If it were a year ago, Olivia would definitely have panicked, but after her experience in the Imperial Council, she has discarded many unrealistic fantasies and become much more pragmatic.

She heard the hidden meaning in Cassius' words just now - the Red Dragon did not really want to declare war on Melward, but was giving him a way out.

Cassius said that the premise is "if Jenny Heath's actions represent Myhrvold's will" rather than "Jenny Heath's actions are Myhrvold's will."

Olivia pondered for a moment, then lowered her head and said in a deep voice:
"I'm sorry, Cassius. I apologize to you on behalf of the Melward clan. The accident just now was definitely not the clan's will. It's just that my aunt is a little stubborn and has some misunderstandings about you. I hope you can forgive me."

Jennysis, who was being held down by the claws, also reacted and quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, this is all my own decision. It has nothing to do with the Melward clan or my father. I am willing to take full responsibility."

Cassius said calmly, “Jennis, my patience is limited. This is my last chance. For Councillor Olivia’s sake, please don’t let me find out about this again.

As for taking responsibility?

Haha, if I kill you, that old guy Osedro will not let it go, and the Empire and the Melward Clan will definitely go to war.

In this case, I have no choice but to punish you slightly. I hope you can remember this lesson and not be so rude again."

"hiss--"

Along with the sound of flesh being burned, a mark of fire appeared on the silver dragon's chest.

Only then did Cassius loosen his front paws, retract the overwhelming pressure from the ancestral dragon, turn around and return to his iron throne.

"huh, huh"

Jenny Histon felt her body lighten, she gasped for breath and cast a grateful look at Olivia.

With the fragmentary magical light, the silver dragon turned back into the appearance of a noble woman, but this time her clothes were disheveled, and there was an extra mark on her white chest.

Jennysis raised her head and looked up at the red dragon high above her, then lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty Cassius."

"Um"

She covered her chest and let out a muffled groan. Fire surged around the mark, and it was extremely hot, causing her to feel excruciating pain.

Then, chains of flames wrapped around her slender neck, leaving burn marks and scars on her fair skin.

Cassius returned to the throne and said casually: "You have lost my trust, so I can only ensure the smooth cooperation in this way. As long as I want, the flames will turn your heart into charcoal at any time.

Besides, if you think I am an unforgivable tyrant, then declaring war on the Empire head-on and playing such tricks would only make me feel ridiculous."

"Um……"

Jennysis covered her chest and nodded through gritted teeth.

She listened to the other party's contemptuous words, felt the piercing pain, and looked down at the mark that looked like a slave's mark and the ugly mark on her neck.

She should have been ashamed.

For any silver dragon, this is a naked humiliation. The marks, scars, and chains are like treating her like a pet.

But the red dragon on the throne gave her an unprecedented feeling, which not only made her lose the desire to resist, but also made her want to surrender and even worship him.

This was terrifying and made Jenny Heath feel terrified from the bottom of her heart.

This is clearly an evil red dragon.

A tyrant.

It was the existence she hated the most. As the daughter of Silver Wing, Jennysis had a good chance of becoming the next leader of Myhrvold. She had defeated countless evil forces, so why would she want to submit to such an existence?

Bahamut, why on earth is this happening?

"Sorry, Your Majesty."

All kinds of complicated emotions were tangled together, as if by magic, Jenny Himes could only repeat what she had just said.

Olivia was watching from the side. For some reason, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so she took the initiative to step forward and remind him: "Casius, since this matter has passed, let's talk about the various matters of cooperation between the empire and the clan."

"it is good."

The red dragon nodded slightly.

Jennysis finally regained some composure. She took out the documents she had prepared long ago and said carefully:
“In order to help the Anzeta Wasteland resist the invasion of the abyss demons, the Melward clan is willing to send three mature silver dragons and twelve adult silver dragons, and teach them all the knowledge on how to deal with demons.

The Burning Embers Empire needs to pay a certain fee to cooperate with the silver dragons in their activities, and the Empire is also obliged to assist when Melward is carrying out demon exorcism operations in other areas."

Cassius was a little surprised: "This time the old guy was not too stingy, he was quite sincere."

Three middle-aged silver dragons and twelve adult silver dragons, this is enough to form a considerable force even in Feanso.

It seems that the determination of the "Silver Wing" to resist the devil is indeed not false.

But in reality, Cassius was very confident in the empire's ability to resist demons, and summoning these silver dragons was just the icing on the cake - what was more important was to establish contact with the metal dragon forces in the south.

As for the second article, which stated that the Burning Empire was obliged to cooperate with Melward in exorcising demons in various areas, Cassius did not object.

But he thought like this: If the empire occupied the continent of Feanso, or even the entire world, no matter where the demonic disaster occurred, resisting the demons would be something the empire had to do anyway, which meant there was no cost.

This time when Cassius mentioned the "old guy" again, Jennysis did not refute, but whispered:

"Your Majesty, my father has been fighting against demons for thousands of years. His determination will never change. You can rest assured..."

After what happened just now, the silver dragon called "Silver Scale" has become much more obedient and no longer as indignant as he was in Goncalo Palace.

"It seems to be fine..."

Cassius glanced at the contract casually, checked it again with the power of imperial authority, and then signed his name on it.

A few sparkling words appeared on the contract.

【Casius Claudius Noricius】

The red dragon grinned, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Then... it's a pleasure to work with you."

Jenny Heath pursed her lips.

Although the process was somewhat tortuous, she completed the task assigned by her father and facilitated cooperation between the Empire and Melward.

Now, Jennysis has completely lost the idea of ​​"defeating the red dragon" in her heart. She can't even muster the slightest thought of resistance. She just wants to end it all as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, she bowed her head and said respectfully: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Your Majesty." (End of this chapter)
