Chapter 818 - 254: The Prince’s Wedding Preparations
"You really are long-winded." The Prince supported the mirror in front of her, revealing a disdainful sneer.
No matter what, the Prince always maintained her arrogance.
Outside, the Mirror King was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised.
"Did you obtain all the authority?"
The Mirror King fiddled with the system interface, tilting his head, "I thought you had some backup plan, all the authority is in my hands..."
"Then what about this?"
A red button was pressed.
The Mirror King’s pupils slightly constricted, that wasn’t the original self-destruct system of the Mirror Country...
Was it something the Prince added recently?
All the devices in the Mirror Country that had come back to life, those machines, systems, all began flashing red.
The main system also started to flash.
[Warning, Warning: System entering self-destruct mode, self-destruct mode countdown, fifty seconds.]
[Forty-nine seconds.]
The Mirror King’s initially flippant expression finally turned serious, "Do you know what you’re doing?"
"If you don’t return my body, I’ll destroy the entire Mirror Country."
"Do you think you can threaten me? As long as I’m alive, the Mirror Country won’t perish..."
As she spoke, she saw the Prince in the mirror smash the mirror with a punch!
From the shattered mirror, the Prince extended a bloodied hand, grabbing one of the mirror shards.
And then the Mirror King found that her own body, involuntarily, also grabbed a mirror shard.
"When did I ever say you could live? My mother."
The mirror shard suddenly plunged into the temple, amidst the spurt of blood, both the Prince inside the mirror and the Mirror King outside knelt down simultaneously.
The Mirror King’s whole body shivered, struggling to lift her head, the fractured shards reflecting several of her own disheveled selves.
On her face of agony, blood was streaming, even carrying a bit of panic and incomprehension.
"Do you really know what you’re doing?"
"Either give my body back, or we die together, letting the Mirror Country disappear from history forever."
"You have no reason to take such a risk."
"Because, I am not taking a risk."
The Prince gave a cold smile, deep-seated pride and contempt, looking at her mother.
"Look at your current state, mother, truly unsightly, letting the Mirror Country fall into your hands is what leaves it without a future."
Returning to her body outside the mirror, her mother’s consciousness data returned to the mirror as well, just staring at her intently.
The Prince nonchalantly removed the mirror shard from her temple, and all systems’ self-destruct sequences stopped.
Then robots brought over gauze and medicine to bandage her.
"From the start, it was my hundred percent victory, my mother."
"You couldn’t bear to part with the Mirror Country, nor could you bear to part with yourself."
The Prince used blood-stained fingers to smear her lips, like lipstick, and lightly smeared them onto her mother’s lips in the mirror, "But I can give up anything."
"You really are a madman." The Mirror King muttered, "I underestimated you, Itaen."
"Thank you for your acknowledgment, but unfortunately, you overestimated me."
The Mirror King snorted coldly, "The you from before absolutely couldn’t have taken such a step, what on earth happened."
𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Smiling, she invoked the main system’s authority to lock the mirror and eternally imprison her mother’s last bit of data.
The Prince stood up after bandaging her wound, and walked outside.
The revived Mirror Country, along with the true authority belonging to the Mirror King.
All were already in hand.
She picked up her crown and sat on the throne.
To perform her final coronation.
[Congratulations: You can now call yourself Emperor!]
Sitting quietly on the throne, the Prince merely looked indifferently at everything below the Mirror Country, those transparent glassware.
Those machines, Alice, including those devices that had never operated under her orders, all started running at this moment.
The long-dormant Mirror Country finally began to truly revive!
Lightly licking the crimson on her lips with her tongue, recalling her mother’s last inquiry, the Prince tilted her head, her right hand supporting her head and crown, faintly smiling:
"Why go to such lengths..."
"Can’t let him marry an old woman, now can I."
"If I can’t produce a dowry befitting my status, I’d be too ashamed to even lift my head in front of him, after all, the first child must take my surname..."
