Devil’s Son-in-Law

On this day, the Fallen Angel Emperor welcomed the most important "guest”.

Having assembled a large number of troops in the shadow empire on the border of the Fallen Angel Empire, after the arrival of Shea Lightning, a new messenger was finally dispatched to reach Didu via the Fortress of Tekula.

This time the messenger was a "acquaintance”, headed by the third general of the Shadow Empire, Carver, and the deputy envoy was the new chief of the Shadow first business family, the Casters, Céline. Carrefour is an old friend of Shea, who had made bilateral visits and cooperated closely during the Dark Moon, and Céline's family of Casters was the first commercial family to enter the Dark Moon territory, and established joint chambers of commerce with several families of the Dark Moon, with which both parties had close ties. The presence of these two men should be a positive signal of a change of attitude on the part of Catherine.

At the first time in the palace of the palace, Shea led the group to formally meet with Kafu, at which time the nominee for Prime Minister left and right was not agreed, and the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Military Affairs were still chosen by the elderly family.

“Seen His Majesty Shea.” Carver entered the hall and bowed down to Shea with Céline behind him.

Hia is no longer the original lord, but the queen of an empire, and in a situation of confrontation between the two countries, he did not say to the two acquaintances and cheers, but simply bluntly: “The two envoys have come a long way and have worked so hard. ”

Kafou stood upright and said with all due respect: "On this occasion, I came at the behest of His Majesty Catherine to congratulate His Majesty on becoming the Great Fallen Angel and to revisit the matter of cooperation between the two countries. ”

“Thanks to the congratulations of Catherine the Great, the friendly relations between the fallen angels and the shadows are long overdue, except that His Majesty, Catherine, has accumulated heavy troops on our two borders, which does not seem to be a gesture of friendship? ”

"The reason for the build-up was the instability in your country after His Majesty's victory over Prince Obsidian in the wilderness of the town of Reyes, and in order to prevent civil unrest, His Majesty Catherine was prepared to contribute to the stabilization of His Majesty's political situation. ”

Naturally, this explanation is just a pretext, which Lilith used in the dark moon.

“Before His Majesty Catherine ‘helped’ me, I had successfully climbed, so she had no choice but to know how long this' friendly 'way of expressing herself in your country intends to continue? ”

Knowing that the so-called "friendship” referred to the army of the border, Carrefour smiled slightly: “This has to do with my second purpose here, His Majesty Catherine hopes to re-establish relations of friendship and neighbourliness with His Majesty Shea, following the Regent of Montenegro, to renegotiate and conclude a treaty of cooperation between the two countries and to move together on the road to prosperity. ”

Without those armies, it would still be normal to build a relationship, but with the accumulation of armies on the border, there would inevitably be a hidden threat. In other words, Obsidian is Obsidian, Shea is Shea, and the Shadow Empire could continue to live in peace with the Fallen Angel Empire, but a cooperation treaty must be signed to the satisfaction of Catherine, otherwise those armies would never have been set up.

“I look forward to the prospect of friendship and cooperation between the two countries. For my friends, my country will hold together, go hand in hand, and create a splendor. In exchange, even with a sharp knife and blade, the Fallen Angel Empire will face up without fear, preferring to crush bones with its enemies and not abandon faith and dignity.” Speaking of the last sentence, Shea slowly rose from the throne and watched Carver quietly.

The steps of the throne are only two levels, even if Shea stood up, just flat with the tall Carrefour, but at this moment, Carrefour was in a bit of a trance, as if he were really looking up to Shea. This woman, who used to ride alongside him, has risen to the level of the queen he fears most.

Not only Carrefour, but the many ministers and elders in the palace all felt different, even Angeles - Shea showed unprecedented strength and courage, something that had never existed before in Obsidian.

Carrefour quickly returned to God and produced a flame envelope: "I have seen His Majesty's determination, and I have a handwritten letter from Her Majesty, asking His Majesty to read it. ”

Stiller next to Shea took the first steps and delivered the envelope to Shea. In the process, Stiller had used four methods to detect no danger. Shea received Stiller's eyes and opened the letter for a while. Her eyes turned a little more sharp. She shouted "whoop” and lit a black flame in her hand. The letter was instantly torched.

This act in front of Carver was clearly very unfriendly, and from the look on Shea's face, the letter should have been quite excessive. In any event, Shea is the queen of the Fallen Angel Empire, and her humiliation is the humiliation of the face of the Empire as a whole. Whether it is true anger or false posturing, almost everyone shows bad looks towards Carrefour and Céline as if to leave the messengers of the two shadow empires to smoke away by a single order.

