The quaint palace of the Wild Sand Empire looked ruined in the sunset, and the emperor's bedroom was quiet, only the remnant sun sprinkled on the golden roof of the palace, giving the palace a layer of mysterious brilliance.

Darius, who had killed the emperor and claimed the throne, finally met Tsukihime again in the deepest part of the palace. Their eyes met, and each other's hearts were in complete communication at that moment.

"I've been waiting for you." Tsukihime's voice was gentle and deep, and her eyes were full of deep emotion.

Darius gripped her hand tightly, his eyes sparkling with ambition and love. "I know, Tsukihime. I will be your new emperor, and you will be the queen forever. ”

Their conversation echoed through the night, and then they hugged each other and kissed each other's eyes, their hearts beating in sync like a drumbeat. Their bodies pressed close to each other, like two burning stars meeting in the deep night sky.

They spent the Spring Festival together in the emperor's bedroom and lingered all night. Their love swelled like spring water, and their laughter echoed in the empty bedchamber. That night, they seemed to have forgotten all the worldly distractions, only their existence with each other.

"I'll protect you." Darius whispered in Tsukihime's ear, "I'll give you a full empire." ”

Tsukihime looked at him with trust and love in her eyes. "I know, Darius." She replied.

……

Early the next morning, Darius sat on his throne in his imperial robes and a scepter.

The hall was filled with powerful officials, and for them, it didn't matter who would be the emperor—Darius had already announced that all officials would be crowned three ranks—and it was said that many officials had begun to revise historical records with the intention of examining the godhead of Darius's ancestors, as well as the legitimacy, legitimacy, and inevitability of his imperial power.

As close comrades-in-arms of Darius, the Black Mamba and Rattlesnake still stand at his sides, enjoying the supreme glory.

Just as everything looked flawless, a short man in metal armor staggered up the hall and fell to his knees with a thud.

Darius fixed his eyes, and it turned out to be the "Golden Scorpion" Soltu!

"Give my brother a seat." Darius stood up suddenly, "What happened, why is it so miserable?" ”

The Black Mamba picked up the golden scorpion, took him aside, and brought him a few bowls of wine. He froze down, and only then did his hoarse throat make a painful voice: "The Red Spider died in battle, and the castle of the three princes was taken by the Red Pavilion." ”

"The bold Red Pavilion dared to kill my brother!" Darius kicked over the table in front of him in a fit of rage, "Tell me, what is it that is so arrogant?" ”

"Nick......" said the golden scorpion sadly, "Nicolas Pierre." ”

Darius's iron fist clenched, "Nick! I knew I should have cut the grass to the roots! I didn't expect to let this guy go, I'm really angry! ”

The golden scorpion knelt on the ground again, "The enemy army has a more powerful woman, I am really not an opponent, I am a disgrace to the eldest brother." ”

"Anyone better than Nick?" The Black Mamba whispered, "Nick's strength is already good......

The Golden Scorpion nodded, "Her name is Lydia, and I have already found out that it is the rumored 'Princess of Fire' Lydia." ”

As soon as the name "Princess of Gunfire" came out, the hall instantly fell silent. Only Darius sneered a few times: "A princess of the Divine Light Empire, who dares to run to the Wild Sand Empire to make trouble, is she not afraid that I will cut off her hands and feet and hang her on the city wall?" ”

With that, he waved his hand violently, "Gather the soldiers immediately, and we will go and exterminate those bandits who are making trouble!" ”

"Wait, our threat doesn't stop there." The Black Mamba stepped forward and saluted, "The forces of the Red Pavilion in the north must be cut off, but the rebels of the Second Prince Babu and the Protector of the Archmage in the south are also approaching. ”

If the Darius army dealt with the Red Pavilion, the imperial capital would inevitably fall into the hands of the Babu and the Protector Archmage.

Rattlesnake frowned, "The Red Pavilion will definitely not be able to escape, why don't we teach Babu a lesson first, and let them know what the consequences of daring to confront us are." ”

Black Mamba's eyes sank, and he thought about it slightly: "We need to make a plan that can both strike at the Red Pavilion and subdue the threat of Babu." ”

"There's a way to beat the Red Pavilion." The golden scorpion suddenly said, "Among the seven prince's castles, there are secret passages that are connected. Except for the royal family, no one knows about it, and I was lucky enough to find a secret passage and escaped back. ”

Rattlesnake was overjoyed, high-fived, and said, "Then we only need to prepare two teams of men and horses to kill the two castles occupied by the Red Pavilion and Babu from the secret passage, and then we can join forces inside and outside and attack them?" ”

The Black Mamba pondered for a while, "Babu is also a royal family, how can he not know what tunnels his castle has. If you want to surprise him, I'm afraid you're throwing yourself into the net. But the surprise attack on the Red Pavilion ...... I think it's doable. It's just how to defend against the Babu's sneak attack......"

"I have a solution."

