After circling over Blackwater City for a while, the giant griffin finally landed steadily in front of the large square in the center of the city. Then a woman in a white dress and several knights in golden armor walked down from above.
Of course, for the people of Blackwater City who were on the border, they didn’t know the woman in white, nor did they know the knight in golden armor, but they knew the woman following behind.
"That's Mary, right? The woman who backstabbed the Governor."
"Huh? That bitch actually had the nerve to come back? Who brought her here? Who could give her such courage?"
"I seem to have seen him in a portrait. He looks a bit like the newly-appointed emperor..."
"Queen Katarina!? Why is she in Blackwater City?"
"Mary is following the Queen? She is the Queen's person? Could it be that the Governor-General has really done something wrong?"
"Impossible! Impossible! How could Governor Irons commit a crime?!"
The arrival of Catalina and Mary behind her caused a lot of discussion among the residents of Blackwater City. Everyone gradually gathered in the Blackwater City Square with confusion and curiosity.
Trinity and the other two quietly mixed into the crowd, looking at the Queen and others who were already standing on the podium, wanting to see what she was going to say.
Soon, a large crowd of people gathered in front of the square. Looking at the crowd below, Catalina took a deep breath and said to everyone: "People of Blackwater City, my people.
I am Queen Catalina, the emperor of your Duolun Empire. This time, I came to Blackwater City uninvited for three reasons: Kill! Kill! And kill again! "
"...Yes, this is very Katarina. I heard that this empress is a moody killer. Today I saw that it was true. The first thing she said was that she wanted to kill people."
Helena, standing in the crowd, shook the folding fan in her hand and muttered to the two witches beside her.
Trinity pinched the brim of her hat and snorted coldly, "When you kill someone, you have to consider who you're killing. I want to see what she's trying to do."
Looking at the commotion of the people below the stage, Catalina consoled them, “Of course, the knife in my hand is not waved at the people of Blackwater City, but for the people of Blackwater City.
Just a few days ago, one of my subjects was imprisoned by the local nobles on the charge of colluding with the demons. I believe that all of my people know who this incident is about."
As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly aroused the response of all the people in the square, and they all loudly expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Governor Irons! Duke Remington has wronged Governor Irons and has thrown him into the dungeon!"
"Your Majesty! Governor Irons is innocent! That Duke Remington is not a good man!"
"Your Majesty! It's Mary Belle behind you! She was the one who betrayed the Governor! She was in cahoots with that old dog Remington!"
“All of them cannot be spared!!!”
Listening to the voices of the people below the stage, Catalina raised her hands and shouted loudly: "My people! I, Catalina, understand everything you said! I also believe that my Governor Ains will never collude with the demons!
The real accomplices of the demons are the nobles who sent Governor Ains, who built Blackwater City to resist the demons, to the dungeon! They are the ones who really committed the crime of colluding with the demons!
Today, I, Margaret, swing my sword for Ains! For Blackwater City! For you! Now the Griffin Knights have controlled all the nobles involved in this incident!
My people! Go and catch them! Send those who colluded with the demons and betrayed us to the gates of Blackwater City! Judge them in the way you, the people of Blackwater City, do! "
“Quaa!!!!!!”
"Long live the Queen!!! Long live Governor Irons!!!"
"Your Majesty! We love you so much!!!"
"The Queen has redressed the injustice for Governor Ains! The Queen is invincible in the world!!!"
Following Catalina's order, the entire Blackwater City fell into complete madness. The people shouted "Long live the Queen" and rushed out of the city gates towards the various noble mansions outside the city.
Trinity and Helena, who were mixed in the crowd, looked at the Queen standing on the stage and stirring up the emotions of the people of Blackwater City, with a strong sense of pressure in their eyes.
This woman... is scary...
Chapter 36: The Three Blood Clan Sisters
“Lady Margaret, after Queen Catalina arrived in Blackwater City, she immediately rushed to the Duke’s Mansion, and then dispatched the Griffin Knights to control all the nobles in the surrounding area, and then mobilized the people of Blackwater City to arrest those nobles.
The whole process lasted the entire night, and from what the Star Eye of the Garcia priest saw, the nobles in the territories surrounding Blackwater City were basically wiped out. "
Finia stood beside Margaret and reported the situation in Blackwater City to her.
Listening to what Catalina did, Margaret stirred the boiling soup in the pot and said, "Ha, that woman didn't come to the Demon King's City to snatch people first? Haha~ It seems that she is not a concern."
"..."
Hearing this, Finia felt a little speechless. Lord Demon, what exactly is this "nothing to worry about" you mentioned...
