Although Imperu's level was not high, she was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, Imperu rushed in front of Bryen, the dagger in her hand stabbing at Bryen without hesitation.
Although Bryen was surprised that Imperu dared to take action against her, however, Bryen was a queen, and her power far outweighed Imperu's.
Due to the fact that Bryen wanted to lose weight, she worked out and thus she had amazing physical strength. Even though Bryen was a mage, she could withstand attacks from low-level Fighters or Swordsmen.
That's why, when she saw Imperu rush over, Bryen only smiled scornfully. She swung her greasy hand to hit Imperu but at this moment, Ratylous took action.
He saw that Bryen was not afraid, and that she had the ability to fight back, so he decided to stop Imperu.
Ratylous used both of his hands to hold Imperu's shoulders, stopping her from moving, Ratylous's cold voice then resounded: "Imperu, you are making me angry. Empress, you are mentally unstable right now, you need to rest."
"I am not!" Imperu struggled fiercely but she could not escape Ratylous's hands: "Let me go, I want to kill that bitch! Let go of me!"
Ratylous frowned, he suddenly patted Imperu on the head causing her to suddenly faint. Bryen saw this and knew that Ratylous only used magic to help Imperu sleep, as he did not actually knock her out.
Then, Ratyous motioned for his subordinates to come in and bring her out. These subordinates were the people he had nurtured since childhood, so they were absolutely loyal, and were machines that only obeyed his orders.
Even if they saw Raven dead or something similar, they wouldn't do anything because they only obeyed Ratylous's orders.
After sending Imperu away, Ratylous breathed a sigh of relief, he asked: "Okay, you can tell me the whole truth."
Bryen frowned and said, "I have told you the truth. I didn't kill Raven, he died because of Selvih and Silutop."
Ratyous frowned upon hearing this, and said, "I need to know the truth. Whether it was Silutop or Selvih, they wouldn't be able to kill all 20 of my assassins. I hope you can give me a reasonable answer, otherwise…"
Speaking of which, Ratylous was like a wolf looking at his prey, and of course, his prey was Bryen. However, she was unafraid, Bryen pouted and said, "What are you going to do? Ratyous, you're my father-in-law, but that does not mean that you can do whatever you want."
"You should remember, that without me, your entire kingdom would become a delicious cake in the mouths of the other kingdoms."
"Ratylous, do you want to kill me? Stop daydreaming…hahaha…" Bryen sneered: "Can you kill me? I admit I am much weaker than you, but I am also a princess of the Zumberos Kingdom, I have many skills to save my life, and as long as I get out of this place, and return to my kingdom, do you think that you and your kingdom can continue to exist?"
"I agreed to marry Raven not because my parents forced me to, but because I thought I could find someone who truly loved me. I thought I could change his mind with my sincerity and talent."
"You think I wanted to be busy managing this Kingdom because I'm greedy for power? Hahaha… don't be so stupid. I just wanted to help Raven, and make him slowly change the way he thinks about me."
"But he hasn't changed, on the contrary, he blatantly flirts with other girls in front of me, is that any different from insulting me?"
When Ratyous heard that, his anger and killing intent slightly decreased. At this moment, he felt extremely embarrassed.
Yes, at first, he let his son propose to Bryen because the Zumberos kingdom had a lot of resources. If this marriage was successful, Ratyous's kingdom would continue to prolong its life.
No, to be more precise, not only would they prolong their life, but they would also grow stronger and more prosperous than before.
At that time, Ratyous thought that just building a relationship between the two kingdoms was enough, and the problem between Raven and Bryen could be solved by themselves, so he didn't care about them.
But he was wrong, he didn't think that the matter would get out of hand, and he was wrong to think that the Zumberos kingdom wouldn't be interested in an ugly and fat girl like Bryen.
At this moment, Ratyous really regretted, however, in this world there was no medicine for regret.
Bryen continued: "You want to know about Raven's death? Okay, no problem. Like I said, Selvih's power was not the same as in the intelligence we received, she was too strong."
"Even though Savuo called Silutop to fight for him, he couldn't defeat Selvih."
"Impossible!" Ratyous immediately countered: "Silutop couldn't beat Selvih? Are you kidding me?"
Bryen frowned and said, "Don't interrupt when I'm talking."
Bryen's voice was filled with anger that surprised Ratylous a little, although he was angry at Bryen's attitude, he remained silent and continued listening.
