The main venue for the banquet was in the harem garden. This garden has beautiful scenery and covers an extremely large area. What's even more rare is that there are many self-contained buildings nearby. The rooms inside can allow tired guests to rest and have fun. There are more than ten groups
Bands played in various corners of the garden, mostly music familiar to the Welsh nobles. The square as the center of the banquet was brightly lit, and a band wearing Sbia military uniforms played here, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this band
The people here are not from military background.
In addition to women, half of the guests attending the banquet were representatives of the local nobles of Wales, as well as priests and socialites from major demon temples.
On the Sibia side, in addition to the senior generals, there are also some Sibia nobles who followed Cohen Keda's expedition. The senior internal affairs officials brought by the Sibia army also came to the scene in formal attire. The two groups of people are not special.
Strangers, after a period of embarrassment, gradually started talking, and the scene at least seemed more lively.
Unlike the nobles, the Demon Temple Priests of Wells and the senior generals of Sbia were both people who had to strictly stick to their positions. These two groups of people stood on both sides of the garden, one on the left and one on the right, without squinting and looking solemn. Although
They have the same look, but their mentality is very different, especially the priests of the Demon Palace. They are the most embarrassing people in the meeting today. Normally, the priests scream about how loyal they are, but now, in the army of the kingdom of God,
Under the iron hooves, they could not make a sound...
Because the demons have not expressed any opinions on Sibia's occupation until now. Since Sibia's army occupied Wells, they have not received any instructions from the demons. How to react is in line with the great mission.
What is the Mozu’s intention? Calling on the people to overthrow the tyranny of Sibia? It is undoubtedly courting death; rushing to hug Emperor Sibia’s lap? This is even more courting; committing suicide to show one’s loyalty to the Mozu? This can be discussed later...
Only by living can we serve the demons better...
Fortunately, Korn Keda's army did not kill the priests of the Demon Temple like other divine armies, nor did it stop their daily activities. Today, under the "sincere invitation" of the Sibia people, the priests came,
But they could only sit and say nothing, pretending to be very meaningful and stylish, not happy, not angry, not sad, not sad.
If it weren't for the attitude of the demons, there would be no basis for holding this banquet. At this time, everyone understood that Emperor Sbia wanted to win people's hearts, but what method Cohen Keda used to win people's hearts was the key point.
, and this is what everyone is confused about—fundamentally speaking, Cohen Keda is a god-human, and he should understand that he will not be able to stay in the demonic land for long.
Is it true that, as everyone has speculated, Cohen Keda will take out the land of Wells as a favor?
This is not of any benefit to Sibia. It is better to collect a sum of money and then retreat... Under deep doubts, no matter how happy the garden in front of them is, the people attending the meeting cannot be happy.
"His Majesty the Emperor." The clerk in formal attire stood behind Cohen and said softly: "Preparations are complete, His Majesty should appear."
"Really?" His Majesty Cohen turned his head slightly and glanced at a long dining table covered with a curtain next to him. "Then come out! Solve this matter as soon as possible so that you can go home."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room. Eight servants lifted the dining table and followed closely behind the emperor. The emperor was in a good mood tonight, probably because he was wearing a black evening gown with silver trim. The emperor did not like the silvery white of the Sibia royal family.
Regarding traditional clothing, His Majesty once said to his imperial concubine: "Aren't you afraid of being regarded as a nail by others when you are wearing a silver-white dress?"
"Then what's wearing a black dress?" a certain imperial concubine replied, "a black nail?"
"Black nails with silver edges!" His Majesty hummed in reply, "At least they have the vitality of youth!"
His Majesty, who was full of youthful vitality, had just walked into the garden, but suddenly stopped. His originally peaceful eyes looking at the pavilion on the roadside suddenly turned cold. Although the guards around him didn't know what was going on, they finished immediately.
Defense - In the pavilion, two dignified aristocratic ladies were sitting. They were smiling and talking while looking at His Majesty Cohen with ambiguous eyes.