Margaret did not notice Finia's expression. Perhaps in her eyes at this moment, Catalina was indeed not a concern. At least, she was not as important as the quality of the pot of broth in front of her.
She picked up the spoon and tasted it. Hmm, it was good. Her cooking skills had not deteriorated.
Margaret nodded in satisfaction, and asked the servants to fill the bowls with broth. Then she turned to Fenya and ordered, "Fenya, let Garcia continue to observe the situation and see what other plans Catalina has."
"Yes, Lady Margaret."
As Finia left, Margaret walked towards Irons' bedroom with a servant carrying soup.
The door of the bedroom was wide open, and Irons was sitting at the window sill, reading a book of local literature from the Demon Realm.
"Knock, knock, knock..." Margaret knocked carefully on the door to inform Irons of her arrival. Then she looked at Irons' raised face and said with a smile, "I've made some soup for you, Irons. Want some?"
"Uh..." Irons showed an embarrassed expression. He took the broth brought by the servant somewhat embarrassedly, and then tasted a few mouthfuls under Margaret's eager eyes.
Well, as expected, it’s still that familiar taste.
"How about it?"
"It tastes delicious. It tastes almost exactly the same as when you were in Blackwater City."
“As long as it tastes good~”
"But you, the demon king, can't just hang around me every day, right? You still have to manage your demon castle, right? It's not good to spend all your time on me like this, right?"
"It's just a little free time. It's nothing." Margaret comforted, and then glanced at the book next to Irons' hand and asked, "What are you reading?"
"Ah, I found a novel written in Demon Realm from the bookshelf. It has Demon Realm characteristics."
Irons picked up the novel and saw the name "Blood Charm" written on it. It was a romance novel. The protagonist was a vampire noble who was attracted to a succubus. However, the difference in race and status between the two made their relationship full of ups and downs.
How to put it? If I ask Irons to evaluate it, the writing is mediocre, the plot is melodramatic and clichéd, and there is even a plot where the heroine suffers from a terminal illness, the two men fight each other madly and hurt each other, and it turns out to be a false alarm in the end.
Logically speaking, there is no way that Irons would be interested in such a melodramatic novel, but there is one good thing about this novel, which is the description of the life of the entire vampire aristocracy.
The writing is so unusually detailed that one cannot help but suspect that the author of the novel might actually be a vampire aristocrat.
In fact, ever since the vampire lord Rosie gave him a gift, Irons has been quite curious about the vampire race and wanted to know what the situation of this race is like in the Demon Realm.
Of course, Ains is also curious about other races. After all, this is his occupational disease. He always can't help wanting to know the situation of the grassroots people in his area.
If it wasn't difficult to leave the Demon King's Castle, Ains might have already started wandering around the Demon King's Castle.
"Ah... this novel..." After seeing the book, Margaret showed a rather complicated expression.
"What? Is there something wrong with this novel?"
"It's not that it's wrong...it's just that its author is a little special."
"Oh? What's special?"
"Well...it was written by Rosie's daughter."
"Um?!"
Upon learning this, Irons couldn't help but widen his eyes. Wow! Although he guessed that the author of the novel might be a vampire noble, he didn't expect that the real identity was so important.
"Rosie's daughter...that Demon Lord Rosie actually already has a daughter?"
Although the real age of these immortals cannot be revealed, from the impression that Irons had when he came into contact with Rosie, he really couldn't tell that the Demon Lord Rosie was already a mother.
"Haha, she has more than one daughter. She has three children in total. The eldest is Elizabeth, the second is Gloria, and the third is Denzel.
Maybe you don’t know, but a big part of the reason why Rosie became the Demon Lord is that the previous Blood Demon Lord, Rosie’s husband, died too early.
Rosie's children had just been born at that time. In order to stabilize the blood clan, Rosie chose to take over her husband's position as the Demon Lord to stabilize the situation.
If nothing unexpected happened, Luo Xi should have passed on her position as the Demon Lord to her children when they came of age. However, her children did not give her peace of mind at all. "
Catalina said, smiling helplessly and shaking her head.
Irons drank a mouthful of broth, filled with the desire to eat melons. He curiously asked, "Is this a troublesome method?"
Catalina did not hide anything and shared: "First of all, the eldest sister Elizabeth wandered from the Demon Realm to the human world out of curiosity in her early years.
Perhaps he was influenced by the bards in the human world. After returning, he no longer wanted the position of Demon Lord and wanted to be a writer.
The book in your hand is one of her masterpieces. Not to mention, her books are quite popular in Demon King's City.
Elizabeth's decision to give up the Demon Lord's inheritance and pursue her dream had an impact on her younger brother and sister, so that they all followed in their sister's footsteps.
