62. End
62. End
They didn't meet in the castle. A vast plain was selectee near the capital and both entourages met at the same place.
"So, monarch of Asgard. You really thought of besieging us huh?" Aelsa stood there elegantly with a smile but her words were vicious and mocking.
"You guys do not have any honour either. Using traps to confront my army. A very honourable elven fight indeed". Odin didn't back down either and replied with a smile.
"This is war". Aelsa shrugged her shoulders and replied calmly.
"This is also why we are here to negotiate terms". Odin nodded his head and replied.
"Here is your daughter. You can take her back. Our only term is to make sure that we can maintain the peace that we have loved". Aelsa replied and didn't demand anything from Asgard.
They didn't really need anything. They were self sufficient and had plenty of heritage from their previous monarchs.
"Oh but we can use some Uru. Mind sending some our way?" King spoke up this time with a smile and asked like it was no big deal.
Odin looked at King's smiling face and nearly gritted his teeth to dust. He asked for Uru like it was a pebble on the road.
Even they don't have too much inventory of this metal. There is a reason why it is so scarce in the universe and also why it is so expensive.
"We shall take our leave". Odin didn't talk nonsense with them after Hela was back with him and took his leave immediately.
He did tacitly agree to sending them Uru as the loser of the battle but it wasn't a pleasant thing for him either.
So he opted to just leave as soon as possible before they provoke his anger more and more with their words.
"You nearly provoked him again". Aelsa gave King a side eye and teleported them back to the castle.
"Hehe, we need Uru and it's never too much anyway". King shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.
"Now go and do whatever you need to do". Aelsa nodded her head and shooed him out of the throne room.
She knew that he was going to start exercising again and train his powers again. He is just a power hungry freak that keeps training every single day.
King also didn't stop and just ran away from the throne room to go and find a sparring partner for himself.
Meanwhile in Asgard after Odin Hela back.
"You have done mistakes. Do you know your mistake?" Odin looked at the kneeling Hela in front of him while sitting on his throne.
"I did nothing wrong. They killed my mother and I bathed them in blood to take my revenge". Hela answered back through gritted teeth.
She hates it when Odin bosses her around and tells her what she did wrong or right. He has never been like a father to her but acts like he is only when it is convenient.
She is starting to get fed up of him. She doesn't want to stay under his shadow anymore after this incident.
"You have gotten soft. If it was before, we would've bathed the whole race in blood but you don't have the guts anymore". Hela stood up and voice her argument strongly on Odin's face.
Her mentality snapped finally and she couldn't take it. So she just started to voice her opinion as loud as she can on his face.
"You still don't understand". Odin tried to calm her down and shook his head softly.
"I understand everything. You got what you wish for. You rule the nine realms. Alfheim is neutral so they don't really care and now you have gotten soft". Hela got more and more annoyed as she spoke and she had no wish to listen to others.
"Enough, Hela Odinsdottir. You are standing in front of your King". Now even Odin got angry because there is just so much he can tolerate again and again.
He has already tried to reason with her calmly and she is adamant on speaking and doesn't care about the words of Odin at all.
"I will dethrone you and take your throne for myself. You are no king. You are a hypocrite". Hela still didn't stop or flinch from Odin's words. She was going to say what she wanted.
Odin's gaze turned incredibly sharp and he was fully provoked by Hela's words and stood up from his throne.
"Hela Odinsdottir, I banish you to the realm of Hel for disrespecting your king and putting down Asgard's reputation". Odin spoke and runes floated in the air. They floated over to Hela and bound her body in them.
A portal opened and the struggling Hela was dragged into the portal by the runes. She was forever banished to Helheim.
'I can't bear the thought of killing you'. Odin sighed and returned to his throne.
With what Hela had done and said. She would've been beheaded already if it was Bor instead of Odin but he couldn't do it.
He couldn't really harden his heart to kill his own daughter like this. He could only banish her to a realm where no one would visit and care.
"I hope you will learn like I did". Odin closed his eyes and sighed while sitting on the throne weakly. For the first time in his life he felt old.
Everything was done and now it was time to cover any traces of Hela. Odin will have to make sure that no one finds out about this.
It will only be a very small or even no people that will know about her existence with Odin's interference.
The war that spanned the entire nine realms came to an abrupt end in only a small span of three years or so.
The war which was supposed to last at least tens of years was finished in only a couple of years because of the interference of an anomaly.
