In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

The maid seemed to be frightened and stood frozen in place, not daring to move.

Faced with the emperor's approach, she even forgot to salute.

But fortunately, thanks to the emperor's doting on his youngest sister, the maid was not scolded. She just sighed and shook her head in the man's distressed gaze.

"What happened today is really unavoidable. Little sister, you don't have to go back today. I will arrange for someone to find you a place to stay so you can rest and leave tomorrow afternoon."

Seeing the other person so scared, the man's words of comfort were stuck in his throat.

After a long time, he sighed softly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The white-haired maid beside her was also tense.

"Take her away first."

"Yes."

The maid didn't hesitate and agreed almost immediately. She bent down carefully and helped the girl beside her away tremblingly.

Maria also watched the two people go away, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Wait a moment……"

"Ok?"

Maria suddenly spoke, and everyone present was stunned.

But Maria said nothing, just walked slowly closer.

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, he slowly reached out and lifted up the faces of the two girls.

The cold face just looked at them quietly.

"Is there anything else?"

The maid stuttered, her whole body tensing up.

On the side, the white-haired girl was biting her lips, looking pitiful.

"elder sister……"

She murmured, her voice trembling.

"……nothing."

Maria was silent for a few moments, then frowned slightly and did not take any further action.

The two people who were given permission were surrounded by a large group of imperial guards and slowly left.

Soon, they arrived at the bedroom where they were assigned.

The guards beside him also had something to say.

But the girl just gritted her teeth, hugged the maid, and refused to let her leave no matter what.

The other palace maids were somewhat helpless, but they still gave the outsider a look, asking her to accompany the eldest princess well, and then turned a blind eye and let them enter the room together.

The eldest princess, who had just entered the room, loosened her hand and stood aside with a smile amid the maid's disgusted gaze.

"You're quite capable... You were able to actually hurt my brother. My third brother might not be very smart, but he's quite capable. You were actually able to hurt that guy."

The girl stretched and wiped away the fake tears from the corners of her eyes. She had a smiling face and didn't show any fear.

The white-haired maid beside her also gritted her teeth.

"You guy..."

"No~"

The girl smiled and danced lightly. He stretched out his finger and gently touched the girl's lips.

The smile on her face is so bright.

"Here, you need to call me the eldest princess~ My dear brother loves me the most. If you disrespect me, he might just replace you~"

"How long do you think you can live without me?"

The girl narrowed her eyes slightly.

Although she was smiling, Yin Hongying didn't feel any warmth.

Yes, there is only a coldness that penetrates deep into the bone marrow.

But the girl didn't care about the other person's changing expression, but raised her body and squinted her eyes slightly.

"But it's not like we didn't gain anything today."

"That female general... is indeed good-looking."

"And the one next to her..."

"Um……"

"Is the Zuo family related to them?"

~~~~~

314

Chapter 314 You are so beautiful.

"That girl is..."

Inside the hall, Maria watched the guards gradually disperse, then turned her head and looked at the crowd.

Besides Maria and Sui, those who remained here at this time included Zuo Zheng and the current Emperor of Yan.

"She's my sister."

The man shook his head and sighed, his words filled with helplessness and sadness.

Maria tilted her head.

"younger sister?"

"To be more precise, she is my blood sister."

Perhaps because there were no outsiders at the scene, the man did not hide anything.

As the Emperor of Great Yan, he naturally has many brothers and sisters.

Some of them were his right-hand men, such as Wei Sanzheng.

But there are also some...that need his care.

Since we are human beings, we are bound to have selfish desires.

The youngest sister Maria just saw was the one he favored the most.

There is no other reason.

Compared to others, this sister has the same father and mother as him.

The two people have the closest blood relationship.

and……

"When my younger sister was young, she unfortunately got lost while out and about. We searched for her for three days before finally finding her by the river. But she was so frightened that time that she became timid and timid, and her intelligence was slow to develop. Aside from a few of us brothers who were close to her, she wouldn't meet anyone... and now this has happened again."

As the man spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.

But such a sigh does not mean that he is just feeling helpless and melancholy.

But he was ready to fight back.

No matter who it was, no matter what the other party was coming for, this attack was a provocation to his authority!

No matter what, he must make the attacker pay the price!

"..."

Maria was silent for a few moments as she watched the man silently making up his mind.

Timid? Afraid? Not very intelligent?

Maria doesn't think so.

Although the girl disguised herself well, Maria was not a little doll that was only a few hundred years old.

She may not be able to understand what a person is thinking, but she can still tell whether a person has any thoughts or not.

Obviously, the man’s youngest sister is definitely not a simple character.

and……

The maid beside her...

Although her abilities were still very weak in Maria's opinion, her combat power was still much stronger than those of the warriors beside her...

and so……

Want to say it out loud?

In silence, Maria shook her head slightly.

She didn't say.

Her relationship with Dayan was not deep, and she did not have any special feelings for him. The current accident had nothing to do with her... If the man really died in the end, it might be good news for Maria.

At least, without the man's determination, the plan to seize the power of the giant beast might be terminated.

This is what she would like to see more.

After much thought, Maria finally said nothing.

"What are you going to do about this?"

"..."

"You should know that if you don't track down this kind of assassin right away, your chances of catching him later are slim... And from the looks of it, you don't seem to have any clues about his movements..."

Maria spoke slowly, her voice calm.

The man obviously understood this. After a few moments of silence, he let out a breath.

"The Shanhai Clan is incredibly audacious. After being thwarted, they actually dared to take the risk and cause trouble... Not long ago, someone tracked down the remaining Shanhai Clan's base camp..."

The man's voice was calm, but this meant that the group of forces called Shanhai would face a large-scale cleanup.

Maria also tilted her head.

"Are you going to put the blame on them?"

"Ah."

The man did not deny it.

As the emperor, he should not tell others too much of his true feelings.

But Maria is an exception.

The main thing is... he doesn't think the behemoths would be in the mood to care about these relationships in human society.

"It's impossible to cover this up... Or rather, the more we try to cover it up, the more likely it is to leak out, and then there will definitely be a lot of chaos out there."

"Instead of waiting until then, it would be better to take the initiative now and point the spearhead at those Shanhai people. That's also an option."

The man said, his eyes narrowed silently.

At this time, Maria also realized that the man seemed to care about the Shanhai people very much...

But...if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the problem.

Although she was given the title of general, Maria actually didn't have much to do.

So when I’m bored on weekdays, I try to read books from this era.

It was also from here that Maria discovered that the so-called Shanhai people were not something that suddenly emerged in this era.

In fact, in a sense, the history of Shanhaizhong may be longer than that of Yan State.

This group of people appeared since the ancient times when people worshipped giant beasts.

It’s just that at that time, humans had no way to deal with the existence of the giant beasts, so they could only kneel down in submission.

And those who first surrendered to the giant beast were given the names of priests, shamans, and wizards.
