After Veronica left Gwendolyn's room, she turned and walked quickly towards the hall where Krober handled official business.
Her steps were firm and a little anxious, she wanted to convey Gwendolyn's message to Krober as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Krober had just finished the work at hand and was about to walk out of the hall to get some fresh air.
He rubbed his sore neck, stretched his arms, a relaxed look on his face, and stretched lazily.
After completing all the relaxation movements, he raised his legs and walked towards the entrance of the hall.
When the two of them met at the entrance of the hall, Krober was slightly startled, then smiled and said to Veronica:
"Are you done? I just want to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air."
Veronica nodded and responded:
"Yes, good news. Gwendolen's side has been dealt with."
A hint of joy flashed in Krober's eyes, and he invited without hesitation:
"Then let's talk while we walk."
Just like that, the two of them walked out of the hall together and strolled along the corridor of the palace.
The sunlight shines through the window onto the ground, creating mottled light and shadows.
Veronica took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, and her mood gradually relaxed.
Kroeber watched her silently, waiting for her to speak.
"As you said, Gwendolyn doesn't necessarily want to chase you. She just wants to protect the rights of the mermaid clan."
"After some discussion, her minimum requirement was to give him the title of prince and to have the right to rule the mermaid clan."
"She only shares this ruling power with you. No one else, including officials, can order them around."
After telling Gwendolyn all her thoughts, Veronica waited for Kroeber's opinion.
"Just sharing the ruling power with me? That sounds good! Ultimately, you still want self-government, not to be governed by others, and you still want to enjoy the benefits of being a citizen of the country."
"Tell her it's impossible!"
"I can allow her to rule the mermaid clan, but I will never allow autonomy. The officials sent by the kingdom represent my will, and they must obey!"
For Kroeber, the so-called unification is not superficial work, but a thorough unification!
He will absolutely not tolerate any form of "autonomy" or other additional circumstances.
Once you choose to submit to him, you must accept all arrangements without reservation.
Of course, in exchange, they will also enjoy various unexpected benefits.
This is the path of unification that Kroeber pursues. It is unquestionable and there is no room for negotiation.
Either obey completely or be ruthlessly eliminated, this is his principle.
Originally, Krober planned to take Veronica to the garden behind to see the resource transportation situation in the world of Granzel.
But after hearing what Gwendolyn wanted to say, he changed direction and walked towards Gwendolyn's room.
As I walked into the room, a faint fragrance hit my nose.
The room was beautifully decorated, with gorgeous tapestries hanging on the walls and soft carpets on the floor.
Gwendolen was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding an ancient book in her hands and reading it intently.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, giving off a soft sheen.
She looked up at the sound of footsteps and her eyes met Krober's.
"Um?"
Veronica couldn't help but frown, a hint of doubt in her heart.
She clearly remembered that when she left the room, although it was not in a mess, it was definitely not tidy.
However, the scene before her was completely beyond her expectations - the room was as clean as new and everything was in order.
How could there be such a huge change in such a short time?
Veronica's eyes darted around, trying to find an answer.
Unfortunately, even though she tried her best to observe, she still didn't find anything wrong.
But her keen intuition told her that there was a strange smell in the air at this moment, a smell mixed with conspiracy and calculation.
The smell made her alert, and her intuition told her that things were not simple.
"Krober is here, come on, please sit down."
Gwendolyn stood up, a warm smile on her face, and walked quickly to Krober's side.
Although her fish tail prevented her from walking, a simple levitation spell could easily solve the problem of mobility.
She completely ignored Veronica beside her, pulled Krober to the bedside, and motioned for him to sit down.
Then, she pulled down her already loose clothes, deliberately revealing her snow-white, jade-smooth collarbone and round, sexy shoulders.
It was not until this moment that Veronica, who had been standing at the door, reacted as if waking from a dream.
Good job!
It turns out that all the things you said before were lies!
Veronica clenched her fists as she realized that she had been fooled by Gwendolyn.
At this moment, looking at Gwendolyn's charming appearance, and then looking at Krober's confused face.
Veronica suddenly felt that there seemed to be a wonderful atmosphere spreading between the two of them.
What's this about doing it for the sake of the ethnic group? That's all bullshit!
If you feel itchy, just go get some salt and go kill it!
What's your ability in plotting against someone else's husband?
Gwendolyn came forward and sat down on the other side beside Kroeber.
He reached out, pulled Krober's arm into his own, and glanced at Veronica with a slightly provocative look.
"Heh...so childish."
Veronica sneered in her heart, was she deceived?
Maybe, but so what?
She was not angry about this and did not even pay attention to Gwendolyn's provocation.
She just sat gracefully on the other side of Krober, like a noble queen, exuding an irresistible charm and majesty.
She wanted to see what kind of tricks Gwendolyn could use.
After all, if everything she had done before was leading to this moment, then she would definitely do her utmost to achieve her goal at all costs.
And she, Veronica, just needs to sit here quietly and watch this farce coldly.
She trusted Kroeber; he would never be fooled by Gwendolyn's tricks.
She had absolute confidence in Kroeber, who was a smart and rational man who would not be easily swayed by emotions.
At this moment, she just had to wait for the opportunity, see how Gwendolyn would perform, and then give her a fatal blow.
Let her know that even if you are a high-ranking dragon knight, it is simply a foolish dream to challenge Veronica's position!
If it was just ordinary seduction, then Veronica would really feel a little disappointed.
That's totally unbecoming of Gwendolen's identity!
