Chapter 2402: From Sweetie to Sl*t

The Mermaid Queen was shocked. She quickly turned around and saw that the Peacock Princess was walking out of the palace.

The Peacock Princess didn’t even give her a look while saying coldly, “I snuck into the Mermaid Queen’s palace and she didn’t know. There is no need to trouble her.”

She'd already heard the dispute that was going on outside and knew that Mojard had already surrounded this place with his subordinates. Additionally, she was seriously injured right now and couldn't escape at all. If the monsters searched the Mermaid Queen’s palace, that would only end up harming the Mermaid Queen for no benefit. That was why she'd directly offered herself up.

How could the Mermaid Queen not know what she was doing? She sighed inwardly. Even though this girl was still young, she had quite the lofty character. Unfortunately, there was really no way to save her anymore.

The Dragon King was also surprised to see that, but he reacted quickly and shouted, “Audacious assassin, you killed the monster emissary and dared to attempt escape? Men, arrest this assassin immediately.”

Mojard narrowed his eyes. He stared at the Peacock Princess and said, “You have quite the spirit of loyalty and self-sacrifice, actually clearing the Mermaid Queen of guilt in this way.”

“I didn’t have much of a relationship with her to begin with. Even women like us know we should take responsibility for our own actions. I wasn’t able to kill you due to my own lack of skill, so why would I implicate the innocent?” The Peacock Princess’ words resounded powerfully, but she felt completely ice-cold inside.

Sigh, it seems the Fiend races’ fate is already sealed. We made so many excellent plans, but who could’ve anticipated that someone like the Incestuous King would actually be hiding among the emissaries?

“What are you staring blankly for? Hurry and capture that slut!” The Dragon King had seen that Mojard was starting to mutter to himself and he was also worried that the Mermaid Queen would be implicated, so he quickly urged his subordinates to move. That way, the matter of this woman being in the Mermaid Queen’s palace would quickly be settled.

“Yes, sir!” The shrimp soldiers and crab generals rushed at the Peacock Princess.

The Peacock Princess stared coldly at the Dragon King and said, “The Dragon King truly is ruthless. You used to call me 'lil’ sweetie', and yet now you’re immediately calling me a slut when your courtship has failed.”

The Dragon King’s expression changed a bit. He looked at the Mermaid Queen and Mojard guiltily before replying, “What kind of nonsense are you saying, when did I call you... 'lil’ sweetie'?”

“Really? That’s not what you said before,” the Peacock Princess retorted with a sneer. “When you first saw me, you said that as long as I agreed to marry you, you would ally with our Fiend races to fight the monsters. Why are you suddenly going back on your word?”

The Mermaid Queen’s brows raised slightly as she looked coldly at the Dragon King. When she heard those familiar words, she immediately knew that the Peacock Princess wasn’t lying.

Who knows how many times he used these tricks on pretty women! He really is shameless!

When he saw Mojard look at him coldly as well, the Dragon King started to panic a bit. “Stop making up lies! Incestuous King, don’t listen to her. She is just using words to ruin our relationship because she has no way out.”

Mojard smiled. “There’s no way I would believe her. The Dragon King needs not worry.”

The Dragon King sighed in relief when he heard that. However, he was still nervous. He'd heard that the Incestuous King was temperamental.

Is he saying this because he really doesn’t believe her or is it just to appease me?

The Peacock Princess continued, “Dragon King, you said that the Ocean races still have many leaders who do not wish to go against the monsters, and that was why you told me to kill the monster emissaries and end their thoughts of surrender. Only then would you be able to completely collaborate with our Fiend races!

“If it wasn’t because you lent me the Dragon Palace’s guard uniforms and even ordered the guards to give us some room to carry this mission out, how could we have so easily infiltrated the monster emissaries’ palace?”

