The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 139 [As Your Wish, My Lady ]
Hearing the weighty threat Aqua released, making the atmosphere even heavier there. Perhaps for Ashlan and the Empress who have lived a very long time this kind of thing has often been encountered, but for humans it will not be like that. Especially since this could have involved the entire Empire.
"You know it could be a declaration of war, don't you?" ask the Crown Prince seriously.
Aqua grinned, "Sure."
"Why do you still say it then? Do you really want the Empire and the Kingdom to fight?"
"If you have to, I don't have a problem. Since it was the Empire that started it," Aqua replied casually.
"!"
The Crown Prince was speechless. What Aqua said was true. Had the war been fought, the Empire would have started it first. But also can not say so, considering that none of them know that the fiancee Ruby is Prince Vittacelar.
"...... Can you?" ask the Crown Prince.
"?"
"You're just a Prince. Not the Crown Prince or the King. Are you able to decide on a big thing that concerns the Kingdom like war?" the Crown Prince's.
The Crown Prince tried to shake Aqua.
"To my knowledge, a Prince or a Princess does not have such high standards."
The conversation began to heat up between the Crown Prince and Prince Vittacelar. The Emperor closed his mouth for a moment to see further how his son would cope with this situation. While the Machioness and Nedura really wished the Crown Prince would save them.
But the Crown Prince's lure was useless. Aqua just smiled as usual. A smile that is hard to describe.
"It is true that I myself cannot possibly move the Vittacelar Kingdom to war just because my fiance is being treated inappropriately. But you're wrong to think the asset I have is just the Kingdom."
"What do you mean?" tense the Crown Prince.
"Have you ever heard the name 'Raven'?" ask Aqua suddenly.
"!"
The Crown Prince gasped, of course he had heard of it. Although it had not been too long since the organization was established, all the kingdoms and empires around the world had heard of its name.
A dangerous group that cannot be made enemies. Members of this group are unknown. They used the name 7 major sins for each of their members. For now only 2 have ever appeared. Pride and Lust are guild masters of information guilds that hold information from all over the world.
If 2 alone had such an important role and was extremely threatening to kingdoms and empires. What about the other members? All the nobles and important people of the world considered the other members as equally dangerous.
Before ascertaining the strength and capabilities of the group further, it is good not to make them enemies.
"I know. I do not know the common people, but all nobles must have heard that name" replied the Crown Prince.
"But what does this have to do with the present situation?"
Aqua again let out that smile.
"I know the group. I am also their VIP client. As long as I pay them a sufficient amount, they will help me avenge the Empire."
"!!!"
This time it was not only the Crown Prince, but everyone in the room was shocked. To become a Raven client is almost impossible, given how difficult it is to meet them. Even for the members who were once seen, Pride and Lust.
But now Aqua says she is a VIP Client?
"Is that true!?" shocked the Emperor finally spoke up.
"Yes." Yeah."
Aqua took out a ring with an onyx gemstone decoration from her pocket. The ring looks simple without any design.
But after Aqua poured a little mana into the ring, the Raven symbol miraculously carved on it in beautiful silver.
"!!?"
"This is the ring that all Raven VIP Clients have. This ring cannot be stolen and forged because there is a contract of ownership in it. Raven's clients can only make requests through a third person, it's impossible for them to meet Raven members in person. The owner of this ring is different. They could meet and make a request directly to Raven. If it's lucky to even meet the chairman," Aqua explained.
Everyone fell silent, looking in admiration at Aqua and her ring. Even an emperor alone had difficulty becoming an ordinary client. The boy became a VIP client.
"Are you sure this is a real ring?" the Emperor was still surprised.
Ashlan took the ring off the table and looked at it for a moment.
"It's real."
"You know that's Mrs Vashlana?"
Ashlan returned the ring to his disciple.
"If it was Aqua, if she lied I would have hit her. But he's not lying, it's real."
"Because I have the same, too" he continued.
"!!?"
Again everyone was surprised. Although not as bad as Aqua. Since Ashlan was the Magic Queen, the Owner of Mackenzie Academy and the Owner of the Magic Tower, so it was still predictable if Ashlan had one.
"Of course you have a master. I did specifically give you that through Brother Vira," Aqua's inner self as she received the ring.
The Emperor and the Crown Prince were increasingly taking this situation seriously. Different from the queen. He knew Ashlan would not allow war, so this was all a bluff.
"Hmm, even without Raven and Kingdom... Aqua was also able to reply. He was my disciple, the sole owner of the magic tower. He is also the next potential owner of the magic tower. Moving the magic tower was a sure thing he could.",
And now Ashlan is only adding to their tension.
"What's!? I never heard of that!!" aqua was shocked in her heart.
Ashlan instantly caught Aqua's intent from her eyes. This fox woman only blinked one eye.
"Oh yes I haven't said! But that's obvious!"
"Master... You just want to leave the burden of your work to me, right?" tired Aqua.
"As expected of my student, you were right!"
The Empress looked at Aqua and Ashlan who were communicating with each other with just eyes while smiling warmly.
"Although Mio still has a hard time forgetting the incident.Thank God she is more cheerful because of her hero party and students."
The Crown Prince is cornered. There was nothing else he could do to deal with this situation. Seeing him, the Emperor shook his head tiredly.
"We're really sorry for everything Miss Arsilla has experienced. But it shouldn't cause war."
"You're right, because from the beginning I had no intention of waging war but only of retaliating against what my fiancee was going through" Aqua replied rather coldly.
"..... What do you want the Empire to do to overcome this?" ask Emperor.
"You shouldn't ask me that. Because it was not me who experienced all the torture," said Aqua coldly.
Aqua gently stroked the head of Ruby who had been silent even though she was the main topic of this meeting.
"Tell me what you want. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
Ruby's gaze looked so firm and sharp, in contrast to the girl with dead eyes that existed before. Like the girl's personality had changed completely. And that was what made the Machioness and Nedura afraid and worried about what Ruby was going to say. Because the girl now had a very powerful ally behind her.
"I leave the retribution to you, Prince Aquamarine. I don't matter what it is as long as it doesn't cause a bloody event."
"All I want is the release of the contract with the Empire."
Hearing her fiance answer confidently without hesitation, made Aqua cursory look who spoke was her sister, Tiara. Unknowingly the proud smile had been perfectly painted on his face.
"As you wish, My Lady."
