Adult fairy tale: Starting with social security black silk Little Red Riding Hood!

After all, the Chris Duchy wouldn't suddenly grow legs and run away. Even if the North and South Empires were to restrict the Red Empire's development afterward, he could completely annex the Chris Duchy under the guise of a personal feud.

For now, it's best to expand as quickly as possible while those guys haven't reacted.

He'll take as many as come.

It would be best if a few more lords challenged him.

He'd directly use the Evil Spirit Legion and the territory, achieving a double harvest.

Chapter 247: The Magic Mirror's Desire!

In just a few days, under Rhode's command, the Evil Spirit Legion was like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing but barren land in its wake. Local lords would even be turned into members of the Evil Spirit Legion.

The surrounding territories were easily annexed, offering no resistance whatsoever.

Rhode's power and the massive Evil Spirit Legion instantly turned other territories into nourishment for the Doragon Kingdom, allowing the Doragon Kingdom's territory to expand rapidly.

Soon, the Doragon Kingdom's territory directly bordered the Chris Duchy.

Frannie looked at the map outline on the magic mirror, her pupils trembling uncontrollably, unable to hide the fear on her face.

This suddenly appearing Doragon Kingdom annexed her enemy Earl Yarmann and quickly expanded towards her. At first, Frannie didn't take it seriously.

With the magic mirror in hand, and believing herself to be a powerful witch, she wasn't afraid of Earl Yarmann, let alone this newborn kingdom—

That is, if Rhode wasn't involved.

Frannie and Rhode had crossed paths before. He was a powerful wizard, or perhaps more than just a wizard. Her proudest ability, the magic mirror she cherished, was almost just a small toy that could slightly delay him for a moment in Rhode's hands.

Frannie had to admit it.

Knowing that the master of the Doragon Kingdom was Rhode, an unprecedented fear and dread arose in her heart.

She originally thought Rhode was just a powerful figure passing through the Yarmann Kingdom, but he not only became the king of a new kingdom but even annexed the Yarmann Kingdom and was coming towards the Chris Duchy.

For the first time, Frannie even had the thought of shrinking back into the Chris Duchy.

As long as Rhode didn't attack, she could even reluctantly and temporarily forget about that bastard Earl Yarmann and choose not to pursue him for the time being.

After all, with a strong figure like Rhode protecting him, she couldn't possibly win even if she wanted to fight. Why make things difficult for herself?

However, judging from the Doragon Kingdom's current offensive trend, it was clear that this Doragon Kingdom's ambition didn't intend to stop outside the Chris Duchy.

Rhode was coming for the Chris Duchy!

"Beautiful Queen, I can feel your fear. You're afraid, aren't you?" A pair of twisted eyes appeared on the magic mirror.

Its voice sounded faintly, full of bewitching temptation.

"Shut up!"

Frannie scolded in a low voice. She was always proud and aloof, with a strong sense of arrogance, and couldn't tolerate others exposing her weaknesses.

Not even her own magic mirror.

Upon hearing this, the magic mirror didn't shut up directly as it usually did. Instead, its eyes flickered with a strange, crazed light: "Oh, my poor Queen, why are you afraid of a mere warrior?"

A mere warrior?

A mocking smile hung on Frannie's face.

She admitted the magic mirror's power, otherwise, she wouldn't have used it all along, but had the magic mirror forgotten how this "mere warrior" had almost shattered it not long ago?

If it wasn't for the magic mirror becoming so embarrassed and不堪, Frannie wouldn't have lost her courage.

When the opponent was a monster that she and the magic mirror couldn't handle together, anyone would feel timid.

But Frannie didn't want to show it.

However, the magic mirror had long sensed Frannie's wavering, and the words it spoke were like a lament, full of temptation.

"Queen, my beautiful and pitiful Queen, do you know why you lost to that mere warrior? He's not even a pure-blooded wizard..."

