?That woman’s voice rang out, causing Lathel to return to reality. That voice was extremely easy to listen to, but it carried a kind of authority that made others want to kneel at her feet.
Lathel walked to the chair opposite the woman, then sat down. At this moment, he saw her face clearly.
She had fiery red hair, full lips, and two phoenix-like eyes that carried a fire that seemed to burn everything.
The curves of her body were also extremely perfect, hidden behind her luxurious and noble outfit.
Although Lathel was a little nervous and worried, in his previous life he had also interacted with many people, and he had even met high-ranking leaders.
That’s why, at this moment, he still remained calm, smiled, and said: “This is our first meeting; I am Lathel.”
“I am the Queen…” Catheryne replied softly, her face extremely indifferent, as if Lathel were just an ant.
Lathel took a deep breath and began to speak: “Queen…”
Catheryne put down the teacup in her hand as she looked at him directly, making him worry.
In fact, he had met many people, but no one carried a royal aura like Catheryne.
It made Lathel feel short of breath.
“I’m very busy; do you understand?”
Hearing Catheryne’s words, Lathel swallowed her saliva, then said softly: “I understand; I will definitely not let the Queen down.”
“First, I want to thank the Queen for granting me and Fuxian a marriage contract.”
“Ryne talked a lot about you.” Catheryne spoke with no emotion at all: “I know you very well too, Lathel.”
“Fuxian is the one who will inherit my will and power; I hope she can use her whole mind to lead this empire.”
“However… I can grant you a marriage contract, but I can also revoke it. If you make me feel like you’re not worthy of her, I’m sure you’ll regret existing in this world.”
Hearing that, Lathel shivered as he felt a chill.
“I… I understand.” Lathel nodded in response.
“Good! Tell me why you came here.” Catherine said coldly.
Lathel let out a sigh, then took out from the ‘Storage Space’ an object that looked like a spear, about a metre long.
Catheryne was immediately startled when she saw the object; however, it only lasted a moment, so Lathel could not detect it.
He held that strange object in his hand, smiled, and said: “Queen, this thing is called a ‘Gun’; its power can replace the normal weapons you are using.”
“Hm…” Catheryne frowned, stared at what Lathel was holding, and said softly: “Easy to say, difficult to do.”
Lathel smiled and replied: “Yes, I can demonstrate its power right now. However…”
“I am here; you can perform it naturally.” Catherine said.
Lathel nodded. He took out a target from the ‘Storage Space’ that he had prepared in advance and placed it in a place more than 100 metres away from here.
Catheryne looked at Lathel hastily preparing his demonstration and felt heartbroken.
She, of course, knew Lathel had locked himself in his office for many days to create what he called a ‘gun’.
At first, she thought he would take out some rare item, but she never thought he would take out that horrible weapon.
Although Catheryne doesn’t know why Lathel can make ‘guns’, she believes that he can do anything.
But she still felt heartbroken. She thought in her heart: ‘Lathel… I just want you to happily enjoy life. I don’t want you to have to work this hard.’
After setting up, Lathel stood next to Catheryne, picked up the gun, and began reloading.
Lathel took out a special bullet. Although the shape was similar to normal bullets, it was actually a transparent light elemental stone, with a small light purple spot in the middle.
He loaded the gun with bullets, then pulled the bolt. Through the scope, Lathel could see the target more than 100 metres away from him.
BANG!
Lathel pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out of the barrel with a loud bang, accompanied by white smoke.
The bullet’s speed was extremely terrifying, almost as soon as Lathel pulled the trigger, Catheryne saw the bullet pierce the target in the distance.
No, it’s not right to say it pierced the target; it’s correct to say it broke it.
Lathel then smiled and said: “Queen, that stele is made from extremely sturdy wood; however, just by using this weapon, it was easily penetrated.”
“Also, the attack force was strong enough to cause that aiming target to almost break.”
Although Catheryne knew the power of ‘guns’, she never expected that Lathel could successfully simulate that weapon in this world.
He even made that weapon a bit stronger than the ‘gun’ in her memories.
Catheryne was really surprised, frowned, and said: “A weapon with extremely terrible power. But… compared to advanced magic, it is just an ant.”
“That’s right.” Lathel was not surprised by Catheryne’s comparison. He smiled and asked: “Queen, may I ask a question… When the war breaks out, according to the war treaty, any existence from level 50 or higher can’t interfere, right?”
