Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 385: Second Empress

Even though the grandmasters Charlotte and Diana had explained to him that it was due to their bloodline inheritance, and that there was an upper bound to the number of true cultivators, Sharky saw that they weren’t few in number at all. Would that end up being a great disaster for the human race?

But then he thought of something and decided to do it, if this situation was good.

When he saw the new group of people, Ellis’s expression changed as well. However, he quickly hid it and asked, "Why did the second prince come here?"

Sharky was moved. Second prince? That meant he was the Golden Crow Crown Prince’s younger brother!

The Golden Crow Second Prince said seriously, "I heard that the Snake race’s envoy arrived at the King Court, so of course I needed to see which human could defeat my brother, the crown prince. I believe that human most likely used some sinister scheme. As the younger brother, I will defeat him to get revenge for my older brother."

Ellis’s eyelids twitched. Even though the prince was openly saying that he was getting revenge for his older brother, why did this blockhead have to say it so loudly? He kept repeating that the crown prince had been defeated by a human to outsiders!

If the crown prince lost, but he won, it was indeed possible that some would take it as a display of the brothers’ camaraderie. However, those who knew about the Fiend King Court’s situation knew clearly that the second prince was stepping on the crown prince to further his own prestige!

As such, Ellis said unhappily, "That is not a matter second prince needs to trouble yourself with. This is the guy, and I already caught him."

When he heard their tone, Sharky thought that maybe he was the one who had misunderstood. These two didn’t seem to have such a good relationship.

"So, you are that guy?" The Golden Crow Second Prince asked, looking towards Sharky. "Where did you get the courage that, even after beating my big brother, the crown prince, dared to come to the Fiend King Court to throw your life away? Hahaha~"

Ellis’s face darkened hearing that, almost becoming as black as his teeth. He roared furiously, "Second Prince, you need not to care about them." Then he looked towards his guards and shouted at them. "What are you all standing around for? Arrest them!"

"Understood!" The Golden Crow Guards all seemed to have woken up from a dream. They pounced at the Snake race’s envoy.

The Snake race’s guards all drew their weapons to resist. However, there was a huge gap in strength, and they were in the Fiend King Court. If a dispute really did break out, they might not be able to make it out alive.

Sharky stood in front of the others, he was really going to become angry at Ellis, he looked towards him and shouted, "Who dares?!"

His voice echoed outward like a thunderclap. The Golden Crow Guards’ faces all turned pale, and many of their horses even rose up in fear. The place quickly became chaotic.

Jaden and the other brothers exchanged a look. Why did that seem like their king race’s extreme skill, Lion’s Roar? How was that possible? Even among the Lion race, not many people even had the right to learn that.

Ellis remarked grimly, "What? Are you all resisting arrest?"

Alina stepped forward and took out a Golden Crow Token. She said calmly, "I am the leader of the Snake race, and I have come to join the general assembly while holding a Golden Crow Token. However, I am being arrested before I have even entered the Fiend King Court. Did the Fiend Emperor gather us to hold a meeting, or is he merely using this as an excuse to capture all of the clan leaders in one go?"

They were already close to the Fiend Race King Court. Some other small clan leaders and representatives were around them. When they heard that, they all voiced their agreement, feeling that they were in danger.

When he saw that the surrounding crowd was getting worked up, Ellis’s expression changed. He was worried that something big would happen, so he quickly said, "Do not try to incite the public. It is a fact that you all injured someone, which goes against the Fiend Emperor’s orders. That is why I have to ask you all to come back with me for an investigation. As for whether or not you are guilty, the Fiend Emperor will decide that himself. Or, could it be that you are all questioning the Fiend Emperor’s wisdom?"

Inwardly, he sneered. Once you’re all arrested, I’ll keep you all in custody for a while. The Fiend Emperor has so many things to deal with; why would he care about something trivial like this?

Alina had managed a great clan for many years. She had seen all sorts of treacherous people and schemes, so how could she fall for something like that so easily? She replied, "We do not dare to question the Fiend Emperor’s wisdom, but the Fiend Emperor has appointed so many officials precisely to share his burden. If the Fiend Emperor needs to personally look into a matter, I fear that the Fiend Emperor will blame this sir for neglecting your duty."

Ellis’s expression became unpleasant. This witch really is eloquent with her speech.

Alina didn’t give him the time to argue and continued, "As for who made the first move, many people passed by here. Sir can go and ask them for confirmation."

Jaden said coldly, "Of course it was your side who attacked first. What do you all say?" He scanned the surroundings with his sharp eyes while speaking. A pressure began to spread outward.

However, the smaller clans kept quiet out of fear. Who dared to offend the powerful Lion Race in order to uphold public justice? Alina frowned. The situation really was quite problematic.