“Shut up! This king is going to kill you!” the Dragon King exclaimed, feeling shocked and furious. The Peacock Princess was mixing in seventy percent truth with thirty percent lies, but these were the types of lies that were the hardest to distinguish. If Mojard really did believe her, things would become really troublesome.

The Peacock Princess raised her head and closed her eyes. It would be great if she could just die like this. Otherwise, who knew what would happen if she ended up in the monsters’ hands?

The Mermaid Queen had been preparing to save her, but when she saw how the princess was acting, she guessed what the latter's intentions were. The moment of hesitation that created already made it too late to get involved.

“Execution is prohibited here!” Mojard said coldly. A golden light covered the entire place.

The Dragon King immediately fell from the air, sensing that he could no longer strike out with his palm anymore.

“Dragon King, this is the one who killed our emissaries, and she has a special identity too. I wish to bring her back for the lord to deal with. Killing her here is a bit unsuitable, don’t you think?” Mojard looked at him with an ambiguous smile.

The Dragon King hurriedly said with an apologetic smile, “What the Incestuous King says is correct; I have shown carelessness. It’s this woman’s fault for being so infuriating just now.”

At the same time, he was startled.

This Incestuous King really does deserve his reputation. I can’t do anything against this soulspeak.

The Dragon race was also proficient in soulspeak, and their bodies were highly resistant to it. But even so, he couldn't break free of the laws Mojard had spoken into existence.

The Peacock Princess immediately took out a dagger to stab at her own heart. However, Mojard’s finger flicked out, and her dagger was struck away. She was restrained by the other guards the next second and could no longer do anything.

“I will be bringing this assassin away. Thank you for your cooperation, Dragon King and Mermaid Queen.” Even though Mojard thanked them, there wasn’t any trace of gratitude on his face. He took the Peacock Princess and turned around to leave.

The Dragon King saw them off with a big smile, while the Mermaid Queen bit her lip tightly. Her expression was completely cold. She knew that the Peacock Princess had only come out to avoid revealing her. Otherwise, the princess could’ve easily ended her own life beforehand. Now that the princess had been been captured by the monsters, her end was bound to be even more bitter. The Mermaid Queen had to save her.

As if guessing her thoughts, the Dragon King gave her a look. “Queen, didn’t you already see it for yourself? Just the Incestuous King alone wasn’t someone we could fight against, let alone the fact that their side has some people who are even stronger. As for other strong monsters, they are even more so innumerable in number.”

The Mermaid Queen gave him a cold look. “This is the Ocean races’ territory. If we really went to war, what could a mere Incestuous King do alone? Isn’t the Dragon King being a bit too cowardly?”

The Dragon King’s expression changed. He quickly looked in the direction Mojard had left in. When he saw that the latter was already gone, he then quickly said, “I’m begging you, please stop being so stubborn... If we send out all of our strongest, we might be able to beat Mojard, but we might not even be able to keep him here. If he brought the monster army here, wouldn’t that be the day of our entire Ocean races’ destruction?!”

The Mermaid Queen looked at him in disappointment and said, “I thought the Dragon King was a heroic figure in the past, but I never expected you to be so servile and submissive. I am going back to get some rest, so I won’t be seeing you out.” Afterward, she swung her sleeves and turned around to return to her palace.

When he saw the strange looks of the surrounding guards, the Dragon King was shocked and furious. He stared at the Mermaid Queen’s back, and a sour feeling welled up inside him.

Did I treat this woman too well before, to the point that she has forgotten who I am?!

I will completely crush that arrogance of yours one day and make it so that you can only obediently crawl in front of me!

When the Dragon King left, the Mermaid Queen changed her outfit. She naturally couldn't just watch as the Peacock Princess experienced that tragic fate. She'd been trying to find a way to save the latter, but considering that her rescue earlier was exposed, she didn’t know if there were any traitors among her subordinates. That was why she didn’t bring anyone else. She removed her extravagant dress and changed into a normal palace maid outfit. Then, she disappeared under the curtain of night.
