A cold light flashed in the darkness, and the lamps on the cold walls instantly jumped up a few wisps of dark fire.

The Demon Emperor was sitting in the middle of the hall, staring at the flickering flames.

He seemed to be in deep thought, as if attracted by the dancing flames, and between the flickering of the flames, a gleam could be seen reflected in his two deep eyes.

There was silence for a long time, and a voice slowly sounded in the hall.

"Your Majesty. ”

The figure of Grand Wizard Matthews appeared strangely in the center of the main hall.

"Is the news true?"

The Demon Emperor didn't speak, but his pupils shrank slightly.

He seemed to be accustomed to Matthews' appearance, but it was extremely rare not to say a word.

After all, Matthews is his right-hand man, the pillar of the entire Dark Empire. After so many years of following him before and after saddle the horse, he founded this imperial alliance, and he also paid a lot. So no matter how reasonable it is, he shouldn't treat Matthews with this attitude.

However, Matthews seemed to disagree, because he knew very well what kind of things would make the always optimistic Demon Emperor behave like this.

The Demon Emperor was silent, and Matthews stood quietly in place, and the hall fell silent.

In the midst of this silence, Matthews got the answer.

It turned out that the news that he had just heard back was true.

The fire crackled on the walls, and the autumn wind outside the window swept away a few fallen leaves.

Matthews' heart seemed to fall with the leaves, until it fell into the dirt.

Silent, silent.

I don't know how long it was, but the Demon Emperor finally opened his mouth slightly.

"Hoo ......"

I saw him breathe a long sigh of relief, as if he was in an unusually depressed mood.

"It doesn't make sense......"

"She... What do you want to do?"

The dry voice echoed through the hall, and it seemed so pale. And the doubts and heaviness that flashed in those eyes made the atmosphere in the hall even heavier.

Grand Wizard Matthews breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was as pale as the Demon Emperor's dry voice.

Because he knew what the Demon Emperor was talking about, and he also knew what the Demon Emperor was bothered by.

"Your Majesty, I can't figure it out either. ”

Matthews looked puzzled, and his tone was slightly hesitant.

"However, according to His Majesty's temperament, he would never have made such a stupid decision. Maybe she has a trick we don't know about, or maybe she's found some great help. ”

Hearing this, the Demon Emperor's calm eyes seemed to ripple a little. And his expression, which was originally a little confused, was even heavier at the moment.

"Yes, there must be some unknown reason why that madwoman is so abnormal. But this after-the-job and help ......"

The Demon Emperor straightened his stiff neck, and then changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

"It doesn't seem like there's much possibility. ”

Grand Wizard Matthews' brow furrowed tightly, and there was a slight worry in his eyes.

"So what is it for?"

His fists tightened slightly, and Matthews racked his brains to calculate. And in his mind, fragments of information are also being combined into conclusions.

"Gabriel was seriously wounded, and the Knights of the Round Table were useless, and for no reason they lost their strength in these two battles, and they had no advantage in the battle between the high-ranking ranks. Without this kind of advantage, then the war can only be a lose-lose situation, not to mention that there is a secret curtain behind us to secretly support us, our chances of victory are much greater. ”

"But ......"

Matthews thought desperately, but still couldn't think of a reason.

"Why, exactly, how could the Holy Emperor not think of this?"

The Demon Emperor didn't answer, and looked at the Hellfire in the lamp on the wall again.

And the Grand Wizard of Matthews seemed to be trapped in doubt, and from this moment on, he did not say a word.

Neither of them spoke again, and the hall fell silent again.

The autumn wind is blowing, and the leaves are falling outside the window.

The Demon Emperor was silent for a moment, and then raised his chin slightly.

Looking at the waning moon in the void outside the window, he looked stunned.

The cold moonlight sprinkled silver light on the earth, and a few dark clouds in the sky were slowly moving with the night wind.

"Whatever the reason, we can't let this engagement be dissolved. ”

The Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression extremely solemn.

"Tearing up the marriage contract is tantamount to tearing up the peace agreement, and without our deliberate intervention, there will definitely be another dispute on the border. Small disputes will turn into big disputes, and disputes will lead to local wars, and when local wars break out, then they will eventually turn into national wars!"

Gritting his teeth fiercely, a trace of fierceness flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes.

"After the national war, no matter what kind of situation arises, it is definitely not what we want to see. ”

Although the Dark Empire is honored by the Demon Emperor, its essence is an alliance between the principalities and the kingdoms.

If the Great War is fought together, and the Demon Emperor and the Holy Emperor are both defeated, then no one will be able to control the chaotic situation in the world.

