Chapter 4088: The Monarch Who Rules the Dragon-Embracing Kingdom: Emilyia!

Su Han loosened his arms, paused for a moment of thought, then looked at Luo Cuilian and Wugeng Liuli: "So, next we head to the World of Re: Zero—you have no objections, I assume?"

"I'm fine with anything."

Luo Cuilian spoke calmly and composedly.

"Of course I have no objections!"

Wugeng Liuli spoke seriously; though inwardly she felt a pang of envy, she was not childish enough to let such envy stir up a tantrum.

After all, Lei Mu and Lei Mu usually took great care of her.

Their relationship was quite good.

"By the way,"

Lei Mu suddenly spoke up cautiously, "Master, won't you be bringing Young Lady Zhao Linger this time?"

Su Han's eyebrows twitched; he sensed with his Observation Haki, "She's actually at home too... fine, I'll ask her."

It wasn't that Su Han cared little for Zhao Linger.

Mainly, compared to Black Cat Lei Mu and the others, Zhao Linger as the Main God was far busier.

Their chances to meet were also much rarer... so at moments like this, Su Han had unconsciously avoided disturbing her.

Lei Mu nodded and immediately offered to go call her.

Upon learning of Su Han's plans, Zhao Linger was naturally overjoyed and agreed to join.

Su Han purchased six Transcendence Talismans and activated the portal to the World of Re: Zero.

Instantly, a brilliant radiance enveloped everyone's bodies.

When the light faded, the entire group vanished.

...... In the World of Re: Zero, within the imperial hall of the Dragon-Embracing Kingdom.

Emilyia sat upon the highest throne, clad in imperial robes, her posture regal and dignified.

Upon her shoulder sat Puck.

Below her sat numerous high-ranking members of the Dragon-Embracing Kingdom's Sage Council, along with figures such as the Knights' Commander, each seated in positions reflecting their respective statuses.

"I believe our Dragon-Embracing Kingdom has now reached a level of strength and prosperity sufficient enough! In fact, if we wished right now... we could ignite a war sweeping across the entire world and become its masters."

The radical high-ranking members of the Sage Council clenched their fists, their faces flushed with excitement and fervor.

"Become the masters of the world."

After a brief silence, the Knights' Commander spoke with solemnity: "Elder, I do not endorse your proposal."

Our Dragon-Embracing Kingdom has maintained its transcendent status on the continent precisely because of the Dragon's protection."

"Later, with the aid of Her Majesty and her dear friend, we fully completed our production evolution! Even without waging external wars, we can still thrive exceedingly well."

"What do you know?"

Another council elder spoke, his voice low and hoarse: "Even if we can thrive well now, what of it? We could thrive even better! Gain more! The strong are meant to possess everything."

"Please, Commander! You are one of the Dragon-Embracing Kingdom's own—consider things from our kingdom's perspective... don't stand from the viewpoint of other nations."

That makes me think you're a traitor to our home!"

Puck gazed at the scene before him, arms crossed, murmuring softly: "How utterly absurd."

The Knights' Commander, representative of martial force and violence, opposes external warfare.

Yet a member of the political Sage Council, paradoxically, is an aggressive warmonger.

It's as if everything had been turned upside down.

But this is the peculiar structure formed under Emilyia's rule.

Originally, the Knights' status was far inferior to that of the Sage Council.

The reason they now sit and debate in this chamber is solely due to Emilyia's support.

Emilyia remained silent, lowering her gaze.

Yet, regardless of...

whether high-ranking Knights or high-ranking Sages, many eyes were fixed upon Emilyia's figure.

Constantly watching her attitude.

These people all knew well: though the two factions were loudly quarreling,

it was mainly because Emilyia had not yet voiced her opinion.

If this... Queen of the Dragon-Embracing Kingdom spoke,

the other side would instantly fall silent, for this... Queen held an unparalleled, supreme status within this kingdom.

She initiated reforms that caused the kingdom's power to surge rapidly, reaching the peak of the entire continent.

One could even say Emilyia's status within this kingdom surpassed even that of the Dragon itself... Many also knew Emilyia possessed incomparable strength herself; if she wished, she could single-handedly crush the entire world.

Of course, Emilyia was fundamentally extremely kind.

Indeed, the reason the Knights fiercely opposed war stemmed from Emilyia's own will... after all, the Knights were raised entirely by Emilyia and owed her absolute loyalty.

Though many in the Sage Council respected Emilyia, they were originally the nation's true rulers.

And since Emilyia lacked the heart to eradicate them, they freely voiced their opinions in meetings... though they knew she would never agree, what if they swayed her? That would be a massive win—after all, if war truly began... it would be an absolutely certain victory.

And if the Dragon-Embracing Kingdom truly ruled the entire continent, the power of these Sage Council elders would expand at an unimaginable speed.

"Your side's debate is quite fascinating."

A gentle voice suddenly sounded.

The entire chamber fell silent, for the voice was utterly unfamiliar.

The Knights' Commander immediately gripped the hilt of his sword, his expression stern and cold—then he saw Su Han and the others appear.

"That is—"

The Commander's pupils dilated sharply, then he slowly released his grip.

Su Han's appearance was simply too distinctive—he recognized him at a glance. The person before him should be one of that group who had once helped the Dragon Kingdom develop, and who was also Emilia's good friend.

"President!"

Emilia turned her head in some bewilderment, staring at Su Han. After looking him up and down, she glanced at Lei Mu, Lei Mu, the Black Cat Cult Lord, and the others behind Su Han, and the astonishment on her face grew... thicker.

After a pause, her lips moved slightly. "How did you all get here?"

"Why wouldn't we be able to come?"

Wugeng Liuli put on a very hurt expression. "Emilia, didn't you say last time that we were welcome to come anytime? Could it be that what you said was just polite talk? That really makes me so sad."

"It's not like that!"

Emilia hurriedly waved her hands.

"Miss Emilia, good day!"

Lei Mu and Lei Mu spoke almost at the same time, and in nearly the same tone, they lifted the hems of their skirts and gave Emilia a maid's curtsy.

"Didn't I already say last time? You are no longer my maids! There's no need to be so formal with me."
