Chapter 298
However, what the imperial high command was most worried about was whether the little princess would harbor resentment towards humans and instigate the mermaid king to kill them.
Ah, this...
They were unkind before, failing to lend a helping hand when she was suffering. Now they have no right to ask her to let go of her hatred and treat her fellow tribesmen kindly!
Whether the royal family regrets it or not, they don't know; they certainly do now.
Bai Ruiwen remained silent for a long time. It turned out that they all knew, but he was the only one who was truly naive.
But personal resentment was no match for the safety of the entire empire, so Beryl suppressed his dissatisfaction and reassured them: Princess Diana was kind-hearted, had a clear sense of right and wrong, and would not hold grudges against the innocent.
She's not one of those people with heart conditions!
The imperial high command replied sheepishly: That's good, that's good!
So, was Princess Diana's trip a homecoming visit?
Okay, they'll definitely arrange a top-tier reception banquet.
Bai Ruiwen's indifferent expression shattered their illusions: No, she's back to settle scores!
The imperial high command: ? ? ? ?
Didn't you just say she was kind-hearted?
What's with the "come back to settle accounts" thing?
Bai Ruiwen was even more speechless. Just because the little princess was kind didn't mean she was a pushover who would let others bully her without fighting back!
Don't King Abel and his ilk have any idea what bad things they've done?
The empire's high-ranking officials instantly calmed down. Oh, so they're looking for trouble with the royal family?
Okay, they understand. This is an internal royal conflict. As long as innocent people aren't involved, let the members of the royal family resolve it themselves. They won't get involved!
The royal family and their nobles: Damn it, they knew these bastards had long disliked them and wanted to overthrow them and take complete control of the empire!
The imperial high command sneered: "Heh, you should deal with the mess you created yourself. There's no reason for the entire empire to clean up your mess!"
Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, Beryl secretly contacted his mentor, the current leader of the revolutionaries and the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army.
Bai Ruiwen asked the teacher to help investigate Daphne, to find out how many bad things she had done over the years, and to find evidence of how she had bullied Wen Xin.
Commander Song knew about the entanglement between his most favored disciple and that little princess. He had previously advised him to stay away from the royal family, whether it was Daphne or Diana.
It's just a pity...
But in the end, his disciple risked his life to chase after the person, but still failed to get what he wanted.
well!
But the current result doesn't seem too bad.
At least because of his friendship with the little princess, he can obtain more information about the mermaid civilization and the mermaid king, and can also serve as a medium for communication between the two sides, thus avoiding war between the two civilizations to the greatest extent possible.
Commander Song readily agreed and spared no expense in investigating Daphne.
Daphne's framing and bullying of Princess Diana back then was no longer just a simple royal conflict; it could easily escalate into war, and Commander Song has no choice but to thoroughly investigate everything.
He would do anything to get Princess Diana to focus her hatred on the royal family and direct it towards other innocent people.
The more Commander Song investigated, the more alarmed he became, and the more disgusted he felt by the corruption within the royal family.
Daphne was originally the daughter of Queen Martha's daughter, whom she considered a sister. However, after her parents died, Queen Martha felt sorry for her becoming an orphan and took her into the royal family to raise her.
Daphne was beautiful and well-behaved, and soon King Abel was so fond of her that he bestowed upon her the title of princess.
Everyone thought that King Abel treated Daphne as his daughter.
Little did anyone expect that after Daphne turned eighteen, she would climb into his bed.
What's most disgusting about this woman is that after becoming the king's secret mistress, she still maintained an ambiguous relationship with Prince Adonis in private.
Over the years, she has cast a wide net, and the men she has been romantically involved with could circle the palace.
But Daphne not only enjoyed the adoration of men, she also went far beyond that.
She was so audacious that she secretly colluded with space pirates, using her status as a royal princess to provide them with protection, help them run a black market, and recruit customers...
Moreover, she is a psychopathic sadist who secretly whips her maid and even frequently goes to her secret base to harm mermaids.
She would stop at nothing to get rid of people and things she disliked.
Princess Diana was one of the victims.
Because Daphne would not allow the royal family to have a second princess, especially since Diana was the bloodline of the King and Queen, a legitimate royal princess, whose status was far more noble than that of Daphne, who was a princess who came to the royal family later in life.
How could the self-centered and petty Daphne tolerate this?
Therefore, from the first day Wen Xin returned to the royal family, she was constantly plotted against and persecuted by her.
Honestly, if Wen Xin hadn't been lucky, she would have been tortured to death by that woman during those two years.
Commander Song frowned, almost unable to resist ordering someone to arrest the woman and bring her to trial.
However, Xiao Bai's meaning was clear: Princess Diana wanted to take revenge herself, so they had better wait and see for the time being to avoid upsetting the little princess and thus angering the Mermaid King...
Well, Beryl made it very clear to the empire's high command that the Mermaid King cherished the little princess like the apple of his eye.
If you offend him, you might just die, but if you provoke the little princess, the Mermaid King might wipe out the entire human civilization.
So, take it easy, family!
Princess Diana is no longer the pitiful little girl who was bullied by everyone!
Moreover, now that the little princess is pregnant, the Mermaid King dotes on her even more.
The imperial high command: "..." We understand, we understand. They will flatter that little princess, and no matter what she does, even if she strangles Daphne to death, they will pretend to be blind!
However, this is Daphne's own doing, so who can she blame?
After giving the imperial high command a heads-up, Beryl finally relaxed a little.
Humans cannot afford a war with mermaids, so they can only try to focus the conflict on royal grudges rather than racial hatred.
Moreover, he believed that as long as the empire was wise enough to treat Wen Xin warmly and politely, and knew not to cause her any trouble, she would never hate her own people.
Since she doesn't target humans, the Mermaid Queen won't do anything to human civilization, and the mermaids below won't dare to cause trouble.
Therefore, Bai Ruiwen kept emphasizing to his mentors that the focus of this mermaid visit was not the mermaid king or the mermaid army, but Wen Xin.
She is the most crucial and important figure in whether the two civilizations can achieve peace.
Fortunately, my mentors were all intelligent people!
As for the royal family...
