216 The Temperament Of A Queen, Su Wan Defuses The Situation
In the Dark Castle, in front of the throne, Su Wan had transformed into her Demonic Dragon form to defuse the situation.
“As the leader of the Dark Alliance, you will have to take charge of all matters relating to the Dark-Types and the Dark Demon Dragon.”
Su Wan made it clear that the Dark Enchanter was the leader.
She knew that everyone had inexplicable trust and faith in Xu Yuan. So, she mentioned him to make the heroes more loyal to each other.
The White Dragon Saint was the first to voice out that he had no objection to the decision. He clearly saw Su Wan’s Demonic Dragon form. As a Lord who shared the Dark Demon Dragon’s power, she must really be the spokesperson that the Dark Demon Dragon had specifically chosen. So, the White Dragon Saint listened attentively.
The Fallen Angel frowned. He knew that Su Wan was the Dark Demon Dragon’s Lord. However, he had never acknowledged her before. Lords were just passers-by in their lives as heroes. A hero and a Lord’s bond was temporary. The Lord would grow sick and die. Their lifespan simply wasn’t as long as the hero’s. So, he hadn’t given much thought to Su Wan… until now. When he saw her take the Demonic Dragon form, he was stunned. He understood that Su Wan wasn’t a simple hero, and the bond between Xu Yuan and Su Wan wasn’t that of an ordinary Lord and hero.
“If His Majesty doesn’t have an objection to it, I have no objection as well,” said the Fallen Angel.
Only the Red-Eyed Black Dragon and the Dark Enchanter were left to voice out their decision. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon also voiced no objection.
Everyone looked at the Dark Enchanter. She was the last one. Her decision would seal the deal.
The Dark Enchanter was not like other heroes. She had spent her entire life trying to make her own identity under the shadow of her father’s legacy. Yet she couldn’t shake off the fact that her father was the Dark Magician Marshal. She was the daughter of the previous emperor.
Myths and legends could always be questioned. Some believed in them and worshiped them. Others, not so much
There were some elders from the previous generation who were unwilling to follow a Dark Demon Dragon who had appeared out of nowhere. Still, others had only heard about such an existence and had never really seen it.
However, the Dark Enchanter was the daughter of their former leader. Leadership ran in her blood. They would be loyal to her because she symbolized the dynasty to which they once belonged. Only the strongest would ever dare oppose the Dark Enchanter.
“You…,” said the Dark Enchanter, looking at Su Wan. “If you are the spokesperson of the Dark Demon Dragon, does that mean I have to report to you for my message to be passed to His Majesty?”
For the Dark-Types, the Dark Demon Dragon was at the topmost level. It seemed Su Wan was second-in-command if she claimed to be his spokesperson. After that was the Dark Alliance.
As the leader of the Dark Alliance, the Dark Enchanter wanted to know if she should report to whoever was directly below in the hierarchy to the Dark Demon Dragon.
But Su Wan shook her head. “As much of an honor I consider that to be, I know my current ability. I cannot take on such a task. I can only suggest that the leader of the Dark Alliance and the other council heads report directly to the Dark Demon Dragon. As the Dark Demon Dragon’s representative, I can only act as an inspector to make sure the alliance is running smoothly.”
At this time, Su Wan displayed a queen’s temperament. She had defused the situation and taken control of the current scene to steer it in the right direction.
She was aware of her own limitations. She had no knowledge or experience to be able to advise and command the leader of the Dark Alliance. These heroes had lived for thousands of years. She was no match for them.
Therefore, she only suggested that she act as an inspector and represent the Dark Demon Dragon to inspect the Dark Alliance occasionally.
“Other council heads?” asked Lord Gadar suddenly. “I thought Her Highness Dark Enchanter Eve is the leader of the alliance.”
After Gadar learned about the Dark Enchanter’s identity, he referred to her as “Her Highness”. Her father was the Dark Magician Marshal, leader of the Dark-Types. He was, for all intents and purposes, the Dark Emperor, after all. So, it was only apt to call the Dark Enchanter “Her Highness”. She was practically a princess!
After Gadar raised the question, everyone looked at Su Wan.
“It’s simple,” said Su Wan. “The Four Heavenly Darkness of the King is the Dark Alliance for now. One of them is the leader, while the other three are her deputies.”
What Su Wan suggested was simple. The leader was the Dark Enchanter, while the other three would be council heads, responsible for different things.
After they heard Su Wan’s explanation, everyone turned to the Dark Enchanter. Her opinion as the new leader was very important. If she had another opinion, it would create a conflict between the new emperor and the past emperor. That would make the Dark-Types fight among themselves. Everything would fall apart.
Everyone was worried, but they didn’t have to be so on edge. Eve glanced at them. “Why the long faces? Do you think I can go against His Majesty’s will?”
She did not refute Su Wan’s suggestion. Su Wan claimed to be the Dark Demon Dragon’s representative, and the Dark Demon Dragon hadn’t questioned it. If they had a problem with Su Wan’s proposition, they would have to take it up with the Dark Demon Dragon himself.
Everyone was relieved when the Dark Enchanter was on board with Su Wan’s suggestion. They had been most afraid of the conflict between the Dark Enchanter, who represented the previous leader, and Xu Yuan, who was the supreme leader right now.
Everyone felt that Eve, as the daughter of the former leader of the Dark-Type, might not approve of Xu Yuan, even though she addressed him as “Your Majesty”.
Lord Lina raised a critical question. “But Eve, why are you so obedient to the Dark Demon Dragon?”
Lina knew her hero. The Dark Enchanter was proud and mighty. She was powerful. She often claimed that she could lead the entire Dark-Types single-handedly. Leadership was in her blood.
As a princess of the Dark-Types, it did not make sense why she was so obedient and devoted to a new leader that had appeared out of nowhere.
Lord Lina was puzzled. The other Lords, Bevin, Gadar, and Su Wan were confused as well.
