In the sky that just turned dark, the 2 moons exuded a faint purple light.

In Frostland City, there were singing and dancing carnivals everywhere.

All major taverns and restaurants had launched special discounts and even free wine. The only ones who kept calm were the guards. The garrison force had increased tenfold compared to usual. On a special day like today, nothing wrong should happen.

On the street, a man and a woman appeared. The man looked ordinary, and the woman wore a cloak and a veil, just like a woman in the Dark Shadow Empire. The appearance of the man and woman did not attract any unnecessary attention. Everyone was enjoying themselves.

It was just a simple disguise. No one could have imagined that Prince Consort ‘Aguile’ in the castle and the Bloody Empire’s Royal Majesty Empress would be in a place like this at a time like this.

Although holding hands, there always seemed to be a sense of distance, and this sense of distance could be felt by the 2 of them.

“I’m sorry, Tiffany.”

“Why do you say that?”

“It’s my first time going shopping with you in such a long time.”

“En.”

“Actually, what I’m really sorry for is…” Chen Rui shook his head, “This political marriage.”

Tiffany lowered her head and remained silent.

The 2 continued to walk forward until Tiffany suddenly stopped at the door of a tavern on the street.

“You’re a good person.”

“…” Chen Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although they had no emotional foundation before, now that the wedding was completed, Tiffany was his official wife. Yet, she actually sent a good person card.

“This…” Chen Rui scratched his head, “In my hometown, when girls say this to boys, it means that you are a good person, but we can only be ordinary friends.”

The corners of Tiffany’s mouth moved behind the veil. The somewhat tense face seemed to have resolved a lot as she nodded, “You’re a good person.”

“Okay.” Chen Rui sighed, “I admit it.”

“You said,” Tiffany looked up, “that you would do that at the Holy Light Mountain even without that person’s entrustment.”

Chen Rui knew that ‘that person’ referred to Raizen, and he nodded, “Yes, I also said that I’m not doing it for so-called justice. I just want to do what I want to.”

“I see.” Tiffany looked into his eyes with a blush on her face, “You don’t really need to apologize.”

“En?”

“Since it’s an unavoidable political marriage…” Tiffany took a deep breath and seemed to summon up her courage, “It’s not unacceptable if the other party is you…”

This sentence was straightforward enough. Chen Rui was stunned. He saw that Tiffany’s eyes were so resolute as if she had made up her mind.

From that look, Chen Rui saw a sentence in his mind.

Anything that can’t kill me will only make me stronger; whatever pain and sorrow you are suffering now will become your most solid strength in the future.

He said this sentence to Tiffany – But, in this case, using such words seems to be a little bit…

This kind of determination disappeared in less than a minute. Tiffany shook slightly. Her eyes became soft and shy while her cheeks were as red as fire. Even if she was wearing a veil, he could feel it, “That, Chen Rui, I …”

Another person? Chen Rui felt the change in Tiffany’s temperament, which was clearly from a cold personality to a tender personality. Alright, in fact, the ‘combat power’ of that personality is just so so.

“Needless to say, I understand.” Chen Rui shook her hand, “Although the order is a bit reversed, get married first, then fall in love. Anyway, let’s try to give each other a chance.”

“En…” Tiffany bowed her head shyly and came over a little, which undoubtedly brought the distance between the 2 of them closer – Not only on the surface.

It seemed that this tender personality was more courageous than another in a certain aspect.

Tiffany’s current strength was the peak stage of the Demon Overlord. In the beginning, because Holy Lady Eudora used Eliza’s talent to take part of her strength, Tiffany’s power declined, Chen Rui gave her the power of 1-star enhancement before sending her back to the Bloody Empire. Tiffany was originally Satan’s apprentice. Satan intended to train her to become a ‘key’ who would open up the mysterious place. This ‘key’ must reach a certain level of strength, so he even taught her some real skills. Now, under the effect of 1-star enhancement, she was rebuilding the foundation, and her strength quickly returned to the original level. However, most of Tiffany’s energy was focused on state affairs, and the training time was relatively little. Otherwise, with the powerful special attribute of 1-star enhancement, coupled with her original foundation, it was likely that she would break through to the Kingdom level.

The clamor on the side became louder and louder, and there seemed to be some contradiction between those people.

Since there were too many people in the tavern, a lot of tables were added outside the store. On the outermost table, 2 groups of people quarreled.

“Everyone knows that Her Majesty Catherine is the Demon Realm’s top beauty. Of course, Her Majesty Catherine is even more beautiful!” The one who spoke loudly was a handsome man, and there were 2 beauties wearing veils beside him. They should be the residents of the Dark Shadow Empire.

