85: Eternal Remnant, Star Key Unlocked (2)

......

Magic Association.

Council Hall.

The Archmagess present were discussing how to handle the city gate massacre.

"I said it long ago, waking the Queen based solely on a prophecy this time was absolutely a wrong decision."

"The Magic Association is no longer the Magic Association of a thousand years ago. I believe we are now capable of handling all crises on the Eternal Continent!"

"You didn't listen when I said it back then, and what's the result now? Isn't this great?"

"The esteemed Moonshadow Queen was actually bewitched by a Hell Race member, appointing a Grand Councillor without the Council's approval, and even, as if mad, immediately bestowed a Marquis title upon that murderer."

"Does our Queen have any self-awareness as a Queen?!"

"And her daughter, Princess Isolde, is simply shameless, openly embracing that unknown ruffian in public, completely disgracing the Moon Shadow Kingdom in a matter of minutes!"

"I suggest..."

"Immediately recall all Star Princesses, completely seal off the Star Moon Palace, and force the Queen into slumber!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

many among the Archmagess showed expressions of approval.

They then looked towards the head seat.

The Chairman's seat was empty.

Vice Chairman Chrono stood up straight and said solemnly,

"The Chairman is unreachable in the special ruins, and I don't think we can come to a conclusion anytime soon, so why don't we vote...?"

Before he finished speaking,

the azure Blue Moon light outside the window instantly overshadowed the lights in the council hall.

"What?"

"Blue Moon's Radiance?"

All the Archmagess showed shocked expressions.

Chrono's eyes widened even more.

"Impossible!"

"How could the Queen awaken at this time?!"

Swish, swish, swish~

Everyone flashed to the window.

They looked up at the sky.

And then looked in the direction of the Star Moon Palace.

"That's right, it's indeed Blue Moon's Radiance. The Queen must have awakened!"

"Hiss~"

"When was the last recorded Blue Moon's Radiance?"

One question.

Almost stumped all these most learned Archmagess of the Moon Shadow Kingdom.

"This... I don't remember the exact time... It's probably been over a thousand years?"

"At least, if you really count, it's almost two thousand years, I estimate."

"Over the past thousand years, the Queen has been awakened three times in total. Although there were no major crises, the Queen never awakened."

"Why did she awaken this time?"

Everyone showed confused expressions.

"Speaking of which, does anyone know what conditions are required for the Queen to awaken?"

Everyone fell silent again.

"Perhaps the Chairman knows?"

"Not sure."

"The Star Moon Palace was not built by the Magic Association. In fact, it existed since the very beginning of the Moon Shadow Kingdom. It's very likely that even the Queen herself doesn't know the conditions for awakening, right?"

"Then what was it because of this time?"

"Star Glory Marquis?"

"Demon Lord!"

"A Hell's spokesperson, a demon, an executioner, a ruffian, a murderer, a wanted criminal?!"

Chrono's face was ashen, but in his heart, he was already cursing the Shadow Group to hell and back.

What kind of 'true shadow' nonsense, they dare to kill and can kill anyone!

A princess with no combat power, they tried to kill her for three years and couldn't.

This time they said something about inside and outside cooperation, foolproof!

And what was the result?

Didn't she still run back?

Useless!

They shouldn't have involved them in the first place; it would have been resolved earlier. Why wait until now, when even the Queen has awakened!

What is the awakened Queen's strength?

Chrono thought carefully, but he had no answer.

Because.

The Queen had never made a move.

No one even knew what her combat power was in the past.

Furthermore.

There was no record in the Magic Association of what the Queen's talent was after this awakening.

Because before.

No one cared about these things at all.

The Queen's task was never to fight, but to cultivate princesses, as they were the main source of combat power for the royal family to deal with crises.

However.

The Queen also kept the princesses' talents and combat power completely secret; this was a long-standing rule.

Throughout the kingdom.

From the Cabinet to the Council to the Magic Association, no one could possibly know.

In the records.

During the most recent Queen's awakening.

The Moon Queen once single-handedly slew five Great Demon Lords and even led her princesses to repel the three major Hell legions head-on with the Continental Allied Army.

With such achievements.

Her peak after awakening would definitely surpass that of a Saint, possessing full mythical-level combat power!

Perhaps even higher?

Of course.

These ancient records were not much different from myths, and their authenticity was almost zero.

But Chrono couldn't afford not to be cautious.

No~

Can't wait any longer.

Absolutely cannot let the Queen continue to grow.

"Everyone."

"The Queen's awakening from the very beginning was a mistake, so even if she awakens now, it is still a mistake."

"And think about it, the Queen didn't awaken early or late, but precisely after that Hell's spokesperson entered the palace?"

"Hehe... Can you really be sure that this awakening of the Queen has no influence from evil forces of Hell behind it?"

"If it's truly an awakening influenced by Hell, then is she still... our Queen?!"

A few words.

Immediately sent shivers down everyone's spines.

"Yes, if Hell truly intervened, then our Moon Shadow Kingdom might be disintegrated from within."

"Counting it up."

"This crisis originally showed no signs, but now, it's possible that the Queen, captured by Hell, might be the greatest source of crisis, right?"

"Shall we vote?"

"I suggest we at least seal off the Star Moon Palace first!"

"Agreed!"

.......

Star Moon Palace.

"Mother has awakened?"

Isolde, who was studying court etiquette, suddenly looked up, her eyes showing a thoughtful expression, hoping to get some information from her mother, but there was nothing.

"Yi Yi, don't rush. Mother is at a critical moment of awakening; we should not disturb her."

The voices of the other Star Princesses echoed in Isolde's mind.

"Yes."

"The kingdom's crisis is getting more and more serious, but those guys in the Magic Association act as if nothing is wrong. Mother is under a lot of pressure, everyone should be quiet."

"By the way, little Yi Yi, where is your Knight Brother?"

"He doesn't know court etiquette either, does he? Call him over to learn with us~"

"Yes, yes~"

"Sister, I haven't seen him yet!"

After much deliberation, Isolde finally shook her head:

"No!"

"Knight Brother needs to help Mother with state affairs, and he also has many things of his own..."

Regret.

The more Isolde thought about it, the more she regretted bringing Knight Brother back, knowing the kingdom was in such trouble.

The lines of crisisEntanglement around him were already numerous.

Now, with the addition of such a heavy burden from the kingdom.

Can he...

Can he still bear it?
