Chapter 567

"Your Excellency Nigun, I really don't understand, why didn't our Theocracy fight for the position of commander of the coalition?"

"Isn't the Slane Theocracy's crusade against the undead for the purpose of gaining greater prestige among human nations, to facilitate our future development of believers?"

"Fool, do you think the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition is a good job?"

"I believe you have also heard of the strength of Ainz Ooal Gown's group, right?"

"The True Ancestor Vampire you encountered before was just one of them."

"If you were the Sorcerer Kingdom, what would be the fastest and most effective way to strike at the morale of the coalition?"

"Let me tell you, it's assassinating the commander! And facing Ainz Ooal Gown's methods, who in the Theocracy do you think can resist their assassination?"

Hearing Nigun's nonsense, the "Black Scripture" captain pondered for a while and finally didn't say anything more.

Because if they let those high priests of the Theocracy's Six Scriptures take such a dangerous position, those old guys who are afraid of death really might not be willing to take such a risk.

On the other side, after the conference of nations ended, Jircniv detained Shengzai, who was about to leave, and proposed a marriage contract.

Of course, the marriage object Jircniv proposed naturally couldn't be Shengzai, but the Kingdom's "Golden Princess," Renner.

According to the previous agreement, as long as they could successfully repel Ainz Ooal Gown and the Sorcerer Kingdom this time, the Baharuth Empire would become a vassal state of the Kingdom.

And he, the Empire's Emperor Jircniv, would become Duke Jircniv.

To avoid further erosion of power and to deepen the connection with the Kingdom, making the Kingdom more at ease with him, Jircniv thought for a long time and finally came up with the plan of marrying the Kingdom's Golden Princess.

Even if he became a vassal state of the Kingdom, a powerful Duke with the right to govern a Duchy marrying a Kingdom Princess was more than enough in terms of status.

The "Golden Princess" is famous for her intelligence and is indeed a suitable partner for giving birth to excellent offspring.

Of course, the main reason Jircniv chose the "Golden Princess" was because Princess Renner was Shengzai's sister.

Jircniv had heard rumors that although Shengzai and Princess Renner were not siblings, they had the best relationship in the Kingdom's royal family.

Now the Kingdom's Second Prince Zanac has become the new King, and Shengzai is the King of the demi-humans in the Demi-human Nation.

No one knows the cruelty of royal strife better than Jircniv.

Don't look at Zanac and Shengzai's brotherly affection now; once Zanac learns of the Demi-human Nation's strength, he will inevitably be vigilant and even wary.

And often, the cracks of distrust expand with suspicion.

Once the Kingdom and Shengzai fall out, his opportunity will come.

Relying on the identity of Shengzai's "brother-in-law," plus the relationship between Princess Renner and Prince Shengzai, he stands on Shengzai's side against the Kingdom, and Shengzai helps him restore the Empire's independence—this is perfectly fine, right?

What? You ask why not stand on Zanac's side, after all, he is the legitimate one.

That is naturally because Jircniv feels that Zanac is no match for Shengzai at all!

Personal strength, methods, strategy, and the forces under his command—what does the Kingdom and Zanac have to fight Shengzai?

Even if the Kingdom really falls out with Shengzai, he doesn't need Jircniv to take sides; Shengzai can crush them himself.

And he, Jircniv, just wants to lie down and win by relying on Princess Renner's relationship.

"You want to marry Renner?!"

Facing Jircniv's request, Shengzai was directly stunned, because such a development was something he hadn't expected at all.

"Is there anything inappropriate? Does Your Highness think I am not worthy of the 'Golden Princess'?"

"It's not that, it's mainly that this marriage contract depends on Renner's own wishes..."

That's what he said, but Shengzai felt that Jircniv probably had no chance, because if he remembered correctly, the yandere girl loved her guard Climb quite morbidly.

Although Jircniv has talent and looks, Renner just doesn't like his type...

At the same time, Shengzai couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Jircniv. He had heard about this guy trying to marry the Holy Queen before but being rejected.

Now he wants to marry Renner again, but he will probably fail again.

Now rejected by the Holy Queen of the Holy Kingdom, and then rejected by the Kingdom's "Golden Princess," Shengzai is very worried that this guy will have some bad rumors spread because of being rejected repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, actually, Renner's personality may not be suitable for you. With your conditions..."

Shengzai actually quite appreciates the Bloody Emperor, and the other party is also because of him, this little butterfly, that the Empire became the Kingdom's scapegoat.

Making people take the blame and now making them fall into a pit, Shengzai really couldn't bear it, so he was just about to persuade him.

But who knew that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jircniv: "Your Highness Shengzai, I understand what you mean."

"But as a member of the royal family, many times one's marriage cannot be decided by oneself."

"Love or something, I no longer hope for such things in this life. After all, everything I have has been dedicated to this country."

Jircniv thought Shengzai had seen through his intentions, so he persuaded him.

However, for Jircniv, who the marriage object is is irrelevant; what matters is that his marriage can bring benefits to the Empire.

Hearing Jircniv's firm tone, Shengzai's confused expression froze on his face, and finally he sighed slowly and chose to turn and leave.

Can't persuade him, really can't persuade him!

This guy can't think it through himself, what can he do?

On the Re-Estize Kingdom side, after Albedo, the representative of the Sorcerer Kingdom delegation, arrived at the Kingdom's capital, E-Rantel, Zanac held a banquet to welcome the other party to show respect for the Sorcerer Kingdom.

And at the banquet, the Kingdom nobles who had been suppressed by Zanac and Shengzai were also showing favor to Albedo as if they had found a second spring.

The reason for this is partly because Albedo herself is very beautiful.

On the other hand, it is also because of Albedo's status as a Prime Minister in the Sorcerer Kingdom.

The Kingdom nobles might not be very clear about what kind of country the Sorcerer Kingdom is, but the other party's strength is unquestionable.

After all, the Empire that was declared war upon has been panicked recently, and even seeking assistance from various nations everywhere.

This shows that the Baharuth Empire knows very well that with their own national strength, they cannot defeat the Sorcerer Kingdom.

Is the Baharuth Empire weak? Just kidding, the other party has been fighting their Kingdom for many years.

Kingdom equals Empire, and Sorcerer Kingdom is greater than Empire. By this calculation, isn't the Sorcerer Kingdom also stronger than their Kingdom.
