In the world of Moe King, I became the ruler of ice.

When Gransta saw Ramiris blink in response, he felt relieved. With her guarantee, things would become much simpler.

But given her personality, can she really understand her own...thoughts?

A sense of unease crept into Gransta's mind. After all, he knew how unreliable Ramilas was, and she had even tricked him a little once...

...

After the Ice Guard first bowed to Gransta with one hand placed in front of his chest, he led the still somewhat uneasy Long Xueqing and the others to the side.

Gransta and Elliott Salion were left alone, staring at each other in silence for a long time without saying a word.

After a long pause, Gransta, slightly embarrassed, finally broke the silence: "Your Majesty Salion, I didn't expect things to develop this way either. Actually..."

"so what?"

Elru Salion raised his handsome eyebrows, his thin lips parted slightly to interrupt Gransta's words, his expression seemed to have a hidden meaning, and his gaze shifted to the two ice sculptures beside him.

"Forehead..."

Gransta looked over and put his hand to his forehead. How could he have forgotten about these two elves? Of course, he understood what Elru Salion meant. He would also be unhappy if his subordinates were controlled by others.

After realizing what was happening, Gransta immediately lifted the frozen state from Victoria and Wicker.

After a snap of the fingers.

ka ka ka-

Ice shards shattered all over the floor, and Victoria and Wicker collapsed onto the ground, shivering violently as they hugged their arms.

"Finally... I'm free."

Gulansta awkwardly touched his nose. He hadn't expected his subordinates to capture Salion's men; it seemed somewhat unreasonable.

After finally recovering, Victoria ran over to her Queen teacher with a pitiful expression, as if she were a child trying to vent all the grievances she had suffered.

But as he passed Gransta, he immediately noticed those slightly narrowed eyes with a hint of danger in them, and swallowed back what he was about to say, his expression incredibly complex.

After composing herself for a long time, Victoria finally lowered her head in shame before the Queen and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I... I have failed in my duty as the Imperial Sword Saint. As your student, I..."

Just then, Wicker also came to Salion's side. Unlike Victoria, he did not seem dejected. Instead, he solemnly performed a royal salute to the Queen.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the First Magic Army of the Salion Empire, Vicker, reports to you."

Elru Salion's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded gently, signaling him to continue.

With Her Majesty's permission, Kerwell straightened his body.

"Your Majesty, I summoned the legions to rush here when the turmoil occurred in the palace, but..."

When Wicker said this, he immediately looked at Gransta, or more precisely, at what was behind Gransta.

"snort..."

Long Xueqing was still in a semi-dragon form, her dazzling golden hair fluttering in the wind. Her aloof face glanced coldly at them, and she even let out a soft snort.

As for Chloe, she was a little more timid, holding Ramiris tightly in her arms, hiding her entire body behind Lord Gransta.

Wicker withdrew his gaze and recounted everything he knew, including how he had been captured, before adding:

"Your Majesty, apart from one minor injury that rendered the Magic Legion incapacitated, there were no casualties, including civilians. Perhaps... the enemy is not targeting the Salian Empire..."

After reporting the situation to Her Majesty Queen Salion, Wicker breathed a sigh of relief, as he did not actually want to have a conflict with her.

It wasn't that he was cowardly, but rather that he was thinking more about the empire. After all, the other side had several ordinary demon kings, and apart from Her Majesty the Queen, probably no one present could handle them.

Not to mention that the man opposite, referred to as "Master," hasn't even made his full move yet; a powerhouse capable of commanding ordinary Demon Kings is at least an Awakened Demon King...

Elru Salion listened to Viker's report, his expression remaining unmoved, though the aura of royalty surrounding him had begun to subside somewhat.

Gransta glanced at Vicker with some surprise. Her words had at least lessened Salion's hostility towards them, and she made a slight note of this noble elf.

Elru Salion dismissed his two subordinates and returned to his gaze, then met Gransta's eyes again, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I'm curious about what you mean by negotiation."

Gulansta didn't waste any words, knowing he didn't have much time left and needed to deal with the matter as soon as possible.

"Queen Salion, we had no intention of targeting the Magic Dynasty. Now that I have achieved my goal, there is no reason for us to continue our hostility."

"As for all the losses caused by the Empire... just put them on my head."

Gulansta looked serious, as if he would accept whatever compensation was due.

"Oh? Compensation?"

Elru Salion finally reacted, looking at Gransta with displeasure.

"You think our empire is short of money? Shouldn't you give my wounded mage soldiers an explanation?"

Gransta knew, of course, that the Magic Dynasty was not short of money at all. Moreover, this empire possessed world-class elf and magic technology and was an extremely wealthy country.

This was exactly the reaction Salion wanted. If she really remained silent, Gransta wouldn't know how to continue the conversation. Making demands would have made things much simpler.

"Um... Your Majesty Salion, actually I've already considered all of this. What do you think of this?"

Gransta collected his thoughts and then took something out of the resource library.

Elru Salion looked over curiously and saw a delicate little bottle in Gransta's hand, the liquid inside emitting a beautiful color.

"This is?"

Elru Salion frowned slightly. She had just used the Elven Advanced Analysis spell, yet she only knew the basic effects of the small bottle, which seemed to have some special properties, but nothing else.

Even these basic effects were enough to surprise Salion.

Gransta didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "Your Majesty Salion, you should already know the effects of this [Magic Potion]. It should be more than enough to compensate your soldiers."

After careful consideration, Elru Salion realized that the effects of this [Magic Potion] were indeed extraordinary, capable of restoring both magic power and injuries.

However, she needed to verify it, so Salion called out softly:

"Victoria Victor"
