Marilyn's pupils shrank.
The young cocoon girl in the field was confused, only a beautiful woman with sea-blue hair had sparkling eyes and a slightly frowned brow.
Before Marilyn could gather her thoughts, Hestia spoke again, "What the Empire gives you is yours. You cannot take what the Empire doesn't give you. I hope Sister Lelang can understand some basic rules when interacting with this princess. This will be beneficial to our future cooperation."
Marilyn looked at the princess deeply and said softly, "Luwei, take everyone out first."
"!!!"
The pupils of the sea-blue-haired beauty trembled, and she looked at the princess with a look full of hatred.
The cocoon girls looked around, looking embarrassed.
Even a fool can understand such unspoken rules, but what attitude should they take?
Within the bond of the cocoon spirit, the cocoon women are absolutely loyal (to each other) - they are indeed partners, but they will not commit themselves to any woman outside the bond. Even sisters and mothers stick to this line.
The sisterhood believes in equal and shared love, and each marriage ceremony strengthens their bond. At the ceremony, a new member must receive unanimous approval from all members of the sisterhood to join. Beyond that, the only way to celebrate is to bring the lucky mate to the ceremony venue for sharing. Sisters influence each other through their long-lasting love, complementing each other's shortcomings until they reach perfection.
The only exception is the moth heir, to whom the sister mother is obliged to provide power, and if the bond members allow, the moth heir will be invited to become a temporary part of the team.
but!
The imperial princess!
not any!
The possibility of becoming a cocoon girl!
Well, if the princess is willing, they don't mind inviting His Highness to participate in a wedding ceremony and guarantee that the nobles of Tianlong will be served so well that they will be at a loss as to what to do.
But if the Celestial Dragons wanted to threaten their sister with certain conditions, then the meaning would be completely different.
Some of the cocoon girls watched Marilyn's expression, wanting to know her sister's attitude. If her sister invited the princess to participate in the ceremony, everyone would be happy.
But if the princess, an outsider, wants to use the unspoken rules to take advantage of her sister and mother, it would be a blasphemy and humiliation to the sisterhood!
"No way!" Chloe couldn't hold it in any longer and said righteously, "Your Highness, you are well aware of the rules of the sisterhood and know that Marilyn will never commit herself to you! If you really want to, then I will take the responsibility!"
For a moment, the sea-blue-haired beauty glared at Chloe fiercely, scaring Miss Hunter.
"You're such a mouthful! You brainless idiot!" The beauty mouthed a silent curse, and Chloe immediately lowered her head in grievance.
Marilyn waved her hand: "Alright, everyone, get out. Your Highness and I have something important to discuss."
"But, Marilyn—" The beautiful lady suddenly became furious.
"Do I look like I'm in trouble, or do you think Her Highness can hurt me?"
"That's not the problem..."
"Louvie!" Marilyn said with a slightly stronger tone.
"I see……"
After saying this, the beautiful lady Hai Lan glared at the princess resentfully and left the meeting room with the other cocoon girls.
Hestia said, "You should go out too, Clara."
“…” Clara was silent.
As for her duties, facing a dangerous secret cultivator, she should stay by the princess's side at all times to prevent the princess from being devoured by the cultivator in bed.
"Clara?"
"As ordered, Your Highness."
The Knight Commander finally retreated.
Although Chen Ming wanted to keep his mouth shut and not tell anyone anything, in the end, the princess's order was above all else.
"Okay, now it's just the two of us." Hestia looked at Marilyn leisurely and made a "please" gesture.
Marilyn raised her eyebrows.
Is this young dragon really so lustful?
"Since Your Highness is so kind, Marilyn is naturally happy to serve a body worth millions." The nun remained calm and asked, "But what does the three-word knot that Your Highness mentioned mean?"
"You've already traveled far enough on this path, and you're the sister-in-law of the sisterhood. Do I need to explain the Elders' Elephant Cult?" Hestia said calmly. "The Cocoon Mother has fallen into eternal rest, the Elder God has changed masters, and his position as Elder has been lost in the dust of history. You only possess one of the sacred artifacts of the Three-Word Knot. I needn't elaborate on the rest."
"Your Highness, do you have any clues about the other holy artifacts?"
"uh-huh."
Hestia smiled but said nothing.
Marilyn pursed her lips and smiled lightly, somewhat helplessly. "As a sister and mother, I certainly shouldn't condescend to outsiders. If Your Highness truly desires to indulge, I can hold a wedding ceremony and serve Your Highness together with the other sisters. How about that?"
"With over a dozen people against me alone, whether they're serving me or tormenting me, I can't say." Hestia said with the same smile, "I do have some self-awareness."
"Ugh."
Marilyn sighed softly, hooked her fingers to the collar of her dress, untied the gauze and dropped it, leaving only her close-fitting petticoat, which was plump, elegant and magnificent.
She leaned sideways on the princess's armrest and asked from an upward angle, "Should I kneel before Her Highness?"
