Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 592 - 593: Sadik Royal Family

Several hours later,

After the meeting with the Red Leaf Emperor and a group of high-ranking officials had ended, Nora, as a Holy Envoy, once again put on her white mask and, escorted by many high-ranking Red Leaf officials, arrived at the front gate of the palace.

Looking at Nora, who had put on her mask and hood, Anliya, one of the farewell party, had a very complex expression.

Unexpectedly,

The woman who used to be at odds with her has become a companion one day.

Additionally,

The Tower Master of the Red Moon Tower is actually the true identity of Higanbana... No wonder their defense and detection systems are no different from paper.

While slightly sighing, Anliya frowned, as if she had thought of something, and directly stopped Nora:

"Hey."

Nora: "Hmm?"

As the voice reached her ears, Nora stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion to look at the Queen of the North, who stood with her hands crossed in front of her chest:

"Northern Queen, is there anything else you need to instruct?"

"Hmph, I’m really not used to you being so polite."

Anliya muttered unhappily.

"Since we will cooperate in the future, I think there are some things I need to tell you, to bring to the attention of your Pope."

"What is it?"

Nora placed her hands in front of her, posing as an elegant listener.

"Please speak."

"About the Girl of Destiny, the trump card of this Holy War, isn’t it the Girl of Destiny? If something goes wrong with her, wouldn’t we all be finished?"

"Oh? What problem?"

"When I previously controlled the hawk to search for traces of the demon dragon, I saw your Girl of Destiny. She was rescued by Bloody Butterfly. I don’t think the Bloody Butterfly would sincerely save a person chosen by fate who is her sworn enemy. There must be some unknown secret. Since she is the Demon Temple, who knows if she might have other abilities? Maybe the Bloody Butterfly has already brainwashed the Girl of Destiny with the power of Shadow, or controlled her with Higanbana power. You need to check her out thoroughly."

"Of course, thank you for your reminder, Northern Queen."

"And there’s also..."

"Hmm?"

"I just heard from Amon, Miss Mengxi, since the SkyDome Banquet in Snow Night Empire, has been often mixing with Bloody Butterfly, and their relationship are quite good. The Bloody Butterfly deliberately arranging for the demon dragon to attack the Girl of Destiny, and then rescuing her herself, is probably to deceive the feelings of the Girl of Destiny. Are you sure, that when the time comes, the Girl of Destiny will be able to take action?"

"Hehe~, that’s not a problem, you don’t need to worry."

"I’m just giving you a heads-up."

Anliya said unhappily,

While speaking,

Anliya’s eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully staring at Nora’s neck:

"Speaking of which, did you hurt your neck?"

"Hurt?"

"Yes, such an obvious scar, making it look like someone’s head was chopped off once. Can’t it heal itself?"

"Well, this..."

Touching the hideous scar on her neck with her hand, Nora’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained composure and let out a light laugh:

"This is from when I fought with Higanbana, injured by the bloody thorns. The thorns probably had poison, causing the self-healing to be much slower. It’s nothing to worry about."

"Tch, whatever."

Nora: "..."

Sadiq Empire Capital - Rubitania

In the blue-toned royal reception room, a black-haired young man in fine clothes was somewhat casually leaning on the sofa, beside him were two fully armed knights of extraordinary temperament, and a middle-aged woman with glasses looking serious and stern.

This young man is the youngest emperor in the history of the Sadiq Empire – Leo.

The unremarkable-looking middle-aged woman is the high-ranking Ferona Baroness of the empire.

Sitting opposite Leo and talking to him is the highest leader of the Asumos Church in the Sadiq branch.

Kansas.

As previously mentioned by Nora, in preparation for the Holy War, to face the greatest threat to all mankind, Kael directly issued instructions to the highest responsible persons in various places, ordering them to negotiate with the leaders of the top forces.

As a devout follower of the Asumos Church and a loyal subordinate of Kael, Kansas, upon receiving instructions and related information from the pop, rushed to Sadiq Empire’s royal palace, applying for a meeting with the reigning emperor of Sadiq Empire – Leo Alberto, under the pretext of a "Red Alert Incident".

