The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1087

Chapter 1087: Chapter 1087: Defending Heavenly Origin Together

Scarlett Jennings spoke, and the hall fell silent.

The most incredulous were Minister Yuan and Hudson Phoenix. Unable to hold back, Hudson Phoenix stood up and said, "You want to go to the West?! How can a woman like you go to war..."

He wanted to tell her not to stir trouble and to stay peacefully in the Royal Palace, as ensuring an heir for Your Majesty was what truly mattered. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

However, before he could finish his words, Scarlett Jennings shot a sharp look at him. The glamorous gaze she once held as Lily Phoenix was gone, replaced by the stern demeanor of a fifteen-year-old girl in military attire, exuding an air of cool authority.

"I am the Empress of Heavenly Origin."

Scarlett Jennings said,

"Now that Heavenly Origin is in peril, it is natural for me to share the trials and tribulations with His Majesty."

She said this and then turned her gaze toward the courtiers,

"Regarding warfare, indeed, I am unfamiliar with it. But when it comes to repelling ferocious beasts, safeguarding the peace in the West, and stabilizing military morale, such responsibilities fall upon me."

As she spoke, she single-handedly chanted a mantra, and spiritual light sparked at her fingertips. In the next moment, the Fire Phoenix, transformed by Susan, quickly flew into the hall, circled once, and finally turned into a small Fire Phoenix perched on Scarlett Jennings’s shoulder.

The Phoenix Flames surrounded her, yet it did not harm her as it rested on her shoulder.

At this moment, everyone realized that this Empress was not merely Heaven’s Chosen Daughter.

While the hall was immersed in silence, a general suddenly stood out, bowed to Scarlett Jennings with clenched fists, and said,

"Your servant, Owen Harper, is willing to accompany the Empress to assist her in all matters!"

Following his lead, several generals stepped forward, requesting to either accompany the royal expedition, accompany the Empress, or lead soldiers to the other two borders.

These individuals were already prepared for battle; however, the sudden royal expedition by His Majesty disrupted their plans.

The previously contentious atmosphere in the hall seemed to have settled in this moment.

Samuel Chalmers, who remained silent until now, finally rose, walked over to Scarlett Jennings step by step, took her hand, and looked at her with calm eyes,

"As the Empress commands."

Then, facing the courtiers, he declared in a deep voice,

"From now on, I shall remain with the Empress and all ministers of Heavenly Origin to safeguard Heavenly Origin."

The courtiers felt a tremor in their hearts upon hearing this, knowing the decision was sealed, and henceforth unalterable. Moving past their initial alarm, only their undulating loyalty swelled within them.

Immediately, everyone in the hall knelt and offered their most sincere reverence to their Emperor and Empress.

"We, your servants, are willing to stand guard over Heavenly Origin alongside Your Majesty and the Empress."

The Empress, a mere fifteen-year-old girl, can accomplish such feats—how could they allow themselves to become the subject of ridicule?

Shortly after this court meeting, Samuel Chalmers swiftly set the departure time and appointed four paths for the generals to follow.

The decree for the imperial expedition was quickly announced, sparking an uproar across the court and among the people.

Yet by this time, neither Scarlett Jennings nor Samuel Chalmers could afford to listen to the voices of the outside world.

With Samuel Chalmers’s decree, the troops from all quarters prepared for departure.

Aside from him and Scarlett Jennings, Damian Carlson and Althea dealt with the defense of the other borders.

This wasn’t meant to involve them, but since the Four Nations’ battles invoked ferocious beasts, their intervention did not violate the Heavenly Dao Laws.

Besides, they had other concerns—

"With calamity beasts surfacing from all sides, neither the Matthew nor the fierce Red Hound match the true ferocity of a formidable beast."

As war erupts, chaos will ensue in the Mortal Realm; only then will the true ferocious beasts appear.
