Devil’s Son-in-Law

Shadow Empire Palace, in front of the Grand Palace.

“Lilith, I want to see Your Highness. ”

“His Majesty, Prince Wikirsa, shall not disturb anyone while discussing important matters with His Uncle Franz. ”

“I have something important to tell Your Majesty, can you shoulder this responsibility if it is delayed? ”

“Sorry, Prince Wikirsa, Lilith is responsible...”

“Bang!” sounded like a slap.

“Hmm! How dare a district marshal stop me from reporting urgent matters to His Majesty? ”

Lilith, with five red marks on her face, was not afraid. She waved her hand and was about to launch a signal to convene a no-guard attack. The man behind Prince Wikirsa stepped forward and had not seen anything yet. Lilith felt terrible and oppressed and couldn't move for a moment.

“Lilith...” Catherine's voice came from the hall, and Lilith felt the oppressive momentum suddenly collapse: “Bring them in. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Lilith entered the palace with Prince Wikirsa and his entourage, where Catherine sat on the throne, beside his uncle Franz. At the time of Catherine's “closure”, as Her Majesty's own uncle and the most senior prince of the parish, Franz, who had acted as Regent, then “cleared” Catherine, immediately asked her to resign and return her power to Catherine.

Prince Wikirsa is about thirty years old and looks magnificent and handsome. Watching the first beautiful Emperor of the veiled demonic kingdom on the throne, the colour of greed swept past Wikirsa's eyes and bowed in a faraway manner: “Your Majesty! Forgive my disrespect, Your Highness, for I have the latest top secret information to report to His Majesty. ”

Catherine did not give her seat as usual, but simply said: "Tell me, Wikirsa. ”

“I have the latest news that the Fallen Angel Empire will be here in three days...”

Catherine's faint voice interrupted his remarks: "Three days from now, there will be a parade ceremony planned to be broadcast to the whole demonic world via magic television, and the news I got yesterday is what you call top secret intelligence? ”

Wikirsa revealed an embarrassing colour: “It turns out His Majesty had a plan and I was worried about it for nothing, but there is one more thing, a month from now, when Emperor Rezen's martial arts convention is about to be held, His Majesty should be there. ”

Katherine nodded slightly: “I have received an invitation from Ray Chan himself. ”

Wikirsa immediately said: "This martial arts congress is extraordinary, and Ray Chan will fight personally. It may be extraordinary and dangerous. Your Majesty must consider it carefully. ”

“Where do you think I need to think carefully? For example... the Crown Prince's choice?” A scornful smile appeared behind Catherine's veil.

“Your Majesty, wise!” Wikirsa said positively: “While it would be offensive to discuss this topic, as an imperial controller, this is an aspect that must be considered. ”

“You're right.” Catherine suddenly turned her voice, "You broke into the hall to give me this so-called 'reminder’? ”

Wikirsa's expression lagged behind and she bowed her head: “I'm just trying to be a nation, and I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness for my disrespect, so I quit. ”

“Wait,” Katherine said, adding a few points to her voice: "Who hit Lilith in the face? ”

Wikirsa shocked: “Your Majesty, it was just a misunderstanding...”

“Rogev, formerly known as Tustan, the Middle Demon Emperor, the Mammon Crown, who is good at camouflage and deformation, has been lurking around Wikirsa for many years and is regarded as heartfelt and trusted. ”

Catherine's faint voice shook the man behind Wikirsa, and the first reaction was to pounce on Wikirsa. Wikirsa was suddenly caught in the throat by his heart, Rojav.

“It was Catherine the Great who spyed on my identity early in the morning.” Rojav has a faint blackness in his hands, "with His Majesty's eyes, it should be seen that my dark power has eroded into His Royal Highness Prince Wikirsa's soul, and with a little thought, his soul can dissipate. All I want now is to get out of here safely and ask His Majesty to let me live, otherwise His Royal Highness will be my companion. ”

“To threaten an emperor… you are not qualified.” Catherine shook her head gently and the light in her black eyes swept through her, and Roger shook, starting with his hand strangling Wikirsa's neck, and her body dissipated into a piece of ash.

Wikirsa escaped from her death, trembling a few steps back, unable to stand steady, sitting on the floor with one ass, where there was no previous inclination and style.

Katherine looked despicably at Wikirsa: “Now you can quit, the next time you dare to break into the hall, you know the consequences… go out later and apologize to Lilith, just forget it. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Wikirsa was covered in cold sweat and retreated with a rolling belt.

