The sky in front of me was still as dark, and the deep night covered the sky, and even the bright red full moon brought only an oppressive uneasiness and an almost dead silence. Irene sat in front of the window, staring at the documents on the desk, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile, which was a scenery that she had long been accustomed to, but at the moment it brought a strange feeling. That's not just nostalgia for returning home, I'm afraid it's more......... It's a change in mood.

Thinking of this, Irene smiled wryly and shook her head, now she is not only as the "Moon Princess", but also as the diplomatic representative of the Void Lord in the Night Country. This not only made Irene feel very awkward, but even other people were the same, including the four demon generals, who also said that this situation was simply unheard of, and the princess of one country was used as a diplomatic representative by other countries, this kind of thing sounded very good and powerful, but between the current relationship between the Void Lords and the Night Realm, it was really difficult to judge what the Void Dragon was thinking. In fact, the Night Nation has not protested, and Barende has raised his doubts to Ion, believing that it is not appropriate to do so. Although from a political point of view, the princess of his own country holds the diplomatic power of other countries or something sounds very good and powerful, but this does not mean that the Void Lord is on the road of betraying the country to seek glory and open the country, for the special power form of the Dragon Soul Continent with only five creation dragons and only four dragon soul shelters, the function of the so-called diplomatic envoy is too far worse than that on the earth, and it can only be regarded as a channel for communication and transmission between the power of the dragon soul, as for influencing the national policy or something, That's not going to talk about it.

However, the worries of the four demon generals were obviously not focused on this, they thought that this practice was really demoralizing, and the princess of the Night Country ran to make a diplomatic representation for others. And it's good that it's not a year since ———the end of the previous war that invaded the country of light, and it's not been a year since the end of the Void Lord's Void Realm, and the memory of the undead is calculated in terms of a hundred years. The princess of her own country went to give a hand to a guy who had just made the Night Kingdom hit the nails, and this kind of thing would not be easy for anyone. Irene had also heard about it, because of this incident, some ancient families had already expressed a certain degree of dissatisfaction with His Majesty Ion. Originally, there were no strict rules in the Night Country that forbade this kind of thing. As a result, it was a matter of repeated orders to Ion, and it was clear that Her Royal Highness Princess Irene was also a very outstanding talent in the Night Country, but because of His Majesty's insistence, he went to work for other dragon souls? If this matter is spread out, won't the Void Leader be a natural dwarf when the Night Kingdom sees it in the future?

However, none of this had any effect on Ion, he was still strict, and even invited Irene to discuss some diplomatic matters together, but as long as everyone present could see that at this time, Ion did not treat Irene as his sister, but really treated her as a diplomatic representative from the Void Realm. Although some believe that this is a sign that Irene has fallen out of favor. However, Irene herself knew very well that her brother was just a little too confident.........

More than a little, it should be said.

This discovery worries Irene as she discovers that her brother is becoming more and more paranoid. This has gone completely beyond the scope of persistence, to a certain pathological level. Frankly speaking, the reason why Irene accepted Rod's proposal to do this was because of the current situation in the Dragon Soul Continent, and she, as a diplomatic representative, was completely a dry eater. At most, let the other person know when they want to meet with you, or when they will talk about something. That's why Ireen took the position. Second, she also hopes to be able to make Ian reconsider his thoughts through such a "stimulus method", it is obvious that Rod's way of not playing cards according to the rules is unexpected by Ion, if Ion has any objection to this, even if it is not easy to say it directly. He can also privately warn himself to pay attention to his status as a member of the royal family or something, and as soon as Ion speaks, then Irene will immediately go to Rhodes to resign from this position. However, what made Irene uneasy was that although at the beginning, when hearing Irene's explanation. Ion was indeed a little surprised, but then he re-showed his calm and calm attitude of "everything is under the control of the national army", and even if there was a lot of discussion below, he was not moved at all, as if what Rhodes did had no way to affect him at all.

But is that really the case?

What made Irene feel uneasy the most was not Ian's too calm and composed response, but Rhodes' performance at the beginning. To be honest, when she first heard from Rhodes that she was going to become the diplomatic representative of the Void Lord, even Irene herself couldn't believe her ears, and she didn't tactfully express to Rhodes that with her own identity, she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to hold such a position. But Rhodes' reaction was just as calm——— if not more sober.

"Rest assured, Your Highness Irene, the problems you are worried about will not be a problem."

It wasn't until she met her brother that Irene understood what Rod meant. Ion thought that everything was under his control, but to Irene's horror, Rhodes seemed to know his brother better than he did, and he was even sure that Ion would never ask any questions or grievances about such a strange state of affairs.