As he wished, he successfully met the emperor of Sadiq Empire in the royal palace.

Then,

Kansas shared with the emperor of Sadiq Empire all the information about ’Bloody Butterfly’ and ’Demon Temple’ that the Pope had shared with them. Seeing the opportunity was ripe, Kansas proposed an invitation to the Holy War, hoping that Sadiq Empire would send strong participants.

After that,

Kansas eagerly awaited the other party’s enthusiastic response.

After all,

In the eyes of Asumos Church, eliminating the Demon Temple is the most important thing on the entire continent, concerning the future of mankind.

It’s a matter of life and death for the race.

The other party, as the highest leader of the empire, The emperor, would surely gladly accept his proposal, agree to send strong fighters and special troops to participate in the Holy War, and take the opportunity to reconcile with Red Leaf Empire, just like the previous Holy Wars.

However,

Soon, Kansas embarrassingly found...

This reigning emperor of Sadiq Empire, after hearing this news, seemed very indifferent and unconcerned? Still casually conversing with the baroness beside him?! Seemingly not taking his matter to heart at all?!

When Asumos Church Go to the Supreme of the Holy Tower and the Great Elder of Holy Lomari were greatly shocked upon hearing this news, and very cooperative...

But,

’Why he is so...’

"Strange..."

Watching the carefree black-haired young man in front of him, Kansas couldn’t help but twitch his eyebrows slightly.

’Perhaps…’

’Because he is still too young, he does not understand the seriousness of the situation?’

’Or maybe? he is wary of the Black Rose family?’

’Right…’

’It must be so, after all, the Black Rose family is one of the largest forces in the Sadiq Empire. For him, as the emperor, it is not easy to move against the Black Rose Duchy.’

In that case, just follow the Pope’s instructions and add a bit more leverage.

Thinking this, Kansas’s mouth curled up slightly, and he continued to add:

"Your Majesty Leo, if you agree to participate in this operation, it will be a great contribution to the salvation of all mankind. The Goddess will surely bless you in the future. And, you don’t have to worry about the Black Rose family."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Hearing this, Leo frowned, paused his activity, and looked seriously into Kansas’s eyes.

This action confirmed Kansas’s internal speculation.

This reigning emperor hesitates because he is wary of the power of the Black Rose family!

"Your Majesty, as you know, according to the continental laws set hundreds of years ago, using or spreading the Shadow power, as well as colluding with abyssal demons, is heresy and should be exterminated. When the time comes, our Asumos Church will be the first to help you, eliminating the Black Rose family, this major concern. In this way, not only will you remove a harm for the people, but you can also conveniently get rid of a troublesome powerful minister and re-incorporate the vast lands of the southern empire into the royal domain, wouldn’t it be wonderful?"

"Oh? What if the Black Rose family is truly unaware of Bloody Butterfly’s actions?"

"Don’t worry, as long as you send those few Elites, as well as the special forces equipped with ’Soul Pulse’ weapons. In the eyes of the world, the Black Rose family will be a family of sinners tainted with Shadow Power."

"Oh, I see, hahaha… I understand now, truly a ’good’ idea."

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Well..."

Leo smiled slightly, glancing at the Baroness Ferona beside him:

"This matter is significant, I need to discuss it thoroughly with the Baroness. Please return to the church branch first, I... within these days, should give you a satisfactory answer."

"Great, great!"

Getting this response, Kansas was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly.

After all, if most of his colleagues have convinced their targets, and only he fails, wouldn’t it be embarrassing in front of the Pope?

"I’ll leave now and wait for Your Majesty’s message."

Saying this,

Kansas slowly stood up, after bowing and saying goodbye to Leo, he left the VIP room under the friendly gaze of Leo and others...

...

However,

Just as Kansas had just left the VIP room and the door had just closed, Leo, who had a friendly smile a second ago, suddenly turned gloomy, changing his expression as fast as flipping a book.

Then,

Leo sinisterly turned his head to glance at the two knights behind him,

"Once that fool leaves the palace, tie him up and send him to Sebelius! Damn it, if he wants to dig his own grave, don’t drag me into it…"
