He secretly fantasized that the striking red-clad figure in the sky was not his own regent.
After all, the scene was far too dangerous and bizarre, exceeding her capacity for imagination.
She simply couldn't believe, nor dared to believe, that the Regent would find himself in such a perilous and terrifying situation without warning.
But at this moment, as those clear words entered my ears, one by one, all my wishful thinking vanished like bubbles in the sunlight.
With a "poof," it vanished without a trace, leaving not a single mark.
The harsh reality, like a cold, piercing tide, ruthlessly and swiftly drowned out her last illusions, forcing her to confront this heartbreaking situation.
She slowly turned her head, her gaze fixed solemnly on the area below the city wall. She saw the people there, all filled with fear and unease, their faces etched with deep terror and helplessness.
Their eyes revealed an extreme fear of the unknown, and their bodies trembled slightly uncontrollably with fear.
Like a flock of lambs lost in a dark, boundless forest, isolated, helpless, and at a loss.
This scene, like an extremely sharp dagger, pierced the emperor's heart.
This startled her, and a strong sense of responsibility ignited within her like a raging fire.
At this critical and urgent moment, the resolute look in the emperor's eyes grew even stronger.
Like a blazing flame, it illuminated the unwavering belief deep within her heart.
In her view, since the Regent had the courage to step forward and engage in dialogue with that mysterious, awe-inspiring being from an unknown place, it was a great honor.
They must have effective countermeasures and extraordinary strength.
Even if the final outcome may not be optimistic, even if the regent is unfortunately defeated.
At least they gave it their all, exerted all their strength, and devoted everything they had to protect this land and its people.
In this way, one can have a clear conscience and will not regret it.
As the emperor of this land, she bears the sacred responsibility of protecting the people and safeguarding the country. Therefore, she should share life and death, joy and sorrow with the people of the world.
No matter what hardships, dangers, or turbulent waves await them ahead, they will never back down, vowing to live and die with this land and its people.
At this moment, the emperor stood upright and tall, like an ancient pine tree that had weathered countless storms and still stood proudly on the city wall.
No matter how fierce the wind raged, it could not shake her in the slightest.
The howling wind could not dispel the unwavering light in her eyes; the dark clouds overhead could not obscure the fearless courage in her heart.
Her gaze was firm and unwavering, as if declaring her resolve to all demons, monsters, and evil spirits in the world.
No matter what difficulties she may face in the future, she will stand closely with the people, hand in hand, and bravely face them together.
I will never run away, not even to the very last moment, even if it means being shattered to pieces.
"You are no different from before." That ethereal voice drifted leisurely from the horizon.
It seems to drift out from the deep tunnel of time, carrying a sense of vicissitude and remoteness that transcends time, as if telling a story of a history that has been sealed away.
"Even after all that has happened, looking at it still leaves me with a lingering, indescribable feeling of unease."
The voice seemed calm and collected, trying its best to appear serene and composed, attempting to bury the turbulent emotions within.
However, the hint of anger that inadvertently leaked out in his words was like a blazing spark suddenly flashing in the darkness, instantly shattering the calm facade.
It was still accurately captured by many sharp-minded and exceptionally intelligent people.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo remained calm, only slightly curving her lips into a smile full of coldness and disdain.
Like frost frozen in the dead of winter, it exudes a bone-chilling cold.
She slowly raised her head, her eyes like deep, cold pools, her gaze piercing like two sharp, cold beams shooting straight ahead.
It was as if it wanted to penetrate all the secrets and conspiracies hidden behind that voice.
She spoke coldly, her voice clear and firm, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her clenched teeth, carrying an unquestionable authority.
"There's no need for this pretense. I've known you for more than a day; why should we put on such a show?"
You went so far as to harm so many innocent lives in order to force me to show myself. Now that I am here, I might as well speak plainly—what exactly do you want?