Leaving with Wikirsa's figure in sight, the silent Frenz spoke: “His Majesty's power is growing stronger, and it seems that this shutdown has yielded considerable results, except that... if I see these old eyes correctly, that Rojav's power has eroded into Wikirsa's body, and if not healed, for a long time, it will become insane even if I do not die. When His Majesty was a princess, Wikirsa had admired His Majesty's beauty. After all these years, she knew nothing but speculation. This time, she was delusional enough to become a warlord. She was hopeless and wanted to die. ”

“The Emperor kept his eyes on the torch.” Catherine smiled slightly, she had just deliberately, and Wikirsa had been admiring her beauty and the throne behind her. If there is a talent to be returned, it's a piece of junk, the ability doesn't match the wildness at all, it's just that the prince's identity is a bit special, and this is a critical time, just in case Catherine decides to strangle the empire with the hands of the enemy.

Franz sighed: "I've misjudged someone my whole life, almost ruining my daughter's life, and I regret not taking your advice. ”

Katherine knew who he was talking about, comforting her: "Forget it, Uncle, it's over. I hear Medilu has found the man he wants now. ”

Franz smiled bitterly: “Forget it, that bastard... Alas, but Medilu is settled now. Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's move on to what we just talked about. ”

Katherine nodded: “Generally speaking, parades are conducted in secret, even at some sort of celebration, but only formally. At a time when the armistice agreement between the three empires was about to expire, the Fallen Angel Empire suddenly announced that it would broadcast live military parades through magic television without knowing exactly what the purpose was. Unless Shea can come up with a deterrent to Ray Zen or my force, this parade will just happen to be awkward... I don't know why, I'm feeling a little restless and it always feels like something big is going to happen. ”

Frenz frowned: "Rationally, it's quiet before the storm. It's not a good opportunity for His Majesty or Sire and Rezen, and Wikirsa is just a small move. ”

“Not bad,” Catherine couldn't think of, "I guess I was worried. ”

At this point, Lilith hurried in: "Your Majesty, Secretary of the Treasury Al has an urgent request. ”

“Let him in.” Catherine was slightly surprised to be able to be called an “emergency" by Al, which is definitely not normal, so Lilith came straight to the briefing under the trade-off.

Shortly after, Treasury Secretary Al walked into the palace, and Al was a skinny, tall middle-aged man with a bright face, but now he's just a little scared: “Your Majesty, no, something's wrong with the bank! ”

“Banks?” Catherine was shocked when Frenchy ordered the creation of a national bank, modelled on the Fallen Angel Empire, and she was “closed”. By the time she left customs, the banks had spread across the territories, and Catherine had not denied the decree because the three empires were vigorously setting up national banks, with considerable returns. The bank has grown so far and is very popular, with almost everyone holding a magic card.

“It is true that bank liquidity has begun to shrink for various reasons, and rumours have been circulating in various corners of the three empires in recent times that the armistice agreement is expiring, that the three countries are about to wage another war, that once the war is fought, the currency will devalue, and that food available to a white crystal coin may take a black crystal coin to buy, among other things. Although this rumor once subsided with efforts everywhere, the days did not know why the sudden outbreak of violence, more and more people were taking money. Starting this morning, Tidu banks lined up a long line of money withdrawal. If this continued, the magic crystal coins of the bank's reserves would soon run out, once there was no money to take...”

Once this happens, not only will the credibility of the Empire be greatly undermined, but there will be a series of terrible consequences, and Catherine immediately figured out the seriousness of the matter and became incredibly aggravated: "How long can it last if emergency funds from the treasury are used? ”

“Not to mention the territories, as far as Teito Bank is concerned, three days at most,” said Al bitterly, “if this tide of money collection continues. ”

“Why is the gap so big?” Catherine was shocked, and Frenz was horrified, like a sudden blow, and quite deadly.

“This rumor was preceded by massive loans and the signing of long-term agreements. According to a recent investigation, banks in various territories appear to have done the same, and I suspect that… there has been deliberate manipulation. ”

“According to someone, this is like the last straw that overwhelms the camel.” Catherine's eyes trembled slightly and seemed to think of something from "someone," Al, two things. First, all available funds should be mobilized immediately to deal with the crisis; secondly, details of the long-term lender heads and the whereabouts of the funds should be investigated. Whatever you do, make sure you get through it! ”

“Yes! ”

“Lilith, you will summon the ministers to the palace immediately for an emergency meeting. ”

After Lilith and Al left, Catherine took a deep breath and calmed down: “Uncle, it seems we were all wrong. In this most unlikely scenario, the opponent actually took the shot, and this hit hit us with an unexpected harm. ”

Frenz nodded in a heavy spot: "It was an accident, and it was such an unprecedented means that it could not be prevented! ”

“If I had guessed correctly, Ray Chan would definitely have the same headache as us right now.” Catherine is holding the armrest of the throne a little tight, "a deadly attack with no memory of blood! I see, he was already planning this blow when the Troika Armistice was in place... that damn guy! ”
