Chapter 880: Condition; Son-in-law of the Demon Realm
“The b.l.o.o.d.y Empire will make every effort to popularize the magic game. In the future, military and college training, selection, and advancement will add the corresponding magic game a.s.sessments.” Raizen was the first to express his approval.
I thought Raizen will be the most resistant. I didn’t expect that he was actually the first to agree. Chen Rui was startled, “You actually believe me so much? Maybe these are just an illusion created by me.”
“Hmph! My eyes are not confused to this level, and with your current strength or personal force, there is no need to lie… Most importantly, over the years, I have also received some intel related to altar and blood sacrifice.”
“I suggest that the 3 empires join forces, strike the root cause, and destroy all churches and believers who wors.h.i.+p the abyss.” Shea’s suggestion was approved by the 2 rulers. In fact, the Fallen Angel Empire had secretly begun doing this 2 years ago, but with little success.
Catherine’s thinking was even far-reaching. She proposed the idea of game battle compet.i.tion across the entire Demon Realm which would promote the improvement of the combat power of all people compared with the separate dungeon compet.i.tion, team battle, and so on.
She even thought of the inter-empire esport. As expected of the child’s mother. Seeing that the 3 rulers agreed, Chen Rui nodded again and again. There was no doubt that after learning about the common terrifying enemy of the ‘Abyss’, the unity of the confederation alliance would be stronger in the future.
“Since this is the case, when the alliance is established, I will transfer all the economic benefits of the magic game belonging to the 2 empires, and the 3 empires will further strengthen military cooperation. I will provide the confederation with magic gun technology. As for others, due to the limitations of the alchemy civilization, it cannot be shared.”
Catherine nodded slightly, “Then, we can start the preparations for the formation of the confederation alliance as soon as possible.”
“Wait.” Raizen sneered, “The b.l.o.o.d.y Empire didn’t agree to join this alliance.”
As soon as these words came out, the other 3 were quite speechless. We were talking so enthusiastically just now, and now you suddenly change your mind?
“I can accept all the conditions you proposed earlier, even including the Samael Royal Family joining the alliance, but you must promise me 1 condition.” Raizen’s burning gaze turned to Chen Rui.
“Me?” Chen Rui pointed to his nose with astonishment.
This time he partic.i.p.ated in the meeting without wearing a mask, and he used the face of the mechanical master which would appear in the public for a long time in the future.
“Yes, you.” Raizen snorted coldly.
“What?” Chen Rui obviously resorted to Ms. Fairy Dragon’s fake daze. It can’t be making an agreement for some sort of battle, right?
“You marry my daughter.” Raizen said almost word for word.
“What?!” Although the same word, Chen Rui was already shocked this time. Is there a problem with my ears or did old Raizen take the wrong medicine? Why is his thinking so out-of-the-box?
It’s popular to give out daughters these days? Auglas gave 2, but 1 has become a sister, and the other has been returned.
Raizen’s condition was so unexpected that Catherine and Shea were equally taken aback.
“This is my only condition.” Raizen said firmly, “Otherwise, the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire will never compromise and fight until the last man!”
“Wait! Your Majesty Raizen.” Chen Rui spoke quickly, “This is an empire affair…”
Raizen sneered coldly, “Marrying my daughter is an empire affair.”
The words ‘political marriage’ appeared in Chen Rui’s mind. He didn’t expect that one day he would also encounter such a thing. He quickly shook his head and said, “I’m the prince consort of the Fallen Angel Empire, how can I marry the princess of the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire? “
“Do you think I’m a fool?” Raizen’s face was terrifyingly gloomy as he pointed at Catherine, “Then what is your relations.h.i.+p with the Dark Shadow Empire’s Royal Majesty Empress?”
“…”
“Hmph! That alliance looks very attractive, but the compet.i.tion in it is equally fierce. Among the 3 rulers of the alliance empires, 2 are your women! Even if you swear not to interfere in government affairs, you are well known for your abilities. The magic game alone can overturn the entire Demon Realm. If this continues, the Dark Shadow Empire and the Fallen Angel Empire will team up. No matter whether the alliance continues or not, the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire will have no place at all in the future. So, you must marry my daughter.”
Catherine and Shea glanced at each other and quickly exchanged silent communication. At this moment, their ident.i.ties were not only 2 rulers, but also ‘family members’.
Moments later, Shea was the first to comment, “Your Majesty Raizen is right, it’s really not a private matter but an empire matter.”
“The b.l.o.o.d.y Empire has a large population and the largest territory. The tenacity and combat power of its soldiers are the highest among the 3 empires. In addition, if the whole nation became soldiers, even if a war is launched, it cannot be solved in a short time.” Catherine’s a.n.a.lysis was more convincing, “The war of the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire annihilating the Wrath Empire lasted only 5 years, but even after 50 years, the post-war situation is still not stabilized… Besides, the Demon Realm is now ushering in a rare era of rapid development. No one wants war to happen.”
Shea nodded, “For an empire and for the entire Demon Realm, it only takes a marriage to completely avoid the occurrence of war. Everyone knows how to choose.”
