Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist
Chapter 329 Empress Victoria Meets Azure Spirit Lion
The morning sun cast a warm and inviting glow across the palace as a new day dawned. In the grand meeting hall, Empress Victoria, resplendent in her regal attire, awaited the arrival of Wang Jian and his entourage.
Her ministers, a group of seasoned advisors, had spent the previous evening discussing the newfound alliance between their Empire and Wang Jian's Everlasting Mystical Empire.
Isabella walked beside Wang Jian, her demeanor a stark contrast to the passionate abandon of the previous night.
As Wang Jian entered the hall, his women following behind him, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation. Empress Victoria's eyes, sharp and discerning, met his.
She approached him with measured grace, acknowledging the presence of Isabella and Wang Jian's consorts with a nod of her head.
Wang Jian, too, conducted himself with the decorum befitting an Emperor. He met Empress Victoria's gaze with a respectful bow before they engaged in conversation.
Empress Victoria began, her voice carrying the weight of authority. "Emperor Wang, I have consulted my ministers on the matter we discussed. They are in agreement that this alliance holds promise for our respective dominions."
Wang Jian nodded, his expression poised and determined. "I am pleased to hear that, Empress Victoria."
Isabella, standing nearby, listened attentively to the exchange. She understood the gravity of the situation and the potential consequences of her actions.
Empress Victoria continued, her eyes holding a hint of curiosity. "Now, Emperor Wang, I would appreciate it if you could lead me to the location where the mine of that unknown metal ore is situated. And, if it's not too much to ask, introduce me to the Azure Spirit Lion, who is said to be a Beast Saint."
Wang Jian's lips curled into a confident smile. "Of course, Empress. I will personally escort you to the mine and introduce you to the Azure Spirit Lion."
Isabella watched the exchange closely, a silent witness to the unfolding alliance between her beloved Emperor and her revered Empress.
Under the clear blue sky, the group began their journey towards the secretive location of the mysterious metal ore mine.
Wang Jian led the way, accompanied by his entourage of women and Empress Victoria, who was flanked by Isabella. The path they traversed was rugged and obscure, a well-guarded secret known only to a few.
They reached the entrance to the mine, concealed behind a massive stone facade. With a subtle gesture from Wang Jian, the hidden passage was revealed, and they stepped into the cavernous depths.
Inside the mine, the walls glittered with veins of the mysterious metal ore, casting an otherworldly glow across the chamber. Empress Victoria and Isabella approached the ore with a mixture of excitement and determination.
Empress Victoria extended her hand, her fingers lightly brushing the surface of the ore. "Let us see if this metal is as resilient as you say," she remarked, her voice carrying an air of confidence.
With a concentrated effort, she attempted to break a small piece of the ore. However, despite her considerable power, the ore remained unyielding, as if mocking her attempts.
Isabella, too, tested her strength against the ore, but with similar results. "It is as formidable as you claimed," she admitted.
Wang Jian, observing their efforts, wore a satisfied smile. "Indeed, Empress. The Dwarves will struggle to extract this resource."
As they stood in the heart of the forest, Empress Victoria and Isabella engaged in a hushed yet animated discussion about their next steps. The dense foliage concealed their secrets from prying eyes, and their voices remained low, a testament to the clandestine nature of their conversation.
Empress Victoria mused, "Isabella, we need to devise a plan to share this valuable information with the Dwarves discreetly. We must incite their interest and, at the right moment, reveal our hand."
Isabella's eyes sparkled with cunning as she contemplated the possibilities. "Empress, we could use the Dwarven spies within our Empire to our advantage. By feeding them carefully selected details about this ore, we can plant the seeds of greed within their hearts."
Empress Victoria nodded, impressed by her disciple's strategic mind. "That's an excellent suggestion, Isabella. We'll make them believe they've stumbled upon this treasure themselves. Their greed will cloud their judgment."
Wang Jian, who had been silently observing their conversation, chimed in with a smirk. "And when they think they've found the motherlode, we'll be there to welcome them with open arms... and chains."
The group shared a sly grin, their alliance solidifying as they laid the foundation for their cunning plan.
With their cunning plan in place, the group didn't immediately return from the forest but ventured deeper into its enchanting depths.
As their forest journey continued, the group ventured even deeper into the enchanting woodland. Shafts of golden sunlight pierced the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. Wang Jian led the way, guiding Empress Victoria and Isabella through the heart of this verdant realm, teeming with life.
With a sense of reverence in his voice, Wang Jian turned to his two companions and said, "Ladies, there is someone I'd like you to meet." His voice resonated with respect as he continued, "This is the guardian of the beasts of this forest—the Azure Spirit Lion."
As the group stepped into a small clearing, they were met with a breathtaking sight. The Azure Spirit Lion, a magnificent and regal creature, stood before them. Its powerful form was complemented by massive, majestic wings. Deep azure fur rippled like flowing water, and its gaze held a wisdom that transcended mere beastly instincts.
The Azure Spirit Lion surveyed Empress Victoria and Isabella with keen interest, its eyes carrying the weight of centuries of wisdom. The Empress and her disciple were both startled by the presence of such a magnificent and otherworldly being, unable to hide the nervousness that rippled beneath their poised exteriors.
Empress Victoria, a ruler in her own right, had met countless dignitaries and royals, yet the aura of the Azure Spirit Lion left her with a sense of awe. She offered a graceful nod in acknowledgment but remained silent, allowing Wang Jian to take the lead in this interaction.
Isabella, equally struck by the lion's presence, found herself unable to speak, her usually confident demeanor temporarily subdued in the face of this Beast Saint.
Wang Jian, with an air of casual camaraderie, addressed the Azure Spirit Lion, "My friend, I bring news that may interest you. Empress Victoria," he indicated towards her, "is prepared to join forces with us in addressing the looming threat posed by the dwarves."
The Azure Spirit Lion, its immense form looming in the forest's dappled light, directed its gaze toward Empress Victoria.
Its eyes, like deep pools of wisdom, studied her with a discerning intensity, as if seeking the truth in her very soul.
Empress Victoria, ever regal and composed, met its gaze with a dignified nod of confirmation.
The Beast Saint's reaction was a stirring sight. A rumbling purr of contentment emanated from its throat, and its eyes seemed to sparkle with newfound hope.
"Empress Victoria," it said with a deep, resonant voice, "your willingness to aid us warms the hearts of all beasts in this forest. We offer our gratitude."
Empress Victoria acknowledged the gesture with a gracious smile, her respect for the guardian of the forest evident in her demeanor.
"It is an honor to stand with you," she replied, her voice carrying the weight of her commitment.
With the alliance solidified, the three—Wang Jian, Empress Victoria, and the Azure Spirit Lion—delved into the heart of their planning.
They discussed battle formations, strategical considerations, and tactics with the natural ease of comrades.
The Azure Spirit Lion, well-versed in the forest's secrets, shared invaluable insights into the unique abilities of its fellow beast companions, illustrating how their strengths could be harnessed to fullest effect.
In this collaborative exchange, each participant contributed their knowledge and perspectives, forging a formidable plan of action.
Wang Jian's tactical acumen, Empress Victoria's military expertise, and the Azure Spirit Lion's profound understanding of the forest's intricacies melded seamlessly.
Their conversation flowed with fluidity and purpose, cultivating a sense of unity and mutual respect among the trio.
As the next couple of days unfolded, Empress Victoria dedicated herself tirelessly to her preparations. Her leadership was unwavering, and she worked closely with her generals to assemble a formidable force capable of confronting the dwarven threat. Troops were drilled in various battle formations, weapons were sharpened, and strategies were devised with meticulous care.
Unknown to Empress Victoria, during these nights, Wang Jian had been discreetly slipping into Isabella's chambers. There, they engaged in passionate lovemaking sessions that left no doubt about the intensity of their connection. The nights were filled with unrestrained desire and an unquenchable hunger that only seemed to grow stronger with each clandestine rendezvous.
After their passionate encounters, Wang Jian would spend hours sweet-talking Isabella, weaving words of affection and desire that bound her ever more tightly to him. He ensured that her loyalty was unwavering, that she was a willing accomplice in his plans.
Meanwhile, in the vast expanse of the Dwarven Powered Immortal Dominion, the news of the wondrous metal ore, believed to be the coveted Immortal Ore, reached eager ears. The dwarves were abuzz with excitement, their hearts filled with anticipation at the prospect of harnessing such a rare and powerful resource.
