Chapter 417: Celisia (1/2)
Yanlu Rou knew that someone from the court would come here eventually. But it looked like they couldn't sit back for even a second and immediately came here the moment the devils were gone. What could it even mean? For Yanlu Rou, she already knew.
Jin Rou also knew what perhaps this person from the court wanted. He was warned by the overlord to be wary of them, so they probably were concocting something outrageous.
After a few minutes, the twin door opened once again and revealed a middle-aged woman with a comparable beauty. Though she was a bit tad old, and she had a normal complexion, she was still beautiful with her blue hair. Not just that, her blue qipao was also tight and was hugging her that it was revealing her sexy curves.
”Greeting, Lady Yanlu, and Your Majesties.” The middle-aged woman spoke with an air of arrogance and said, ”I am Celisia, a member of the Court Council. I am here to discuss something with you.”
Yanlu Rou was still the head of the family. And she greeted back with a fake smile, ”Miss Celisia, I am free to discuss anything with you. Please feel free.”
Celisia wanted to directly talk at Jin Rou. After all, she thought that Jin Rou would be easier to talk to as he had still no firm standing even as a celestial king. But she never thought that Yanlu Rou would see her through.
However, it didn't shake her that much and moved her glasses to her nose and said, ”Very well, Lady Yanlu. I am here to ask some questions regarding the recent incident.”
”Oh, I thought we would be discussing something? You never said it is an interrogation.” Yanlu Rou smirked. She knew that this was coming.
”Lady Yanlu, you can't put it like that. This is just a short interview and discussion. So you can't say that I'm interrogating you. After all, I am asking you nicely.” Celisia spoke so calm yet cold.
Yanlu Rou could clearly hear the arrogance and pride of this woman. She couldn't help but smile and almost laughed it out, ”Very well, Celisia. What is it that you want to ask?”
”Our Court Council has received news that someone from the Su family has died in battle. They want an answer why you let the precious guests participat and put them in danger.” Celisia spoke clearly. But her words were already sharp enough to blame the Rou family.
Of course, Yanlu Rou could sense this. But she answered, ”The Su family and I came to an agreement about that. I didn't force anyone of them to participate. They just wanted to help. So, what can I do? The situation was also tight since we are short on people. So how can I decline such an opportunity?”
