The soft little female makes the beast husbands lose control and fall
Chapter 226 If we're going, let's go together.
Chapter 226. If we're going, let's go together.
Three words, yet they carry immense weight.
Slowly, with great difficulty, he lowered his proud head, which he had never bowed to anyone before, slightly towards Su Yaoyao.
"I swear in the name of the Winged King, Lan Yi Garuda, that I accept all your conditions. Please... come with me to the Winged Clan as an ally and save my people." The last few words were almost squeezed out from the depths of his throat, with a barely perceptible tremor and... pleading.
At this moment, he was not a conqueror, but a king who was forced to compromise for the future of his people, yet saw the true dawn in that compromise.
Su Yaoyao looked at his bowed head, feeling no pleasure, only a heavy sense of responsibility settling in her heart. She reached out and gently helped him up: "Please rise, Prince Yi. Now that we have reached an agreement, we are allies. I will keep my promise and do my best."
Garuda straightened up, looking at her with a complex expression, before finally letting out a long sigh: "...Thank you. The fleet will temporarily withdraw from orbit, and tomorrow...I will welcome our ally with due courtesy."
After saying this, he gave Su Yaoyao a deep look, turned around, and transformed into a blur, disappearing into the deepening night. He came silently, but left behind a completely altered landscape.
Only Su Yaoyao remained on the terrace, along with the faint sounds of commotion coming from the distant castle.
She took a deep breath of the cool night air and turned to walk towards the stairs—she knew that the next "negotiation" she would face might not be any easier than the one with Lan Yi.
When she returned to the warm inner hall of the castle, she found all the beastmen gathered there, clearly having been waiting for her.
Augustine's face was tense, Lucia's eyes were full of worry, Mingye seemed thoughtful, while Rig, Noah, Bai Leon and Pani looked anxious.
"Yao Yao! He's gone? What did you talk about?" Augustine was the first to step forward and asked anxiously.
Su Yaoyao looked at her husbands and calmly recounted the agreement she had reached with Lan Yi Garuda—to voluntarily go to the Winged Clan as an ally, along with three conditions.
As soon as he finished speaking, the inner hall fell silent, then erupted in incredulous gasps.
"What?! You're going to the Winged Clan?!" "Voluntarily? Yao Yao, that's too dangerous!" "Even if he agrees to the conditions, who knows if it's just a delaying tactic!" "No way! I absolutely refuse!"
Augustine was even more emotional, grabbing Su Yaoyao's shoulder, his wine-red eyes filled with shock and lingering fear:
"Yao Yao! Do you know what you're saying? That's the Winged Clan's lair! Lan Yi Garuda is a fickle man, how can you trust him?! No! Absolutely not!"
Faced with her husbands' fierce opposition, Su Yaoyao did not back down. She looked back at Augustine with unwavering determination, and then swept her gaze over the crowd:
“I know it’s dangerous, but it’s the best way to protect our interests and the most likely way to truly help the Winged Race. Passive waiting or aggressive confrontation could both trigger a war, and... I really can’t ignore the Winged Race’s cries for help.”
She softened her tone and began to make arrangements: "So, we need to discuss who will accompany me. Augustine, you are His Majesty, the Empire needs you to be there, you cannot leave."
Augustine immediately retorted, "What Your Majesty! What use is this throne to me without you?! I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yaoyao turned her gaze to the tall and composed white lion orc: "Bai Leon, you hold the power of the empire's military. An army cannot be without a commander. You also need to stay..."
"Yao Yao!" Bai Leang interrupted her, his usually calm voice now filled with urgency, "Military power can be temporarily transferred! Your safety is far more important than this! I absolutely cannot let you go to that kind of place alone!"
Su Yaoyao looked at them, a warm feeling welling up inside her, but she still tried to persuade them: "I know you're worried, but the Empire..."
"No buts!"
This time, Augustine and Leon Bai interrupted her in unison, stepping forward with unusually firm expressions. Augustine gripped her hand tightly, his tone more serious than ever before: "Yao Yao, listen. Either none of us go, or we all must go with you! The affairs of the Empire can be temporarily entrusted to the Grand Master of the Royal Holy Knights of Roland! He is loyal, reliable, and capable enough to handle daily administrative matters."
Military affairs can also be temporarily handled by the commander, with Bai Leon directing remotely. Nothing is more important than us all being together!
“That’s right!” Rig jumped up in agreement. “We’ll go protect Yao Yao together!”
Noah hugged Su Yaoyao's arm tightly: "Wherever you go, I'll go!"
Mingye calmly analyzed: "Strategically speaking, having everyone go together can indeed provide maximum mutual support and demonstrate our unity and strength to the Winged Clan, making them hesitant to act rashly. Commander Roland's abilities are trustworthy."
Lucia nodded gently but firmly: "Yao Yao, we are a family, and we should face this together."
Pani also firmly stated, "I want to go too! I can take care of Yao Yao's health!"
Looking at her husbands, who were resolute and united in their hatred of the enemy, Su Yaoyao's eyes welled up with tears.
Her original plans were completely disrupted, but her heart was filled with immense warmth and a sense of security.
She took a deep breath, finally giving up her insistence, and revealed a tearful smile: "Okay... let's do it together."
Seeing this, Augustine finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to Rig and said:
"Reg, make the arrangements immediately! Notify Commander Roland to grant him temporary regency authority to handle all imperial affairs. In case of any unresolved matters, contact him through the encrypted channel!"
"Bai Leon, you arrange the handover of military duties and remote command matters! Everyone else, prepare your packs immediately; we're leaving tomorrow!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison and immediately sprang into action.
What could have been a night filled with arguments and unease became filled with unwavering strength because of the husbands' unconditional support and their determination to stand together.
Su Yaoyao knew that the road ahead was still unknown, but as long as they were by her side, she had nothing to fear.
On the tenth day, when the sun shone on the castle again, the atmosphere was completely different.
A sleek, ceremonial ship, adorned with the winged tribe's insignia but devoid of any military bearing, slowly descended into the square in front of the castle.
Lan Yi Garuda, dressed in a grand Wing King's robe, stood by the gangway with a team of equally impeccably dressed guards who had concealed all their sharpness.
Augustine, Lucia, and the other beastmen stood behind Su Yaoyao, watching this scene. They remained vigilant, but their hostility had diminished considerably.
Su Yaoyao, dressed in a moon-white dress symbolizing peace and life, walked towards Lan Yi.
"Allies, please board the ship." Lan Yi gestured an invitation, his tone more formal and respectful than ever before.
