Inside the main hall of the Night Palace.
King Elune was staring at the letter in her hand with a livid face... a letter of surrender personally delivered by her good subordinate, Lokomuska. It was full of Lorraine's own words of persuasion, which were blatant and full of sarcasm.
[You never expected this, did you, King Elunor? I, Lorraine, would one day reappear alive before you.]
You probably want to tear me to pieces right now.
But it's okay...
Even though you subjected me to countless cruel tortures, trampled on my dignity, and scorned my existence, I, Lorraine, am different from you. My magnanimous heart allows me to give you, such a person, one last chance to choose.
The city battle you fought back then was your closest, and only, chance to succeed.
But you failed.
Now, as our troops regroup, your defeat is inevitable. While you are still alive, before you are completely defeated, before your pathetic pride is utterly crushed, lay down your weapons, surrender, and there is still room for maneuver.
"Don't you want to conquer the world? If you're willing, join my ranks and fight for me. All the empires we conquer will be both mine and yours."
I think you should understand what I mean...
Be my woman, Elunor, and when I sit on the highest throne, you will become queen, and your glory will be complete.
Ideally, I'd like to have a few more sons and daughters for Lorraine, so that someone can inherit my business in the future.
That's all I wanted to say.
I hope you will seriously consider this and not miss this last opportunity. This is your only chance to change your destiny and turn your life around.
I love you, my little beauty~
Finally, if you dare refuse... on the day the city falls, I will take away your transformation device, imprison you in a dark cell, and turn you into my slave for venting my frustrations. What awaits you is only endless torment and pain. Even your children will be told what a foolish and laughable piece of trash their mother was, and in the end, they will have to send you, old and faded, to your death with their own hands.
[I hope you understand this.]

"Lorraine!!!"
After reading the letter, Queen Elune was so furious that her head felt like it could fly three meters high. She forcefully tore the letter in her hand into countless pieces.
The anger burning in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.
final……
Her terrifyingly cold gaze remained fixed on Rokomuska before her. Suppressing her rage, she said in a low voice, "Rokomuska, you're quite something. I repeatedly ordered all of you to remain under surveillance and not act without permission, but what about you!"
"Your Majesty, I..."
Realizing something was wrong, Rocco became frightened under that terrifying gaze.
She was hesitant and unsure how to explain herself.
But it is precisely this posture of hers.
This made King Elune hate and loathe him even more.
"It's one thing to act without permission, but to fall into someone else's trap so easily, without even a scratch on your body. Did you not even have the will to resist at the time? You became someone else's prisoner so easily, that prisoner of Lorraine!"
"Your Majesty, there are so many of them, I... I am simply not enough..."
"Shut up!!!"
"babble!"
"Is this your excuse for your cowardice and incompetence?! How dare you come back? How dare you bring me back a letter like this on behalf of that Lorraine? What does this mean? Are you humiliating us? Are you humiliating our entire royal court?! In your eyes... is there no loyalty left?! Is there no me, your king?! Rokomuska! Answer my question!!!"
The roaring voice was filled with anger and rebuke.
Luo Ke was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound.
She wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why they let me go like that. I don't know what was written in that letter. I just thought... it was just helping to deliver a letter, nothing serious..."
"You think? Hmph, Rokomuska, I bet you secretly promised that bastard Lorraine something or made some kind of agreement before they let you come back, didn't you?"
"What? I didn't!"
"You betrayed the organization long ago; you came back specifically to act as a spy for them, didn't you!"
"I didn't, I really didn't, Your Majesty... please believe me!"
"You want me to believe you? You became someone's prisoner without even a shred of resistance, and were comfortably and safely released from the enemy's hands. How can I believe you? Do you think you're on vacation? Where was your resistance? Where was your loyalty? Why didn't you dare to fight those bastards? Just because they had six or seven more people than you, you chickened out?"
"Your Majesty..."
"How dare you keep telling me to believe you? You even sided with that bastard Lorraine to humiliate me! It's unforgivable!"
"I don't!"
"Further words are useless. Violating the rules deserves punishment! To lay down one's weapons and become a prisoner in the face of a powerful enemy is such a shameful act of cowardice, and deserves even greater punishment!"
