you your majesty to deliberate carefully
chapter 229 deaths do not disappear with
death suddenly the queen of the Dark
Star dragons let out a cold snort and
the clamorous pleas in the hall fell
silent at once she cast a frigid gaze
over everyone present her voice iy as
she declared the rules here are
determined by me when I ask for your
opinions it is merely to solicit your
thoughts not to have you make decisions
on my behalf understand her words Pierce
through the hearts of all like shards of
ice an overwhelming mental Force
enveloping every individual causing
their souls to tremble each person felt
a shiver run down their spine and
promptly bowed in unison proclaiming we
understand we shall abide by your
Majesty's decision proceed as I dictate
the Queen's voice bore an undeniable
Authority and as soon as she finished
speaking her figure vanished from the
throne like a wraith the ministers
exchanged apprehensive glances and only
when her presence had completely
dissipated did they dare to rise
unsteadily from the ground sighing in
resignation as they gradually exited the
conference room each left casting a
complex glance at suene filled with
resentment lamentation and helplessness
they muttered to themselves bringing
disaster to the nation a Calamity for
the people suene upon hearing these
words was momentarily speechless he
inwardly cursed damn it they treating me
like dodgy he had never imagined that
one day he would be subjected to the
same treatment as a
seductress however he quickly
reconsidered if he were seductress would
that not imply that the queen of the
Dark Star dragons was a tyrant these
ministers dared not openly criticize the
queen but instead took their
frustrations out on him such cowardice
suene shot a disdainful glance at the
crowd before turning to Claude Claude
approached speaking to suene with a
pleasant demeanor your highness what
shall we do next please give your
instructions s Eugene gestured toward
the kneeling mercenaries and smiled let
us first discuss the issue of the ransom
when others offered him a smile he
naturally returned it with one of his
own subsequently under Sue jyn's
watchful eye the negotiations between
Claude and Tigress unfolded gradually
the captives all belong to the free
swords thus the ransom amount would be
determined by Tigress that I in truth it
also require the nod of chileen but she
was currently Gravely injured and
unconscious unable to make decisions
therefore it fell to him clearing his
throat he attempted to secure the best
possible outcome Lord Claud we have a
total of 11 individuals here that if we
calculate a ransom of 100,000 star iron
coins per person that amounts to
1,100,000 Star iron coins how does that
sound to you tigress's tone revealed a
hint of helplessness and pleading This
truly is the maximum we can bear
anything more we simply cannot endure
Claude upon hearing this gently shook
his head no 1,100,000 is far too little
the damage inflicted upon the slave
dungeon far exceeds this amount this sum
would not even suffice to repair the
flooring he paused then added moreover
to my knowledge there were 132
mercenaries who entered Darkstar Dragon
City this time you must also account for
their ransoms claw began to pay slowly
as if contemplating a more reasonable
proposal additionally calculating at
2,000 per individual is far too
simplistic that we should deduct based
on each person's financial status at a
rate of 90% to determine the ransom
accordingly his tone bore an
unmistakable Authority 1 132 individuals
but now we are left with only these 11
the others have already must we bear the
ransoms for them as well tigress's face
turned Ashen the Coalition they formed
this time gathered the elite from three