Hearing that, Catheryne frowned, but she still nodded and said: “That’s right. According to the war convention, the battle will take place between soldiers and ordinary adventurers. Most of their class will be at level 50 or lower.”
“Besides, people with ranks from 51 to 79 will take on the role of the last fighters if the soldiers and adventurers fail.”
“But people with a level of 80 or higher only fight when the war has begun to come to an end.”
Although Lathel did not understand how such a war was fought, he only knew one thing.
He smiled and said: “So… Queen, do you think the armour of soldiers and adventurers lower than level 50 can withstand the power of this gun?”
“You have to try it to know.” Catheryne said as she waved her hand, a suit of armour suddenly appeared in front of the aiming target.
She then motioned for Lathel to begin.
Lathel was not worried at all; he confidently loaded the gun. He did not know the mechanism of modern guns; however, he clearly understood the mechanism of the most primitive type of gun, the rifle.
Although each shot requires reloading, Lathel has improved it a bit, so the reloading process is not too long.
After all, he also possessed the profession ‘Sculpting Master – Rank B’, plus the items ‘Savis’ Sculpting Knife’ and ‘Savis’s Notebook’, so he could easily do it.
Bullets were loaded into the gun, Lathel aimed straight at the armour, then pulled the trigger.
BANG!
A loud explosion rang out, and immediately, the bullet collided with the armour, penetrating it easily.
Lathel saw this scene and nodded with satisfaction.
“It seems… the power of that weapon called a ‘gun’ can only penetrate armor.” Catheryne suddenly spoke up.
“You should know that… in war, there are not only humans but also many other races, even monsters.”
“In particular… the largest numbers are still orcs and lizards. Those are the two races with the thickest skin and the strongest resistance.”
“If your weapon only penetrates their armour but cannot penetrate their thick skin, you will completely fail.”
Lathel was not worried when he heard that. He wanted to meet the Empress to cooperate, and of course he had prepared very carefully.
He nodded and said: “Yes, however… Queen, please take a closer look at that armour.”
Catheryne frowned at Lathel, her heart suddenly pounding, her face slightly red.
Lathel was startled when he saw that and thought to himself: ‘Ack! Did I…did I make her angry?’
‘Aiya, as expected of the Queen, I can’t speak carelessly to her.’
However, in Catheryne’s heart, she thought differently: ‘When Lathel was serious, he was so cool and handsome. The beauty of that confidence makes me really want to hug him.’
‘Awww!!! No, I have to calm down; otherwise, my true identity will be revealed.’
‘But… Lathel is so handsome right now…’
Catheryne took a deep breath, trying to calm down. She waved her hand, and the armour immediately appeared in front of her.
Her beautiful fingers moved like they were dancing. At this moment, the armour suddenly split into pieces, floating in the air.
Lathel saw this scene and secretly dreamed: ‘Wow! I wish I had this kind of magic too; then I could be lazy.’
‘I’ll just sit still, move my hand a little, and I can get what I want.’
Catheryne bit her lip slightly because she felt Lathel staring at her.
‘Lathel… don’t look at me like that; the more you look at me, the more I can’t concentrate.’
‘But… Lathel’s eyes seemed to have fire inside them. Could it be that he saw that I was so beautiful that it stimulated his desire, making him unable to control himself?’
‘OK! If he rushes towards me, what should I do? Should I protest or not?’
‘Or… let’s cooperate with him a little. No, that will make him even more suspicious, and besides… if I cooperate with him, he will think I am an improper woman.’
‘Or… should I scream… call my subordinates to save me? But… that would make Lathel embarrassed; I don’t want that.’
‘AAA!!! What should I do here?’
Catheryne was extremely worried and embarrassed; she didn’t know what to do next. However, Lathel’s gaze made her body heat up, her heart rate increased, and her cheeks turned red like fire.
Lathel suddenly reached out, and Catheryne immediately clutched her shirt.
She’s made up her mind… if she didn’t have that opportunity in her previous life, she won’t miss any opportunity in this life.
Even though she really wanted to use her status as his mother to make him love her.
However… when a person is hungry, they are not picky.
“Lathel, come here; please rape me…”
“Emperess, did you see the explosion inside the armor?” That’s the power of… heh?! Rape you?”
Catheryne: “…”
Lathel: “…”
