An Extra’s POV

The meeting didn't take very long.

After their greetings, and a few casual conversations between Rey and the Council Members, the rest of the Otherworlders also joined in on the conversation.

They followed Rey's lead and acted very familiar with the higher-ups.

This did two things for both sides.

One was establishing the position of the Otherworlders, associating them with the highest position of power in the United Human Alliance. In essence, they weren't just lackeys, but actual partners with the Royal Council.

The second, and perhaps more crucial thing, was making it so the Royal Council had a deep bond with the Otherworlders; hence warding off any scavengers who desired to poach any of them to the other side.

Plus, since it was possible that the nobles were beginning to act very cocky and more entitled due to having Otherworlders on their side, by presenting Otherworlders on the side of the Royal Council, it would serve to caution them.

When comparing quality, it was clear who had the superior allies.

Hence, it was even possible for the opposite to happen—at least, in the mind of the nobles. Their Otherworlder employees could end up switching to the other side as a result of the temptation.

That alone made the move brilliant.

If the Nobles were smart enough, they would quickly recognize this and back off as soon as possible; that was the rationale of both Rey and Conrad.

On that note, the meeting ended with the presentation of the Otherworlders to the Nobles, and vice versa. It was clear that its purpose was more of an exhibition, and also a formal recognition of the heroes of humanity.

Once it was over, the Otherworlders were dismissed, and this time Brutus was the one who escorted them back to their residence.

Lucielle stayed back with Conrad and Vida to deliver a supplementary address to the nobles present.
