Chapter 942 – The Diplomatic Mission from the Great Western Continent (2/2)

It was rumored that this Chief Elder possessed a divine strength that reached the heavens. Although he had not yet entered the Divine, he already had the ability to fight with an expert of the Divine Domain.

The Chief Elder's mountainous body was incredibly conspicuous as it stood in front of the palace hall, and it seemed just as silent as a mountain.

His silence did not quiet the conversations in the hall. On the contrary, the other guests seemed to indulge, the conversations getting louder and louder, the atmosphere growing increasingly tense.

These conversations were naturally related to the Great Western Continent's diplomatic mission, and also to yesterday's phenomena, and also to the rumors that had been going around over the last few days.

Was Princess Luoluo really about to be married off? Was there a need to be in such a hurry? Were His Majesty's injuries still not better? And truly, why could it not be Princess Luoluo? Although such a thing had never happened in the entirety of the Demi-human race's history, didn't His Holiness the Pope resolve her problems?

One rumor could produce many conjectures. Both the members of the Council of Elders and the demi-human generals speculated on the veracity of the rumor as well as many more questions.

Of course, whether or not Princess Luoluo was willing to be married off and who she would be married off to had very little to do with them, because the Emperor of the Demi-humans would always be from the White Emperor clan. The only ones who had the right to care, the side branches of the White Emperor clan, were actually even more quiet and subdued, not daring to express an opinion for fear of offending the White Emperor and the Empress.

But did she really have to be married off to the Second Prince from the Great Western Continent?

Madam Mu slowly strode into the palace hall, which seemed somewhat empty due to its vast size.

The demi-human elders, generals, and ministers within the hall bowed as one.

The giant demi-human Chief Elder had a very deep and vigorous voice, like the echo coming from deep within the mountains.

But he spoke very directly, in absolute accord with the temperament of demi-humans and the manner in which they discussed topics.

”Empress, are you truly prepared to marry off Her Highness to the nephew of your parent's clan?”

The Chief Elder gazed at Madam Mu, his right hand gripping the handle of an axe, making no attempts to hide his movements.

”If so, we will revolt.”

Madam Mu appeared incredibly tiny in front of him, like a dwarf, but she had an even more formidable presence.

She indifferently said to the Chief Elder, ”Then revolt well.”

These words of absolute indifference were the most tyrannical declaration.

She had already been Empress for centuries and shared a deep love with the White Emperor. It had been many years since she had been that young lady entering the land of demi-humans for the first time, and she had an incredibly lofty reputation amongst the Demi-human race. Whether it was the clan leaders of the tribes or the young hunters along the two shores of the Red River, they all regarded her as a god, not daring to pay her the slightest disrespect.

The palace hall became utterly silent at this declaration. No one dared to speak, with only the wind blowing against the hard stone walls.

Even the Chief Elder felt a powerful pressure. He thought quietly for a moment, then said, ”We require an explanation.”

Madam Mu expressionlessly said, ”Rumors are only rumors. Moreover, even if she is to be married off, why must Elder oppose it?”

The Chief Elder's expression did not change as he impassively said, ”Empress should know the reason.”