Queen Frannie's hand, which was originally intending to cover the magic mirror, paused.

Although she had already given up on opposing Rhode, when she heard there was a chance to overcome Rhode, she couldn't help but be moved by it.

What an honor and dignity it would be to have such a powerful and handsome king prostrate himself at her feet.

She looked at the magic mirror and slowly stepped forward.

"You better not be fooling me."

"Of course not."

The magic mirror's voice became high-pitched: "That's just to restore some of my power. To truly unlock the seals, a sacrifice of 10,000 people is required!"

In an instant, Frannie dismissed the idea.

Just 5,000 people required her to take a great risk, let alone 10,000 people.

Although she was now the Queen, if she sacrificed 10,000 people, she would have no way to conceal such a large-scale disappearance. If she was discovered, then her position would be over.

Moreover, the magic mirror was never a good thing.

Such a large disturbance of sacrificing 10,000 people would be enough to attract the attention of the Holy See.

She couldn't possibly contend with the Holy See.

If she did as the magic mirror said, lost the support of the Chris Duchy, and was hunted down by the Holy See, just imagine what this foolish and greedy magic mirror would do.

It would definitely try to get rid of her control at the first opportunity.

At that time, she would definitely lose everything.

So, regardless of which aspect she considered, she would not agree to the magic mirror's bizarre and fanciful request.

"I advise you not to have any more ideas about the Chris Duchy's people. Change your idea. If you don't have one, then our conversation today can end here."

Saying that, Frannie couldn't help but want to cover the magic mirror in front of her. If it was just listening to some nonsense, then she might as well not waste her time here.

"Queen, my noble Queen, you are so kind, so great."

The magic mirror's tone was faint: "You certainly know another way. Sacrificing an insignificant princess, and sacrificing tens of thousands of people, which one would you choose?"

Snow White, again Snow White.

Franny frowned, her expression somewhat uneasy. She had no real grudge against her stepdaughter, Snow White; at most, their relationship was simply not good. But killing her to repair the Magic Mirror was something Franny, no matter how ruthless and cold-hearted, couldn't bring herself to do.

Despite having glimpsed the so-called future from the Magic Mirror in public.

But how could she be sure the Magic Mirror wasn't lying?

Thinking of this, Franny's gaze towards the Magic Mirror turned particularly cold.

Recently, the Magic Mirror had become increasingly restless. Before Rhode appeared, it seemed to be able to maintain a facade, but after the last damage, the Magic Mirror had become increasingly agitated.

"I won't kill Snow White."

Franny gritted her teeth, squeezing the words out as if struggling to control her emotions.

"Queen, don't be foolish. Just the fresh, red heart of Snow White is enough to temporarily解除 the seal on me. This is the only option you have."

"You've already seen the terror of the Dragon Kingdom. If you don't want to see the destruction of the Marquis of Chris, then you should sacrifice one person."

The Magic Mirror's tone was somber, and it detached itself from the wall, revolving around Franny.

Its eyes were blood-red, and wisps of black energy unknowingly spread onto Franny.

"Only one person, just one person, in exchange for the safety of the entire Marquisate. My clever Queen, you should know how to choose."

The Magic Mirror's seductive voice echoed in Franny's ears.

Pa!

Franny struck the Magic Mirror, leaving a crack. The Magic Mirror quickly healed, then floated back to the wall.

"Queen, you will regret this."

The Magic Mirror's voice was resentful: "That warrior, no, that mysterious Wizard, will end your rule over the Marquis of Chris. You will regret not handing Snow White over to me."

"Shut your mouth!"

Franny felt a splitting headache.

She pressed her forehead, trying to breathe, her mind a jumble.

She had indeed entertained the idea of killing Snow White, but truthfully, she wasn't even sure why she had thought that way. Since becoming Snow White's stepmother, she'd had plenty of time and means to kill Snow White if she wanted to. She wasn't unaware of the Magic Mirror's restlessness.

