The Three Diplomats of Elda, Dwarven, and Bestia arrived at the Office of the Famous Demon Lord. They opened the wooden door and entered as they started to take a look at the Demon Lord's Office. The Interior of the Office was quite a surprise for the Diplomats. It was far from what they had expected from the Demon Lord. It looked ordinary as it resembled a Small Company's Boss Office.

Luna, who stood in front of them, turned her head towards the Diplomats and uttered under her Nonchalant voice. "I'll take my leave. Why don't you take a seat? My Master should arrive soon." Her words echoed as she walked out of the office without giving the Diplomats time to answer. 

The Diplomats found themselves in silence as they couldn't believe that the Inquisitor that guided them into the Fortress Bastion left them. As traditions, Diplomats would always have guards from their respective nations and the foreign nation they got ordered to enter. But the Nation of Azathoth was Completely different. As a New Nation with a Powerful Great Ruler, they have a lax yet strong defense. 

The Diplomats sighed as they walked towards the Sofa in front of them. They sat on the Sofa without uttering any words towards the Comrade Diplomats. Sella slightly coughed and turned her gaze towards Aurora. The situation they had gone through was surprising that Sela almost forgot Aurora, who was sitting right beside her. 

"It has been a while since we saw each other, Aurora," Sella uttered with a smile plastered on her face. 

Hearing Sella's words, Aurora turned her silver eyes towards Sella and calmly gazed at the Beautiful Elven Lady. Aurora was also a bit shocked at the personality of the Demon Lord. Despite the Hard and Gracious introduction of the Demon Lord, the character that came after it was different from that the Diplomats had expected. 

"It's nice to meet you, Sella. How many years has it been? Over 50 years was it?" Aurora replied with a sly tone. Upon hearing Aurora's words, Sella sighed as it seemed that her best friend hadn't changed despite having half a century to change. 

"It's unexpected for you to not change despite having half-century worth of time. Well, I guess this makes it better. I'm glad that my cute best friend hadn't changed that much." Sella winked as Aurora pouted after hearing Sella's words. It seemed that Sella also hadn't changed. 

Despite having a Cold and Serious personality on the outside, Aurora was Completely different from the inside. She was sensitive, though that could only apply to those Important to her. If Aurora was Sensitive about something, it's was something to expect that she had taken a liking to it. That was how Aurora's personality goes, and everyone that knew her understood her all that well. 

"It seems that the two of you know each other well." Malgon softly chuckled as the two Lady Diplomats stopped gazing upon each other and looked at the Dwarf Diplomat. The Lady Diplomats looked at each other once again and quickly avoided each other's gaze. They were embarrassed by their behaviors though they couldn't control them as the two ladies didn't see each other for a long time. 

"We were simply former colleagues," Aurora replied as she tried to be Nonchalant as possible. Sella looked at her and immediately nodded. Malgon gazed upon the two ladies with curious and skeptical eyes. After all, he felt the ladies in front of him were lying, which was kind of true. But even if they were lying, Malgon has no right to dive deep down into the ladies' relationship. 

"Understood, despite being curious about the relationship between the two of you. I know my boundaries." Malgon smiled towards the Beast Lady and the Elven Lady. Sella and Aurora looked at Malgon and nodded in agreement. The past was the past, so there was no need to indulge yourself in it. 

"I am a bit curious about, Sir Malgon. Weren't you the Famous Young Forge Hammer of the Dwarven Nation? It must be tough being the youngest one." Sella decided to change the Subject, which surprisingly worked. Aurora was interested in the Subject while Malgon smiled and replied with his gentle voice. 

"I don't know how much information about me got through the Intelligence Network though I do agree that having Old Dwarves around you is hard. The Forge Hammers are all Old and Strong. One of them is even over a thousand years old while I'm standing here at the age of 25-year-old." Malgon shook his head and sighed. 

The Beast Lady and the Elven Lady got surprised by Malgon's words. They thought he was older by at least over a hundred-year-old. But it seems that they were wrong. Malgon was the youngest one in the room, and his strength was already equal to the two of them. Malgon seeing the surprised expressions of the ladies, realized something. 

