Chapter 2401: Revealed
“Are they guaranteed to be from the Ocean races just because they wore the clothes of Ocean race guards? Can you really not tell that they were trying to frame us to ruin our relationship with the monsters?” The Mermaid Queen’s thoughts moved really quickly. Judging from what the Peacock Princess said, the monsters’ side had clearly already seen through her identity, so why hadn’t they publicly announced it yet?
Suddenly, her expression changed. Could it be that they were doing this on purpose so they could use it as a pretext to blame the Ocean races?
The Dragon King said with a bitter smile, “That was what I explained to them too, but this matter happened in the Dragon Palace, and it just happened to be an assassination after the monster emissaries were completely drunk from the feast. The suspicion that puts on the Ocean races is just too great.”
The Mermaid Queen frowned slightly. “Since those monsters aren’t being reasonable, why must we fear them? You should just ally with the Fiend races’ side already.”
“We were the ones in the wrong this time, though. Many of the Ocean races’ clan leaders want me to look into the truth.” The Dragon King deliberately paused for a moment after speaking.
The Mermaid Queen’s heart sank. It seemed that most of the Ocean races leaned toward surrendering to the monsters after all.
What a group of short-sighted people… Once the Fiend races are completely defeated, they’ll immediately turn on us.
She asked coldly, “Then why isn’t the Dragon King investigating this matter rather than running all the way here instead?”
The Dragon King gave her palace a look before replying, “The queen suggested that I ally with the Fiend races, but what if it was the Fiend races who had rapacious designs?”