Choosing to harm Snow White because of the Magic Mirror's instigation was, in her eyes, an incomprehensible thing.

But Franny didn't have time to think about it now.

It wasn't yet a desperate situation. Perhaps that mysterious Wizard would be wary of her strength because she had fought him before. Although she had lost that battle, she had at least demonstrated her strength.

It shouldn't be so easy to swallow the Marquis of Chris.

The Dragon Kingdom was just a new kingdom. For the sake of caution, to stabilize the territory, and to allow the people to settle down, Rhode shouldn't rashly choose to attack the Marquis of Chris.

Anyway, Rhode had already obtained enough territory, and the Dragon Kingdom was enough to be called a Marquisate. If she were Rhode, she would know when to quit while she was ahead.

Just as Franny was about to cover the Magic Mirror, the sound of armor rapidly approaching reached her ears. A knight strode in, covered in sweat, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Dragon Kingdom is advancing towards us! The border of the Marquis of Chris has already been captured by the Dragon Kingdom, and they will probably take several border towns soon. What should we do?"

As he spoke, the knight trembled, looking up at Franny in a panic. Franny was the only one managing the Marquis of Chris now, and she was the only one who could save it.

She was a powerful witch. In the past, other countries had come to provoke the Marquis of Chris, but weren't they all executed by Queen Franny?

Franny felt a dull pain in her forehead. She glanced at the Magic Mirror and said in a deep voice.

"Gather all the soldiers and knights, rest in the castle for half a day, then depart for the border."

She naturally couldn't express her fear of Rhode, so she could only arrange things according to custom for now. After sending the knight away, she sat on the throne, breathing heavily, her mind a mess, unable to speak.

"Your Majesty, you should understand clearly. If you don't take action, the Marquis of Chris will probably fall soon. You don't want to see that day, do you?"

The Magic Mirror's eyes gradually faded, revealing Snow White's figure.

She bent her knees, half-kneeling on the ground, pitifully holding a bouquet of flowers. Her delicate face carried the purity and innocence of a young girl, her waist slender and delicate. The bending motion further highlighted the fullness of her breasts, and her scattered black hair occasionally swayed in the tempting cleavage.

Her plump thighs pressed together, her soft flesh overflowing. Her devilish figure didn't need much movement to be tempting, yet she had the face of an angel.

"You need a younger, more beautiful body, and I need a heart. Only then can you, I, and we all get what we want, and protect the Marquis of Chris."

The Magic Mirror's seductive voice sounded again.

"You've worked so hard to get to where you are today, and you've finally secured your position as Queen of the Marquis of Chris, gaining the love of the people. Do you want to lose everything like this?"

It floated down from the wall, hovering beside Franny. Wisps of black energy spread out from the Magic Mirror, surrounding Franny, but Franny seemed oblivious, her eyes fixed on Snow White in the Magic Mirror.

"Beautiful Queen, your beauty is enough to drive the entire Marquis of Chris mad. Even if you don't care about losing everything, losing your nobility, you should think about what will happen to you if you lose everything."

The black energy slowly spread into the Queen's eyes.

Her eyes flashed with black light as she looked at the still innocent and beautiful Snow White in the Magic Mirror, finally making her decision.

As a stepmother, she really didn't want to hurt Snow White, but now there was no choice. For the sake of the Marquisate, Snow White had to die.

Even Snow White herself should be able to understand all this, right?

"Mattias."

Sitting on the throne, she summoned the Captain of the Royal Knights with a somber expression.

"Kill Snow White, and immediately bring me back her heart and a liter of blood."

Hearing this, the Captain of the Knights instantly looked up, staring at Queen Franny in astonishment.

He had followed the Queen for so many years, and had always thought that the Queen was just a bit cold, but she was very good to Snow White and the maids and servants, and had never been harsh to anyone.

In the beginning, the Queen would even take care of the common people.

Now, she was saying to send him to kill Snow White?