“As expected of both Royal Majesty.” Raizen’s facial expression finally relaxed, “I mean what I say. The b.l.o.o.d.y Empire will accept all the terms of the alliance just now, and start to fully prepare for the preliminary work of the alliance. The day ‘Aguile’ and my daughter get married is the day the alliance is officially established.”
“Wait a minute…” Chen Rui, who was the main party, broke down in cold sweat when he heard that the 3 of them had concluded the political marriage.
Unexpectedly, Catherine and Shea didn’t seem to see him. Catherine asked Raizen directly, “Your Majesty doesn’t seem to have a princess. I wonder which n.o.ble lady in the royal family?”
Everyone knew Raizen did not have a daughter, so he should find a royal bloodline to give the princess name for marriage. This kind of thing was very common among empires.
Raizen shook his head and gave a shocking answer, “No, I have a daughter, and… this time it’s not the princess who will marry, but the empress of the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire.”
Chen Rui and the other 2 were shocked at the same time. Raizen’s intention was obvious. He would pa.s.s the throne to his daughter and withdraw from the political arena.
In this way, Chen Rui became the 3 empires’ empress’… co-prince consort? This was a veritable son-in-law of the Demon Realm.
“In the future, your sons and daughters must become the throne inheritors of the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire.” Raizen glanced at Catherine and Shea. “In this way, the Demon Realm can truly usher in lasting peace.”
Catherine and Shea couldn’t help nodding their heads. The 3 empires formed a confederation alliance of equality and mutual a.s.sistance. In the future, the 3 empires’ empresses would be blood relatives. This a.s.sociation was much more stable than a general alliance.
“You’ve actually seen my daughter before.” Raizen glanced at Chen Rui, who was speechless, and continued to bombard him with explosive news.
“Tiffany.”
“Her situation is a bit special because her mother is human.”
“She’s in a little trouble now, and you have to bring her back safely.”
Raizen’s words made Chen Rui calm down gradually from surprise. Some mysteries in his mind were finally revealed – That mysterious n.o.ble Ms. Tiffany is actually Raizen’s daughter! That is why Raizen strongly opposed the pursuit of Tiffany by several princes.
Even more surprising is that her mother is human! No wonder she has a physique of light and dark attributes!
On the 4th floor of the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire’s Book Collection Hall, Tiffany underwent a ‘baptism of light and darkness’ with Sariel’s power and became a ‘key’ leading to a mysterious place. According to Sariel 2 years ago, the baptism of light and darkness on Tiffany’s body will take 2-3 years to completely condense. At that time, she will set off to that mysterious and dangerous place to find the silver box. Counting the time, it should be soon.
Chen Rui suddenly thought: Raizen’s request for this marriage will not only bring back Tiffany safely, but also make the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire prosper in the confederation alliance through marriage. It can be said to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Catherine and Shea couldn’t help thinking of Chen Rui’s ident.i.ty when they heard that Raizen’s daughter’s mother was actually human. Shea asked tentatively, “Where is Princess Tiffany now?”
“I don’t know either, but there is 1 thing I know.” Although Raizen was answering Shea’s question, he said it to Chen Rui. He slowly opened his palm, and a ring lay quietly inside.
This ring did not have any special decorations or inlays. It looked bland with just a faint red light, but with Chen Rui’s sensing ability, he immediately found the powerful strength it contained. Catherine on the other side blurted out emotionally, “b.l.o.o.d.y Ring!”
1 of the 7 artifacts, b.l.o.o.d.y Ring!
“This daughter has rarely been by my side since she was a child… She has more hatred for me… I will give you the b.l.o.o.d.y Ring. Her blood was refined into the ring using the secret technique a long time ago. Although I don’t know her specific location now, the b.l.o.o.d.y Ring can point you in the right direction and help you find her.”
Looking at the highest artifact of the b.l.o.o.d.y Empire handed over by Raizen, Chen Rui was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Raizen would give him the b.l.o.o.d.y Ring.
Of course, Raizen had another intention of borrowing Chen Rui’s hand to pa.s.s the b.l.o.o.d.y Ring and even the entire b.l.o.o.d.y Empire into the hands of the daughter who ‘had more hatred for him’.
Catherine and Shea’s gaze exchanged quickly, and they finally reached a tacit understanding. Catherine spoke up to Chen Rui, “Take it. As Her Majesty Shea said just now, this is not your personal matter anymore. The confederation alliance is your proposal. This peaceful situation has always been your ideal, and now it is only the last step away from the establishment of the alliance and real peace. Do you want to overthrow all your previous efforts?”
Shea showed her approval, and Raizen understood that the 2 were expressing their stance to him, so he nodded with satisfaction. So far, Raizen had a considerable understanding of the opponent ‘Aguile’. Not only did he had terrifying strength, but he also had the inheritance of ancient times. More importantly, ‘Aguile’ would do everything to protect his woman.
Raizen had experienced this firsthand at the Jergal Fortress and the Warlock Fortress, a man who fought with his life whether for Catherine or Shea. Because of this, even women like Catherine were completely conquered by him. Even if it was a political marriage, as long as Tiffany became his woman, he could rest a.s.sured for both public and private reasons.
Chen Rui looked at the eyes of the 3 with a bitter smile. In this case, do I still have any choice?
TL: Possible that he could get more princess/empress?
