Chapter 1418: Chapter 1418 Bei Luo’s Future

"I shall head to the battlefield first."

The guard entrusted with bringing Su Zengyu and Irina here spoke up and then promptly departed from the scene.

Where there should have been countless guests and a tight security presence, only three persons remained in the banquet hall.

Bei Luo Empire Queen Irina, Bei Luo Empire Regent King Blair, and Xia Country’s Su Chengyu.

"Brother Blair!"

Irina spoke up first, leaping down from Su Chengyu’s arm and rushing towards Blair.

The somewhat frail yet tall Bei Luo man rose from his high seat, patting Irina on the head: "Your Majesty, I apologize for the fright you experienced."

Irina shook her head: "I am fine, but Natasha, she..."

"I witnessed that sword strike. As your guard, she is our Bei Luo’s pride."

Even though Blair said this, Irina still hung her head low, engulfed in melancholy.

Blair offered no further comfort, aware that Irina’s presence here ultimately meant facing everything.

Lifting his gaze, Blair turned towards Su Chengyu: "Xia Citizen, why have you brought Irina back here? Do you truly not comprehend the risks involved?"

Blair, evidently quite dissatisfied with Su Chengyu for bringing Irina to the Thousand Tents Great Hall, questioned him with a tone tinged with anger.

Unsurprised by any of this, Su Chengyu calmly responded: "This was Her Majesty’s choice, and it could perhaps bring about the best outcome for Bei Luo."

"Possibly?"

Blair frowned, puzzled, looking towards Irina.

Irina slowly pulled out a necklace, and Blair paused before saying, "So indeed, the Empress Mother granted you the rights to use the Holy Artifact?"

Irina nodded with a hint of guilt: "I apologize, Mother told me not to disclose this to anyone, it was her last wish before she died."

Blair nodded: "I understand now. You did nothing wrong, and your choice is valiant, but still..."

Slowly lifting his head, Blair’s gaze fell intensely on Su Chengyu, filled with significant discontent.

He still couldn’t fathom why Xu Zijing would rely on a person like him.

"Your Royal Highness the Regent, I understand your dissatisfaction with my actions, but please at least respect Her Majesty’s own decision."

"She is still a child!"

Blair exclaimed somewhat heatedly.

Yet, Su Chengyu responded without a trace of agitation: "So, Your Highness, are you saying that you plan to die here and leave a chaotic Bei Luo Empire in the hands of a child? Is this your final stroke after over a decade of rule in Bei Luo?"

"I..."

Blair began to speak in his defense.

Su Chengyu continued coldly: "I admire Your Highness’s resolution to defend the Thousand Tents Palace, but since you intend to entrust Bei Luo entirely to Her Majesty, please don’t treat Her Majesty as a child. Otherwise, give up that notion of sacrificing yourself for the country."

Seeing the two tensing up, Irina first became anxious, but then, hearing Su Chengyu’s last words, suddenly looked up: "Blair, do you intend to fight to the death here?"

Blair looked down at Irina: "Your Majesty, this is the best choice for you."

"No, I won’t allow it! Natasha is already dead! You must not die, none of you must die!"

"Your Majesty..."

Blair slightly frowned, looking at his own sister, the only Bei Luo Queen in his heart, yet he could not bring himself to speak harshly.

At that moment, Su Chengyu spoke up, "Your Majesty, everyone will die someday, I will die, His Royal Highness Blair will die, and so will you. Death is not to be feared; what matters most is how we face our end."

"I don’t know, I don’t understand! Is it wrong for me to not want to see people die?"

Irina clearly refused to accept what Su Chengyu had said, covering her ears and speaking stubbornly.

Blair reached out and gently removed Irina’s hands, softly saying, "Your Majesty, you will surely be a gentle queen in the future, not like our mother..."

"Our mother is gone! Are you leaving me too?"

Irina spoke agitatedly, "How can you bear to leave me all alone, Blair!"

Blair gazed at Irina, lost in thought, unable to answer her question for a long time.

At this time, Su Chengyu had already walked beside the two, gently taking Irina’s hand, "Your Majesty, rest assured, His Royal Highness Blair is not the kind to disregard your words. As I said, considering he sees you as a child, he should not die here. Otherwise, Bei Luo will eventually fall into the hands of others."

Blair, keenly picking up on the implications in Su Chengyu’s words, looked at Su Chengyu with a colder gaze.

Su Chengyu blinked, ignoring the look, and continued to speak to Irina, "Time is pressing; we must leave now. Your Highness..."

"I know. The Solitary Confinement Room, right?"

Blair’s response surprised Irina.

Blair chuckled, "Although I didn’t know the key was in your possession, I’m still well aware of what’s in the Thousand Tents Palace, go ahead."

"Aren’t you coming, Blair?"

Irina looked at Blair and asked.

Blair shook his head and looked towards the battlefield outside, softly saying, "If I leave, who will lead them? The Xia Citizen is right; I shouldn’t die, at least not now."

With Blair’s final words, Irina finally sighed in relief, nodded, and said nothing more, following Su Chengyu as they left the Great Hall.

Blair raised his hand, and a shadow immediately appeared beside him; the shadow spoke softly, "Your Highness, does that person mean that if Her Majesty the Queen fails, Xia Country will take over?"

"Not exactly his words, but it’s a foregone conclusion; he’s just the first one bold enough to say it outright."

"Do we need to take action against him?"

"There’s no need."

Blair spoke calmly, "Those who speak directly are usually not ones to take such risks lightly. Right now, he certainly wouldn’t do something so reckless."

"But..."

"Don’t worry, he probably foresaw everything before coming here, and the desire to resolve the crisis at the Thousand Tents Palace must be genuine."

"Understood, I’ll follow closely to prevent any surprises from the rats that have infiltrated. But, Your Highness, you..."

"Don’t worry, I’ve promised Her Majesty The Queen; I won’t easily die here."

With Blair’s assurance, the shadow finally let go of its concerns and, without another word, vanished from the Great Hall.

Blair, looking at the empty hall and speaking solemnly to the Nether Clan outside, "Mother, I finally understand why you chose to ally with the Nether Clan back then. If I were in power, perhaps I would make the same choice; yet, today’s Bei Luo belongs to Irina, she is the future of Bei Luo."
