by Need_More_SleepVolume 5 + Chapter 139: The Little Fox’s Letter
Xia Yi had just woken up when Elly came to find her, bringing rather startling news.
“Fox Radish is going to ascend the throne and become the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor?” Xia Yi blinked.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Elly nodded.
“The previous Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, Yue Yin, has already announced that he will pass the throne to Yue Liu. The auspicious date for the coronation has been set, and the fox clan informed us early this morning.”
“So our dragon race will also attend the coronation ceremony?” Xia Yi asked.
“Of course! After all, the dragon race and the fox clan are now allies. And besides… Yue Liu is Your Highness’s ‘fermented tofu’!”
“Fox Radish is… fermented tofu?”
Xia Yi tilted her head.
Food?
“Yes, well… emotional fermented tofu.”
Elly moved closer, lowering her voice mysteriously.
“Your Highness, we already know about your grand plan.”
“Plan?”
“Yes, yes! By controlling each race’s princess, you control their nations, conquering powerful Higher Species without bloodshed and gradually ruling the land. It’s called the ‘Princess Link Plan’! First the vampire clan, then the fox clan… next, the elves?”
“???”
Xia Yi had no idea what Elly was talking about.
Strange words kept pouring out.
But judging from Elly’s expression, her own image seemed incredibly grand, like she was orchestrating some vast strategy.
Well… wasn’t this a good chance to build authority?
Even if she didn’t fully understand, going along with it would have the desired effect.
“Elly, so you’ve grasped the brilliance of this grand design as well.”
Xia Yi turned toward the rising dawn, adopting a composed, inscrutable tone, like a far-sighted schemer.
“Yes. Everything has been under my control so far. The plan to dominate this land is steadily advancing… but until everything is settled, we must not grow complacent. Before success, we must continue striving.”
“As expected of you, Your Highness!!”
Elly completely believed Karami’s analysis now.
“Just hearing about it excites me so much… compared to Your Highness’s calm composure, I’m still far behind…”
“It’s alright, Elly. By my side, you will witness how I become the emperor of emperors, before whom all races will bow.”
“What an honor!! Your Highness, I will follow you to the end and witness your great achievements!! Your Highness is the strongest!”
Not bad, not bad!
Even though she barely understood what she had just said, the effect was quite convincing.
Xia Yi secretly felt pleased, her authority had definitely increased.
……
After washing up, changing clothes, and finishing breakfast, Xia Yi met with the dragon envoys.
After formal greetings, the first topic raised was Yue Liu’s coronation.
“Your Highness, you’ve heard, correct? Yue Liu · Gitusezhuoya will ascend the throne as the new Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor, and our dragon race has been invited to the ceremony,” Karami said. “This is excellent news for us, since Yue Liu supports our faction.”
“Yes, Elly has already informed me,” Xia Yi replied calmly. “In fact, this was within my expectations, though I didn’t anticipate it happening so soon.”
“Your… expectations?”
The envoys were surprised.
“Could it be…?!”
Karami reacted first.
“Your Highness, did you require the fox princess to become the Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor after the restoration?”
“Yes.”
Xia Yi had simply thought that only as emperor could the little fox truly uphold her promises.
There had also been a bit of playful intent, testing whether Yue Liu had enough resolve.
From the result, she clearly did.
“The youngest Nine-Tailed Fox Emperor in history… and one with deep ties to the dragon race. This is essentially controlling the fox clan’s internal affairs…”
Karami trembled slightly.
“Exactly! This is part of Her Highness’s Princess Link Plan!” Elly added.
“Just like how the vampire princess became queen!”
“So the plan really exists!!”
Karami was nearly jumping.
The other envoys were equally excited.
“So it began with Blackstone Kingdom!”
“With the dragon-blood-fox alliance, who could resist us?!”
“Her Highness will restore dragon glory and unify the land!!”
Though Xia Yi herself didn’t quite understand their excitement…
Better not dig too deeply.
She had an image to maintain.
“Prepare in advance. Learn the fox clan’s customs, don’t embarrass the dragon race at the ceremony,” Xia Yi instructed.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
……
The ceremony was set for three days later in the fox capital.
Many nations would attend, it would be a grand event.
The dragon envoys were treated as honored guests.
Xia Yi had planned to rest and relax until then.
However…
When she returned to her room, she found something strange.
A letter.
Addressed to her.
Normally, no one could enter her room…
Unless,
She opened it.
The handwriting was unmistakably Yue Liu’s.
But after reading it, Xia Yi was puzzled.
“Fox Radish… what is this supposed to mean?”
