Communicating with the Envoy

After thinking carefully, she quickly retrieved it from her memory.

Indeed, on that day, Xia Jin had been in the garden feeding her pet bird when an unfamiliar man suddenly appeared. She had been a bit nervous back then.

Of course, the Xia Jin of that time was not her current self, but the typical innocent hearted princess from before she transmigrated.

Thinking back on her memories, she really was as innocent as could be, a super cute girl. Xia Jin really loved that about her.

“Wait, no, I am her, aren’t I? After all, our souls have merged.”

Thinking of this, Xia Jin silently mocked herself.

...

“Regrettably, sir, I am not very familiar with you.”

Facing the man’s expectant gaze, she replied quite casually.

Trying to get close at a time like this... heaven knows if he had ulterior motives. After all, the two sides were in a state of hostility.

Hearing Xia Jin’s answer, the man couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.

“I have come today on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Dawn Empire, hoping to discuss certain matters with you.”

“The matter of the war? There is nothing to talk about,” Xia Jin said with a shrug. “If I hadn't happened to be nearby, I wouldn't have even considered meeting you. And don't forget, it was your Empire that refused to negotiate in the first place.”

“My deepest apologies. The blocking of your ambassador back then was the personal action of certain officials. Now, His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order that no official shall ever block negotiations between our two sides again.”

“Tsk, you’re quite good at shifting the blame. Would those subordinates really dare to block us for no reason without his authorization? Do you really think I know nothing about your people?” Xia Jin curled her lip, then quickly changed the subject. “However, I no longer have any interest in negotiations. Since the fighting has already started, let’s see which side is stronger. We can talk again once the results are clear.”

The man smiled.

In truth, he didn't know what to discuss either. The Emperor’s intent was merely for him to meet this Princess, talk about some issues, and gather some intelligence along the way. While there was room for him to improvise, he was absolutely not permitted to request a ceasefire on his own authority.

Perhaps the Emperor’s real thought was to see if they could build some rapport and convince the Zerg to surrender unilaterally.

But on second thought, he dismissed it. If such a thing could happen, it would be a miracle, wouldn't it?

Judging from the battles on the front lines, the Dawn Empire’s advantage was not large at all. Several of their vassal states had even been occupied by the Zerg. Unless they dealt a heavy blow to the other side, it was impossible to make this Queen yield.

At this moment, facing the young girl, the man who had served as an important diplomatic official in the Empire from a young age found it difficult to remain calm.

No matter how one looked at her, this Princess was simply too captivating.

Legends told of kings in ancient times who started wars for the sake of a beautiful woman.

He hadn't believed it before, but now... if he were a king, he might truly be willing to start a war just to have Xia Jin.

Because she was truly too perfect. Even words used to describe a succubus could hardly capture the feeling she gave off now.

A succubus gave off a sense of seduction, but the Queen was the exact opposite. She possessed a very pure attraction, as if her own innocence and beauty had suppressed all traces of lust.

Yet, it was precisely because of this that her beauty was even more maddening.

This was definitely not a look that belonged in the mortal realm. Was this Queen the Goddess of Beauty descended to earth?

“Sir, it seems you have nothing left to say, so let us part ways here. I suggest you stop wandering around my territory. It wouldn't be good if you were caught in the crossfire.”

Feeling a bit annoyed by his staring, Xia Jin directly asked him to leave.

The man gave a silent sigh and bowed slightly to her before departing.

He truly couldn't find a reason to stay any longer, even though he really wanted to take a serious look at this Queen and speak a few more words with her.

After all, that glimpse from over two years ago had left him with a sense of wonder that had never faded.

Seeing her again now, he realized the beauty in his memory was not a dream.

The Zerg Queen was indeed as perfect as he remembered. In fact, as she had grown older, she was even more attractive than before.

With a trace of distraction, the man left.

He felt like he could go back and write a book.

The title would be: 《What Is It Like to Admire the Leader of an Enemy Nation?》

...

The man left, and Xia Jin never even asked for his name.

It didn't matter anyway; he was just an ordinary envoy.

Besides, the purpose of his arrival felt a bit strange.

On the day after their exchange, the man returned to the Emperor.

He reported the basic situation, but out of his own selfishness, he didn't mention that he had met Xia Jin personally. He only stated that he had gathered some intelligence.

“Oh? The governance is good? That doesn't sound like the style of a demon.”

Hearing this, the Emperor himself was somewhat surprised.
