“Why are the South Cloud envoys here?” Darryl opened his mouth and asked.
He was the Westrington Emperor at that moment, so he naturally had to ask about South Cloud’s purpose.
The eunuch thought for a while and replied, “Your Majesty, the South Cloud has sent a group of envoys here to renew the alliance treaty from what I understand.”
Darryl was stunned. ‘That’s not right, didn’t South Cloud World and Westrington sign an alliance treaty more than ten years ago?’
“Your Majesty!”
The eunuch then explained to the still confused Darryl, “Your Majesty, what you should know is that the alliance treaty was void when Donoghue killed the previous emperor. A new emperor meant a new empire after all.”
The eunuch then looked at Darryl’s expression changes and said with a much more cautious tone, “In addition, the re-signing of the alliance treaty was Donoghue’s intention. However, he is no longer the emperor anymore as you are the current Westrington Emperor, so you have the right to decide whether to sign the treaty with South Cloud World or otherwise.”
“Woo!”
Darryl took a deep breath upon hearing that as his eyes turned gloomy.
After clarifying for half a day, it turns out that the South Cloud World wanted to sign an alliance treaty with Donoghue. Only that they did not expect Donoghue was no longer the emperor as the current Westrington Emperor was himself instead.
At that moment, the eunuch cautiously said, “Your Majesty, the South Cloud envoys still did not know that you have taken over Donoghue’s throne. If Your Majesty does not want to sign the treaty with South Cloud World, I’ll let them know and tell them to go back.”
“No!”
Darryl shook his head and smiled. “An alliance is a good thing. Why should we refuse them?”
Darryl then smiled and asked, “You just said that the South Cloud people still don’t know that Donoghue is no longer the emperor?”
The eunuch shook his head and said guiltily, “Yes, they do not know. I just got the news that they have arrived, so I quickly came to report to Your Majesty. I did not have the time to inform them that Westrington has changed its emperor.”
Darryl nodded. “Ok, I understand. You don’t have to inform them. Leave first.”
The eunuch responded and quickly left the bed-chamber.
Darryl did not hesitate upon seeing the eunuch leaving. He changed his clothes and headed straight to the Violet Sun Palace.
Darryl did not wear the dragon robes but dressed casually.
