Chapter 585: Chapter 581, defeat

Translator: 549690339 

Empress Yekana had been watching the match closely the entire time. The final outcome was the victory of the Frost Kingdom.

However, compared to the humiliation of her own country’s defeat, Empress Yekana was more concerned about the performance of her son, Prince Kaos.

After the battle ended, he had been sitting on the chair and covering his face with his hands. This was the first time Empress Yekana had seen him lose his composure like this since he became an adult.

Ever since Kaos left the ‘furnace’of the country of steel as the victor, he seemed to have been given a heart made of steel.

Even though he was defeated in the sage trial, Prince Kaos quickly adjusted his state of mind. Queen Yekana did not even see a trace of dejection on his face, only something called fighting spirit.

However, at this moment, Prince Kaos showed his most vulnerable side in front of everyone..

Queen Yekana looked at the enemy’s Energy Center on the screen. After watching three rounds of battles, she understood the conditions for victory in this game.

The enemy’s energy center only had a small amount of HP left. With the damage from the final strike of the master craftsman, Prince Kaos only needed one strike to grasp victory in his hands.

However, he did not do it. This was completely different from the battle in reality. The victory of the Holy Spirit could be measured by numerical values. It was clear and concrete.

This made Kaos feel even more realistic the pain of having the victory firmly in his grasp, but his wrist had been forcefully ripped open by the enemy to snatch it away.

He had really lost his composure.

Empress Yekana was about to finish the tea in the cup in one gulp. When she left the tavern with the team from the country of steel, she realized that the tea in the cup was completely cold.

“Madam Yekana… your dress.”

At this moment, she finally heard Enoch’s reminder. Empress Yekana lowered her head and looked at her crimson dress. She found that it was already stained with a thick layer of tea stains.

When? Empress Yekana was slightly stunned. She looked at the Teacup in her hand. The rim of the Teacup had already cracked.

When she was watching the match just now, she had been too emotional, causing the mana to overflow from her body.

She suddenly realized that she had been paying too much attention to the battle situation of the Magic Network game and had not noticed this at all.

Empress Yekana used her hand to gently stroke her skirt, and the tea stains on it disappeared in an instant.

The team of the country of steel also walked down from the competition booth at this time. Empress Yekana could see that everyone’s expressions were not good. Prince Kaos pursed his lips tightly, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

“You failed,”Empress Yekana said softly, and like a sharp sword, it pierced through Prince Kaos’s heart. “The second time.”

The other servants of the country of steel all knelt down in fear at this moment. Only Prince Kaos and general Fred were still standing there.

His gaze was fixed on Empress Yekana. This empress could see that there was a flame burning in his pupils.

Empress Yekana didn’t say anything. She turned around and walked out of the tavern. The other attendants who were kneeling on the ground waiting for punishment were at a loss.

“Let’s go back,”general Fred said to the attendants who were participating in the competition with an expressionless face.

The atmosphere returned to dead silence once again..

“General Fred! Why Don’t you stay and celebrate with us!”

The fox-like man from the Frost Kingdom asked about General Fred in a loud voice, but the people from the steel kingdom left without looking back.

“Enoch…”

Before Joshua presented the award to the Frost Kingdom, he called Enoch who was tidying up the teacups and teapots.

“Mr. Joshua, What’s the matter?”Enoch ran to Joshua and asked.

“Give this to Prince Karos,”Joshua handed Enoch a letter and said.

Although Enoch did not understand what was in the letter, the succubus still obediently ran out of the tavern.

“Next, Congratulations to all of you for winning the championship, the champion of the first competition.”

Joshua turned around and walked in front of the Frost Nation team, personally handing the World Tree’s Crystal to the fox-like man.

“Thank you for your generosity, Joshua Arnold… I feel guilty for taking such a valuable thing without paying any price.”He shook hands with Joshua politely. “The king of our country has always intended to build a good relationship with the demon world. Although His Majesty has always been focused on cleaning up the rebels in the country and has no time to care about the diplomacy of the demon world, so I can represent the frost kingdom to establish a trade relationship with the demon world.”

“It’s a pity that I don’t have the final say in this matter.”Joshua did not intend to continue communicating with this man.

“What a pity. Since this is the first competition, does it mean that there will be a second competition?”He seemed to want to ask Joshua for confirmation.

“Definitely.”

After receiving an affirmative answer from Joshua, he once again exchanged a few pleasantries with Joshua before leaving with his own people. However, the Thunder Crystal was left behind in the Hearthstone Tavern, it seemed that this girl intended to take advantage of this opportunity to play a few rounds of Hearthstone legends before returning.

“Your Highness.”The Dark Elf came to Joshua’s side and watched the group of nobles leave. He said, “You have failed to host this competition.”

“Thousand faces, can you stop complaining about the poor conditions of the competition?”Joshua did not expect that there would be a queen present at the venue.

“I’m talking about diplomatic relations. The outcome of this competition might very well cause problems between the country of steel and the Demon World.”

The Dark Elves looked at the photos of Empress Yekana. That empress must have returned to the Embassy of the country of steel in extreme anger.

Under such a furious situation, the dark elves found it hard to imagine that the Empress would make a decision that would benefit the demon world.

“Thousand faces, I’m not an omniscient and omnipotent God. It’s impossible for me to do everything perfectly.”

Joshua shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness.

“Well… I think it was quite successful.”

Hiri intervened in the conversation between the Dark Elves and Joshua. Although she did not understand the cause and effect of the matter, she had watched the last round of the competition in its entirety.

“Success? Miss Hiri… I don’t think it’s a success to make a queen of a potential ally feel unhappy.”

The Dark Elves viewed the matter from a diplomatic point of view. If the country of steel won in the end, then the Queen’s favorability toward the game might increase even further.

“When you were beaten up by someone while playing the game, your first reaction was to uninstall the game?”

Healy actually wanted to say something like, “You were the one who attracted the Queen’s hatred in the first place, right?”.

However, the black dove did not have any connection with the demon world on the surface. Even if the dark elves attracted the Queen’s hatred, she would be the one to take it on.

“I will find that guy to play another round.”The Dark Elf instantly understood what Healy meant.

“So I think this is what Josh wants to achieve.”

Hiri proudly expressed her thoughts. Then, she looked at Josh and noticed that he was looking at her with a puzzled look. However, soon, Josh came back to his senses and nodded.

“Well… the goal of this competition is to make the various countries pay attention to this magic net game, so that they can start to train players and gradually build a complete professional system…”Josh said.