Although Irene had mentioned this to Ion in private and reminded him to be careful of Rod, Ion didn't take it to heart at all. This is the part that worries Irene the most, Ion is completely out of control, and the previous defeat has not been able to stop him, but has only boosted Ion's fighting spirit. In Ion's eyes, the trouble that Rhodes caused him was just a small training before achieving his goal, which was not worth mentioning at all, and would not have any impact on the achievement of the final goal.

The perspectives of both sides are completely two levels, and from this point of view, Irene has no choice, and even as the princess of the moon, she can't convince Ion, let alone the four demon generals. Not only that, what makes Irene even more worried is that there are people who fish in troubled waters in this in vain to get their own benefits and benefits. However, it seems that there is no time to go to the trouble of the Void Lord.

That is, Rhodes' purpose has been achieved.

It's just that I don't know if my brother understands this.

"Hoo ..............."

Thinking of this, Irene reached out and pressed her forehead, she had been trying to change her brother's mind since returning to the Night Realm. But now it looks like a complete failure. It's impossible for Ion to accept his own opinion, so now, the only thing Irene can do is do what she has to do. Since Ion is unwilling to consider the dedication, it is up to him to consider a new way out.

"Your Highness."

At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded, interrupting Irene's thoughts, and she looked up to see a maid quietly entering her room, and then solemnly bowed to herself. That's when he spoke.

"Lord Barende is here."

“…………… Invite him in. ”

Hearing this, Irene's face remained unchanged, she put down the information in her hand, then crossed her hands, narrowed her eyes, and looked ahead with a lazy smile like a cat basking in the sun in the afternoon. And at this time, a majestic figure appeared in front of Irene——— it was Barende, one of the four demon generals.

"Hello, Her Highness Irene."

After walking into the room. Barronde immediately strode up to Irene, and bowed respectfully to her. And Irene was smiling. Nodding in response.

"It's been a long time, Your Highness Barend, seeing that your body is still so strong, then I will be relieved."

"Hahaha, Your Highness is really joking."

Hearing Irene's greeting, Barendha smiled. Then he reached out and pulled over a chair and sat down.

"For those of us who walk in darkness as the undead, we paid the price with our lives so that we could survive in the world. On the contrary, it is you, Your Royal Highness, who are getting more and more beautiful, and I remember when you were a very lovely little girl......... That's where the beauty of life comes in..............." Barende sighed softly. Irene didn't speak, still smiling and looking at Barend. This time Barende came to Irene, obviously there was something to discuss with Irene, this is also the change brought about by Irene's identity, before the change, although the four demon generals respected Her Royal Highness the princess very much, but they did not have any dealings with Irene——— what is the use of a vase princess who does not participate in political affairs for them?

But now, after all, the situation is different.

"I think Your Majesty knows that we met this time, but he doesn't care, but I must say that Your Majesty is likely to underestimate the strength of the Void Lord."

Speaking of business, Barende suddenly became serious.

"Your Royal Highness, you have been in the Void Realm for so long, you should have a very specific understanding of their strength. I'd like to ask you, what are our odds of victory if there is a conflict between the Night Realm and the Void Lord? ”

“…………… Did my brother say something? ”

Hearing this, Irene's heart suddenly tightened, among the four demon generals, Esvile is in charge of intelligence, Garcia is in charge of internal affairs, and only Barende is the real military commander. Now Barend has come to the door in person to ask about the arrangement of the Void Lord, and it is likely that the Night Nation is planning to do something to the Void Lord! Hearing Irene's inquiry, Barende only nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with these small actions in recent days,......... Want to bang it a little. ”

“…………………”

Although Barend's expression was very vague, Irene still understood what he meant, which made the Moon Princess frown. Even if Barende didn't say it directly, Irene also understood that it was obvious that his brother was planning to let His Majesty Rhodes receive some lessons, and since it was the Lord of the "Soul Chaser" who came in person, it means that there is a very likely local conflict between the Night Kingdom and the Void Territory, and it is possible that one of the four demon generals is in charge, and it is even possible that the four demon generals will personally lead the team?!

“……… The elder brother has already made a decision? ”

"At present, His Majesty only has this idea, but Your Royal Highness, you should be very aware of Your Majesty's temper ..............."

"yes..............."

Hearing Barende's answer, Irene sighed lightly, for Ion, the so-called "having an idea" is basically a prelude to the execution of the plan. In other words, this local conflict is inevitable. But Barend was clearly not optimistic about this, and the scene of the little bubblegum beating Esvile half to death in the Holy Book of Order is still vivid. Although it was a different occasion at the time, and Esvile lost the first move at first, so little bubblegum took over. But at the level of the Four Demon Generals, how could anyone have the upper hand?

