C277 (2/2)
The most rare thing was that it was a color diamond. It did not go through any cutting process, but instead, it had been roughened, slightly polished, and its outer layer and impurities removed. The pink coloured diamond was like a bird's egg. It seemed to have life, even her eyes were attracted.
Duke Ba Tian laughed, ”This treasure was unintentionally acquired by me, I have always carried it with me. I had thought that no one would be worthy of this treasure, because its radiance was too dazzling, like a star falling from the sky. Only a peerless beauty like Princess Gesang was worthy of her. If the warrior under the princess wins, this star belongs to the beautiful princess. ”
The challenger from the Rising Sun Empire was a little dejected. With the Grand Duke's words, if he won, the prize money could only belong to the Grand Duke, not to him. He used a reluctant gaze to look at the Nine Dragons Cup. Such a peerless treasure could not belong to a minor character like him. He could only hope that after she won, the Grand Duke would give him more rewards.
She smiled and nodded. ”This is indeed a unique treasure. If the Duke's warrior is victorious, the Duke can use the Nine Dragons Cup to drink wine in the future.”
As she spoke, she went close to the Sky Tyrant Lord's ear and said a few words in a low voice. The Duke's face immediately revealed some excitement, but at the same time, there was a strange expression.
Feng Ding and the Iron Guards held back their laughter. The princess was really bad, wasn't this instigating the Duke Ba Tian to usurp power?
What Yun Zihuang said was true. The Nine Dragons Cup belonged only to the Son of Heaven. Those who obtained the Nine Dragons Cup were chosen by the heavens. They would definitely become the emperors of the mortal world.
In any case, he didn't need to spend any money to say something like this to trick the Sky Tyrant Lord. If the Grand Duke was ambitious, she would be glad to see the internal strife of the Rising Sun Empire, as well as all kinds of internal strife. If the Grand Duke was loyal, it wouldn't be a pity for him to be a piece of glass. However, she felt that the probability of Duke Ba Tian not having any ambitions was close to zero.
The Rising Sun Empire warrior who had challenged just now knelt on one knee and said respectfully, ”Grand Duke, I wish to be the first one to spar with the warriors of the northern region.”
”Definitely. If you win, you will be rewarded. If you lose, hmph!”
Finally, the Grand Duke let out a cold snort, his sharp gaze piercing towards his challenging subordinates. Anyone who dares to throw him in front of the beautiful Princess Gesang must not even dream of living!
”Yes sir!”
The warrior raised his head with a face full of pride. Looking at the short and thin Iron Guard, this chicken-like person from the northern region was obviously not his match. ”Respected Princess, which warrior among your subordinates would be the first to fight with me?”
She calmly said: ”Go up and play with any warrior under the command of the Sky Tyrant Lord. This princess really likes to be a star initiator.”
An Iron Guard stood up and knelt on one knee, ”I am willing to help Your Highness win the title of 'Morning Star'.”
All the soldiers of the Rising Sun Empire were infuriated by Princess Gesang's arrogant and confident attitude. She did not even bother to look at them.
They looked at their brave warriors and then looked at the people from the Northern Reaches. The gap was too big!
If a warrior of the Sun Ascension Empire was a tiger, then this man from the northern lands would be a wild chicken!
With such a huge gap in size, even Duke Ba Tian sighed and said gently, ”Princess, it's better if you take a warrior.”
”The Nine Dragons Cup should be matched with a peerless hero. I'll give it to the Duke as a present.”
