Chapter 1877: Chapter 1061: Long-Awaited Reunion_2

“Sister, is it really you?”

After being stunned for a moment, the Scarlet Queen rushed forward, full of excitement.

“Kate, it is I.”

An ethereal and gentle voice arose, as the First Blood Clan Queen affectionately called out the Scarlet Queen’s nickname, spreading her arms to embrace the latter.

“Sister, it’s really you, only you would call me by my nickname, just like when we were children.”

The Scarlet Queen’s shoulders constantly trembled, tightly hugging her sister, as her previously majestic expression completely softened.

“Kate, you have grown up, no longer the crybaby you once were. Seeing you become a qualified queen truly comforts me.”

The First Blood Clan Queen smiled with relief and said, “I hope that after this, you can also protect this land that I once deeply loved on my behalf.”

“Sister, I will. As long as I am here, this land will never lose the light of hope.”

The Scarlet Queen nodded heavily, then a trace of puzzlement appeared on her face: “Sister, weren’t you supposed to have lost self-awareness? Why are you here?”

“It was precisely because of the destruction of that abhorrent creature a moment ago that I could temporarily regain myself, but I don’t have much time left to be conscious.”

The First Blood Clan Queen released the Scarlet Queen and then looked at Leo Ray beside her and said, “Before I fall back into slumber, let me properly thank the Prince of the Human Race who saved both Ironhand Archipelago and me.”

After speaking, the First Blood Clan Queen led the Scarlet Queen to Leo Ray’s side, once again kneeling on one knee, saying, “Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Prince, for your intervention and assistance!”

“Your Majesties, please, it’s an honor to witness such a touching reunion of sisters. My journey here was indeed worthwhile.”

Leo Ray helped both queens up in turn, smiling, “To have such leaders at the helm of Ironhand Archipelago is undoubtedly a blessing for all its people.”

“Your Highness, the Prince, you flatter us. We merely wish to ensure the survival of the kingdom painstakingly built by the former Royal Family. Though the Blood Clan does not have the best reputation, they know gratitude and reciprocation, as seen in the current situation.”

The First Blood Clan Queen solemnly nodded to Leo Ray, then turned to the Scarlet Queen and said earnestly, “Kate, I also understand the matters concerning the alliance with the Prince and the current situation.”

“I believe that alliance is not a bad thing. The situation among the Human Clan is turbulent, and Ironhand Archipelago presents a significant threat to both the Grim Kingdom and the Pars Empire.”

“Rather than sitting and waiting for destruction, facing enemies with eyes set on annihilation alone in the future, we are better off standing with the Coldflame Kingdom and fighting shoulder to shoulder for the future, perhaps finding a glimmer of hope.”

At this point, the First Blood Clan Queen smiled warmly again and said, “Of course, these are just my personal suggestions. My sister should carefully consider them. Regardless of your decision, I will steadfastly stand behind you.”

“Sister, I understand. I will think it over carefully.”

The Scarlet Queen nodded firmly and said seriously, “Rest assured, Sister, I will not let you down.”

“Then I have no more regrets.”

The First Blood Clan Queen’s pale face once again showed a trace of comfort, smiling, “Very well, it’s time for our farewell, Kate, take care of yourself.”

After speaking, the First Blood Clan Queen placed a hand on her chest and bowed to Leo Ray, then transformed into particles of light until she vanished completely, leaving behind only the joyful sounds of Peaceful Park echoing in the ears of those present.

“Rest assured, Sister, I will surely protect this kingdom.”

The Scarlet Queen stood for a moment, then murmured while gazing at the spot where the light particles had dispersed.

“Your Majesty, the Heart Demon mentioned earlier that your sister might have a chance of returning, and the ‘Blood Feast Ritual’ did not erase her consciousness, only sealed it temporarily.”

Leo Ray gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, “When the people here no longer need the ‘Blood Feast Barrier,’ perhaps we can find a way to bring your sister back.”