Sharky roared with laughter and said,"You’re relying on your master rank cultivation to intimidate others as if others can’t do the same." Then, he released a similarly powerful pressure outward. It was even a bit more terrifying than Jaden’s.

Forget about the Lion race princes, even Ellis’s expression changed. When did the Snake race become this powerful?

While the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a beautiful sound rang through the air, followed by a refreshing fragrance. Several strange beasts pulled a gorgeous and fragrant carriage over, accompanied by many eunuchs and maids. There were also some elite Golden Crow Guards on alert, guarding against possible dangers.

As a gentle breeze brushed past and the fragrant carriage’s veil fluttered, it seemed to tug at the onlookers’ very heartstrings. All manner of pearl curtains and bells adorned the top of the carriage. The pleasant sounds must have been made from those little trinkets.

As the curtains fluttered, the onlookers could vaguely make out a beautiful figure seated upright in the carriage.

When they saw the carriage, the Golden Crow soldiers all dismounted. Ellis led them in greeting her. "I greet the second empress!"

Second empress? Sharky’s expression was a bit strange. Just moments before, he had been wondering if there was a second empress; now, sure enough, one really had come out.

Soni spoke quietly, clearly trying to resolve their confusion. "The Fiend Emperor’s original madam first empress already passed away many years ago. Later, another woman became the empress, so the world calls her the second empress." She was Alina’s personal maid, similar to a supervising secretary. Naturally, she gathered information in advance, then offered it when needed.

Sharky suddenly realized with a start, No wonder this second prince and the first prince don’t get along. He wondered which side this second empress was on. Perhaps... Was she in a faction of her own?

A soft and pleasant voice asked, "What happened over here? Why is it so noisy?"

All of the men present trembled when those words were spoken. The voice was just too soothing, and yet its tone was extremely dignified and proper. Not only that; it would make one unable to help but think of the bedroom, wishing to take her into their embrace and treasure her for a whole night.

However, they quickly snapped out of their daze. This was the Fiend Emperor’s woman, and she definitely wasn’t someone they could have such thoughts about. As such, all of them stared directly at the ground, lowering their heads respectfully.

Inside the Snake race’s carriage, Diana raised a brow and remarked, "Another expert in charm techniques."

Charlotte nodded and said, "As expected of a fiend woman, full of witchcraft."

She reflexively looked at Sharky. She felt that Sharky already had so many exceptional beauties, and previously, with her... Thus, he likely wouldn’t end up bewitched by the second empress.

To her surprise, however, Sharky stared directly at the carriage. She was utterly furious!

When Sharky feels the angry glare of Charlotte, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Naturally, he hadn’t stared at the second empress because he really did covet her beauty. Rather, just then, his soul sensed that she seemed to have observed him closely for a moment, so he had returned the look with puzzlement.

Even though Ellis was from the first empress’ faction, she had already passed away. The second empress was the official empress, so he didn’t dare to show any negligence in his behavior. He quickly gave her a summary of what had happened without daring to be too partial.

The second empress remained quiet for a moment before saying gently, "The Medusa Queen is the ruler of a race. If she experiences unfair treatment, it will easily cause the hearts of the other clans to turn against us. This empress believes that this was merely a small misunderstanding that should not be a big deal to clear up. Lion race’s princes, what do you think?"

Jaden and the others were obviously dissatisfied, but they didn’t dare to show the empress disrespect. They could only say quietly, "The second empress’ words are absolutely wise."

Either way, they would all meet in the Fiend King Court. There would be more than enough opportunities to get revenge.

"That is good, then," the woman in the carriage said, nodding in satisfaction. Then, she looked at Alina and said, "Medusa Queen, I heard that you only recently returned to the Fiend races. This is a good chance for you to get closer to the other clan leaders."

"Thank you for your reminder, second empress." Alina naturally acted politely, as the empress had helped her.

The second empress voiced her affirmation, then gently waved her hand, gesturing for the carriage to continue forward.

Ellis had just shown hostility to the Snake race, but now that the second empress had spoken, he had no choice but to back down. Staying there would be way too embarrassing, so he decided to just escort the second empress back to the palace.

Even though Jaden and the others were eager to seize the opportunity, so many people were watching, so they couldn’t publicly go against the second empress’ orders. Instead, Jaden sneered and said to Sharky’s group, "Count yourselves lucky today. We’ll see who saves you next time."

Sharky sighed and said, "It should be you people who are grateful for the second empress, that she appeared to save you."

"Let’s see if your mouth is still that tough the next time we meet." Jaden and the others harrumphed. Then, they swaggered off on their lions.

Forget about the Lion race’s princes, even those from the other races just thought Sharky was shooting his mouth off.
