The Mermaid Queen was shocked and hurriedly turned around to look, only to see that Princess Peacock had already come out of the palace.
Princess Peacock didn't even glance at her, but coldly said, "I just sneaked into the Mermaid Queen's palace without her knowing, so there's no need to make things difficult for her."
She had already heard the commotion outside the palace and knew that Morgad had sent his men to surround the place. Now that she was seriously injured, she had no way to escape.
If the demons were to find her in the Mermaid Queen's palace, it would only implicate the Mermaid Queen as well, so she turned herself in.
The Mermaid Queen was well aware of her intentions and sighed inwardly. This little girl, though young, possessed a heroic spirit, but unfortunately, there was no way to save her this time.
The Dragon King was also startled upon seeing this, but he reacted quickly and hurriedly shouted, "You audacious assassin! You killed the Demon Envoy and still dare to flee here! Come, seize this assassin!"
Mogad narrowed his eyes and stared at Princess Peacock, saying, "You're quite the loyal one, actually trying to distance yourself from the Mermaid Queen like this."
“It has nothing to do with her. Although I am a woman, I know that one should take responsibility for one’s own actions. If I couldn’t kill you this time because I was not skilled enough, why should I implicate innocent bystanders?” Princess Peacock spoke with conviction, but her heart was ice-cold.
Alas, it seems the demon race's fate is indeed sealed. What a brilliant plan! Who would have thought that someone like the Unruly King would be hiding within the delegation?
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take down this little slut!" Seeing Morgard hesitating, the Dragon King worried that he might implicate the Mermaid Queen, so he quickly urged his men to confirm that she was secretly hiding in the Mermaid Queen's palace.
"Yes!" Immediately, shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed towards Princess Peacock.
Princess Peacock stared coldly at the Dragon King:
"The Dragon King is truly heartless. He called me 'sweetie' before, but now that things have failed, he calls me 'little bitch'."
The Dragon King's expression changed slightly, and he glanced somewhat guiltily at the Mermaid Queen and Morgard: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever call you... Sweetie?"
"Is that so? You didn't say that before," Princess Peacock sneered. "Back then, you saw my beauty and said that if I agreed to marry you, you would join forces with our demon race to fight against the demons. Why are you going back on your word now?"
The Mermaid Queen raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of coldness appearing in her eyes as she looked at the Dragon King. She knew immediately from those familiar words that the Peacock Princess was not lying.
This guy has used such methods on countless beautiful girls; he's truly shameless!
Seeing Morgad's cold gaze fixed on him, the Dragon King panicked: "Don't make baseless accusations! King of the Unholy Kingdom, don't listen to her. She's just desperate and using these words to sow discord."
Mogard smiled slightly: "Of course I don't believe it, Dragon King, please don't worry."
Hearing this, the Dragon King finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still uneasy. He had heard that the Unruly King was capricious, and he didn't know if the King really didn't believe him or if he was just saying this to appease him.
Princess Peacock spoke again: "Dragon King, you said that many tribes of the sea race do not want to resist the demons, so you asked me to kill the demon delegation and cut off their thoughts of surrender so that you can completely unite with our demon race!"
"If you hadn't borrowed our Dragon Palace guards' clothes and specially instructed them to secretly open a door for us, how could we have so easily infiltrated the heavily guarded demon envoy?"
"Shut up! I'll kill you!" The Dragon King was both shocked and furious. The other party's words were seven parts true and three parts false, which was precisely what made them so difficult to discern. If Morgard really believed it, he would be in big trouble.
Seeing this, Princess Peacock raised her head and closed her eyes. It would be best if she died like this, so as not to fall into the hands of demons and suffer any torment.
The Mermaid Queen was originally prepared to save her, but after seeing her appearance and guessing her choice, she hesitated for a moment and it was too late to make a move.
"Vigilante justice is prohibited here!" Morgad's cold voice rang out, and a golden light spread throughout the area.
The Dragon King immediately fell from the sky, realizing that he could no longer unleash his palm strike.
“Dragon King, this is the murderer who killed our chief envoy, and her identity is special. I want to take her back to the Lord for judgment. It's not appropriate to kill her like this.” Mogard looked at him with a half-smile.
The Dragon King hurriedly smiled apologetically, "What the King of Incest says is true. It was my oversight. Who told this woman to be so infuriating just now?"
At the same time, I was shocked. This illegitimate king was indeed worthy of his reputation. Even I could not resist his power of words.
It should be noted that the dragon race is also skilled in the art of words and has extremely strong magical resistance, yet they still could not break free from the rules created by the other party.
Upon seeing this, Princess Peacock immediately pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into her heart. However, Morgard flicked his finger, knocking the dagger away. The next second, she was subdued by the other guards and could no longer resist.
"I'll take the assassin with me. Thank you for your cooperation, Dragon King and Mermaid Queen." Although Morgard said thank you, there was no trace of gratitude on his face.
He turned and left with Princess Peacock.
The Dragon King smiled and saw the guests off, while the Mermaid Queen bit her lip tightly, her face as cold as ice.
She knew that Princess Peacock had only shown herself to avoid implicating her; otherwise, she could have easily committed suicide beforehand.
Now that she has been captured by a demon, her fate is likely worse than death, so she must save him.
Seemingly guessing her thoughts, the Dragon King glanced at her and said, "Queen, as you can see, one adulterous king is not someone we can contend with, not to mention that there are even more powerful demons on the other side, and countless other strong individuals."
The Mermaid Queen looked at him coldly: "This is sea territory now. If we really want to make a move, what is a mere bastard king? The Dragon King is far too cowardly."
The Dragon King's expression changed, and he hurriedly looked in the direction where Mogard had left. Seeing that the other party had already gone far away, he hurriedly said, "Oh my dear aunt, don't be willful. If we send out all our experts, we may be able to defeat Mogard, but we may not be able to stop him. If he comes with a demon army to take revenge in the future, won't that lead to the destruction and extinction of our sea race?"
The Mermaid Queen glanced at him with disappointment: "I used to think the Dragon King was a hero, but I never imagined you would be so servile. I'm going to rest now. Goodbye."
After saying this, he flicked his sleeve and turned back to the palace.
Sensing the strange looks from the guards around him, the Dragon King was both shocked and furious. He stared at the Mermaid Queen's back, a gloomy feeling flashing through his heart.
Was I too nice to this woman before, making her lose sight of her place?
Sooner or later, I will shatter your pride completely, leaving you no choice but to grovel before me!
After the Dragon King left, the Mermaid Queen changed her clothes. Of course, she couldn't stand by and watch Princess Peacock fall into such a tragic end.
She had to find a way to save the other person. Because the previous rescue had been leaked, she didn't know if there were any traitors among her subordinates. So this time, she didn't bring anyone with her. Instead of her usual gorgeous long dress, she changed into an ordinary palace maid's clothes and secretly blended into the night.
