And she had an inexplicable feeling that the princess was at the critical moment of life and death, and she was still speaking harshly.
Finally, exhaling a breath, Caliera warned:
"All you can put forward are conditions like 'the most powerful demon' or 'the most knowledgeable demon'. Based on these conditions, we will publicly find the most suitable fiancée for you in the demon world. In this way Only by convincing the crowd and convincing the vampires can we not temporarily arrange a fake fiancée for you out of thin air. If you don't choose, you will be the strongest demon by default."
"..."
Hyperion was speechless, her throat felt extremely dry, and her heartbeat continued to accelerate.
In the solemn and heavy throne room, the surrounding air seemed to be frozen with tension.
Hyperion sat on the throne, feeling the terrifying atmosphere in the palace.
Not only was the dangerous magic power of the big demons, but beside her, Kaliela, the only one who could clearly protect her, stood quietly, her sight seemed to penetrate all appearances and reach deep into the soul.
It also made Hyperian clearly feel that Kaliela's patience was becoming less and less.
Just when Kaliela sighed helplessly, ready to give up the idea of respecting the princess.
"Well, I like demons with artistic talent. Is this okay? After a month, you let the big demons paint. Whoever paints the best, I will marry!"
Hyperion was forced to panic and could only grit her teeth and say this.
Although saying this made her extremely shy.
But this is the only thing she can think of right now.
"...This is fine."
Kaliela nodded, feeling that the princess's request this time was not so willful.
The top painters in the demon world can also produce quite powerful magic props. Their paintings themselves have magical effects, and their status and status are quite noble. It is reasonable for them to be favored by the royal family.
"I also accept the nameless big demon."
Hyperion added.
"..."
This surprised Caliera.
It seems that the princess has really made up her mind this time.
Kaliela can understand that there are indeed unknown big demons hiding in the demon world or the human country. Although they are some very dangerous guys, at this time, their demon world is only for their merits. If they can draw out the nameless big demons and Integrating it into the power of their Demon Realm Fang is a sure-fire way to make money without losing money.
"I understand. I will try my best to convey the important matter of the princess's request and select a big demon who can draw the best for you. At that time, the princess must not go back on her word, otherwise she will not It’s my fault that I can’t protect you anymore.”
Kaliera saluted and responded.
"no problem."
Hyperion gritted her teeth and responded.
She wasn't sure whether her hasty request would win.
I just keep praying in my heart that there should be no demons in the demon world of this era who are better at painting than him. Never.
Chapter 537 Lan Qi’s firm belief
Paulant Empire, capital Helsalem.
In the long hall of the Capitol, members were whispering to each other in their seats, their faces mixed with nervousness, doubts and curiosity.
The light was dim, as if only the dust between black and white and light could be seen.
Tensions in the chamber came to a head when the new Prime Minister entered the hall.
His figure looked firm and decisive. He was wearing a formal black suit and was meticulous. He walked through the crowd and walked to the podium. Every step seemed heavy and full of meaning.
As he stood on the podium, a low murmur filled the room.
Prime Minister Wilford looked around, took a deep breath, and then began his speech.
His voice was firm and powerful, full of passion and determination. He talked about the challenges faced by the Polante Empire, his attitude and his belief in the future. It not only explained the current situation, but also inspired the people.
Reporters continued to carefully record his words, and lawmakers also had different reactions to his speech. Some seemed surprised, while others remained skeptical.
Originally a conservative, he has now shown a more radical attitude, which obviously makes everyone confused about his position.
However, it is undeniable that the new prime minister has demonstrated an extraordinary aura of staying calm in times of crisis at this critical moment.
His speech was not only a statement within the Congress, but also a declaration to the entire Polante Empire and the entire world.
"Victory, what we want is victory."
"Victory at all costs."
"No matter how scary it is, we must strive for victory. No matter how long the road ahead is, we must strive for victory."
"Because without victory, there is no survival!"
This is his first national speech since taking office.
Lanci's voice was impassioned.
But it didn't impress the conservatives at all.
Even conservative members wondered why Ranch Wilford turned his back on them after taking office.
Most of the seats in the entire Congress hall were eerily silent.
