Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1088: Co-enemy

Walking in the corridor of the imperial palace, Rhine's gaze landed on the swaying back of the maidservant leading the way, but he did not forget to say, "Princess Shusha is the Naga beauty whom the Emperor married not long ago. I heard that the Great Emperor arranged for her to stay in the Blue Water Palace, which was the palace where the concubines of the Naga clan had lived for generations. "This princess rarely interacted with anyone after entering the palace. Even His Highness Prince Julian did not know what she looked like, but she actually invited you to meet him …"

Ryan shook his head and laughed, "If this were to get out, it would be a shock."

Ellen frowned, "I don't know this princess. Why does she want to see me?" Although Alan had met Princess Naga a few times, Princess Shusha didn't know her, so she didn't know why she had invited her. Rein naturally couldn't say anything about this.

Not long after, Blue Water Palace arrived. From the looks of it, there wasn't anything special about this palace. However, the moment he entered the palace, he felt that the water was filled with energy. He could tell that it was a residence specially set up for the Naga Clan. The maidservant brought Allen to a room. The maidservant pushed open the door that depicted the blue ripples of water and said, "Count Allen, please come in." Then he said politely to Ryan, "The princess has invited only the count. Please follow me, my lord."

Ryan had no choice but to take a step back. Alan entered through the door, and the door behind him slowly closed.

The room was decorated elegantly. On the east wall, there was a glass water tank. There were all kinds of fish for viewing and admiring. Someone stood in front of the water tank. Even though their backs were facing Alan, their silhouettes were filled with a fragile aura. Any man who saw them would feel pity and protection. This was the special charm of Naga women. Alan calmed down and respectfully said, "Greetings, Princess Shusha."

When the woman turned around, she was indeed a beautiful face that brought disaster to the country and the people. Her brows and lips were filled with charm. Surprisingly, Ellen couldn't see any scales. He looked at the princess with rapt attention. Sure enough, this princess didn't have any scales unique to the Naga Clan. He felt strange. "Count Allen saved my life. There's no one around. You can call me Sana. As for Shusa, she's just a name you use in the human race." josei

"Sana?" Ellen narrowed her eyes. The princess' voice sounded so familiar, coupled with her words of "save me". Alan's heart skipped a beat and he said, "You're Lily's …"

"That's right, it's me." Sana smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I finally survived. I was able to make a contribution to the Naga Clan because I'm a mixed-blood. Only in the water can I show the Naga Clan's characteristics. That's why your king likes me so much. Thus, the Naga Clan has regained the protection of the Human Empire."

Ellen did not know what to say, and although Sana said it calmly, everyone knew that such a disguised political deal would not be pleasant. The Naga royal clan's battle prowess was astonishing when they reached adulthood. This was evident from the fact that Lily had temporarily entered adulthood with the help of a secret technique and had beaten Seguris to the point that he did not have the strength to retaliate. Unfortunately, the number of royal clans was too small, and the Naga Clan's adulthood was so long that it was impossible for Sana to exchange him for the protection of the empire.

"Your Highness Lily agrees with you?"

Sana turned to look at the water tank in the wall. "Of course she didn't agree, but I convinced her. If I don't do this, the Naga race will most likely face a great calamity. While you were heading north, Mason's men appeared again and again near the corridor of the Nether River. This Archduke Sword Lord is eyeing our Immortal Spring covetously. Even though I entered the palace, it was like the fish in the water tank were no longer free. But at the very least, your king has already sent a naval fleet captain to an island not far from our sacred land, to hint at our race regaining the protection of the empire. That's enough for me. "

"Then the princess's invitation to see me this time isn't as simple as an old friend reunion, right?"

"You men always put utility in your eyes. Can't you just say a few words to me? Do you have to have a purpose to invite Earl Allen?" Sana's eyes were blurry like smoke at sea, "I don't know anyone here. Earl Allen is rare, so I can't help but ask someone to call you over. If you don't want to, then go ahead."

Ellen smiled bitterly. "Can't I be mistaken?"

"Alright. Otherwise, wouldn't I be too stingy?" Sana walked over and asked Ellen to sit down. "But you're right," she said. "There's something else I'd like to discuss with you besides meeting my old friend."

Alan thought to himself, "What's the matter? You're the princess now. I think His Majesty will be happy to help you solve any problems."

"Your king is not omnipotent." Sana pointed out. She sat gracefully and flawlessly, giving full play to the feminine side. Compared to her, the knights of Nelly were as young as little girls. Sana looked at Alan and slowly said, "I want to get rid of Mason!"