The secretary walked up and said softly to the two ladies: "Misses, you have exceeded the scope of the invitation. Please retreat to the garden, otherwise, the ladies will be wronged."
"The scope of the invitation is beyond the scope." One of the ladies raised the bouquet in her hand, letting the clerk see a small jade ornament tied to the bouquet, "But something like this allows me to get closer to Sibia.
emperor."
The secretary looked questioningly at His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor glared hatefully at the noble lady who took out the jade ornaments, turned around and approached a nearby small building.
After getting the answer, the secretary turned around again and said: "Ladies, since you are meeting His Majesty the Emperor, I have to remind you again, please do not carry prohibited items or make any inappropriate actions..."
"I am a contraband. My Mr. Secretary, it is my greatest misfortune to be born so beautiful." The Demon General smiled faintly, and the air flow brought by the folding fan in his hand was slowly bringing the faint fragrance to the surroundings.
The graceful reply was, "As for inappropriate behavior, shouldn't that be what I'm worried about?"
The secretary was originally a handsome nobleman with red lips and white teeth, but he was teased by the emperor every day. He was completely immune to such language. He just nodded politely and said, "Please, miss, your majesty has already entered the room. Don't let your majesty wait for you."
.”
His Majesty Cohen walked into the room angrily, crossed his feet, sat on the window sill, leaned against the curtains and closed his eyes to meditate.
The door lock clicked softly, and someone walked in. A faint fragrance filled the air. The banquet shoes made clear and rhythmic footsteps on the floor, and finally stopped on the velvet sofa.
forward.
"I'm warning you, I'll make a long story short!" Cohen turned around abruptly, stretched out his hand, and as he finished speaking, he realized that there was nothing on the velvet sofa, and the anger of the majestic Emperor Sbia had lost its object.
"Why did your majesty get so angry when he saw me? Is there any conspiracy that your majesty doesn't want me to know tonight?" Silently, the devil appeared in the drooping curtains beside Cohen's head, and she used her white and slender fingers to
The translucent curtain was lifted a little, and a beautiful face was vaguely revealed. He said resentfully: "It really chills me. This is the first time I show my true face."
"I don't want you to know anything about the identity gap." Cohen lay down on his back and looked at the Demon General's face from bottom to top. As he spoke, he reached out of the window and picked an unknown flower from the flowers outside the window.
Flowers, "Given to you, in return for letting me see the charming face of the First Demon General."
"When did Your Majesty learn to talk sweetly? Although I also look forward to His Majesty's gentle attitude, when His Majesty actually says such words, I am not used to it, but..." The Demon General smiled and took the flower.
After hesitating for a moment, he elegantly put the flowers in his ears and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Master Demon General came here tonight, wouldn't he just pretend to be a lover to chat with me?" Cohen put his hand on the pillow and said in a casual tone: "What kind of evil plan is there to use on me?"
"How dare I plot against His Majesty!" The Demon General covered his mouth and smiled, "I am really scared when I come here today!"
"Nonsense." Cohen snorted coldly, "What else do you have to be afraid of?"
"I'm afraid..." The Demon General opened the curtains, walked out, and sat down on the velvet sofa gracefully. "I'm afraid that His Majesty will go on a killing spree and make the situation out of control. Although the nobles outside are not that good, they are all
If you kill him, it will be a turmoil."
"Who told you that I was going to go on a killing spree?" Cohen tilted his head and looked at the Demon General on the sofa, "You don't even have to think about it, am I that kind of person? It would be so troublesome to let people go and then arrest them to kill them.
ah!"
"Don't think about it, that's just the kind of person you are." Fogg, who was next to the Demon General, replied coldly.
"Adults are talking, and children should not interrupt." Cohen shook a finger at Fogg, but his eyes were on the Demon General's face, "There must be evidence for everything you suspect, otherwise good people will be wronged. If the Demon General is just wrongfully accused,
That's all for a commoner, but if the person wronged is an emperor, especially one as handsome as me, the consequences will be serious."
"When did His Majesty the Emperor become so worldly? Okay! Even if I accidentally wronged His Majesty, does it mean that His Majesty became a good person because of this?" The smile on the Demon General's face became even thicker, "I want to hear why I
Do you say so? My Majesty."