That invisible pressure has left Céline in a state of fear and Carrefour still looks the same: “Your Majesty, I did not know the details of this letter beforehand, but came to your country to negotiate with the sincerity of the Shadow Empire. When I arrived, His Majesty Catherine specifically instructed me that, after His Majesty's reading the letter, I had two options: first, to return immediately to the Shadow Empire; and secondly, to stay and continue to negotiate matters of cooperation. I now ask His Majesty Shea to give me a choice. ”

This option was actually given to Thea by Catherine, but Carrefour's language was very euphemistic and became Thea's choice for him as an envoy. If Kafou were to return immediately, which would certainly mean that the talks had collapsed, then it was likely that the Fallen Angel Empire would be truly prepared for a tough war, which was clearly not the intention of the Fallen Angel Empire.

“His Majesty Catherine's appetite is not insignificant...” Shea's purple eyes fluctuated, took a deep breath and slowly sat down. "However, since the messenger was here to negotiate, many things were uncertain and could sit down and talk until the outcome was determined. It is not too early, General Carver and Miss Selene have been traveling all the way. I am sure they will be tired. Please go back to the Royal Hotel and rest. At night I will host friends from the Shadow Empire. ”

The ministers and elders on both sides, hearing the first sentence, have implicitly guessed that Catherine must have made demands to touch the bottom line of Shea, such as ceding the Dark Moon territory, but Shea soon regained her calm or intended to sit down and negotiate with the messengers of the Shadow Empire.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity, and then we will be disrespectful.” Carver bowed down with Céline and, accompanied by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, left the palace to rest at the Royal Hotel.

After the shadow left, Shea opened her mouth: “Gentlemen, although Catherine did not intend to fight with us, the power of the Shadow Empire is after all over us, and if the war is really triggered in some situation, then by contrast with the power of the two countries, it is likely that she will wound me to death. On the one hand, we need to be prepared for war and the worst of intentions, and on the other, we need to be careful with the shadows. Negotiations were conducted by Stiller and Disyak, complemented by Stevier, Angele, Redotan and Melotta. The deadline for negotiations will be postponed for a while, and you can try to reach out to the two messengers and look into the bottom. That Catherine the Great has a great appetite. He really wants to sit down and negotiate peace. We will certainly lose if we are weak. The extent of this loss depends on the efforts of both parties to rely on each other as much as possible. ”

Angeles et al. had previously restrained Hiato, but negotiations were the most important thing at the moment and concerned the fate of the entire empire. They dared not to be too slow at the moment and were destined to die.

After the meeting, Shea arrived at the Palace, where Chen Rui and Isabella were waiting for her. Chen Rui's current status was only that of Vice President of the Royal Guard, and Isabella's identity was not suitable for public appearance, so neither of them attended the meeting, but they could see clearly behind the Palace, especially the scene where Shea burned Katherine's letters.

“What exactly did Catherine write in her letter?” Chen Rui is curious about the matter now, and with Hia's calm mind, he will not generally do that.

Thea glanced at him and said, "Can't you guess? ”

“Don't look at me too high, if the opponent is Catherine, I don't necessarily count for ten.” Chen Rui suddenly remembered those dark eyes as deep as a lake, his heart slightly fluttered, and he hadn't seen the owner of those eyes for a long time.

“You don't have to be paranoid, but Catherine is a terrible opponent.” Shea sighed: “But I intentionally burned that letter. Surprisingly, Catherine gave me an amazing plot, this plot...”

“… exactly as we planned?” Isabella answered.

“More powerful than we planned," Shea nodded slightly, sighing, “she has learned everything, including the fateful gesture I have to make, and I am now subject to the situation of the senator family. Her plan was, at a time no one would have expected, to use thunder to take advantage of the opportunity to pull out obstacles, as a condition that she could use the army to create momentum on the border and help me stall or even resolve Baroque and others, calm down domestic opposition forces and give me full control of the Empire's power! The implication behind this plot is that she can use it against me in reverse. If I refuse, Catherine will also intentionally spread this plan" in cooperation "and make a corresponding gesture, indicating that I will join forces with her to eliminate the old family and other impediments. When life and death survive, the old family will definitely rise up to resistance, then the emperor and even the empire will be in civil unrest, then she will take advantage of the momentum to send troops, then even if I want to drag the Shadow Empire to die together...”

Isabella and Chen Rui looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes, finally understanding why Shea was so angry that she burned the letter.

Chen Rui asked, "What is Catherine's condition? ”

Shea took a deep look at him: “Harsher than last time, it was unacceptable, and it was particularly emphasized that she wanted the talent of 'Chen Rui'. Looks like you're more popular than I thought, even the most beautiful woman in the demonic world will remember. ”

“Outside the reputation, there's no way, 'The Demonic World's First Energizer’.” Chen Ruiyi scratched his head in vain and had a bad feeling.

Isabella looked at Chen Rui's face and suddenly smiled softly: “Actually, there is no way. ”

At the same time, Shea and Chen Rui's eyes fell on her face. The head of the intelligence lady smiled. Even through the veil, she could still feel the touching atmosphere.
