Chapter 450: Imperial Princess
Ingrid came to the Deman Hotel because Mu Hua moved all the students who were not dead in the academy to the hotel. The huge hotel lobby can't be said to be like a morgue, but it also looks like a big bunk bed.
It was a bit annoying to see so many people lying on the ground. They were just sleeping and had no injuries or illnesses. Mu Hua simply asked Wednesday to decorate the first floor lobby into an illusion.
When Ingrid saw Mu Hua, he seemed to be telling Helen something. It was not until Deman reminded him that Mu Hua looked at Ingrid and his party who broke into the hotel.
"Your Majesty, Ingrid brought greetings from the imperial family. You can call me Ingrid. It's an honor to meet you." When she came close to Mu Hua, Ingrid was very low, so low that Mu Hua felt a little uncomfortable.
This was a tall woman over 1.8 meters tall, fair, beautiful, and fit. Her gentle and sexy hairstyle could not hide the wildness hidden in her eyebrows.
"You should be the princess, right? Your Majesty, the title is a bit too much. Mu Hua, you can call me Mu." When Mu Hua said this, because Ingrid was curtseying with her skirt lifted, Mu Hua restrained his subconscious handshake.
"Your Majesty is too modest. The royal family does not need to hold a sword, so the prince practices politics, but the princess is different. We have been practicing since childhood. In essence, we are not nobles, and only princesses who introduce excellent genes to the royal family can become princesses."
"In the Penelope incident, the empire has a lot of negligence and omissions. Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite. I bring the empire's apology and hope to discuss with you in detail about the situation in Caines City." Ingrid's expression showed a little guilt, and she said calmly.
In Ingrid's words, the first half of the sentence and the second half are somewhat inconsistent. She talked too much about the princess and the royal family, and mentioned too little about Penelope.
The statement of introducing excellent genes for the royal family was somewhat meaningful, but her expression was very natural, as if it was a simple explanation. Helen beside Mu Hua looked her up and down, but in her impeccable smile, she could not see the reason.
At the round table in the garden in the illusion, Mu Hua asked someone to bring tea and snacks to Ingrid, and they sat opposite each other. Behind Ingrid stood a waiter with a long sword on his waist. There were two demons standing on the left and right of Mu Hua, but they were Tina and Helen.
After a simple greeting, Mu Hua knew that Ingrid was the plenipotentiary representative sent by the Empire to Canes City. Mu Hua and Ingrid reached a consensus on the Empire's "modification" of the Penelope incident.
Mu Hua said that he would no longer interfere in the affairs of Canes City, but Ingrid did not comment on this.
"Your Majesty, you know the situation in Canes City best." When Ingrid said, Mu Hua interrupted.
"No, Princess, I'm only familiar with the situation in the small town. I haven't even been to the new city area."
"Okay, okay, at least for the time being, no one knows the current situation in Caines City better than you." Ingrid spread her hands, not wanting to argue with Mu Hua.
Mu Hua is easier to communicate with than Ingrid imagined. Unlike the politicians she had seen, he is confident, informal, arrogant, and has a very standard adventurer's mindset, which makes Ingrid more relaxed.
"Your Majesty, you have touched jealousy, and now you also need a place to stay. The Empire intends to assign the Caines area to your territory."
"The Empire will not take the initiative to intervene in the governance of the territory, but you must ensure that this area has an environment suitable for ordinary people to live." Ingrid looked into Mu Hua's eyes, trying to guess Mu Hua's mentality from his expression.
"Hehe, eating the Empire's food, you won't be unable to get out of it unscathed, right?" Mu Hua joked, Ingrid chuckled and shook her head, but directly ignored Mu Hua's "joke".
"I need you to explain the concept of territory. You must know that many people in the town have become ghosts. I am friends with them. I don't want to hurt them. I will even provide them with necessary protection. Most of the industries in the town belong to them." Mu Hua said to Ingrid.
"Hehe, I am very glad that you are a kind ghost." Ingrid's face flashed with relief, and her eyes showed just the right respect.
"It's best if you can think like this. The ghosts here are very special. The empire will not cancel their citizenship. Personal property is sacred and inviolable, so the empire will not allow anyone to plunder the private property of these ghosts during their lifetime."
"I may stay here permanently in the future. This represents the attitude of the empire. The empire needs a member of the royal family to prove that the empire will not give up on them."
"Of course, we can slowly discuss the placement of ghosts later, but for safety reasons, if there are uncontrollable existences among these ghosts, it is also necessary to clean them up." Ingrid answered irrelevant questions. Mu Hua was silent, waiting for her to continue.
"Regarding the rights and obligations of the lord..." Ingrid pretended to think.
"As an imperial lord, you enjoy the same power as other nobles. Under the premise of abiding by the laws of the empire, 50% of the taxes in the territory will be at your disposal."
"Unlike most nobles, because of your special nature, you have the power to dominate the appointment and dismissal of personnel in the territory, but the laws and regulations in the territory must be synchronized with the empire. I hope you can understand."
"At the same time, the issue of household registration in Caines City must be reviewed by me in the future." Staring at Mu Hua's eyes, seeing that Mu Hua did not show any disgust, Ingrid sighed slightly.
"Alas~~, you are special. I have to say that you are the source of jealousy."
"Just like the undead, the reason why they are judged as apostles of jealousy is not that they are the embodiment of jealousy. In my opinion, it is more because they will inevitably arouse the jealousy of other creatures."
"Even though most people have a certain contempt for undead creatures, as undead, their lifespans will still make countless creatures subconsciously jealous and envious." Ingrid sighed.
"And the ghosts born because of you can even be understood as the continuation of life to a large extent."
"Even if ghosts have fatal flaws, even if they may face dementia and madness, generally speaking, there will probably be countless dying people who want to come to your side, not to mention that you have a cursed spirit by your side." Ingrid's eyes flashed with taboo.
"So, in the future, it will be impossible for people to enter and exit this area recklessly. I will supervise the entry and household registration affairs of Caines City in the future."
"Of course, I will respect your opinion to a certain extent. I think this can be regarded as solving a lot of trouble for you, right?" Ingrid confirmed Mu Hua's attitude.
"Yeah." Mu Hua nodded. He did not object to Ingrid's statement, and he did not want a large number of irrelevant people to flock to him and wait for death.
They came with a clear purpose, and humans are very good at playing moral kidnapping. There are many such idle people. If many things are not handled properly, they may attract criticism from the outside world.
It is better to establish some rules early. With Ingrid helping him guard the "gate", the so-called immigration and naturalization affairs can be regarded as complying with the policies of the empire.
For Mu Hua now, ghosts can be found all over the world, and there is no need to let a group of living people who are not dead yet run to his head to make trouble for him.
"I don't object to your supervision, but at present, in the new city area, including the students in the academy, there are many ghosts in the outside world who have families, and you also need to deal with those people." Mu Hua said to Ingrid.
Ghosts are not troublesome. If the Caines area is blocked, Mu Hua can make them disappear in a short time. The real trouble is the families of those ghosts, especially those who are not in Caines City.
My relatives and children are alive and well, but they are suddenly attacked by demons. If they are really dead, it's okay. Come forward to compensate and put all the blame on the demons. After ten days and a half, the matter will be over.
In the end, they didn't die completely, but turned into ghosts. In this case, their families would be in trouble.
Mu Hua didn't even want to get involved in this kind of thing, and he had no ability to deal with it. Thinking of the chaos in his mind, Mu Hua had no other thoughts except killing a lot. (End of this chapter)