"Even if I plug your mouth with something, you will tell it. Isn't that why you came to see me tonight?" Cohen twisted his body to make himself lie more comfortably, "Say it.
!Listen, I will get a prize if you agree, but if you don’t say it well... hum."
"It's very simple, because I can't guess what unique dishes your Majesty will use to entertain these guests, or what he will use to win over the hearts of the nobles outside. Even if your Majesty is a unique person, at tonight's banquet
He tried his best to turn the tide and successfully bribed the nobles, but for all the Welsh people, does Your Majesty also have time to - bribe them?" The smile on the Demon General's face faded, "Yes, the Welsh people are indeed loyal to their original royal family.
They are disheartened, but that doesn’t mean they will support you, Your Majesty.”
"As an emperor, isn't it the most basic job to win over people's hearts? I am working very hard to do it, but you come to throw cold water on me." Cohen replied with a smile, "If you are not satisfied with me living happily here, your master will naturally
They will drive me back."
"In fact, if your Majesty can win over the people, go ahead and do it. The Welsh royal family has lost its morals and everyone can fight for the throne. Your Majesty, you can fight for it too!" The Demon General put his arm on the armrest of the sofa with a soft palm.
He held his chin softly, "But Your Majesty has always been strong. Who can guarantee that the banquet will not cause a bloody storm? So I have a mission to come and tell Your Majesty that although the great demon clan has always been tolerant to Your Majesty, but
We have a bottom line."
"Everyone can fight for it? Fight from my hands? Those who are not afraid of death will come!" Cohen began to snort again, "There is no royal family in Wells. From now on, this place will be a province of the Sbia Empire.
!”
"If your Majesty has this ability, just go ahead and do it. Your Majesty with such heroic spirit is the person who fascinates me." The Demon General's eyes couldn't help but flash, "But... Your Majesty is determined to believe in the Welsh people of the Demon Clan.
, will you loyally submit to the Sbia Empire that believes in the gods? Your Majesty was once a divine knight. Although he was not very competent at his job, it was common for him to lead an army into the demonic realm!"
"What happened to leading the army to fight here? Will more people fall in the war than die under the sword of the lord? The Welsh people should be grateful to me, because I will give them a chance to choose life again." Cohen revealed a
Smiling, "It won't be long before the people of Wales will find that I am an interesting emperor, an emperor worthy of loyalty."
"Listen to your Majesty, it seems that your Majesty does not plan to give any benefits to the nobles at tonight's banquet?" The Demon General's expression became serious, "Emperor Sibia, you should carefully consider what I just said. You can't be so concerned about the quantity.
The huge nobles resorted to murder. If they do that, a serious disaster awaits His Majesty and the Sibia Empire."
"Why, Lord Demon General, do you really think I can kill people? You are too pessimistic." Cohen looked out the window, "Please look outside, there is singing and dancing, and the atmosphere is peaceful. How hard-hearted does a person have to be to order this place?
kill."
"Because you have only two choices. One is to distribute Wells to these nobles." The Demon General emphasized his tone, "The second way is to kill these nobles and create new ones."
"I have repeatedly stated that I will not kill them. The Demon General is still struggling with this issue. Aren't you afraid of leaving me with a long-winded impression?" Cohen sat up, "I do not intend to give Wells to these nobles, because
I shot it down with my sword and shot, and it was something in my pocket. If someone wants it, he can, but he must defeat me!"
"Besides, I don't intend to kill these nobles. Although I have thought so, they are indeed a group of troublemakers." Walking to the table, Cohen took two wine glasses and began to drink wine.
"But on the one hand, they have no grudge against me, and on the other hand, I don't want to live up to the friendship that Miss Emine would rather lose her reputation as a verbose person than to persuade me."
"Sweet words." The Demon General took the wine glass, "If I remember correctly, this is the first time His Majesty called me Miss."
"Ah! In fact, I used to shout like this often, in my heart." Cohen blinked, "I have a lot of worries in my heart!"
