The pale golden sunset glow illuminated No. 32 Jingui Street, but it could not warm the coldness that permeated the living room.
“This is just a game though.”
"But now that we've made that kind of bet, it's no joke."
The Empress of the Empire crossed her legs and placed them lazily on the armrest of the sofa.
Her eyes swept over the pillows on the sofa beside her: "Which one do you usually lean on?"
Xia pointed to the pillow on the sofa that he used most often and said, "This one."
Isadella nodded and placed the pillow behind her.
Then she clenched her white hands, and golden spots of light condensed slightly in the air.
"In the name of the Holy Sword and the Queen of the Foresta Empire, I will oversee the fairness of this game."
...
...
"During the game, divination, prophecy, mental power to detect the contents of the cards, and spiritual intuition are prohibited here."
As those stern words were spoken, the curtains and the skirts of the girls moved without wind.
And in Char's astral vision, a huge and oppressive mystery was already hanging high above the entire dome.
At this moment, a pale golden area spread out.
Thousands of illusory chains emerged from the void, emitting a red-gold glow, blocking the surrounding space.
This is the word spirit that Isadella embodied as the imperial law after she ascended the throne, with the blessing of the imperial power in her own territory, the imperial capital, and the combined effect of the holy sword.
Char felt that his spiritual power, which was originally as vast as the ocean, was blocked in an instant.
This blockade did not directly affect his astral body, but it blocked his mental power outward scanning.
Of course, this seal is not very severe. With Xia's current mental strength, it is not difficult to break the blockade by force.
However, once it is broken, the owner of the law will notice it, which means it is a violation.
Or to put it more bluntly, he was caught cheating.
The silver-haired queen used her beautiful red eyes to glance at Sylvia and Arora beside her: "Your Majesty, Xiao Ai, if you are worried, you can also use your own methods to supervise."
Aurora's pretty face, as white as ice, showed no expression. "No need. Since you swore in the name of the Holy Sword and the Empire, I believe in your Majesty's credibility."
Sylvia also shook her head.
Why is it so serious and solemn that even the imperial power is taken out?
According to the atmosphere, should I say "Let's start the game" or "Swear to the covenant" at this time?
Xia secretly complained in his heart, and stood up carefully, walking towards his bedroom: "Let those guys fight first, I'm going to catch up on some sleep and recuperate."
Just from this murderous scene, Char could foresee what kind of tough battle he would have to go through tonight.
After all, according to Xiao Ai's suggestion, what they are competing for in this game is not the candidates, but only the order and duration.
Well, basically there’s no need to sleep tonight.
The physical fitness of a throne-level beastmaster... two of them also have the physical protection of the holy spear and holy sword. God knows whether they can handle it.
However, just as Char took a step forward, he heard the Queen's interesting words again.
"By the way, my Black Knight Char-san."
"If you could decide the outcome of this game, which of us would you prefer to win?"
Where did this fatal question come from?
Your Majesty, why don't you just ask me directly who I should save first if the three of you fell into the water at the same time.
But if this is really the problem, then I would probably save Xi Bao first. After all, judging from the first time we met in the Echoes of History...she really can't swim.
Char's steps froze in place.
Frankly speaking, the pressure he faced at this moment was even greater than when he faced Norton and Guderian, the head of the Borgia family.
After all, he had prepared a backup plan both times, and the worst outcome would be nothing more than overturning the table. But at this moment, Char himself was the one who was in the wrong, and whatever he said was wrong, so he could only accept the torture obediently.
Char looked at his pets for help, trying to use his pets' cuteness to get away with it.
But she saw that the little ferret had come up to the blonde girl at some point, and was spinning around happily, trying to grab her big furry tail.
And Shanshan seemed to be competing with his own shadow and was playing boxing with the shadow.
Chihong had even transformed into a star spirit, becoming a fiery red ball, and was being played with in Sylvia's hands with a confused look on his face.
It is the guardian beast of the Brunstadt family. Sylvia naturally feels a sense of closeness when she sees the red one.
My goodness, I never lack you for food, clothes and extra expenses, but when I need you to give me your hearts, you instantly collapse and run away, right?
Only Yui is still sticking with me at this time.
However, when Char looked towards Yui on his shoulder, he saw red light flashing in the eyes of this tiny metal fairy.
Through his Fifth Soul Contract, Char could sense that Yui was using her full computing power at this moment, processing and calculating countless complicated data streams.
Then, a detailed data model was constructed, with green and red lines winding around.
While calculating, Yui kept uttering some words that Char couldn't understand, such as "limit up", "limit down", "leverage", "Ai stock", "Xi stock", and "Queen stock".
Well, this one has gone crazy too, there’s no hope for it.
But at this moment, Airola's clear voice slowly rang out.
"Your Majesty, you seem to care too much about winning or losing this game."
She is worthy of being my Xiao Ai.
At the critical moment, you care about your husband the most and know to help me out.
It’s not in vain that I love you every day.
However, just when Xia breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Airola's cold voice.
"After all, those are the things and prizes that His Majesty cares about."
"In the past ten years in the Utopia, I have done this with Char many times."
"For us, it's just the most ordinary and bland daily life."
Xia couldn't help but gasp.
Why didn’t I know before that your “Taunt” skill proficiency, Xiao Ai, is also “Transcendent”?
Who would have thought that a girl with no talent for speaking could say something so offensive.
Hearing Airola's calm yet confident words, the Queen's beautiful red eyes narrowed slightly.
"You're right, Xiao Ai."
"In the past ten years, I have indeed fallen behind you by a lot."
A red-gold imperial aura flickered and transformed into an illusory solemn chain that flowed and played with at Isadella's fingertips.
Her voice gradually turned colder, carrying a bit of the majesty that only belonged to the empress of the empire.
"However, this is only a temporary lead."
"The life span of a throne-level warrior is hundreds of years. The road of life is very long..."
“It’s still to be determined who will have the last laugh.”
In an instant, the air in the living room froze into ice.