It's no wonder that Barend came to inquire in person.

But for Irene, it's not a very good question to answer. It's not that Ireen has been in the Void for too long. And what is the psychology of cover-up. On the contrary, the current Irene is very hesitant, even if she did not go as a spy to spy on the other party's military secrets when she was in the Void Domain, but Rhodes has several strong men under him, and she is still very aware of this. In terms of combat effectiveness, Irene, the princess of the moon, is an existence comparable to the four demon generals, so it is naturally impossible not to perceive the majesty of the six-pillar demon god.

"It is not convenient for me to answer directly, but with all due respect, Your Highness Barend. Perhaps the question you should consider is not how high our odds are, but whether we have a chance. ”

“………………… What does Your Highness mean ...............? ”

Hearing this, Barende's voice also changed slightly, and it was obvious that he also heard the meaning of Irene's words. In the face of Barende's question, Irene nodded slightly, and then continued to speak.

"If the army is against each other, then I think the Night Nation still has a good chance of winning. The previous defeat at Moon didn't prove anything. Moon has been established for a long time, and the various systems are very sound. Under the leadership of Archduke Lytia, it is very close and united, and it is very different from the country of light, which is not at the same level as itself. And with the help of His Majesty Rhodes, it is not surprising that the raid of the Night Nation failed in a precautionary situation. But the Void Realm is different, it is still a nascent territory after all, and most of the people who come here to take refuge are victims of the previous war. Although some of them are young and middle-aged, most of them are women and children, and even though His Majesty Rhodes is currently reforming the Void Realm, it is not yet possible to form an army that effectively threatens and hinders the Night Realm. But......... If it's just from the top, I don't think we're going to win. ”

Said here. Irene paused, looked at the silent Barende in front of her, and then continued.

"There are many strong people in the hands of His Majesty Rod, Miss Bubblegum and Miss Canary, and Miss Marlene are all very strong. You must have seen their strength with your own eyes in the Holy Book of Order, but in addition, this majesty also has a very strong power in his hands, at least in Grandia, I can feel three very powerful momentum, although I don't know who the other party is, but their strength is definitely above me! Even on a full moon night, I don't have the confidence to be able to fight against them! ”

“………… Is this true? ”

Hearing this, Barende suddenly became serious, as one of the four demon generals, he knew very well that Irene's strength was only below Ion, coupled with the attribute of "invincible under the moon", which made Irene rare opponents in the country of night, even if the four demon generals were together, they might not be able to win against Irene, but now, Irene actually told him so frankly that even if he was in the full moon state, he was not sure that he would be able to defeat the strong man under Rhodes, and it was still three?!

Doesn't this mean that under Rhodes, there are at least three opponents who are stronger than the four demon generals?

"Not only that, but in addition to this, His Majesty Rhodes also has a tripartite team composed of demons, elves, and war angels, and their strength, I think the destruction of Casablanca should be able to enlighten you enough. There's even that unique magic warship............... Frankly, my Highness Barend, I have reported all this to my brother, but my brother ................"

Saying this, Irene lowered her head in some disappointment for the first time. Although she is not a spy, she is from the Night Realm after all, and even if she doesn't do any work to spy on military intelligence, she still knows the general situation of the Void Lord. But these didn't seem to attract much attention from Ion, maybe in Ion's opinion, everything the Void Lord is doing is a small fight, and as long as his strength is strong enough, he can suppress the Void Lord. But Irene knew that this was definitely not a trivial matter, but from her standpoint, it was difficult to say too much. Otherwise, the wall has ears, even if the elder brother doesn't care, when the time comes, it will be rumored that Her Royal Highness the princess of the Night Country thinks that the Night Country is not as strong as the Void Lord——— I don't know what will happen to those dark nobles.

"Your Majesty is too impatient now, this is a big taboo, but as courtiers, we can't violate the king's order..............."

Hearing Irene's answer, Barende also shook his head. Then, he stood up.

"Thank you, then, Your Highness the Princess."

"You're welcome, just a little bit of effort."

Saying this, Irene's heart suddenly moved.

"Your Highness Barend, is it true that the elder brother has already begun to act? I don't know if this time, my brother is ..............."

Irene didn't finish her sentence, and Barende only stopped to look at her before speaking.

"Highness Irene, I heard that when you were in the Void Realm, you were cared for by a vampire royal family named Angelinte, right?"

“………………… I see what you mean. ”

Hearing this, Irene's heart sank, although Barend's answer seemed to be wrong, but Ireen already understood what her brother was going to do. (To be continued......)