"Don't tell me that the two of you are over a Hundred-Year-Old?" Malgon uttered with a skeptical tone. He didn't want to believe his words, but the two ladies in front of him could be over a Hundred-Year-Old. Aurora and Sella froze as they couldn't answer Malgon's question. Sella then slightly coughed and replied. 

"Didn't your Comrade Forge Hammers teach you about manners? Don't you think, It is quite disrespectful to ask a Lady's age?" Hearing Sella's reply, Malgon was now sure of it. The Young Looking Ladies in front of him were over a Hundred-Year-Old. Sella and Aurora noticed the expression on Malgon's face as they understood that he realized their Possible age. 

"Old Ladies..." Malgon silently uttered though his voice immediately traveled onto Sella and Aurora's ears. The Atmosphere in the Office got heavier and colder as Malgon could feel the hatred flowing through the Auras of the two ladies. 

"Oy, Young One. Do you want to die?" Sella spoke with a cold tone while Seriously gazing at Malgon.

"It has been a while but with my connection. We can kill a Forge Hammer without any repercussions." It seems that Aurora was planning to kill Malgon. 

"I apologized, my Ladies. It seems that I had offended you with my words. But I think being insecure of your age isn't the way of it, especially of those with a higher life span. After all, if you compare your ages to the average life span of your race. Then you will see that you are young in the great scope of your race." Malgon apologized and explained why they shouldn't get offended by his words. 

"Then, won't you be a toddler?" Sella answered as Malgon froze. Malgon getting called a toddler was the greatest insult, especially when he was a young dwarf. Malgon smiled as he knew that when Diplomats started insulting each other. They were no way to stop it. With this in mind, Malgon slyly smiled. 

Though, before he could release a single word, A Light illuminated as the Demon Lord arrived at the office. His words got stuck on his tongue as he sighed as there was no need to continue speaking towards the Diplomats. The Diplomats stopped talking to each other as they turned their gaze towards the Demon Lord of Azathoth. 

"It seems that the three of you had gotten along," Persia said with her soothing voice as the Diplomats nodded without any resistance. Persia gazed upon the Diplomats with her Golden Amber Eyes as she nodded in satisfaction. She then spoke with her Calm voice as it was time to check the defense treaty. 

"Well, then. Why don't we check the defense treaties given to you by your respective Great Rulers." Persia said with a smile as the Diplomats nodded, and they took out their contracts for the Demon Lord to see. Persia looked at the Luxurious Contracts and noticed their lavishness. Such Grand contracts were something that Persia had already expected as the contract correlated to the Great Rulers. 

Aurora took out a Wooden Tablet with numerous things written within it. It was simple, and it highly resembled the Tablets found within temples. Well, as they say, simpleness has its charm. Persia found itself Beautiful and Simple, though it still exuded some luxurious charms. 

Sella took out a stone as a Holographic Image of the Contract appeared out of it. It seems that the Nation of Elda was high in Magic Technology compared to other races. The Magical Construct to build such a thing would be extraneous though Persia was confident that Ego could construct something, a thousand times more complex than the Holograph Stone. 

Malgon, on the other hand, took out a Normal Contract which was on Paper though the Paper was something forged by the Dwarven Empire. It was a Thousand Harder as Steel as it was Light as Feather.

Persia gazed upon the contracts and started reading them with her Golden Amber Eyes. There were a dozen things written on the Grand Contracts of each Diplomat though they were more or less the same. After reading them and finding no issue. Persia released a smile as she softly bit her fingers. 

Persia then signed the contracts with her blood as they started shining with a dark light. The Diplomats found themselves in shock as the contracts slowly changed into their demonic form. It seems that Persia's Chaos Plague could even affect inanimate objects. 

"That should be it. It's time for you to go to your rooms, Diplomats. I am sure that you are curious about my Fortress." Persia release a smile with a soothing voice as the Diplomats nodded and left her office.
