Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2001 The ever-approaching [Doomsday Catastrophe]!
The next day, afternoon.

We arrived at the government affairs tower, where her office was located.

After sitting down and relaxing against the back of the chair, Sonia looked at the pile of documents on the table and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

A few days ago, she could come to work in the morning.

However, today, she should have lunch when she wakes up.

Forget about cultivation, she's even spending less and less time working these days!
Thinking this helplessly, and then spacing out for a while, Sonia brewed herself a pot of earth tea and began to recall the official business she hadn't finished yesterday.

Trade between the Empire and the Evernight Forest, as well as the Orc Empire, has been thawed.

Going forward, the frequency of their interactions will obviously align with the situation between their empire and the Elf Forest.

At the same time, more and more people from other countries in the Human Alliance have recently been submitting entry applications to them.

—The Kaya Empire is now clearly a hot commodity!

Under these circumstances, their Foreign Affairs Department's affairs are also increasing over time.

Moreover, many of these decisions require her oversight and final approval.

Considering that everyone is getting busier and busier, Sonia is planning to have the Foreign Affairs Department recruit more staff these days.

Fortunately, the army the Empire sent to the Dwarf Village has now returned to the Empire.

The Military Affairs Department is also considering gradually reducing the size of the army, and some of those who are suitable for diplomacy can be recruited.

Of course, they could also expand their regular legions and guard knight orders in Morning Blossom Territory.

Although they were already renowned and many wanted to join them, elite veterans who had retired from the Imperial Army were not always available.

With that in mind, Sonia decided to discuss it with Hisali later.

As for why she didn't just go to Brand... Sonia was afraid he'd coax her into the bedroom again!

After silently and slightly slandering her beloved husband in her heart.

Sonia's mood improved slightly.

However, the office door was suddenly opened shortly afterward.

When Sonia subconsciously looked up at him, she couldn't help but slow her breathing guiltily.

The kind of thing that happens when someone just walks in without knocking.

Aside from emergencies requiring immediate notification to the Director of the Foreign Affairs Department, there's only one other option...

"Sister Sonia, you're here to work so early? Aren't you going to take a nap first?"

Watching Brand walk into the office, and then hearing this 'invitation' to take a nap.

With the 'slander coming true', Sonia's guilty conscience vanished instantly.

Instead, as Brand drew closer, she felt a little flustered and her legs went weak.

However, what she was thinking about right now was not how to refuse, but how to get her subordinates to take over the tasks at hand.

After all, if she really goes to take a nap, she might have to sleep until tomorrow!

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

After entering the office, I familiarly sat down in the chair in front of my desk.

He noticed that his sister Sonia was staring at him.

Brand asked this question while checking his attire.

Upon hearing this, Sonia blushed slightly, then smiled calmly and shook her head, saying:
"No problem! My Brand is as radiant as ever today, I was stunned just now!"

Suddenly, I heard Sonia's praise.

Brand was taken aback at first, then smiled and said:
“Sonia looks beautiful today, especially when you smile.”

Upon hearing this, Sonia's smile instantly became even brighter.

Then, while pouring Brand a cup of hot tea, she asked:

"Why are you here? I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have much free time to spend with you."

Brand shook his head and said:

"It's important. I heard Rowling say yesterday:"
[Crimson Ring] A high-ranking official is coming to visit?

Upon hearing this, Sonia nodded in understanding and said:
"That's right, the relevant diplomatic visit letter has been submitted to our Foreign Affairs Department."

The other party previously visited within the territory of the Caesar Empire and is now approaching our side. It is expected that she will arrive at our imperial border with a diplomatic delegation in about two weeks.

As they were talking, Sonia pulled out a document from a large stack of files next to her and placed it in front of Brand.

As Brand curiously looked down to examine it.

Sonia poured herself a cup of Earth Tea, and while savoring it, she further explained:

"Recently, demonic heating products have been selling quite well in our North, especially in some of the new territories that are still in the early stages of development."

Many of the Empire's new nobles are openly recruiting demons to work for them.

In this context, this high-ranking official's visit to us was not merely a request from our Morning Blossom Territory.

She is also prepared to represent the Crimson Ring to discuss further diplomatic relations with our Kaya Empire.

Because of the existence of the [Supreme Teleportation Array].

The Crimson Ring seems to be preparing to establish intercontinental exchanges with us.

This kind of exchange is not just like the trade of goods between us and the continent of Osia.

The Crimson Ring seems to want us to accept some of the demon race's people.

It's not just about being prepared for a rainy day like in the past.

According to Grandpa Edmund, the "apocalyptic catastrophe" on the continent of Vantim seems to be drawing ever closer.

Hearing things like "the end of the world is getting closer and closer" makes me feel like I'm facing a doomsday scenario.

Brand couldn't help but look up, somewhat curious, and asked:

"Getting closer? How exactly?"

Sonia shook her head and said:

"I don't know about that. If you're interested, you can ask Grandpa Edmund."

Of course, when the higher-ups from the Crimson Ring come to visit later, you can ask her directly; that should allow you to obtain more detailed information.

"Perfect timing, we've met her once before, haven't we?"

Upon hearing this, he lowered his head slightly and saw the familiar name on the document.

Brand nodded in agreement.

— Serena de Andre!

Many years ago, they were invited to participate in and witness the founding ceremony of the Griffith Empire.

This lady is one of the leaders of the "Crimson Circle" delegation.

Of course, compared to her identity as a high-ranking representative of the Crimson Ring, this woman's identity as a half-succubus is more widely known within the Human Alliance.

—Like Rowling, she is a hybrid of human and demon, and her appearance is significantly more human-like.

From what I saw at that banquet, apart from a pair of small, delicate black sheep horns, the lady's appearance was no different from that of a human.

If I had to pinpoint anything special about her, it would be that this woman was unbelievably beautiful.

Of all the ladies Brand had ever seen, only Catherine, whose bloodline was fully awakened, and the great elf Hedyll could compare to him.

The other ladies in the family are slightly inferior!
Thinking this, Brand suddenly felt a little helpless.

—Heidi Lin is always there, but he hasn't seen Catherine for several days, and there's also Celine.

After chatting with Sonia for a while, Brand didn't bother her any further.

After touring the castle and visiting the members of the library research department in the capital who were diligently studying and researching, I decided to go there.

Brand returned to his research room in the main castle building and continued drawing rune arrays, picking up where he left off yesterday.

Meanwhile, in the simulated world, Virianna finished sorting through the loot from White City and then sent him a series of magical knowledge.

Of course, these are all minor matters.

The battle at White City was ultimately just a minor skirmish for the North Holland family.

What they truly value are the top powers of the Eternal Night Kingdom.

Whether it's the wars surrounding the [Demon Spirit Society] and [Black Demon City], or the conflicts and disputes between other top forces, they are all still in their early stages.

The time is clearly not yet ripe for them to fully enter the Eternal Night Kingdom and reap the rewards.
