5. Rose Gaze Chapter 256 Sister's Request
Pushing open the side door of the throne hall, I saw Hei Ningxue sitting on the throne wearing the queen's robe, and the bodyguard Bella standing beside her.
A bearded priest dressed in the Ice Empire's court uniform sat sullenly in front of her, behind whom stood two teams of imposing Praetorian Guard warriors.
Obviously, this is the envoy who came all the way from the imperial city of the "Ice and Snow Empire" "Snow Capital" and intends to recover the "Ice Wolf Castle" and the surrounding territories.
It's just that the negotiations seem to have reached an impasse. As Hei Ningxue clapped her hands, several guards carried the dried corpse of Lambert, who should be called "Carl" at this moment, and walked in quickly and placed it in the center of the hall.
Hei Ningxue pointed to the corpse, and said quietly: "As you can see, there are four demon path villains who conspired to kill the Ice Wolf King, and then killed the eldest prince. It was Ben who borrowed soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion, and now Karl's body is here, do you have anything you don't believe? ”
"I don't believe a word." The priest said in a deep voice.
Hei Ningxue sighed, "Say a thousand words and ten thousand, I am still the queen of the Ice Wolf Castle to be crowned." Now, I'm afraid it's unreasonable for you to want to revoke the domain of the vassal king with just one sentence, right? ”
The priest stared fiercely into the eyes of the black condensation: "You don't have an heir of the ice and snow lineage. ”
"So what?" Hei Ningxue smiled, "I've already heard that the people of Xuedu have commented on me, but it's just a disaster that relies on beauty to be in a corner of peace." When I spend the rest of my life in style, I don't care about what happens after death. ”
The priest looked at her indignantly, but had nothing to say. As Allen said, there are some rules in this world that cannot be broken and violated. It is true that the Imperial City has control over all the territories that are divided, but the inheritance rights of the members of the royal family over the territories are also unshakable.
Hei Ningxue, who consciously stood on the moral high ground, smiled lightly and said with a shallow smile, "The high priest came to inquire on behalf of the clan this time, and I was deeply frightened, and there is one more thing I want to ask the high priest to plead with the clan on my behalf, I don't know if it is convenient?" ”
The priest descended the steps and asked in a deep voice, "I can't promise you anything, but I will convey it to the clan word for word." ”
Hei Ningxue's eyelashes fluttered a few times, "I know that I am not worthy of being buried with the Ice Wolf King after death, can I beg the Ritual Priest for mercy and reward me with a cremation after the death of my demon girl, lest those who hate me feed my body to the beasts, which can be regarded as saving my last face." ”
"Hahaha." The priest laughed dryly, "What a sharp-toothed queen. In that case, I'll come back in two years to see if you're dead. ”
With that, he got up and walked away with the guards.
Looking at his departing back, Hei Ningxue took a long breath and sighed lightly: "I won't send ...... far away."
The heavy wooden door of the hall closed tightly with a muffled sound, and Hei Ningxue untied the queen's shawl, handed it to Bella, and beckoned to Allen, "It's just in time, sister wants to discuss something with you." ”
Alan Cheng came to Hei Ningxue in fear, and suddenly hesitated whether to call her Her Royal Highness the Queen or Miss Hei Ningxue.
"What's the matter, why is the expression so strange?" Hei Ningxue asked.
Alan just wanted to say a few perfunctory words, and suddenly there was some strange feeling in his heart. He took the liberty to look up at Hei Ningxue carefully, hesitated for a long time, and finally replied, "I always feel ...... You're not Miss Hei Ningxue, right? ”
"Oh?" Hei Ning Xue Qi said, "Why do you say that? ”
Alan scratched his head a little embarrassed, "When Miss Hei Ningxue speaks, she always has a flirtatious charm, and her eyes are more like a woman in a nightclub......"
Before he could finish his words, an angry woman rushed out from behind the curtain: "You little cub want to say that I'm a coquette?" ”
The fluffy black dress, the snow-white face, and a pair of delicate eyes glared at Alan fiercely: "Do you want your sister to 'love' you a few more times before you can learn how to praise your daughter correctly?" ”
Thanks to Lena and Glista holding her arm with both hands behind her, otherwise Alan would have been "beaten with chickens and eggs" this time.
Although he had already guessed that the one on the throne might be a stand-in, Alan was still startled when the black condensation snow came out.
The "Black Snow" on the throne took off her disguise, and it was the naughty Shirley: "Hey, it's much harder to play Black Snow than Clara." ”
A few more people came out from behind the curtain, none other than Buxiao, Lydia, and Finks.
Finks grinned and said, "It's perfect, as long as you can fool the envoys of the Ice Empire." ”
Black Snow broke away from Lena and Glista and walked up to Eren angrily. Alan subconsciously thought that he was going to be slapped a few times, and quickly tightened his neck.
But Hei Ningxue's palm was raised high, but it fell gently, and her gentle palms supported Allen's cheeks, and Yingying's eyes looked at him seriously, "Sister has something to ask you, you have to promise me first." ”
Alan's face burned hot, and he didn't care about anything but a stupid nod.
Hei Ningxue said seriously: "I want you to take over the 'Council of Four' and take care of those 'Rose Gaze' children for me." ”
"Replacing the Council of Four?" Alan blinked, not understanding what she was talking about.
Hei Ningxue said, "I once promised Dr. Isar to help her students. Now, thanks to the Lord of the Red Pavilion, he is willing to help us with a living space where travelers can live freely. ”
Alan was stunned, "You mean, you can give us some territory?" ”
Hei Ningxue pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you still want to go back to the cave?" ”
Alan looked at him in surprise and said incoherently: "You...... I...... Thank you very much. ”
At the large table next to her, Lydia had already spread out a large map. She pointed to the area around the puppet village, "The Red Pavilion will use this as the core to build a new city ten times larger than the puppet village. Are you interested in integrating into this new city and living with the people of all races in this world? ”
As soon as he heard that he wanted to coexist with people of other races, Allen showed an embarrassed expression: "I'm afraid you don't know, the 'Council of Four' has been instilling in us the concept of 'traverser supremacy' all these years, I'm afraid we won't be able to reverse it in the short term......"
Hei Ningxue said: "I don't force everyone to understand. If you don't agree with the concept of 'equality of all peoples', please go back to the cave and rethink your life, I think they will figure it out eventually." ”
Alan responded with a wry smile.
Lydia added: "The key to the fall of the heavenly capital is the inexplicable superiority of us 'traversers'. In his previous life, he had seen a higher level of technology, and mistakenly thought that he was a superior Draconian. It wasn't until he was crushed by the six kingdoms that he had no choice but to take refuge in the demons. ”
Hei Ningxue looked at Eren with a solemn expression, "They need to change their minds in order to integrate into this world, and this is the most important thing we have to do with you." ”
Alan asked as if he didn't understand: "I probably understand the reason, but ...... Why me? ”
Lydia and Hei Ningxue looked back at each other at the same time, and said in unison, "He said it." ”
didn't smile and didn't bother to answer, and two lines seemed to be written on his arrogant face: I am the truth, and doubt is forbidden.
