What exactly did I do today?!

[He personally brought the outsider who coveted the treasures of Sunwheel City to the Queen's palace, even promising to stand with him through thick and thin!]

【Oh, Yo-hime, oh, Yo-hime】

Is this what you call loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, and love for Sunwheel City?

Endless criticism surged up from the depths of his heart like a raging flood.

Although a hint of reluctance flashed in the eyes of the Queen of the Sun, who was deeply remorseful, she forcibly suppressed this emotion for the time being.

Because she knew that now was not the time to comfort or console the other person.

The first person to deal with is still this young Onmyoji from another land.

Instead of making excuses, directly admitting one's intentions is undoubtedly the right thing to do, and it's also the approach taken by many treasure hunters in the past.

However, compared to the previous visitors who came with ambitions, what truly made Himiko feel somewhat troubled, or rather, unable to fully grasp, was the other party's attitude at this moment.

He showed no joy at his promise, nor did he directly express greed for the treasure; rather, he possessed a calm and confident demeanor.

"Because if I had the power of these two divine artifacts, I might be able to help the residents of your land survive the first wave of calamity brought by divine punishment."

Ara ignored Yohime's state and calmly responded to the Sun Queen's gaze.

【Time Melody】, freezing time.

【Cloud Mirror】, distorts space.

These are undoubtedly two powerful forces capable of directly confronting Takamagahara.

Upon hearing this, both Himiko and Yohime showed a peculiar ripple in their eyes.

However, the difference lies in the fact that the former is moved, while the latter is angry.

"That's enough,"

"The lies you've woven!"

Yao-hime's sudden outburst interrupted the words that the Sun Queen was hastily crafting and about to utter.

Similarly, such confrontational and indignant words naturally made it impossible for Huang to continue negotiating or arguing with the Queen in his field of vision.

He sighed inwardly, then turned to look at his collaborator—no, perhaps now his critic—and calmly accepted the anger and indignation in his eyes.

The tranquility seen through the eyes of the Onmyoji touched Yao Ji's heart to some extent.

However, the fantasies that had previously arisen in my mind resurfaced wildly at this moment.

"Putting aside all other superfluous factors, is your ultimate goal in coming to Sunwheel City to obtain the [Time Melody] or the [Cloud Mirror]?"

She stared intently at Huang Du's exposed left eye, her expression filled with sorrow and indignation as she questioned him.

This is the most important point in the whole incident.

This is also a point that the other party didn't directly answer earlier!

How could someone as intelligent as her easily ignore the enormous shady dealings involved here?

but,

To be fair, what Yao Ji desperately wanted to hear from the former was a firm denial.

So, he was able to suppress all his previous delusions and was still willing to believe everything the other party said!

They will still regard it as the last glimmer of hope they have obtained through their devout prayers.

Can.........

"Yes."

"Afterwards, I need to use your [Cloud Mirror] to do a few things."

I'm sorry I didn't tell you this purpose beforehand.

Huang's voice remained calm, and he did not deviate from the questioning gaze of the former, because that was the true purpose of his arrival.

"So, you're just using me."

Upon receiving the reply, Yao Ji's eyes suddenly darkened, and her tone gradually became cold and resistant.

For a moment, she felt how ridiculous she was.

"use?"

"In my view, this is an equivalent exchange."

"To do everything possible to prevent the damage caused by the disaster, and in turn to receive the reward we deserve."

Although I felt apologetic towards the former.

But Huang didn't think he had done anything wrong.

The real problem lies with Queen Himiko, who is awaiting her wedding.

He clearly had some suspicions and fears about what he was doing, but he still chose not to be honest for the sake of his love.

Especially when it comes to her most beloved minister.

Please stop lying to me, okay?

However, Yao-hime did not understand at all upon hearing this explanation.

"Curse?"

"plague?"

"Endless cycle of reincarnation?"

"Aren't all of these illusions and hints you cast on me to achieve your own goals?"

"Through your tightly closed left pupil!!"

The emotional turmoil caused his voice to gradually become somewhat hysterical.

"How long are you going to keep toying with me?"

The final question was tinged with a hint of tears.

She,

But when you make the highest promise to a complete stranger, all you get in return is deception and fraud.

How could she easily let it go?

"The left eye?"

"Actually, this is..."

Huang listened attentively to the former's emotional outpouring, without refuting or even considering doing so. The only reiteration he made was that the left eye mentioned by the other party was not closed due to the illusion technique, but because it was his last trump card when he reached the end of his road.

Such a trump card should not be revealed to others directly.

However, seeing the woman in front of him in such a state, he inexplicably wanted to uncover her.

"enough,"

"Please stop doing things that harm Yao-hime, you Onmyoji from another land."

Seeing her minister's emotional breakdown, Queen Himiko decisively stopped Ara from giving any explanation.

She truly didn't want to see Yao Ji get hurt again.

"If you would like to borrow the Cloud Mirror, you can."

"But we must wait until this matter is settled, and then I will listen carefully to your request and decide how to lend you this treasure."

"As for what you said about using [Time Melody] and [Cloud Mirror] to save Sunwheel City."

“Even if Sunwheel City is attacked by outsiders someday in the future, I will use these two artifacts to protect the city and my people. You don’t need to worry about it.”

"After all, do you think you're better able to utilize the power of these two objects than I am?"

The Sun Wheel Queen continued to add.

Furthermore, the final rhetorical question not only overturned all the issues raised by Ara, but also caused Yohime's trust in this foreign Onmyoji to plummet to rock bottom.

Yes, in this world, who understands and can control the power of [Time Melody] and [Cloud Mirror] better than Her Majesty the Queen?

Therefore, the former's claim that these two treasures could be used to ward off disasters is completely unfounded!

If even Her Majesty the Queen cannot do it, then how could he, who was the first to come into contact with these two objects, possibly do it?

Yao Ji clenched her fists, not retaliating, but her whole body was trembling slightly.

"Since Your Majesty has said so..."

"Then I will respectfully obey your command."

Noticing Yohime's dejected and regretful appearance, Ara realized that there was no point in continuing to argue, so he chose to comply.

"However, I hope to stay here for the time being until I obtain the [Cloud Mirror], since coming here is quite troublesome."

At the same time, he also put forward his own conditions.

Such a condition, when heard by Yao Ji, was tantamount to admitting all her previous actions, which caused a clear bloodstain to seep from her tightly clenched lower lip.

"Can,"

"However, for the sake of the stability of Sunwheel City, I need to temporarily banish you."

"It won't be long; the restrictions will be lifted in three days."

Looking into the Onmyoji's calm right eye, Himiko still chose to agree, and as she spoke, a mirror containing immense energy appeared in her palm.

This is no ordinary mirror, not only because it floats in mid-air above the Queen's palm, but also because one side of this double-sided mirror is as pure white as a lotus flower, and the other side is as black as an abyss.

Undoubtedly, it is one of the secret treasures of Sunwheel City: the Cloud Mirror, capable of reversing space!

Chapter 620 My Yao Princess, the New Queen of Sunwheel City.

Three-day lockdown

If you calculate the time, it was exactly the day after Himiko's wedding.

Clearly, this Sun Queen was worried that she might cause some trouble during these two crucial days.
