After the battle, Andy left with Oro, who was worth 500 million, while Queen Ella called the three remaining ministers and had them deal with the mess at the scene.
She also had them arrange tomorrow's national speech.
Furthermore, she took the initiative to send a protest to the World Government and publicized the matter as much as possible across the sea.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea brazenly attacked a king of an affiliated nation, and now a Marine Vice Admiral was also involved; she had to express strong dissatisfaction with this matter.
This was as far as she could go, because she couldn't defeat the World Government.
Moreover, if she didn't start scolding first and seize the advantageous public opinion, the Marine might bite back and say she cooperated with pirates.
After arranging these matters, she returned to her bedchamber, which had already been cleaned. She had everything belonging to Oro completely cleared out.
Now that the threat was removed, her parents and sister, who had been staying in the Ice Palace, could also come out.
The family returned to the long-lost ground, their hearts filled with mixed emotions: excitement, emotion, and most of all, resentment towards Oro.
"Where's that bastard Oro?" Queen Ella's father, Oliver, asked with a grim face, his voice full of anger.
Queen Ella's expression was calm, and she said lightly, "He was taken away by Andy. As for Oro's family, I had them all dealt with; not a single one was left alive."
Oliver pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Alright, you all go rest first. I've arranged everything. There's still a lot to deal with tomorrow," Queen Ella said, then beckoned the maids to come in and lead them away.
"Hmm, Ella, you should also rest early. Tomorrow, the burden of the entire kingdom will be on you," Queen Ella's mother, Sonia, said with a face full of concern.
"I understand," Queen Ella nodded.
"Um... Sister, where's Andy? Has he already left?" Allie asked, looking around curiously.
"He just finished a fight, so he's probably resting now. Go to sleep quickly; you, as a princess, will also have a lot to do tomorrow," Queen Ella said softly, reaching out to ruffle her sister's hair.
"Okay, I know!" Allie nodded vigorously.
Subsequently, the three of them, led by the maids, returned to where they used to live.
After arranging these matters, a hint of fatigue appeared on Queen Ella's face, but thinking that Oro was still alive, she walked towards the bedchamber.
Andy's temporary residence was arranged next to her room in the bedchamber. Upon reaching there, she saw Oro, who was still unconscious, thrown in the hall.
On the floor, Oro lay sprawled like a broken rag, his limbs twisted and disfigured.
Queen Ella stood before him, her ice-blue eyes like a glacial winter night, anger and disgust intertwining and surging, her cold gaze seemingly freezing the air.
She moved with light steps, her expression indifferent, her high heel precisely stepping on Oro's severed Achilles tendon wound, which was raw and bloody.
"Ah!" Oro suddenly twitched.
Excruciating pain, like a surging tide, instantly engulfed him. Veins bulged on his face, and a shrill howl broke through his throat, echoing in the empty palace.
"Hey! Ella, don't kill him!" Andy's voice came through the steaming water from the bathroom.
He was comfortably soaking in the bathtub, and hearing Oro's screams, he quickly shouted loudly.
"Don't worry, I won't let him die so easily," Queen Ella said without turning her head, her voice as cold as ice shards, every word laced with bone-chilling coldness.
"Wuwuwu... Ella, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have teamed up with Hanafza to attack you. Please let me go..." Oro's snot and tears flowed freely, his body trembling with fear and pain.
"Oro, I truly didn't expect you to be so vicious. Not only did you team up with a Shichibukai to attack me, but you also killed so many royals. I believe I never mistreated you, so why did you betray me!" A layer of frost covered Queen Ella's face, and her high heel slowly began to twist, grinding into Oro's wound.
"Ah!!!" Oro's scream rang out again, like a sharp knife, piercing the silent air.
"It's all because of you! Since childhood, you wouldn't even let me hold your hand, and after marriage, you still acted so high and mighty! I married you!" Oro roared, cold sweat streaming down his face from the pain, his eyes filled with madness and unwillingness.
Queen Ella's face turned ashen, the chill around her seeming to solidify, causing the surrounding air to tremble: "Just for this, you teamed up with a Shichibukai and killed so many companions you grew up with, so many families unwilling to submit to you?! But don't forget, everything you and your family have was given by me! If I hadn't given it, your family would never have risen!"
By now, Oro knew he had no chance of survival, so he no longer hid the malice in his heart.
He endured the excruciating pain, the muscles on his face twitching into a grotesque shape, and said viciously:
"They deserved it!
Let me tell you, the reason I was good to you back then was because of my family's instructions.
This country shouldn't be ruled by your Floran family!
And, I was indeed very interested in you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a cold light flashed in Queen Ella's eyes, and her long-suppressed anger instantly erupted. She kicked out heavily, and with a crisp "crack," Oro's leg bone snapped.
A shrill scream echoed once again throughout the bedchamber, like the wailing of a vengeful spirit, making one's hair stand on end.
In the bathtub, Andy listened to the continuous, shrill screams from outside, a chill running down his spine, and he secretly sighed: Women are truly terrifying.
Just then, the bathroom door opened, then closed, and the sound of high heels tapping on the floor came.
"Hey! Queen Ella, are you serious?!" Andy's body instantly sank into the water, then he turned to look at Queen Ella and said in shock.
"What, are you saying everything you said before was nonsense?" Queen Ella's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile. She elegantly bent down, her fingers gently hooked the heel of her high heel, took off the shoe, and tossed it aside.
She moved with light steps, each step causing her slender waist to twist like a willow branch in the wind. Her status as a Queen exuded an irresistible charm as she slowly walked in front of Andy.
She looked down at him.
Her ice-blue eyes gazed at Andy with an innate majesty and undisguised contempt.
"Damn! Queen Ella, how dare you provoke me like this! I'm an adult!" Andy couldn't help himself when he saw Queen Ella's contemptuous gaze.
"Hmph! Provoking you and..."
Queen Ella's words faded away before she could finish.
————
Listening to the curses from outside, Queen Ella felt an unprecedented thrill.
She had already put her high heels back on.
She had made up her mind to conquer Andy today. To that end, she even displayed her Devil Fruit ability at times, making Andy fully aware of Queen Ella's formidable strength.
One must know that she was a Zoan-type, Dog-Dog Fruit, Ancient Species, Aurora Snow Fox form ability user!
However, Andy's current strength was not bad either.
Not long after.
Queen Ella began to curse with a face full of shame and indignation.
"Bastard!" Queen Ella suddenly let out a weak, tender cry, her voice full of anger and humiliation, "I am a Queen! How dare you humiliate me like this!!! Ah!!!"
Yet, amidst her curses,
There was a faint, unmistakable tremor, whether from anger or that strange thrill...
