I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 498 Return to Paradise City

Bai Ye had made many contributions before. Although she seemed to have played no role in the final battle, her reputation in the military was much higher than Sean's.

Her Royal Highness the Princess said solemnly, "Your Highness, if you really want to help, please go and help the wounded and the victims. You don't need to worry about the military affairs."

Sean looked her up and down with a dangerous look on his face: "Cousin, is it your turn to speak now?"

Bai Ye just snorted coldly: "Why, as a princess of the empire and an important member of the military, I don't even have the right to speak?"

Just as Sean was about to refute, a senior general among the wounded dragged his seriously injured body to Bai Ye's side.

"Your Highness, we are ready to accept your orders at any time!"

Most of the high-ranking officials such as marshals and generals have died, the soldiers are leaderless and morale is low. Sean's arrival made this group of people very angry. Now when they see Bai Ye, they immediately feel like they have found their backbone.

Bai Ye nodded and looked at Xiao En calmly: "Your Highness, I told you that it is not your turn to manage the military."

Sean just glanced at her viciously, then looked at the soldiers and sneered, "Why, the empire hasn't had an empress in all these years, are you crazy?"

"Please watch your words, Your Highness!" Bai Ye was angry.

But the senior general shouted, "This has nothing to do with you, Your Highness. The remaining troops of the army are now at the disposal of Your Highness the Princess. Brothers, don't you agree?"

This group of soldiers had long disliked Sean, and now that they had a reason, they naturally started shouting in unison.

Moreover, Her Royal Highness the Princess is ten or a hundred times stronger than this wanted criminal no matter how you look at it.

The crowd was in an uproar, and Sean, who had wanted to use his righteousness to pressure them, was overwhelmed by the general trend. In the end, he could only snort coldly, utter a few harsh words casually, and left.

Seeing him leave, the soldiers cheered provocatively.

The Red Angel Zhuola followed Sean and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, I understand what you mean, but it seems unnecessary to be so hasty and abrupt?"

Sean, who had a sinister look just now, now has a leisurely expression: "People who know the inside story feel anxious and stiff, but how can ordinary people know? The rules of the empire still need to be implemented. Some things cannot be torn apart and discussed."

Zhuora nodded thoughtfully: "Are you worried about those nobles and high officials?"

Sean said leisurely, "They don't deserve my worry, but the empire needs them to continue running. Now that my foster father won't intervene, some people will have some ideas. Instead of dragging it out, it's better to let Bai Ye take power directly. She is much more legitimate than me."

"I understand. However, your method is really... direct and rough."

Xiao En said with a smile: "Sister Zhuola, I am different from them. I can have fame and face at any time, and not having these things is just a thought. But Bai Ye needs to inherit the throne legitimately. When those masters see my every move, the scales in their hearts will immediately put weight on it."

"One is the vicious and cruel prince who doesn't care about food or meat, and the other is the legitimate and harmless princess. Anyone with a discerning eye can see which one is easier to control. Moreover, in order to prevent me from doing something desperate, they will immediately find Bai Ye, and they will be together for a short time."

Zhuola asked curiously: "With your current strength, it seems that you don't need to worry about these?"

Sean shrugged. "Indeed, but don't you think that letting a society continue to operate in its original form is the truth of world development?"

"is it?"

Sean laughed: "Sister Zhuola, you are quite cute - of course not. I can blow away the lives of countless gentlemen in one breath, but I can't pull the wounded out of the ruins one by one, and I can't distribute supplies to the victims in person. I just help Bai Ye to integrate it, as for what happens next..."

He blinked, "Your Highness the Princess is not in a good position right now."

……

"Hehe, that Sean is not a good guy. You all should know what he is thinking." In the temporary tent, Bai Ye sat in the first seat and said this to the high-ranking officials and nobles who had rushed over.

"Your Highness is right. Please rest assured that we will cooperate with your subordinates in the aftermath of the city." The leader was one of the speakers. He folded his hands at the moment, with a flattering look on his face.

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded majestically, and after discussing for a while, he sent this group of people out.

When she returned to the tent, she smoothed her long hair and asked softly, "Have you investigated everything?"

The shadow squirmed out of the shadows and said, "Yes, Your Highness. In accordance with the information given by Lord Sean, we have recorded all the nobles and high-ranking officials who hid during the war, including their secret manors, exits from the city, and their family members. All have been figured out."

Bai Ye nodded calmly: "Let them be busy first. When the cleanup work in the imperial capital is finished, we can make some noise. Then... the victims will riot. We will get rid of the leaders first, and then the others..."

There was a flash of coldness in her eyes: "After I succeed to the throne, I will personally send them off."

"Yes, Your Highness." Shadow accepted the order calmly, and then continued, "Master Sean took Miss Qiong Ying, Miss Xiao Ci and others back to Paradise City. He said he had something to do, and he told you to handle it."

A look of helplessness flashed across his face, but Bai Ye quickly adjusted his mood.

Inheriting the throne is a foregone conclusion, and now she has to hold herself to the standards of an empress.

"Okay, I understand. By the way, have our people keep an eye on him. If they find the emperor's uncle, tell him that I have something to discuss with him and ask him to return to the city."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Bai Ye pulled open the curtain of the tent and saw that the once prosperous imperial capital was now in ruins.

She sighed deeply, and then her eyes became determined again.

Next, the empire will undergo earth-shaking changes in my hands...

……

"Qiongying, Sean, Endeli and the others are back." There was a knock on the door, and Dean Latiya's voice sounded helpless and shy.

Inside the room, Qiong Ying immediately stood up. She glanced at Sean with anger and picked up the clothes scattered under the bed.

Sean stretched comfortably and then stood up to open the door.

"Sean! The teacher is outside!" Qiong Ying shouted angrily. This guy didn't even have clothes on.

Not sure if he forgot or did it on purpose, Sean scratched his head, put on some clothes and walked to the door with a smile.

He took his men back to Paradise City first, but they had not yet reached Endely. It was probably because there were too many people and they were delayed by various things on the way.

Opening the bedroom door, he greeted Latiya: "Hey, Dean, why did you come here in person?"

How could Latiya not know what these two were doing?

In broad daylight... She glared at Sean in embarrassment.

She tried not to notice Qiong Ying, who was only half dressed and looked embarrassed, and cleared her throat: "They are at the city gate."

Sean yawned. "Then let them in."

Latia frowned: "Have you forgotten the rules of Paradise City?"

Sean suddenly realized: "Oh, right, foreign population needs to draw lots and be tested. OK, I'll go take a look."
