What?
All the ministers broke into an uproar when they heard that.
Even the Empress' body trembled; she thought she had misheard her sister.
'She wants to call off the engagement?!'
'That is ridiculous. Even though the Oracles claimed that Darryl had harmed Oracle Cynthia, that is merely hearsay. It has yet to be proven. How can she call off the engagement with Darryl now?'
"Sister!"
A few seconds later, the Empress regained her thoughts; she said patiently, "Don't act recklessly. Don't simply call off the engagement before we find out the truth!"
'Their engagement is known across the Nine Mainland. She will be the laughing stock if she calls it off.'
"Sister!" Quincy bit her lips; she was nervous. "Why are you still siding with Darryl? That man is a wild and despicable person. He had disrespected Lady Chang Er, and he created chaos in the North Moana royal city. The entire nine continents were aware of that!
"Even if someone had framed him for all those matters, the Oracles had confirmed the latest incident. How could they be wrong? I don't want to have any relationship with a person like that, even if I have to die."
Quincy was really emotional when she said that. Her engagement to Darryl had already been very dramatic. She had agreed to the arrangement to retain the royal family's reputation, and the Empress had urged her into that decision. Even if her opinion of Darryl had improved, the latest allegations by the two oracles had entirely ruined it.
'Darryl had harmed and caused the death of a Nine Saint Oracle; my reputation is completely tarnished as his fiancée.'
That…
The Empress bit her lips when she heard that; she was struggling in her heart.
She knew that her sister was stubborn, and it was difficult to change her mind after she had made a decision. However, the engagement was linked to the reputation of the South Cloud World royal family; it was very difficult for her to decide.
The Empress spoke gently, "Sister, please reconsider—"
