Having learned the truth, Lu Mingyuan's expression was surprisingly calm.
'They struck a deal. If that's the case, why would the Great Nether Empress still send troops to attack Great Yan?'
It was a peculiar question.
Lu Mingyuan could only think of one explanation.
One of them had broken the agreement, forcing the deal to be terminated and creating a rift between them.
'Judging from the current situation, it seems more likely that my Imperial Father was the one who broke the agreement, provoking retaliation from the Great Nether Empress.'
'If so, why is the Empress so insistent that I marry into the Demon Country?'
'Could it be that she knows how important I am to my Imperial Father, and that's why she wants me firmly in her grasp?'
Regardless, a clash between Emperor Yong'an and the Great Nether Empress was inevitable.
'What I need to do is figure out how to survive while caught in the middle.'