From time to time, they look at Duke Moretti, who is now the real leader of power and conservatives. Only if he takes out the handkerchief of approval from his breast pocket, others will follow suit. This is Ranchi Will. Even Ford, the new prime minister, is hard to change.
Soon, with the end of the speech after the Prime Minister took office, the crowd began to disperse.
Those who should leave left, and those who should continue the meeting went to the House of Lords conference hall on another floor of the building.
After passing through the corridors, Lan Qi said goodbye to many people and came to a small and quaint conference room with dark wooden walls.
The roof was so low that it was suffocating.
Thick curtains make this space more traditional and authoritative. A long conference table occupies the center of the room, with neatly placed documents and pens on it.
Lan Qi sat at one end of the conference table. His posture was dignified and firm, his hair neatly combed, but his eyes showed a little tiredness.
It seemed like he hadn't had much rest in the past two days and had been working against time.
So Lan Qi temporarily closed his eyes and rested his mind briefly.
Not long after waiting, Duke Moretti and his followers also came to the conference room with the sound of footsteps.
Duke Moretti's posture appeared more stable and relaxed. He was wearing a dark coat with a handsome cut. He was chatting and laughing softly with the people around him. Compared with the other conservatives who cast doubts and complicated looks on Ranchi as soon as they entered the door, Duke Moretti's posture seemed more stable and relaxed. Duke Moretti didn't seem too hostile.
at last.
"Mr. Wilford, I think we have been waiting for you for a long time, and each of our time is precious."
Duke Moretti sat at the conference table, leaned back in his chair, and reminded Lan Qi opposite him.
The atmosphere became a bit tense and other members did not dare to speak.
No one is sure whether Duke Moretti's calmness at the moment is hidden in his smile. Conservatives only know that the Duke's face was expressionless when he heard Ranchi's speech in the parliament hall before, and he never had the intention to touch the handkerchief that represented his approval.
"I'm sorry, but my attitude was quite clear in my speech this morning. This meeting itself is a waste of everyone's time."
Lan Qi opened his eyes, looked directly at the other person, and replied.
"Your Majesty Prime Minister——"
Duke Moretti chuckled, seemingly not minding the overbearing attitude shown by the new prime minister before he even took his place.
"The military strength of the Honing Empire is superior to ours in all aspects, and they also have the support of the blood clan. Once the neighboring Kingdom of Bliss falls, we will have to fight with all our strength."
Duke Moretti leaned forward slightly and said to Ranchi and everyone present.
"I think the next month is our last chance to negotiate for peace."
He reminded Lan Qi in a low voice.
It seems to have some warning meaning.
This is also the main purpose of today's meeting.
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he understands the latest situation far better than Lan Qi.
"We must not be scared out of our wits before the other side comes."
Lan Qi replied calmly.
His eyes didn't give in at all.
The conference room suddenly became eerily quiet. No one responded to Ranchi's words that once again made his attitude clear. They looked more at Duke Moretti.
"Your Majesty Prime Minister, I have reservations about this."
Duke Moretti continued.
"Who doesn't have reservations?"
Lan Qi raised an eyebrow.
"I think your idea is more likely to cause many unnecessary sacrifices. It's not that there are no other options."
Duke Moretti smiled, not paying attention to the stubbornness that Lan Qi showed just now.
"What other options are there?"
Ranchi's question had no questioning tone, as if he had doubts about Duke Moretti's answer in advance.
"I will ask the diplomatic ambassador of the southern Prunuo Empire to help us secure opportunities for negotiation with the Horning Empire. As long as the freedom and independence of the Paulante Empire can be guaranteed, we will consider all proposals to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the Horning Empire. war."
Duke Moretti replied.
"Because doing so is also beneficial to them, and they don't need to seek to die together with us."
he added.
Most people's eyes followed Duke Moretti and looked at Ranchi.
From ancient times to the present, the Horning Empire, as the southern hegemon, has never had the possibility of fighting against the Polante Empire in the northern continent. There is no feud between the two countries. Now the war is spreading all the way north. For the top brass of the Polante Empire, It is unpredictable in itself. If we can avoid fighting, we naturally hope not to fight.
"Do you know who our real enemy is?"
Lan Qi asked back without pause.