“His Royal Highness, the Holy Lion’s words are indeed true.”

The Scarlet Queen turned back to Leo Ray, smiling awkwardly, “I’m sorry for letting you see my vulnerable side.”

“It’s all right; maintaining a perpetually serious and iron-willed demeanor is not easy for anyone.”

Leo Ray raised his eyebrows and replied, “Seeing the real side of Your Majesty makes you feel even more genuine to me.”

“Your Highness, you are too kind. In private, there’s no need to address me as Your Majesty; you can call me Catherine.”

The Scarlet Queen, named Catherine, fidgeted a little, then quietly added, “Or you can call me by my nickname, Kate.”

“Understood, Catherine.”

Leo Ray smiled helplessly, then collected his smile, and solemnly said, “Then…”

Before Leo Ray could finish his words, Catherine’s fair face filled with determination, as she spoke first, “I have already decided, Ironhand Archipelago is willing to ally with the Coldflame Kingdom, to stand together and face future crises and challenges!”

Upon hearing this, both Leo Ray and Little Illusion couldn’t help but feel elated.

Now that the alliance was formed, the next topic was naturally about how Ironhand Archipelago would deploy its forces to assist in stabbing the Grim Kingdom and the Pars Empire in the back.

“Thank you, Queen Catherine, for your trust.”

Feeling exhilarated in his heart, Leo Ray nodded to Little Illusion and said, “Let us first leave this consciousness world.”

“As you command, Lord.”

Little Illusion’s transparent wings flapped, tracing a graceful arc in the air.

When Leo Ray opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the platform beside the Array Eye.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, the ‘Blood Feast Barrier’ has been completely restored, and the citizens are waking up gradually!”

The Spirit Wand Prince Valentin was the first to rush to Catherine’s front, kneeling on one knee, “The crisis of Ironhand Archipelago has been completely lifted!”

Listening to his words, while gesturing to the gathered subordinates that everything was fine, Leo Ray stood up from his seat.

From the Array Eye’s center extending outward, the previously dim blood streaks all shimmered with a brilliant light, in stark contrast to the once dreary scene.

“I already know it was His Royal Highness, the Holy Lion, who saved this land from impending destruction.”

Catherine, having regained her regal and elegant appearance, succinctly described the events.

“So that’s how it is. Is this the price of confinement?”

After listening to Catherine’s description, Valentin sighed lightly, then respectfully said to her, “So it turns out that the Holy Lion not only saved Your Majesty and the former Queen, eliminating the Negative Consciousness Collective and successfully restoring the ‘Blood Feast Barrier,’ but also was the Chosen Son of God?!”

Upon hearing Valentin’s words, all the Blood Clan ministers looked towards Leo Ray, some with gratitude, others with awe.

In this age where the gods no longer favor us, the weight of being the Chosen Son of God needs no further explanation, it’s even rarer than a Tier 6 Expert.

“Indeed, and his Royal Highness has already infused a significant amount of Power of Divine Grace, temporarily returning the ‘Blood Feast Ritual’ to its complete form.”

Catherine slightly nodded, affirming Valentin’s words.

“No wonder the output power of the ‘Blood Feast Ritual’ is vastly different from before, and the coverage range through the Magic Tower is more extensive. So that’s how it is.”

Valentin’s pale face was full of excitement, spontaneously exclaiming, “In this case, it probably won’t be long before people can leave the coverage range of the ‘Blood Feast Barrier’!”

After Valentin spoke, the other Blood Clan ministers also showed expressions of joy and excitement.

This undoubtedly meant that the unsolvable dilemma that had troubled them for a century finally saw the dawn of a solution!

“Now that everyone understands everything, I declare that Ironhand Archipelago will ally with the Coldflame Kingdom to jointly face all future crises, until the end of time!”

The Queen’s Crown atop Catherine’s head glistened brightly as she declared loudly.
