What happened next shocked them again.
Morticia walked down quickly, bent her knees, and knelt in front of Archfiend Antigonus. Her beautiful face was full of excitement and joy. "Pleasure to see you again, Your Excellency."
All of a sudden, the entire hall fell into silence.
The rest of the people froze as if they were dumbfounded. Their brains buzzed and went blank.
What happened?
How could the Empress kneel toward that man and refer to him as His Excellency? Who on earth could make the Empress so humble?
Everyone looked at that scene in a daze and did not speak for a moment. There was pin-drop silence in the hall.
"Get up!"
"Times have changed. You don't need to be so formal."
Morticia stood up slowly. She was very excited. 'Great! Archfiend Antigonus is still alive, and the fiend race has a chance of survival.'
The next second, Morticia looked around and said to the rest of the people, "Everyone, listen carefully. From now on, he is the Sea Dragon Palace's Emperor and the Dragon King Island's master.
"You must try your best to assist him. If you don't obey him, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Her voice was clear, without any doubt, and had no room for further questions.
The rest of the people looked at each other. 'What's going on? 'The Empress is giving up the whole island to that man?'
'How can she do that?'
However, when they saw the serious look on Morticia's face, no one dared to go against her in public.
The next second, Forsythe knelt before the crowd and said respectfully, "Your Majesty." As a seasoned traveler, Forsythe not only relied on his strength but also on the ability to judge any situation.
The Empress was respectful toward that man. If he did not obey, he would have a miserable ending. Therefore, Forsythe surrendered decisively, and when he saw Morticia refer to the man as His Excellency, he also did the same.
Forsythe did not know the man's real identity, but if the man could make the Empress flatter him, then he must have an extraordinary background.
