"These clothes offer absolutely no defense... Even though I don't need to fight, there will still be some chaos when we enter the city, right?" Suri looked at Talulah with a puzzled expression.

"I will protect your safety, don't worry."

"Of course I'm not worried about that, and I won't really die."

After all, Su Rui's current body is just a container. If the container breaks down before it expires, Su Rui will at most revert to his original form without a physical body, and he will not suffer any harm.

"Then it's settled."

Talulah smiled and nodded, then reached out and took Suri's hand:

"Let's go, let's give it a try first."

……

The moment to attack Ursus' capital was fast approaching; it was less of an attack and more of a procession.

Because there was almost no resistance, and the Emperor of Ursus even issued an order for Talulah to enter the palace and communicate with him.

"let's go."

Talulah, along with her team and Suri, arrived in the capital of Ursus and made their way to the palace.

"I thought we would have a tough offensive and defensive battle, but it turned out to be so simple."

"They've reached their limit, they have no reason to resist, why do you think that?"

Talulah looked at Suri, who was wearing a formal dress and awkwardly adjusting her clothes, with amusement.

"I thought someone would say something like, 'The capital is right behind us, we can't retreat even a step,' and I even prepared several attack plans for that. But now it seems that not everyone has such a firm will."

Suri said casually, even with a hint of disappointment, not noticing that Talulah's attention was no longer on what Suri was saying.

To Talulah, Suri's form-fitting dress was even a bit too sloppy, to the point that she didn't want others to see Suri like this.

So she took off her cloak and draped it over Suri's shoulders.

"Alright, let's go in."

"Row."

Suri nodded and casually tugged at Talulah's cloak. Although the overly tight-fitting clothes were warm, they still felt somewhat unwarm to the eye.

It was much better after putting on the cloak, and soon Talulah led the group to the palace gate.

The soldiers under her command lined up, but as Talulah had instructed, they did not charge in; instead, they waited there.

Suri stood beside Talulah and directly used telepathy to show her what was happening inside:

"There are hardly any guards inside; it seems they're just waiting for you... There are a few inner guards, but we also have some with us."

"Well, let's go. It seems the emperor also wants to make a dignified exit." Talulah nodded with a smile and led Suri into the palace.

Volume 2, Chapter 144: Above the Throne, There's a Place for You

At this moment, all the servants in the palace had been dismissed. According to the scan, apart from Emperor Ursus and his deputy Witt, who were waiting for Talulah and Suri deep inside the palace, only a few guards remained, hiding in the shadows and watching the situation.

"It's really quiet here."

Suri looked around the magnificent palace; it actually looked quite impressive now that it was empty.

Do you like this atmosphere?

Talulah looked at Suri beside her. Although Suri's tone and expression were calm at the moment, Talulah, who knew Suri very well, could easily see through Suri's thoughts.

"Indeed... I like this feeling of emptiness and desert."

Suri nodded, and Talulah, who was beside her, instinctively wanted to say something, but Suri gently nudged her:

"Alright. Stop saying you won't arrange servants anymore. I can't stay here forever. Besides, with such a big palace, there's bound to be a quiet place."

"Okay, let's go."

A hint of regret flashed in Talulah's eyes, but she didn't show it. Instead, she took the opportunity to hug Suri, wrap him in her cloak, and walk deeper into the palace.

They felt embarrassed when they were outside, but now that no one could notice them, Talulah naturally wanted to be a little more unrestrained.

And so, Suri and Talulah, close to each other, slowly approached the current emperor of Ursus.

"You've come, Duke Talulah, or rather, the immortal black serpent..."

The Emperor of Ursus sat on his throne, looking at Talulah standing below him with a complex expression.

Although his gaze was indeed drawn to Suri beside Talulah for a moment, he quickly snapped back to reality with a sense of crisis and looked at Talulah.

Talulah, who had been smiling, suddenly had a cold glint in her eyes, which sent a chill down his spine.

"Focus, the person you're talking to is me... Get down here."

Talulah raised her chin and arrogantly ordered the emperor above to come down.

"...At least, you should tell me what you really want to do. Ursus should not be dragged into the quagmire of war anymore. The internal strife you have brought has only made us weaker."

The Emperor of Ursus sighed and, as Talulah requested, stepped down from the throne. Talulah then took the opportunity to pull Suri onto the throne, allowing the white-haired, golden-eyed Drakian to sit on her lap.

"This is the prince you chose? How did you find such a male Drak?"

The emperor, who had lost his throne, looked at Suri, who was sitting on Talulah's lap and seemed somewhat absent-minded, and quickly looked away.

Although she was beautiful, Talulah seemed to want to kill him if he looked at her even once.

“This is my queen.” Talulah emphasized, saying nothing more about the matter, but simply staring intently at the emperor below with her grey-gold eyes:

"Moreover, you are wrong. My war will not weaken Ursus, nor will I wage war again. Under my leadership, Ursus will become stronger."

"What about the Nashio infected people? Was your previous Nashio decree just for show?"

“Talulah is certainly helping the Nashio Infected, and in places you don’t know, things are much better now… Your intelligence network is outdated; you don’t even know about Chernobog, do you?”

Suri frowned slightly in dissatisfaction and couldn't help but retort.

"Chernoborg? What happened to that city?"