Tsukihime was like a breeze blowing into the main hall. Her eyes shone with wisdom and cunning, and a confident smile hung on her lips.

She came to Darius, bowed deeply, and then said, "Your Majesty, perhaps I can help you with some problems." ”

Darius looked at her suspiciously, and smiled happily, "My dear queen, such a rough thing as war is not for a beautiful woman like you. ”

Tsukihime sat down beside Darius with a smile, "My dear Majesty has done so much for me, I should always do something for Your Majesty." Please allow me to speak with Prince Babu and the Lord Protector in person. ”

Darius was a little surprised: "Talk? What to talk about? ”

Tsukihime explained smoothly, "Your Majesty, I have had a few friendships with the Protector Archmage, and I can try to make peace with them for a while. ”

Seeing that Darius did not understand, she added, "The empire has been in turmoil for a long time, and now its foundation is unstable. I would like to make some simple things clear to them: if the war continues, General Darius will be invincible, and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”

When he said this, Darius blushed and nodded slightly.

Tsukihime continued, "If they stop rebelling now, we can give them a piece of the territory near the 'Temple of Wild Sands' in the south, and give him the title of a prince. ”

It was well known that the territory near the temple was fertile and rich, and if Babuphon was given a vassal king, it would mean that they would gain greater power and status. Such conditions are already very tempting.

But Darius was a little uneasy in his heart, "If it's just a negotiation, just send a few advisors to make a trip, why let you go on a trip yourself." I don't want you to take any risks. ”

Tsukihime gently shook Darius's hand, "Your Majesty, I will only be more sincere when I go." I believe this is the best way to quell the rebellion. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will be careful and return safely. ”

Darius let out a long sigh of resignation. He knew that what Tsukihime said was right, after a country, he personally came to the door to negotiate peace, which was definitely the highest standard of treatment, and it was also the method with the greatest success rate.

He was silent for a long time before nodding, "Stay safe and come back soon." “

……

That night, Tsukihime took only a few retinues, three cars, and a few coachmen in shifts, and ran to the southern Prince's Fort in the dark night day and night.

The gates of Ba'b's castle were opened, and in the distance you could see clusters of bonfires glittering in the night, illuminating the chaotic land. The tents were layered on top of each other, exuding an oppressive aura.

Led by the soldiers, Tsukihime walked into the castle. In the hall, Prince Babu sat on a huge chair, his hands on the armrests, looking white and thin, as if he had been afflicted by some kind of disease. His gaze was cold and deep, as if he could see through Tsukihime's heart.

When Tsukihime got closer, she suddenly stopped.

She saw the woman, a naked woman, floating behind Báb, making a grunting sound.

As the candlelight in the hall lit up a little more, she finally saw clearly, it was a pitch-black tentacle that was wrapping around the woman like a python, squirming and playing with her body. And the other end of the tentacle...... It seems to grow on the body of the Báb.

A hint of ridicule appeared in Yueji's eyes, "This kind of refining tentacle was originally an auxiliary weapon developed by the demon clan, but it was used by you to play with women, it seems that the training of the Grand Mage of the Protector is far from enough." ”

Prince Babu looked at Tsukihime arrogantly, and suddenly waved his tentacles to throw the poor woman aside, and then the tentacles swept over like a giant snake, tightly wrapped Tsukihime, and held it high in the air, "It seems that you want to understand the power of this tentacle?" ”

Tsukihime looked at him calmly, "I'm here to negotiate with you. ”

Prince Babu arrogantly retorted, "Why should I talk to you?" I now have the power of the demons, and I can destroy everything as I want. ”

His tentacles writhed wildly, tearing Tsukihime's dress apart with a single tear. He looked greedily at Tsukihime's body, his eyes full of wildness and madness, as if he was already the ruler of this world.

Unexpectedly, despite being honest with each other, Tsukihime remained calm, "It can be seen that you have gained some power from the Demon Clan, but unfortunately you have not yet obtained the qualification to join the Demon Clan." ”

Prince Babu was suddenly stunned, and his tentacles that were about to move immediately stopped.

"I can help you make that happen." Tsukihime said suddenly.

Prince Babu looked at her in surprise, "Just you?" Why? ”

Tsukihime only moved slightly, and Prince Babu suddenly realized that his tentacles had defied his orders and placed her on the ground. Before Babu could ask anything, he saw that the energy of soul magic was gradually gathering in Tsukihime's heart.

Immediately afterward, her body was densely crawled with soul marks, emitting a faint blue glow in the darkness.

"This is ......" Prince Babu's eyes grew wider, "the Demon King's coat of arms?!" Who are you? ”

Tsukihime smiled and nodded, "I am the biological daughter of the Demon King and the Demon Lord, the Black Emperor. Now I want to represent Darius, negotiate with you. Do you think it's okay? ”

Prince Babu was stunned.

Tsukihime suddenly looked around again, "Before the peace talks, can you get me a piece of clothing to wear?" I don't have a habit of negotiating with people without clothes. ”
