Chapter 449: Heart Demon

In a narrow and small secret room in the Emerald Mist Pavilion, there were two people sitting opposite each other. One of them was a mysterious person covered in a black magic robe from head to foot. The other was Mist Fairy who was wearing a pale purple gown.

“I have already completed the task according to your wish. However, I don’t get it. Do you have any benefits when Nalan Ruyue ascends the throne?” The voice of the mysterious person was somewhat harsh to the ear. He was clearly dissatisfied.

“You don’t need to know so much. I have my own plans for this matter. You can go and report back to your Pope with everything you know so far.” Mist Fairy indifferently said.

“Humph. This is the last time. From now on, our Dark Church will not owe you anything.” The mysterious person suppressed his anger and said in a cold voice. Standing up, he prepared to leave.

“Wait a minute. Lafaer, I will give your Pope a word of advice in pa.s.sing. Tell him to look after his wife properly and don’t let her do anything which will cause him to regret in the future.” Mist Fairy faintly said.

Lafaer paused and left the secret room without turning his head.

Behind him, a hint of a smile appeared on Mist Fairy’s face and before long, white light flashed around her body. She disappeared from the secret room.

………………..

Both in the army and among the common people, there was a debate going on about Nalan Ruyue. They had lots of opinions regarding the matter of Nalan Ruyue ascending the throne and being the first Empress in the history of the entire Blue Waves Continent. There were some people who supported her and there were others who opposed it.

In the Blue Waves Continent, the social status of men and women were not equal. It was caused by many conservative factions as well as patriarchal-supremacist doctrines. They expressed strong opposition to Nalan Ruyue becoming the Nalan Empire’s supreme ruler. Among them, there was no lack of high-ranking ministers, great n.o.bles and there were also some high-ranking military officers.

In the end, strength decided everything. With the help of Long Yi, Nalan Ruyue quickly controlled the military of the Nalan Empire. Although she had yet to formally ascend the throne, she had already started to exercise her imperial power. She used various means to suppress the ministers and n.o.bles who were h.e.l.l bent on opposing her. She also released an imperial notice

which declared that the empire was in the midst of extreme misery. The beast-men race was invading and the various kingdoms and princ.i.p.alities had revolted. The most important matter right now was the dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion and to drive out the beast-men race. They were going to make all the kingdoms and princ.i.p.alities which revolted pay a bitter price. This was the price they had to pay when they trampled on the Nalan Empire’s prestige. They had to show them that the Nalan Empire’s prestige was sacred and they did not tolerate traitors.

This imperial notice was posted everywhere. Many common people and high ranking military officers reacted to the notice. This was not the time to discuss whether Nalan Ruyue should be the Empress or not. This was the time to save their fellow countrymen from their horrible plight.

When the discussions were going on, Holy Priest Karen from the Light Church appeared. She conveyed the will of the Light G.o.d as she expressed that Nalan Ruyue was the person who had received the blessing of the Light G.o.d. As the representative of the Light Church, Pope Charles said that he would personally enter Blue Moon City to coronate Nalan Ruyue. He would be the witness to her becoming the first Empress in history.

The moment Holy Priest Karen spoke, the opposition became less intense. This was because the majority of people were believers of the Light G.o.d. Since the Light G.o.d had appointed Nalan Ruyue as the Empress, they didn’t have any objections.

Currently, the obstacles Nalan Ruyue faced was much smaller and she rarely had to use imperial power to get things done. After her position stabilized, she gave her command to all of the legions in the Nalan Empire. She immediately dispatched them to quell the rebellion happening in the Nalan Empire.

“Big sister, you are amazing! You are actually going to become an emperor.” Nalan Rumeng excitedly hugged Nalan Ruyue’s arm and said with a smile.

“Do you like being emperor so much? How about big sister make you an emperor?” Nalan Ruyue rolled her eyes.

“I can become the emperor? If this makes big sister happy, I’ll be the emperor. Big sister dotes on me so much, how can I oppose big sister?” Nalan Rumeng happily said. It seemed as though she had it all planned out.

“If you become the emperor, you can’t run wild. If I become unable to control you, I’ll call your brother-in-law to put you in your place.” Nalan Ruyue patted

patted Nalan Rumeng’s cheeks and giggled.

Nalan Rumeng looked at Long Yi who was sitting on the sofa as he sipped on a cup of fruit wine. Her beautiful face flushed red in an instant and she lowered her voice, “Big sister, how about you share brother-in-law with me?”

Nalan Ruyue was startled and she looked at her younger sister with a probing gaze. She realized that her 15 years old sister was already all grown up. If she was a daughter from an ordinary family, she might already have been married off.

“Big sister, is there a problem? If brother-in-law takes me in as well, I can justifiably ask brother-in-law to take me out to play! When I go window-shopping, he can help me carry my stuff. Moreover, he can fight for me if I ever get into trouble. However, the most important thing is that I can hug him to sleep every night.” When she mentioned the last part of her sentence, Nalan Rumeng looked around like a thief.

“Aren’t you hugging him to sleep every day already?” Nalan Ruyue jokingly pinched Nalan Rumeng’s cheeks. Because of this third wheel, she had not gotten intimate with Long Yi for several days.

“But Xiao Cui said that I can’t sleep with you two! However, if I become brother-in-law’s other half, there won’t be any problems.” Nalan Rumeng pouted. After going around in circles, this was her main objective.

Nalan Ruyue smiled and said, “If your brother-in-law is okay it, I have no objections.”

Nalan Rumeng bounced over to Long Yi and seized his wine cup. She blinked her doll-like big eyes and pleaded, “Brother-in-law, do you like Mengmeng?”
