but clearly angered, but still not about to pick a fight. Not unless they had to.
"Are you trying to open up old wounds?" Elise's voice was accusatory. "We already said our goodbyes. There's no need to go after us like this." Ellen knew that the vampires just wanted the body back, they just wanted Viola to get to rest in peace. "And what would you have us do?" Gregor asked, not about to just let a deal come through without knowing the terms first. Cress crossed her arms, clearly trying to express that no, she did not agree with doing this sort of thing in the slightest. "Side with us in the war. Then you'll get your Viola back." Was Ellen's succinct reply.
"And what is your stake in this, Baroness Lachesis?" Elise asked, eyes narrowed at the serpentine demon sitting between the parties at the table. Why was she taking part in this? "In exchange for being allowed to live, one of the prerequisites is to agree to help with small tasks from time to time." Baroness Lachesis answered, never missing a beat. The vampires conferred among themselves, as if trying to decipher what that even meant. "And what, may I ask..." Riven finally decided to speak, her pink hair vibrant despite her many losses. "What reason do we have not to attack you right now and force you to return my friend's body to me?"
