"Yes!"
"Wait." Catherine's voice was a little more gloomy, "Who slapped Lilith's face just now?"
Catherine's faint voice interrupted him, "3 days later, a military parade will be held, and it is planned to be broadcast to the entire Demon Realm through magic TV. Is the news I got yesterday the top secret information you mentioned?"
Florence smiled bitterly, "Don't mention it. That bastard … Sigh, anyway, Medelu has settled down now. Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's continue the topic just now."
"According to someone, this is like the straw that broke the camel's back." Kathleen's gaze trembled slightly, as if she had thought of something from "someone". "Al, there are two things. First, immediately mobilize all available funds to deal with this crisis; Second, investigate the detailed information of those long-term loan holders and the whereabouts of the funds. No matter what method you use, you must get through this! "
"Hmph! A mere imperial attendant dares to stop me from reporting urgent matters to Her Majesty? "
"Lilith …" Catherine's voice came from the hall. Lilith only felt that the oppressive momentum instantly collapsed, "Bring them in."
"What aspect do you think I need to consider carefully? For example … the candidate for the crown prince? "Catherine showed a contemptuous smile behind her veil.
"Before this rumor arose, there were many loans of huge amounts, and they were signed with long-term agreements. According to recent investigations, the banks of various estates seem to have this situation. I suspect … someone is deliberately manipulating it. "
Vikirsa escaped from death. He took a few steps back while trembling. He couldn't stand steadily, and he sat on the ground. There was no calmness and demeanor from before.
Catherine nodded slightly, "I have received an invitation written by Raizen."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Vikirsa's head was full of cold sweat, and he retreated hurriedly.
Vikirsa was shocked, "Your Majesty, it was just a misunderstanding just now …"
Soon, Finance Minister Al walked into the hall. Al was a thin and tall middle-aged man with a shrewd face, but his expression was a little panicked now, "Your Majesty, it's bad. Something happened to the bank!"
"Prince Vikirsa, Her Majesty is discussing important matters with Uncle Florence. No one is allowed to disturb them."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"No wonder you're Catherine the Great. You've already seen through my identity." Luo Jiefu's hand exuded a faint black aura, "With His Majesty's eyesight, you should be able to see that my dark energy has already corroded His Highness Prince Vikirsa's soul. With a single thought, his soul would dissipate. I just want to leave this place safely. Please let me live, Your Majesty. Otherwise, this prince will be buried with me. "
"It's like this. Originally, due to various reasons, the liquidity of the banks has begun to shrink. Recently, rumors have been spreading in every corner of the three empires, saying that the armistice agreement has expired and the three empires are about to start another war. Once the war starts, the currency will depreciate. At that time, food that can be bought with a white crystal coin might be bought with a black crystal coin. Although this rumor had gradually subsided due to the efforts of various places, it has suddenly exploded in the past few days. More and more people are withdrawing money. Since this morning, there have been long queues in front of every bank in the Imperial Capital. If this continues, the reserve of magic crystal coins in the banks will soon run out. Once there is no money to withdraw … "
"Let him in." Catherine was slightly shocked. For Aiur to call it an "emergency", it was definitely not an ordinary matter. Therefore, Lilith came to report directly after weighing the pros and cons.
"You're right." Catherine's tone suddenly changed, "You broke into the hall against orders just to give me this so-called 'reminder'?"
Watching Vikirsa's figure leave, Florence, who had been silent, spoke, "His Majesty's power is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that the harvest from this closed-door training is quite great, but … If my old eyes are right, Luo Jiefu's power has already eroded into Vikirsa's body. If he isn't treated, he will become delirious even if he doesn't die after a long time. When His Majesty was still a princess, Vikirsa once coveted His Majesty's beauty. All these years, he hasn't made any progress and only knows how to take advantage of opportunities. This time, he actually wants to become the crown prince. He is simply hopeless and seeking his own death. "
"Lilith, I want to see His Highness."
"Bank?" Catherine was shocked. When Florence ordered to follow the example of the Fallen Angel Empire to set up a national bank, she was in "closed-door training". When she came out of the closed-door training, the bank had already spread to various estates. Since the 3 empires were vigorously opening national banks, and the benefits were quite considerable, Catherine did not deny Florence's decree. Since the development of the bank, it was very popular. Almost everyone had a magic crystal card.
Florence nodded heavily, "It is indeed unexpected, and it is actually such an unheard of method. It is simply impossible to guard against!"
"That's right." Catherine couldn't think of a reason, "Maybe I'm overthinking."
After Lilith and Aiur left, Catherine took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, "Uncle, it seems that we are all wrong. In this most unlikely situation, the opponent actually made a move, and this blow hit the vital part that we didn't expect."
Vikirsa immediately said, "This martial arts conference is no small matter. Raizen will fight in person. It can be said to be extremely dangerous. There might even be life-threatening danger. Your Majesty must consider it carefully."