"Chernoborg is now a city led by the infected, and their lives are certainly much better now. It's a pity that a certain emperor who thinks he's doing good deeds knows nothing about it."

Even the information he might have known in the first place has been blocked; this emperor is truly a failure.

The emperor looked at Witte beside him with some suspicion, only to find that his deputy nodded:

"It is so, Your Majesty. One of the conditions on which those nobles provided support was that I conceal this information from you."

“Witt, you… never mind.”

The emperor became even more skeptical of life.

However, he made a decision because of this: "In that case, I will give way to you."

If you don't step down, does this position still belong to you? Even if I beat you to death, this position still belongs to Talulah.

Suri instinctively wanted to say something, but Talulah stuck her finger into his mouth and pressed it against Suri's tongue.

"Waaah~"

"Alright, Su Rui, let's leave this emperor with some dignity. He's not a bad fellow... Arranging for him to live in a small place until he dies would also be a good thing for my reputation."

Suri nodded, then bit Talulah's finger with some dissatisfaction.

Talulah, who had been bitten, didn't care. She simply pulled her finger out and then, in front of Suri, put the finger into her own mouth.

"...Do you really have to do this? You've done so many more intimate things."

Suri glanced somewhat embarrassedly at the Emperor and Witt beside her. If no one else were present, Suri wouldn't have cared about this matter.

Talulah then turned her gaze to the emperor below: "In that case, I'll leave the announcement to you. Also, announce my wedding to Suri today, so the people of Ursus can have a good celebration."

Suri looked at Talulah with some confusion: "Should I prepare for the celebration?"

"No need, you can just sit here."

Talulah deliberately lifted her leg, causing Suri, who was sitting on her lap, to lose her balance and reach out to grab her assistant next to her.

“I don’t think you really like performing in public, right? Let’s invite some close friends to our wedding.”

Judging from Talulah's intentions, she probably only plans to invite Winter's bodyguards and Alina. As for Chen and Talulah's mother, there's probably no chance of them being invited, since Talulah is having her wedding today.

"Do you want me to record this and send it to Chen and your mother?"

"Of course, I'll call them later~"

As Talulah spoke, she casually took off Suri's cloak and tossed it aside.

"Now, let me see how you're developing!"

"My development is already complete, why should I make excuses?"

While being pinned down on the throne by Talulah, Suri didn't forget to make arrangements for the soldiers outside, and then temporarily let her personal guards, such as Early Dew and Winter, find a place to rest.

However, Talulah could no longer contain herself and took action directly from the throne, leaving Suri somewhat helpless:

"Don't tear the dress Alina made!"

"Don't worry, this dress was specially prepared for Alina."

"So you really are a foolish emperor, starting to make fun of yourself now, huh?"

"After all, you are in my arms."

Volume 2, Chapter 145: Sitting on the throne, so tiring.

It wasn't until evening that the so-called "wedding," which had already been announced, finally came to an end... Yes, Talulah didn't intend to share this moment with anyone else.

Even with her own sister and mother, Talulah only symbolically recorded a video and had Suri send it to her.

Of course, part of the reason is that most of the details of a wedding are not suitable for approval or sharing with family.

"Should I call them in? If it's a party, we can just have a simple meal."

Suri leaned back on the throne, but he had no mind to think about the throne's feelings or the so-called beauty of power, because he was so tired, even though it was fun.

Suri doesn't even have the strength to eat anymore.

Talulah nestled happily in Suri's arms, gently nuzzling her cheek against Suri's and saying:

“Sure, if you don’t mind them seeing you like this… then of course I have no objection.”

"Of course you have no objections. Don't think I don't know what you've been up to behind the scenes. You've already handed them over."

Suri slapped Talulah in an annoyed tone, then looked at the shadows surrounding the throne:

"Stop hiding, I saw you a long time ago."

As Suri spoke, Winter, Summer, Dew, Gummy, Truth, and Alina, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly emerged.

The girls exchanged puzzled glances, and Alina asked directly, "Was our stealth too obvious? We didn't make a sound at all, how did Suri find us?"

Because my scanning field of vision had already detected you, and I already knew about Talulah's plan when she was considering it.

Suri rolled her eyes in annoyance, then glanced at Talulah, who was still lying in her arms:

"I don't want to move right now. Shall we eat something first and then go back to rest?"

"That won't do. I went through a lot of trouble to plan this out. You need to learn to face things happily no matter what happens."

"The Black Snake has had a bit too much influence on you."

Suri reached out and pinched Talulah's cheek tightly, somewhat annoyed, but at that moment, the other girls had already come to Suri's side.

"See you tomorrow. Oh, and there's a televised address tomorrow, so you should be prepared."

Talulah gave Suri a playful smile, then left amidst Suri's somewhat annoyed gaze.

"Prepare my ass! I might not even be able to get up tomorrow, what am I supposed to prepare?"

Suri reached out to the candle Talulah, but was stopped by the girls around her.

This is a rare opportunity, and Zao Lu and the others don't want to give it up.

So, Suri didn't get a good night's sleep all night...

The next morning, Talulah woke up as usual according to her biological clock, but did not see Suri beside her.

Following her memories from last night, Talulah arrived at the throne room, but didn't see Suri or the other girls. She was puzzled... "Could they have found a room to rest?"

Talulah had no desire to search for Suri's room piece by piece throughout the vast palace, so she simply asked Suri in her mind:
