"Sister, you really look beautiful today."
Prince Kyarat smiled warmly and approached eagerly.
Krisia felt a little uncomfortable, and she replied indifferently, "Thank you, brother."
The other people present also chimed in with praises.
"Truly stunning."
...
"Thank you!"
Krisia replied perfunctorily, while her gaze continuously scanned the banquet, searching for Su Mo’s figure, but unfortunately, she couldn’t find him, which made her feel slightly disappointed.
Sitting on the throne at this moment, Emperor Kilmock spoke with great cheer.
"Everyone quiet down."
The lively atmosphere at the scene calmed down, and Kilmock then gestured towards Krisia.
Krisia gracefully walked to stand beside Kilmock.
Kilmock, in high spirits, addressed the crowd.
"Today is Krisia’s birthday, and it also marks the glorious moment for the Immortal Empire. Let us celebrate and enjoy....."
"Yes, Emperor!"
The crowd responded enthusiastically.
Yet Krisia’s expression remained indifferent, without any change, as if it wasn’t her birthday today.
At this moment, the tightly closed palace doors suddenly opened.
Two figures immediately walked in; leading the way was a handsome, blond man dressed in a white shirt and black suit with gold borders, walking gracefully.
Following him was an old man, dressed like a butler, with a bushy mustache and a black round hat.
As soon as the pair entered, the previously bustling scene fell silent.
Seeing the two men, Prince Kyarat’s expression changed dramatically, and his hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.
He quickly issued orders to the subordinate beside him.
"Announce that the Emperor is entertaining guests, no one is allowed to disturb."
"Yes."
The subordinate responded promptly.
In no time, miscellaneous personnel retreated one after another.
The core members of the Immortal Empire present looked at the two with curiosity, instinctively feeling a sense of dread.
It was at this moment that a scene emerged which stunned everyone.
Emperor Kilmock unexpectedly stood up from his throne and, accompanied by Krisia, descended to greet the leading youth.
"Lord Amiclair! I didn’t expect you to come in person."
"Haha, Kilmock, you are too kind."
Amiclair responded with a cheerful smile, then directly sat on Kilmock’s throne.
Though Kilmock’s expression did not change, a stormy look flickered in his deep eyes; he had never expected that Amiclair, son of the Clan Leader of the Eternal Sleep Clan and a VI-level Star Lord Spirit Toucher, would come personally using a human host.
This was not a good sign; the purpose of his visit was certainly anything but simple.
"I wonder, Lord Amiclair, if there are any important matters regarding your visit to the Immortal Empire this time? Or is there something special your father wishes to communicate?"
Kilmock discreetly inquired.
Beside him, Krisia hadn’t spoken, but her heart was as turbulent as a restless sea, unable to remain calm.
Amiclair’s sudden arrival indeed left her a little off guard.
Amiclair gazed at Kilmock with a bemused expression, an inscrutable smile on his face. In fact, his reason for being here was very simple.
The strategic action of the Eternal Sleep Clan toward Star Ring City had failed, largely due to the Immortal Empire.
Because of tampering with the corpse, its father failed to descend successfully.
The attitude exhibited by the Immortal Empire in this war was incredibly ambiguous, and when matters reached accountability, Kilmock provided a scapegoat to pass over the issues lightly.
This inevitably led Amiclair to suspect whether the Immortal Empire was wavering in its stance, and he harbored vague feelings that Kilmock showed signs of losing control, besides possessing special intelligence himself.
Kilmock had been developing a new technology said to potentially free them from the constraints of the neural network.
Though uncertain about its authenticity, it was enough to garner immense attention from him.
"Kilmock, look at how you’re speaking, can’t I visit without any business? I haven’t seen you in a while and missed you dearly; today I took the liberty of visiting, surely you wouldn’t mind."
"Certainly not, your arrival is an honor to us. Today happens to be my daughter Krisia’s birthday, if you don’t mind Lord Amiclair, you can join us."
Kilmock replied solemnly, his heart sinking deeper. No business was the biggest issue.
"Haha, so today is Miss Krisia’s birthday, no wonder it’s so lively. Though my visit was hasty and I didn’t bring any gifts, surely Miss Krisia wouldn’t mind?"
Amiclair looked at Krisia.
Krisia bowed slightly and responded respectfully, "The presence of Lord Amiclair is the greatest blessing."
"Miss Krisia truly deserves to be Emperor Kilmock’s daughter, so poised and wise."
Amiclair said with a smile.
"Lord Amiclair, you flatter us."
Kilmock replied cautiously.
However, what Amiclair said next shocked everyone present.
"Emperor Kilmock, upon meeting Miss Krisia today, I felt an instant connection, truly fond of her! Since it also happens to be Miss Krisia’s birthday, why not wed her to me? It would be a joyous occasion twice over, wouldn’t it be wonderful, don’t you agree?"
Upon hearing Amiclair’s words, Krisia’s previously composed face showed a trace of unease, and her emotions became as tangled as a ball of yarn.