Although my sister Gloria has no interest in writing, she loves painting and designing very much. The vampire dress you saw me wearing a few days ago was made by Gloria.
As for her younger brother Denzel, he might be Rosie's only hope. He is not opposed to being a Demon Lord, but in his eyes, being a Demon Lord is just a side job. His heart has long been devoted to music, and he often leaves the Blood Clan to visit music masters from all over the Demon Realm. "
Irons was shocked when he heard this gossip about Rosie's family. Wow, all three children didn't want the family business and only wanted to pursue poetry and distant places and be literary youths. How could that be possible?
No wonder the Demon Lord Rosie always looks tired. Who wouldn’t be tired of having three children like this?
He consoled her with a trace of pity: "However, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, the vampire race is immortal. Maybe after a long time, the children may change their minds. Or we can just wait until the grandchildren come."
"Haha, who can really tell? At least Luo Qian is really tired of being a demon king."
Margaret smiled and shook her head, showing her sympathy for Rosie: "If all my subordinates were like Rosie's children, I would probably get tired of being a demon king."
Hearing this, Ains touched his chin and shook his head, saying, "That may not be certain. Given the current situation of the demon race, it is necessary to develop the cultural industry."
"Develop... cultural industries?"
Irons' casual remark caught Margaret's attention. She came forward curiously and asked, "Irons...what is the process of developing the cultural industry you mentioned?"
"Uh..." Irons was stunned, and said with an awkward smile: "Well, this is quite complicated, and it will take some time to explain it clearly, but it is not a bad thing to have some people who value the arts industry under your command. These three siblings may bring you some unexpected help in the future, Margaret."
"Hmm... I understand. I will pay attention to the three siblings..."
Margaret was not in a hurry when she saw that Irons did not directly provide a development strategy. After all, Irons did not express his intention to help the Demon Realm develop.
As long as Irons doesn't make it clear, Margaret won't urge her. After all, she wants not only Irons but also his heart. Since she wants to win his heart, she can't be impatient and must take it slow.
So Margaret changed the subject and talked about other things: "By the way, Irons, I received information about Blackwater City."
The mention of Blackwater City immediately aroused Ains's concern. He asked, "Hmm? What happened in Blackwater City?"
"Katerina has arrived in Blackwater City. What do you think about this?"
Chapter 37 She Will Let Me Die Once
"Has Katarina arrived at Blackwater City... Ah, it seems that she hasn't completely given up on me~"
Hearing this, Irons smiled with self-mockery.
"As for what I think... I don't care anymore, but I can roughly guess what the first few things she will do after arriving in Blackwater City are.
To be able to react so quickly and come to Blackwater City, she should have gone with the Griffin Knights, as only the Griffin Knights had such fast mobility.
Then, she should control all the nobles involved in the vicinity of Blackwater Ridge as quickly as possible, but she would not directly eliminate them all.
This is not in line with her style. She has always been concerned with maximizing value in doing things. Nobles can die, but they cannot die too easily or simply. Their death must be meaningful.
Therefore, after controlling the nobles, she should go to Blackwater City, mobilize the emotions of the people of Blackwater City, and mobilize all the people of Blackwater City to kill those nobles personally in the name of redressing my grievances.
After all this, the people of Blackwater City began to think that the Queen was on their side, and the image of Katarina was also associated with me in the minds of the people of Blackwater City.
From now on, she can smoothly take this border town that has always been out of her reach, and the loyalty of the people of Blackwater City to me will be transformed into the loyalty of the people of Blackwater City to her."
"..."
The speculation made by Irons was almost identical to what Margaret learned from Garcia.
As expected, he was worthy of being Catalina’s shadow prime minister. With just this little information, he was able to see Catalina’s true purpose.
only……
"Ains, what if Katarina didn't do these things when she went to Blackwater City? Maybe she was just angry about you being framed, and she didn't have so many political thoughts."
Hearing Margaret's question, Irons was stunned at first, then he touched his chin and thought for a while, then he smiled helplessly and said, "Ah... that's because you don't understand Catalina.
The fact that she came to Blackwater City so quickly actually shows that she is indeed angry for me, but her regard for me does not affect her regard for Duolun.
I think...she really loves me, at least, she did love me, so I didn't die. But she cares more about her country and her territory.
She chose to demote me to Blackwater City because of Duolun. Now she rushed to Blackwater City with the Griffin Knights in anger. Although it was for me, she would not forget Duolun. However, she could react so quickly..."
As he spoke, Irons seemed to suddenly understand something, so he came up to Margaret and said, "Margaret, how about I make a bet with you?"
