Among the Senate, there is no shortage of cunning demons who can interpret a trap from the rules;

However, even if the other party knows there is a trap, they still willingly jump into it!

However, it is not easy for Isabella to throw out bait that is enough to lower the intelligence of the entire Senate. She also knows where the current problem lies:

"Just getting married, the bait is still not big enough. After all, even if someone becomes the Emperor, it does not mean that they have the qualification to immediately grasp the domestic power..."

Regarding this, Sister Glasses gave the suggestion:

"So, we have to increase the stakes even further. Your Majesty can personally issue an imperial edict:

Whoever wins in the arena can become the Emperor of the Empire, and at that time, you will step back from the front line!"

As long as this suggestion is implemented, the nature of the "marriage matchmaking" will completely change.

Previously, Isabella's selection of the Emperor was at most to find a partner for herself, from a political perspective, to find someone to assist her in handling state affairs;

But once the Empress steps back from the front line, the power core of the Dibiles nation will undergo a fundamental transition.

If the demons ultimately win, the Empire will become a paradise for other races, and the people of the country will become second-class citizens;

Similarly, if a male ultimately wins, the Empire will no longer be a purely matriarchal system, and the whole country will seem to become the harem of the winner.

"The risk of this move is indeed great... but it is necessary to take the gamble. Now, there is only one question left."

If it is a person skilled in playing politics, they would think at this time:

Although the bait is laid out on a larger scale now, can't I just back out at the last moment after achieving great success?

Isabella believes:

Some individuals in the Senate are probably thinking the same way, and they should have similar concerns.

To truly dispel the concerns of the cunning demons and then invite the enemy into the trap, Isabella cannot play it safe, she can only seriously raise the stakes.

Only she can make the following decision;

As the Emperor of her country, Isabella thought it over and took out the imperial seal, which is a symbol of imperial power and contains great mystery.

"This is a treasure left by the founding Empress, and within the imperial seal lies the 'oath of the covenant.' It proves the seriousness of this gamble, and nothing could be more appropriate."

The "oath of the covenant" is an extension of "contract magic";

On the Unity Continent, from small agreements between merchants to treaties between countries, they all cannot do without it.

After all, in this age full of lies and tricks, people rarely show their sincerity to each other;

For both parties who make a covenant or agreement, if they want to truly trust each other, they must provide reliable external guarantees. Thus, the "oath of the covenant" came into being.

Here is a similar analogy:

The "oath" is somewhat like "swearing an oath in gambling." Once one party or individual participates in the oath, if they break the commitment they made with their own mouth, they will undoubtedly suffer from the backlash of "contract magic" and successfully trap themselves.

The backlash also has different levels.

For example, what is contained in the imperial seal belongs to a more advanced "oath" and is enough to have an extremely negative impact on Isabella.

Almost every country's imperial seal contains magic of varying strength;

This is also a precious gift left behind by the first emperor or king of each country, in order to facilitate the smooth completion of diplomatic negotiations by their descendants, mainly used to win the trust of outsiders.

The method of taking the oath is very simple. As long as Isabella drips a little of her own blood into the national seal and personally makes a promise, the preparations are considered complete.

At that time, no matter what kind of outcome awaits her, Isabella must accept it without any bargaining.

"I will use the national seal to increase the credibility of the set terms on the day the 'Battle of Brides' officially begins. With such sincerity from the promising party, the Senate will not hesitate to take a risk!"

The plan has been brewed, and now it is time to decide on an official implementation date.

Because the Inran Empire may come knocking on their door soon, it is better to get some things done early.

Sister Glasses has already calculated in her mind:

When will His Majesty implement the plan?

Five days, ten days, fifteen days later?

I hope it won't be too urgent, otherwise, as the sole person responsible for this matter, I will become very exhausted.

Sister Glasses prayed so, but often what you fear is what you get.

"I have made up my mind. There's no better time than now. From today onwards, I want you to prepare for all matters of the 'Battle of Brides'. I hope the first round of matches can be announced by the afternoon!"

As soon as Sister Glasses saw the expression on the Empress's face, she knew His Majesty was not joking, and she became anxious all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. Hurrying can lead to mistakes..."

"I don't want tofu, I only want results! From now on, immediately announce the order to the entire country. Use crystals or any other props to communicate, use whatever means necessary, but make sure it is all notified before noon."

With the help of communication tools, it was not difficult for Sister Glasses to accomplish the task set for her.

But then again:

The Empress's orders were equivalent to giving them a month's worth of work to be completed in one day.

Although they could achieve it by sacrificing their lives, Sister Glasses naturally felt reluctant.

The person involved wanted to evade responsibility a little bit.

Unfortunately, Isabella was Wang Xiaole's apprentice. Although she hadn't learned much from her master, the two of them had one thing in common:

Both were good at playing the role of a "hostage". Just like Wang Xiaole could use cream puffs to motivate the goddess when facing Freya, Isabella also had a clever trick. She only needed to ask in return:

"Don't you want that wonderful territory overlooking the sea, with fresh air and abundant sunshine after you retire?"

After the words fell, the entire bedroom became unusually quiet.

Only the sound of one person's breathing could be heard in the room, and the person standing in front of Sister Glasses seemed to be frozen, vividly portraying the term "dumbstruck".

But this was only temporary. In the next moment, Sister Glasses's gaze immediately became firm. It's unclear whether it was the reflection of the lenses.

"After I grow older, only work can relax my heart... Your Majesty, please don't worry. I will complete the task on time and with quality. Otherwise, I won't eat, drink, or sleep."

"Okay, let's look forward to your work results."

Feather pen pointed to the door, and Sister Glasses who received the instructions immediately retreated. As for Isabella who remained in the bedroom, her expression at the moment was exactly the same as Wang Xiaole's.

But joking aside, deep down she actually trusted Sister Glasses, otherwise she would never have let the other party participate in the execution of the crucial plan;

A person she could trust like this, looking across the country, only one person remains besides Sister Glasses. Before Isabella began writing, she suddenly thought of that person:

"The strong ones in the country will gather one after another. Would the master also... No, no, it's unreasonable for a relationship like that to exist between master and disciple. The master, being such an expert, couldn't possibly join in the excitement of 'fighting for marriage'."

Random thoughts are just random thoughts, shaking them off and letting them go.

The bedroom became quiet again, and the busy people continued their busy work, unconsciously waiting for the most unlikely outcome.
