There are many people who want to see Avalon in the status quo, or to be precise, the way the 7 kingdoms want. The creation of such union was to make a power continent to subjugate the others continents, in reality, they wish to be as powerful as Wakanda and are no near close of reaching their power in any level.
Excluding Genosha, who is facing an internal political crisis, all the 6 kingdoms are facing a mortal enemy, the dragon rider. The initial plan was to give the chance for the Kree to invade and kill Avalon and the dragon rider, of course, the X-men butt in and it prevents Avalon to disappear.
“We need to do something” the people in this room, tight and oppressive, can speak in unison as paranoia is filling the room. “She has Ceruleam and Morgana united against us if we lose celesta...we will have 4 kingdoms and Genosha is talking about leaving the union...it would make then 3 kingdoms and how can we support ourselves? The economy is crumbling already”
“I take care of that” the only female in the room gains everyone´s attention, even though, she lost her land, the woman still carries a trust in her victory “I ask for the Necromancer to stop her” her husband ended up dying in the conquest not that the Queen is missing him, but, his death can be great to use as a leverage with other countries.
The name Necromancer is linked to one person, regardless of how many necromancers exist, only one is the powerful enough to stop dragons, and if the Queen asked for his help then the dragon rider is dead now.
Yet, one man makes a question failing to see the logic of her plan or the Necromancer “ Wait, if you ask for his help why you lost Morgana to the dragon rider?” the Queen frowns at the insolence of such question and explain in a condescending tone “the Necromancer wants to give her a sense of security and when she is at her most vulnerable the man will give us Avalon in a Golden plate”
Many cheers at that and the man´s doubt is not placated as the others wish or care for. Tonight, they celebrate with the certainty that Celesta is his as well the world.
Kitty is wearing her typical blue dress proudly as she has one last thing to do(no, that´s a lie, to unity a nation you need far more than just a flag) she needs to have Celesta back to the motherland and prefers to not drop blood unless is necessary. The New Mutants are giving the facts on Celesta and its military and political force, Yana confirms it was a mess, she also confirms that Kitty is being naive for trust in a man like Kurt Wagner.
She knows about his past or at least some of his past and understand why people are hesitant in trust such man, yet, all Kitty can do now is hope. If Kurt wanted to betray her it would have done ages ago.
“So, the Queen wants me dead? She has a name but I really don´t care” Kitty is pondering her choices and Kurt is gazing at her lovingly, especially at her lovely blue dress “Elf, I told you, the dress has nothing to do with you, I wear to symbolize the union of Avalon”
“True, but, the Avalon´s blue is a soft one...you´re Always wearing a hue that resembles mine, I just want to make sure it is appreciated” Kurt states as Kitty rolls her eyes amused. “But back to the Queen is quite delusional thinking I did kill or plan to kill you” Kurt estates with a maniacal smile on his face “there´s far more concern in celebrating your death than prepare any defence. Let´s strike while they are too drunk to do anything” Kurt suggested and Kitty can say is a tempting offer, however, she won´t gain nothing on the long run by killing people. Her people don´t need to fear her.
“Killing them is an interesting idea, Kurt, but, I pass for now I need a plan” Kitty speaks as a matter of fact.
“I´m opposed to unnecessary killing as well, I just don´t like how they speak in such vulgar terms about you”
“Oh, elf, I take that as flattery...they fear me” she has a smile now and Kurt can´t help by thinking it is the most beautiful smile ever.
“The Capital of Celesta is well guarded, but, the city-states aren´t...this could be a great wake up call as the capital needs the Money the city-states provide...” Kurt suggested in a sweet tone.
“I like that idea very much...but, I have to ask, what exactly is Celesta´s real economy,” she asked facing Kurt with closes eyes and the man scratches his neck and answers honestly “slaves”
“Oh my god” Kitty answers back and maybe she should kill them. She whistle and a big Lockheed shows up and offers her hand to Kurt “come with me” and Kurt could say once again that he can turn into a dragon but...free ride is a free ride.
