"Reparations…"
Frey took a deep breath, tightening the King's cotton quilt wrapped around her.
Hmm, this cloak was indeed a bit thick.
"Having become your Family, I have no ability to resist you."
Frey acknowledged this defeat, "Instead of talking about reparations, wouldn't it be simpler to directly occupy the Tianyi Country?"
Even the Sky Queen herself had been subdued by Bai Luo.
Would it be difficult to conquer the Tianyi Country again?
The simplest way was to have Frey return to the Tianyi Country.
In this way, the Tianyi Country would become a force remotely controlled by Bai Luo.
"No."
Bai Luo said, "Currently, I cannot yet contend with the True Demon Lord, nor do I want to be exposed to the Western nations and the Empire."
Of course, Bai Luo had the confidence to not fear threats.
Why did he want Artoria to unleash the Star Holy Sword?
The battle with Frey was destined to be undisguised.
Instead of passively accepting investigations, it was better to openly step onto the stage.
The Golden Tree constructed by the Star Holy Sword had power comparable to a Unique Skill.
Bai Luo used this to tell all those who coveted that he held a power that could make any force hesitate.
No matter who wanted to covet, they would have to face the judgment of the Star Holy Sword!
"Once I control the Tianyi Country, the land of the Jura Great Forest, plus the territory of the Tianyi Country."
"Such a vast territory would be too conspicuous."
Therefore, Bai Luo would not take down the Tianyi Country now, and likely not in the future either.
Instead of managing such a large country himself, Bai Luo preferred Frey to continue serving as the Queen of the Tianyi Country.
After all, a queen, or something similar, really hit Bai Luo's XP.
"My subjects are all monsters I personally named."
"The demi-humans and humans of the Tianyi Country have nothing to do with me, and I don't plan to manage them."
To put it unpleasantly, what right did those demi-humans and humans have to receive blessings from Bai Luo?
Why should he bother himself with the daily lives of tens of millions of people?
Was he bored?
Instead of being an emperor who personally handled everything, Bai Luo preferred his current life.
"You, are you willing to let me go back?"
"Not let go, but dispatch."
Bai Luo said, "From the moment you became my Family, we were bound together."
"Tsk!"
Frey: "You forced this upon me, yet you speak so grandiosely. You are truly despicable!"
"This is the price for you arbitrarily becoming my enemy!"
Bai Luo: "Don't tell me you don't acknowledge it."
"…"
The defeated must be prepared to pay the price.
In the world of monsters, it's survival of the fittest.
If you don't want to be killed, you naturally have to pay the price.
Fortunately, Bai Luo's conditions were acceptable to Frey: "I will be a good puppet queen."
"It's not that extreme."
"The fact that you are my Family is strictly private; I won't tell anyone else besides my other Families."
"Furthermore…"
Bai Luo smiled, "You must have felt it, right? That brand new power?"
"How did you do it?"
Frey knew what Bai Luo was referring to.
The magic essence that had grown to 990,000, yet remained stable.
The Unique Skill, Hunter.
And Magic Element Solidification, a skill that Frey found inconceivable.
To be honest, Frey found Bai Luo increasingly unfathomable, only feeling that he was incredibly mysterious.
His origin.
Where he found such powerful Families as Artoria and Snow Empress.
All of this was continuously attracting Frey, making her want to investigate thoroughly.
"As my Family, I cannot show favoritism."
Bai Luo raised his finger and gently tapped Frey's forehead.
"This!"
Instantly, Frey's pupils constricted, and she stood dumbfounded, shocked by the knowledge that appeared in her mind.
"Incredible!"
Frey finally understood the source of Bai Luo's power.
She also no longer resisted being defeated by him, or even submitting to him.
'Otherworld, traversing different universes, acquiring power systems from other worldviews, and then optimizing them in the Cardinal World…'
If it meant following such a person, Frey felt that this was not a disaster at all, but rather a stroke of good fortune.
"To date, I have explored four universes."
"But this is just the beginning."
"Follow me, and you will see a much vaster world!"
Bai Luo revealed his grand blueprint to Frey, making the Sky Queen realize the true potential of her future master.
"I understand."
Frey lowered her head and said earnestly, "From now on, I will be your helper. I only hope you will treat me and my fellow winged people well."
"Not including demi-humans and humans?"
"I also have my selfish motives."
Frey: "If I cannot even protect my own kind, what right do I have to hope for more?"
"Tsk, as expected of you."
"In any case, welcome to the fold, Queen Frey."
Bai Luo extended his hand to Frey and helped her up from the ground, "Soon you will understand what a correct choice it was to follow me."
In fact, she didn't need to wait; even now, Frey already felt it.
Having received her first benefit, Frey had considerable confidence in becoming a True Demon Lord.
The only problem was when Bai Luo would awaken as a Demon Lord.
The two of them didn't mention compensation again.
Since Frey had already submitted, Tianyi Country naturally became Bai Luo's private property, remotely controlled by him.
Since it was all his own, there was no need to exploit it too much.
"By the way, you should be able to prepare for the promotion ceremony now, right?"
Frey put forward her idea, suggesting, "How about Sorcery Dynasty? Their population definitely meets your needs!"
"You really are..."
Bai Luo didn't know how to complain about Frey anymore: "You adapted quickly enough."
"Otherwise?"
Frey was very pragmatic.
Especially after confirming that Bai Luo would not force her to do things she was unwilling to do.
Such as serving him in bed, or being humiliated, and so on.
As soon as she understood this, Frey immediately regained her composure as a queen.
As for the matter of Sorcery Dynasty...
Frey's original goal was to form an alliance with Bai Luo.
The current situation was merely a shift from seeking Bai Luo's cooperation to working for Bai Luo.
'What a pity.'
Frey thought to herself, 'If I had met him earlier, I might not have ended up like this.'
If she had known earlier that Bai Luo had such great potential, Frey would have definitely sought him out immediately to join forces with him.
Unfortunately, Frey discovered it too late.
Many unpleasant things had happened between them before, causing Frey to start one step lower than other subordinates.
