Valkyrie's Revenge

Chapter 243

Raven paused in her movement, then tilted her head slightly.

At that moment, Emperor Grant was already kneeling before her.

However, despite kneeling, his face was filled with endless humiliation and resentment as he looked at her.

Yet, contrary to the expression on his face, his voice rang out loud and righteous. "For the sake of the nation and

the people, what harm is there in kneeling before you?"

After speaking, he locked eyes with Raven and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

Raven looked at Emperor Grant, who even now still clung to his laughable pride, and truly found it ridiculous.

But since he had knelt, she wasn't an unreasonable person.

She glanced indifferently at him on his knees and said, "Three conditions."

Emperor Grant was stunned.

The next moment, his face flushed with fury. "Don't push your luck!"

Raven chuckled lightly. "Well then, nothing can be done."

"General Valor!" The surrounding high-ranking officials, who had just breathed a sigh of relief at Emperor Grant's

kneeling, instantly had their hearts in their throats again.

"Your Majesty, perhaps we should at least hear what General Valor's requests are?" one official suggested.

Emperor Grant fell silent. But thinking that he had already knelt, there was no harm in hearing her out.

He took a deep breath and looked at Raven. "What are your conditions?"

Raven replied, "First, you must publicly apologize for imprisoningand the members of the Sirius Pack."

As soon as her words fell, Emperor Grant's face darkened.

He imprisoned Raven because she had chopped off the limbs of the Sunset Empire's soldiers and hung them

outside the military base's gates

If he made that public, the people's anger toward the Sunset Empire could very well be redirected at him.

More importantly, as the sovereign of Vyrdenia, he had always upheld one principle. Everything he said and

every decision he made were correct.

Even if it was wrong, it was still right because he had said so.

Emperor Grant had never imagined he would one day admit fault or apologize. To him, apologizing was no better

than dying.

Then, Raven said, "Forget it if you don't want to. I'm not forcing you."

Emperor Grant didn't immediately refuse. He stared at her and asked, "What are the other two conditions?"

Raven gave him a bland glance. "If you can't fulfill the first condition, then the other two are meaningless, aren't

they?"

A senior official quickly stepped in to advise. "Your

Majesty it's just an apology. It doesn't cost you anything substantial.

Please agree!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! You were indeed at fault in this matter. A public apology might even enhance your image as a

wise ruler"

"We implore Your Majesty to put the nation and the people first!"

Emperor Grant looked at these officials, who all seemed so righteous, and was enraged.

But then he thought, if the Sunset Empire truly invaded, what he would lose wasn't just his dignity, but his life.

He took a deep breath, forced down his rising blood pressure, and gritted his teeth. "Fine. | agree to the first

condition."

Lorne and the other high-ranking officials all had a flicker of light in their eyes.

In that moment, many suddenly felt that it might not have been a bad thing that Emperor Grant wasn't directly

killed by the Sunset Empire.

After all, Vyrdenia's monarchy was hereditary, and Raven had no blood relation to Emperor Grant.

If he died and they supported Raven as the new monarch, they might face doubt and opposition from the people.

But if the people knew how despicable Emperor Grant had been, it would be a different story.

The public exposure of such deeds would greatly weaken his prestige and significantly boost Raven's standing.

That would undoubtedly pave the way for Raven to becthe ruler of Vyrdenia, or even the Grand Emperor

Grant.

Emperor Grant didn't notice the subtle changes in the people around him. He just turned to Raven again. "And

the second condition?"

Raven smiled lightly. "I'll tell you once you've completed the first one."

The first condition was the easiest. She knew Emperor Grant might hesitate, but he would definitely agree.

Emperor Grant hesitated for a moment, just about to raise his hand, when suddenly he felt both of his arms go

completely numb.

His breath hitched sharply.

At that moment, he realized he had been so focused on killing Raven and the battlefield reports that he had

forgotten his arms and fingers had been broken!

In panic, Emperor Grant looked at Lorne and urgently ordered, "Lorne, taketo the battlefield hospital

immediately!"

He could not afford to lose the use of his arms.

If he did, he wouldn't just lose the throne. He'd lose the ability to care for himself!

Lorne responded in an unhurried tone, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then he ordered smen to carry away five severely wounded allies of Emperor Grant, who had been injured

by the Sunset Empire's Starbornes.

He also instructed a few others to handle the corpses of the Sunset Empire's soldiers before finally escorting

Emperor Grant toward the prison gates. Emperor Grant asked, "Lorne, can't you see the condition of my arms?"

Lorne replied, "I'm getting old, Your Majesty. My legs aren't what they used to be. | beg your understanding..."

Chapter 243

After they left, Raven ordered Sirius Pack and the others to restraining, then exited the underground prison.

When she reached the military gates, she cleanly executed the enemy leader, Jedidiah, and hung his body there.

She took a photo and left.

Half an hour later, she entered the Lysander family's residence using the family token Edric had given her.

Ten days ago, she calmed Cassian to prevent him from blowing up the prison and asked him for a favor.

Now that Emperor Grant was going to apologize, it was tto use what Cassian had prepared.

Just as she reached the door to Edric's quarters, a helpless voice cfrom within. “Dad, why are you trying to

setup on a blind date? You said it yourself. The one who savedwas my idol, Commander of the Sirius

Pack. He saved my life! Isn't it right forto offer myself to him in return?"

Inside the room, Edric looked complicatedly at Cassian, who was focused on his computer. He frowned and said

to Ash, "What offer? He already has a partner!” He now regretted not telling his daughter that the commander

was a woman, fearing she would be disappointed after waking up.

Now, he really didn't know how to break it to her.

Hearing her father's words, Ash let out a skeptical snort. "You don't believe in your daughter's charm? He's not

married yet! What kind of love rival can | not beat?"

As she spoke, she nudged Cassian beside her as if seeking support. “Cassian, don't you think I'm right?"

At that moment, Raven, who had just reached the doorway, saw Cassian still staring at his screen. Whether he

heard his sister or not was unclear, but he still gave a soft. "Yeah."
