Chapter 952 (1/2)
Dense layers of pitch-black clouds drifted across the night sky while loud, ear-deafening thunder boomed from within, shaking the ship that was sailing among the clouds. It wasn’t a magic warship built with a strong, steel hull from the Munn Kingdom. Instead, it was just an old, ordinary ship with a towering mast penetrating the clouds and white sails swelling to the winds. On both sides of the hull, several enormous, pitch-black Night Wyverns expanded their wings and dragged the ship forward by the chains.
Rolling thunder and pitch-black clouds only represented one thing.
“I feel uncomfortable every time I witness this view. Compared to the thunderous clouds, I much prefer peaceful nights and the round moon.”
A woman grumbled under her breath and unfolded the handheld fan gently. Even though she was high up in the chilly air, she only wore a thin and long, luxurious black gauze dress that revealed her snowy arms and alluring chest. Her bright, silky golden hair hung down to her ankles, drifting in the gentle wind like satin. She had a curvy waist that no men could withstand embracing in their arms. Her feminine, delicate face perfectly accentuated her mature, flirtatious charm like an irresistible love poison. If she were at a banquet, she would definitely be the most eye-catching star of the night and not even her master could steal her spotlight. But it was a pity that no one appreciated her grace here.
“Because peaceful nights are more suitable for you to sleep around? Floozy.”
A deep, heavy voice full of disdain and mockery sounded, but the woman didn’t reveal any angered expression. On the contrary, she turned around with a lovable smile, folded her hands, and gazed at the massive, two-meter-tall knight clad in pitch-black, steel armor.
“Oh no… Please don’t say that, Your Majesty Balende. A woman’s body is actually a really useful weapon, okay? It can beat swords without sacrifice or bloodshed. I can reach my goal when I use this wonderful body to seduce the victim, so isn’t that the best result one can expect? Or could it be that all men love to witness bloodshed? How violent… It obviously isn’t necessary, but it’s not like I can’t understand men’s desire to conquer, that is.”
The woman puffed out her chest proudly. Then, she let out a chuckle.
“Hmph, these shameless words sure suit you. After your position is snatched, I will surely be there to witness how you get toyed with as a slave. Although I’m not interested in your filthy body, I do want to know how you feel when you get played by others instead. That will definitely delight me.”
A red glint flashed in Balende’s helmet. He scoffed and swept an indifferent glance at the woman before turning around and left the deck. The woman covered her mouth with her slender hair and chuckled.
“Oh no, Your Majesty Balende. You just hurt my feelings. I didn’t expect you to be so concerned about someone like me. I feel so flattered…
The tone in her voice sounded sincere and glad, with a subtle hint of ill intention.
If this ceremony weren’t important, he definitely wouldn’t be here.
“Oh no-no, Big Brother. It seems like the relationship between your subjects is still as terrible as usual.”
Erin watched the commotion from the window. She turned around and smiled at the man who sat silently by the desk. At this moment, the man closed his eyes as though he was meditating. Even though he heard his younger sister’s comments, his face that was as strong as granite spoke of absolute confidence and calmness.
“Don’t worry.”
“But it will be better for them to maintain friendlier relationships especially for the Order Ceremony. Our Country of Darkness may be belittled by others if they see us as a joke.”
“Let them be. Their consequences of contempt will be compensated by blood and fire. If they are truly that foolish, that will be the corresponding price to pay.”
“Really…”
Erin shook her head helplessly and turned around. Although her big brother didn’t mention it, she knew that this upcoming Order Ceremony was different from the past. There was only one reason. The appearance of a new dragon soul and even more so, the Void Dragon.
The most important reason as to why the Dragon Soul Continent could maintain a subtle balance was due to the Country of Law. Even though there were ‘five’ Creator Dragon Souls, the Judgment & Ruling Twin Dragons were in the same camp while the Void Dragon was nowhere to be found. This meant that no matter the Light Dragon or Dark Dragon, neither of them could confront the twin dragons individually. Not only that, but the twin dragons’ ability was also ‘rules’, which meant that as long as they were in any land of Order, they could maximize the strength of their damage output.