"I don't know why Selvih had such tremendous strength, but she was indeed capable of defeating Silutop. It was just that I used curse magic so Selvih's power was reduced by more than 80%."
"At that time, Silutop could easily squeeze Selvih but someone appeared, and protected her."
When Ratyous heard this, he frowned.
Bryen ignored the man's expression, and continued, "That person joined Selvih, and fought Silutop, this forced Silutop to use a forbidden spell to increase his strength."
"However, in the end Selvih and that person won. They were also the ones who killed Raven."
When Ratyous heard this, he found it even more difficult to believe, but upon thinking carefully, he felt that there was something mysterious about this.
"Who helped Selvih?" Ratylous asked.
Bryen shook his head and said: "I don't know, I couldn't see his face clearly, I just heard him say that he was the Void Lord, and the head of the Elkia kingdom."
"Void Lord? Elkia?" Ratylous tried to rummage through his memory but he still didn't know who the self-proclaimed Void Lord Bryen had just mentioned was.
However, he chose to trust Bryen.
Why?
Because Silutop's existence was also a mystery, only the Dark-Elf royal family and a few ancient kingdoms knew of his existence.
Besides, although Silutop was powerful, it was also true that Silutop also possessed a forbidden spell like what Bryen had just said.
However, Ratylous still didn't fully trust Bryen as he had to investigate further. But he thought that Bryen had no reason to deceive him.
After all, the existence of his Shareny kingdom rested on Bryen and if Bryen wanted to, she could immediately cut off the link between the two kingdoms, and leave the Shareny kingdom in a state of resource shortage.
While Ratyous was pondering, Bryen's voice continued: "If you think I'm greedy for power, and that I killed Raven, then I will leave all the management of this kingdom to you. I don't want to do this either, I only ran this kingdom because I wanted to prove my ability."
"Now, there is no need for me to do this boring job. I can be like your wife, Imperu, and act madly."
"Ah! Yes, Impru is not only crazy but she is also stupid. Ratyous, your standards are too low, hahahaha…"
Ratylous was angry when he heard that, but he didn't dare show it, anyway, he was living on Bryen, or else Bryen would have died from the moment he saw Raven's body.
Seeing Ratyous patiently endure, Bryen mentally scolded: "Huh! You are really spineless. Your son was killed by someone else but you are still trying to endure, let me see how long you can hold back."
"Hahahaha…" Suddenly Ratyous said: "Bryen, I am not saying you are greedy for power. After all, you are also my daughter-in-law, I also consider you as my own daughter, how can I say that you are like that."
"Okay, I will investigate Raven's death, so you can continue to govern this kingdom. Even though Raven is dead, he is not my only son."
Bryen frowned and asked, "Hm? Do you have another son?"
"Of course i do." Ratylous smiled confidently: "After all, my harem has more than a hundred people, I have 5 other sons. Because Imperu is the woman I love the most, I only told people that I have only one male child, which is Raven."
Bryen despised Ratylous even more in her heart, he was so deceitful that even if his son died, he still tried to gain benefits for himself.
At this moment, Bryen's mind immediately recalled Hikaru, his image in her mind reaching the height of a god, or religion.
Bryen remembered that when Hikaru appeared to save Selvih, in her heart she was extremely jealous but also extremely excited.
Inwardly Bryen scolded: "Huh! Compared to the man I love, you're just a stupid ant. Do you want to marry someone else to me? I'm afraid you're just trying to hold onto your current resources."
Bryen shook his head and said: "No need, now that Raven is dead, I don't want to do anything either."
Ratylous suddenly sighed when he heard that, he said: "So… for the time being, I will take over the management of the kingdom, you can rest. When you want, I will…"
"No need." Bryen immediately refused: "I am not greedy for your power, don't worry, I will still allow you to exploit the current mines."
With that said, Bryen stood up and left, not giving Ratylous a chance to convince her at all.
Of course, inwardly Bryen also felt extremely nauseous with the way the royal family operated. Yes, in the royal family, if a man dies, his wife could pass her on to another son in the royal family.
If the women in the royal family did not have the strength to defend themselves, then they would be treated like a commodity. If a person was tired of them, then they could give them to other people to use, they were not valued at all.
Seeing Bryen leave, Ratylous frowned, as he did not know what she was thinking.