Especially after the defeat of the Empire of Light, the four princes of the Dark Empire and the four holy bishops of the Church of Light will definitely not give up, and the peaceful situation of the confrontation between the two countries will also become a group of leaders with dogs and teeth intertwined.

You must know that the four Holy Clothes Archbishops are by no means as harmonious with each other as they seem, if they lose the restraint of the Holy Emperor, I am afraid that the Empire of Light will also be divided into four major forces, and King Arthur will definitely not be resigned, between these four forces, there may be a Kingdom of Arthur.

If this situation really occurs, the Dark Light Continent will definitely fall into years of conquest and endless wars.

Hearing the Demon Emperor's words, Matthews nodded lightly. He walked slowly behind the Demon Emperor and followed his gaze to the poignant waning moon outside the window.

"Not bad. ”

Matthews said solemnly,

"They weren't sure, and neither were we. And even if we were to overcome the Church of Light, the consequences would not be what we wanted. But ......"

His eyes flickered, and he seemed to think of another problem.

"But what can we do to get His Majesty the Holy Emperor to retract this decision?"

Hearing Matthews' question, there seemed to be some hesitation in the Demon Emperor's eyes.

He paused for a moment, then said, as if in a state of great uncertainty,

"I've done it, but I don't know if it's the right thing to do. ”

Sensing the Demon Emperor's hesitation, Matthews was slightly shocked in his heart.

"Your Majesty, how did you reply to her?"

The Demon Emperor frowned tightly, his face tangled.

I told her that even if I tore up the marriage contract, I had to get Roy's consent, otherwise it would be unreasonable, after all, she didn't make this marriage contract alone. So as long as she could convince Roy, I agreed to break the engagement. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Matthews froze in place.

"Roy?"

The Demon Emperor shrugged.

"Yes, Roy. ”

Matthews asked dumbfoundedly,

"Then what did the Holy Emperor say?"

The Demon Emperor pursed his lips and said with a disdainful expression,

She said that even though the marriage contract was not made by her, it was not made by me and Roy. And it doesn't matter if Roy agrees or not, Erin agrees to repent of the marriage anyway. If you want him to retract his decision, let Roy convince Erin that if Erin decides to marry him, then the marriage contract will continue to be fulfilled. ”

Matthews blinked, confused.

"So what should I do, do you really want that waste snack to go to the Empire of Light to persuade Erin?"

With a wry smile, the Demon Emperor said,

"That crazy woman's favorite thing is reasoning, and only in this way can she take back her decision. ”

He shook his head with a wry smile, and the Demon Emperor looked helpless.

"She promised me that she would not be strong, but only if Roy could convince Erin to marry him willingly, otherwise she would never retract her decision, even if the soldiers were strewn with corpses in the city. ”

"Your Majesty, do you think this waste snack can be done?"

Coming back to his senses, Matthews looked anxious.

"Even if that guy is now a fourth-order doctor, but the Bright Sect is not short of him, do you still expect him to make the Holy Emperor retract his decision?"

"There is no way. ”

The bitterness at the corner of the Demon Emperor's mouth became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he was also extremely troubled by this matter.

"If it really makes sense, there are only four people who can decide the paper marriage contract. ”

With a helpless look on his face, the Demon Emperor was very distressed.

He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, then said slowly,

"Holy Emperor, I, Irene, Roy. The current situation is that Erin and the crazy woman are going to break up their engagement, and Roy will definitely listen to us, so he is on the same side as us. ”

He let out a long sigh of relief.

"The current situation is two-on-two, so as long as Roy can convince Erin, then even if the Holy Emperor insists, he must not let the marriage contract be annulled. As long as the marriage contract is not annulled, then the peace agreement will always exist, and the Holy Emperor will be unknown, so this national war will definitely not be fought. ”

Hearing this, Grand Wizard Matthews nodded with a heavy face.

"Yes, the Holy Light Church has always prided itself on justice, so it would never do such a broken promise, but can that guy really convince Erin?"

"Who knows......"

The corners of the Demon Emperor's eyes twitched slightly.

"It's a while to be able to drag it out. ”

Seeing this situation, Matthews couldn't help but show a smile and a crying expression.

"I didn't expect that the future of the Dark Light Continent would be entangled in this guy's body, it's really unreasonable. ”

"Forget it, forget it......"

The Demon Emperor moved his stiff neck for a moment, and then said with a smile,

"The matter has come to this, and we can only wait for the will of heaven. I think that Roy guy must be making trouble in the Elders' House at this time. ”

......

"What?"

Li Yanbei jumped down from the chair, his eyes wide.

"Let me go to the Empire of Light and persuade Her Highness not to repent of her marriage?"

Staring straight at the Grand Duke on the throne in the middle, Li Yanbei exclaimed with a confused expression,

"Are you crazy?"
