"So it seems that King Buluan didn't see me with his own eyes?" The Mermaid Queen revealed a charming smile. "As for the reasons you gave, they are not worth laughing at. Who among the sea race is not skilled in water magic? As for the so-called Deep Sea Harp, there are quite a few people who know about it. Others can easily impersonate it and use it to frame me, thereby sowing discord between demons and our sea race."
"If I really wanted to save someone, why would I use such an obvious treasure to reveal my identity?"
Mogard: "..."
Even the Dragon King secretly gave a thumbs up; the woman he liked was indeed quite clever.
However, he soon had a headache; a woman who was too smart was actually harder to win over.
Mogard exclaimed, "The Mermaid Queen is indeed sharp-tongued. I've experienced that once again. Since the Queen said she didn't go to the Four Directions Palace, then where was she just now?"
The Mermaid Queen replied calmly, "Of course I'll rest in my palace."
"Are there any witnesses?"
“These guards and my maids are all witnesses. Surely you don’t mean to say that these people are my confidants and their testimonies are invalid?” The Mermaid Queen had been in contact with nobles from all races over the years and was very familiar with the rules of the game at the top.
Although the King of the Unruly Kingdom is domineering and tyrannical, this is a crucial moment for the demons and the sea tribes to form an alliance. Given her reputation among the sea tribes, he would not dare to forcibly arrest her without solid evidence.
Morgad clapped his hands: "Brilliant! The Queen was indeed well-prepared. But is the Queen so certain that her subordinates have absolute loyalty?"
The Mermaid Queen's expression changed slightly. She quickly scanned the entire area and noticed that the deputy commander of the guards seemed to be missing.
Where did he go?
Mogard laughed heartily: "With the Queen's cultivation level, even if she leaves quietly, these guards probably won't know. But she certainly won't be able to hide it from her personal maid. She only needs to arrest her and interrogate her to find out the truth. Your personal maid probably isn't as composed as you are."
The Mermaid Queen turned around abruptly, her heart sinking to the bottom. She finally knew who the traitor was and where her deputy commander had gone.
But it was all too late. Now Cherry still had that weak and foolish guard by her side. How could he possibly be a match for her deputy commander?
Once the two are caught, there's no need to even interrogate Cherry; everything will be exposed.
