Chapter 459

Meliodas's words pierced straight into Emerald's heart like a sharp blade.

The Albares Empire, such a powerful nation, had crossed over from the Western Continent, so the first to make contact with them would be—

—the Kingdom of Fiore, and judging from Meliodas's words—

—this information must certainly carry a certain degree of truth.

"Hah..."

Princess Emerald exhaled deeply, a cold sweat trickling down from her forehead.

"I agree. The Kingdom of Fiore welcomes you..."

"I, Emeraude E. Fiore, on behalf of the Kingdom of Fiore, accept you. I hope you can shield the kingdom from the enemies that will soon arrive."

Princess Emerald stepped forward and extended her right hand to Meliodas.

"I, Meliodas, captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, Sin of Wrath."

"On behalf of all the Seven Deadly Sins, thank you for your acceptance."

Meliodas performed a standard knight's bow, took Princess Emerald's hand, and gently kissed it.

Elsewhere, within the Pingyi Society, the Shengshi Society.

Inside a massive crystal before them, magical airships and vessels from the Albares Empire filled the view.

All the Shengshi, including the Speaker of the Pingyi Society, wore solemn facial expressions as they gazed at the crystal orb.

"How much longer until the Albares Empire arrives at Ishugar?"

Makarov took a deep breath, his expression slightly heavy.