"If you want to threaten an emperor … you are not qualified yet." Catherine shook her head lightly, and a light flashed in her black eyes. Luo Jiefu suddenly shook. Starting from the hand that was strangling Vikirsa's neck, his body turned into ashes and dissipated.
"Uncle has always been sharp-eyed." Catherine smiled slightly. She did it on purpose just now. Vikirsa had always coveted her beauty and the throne behind her. It would be fine if he was really talented, but he just happened to be useless. His ability and wildness didn't match at all. It was just that the prince's identity was a bit special. It was a critical period now. Just in case, Catherine made a prompt decision to use the enemy's hand to kill the possibility of this prince causing harm to the empire.
"Why is the gap so big?" Catherine was shocked, and Florence also looked horrified. This was like a sudden blow, and it was quite fatal.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Vikirsa said sternly, "Although it is a bit offensive to discuss this topic, as the ruler of an empire, this is an aspect that must be considered."
"Lilith, you immediately summon the ministers to the hall for an emergency meeting."
"I have something important to report to Her Majesty. If it is delayed, can you bear this responsibility?"
Shadow Empire's palace, in front of the hall.
"Let's not talk about the various estates first. Looking at the situation of the capital bank, it will take at most 3 days." Aiur smiled bitterly, "If this frenzy of money withdrawal continues."
Florence sighed. "I've only misjudged one person in my life. He almost ruined my daughter's life. I regret not listening to your advice."
Lilith brought Prince Vikirsa and his entourage into the main hall. In the main hall, Catherine sat on the throne, and Royal Uncle Florence sat beside her. When Catherine was in "retreat", as the uncle of Her Majesty Empress and the most senior prince of the royal family, Florence used to act as regent for government affairs. Later, when Catherine "came out", Florence immediately resigned and returned the power to Catherine.
Catherine didn't give him a seat as usual, but she said indifferently, "Tell me, Vikirsa."
Catherine knew who he was talking about, and she comforted, "Forget it, Uncle. The past is the past. I heard that Medelu has found the man she likes now."
"I'm sorry, Prince Vikirsa, Lilith is doing her duty …"
Vikirsa looked embarrassed, "It turns out that Your Majesty has already planned it. It seems that I have worried in vain. However, there is one more thing. A month later, Raizen the Great's martial arts conference is about to be held. Your Majesty should attend it right?"
"Pa!" There seemed to be a slap in the face.
"If I guessed correctly, Raizen must be having a headache like us now." Catherine's hand holding the armrest of the throne was a little tight. "What a fatal attack without blood! I understand now. It turns out that when the 3 countries signed the armistice agreement, he had already been planning this attack … That damn guy! "
"I received the latest news that the Fallen Angel Empire will be in 3 days …"
Catherine's indifferent voice shocked the man behind Vikirsa. His first reaction was to pounce on Vikirsa. Vikirsa was caught off guard, and his throat was grabbed by his confidant, Luo Jeff.
Vikirsa's expression was stagnant. He bowed his head and said, "I'm just dedicated to the country. Please forgive me for my rudeness, Your Majesty. I will leave now."
Florence frowned and said, "Logically, it is the calm before the storm now. It is not a good opportunity for Your Majesty or Jía and Raizen to make a move. As for Vikirsa, it is just a small move."
Catherine glanced at Vikirsa in disdain. "Now, you can leave. If you dare to barge into the hall again, you know the consequences … When you go out later, apologize to Lilith, and this matter will be over."
"Luo Jeff, formerly known as Tu Sitan, intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord, Mammon Royal Family, is good at camouflage and transformation. He has been lurking beside Vikirsa for many years. He is regarded as a confidant and is deeply trusted."
Catherine nodded, "Generally speaking, the military parade is conducted in secret. Even if it is some kind of celebration, it is only a formal military parade. Now that the armistice agreement between the 3 empires is about to expire, the Fallen Angel Empire suddenly announces a live broadcast of the military parade through magic television at this time. I don't know what the intention is. Unless Jía can come up with the power to deter Raizen or me, otherwise, this kind of military parade will only backfire … I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy. I always feel like something big is going to happen. "
Once this situation occurs, not only the credibility of the empire will be greatly damaged, but it will also bring a series of terrible consequences. Catherine immediately understood the seriousness of this matter, and her expression became extremely solemn, "If I use the emergency funds of the treasury, how long can it last?"
At this time, Lilith hurriedly walked in, "Your Majesty, Finance Minister Al has an emergency and requests to see you."
Prince Vikirsa appeared to be around thirty years old. He had an elegant demeanor and was extraordinarily handsome. Looking at the Demon Realm's most beautiful empress wearing a veil on the throne, Vikirsa's eyes flashed with greed. He bowed from a distance and said, "Your Majesty! Royal Highness Florence, please forgive my rudeness, because I have the latest top-secret information to report to Your Majesty. "
Lilith, who had 5 red marks on her face, was not afraid. She waved her hand and was about to launch the signal to summon the guards to attack. The man behind Prince Vikirsa took a step forward. Before he moved, Lilith felt a terrifying aura oppressing her. She was actually unable to move for a while.
