The new Crown Prince was quickly decided upon. Several hundred families belonging to the royal factions held a joint meeting, each sending a family representative. After hearing what had happened, they approved the decision almost instantly, with the sole exception of the slight protest from Original Crown Prince Elvis's maternal family.
Thus, Luo Na, who had obtained the Nine Nether Pupils by murdering the former Crown Prince, went from murderer to the most esteemed member of the Night Demon Clan's younger generation in the span of a single afternoon!
Gou Dan lay sprawled on the sofa, enjoying the Electromagnetic Needles Monica administered. Her tail swayed back and forth as she slowly listened to Monica and Queen Xi discuss the matter.
"That passed rather quickly. It turns out their council is quite efficient when something important comes up." Queen Xi reclined halfway in a rocking chair, filing her slender nails.
Monica smiled faintly, though she knew exactly what the lord was mocking. In the past, whenever matters involving the Night Demon Clan had to be coordinated, they would always summon the council members for a meeting. Each meeting lasted several days and often delayed things, while every Night Demon Emperor could only look helpless.
And as it turned out, when a matter truly affected their interests, the so-called family obstruction simply did not exist.
Just like Elvis's maternal clan. They had suffered such a huge loss, but before the interests of the whole came first, their protest could not even delay things for a minute.
"Um..." Gou Dan, who had been lying silently on the sofa, suddenly spoke. "That guy called Elvis—the arrogant one, yeah, that guy. What happened to him?"
Queen Xi and Monica exchanged an amused glance. It was rare for little Gou Dan to care about such matters.