“I admit Her Majesty Catherine’s beauty, but our Royal Majesty Tiffany is no less!” The man arguing was obviously from the Bloody Empire, “Her Majesty Tiffany has not only beauty, but she also has ability and wisdom. In a short period of time, the situation of the Bloody Empire has been stabilized. The empire has embarked on a high-speed development path that is not inferior to the rest of the 2 empires. In the hearts of all the people of the Bloody Empire, she is the top beauty!”

“Her Majesty Catherine is even a top sage!” Someone at the side began to support Catherine.

“Her Majesty Tiffany!”

“Her Majesty Catherine!”

“…”

Only then did Chen Rui know that it was an argument about who was the most beautiful of the 2 brides today. Although it was a bit boring, for the public, this was indeed a topic that could be discussed after dinner, especially today. Although the fan clubs on both sides quarreled fiercely, they did not demean the 2 empresses in the slightest. Speaking of which, Catherine had been famous for a long time, so the fan club had the upper hand.

Tiffany’s eyes widened when she heard others comment that her appearance was comparable to Catherine’s.

While Chen Rui was watching interestingly at the side, the man from the Dark Shadow Empire came to him with a wine bottle and handed him a glass of wine. He said, “Brother, Her Majesty Catherine from the Dark Shadow Empire is the most beautiful, don’t you agree?”

This man saw that Chen Rui’s ‘woman’s’ outfit looked like someone from the Dark Shadow Empire, so he wanted to come over and get reinforcements for a decisive victory. However, none of these people could have imagined that the woman who seemed to be from the Dark Shadow Empire was actually the Bloody Empire’s ruler herself.

Chen Rui had already reacted. He took the glass of wine and drank it, then he said with a smile, “Actually, the 2 great empresses have their own beauty, so it’s too hard to judge. In my heart, Her Majesty Tiffany and Her Majesty Catherine are both unique.”

The words of the Royal Highness Prince Consort were naturally accepted by Her Majesty Tiffany, but the fan club in the tavern didn’t buy it.

“Cheh! Two-faced!”

“I know. This guy is from the Fallen Angel Empire!”

“That answer is not cool at all…”

Tiffany timidly spoke up, “Actually, I think Her Majesty Catherine is more beautiful.”

In Tiffany’s heart, at least in this personality’s heart, she really couldn’t be compared with the ‘sister’ who was full of confidence and wisdom.

“This guy’s woman is more straightforward!”

“As expected of the beauty of our Dark Shadow Empire!”

“If this guy dares to mistreat you, tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you!”

“That’s right! Haha!”

“…”

Chen Rui knew that these were all well-intentioned noises, so he didn’t take them seriously. He deliberately asked, “You guys only talk about the beauty, but does anyone think that the Royal Highness Prince Consort is actually quite handsome?”

As soon as these words came out, the noise of the fan club suddenly quieted down. Chen Rui felt a little creepy from the strange eyes around him.

Finally, someone spoke up.

“The appearance of the Royal Highness Prince Consort… um, I heard that’s not his true face.”

“Even if it’s not the real face, it’s just the same… Let’s talk about strength.”

“Yes, his strength is still worthy of the 2 Royal Majesty.”

“His ability is also not bad.”

“…”

Seeing Chen Rui rolling his eyes, Tiffany couldn’t help but smile, and she left the tavern with the Royal Highness Prince Consort who ‘could only be compared with strength’.

Tiffany changed from holding hands to Chen Rui’s arm while walking on the street. The magic fireworks rising from time to time in the sky illuminated the 2 approaching shadows again and again.

Compared with the hustle and bustle outside, Tiffany’s mind was completely at peace. She had not experienced that kind of feeling even on that throne, only in that warm residential yard.

There were many men in this world, but only this person could truly touch her heart and walk into her heart, regardless of ability or appearance.

This political marriage, in fact…

“Half an hour is almost up. We should go back.” The man’s voice made Tiffany’s heart tightened slightly. So soon?

Chen Rui saw Tiffany’s thoughts, “Don’t worry, we still have a long future…”

“En.” Tiffany nodded lightly. That kind of peace and tranquility in the future… I should be able to have it all the time, right?

At this moment, Chen Rui suddenly looked up at the sky. 2 dots of light were fading into the sky like lightning. They were not particularly conspicuous in the dazzling and gorgeous magic fireworks in the sky, but Chen Rui faintly sensed a breath of terrifying power. Even at his current state, he still had a creepy feeling. He immediately focused his eyesight to look.

In the blink of an eye, some kind of intertwining had occurred between 2 rays of light. 1 ray of light had dropped sharply.

Chen Rui was shocked and disappeared in place.

Because he had already seen the figure of the falling light – Giant dragon, and it was a black dragon!

Dragon Emperor Auglas!
