Chapter 220
Ryan crossed his legs. "Actually, my contract isn't without room for negotiation. As long as you promise me one thing, we can discuss it. After all, I'm a very kind and easy-going person, and I can't bear to see the people of Wildea suffer."
Elvian: "..."
How could someone be so shameless?... Elvian was truly bewildered.
"What are your conditions?"
"I'm the kind of person who loves adventure, and I'm not lying to Avril about that. I've heard a lot about how powerful your Moon God Temple is, so I want to go in and take a look."
"The Temple of the Moon Goddess?" Elvian frowned. "What would you be doing going in there?"
"Adventure, what's the big deal about just checking in?"
"That's it? Ryan, you're trying to uncover the Moonlight Knight's secrets, aren't you?"
"Ha~ Moonlight Knight, what trash." Ryan scoffed. "I said I'd just go in and take a look, I'm not going to dig up any secrets."
Elvian's eyes flickered.
The more Ryan said it, the more certain she became.
However, there's not much to dig up in the Temple of the Moon God.
Because it was a 'miracle'.
So even if someone has ulterior motives, it's useless.
The moon goddess protects the Veldyans, and her power is only bestowed upon those who believe in her. Even if Ryan were to go in, he could only take a look at the place.
"Your Majesty," Avril whispered, "We can agree to his request, and I'll go in with him. With me there, he can't do anything."
Elvian nodded slightly.
Indeed, Avril is Starry Knight.
When she arrived at the Temple of the Moon Goddess, the power of the gods protected her.
"Good Ryan, I promise you, as long as you don't damage what's inside."
"Don't worry, I'll just take a look."
"Then this contract..."
"Okay, let's talk about it after I come out."
Ryan stood up and strolled leisurely outside.
"Going berserk?" Jonathan asked as he pushed open the door.
"I won't lose my temper today, I'll deal with it tomorrow."
"Alright... let's go, let's take a stroll around the royal city!"
"Aren't you worried about being assassinated?"
"It's just the two of us, nobody will recognize us. The girls in the royal city are so fresh and beautiful!"
"..."
Looking at the two people in the distance, Elvian gritted her teeth in anger, but soon she sighed helplessly.
This wasn't the plan, so why does it always turn out like this...? Why do I always feel so powerless when facing Ryan?
"Avril, thank you so much for today," Elvian sighed softly. "It's all my fault for being too impulsive."
Upon reflection, she realized she shouldn't have revealed her agreement with 'Vainay' so early; she should have let Ryan guess and be wary of it himself.
Although Ryan seems indifferent, he definitely has his own thoughts. A loyal subject of the empire? Him? More like the empire's biggest traitor!
"Your Majesty was just anxious, I know," Avril said with a smile, trying to comfort him. "I'm fine. As long as Your Majesty is alright and Wilderness can get through this crisis safely, I'm fine with anything."
"Avril..."
Elvian felt a pang of pain in her heart. "Thank you."
"Your Majesty, I think... I should go and talk to Ryan tonight," Avril said hesitantly.
"Tonight? No, no way!" Elvian shook her head. "He'll definitely bully you!"
"It's alright, Your Majesty," Avril said softly. "Although Ryan has temporarily relented, he hasn't signed the contract. If I go to him, I'll have a better chance of winning."
"..."
Looking at the sensible Avril, Elvian felt very guilty.
"Don't rush, Avril. Let's talk about it after Ryan goes to the ruins."
Elvian's emotions were also in a state of confusion, so she could only try to calm Avril down and prevent her from making any rash moves.
After everyone left, Elvian sat alone in the conference room, lost in thought. By the time she came to her senses late at night, it was already completely dark outside.
I glanced at the time; it was nine o'clock at night.
"Ugh, what's wrong with me? I was so impulsive today. If this continues, Ryan will keep me under his thumb... No, I absolutely can't do this tomorrow."
"Thanks to Avril today, she even knelt down to Ryan... Damn Ryan."
After a pause, Elvian decided to go and talk to 'Avril', apologize, and comfort her, because she didn't want to hurt her good friend and the hope of the kingdom.
However, when Elvian arrived at Avril's room, she found that Avril was not there.
Where did Avril go?
She asked the castle guards.
"Your Majesty, Avril, she..." The guard's eyes flickered.
Elvian's eyes sharpened. "Speak quickly!"
"Yes, yes! Avril seems to have gone to the Leicester Hotel... She said she couldn't tell anyone, so..."
Boom! Elvian's mind went completely blank for a moment.
The Leicester Hotel, the residence of the August Diplomatic Corps, Avril... went to plead with Ryan!
Update now! Happy weekend everyone! Let's celebrate with some monthly votes!!! Please, Watashi...
Chapter 141 Ryan's Advancement! Are the Twin Stars Sisters Ryan the Chosen Ones of the Moon Goddess? [10,000 views]
When Elvian arrived at the Leicester Hotel, it was nighttime, so she could immediately see the lights still on.
She looked up and her gaze fell on the far left of the third floor, where Ryan's room was, and unsurprisingly, it was also lit up.
The world's nightlife is concentrated in certain places, and most people, unless they choose to go out and have fun at night, will be asleep by 9 p. m., since they have to get up early the next day to start their grueling workday.
Although Elvian knew that Ryan, as the head of negotiations, might still be working late into the night, 'Avril' was there! Ryan? What was he working for? What kind of work was he doing?
Just thinking about how Avril would be bullied by Ryan made Elvian feel like she was going to collapse. Her previous kneeling and begging posture towards Ryan... no, it would definitely be ten or a hundred times worse! After all, that's Ryan, a beast in human form!