"I am the Demon General. It is very dangerous for Your Majesty to try to belittle me." The Demon General looked at Cohen with a half-smile, "How is Your Majesty going to eliminate the gap between the two faiths? Although this is a question that has no answer.
But I won’t let Your Majesty go to the meeting venue without His Majesty’s answer.”
"What if I don't answer?" Cohen looked at the red wine in the glass, "You want to put me under house arrest here?"
"Isn't it possible?" A blush spread across the Demon General's face. Under the light, he looked charming and charming. "It seems that it is not difficult to put Your Majesty under house arrest."
"Qiang, Qiang" sounded twice, and two daggers appeared in Fogg's hands on one side. The smooth sword blades reflected the owner's gaze, which was equally cold and icy.
"It's really sad. Do you think I will be threatened by you?" Cohen replied calmly, "When will you give up such childish methods?"
"When will you threaten Your Majesty? What I said is that it will happen immediately!" The Demon General observed Cohen's reaction with great interest, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you think I'm beautiful?"
Cohen leaned forward and looked at the demon carefully from top to bottom before saying, "Beauty, both in body and appearance, is very beautiful. Her expressions are changeable and very intoxicating."
"Then...does your Majesty know that such a beautiful woman has a very fragile heart?" The Demon General curled up his calves, stretched his right arm, and assumed a posture on the velvet sofa that perfectly displayed his seductive power.
"If Your Majesty doesn't reply, the beautiful woman will be angry. To paraphrase Your Majesty, the consequences will be serious."
"A kiss." Cohen looked at the Demon General with a smile, "Between threat and temptation, I will choose the latter."
"Rogue." The Demon General caressed his cheek, "You are challenging the fragile psychology of a beautiful woman."
"Does this blame come to my head?" Cohen laughed, "The Demon General is dressed so beautifully tonight. My request is reasonable. Will you grant it?"
The Demon General stood up slowly, walked to Cohen, took a fruit, peeled it off, held it on his delicate fingers, and waved it in front of Cohen's eyes, "Say it! Your Majesty. After I say it, I will give you the fruit."
eat."
"It's so simple, faith! Just let them feel that my actions are tacitly approved by the demons." Cohen looked at the demon general's eyes, "Since the demons have tacitly approved of Lian's actions, who else can
Those who are not afraid of death dare to jump out and cause trouble?"
"Your Majesty is so courageous." The demon general frowned, "When did the demon clan acquiesce to your majesty's actions?"
"I said it." Cohen took the fruit from Demon General's hand and threw it into his mouth, "Let them think..."
"Does your Majesty think that this demon will let your Majesty talk nonsense at the banquet?" The demon general's surprised expression cannot be concealed. It is really ridiculous. How could your majesty think of using demons to deceive the nobles? In that case, this demon general has the responsibility to immediately
Your Majesty takes it.
"I've always been good at solving problems with methods that others haven't thought of." Cohen replied with a smile, "Why is the Demon General so sure that I can lie? Even if I lie, what emperor doesn't lie? I'm not bored enough to challenge him.
The nerves of the demons.”
"I don't believe that your majesty can deceive these nobles without damaging the prestige of the demon clan. As the demon general, I will stop anything that damages the prestige of the demon clan from happening." The demon general thought for a while before replying: "And
, these nobles are not fools, they will ask your Majesty for evidence, even if your Majesty fabricates the evidence, but how will your Majesty explain it to the Gods?"
"Don't you know, Lord Demon General?" Cohen tilted his head and spit out the core of the fruit out of the window, "Pleasing both sides is my specialty."
"Your Majesty, you'd better think twice." The Demon General shook his head and said, "This is impossible."
"Doing things that others can't do is a challenge, and living in this way is meaningful." Cohen shook his head and said: "Don't worry about me, I am loved by everyone, and flowers bloom when they see me."
Seeing Cohen Keda like this, the Demon General fell silent.
"Come along!" Cohen kissed his fingers, and then put his fingers on the Demon General's face, "My guest." (To be continued)