Although Alan was prepared, he was still at a loss for words when he spat them out from Sana's mouth. After all, they were discussing killing an Empire's Grand Duke in the Dawn Fort Imperial Palace. No matter how they looked at it, this wasn't a small matter. Alan calmed down and said, "That's not easy."

"It's not easy, but he's our common enemy. I don't think Earl Allen would be happy to see Mason continue to jump around like this, would he?"

Alan admitted in his heart that it was because of Mason. Eric, the Bloody Earl, and Midian, the Ten Saints, were all coming for his life. Even though he hadn't seen Mason yet, this Grand Duke of the Sword was undoubtedly a formidable opponent in his heart. Moreover, he was now on Julian's side. Whether he wanted it or not, Mason had already become a life-and-death enemy.

Either he dies or I die!

"What plans does the princess have?" Alan asked.

Sana said happily, "It seems that we have reached a preliminary agreement. Very good. Actually, there are plans as well. There are no plans either. The key is still your king."

"Great Emperor?"

"Tangelio is a nostalgic person." Sana shook his head. "Even in his heroic lifetime, he couldn't bypass this human weakness. Back then, when Tangerio was fighting for the crown prince, Mason had worked hard for him and suffered a knife. If it weren't for this, how could the Mason Clan have risen? You probably don't know, in fact, when Tangerio was young, Mason's family was on the decline. But because of Mason, the clan had been endlessly glorious for the past twenty years. Mason, the Grand Duke, could be said to have risked his life to return. "

'"Great Emperor is grateful for Mason's contributions. Even though Mason's actions in recent years have exceeded his expectations, your King is only pretending to be deaf and dumb. I heard that the Prime Minister hinted that Great Emperor Mason was a threat not long ago, but he scolded you. Fortunately, it was Nabott. If it was anyone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been so easily scolded."

"Great Emperor's nostalgia is not a weakness," Allen said calmly. "It's just that Mason took advantage of it."

Sana said with a disapproving expression, "The Emperor is heartless. If he is recalling his old love everywhere, then how can he display his strength?" But I don't think Tangelio is that kind of pedantic person. In my opinion, he should have a ruler in his heart to measure how much he owes Mason. When the debt was paid off, it was time to act in the fury of thunder. If he can't even do that, then Tangerio is nothing more than that. "

"According to what you said, all our plans against Mason will be in vain until Great Emperor has paid off his debt to him."

"That's right, but it won't be long before the Great Emperor is unable to endure Mason's actions."

"Oh?" Alan raised his head with a respectful look.

"Not long ago, a hereditary Marquis of the empire disappeared without a reason. His whereabouts have not been found yet, but his whereabouts are suspected to be related to Mason, and there are many clues that Mason is planning to betray him." Sana narrowed his eyes and said, "Tangerio can tolerate Mason's past, but he can't allow anything that shakes the very foundation of the royal family. Unless he wants to give up the throne, that's impossible, so I say the chance to get rid of Mason is near."

"Then what can I do in here?"

"Naturally, I hope Earl Allen can help me when I cut Marsen off."

Ellen smiled bitterly. "Trust me, I'm happy to do this. But I know that Mason is no ordinary Duke. He is a Sword Lord among the Ten Saints. If you give me a few years, I might be able to fight. But now, to be honest, I can't even beat Midian, let alone Sword Lord Mason."

"Indeed. The only one in the palace who can defeat Mason is Tangerio. But your king will not fight. As for Roderick, he can fight. But Great Marshal is busy setting up troops in the north and south to fight against Shadow Duchy's army. As for Count, you are indeed quite a distance away from Mason, but you know a great man."

Ellen frowned. "Why didn't I know that I knew someone big enough to threaten Mason?"

"Because she hid it deep enough, and you're a little stupid." Sara blinked and said, "Elizabeth, is this enough?"

"That young miss? That's true. She is Duke Niaohua's younger sister …"

Sara couldn't help but laugh and shook her head. "Count Allen, you are always so smart and capable, but you are sometimes so cute. If you were a little more careful and ask around, you would know that Mistress Niaohua doesn't have a sister at all."

Ellen opened his mouth wide, "Could it be that Elizabeth is …"

'"Yes, Elizabeth is Daughter Nightingale, and Elizabeth is hers. If it weren't for her, do you think the two top ten Saints, Jueyan and Dusk, would have gone to the Old Great Wall to cause trouble for Midian?" Sara leaned forward slightly and narrowed her eyes. "Then you see, our Nightingale told you what few people know about her. Doesn't it seem like you two have an extraordinary relationship? Trust me, I'm also a woman. I know what that means."