"No thanks." Seeing the woman's submissive and servile demeanor, Hestia suddenly felt bored. "I'm here to discuss business. Who asked you to take off your clothes?"
"Hmm?" Marilyn was startled again, her brows twisted into a delicate knot. She put on her clothes and said softly, "So, Your Highness is teasing me?"
Hestia raised an eyebrow, "Ms. Leron, how old are you?"
"Seventy-four." Marilyn smiled. "Come to think of it, my grandfather's line has some Lorraine noble blood."
"..."
Hestia shrugged. No wonder she was so calm and composed. Perhaps the tricks she was playing had already been used against her by the old woman.
However, although she was in her seventies, Marilyn's complexion and mentality were at least fifty years younger than Mrs. Aynive.
The princess couldn't help but sigh that the nourishment of nightlife was indeed effective, and she thought that she would never let Viola follow in Aynive's footsteps.
"Then, Your Highness, regarding the Three-Character Knot..."
"The Cocoon Sisters will work for the empire. If they do a good job, I will naturally reward them generously." Hestia made a promise.
"Okay, then," Marilyn stopped joking. She put her clothes back on, sat up straight, and asked, "What does Your Highness wish us to do? While we understand the principles of the Empire, the Sisterhood also has certain boundaries that cannot be crossed. So if there is a conflict, I hope Your Highness can understand."
"I will sell Yunling, no, all the empire's lands directly under Fran, along with all the titles, and divide them up across the land."
"Hmm...huh?" Marilyn blinked her eyelashes. She suspected that she was deaf and didn't hear what the princess said.
"The feudal lords have autonomous authority, independent taxation, and independent internal affairs. As long as they ensure the agreed tribute and military obligations, the Empire will not interfere with anything that happens within the territory."
"what?"
Marilyn seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.
Your Divine Emperor took two hundred years to build up the destiny, and you want to give it all away in just two months?
Who is disloyal?
"This includes those secret cultivators hidden beneath the sea," Hestia added. "As long as they are willing to serve the Empire, the Empire will allow them to become royally appointed nobles and local leaders with absolute authority. Regardless of race, faith, or status, as long as they pay enough gold shields, the Empire will grant them corresponding rewards."
"!!!"
Even Marilyn had to be cautious about such a terrifying bomb, and her cautious attitude was completely different from before: "Your Highness, has the empire's military budget been stretched to this point?"
"This is not your business."
"Okay, then what does Your Highness need us to do?"
"I know the Cocoon Sisters have extensive connections within the Camarilla. If the Empire simply spreads the news, it would take at least several months to gain the trust of those secret practitioners. I'm not very patient," Hestia emphasized, tapping the table. "In three weeks, I'll host a grand banquet at Cloud Court Villa, inviting all the secret practitioners to join us in our glorious endeavor. If the villa is deserted, I'll be ashamed."
Marilyn understood. It seemed like they wanted her to be the snakehead, to lure the pigs!
A hint of worry welled up in her heart as she repeatedly weighed the pros and cons: "Will the Empire not invite all the secret cultivators and then wipe them out all at once?"
"Ok?"
"Sorry, I asked a stupid question."
"You are a wise person. You know what to do and what not to do. If the Cocoon Sisters are honest enough with the Empire, then you will also gain the Empire's equal friendship."
"I see."
Marilyn was shocked. Although she didn't understand what the princess wanted to do, this incident would undoubtedly turn Fran upside down.
Damn it, to put it nicely, you are selling official positions and titles, and you are the pillar of the empire's financial building. To put it bluntly, the empire is still gasping for breath on the operating table, and you have started to perform forensic identification!
After reaching a preliminary agreement, the two left the meeting room together.
The women outside the door immediately gathered around and asked worriedly, "Marillian, how are you? Are you okay? Do you want me to help you get some rest?"
He was afraid that his sister and mother would suffer in front of the evil dragon.
Only Chloe scratched her head: "So soon?"
"Snapped!"
The sea-blue-haired beauty slapped Miss Hunter on the head and dragged her out of the crowd by her hair.
"Hey, Luvy, what are you doing!"
"I make you faster, I make you faster, you make you-"
It quickly disappeared into the corridor, leaving no trace.
Volume 81: Caged Bird: . Lurking Shadow
The carriage drove out of the Umbrella Green Lingman area and headed north along the flat coastal road. After crossing the city dam and the bridge, we arrived at the elegant and beautiful pearl of Genting City, Leiding Island.
This place is connected to the river valley of the upper city, and is a glamorous world where French nobles and celebrities come and go, where literary masters show off their talents, beautiful ladies flaunt their beauty, and wealthy businessmen spend lavishly. It has an extraordinary status in the literary and artistic circles of Yunling Province.
"Your Highness, aren't we going back to the villa?" Viola looked at the bustling street scene and peeked in. The gentle afternoon sun illuminated the elegant pale blue mountains in the distance with charm.
"I'll make you two dresses," said Hestia.
"I?"
"has a problem?"
"But, but I have plenty of clothes to wear, and His Highness also gave me a few sets..."