Although Elvian was reluctant to admit it, objectively speaking, Ryan was indeed very charming, the kind of person a girl would be attracted to at first glance. She even suspected that Ryan might be Supernatural Being had entered the path of desire, but previous investigation data showed that he seemed to have been a member of the Burning Covenant. That force that worshipped the Sun God shouldn't allow Desire Cultists to join, right?
In any case, Avril is dangerous!
Elvian was thinking of sneaking in to check things out. If 'Avril' was really there... then she definitely wouldn't, she definitely wouldn't...
A figure walked out of the Leicester Hotel.
Avril was wearing a pale yellow dress, her head down, looking hurried.
"Avril!"
Elvian immediately called out to her.
"Your Majesty?!" Avril exclaimed in alarm. "Why are you here?"
"What are you doing here!" Elvian shouted angrily. "Didn't I tell you not to come looking for Ryan?!"
"Your Majesty, I have only come to discuss with Ryan the matter of going to the temple tomorrow."
Elvian didn't speak. She looked at 'Avril,' whose face still clearly had a blush. In this situation, you're saying you're going to discuss serious business? Who would believe that!
Even if Elvian had never experienced anything like that, she could probably tell.
Can.
Thousand|Search⑨б○①②⑥②⑦Ling
It's too late!
What's the point of saying all that now? While she was still wallowing in self-pity, 'Avril' had already compromised with Ryan for the sake of the kingdom, and even...
"Your Majesty, it's alright." Avril offered a pale smile. "Everything will be alright. Once we get through this difficult time, there's still hope for Wildea, isn't there?"
"Avril, you..." Elvian gently shook her head. "You are the acting Queen of Wildea. You should learn to adapt to your role. When I am no longer here, the kingdom will still need to be managed by you. As Queen, you should maintain the dignity and pride of Queen. I know you are doing this for Wildea, but I am still here. There are some things I will do because I am no longer the king. But you are not suitable, do you understand?"
Avril hung her head and remained silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty... I have never felt happy being Queen."
"..."
Elvian opened her mouth, looked at the haggard-looking 'Avril,' gently hugged her, and patted her back. "I'm sorry, Avril, I forced you to shoulder the responsibilities of the kingdom... If you really don't want to, then give up this role as acting Queen, and I'll find someone else."
"... No need, Your Majesty, I can do it." 'Avril' took a half step back, revealing a strong smile, "Everything is for Wilderness, this little difficulty cannot defeat me."
"Really?"
"Well, Your Majesty, actually Ryan just promised me that he will have a proper talk with us after we leave the Temple of the Moon God tomorrow. Although it will be difficult to get the conditions you proposed, it should be much better than before. So Your Majesty, please put aside your hatred for Ryan for now."
Elvian sighed softly, "Perhaps I really am not as good as him... Avril, I promise you, I will try my best to restrain myself."
Each confrontation severely damaged Elvian's self-esteem. In the current situation, it would be difficult for her to turn the tide. If things continued like this, she would waste the opportunities that 'Avril' had worked so hard to obtain.
Put down your pride, Elvian! Avril has already gone this far, are you still going to be so stubborn? She is a gift from the moon goddess, the pride of the kingdom. She has already done so much, what else can't you let go of?
After all, the current situation in Wilderness is entirely your doing!
Dignity? Dignity without everything is worthless.
Elvian took a deep breath, trying to mentally prepare herself.
At this moment, Avril suddenly said, "Actually, if Your Majesty really wants to take revenge on Ryan, there are ways."
"Oh?" Elvian's eyes lit up. "What method?"
Avril shook her head vigorously again. "N-nothing, I was just talking nonsense. That kind of thing is definitely not allowed."
"Tell me, Avril, what's the plan?"
"It's really nothing. I just overheard others at the Training Camp talking about it, but that method is definitely not suitable for His Your Majesty."
Elvian grew impatient. "Tell me what the solution is! I'll decide for myself whether it's suitable or not."

"It's just...it's just..." Avril whispered, "Those sisters say they like to conquer their lovers with their bodies...but this method is definitely not suitable for Your Majesty. And Your Majesty is the King of Wildea, how can you use this method? No, absolutely not. Your Majesty only needs to consider the future of the kingdom. Leave this matter to me."
Body?
Elvian was taken aback.
Conquest... does that even count?
Indeed, she had previously spent time in the Knights' training camp, so she naturally knew the lewd words spoken by those female knights.
Wait, could it be that 'Avril' believed all of this...? Elvian was furious. "Avril, just listen to what those people in the training camp say. As the Queen, how can you let such things influence you? You're not allowed to have any more contact with Ryan alone!"
"... I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
"I am still here, I have not fallen yet. I will handle the matter of Wildeya. You don't need to worry about it!"
Elvian was exasperated. "Avril, how could you even come up with such a terrible idea! The things that Training Camp are all trivial matters, just things people joke about in private. How naive you are to actually believe them!"
You are the future Queen, the Queen of Wildeia, and you rely on absolute strength and personal charisma, not these dirty tricks!
"Alright, go back and rest." Elvian's tone softened. "Avril, your task now is to cultivate diligently, understand? I will have someone send you cultivation supplies. Just ask if you need anything, and don't think about anything else."
"But Your Majesty, what if Ryan still doesn't agree..."
"Rest assured, I will do everything in my power to get him to sign the peace treaty."
"You have another idea?" 'Avril' tilted her head.
"Yes, yes... I've already thought it through, you don't need to worry."
