The next day, Iris woke up early and saw Yar lying beside her. Yar's eyelashes trembled slightly, her lips were invitingly red, and there was a faint pink blush on her cheeks.

"Ah~" Iris sighed, then cursed, "Chaos, you really are a Your Majesty bastard! Poqi killed the king, and Yar needs care. All the bad things fall on my head." Iris stuffed Yar's arm into the quilt and then left the room herself, neatly dressed.

"You can't say that. Without me, where would you be today?" Chaos's voice echoed in her mind.

"Tsk~" Iris pouted and said, "If I help you get the key, would you possess my body?"

"Take over your body? Hahaha!" Chaos laughed heartily and then said, "Blood Clan girl, your imagination is on par with Yar's, except that Yar's imagination is about things that are too indecent. If I wanted to possess your body, I could have done it when you were a child. Why wait until you grow up to do these things? And when did I say I wanted to possess your body?" Chaos's words sounded rational, and Iris couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Seeing Iris agreeing with him, Chaos continued, "Not to mention that your body is too weak. Even if your body could rival my previous one, I still wouldn't bother possessing it. Your body has become completely feminine, like a little girl, which is not suitable for me. Moreover, a female body has a flaw that cannot be avoided." Chaos bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of this body.

"A flaw? What flaw?" Iris asked curiously. Apart from the physiological differences, were there other obvious flaws?

"You will experience it." Chaos's tone carried a mysterious hint, as if implying that something would happen.

"How did you frame me for Grandmother's death? Why did you do this? If you don't tell me, I won't help you find the key." Iris questioned, wanting to know the cause and effect of this incident and Chaos's thoughts at the time.

"Of course, it was when you were sleeping with Yali. I manipulated your body and implanted the dark red edges into her body, then killed Yali to frame you. Who would have thought that your grandmother had already suffered organ failure, an incurable disease? She would have died three years later. So I used the dark red edges to suppress the pain of organ failure and let her leave this world peacefully. As it turns out, the final result was within my expectations." Chaos said calmly.

Upon hearing Chaos's words, Iris couldn't help but clench her fists. "Why did you do this?"

"Why? Why do you ask?" Chaos's low voice carried a hint of anger. "I took care of you for eleven years. Lilia took you away from me with the first embrace and forced you to call her 'Mother superior.' I couldn't swallow this. If Lilia truly cared about you, these things may not have happened. Maybe I would have taken out the dark red edges during the New Year. Lilia is not a qualified mother. You were her first embrace, essentially her own child. Although you were rebellious when you were first embraced, that rebellious spirit had long since disappeared over time. Lilia, as your mother, could have used her own blood to make your blood wings develop a second time, but she didn't. Later, when Yali died, Lilia's immediate reaction was to accuse you. She never even considered your motives or the fact that you stayed in the room quietly practicing after killing someone. Lilia has no trust in you, and as Yali's daughter, she didn't even check her mother's body. Lilia is unworthy of being a mother, and she is unfilial."

Every word and every sentence spoken by Chaos was crystal clear, as if explaining an undeniable truth that reached deep into the heart.

Iris didn't argue, because deep down in her subconscious, she felt that everything Chaos said was true.

Suddenly, Iris found the key point in Chaos' words and teased, "Are you jealous? Are you envious of Lilia?"

"No! How could I, the mighty Demon Emperor, be jealous of her? Don't be ridiculous," Chaos denied, but his voice revealed obvious panic and guilt.

"Hmph, who would believe that?" Iris pouted. She didn't believe for a second that Chaos wasn't jealous. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said things like, "I took care of you for eleven years, and then Lilia snatched you away. I can't swallow this."

It's ridiculous for the mighty Demon Emperor to be jealous and compete with Lilia.

To take care of Chaos' emotions, Iris didn't plan to expose this fact, so she said, "Let's go find the key in a while."

"The key is a special item. Once you find it, I will tell you about its uniqueness," Chaos said and fell silent again.

Iris finally understood Chaos' thoughts. It turned out that he didn't care about this physical body at all. But what did he mean by saying that the female body would have defects?

Iris couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to think about it. So she walked towards the great hall.

On the great hall, there were only a few people, which was much better than before.

Iris walked straight to the seat of Your Majesty and sat down.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," everyone in the hall bowed to Iris.

"You may rise," Iris said indifferently. She glanced around and inadvertently saw Lilia peeking her head out at the entrance of the hall, staring at her without blinking.

"Saifen, how are the trainees doing?" Iris asked casually.

"Your Majesty, Jack and Arka have already withdrawn. The training intensity has only increased," Saifen respectfully replied.

"Continue to increase the intensity and volume. The weak have no right to stay!"

"Yes," Saifen nodded to show compliance.

"Why didn't Victor come today? Why did he let you, Leina, come instead?" Iris suddenly asked.

"R-turn, Your Majesty, Lady Sister was attacked by a bad person and her injuries... are serious. Father is taking care of her, so I'm here to represent him," Leina stuttered. It was evident that it was her first attendance, and her language was a bit disjointed and intermittent.

"Did they catch the culprit? What does the person look like?" Iris inquired further.

"No, Lady Sister saw the culprit, but she refuses to say. She just says it's for atonement and doesn't want us to get involved," Leina replied.

"Atonement? What kind of atonement?" Iris raised an eyebrow, wondering if it was Lessi and Xue Youyue seeking revenge on Ilyana. This speculation seemed highly possible since Lessi and Xue Youyue had been humiliated by Ilyana in the past, so revenge was only natural.

"I will have someone keep an eye on them. We will not allow any danger. I understand Victor's feelings as a father, so I will let him accompany Ilyana during this time," Iris said slowly after a moment of silence.

"Thank you, Master, Your Majesty," Leina replied, still unable to change her address. She answered with some fear.

Lilia stood at the door, looking at Iris sitting on the throne and couldn't help but exclaim, "Iris looks so handsome, full of majesty."

Standing next to Iris, Lanzu looked at her sister in the distance and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. However, Lanzu wore a mask, so outsiders couldn't see it.

"The court session ends here today, Lena, come with me," Iris stood up and gave a clear order, with an unquestionable tone.

After the court session ended, Lilia went to find Aria to learn pronunciation. Although Lilia had regained her memory about Iris, her language function still had some issues.

...

Iris brought Lena to a pavilion and sat down on a stone bench.

"Lena, how is your practice with warlock magic?" Iris asked.

"Master, I am slow-witted and have not mastered any palaces so far. Only the speed of opening the layout has increased a bit," Lena honestly confessed.

"Study diligently, and you will become skillful," Iris patted her shoulder and encouraged her.

"Master, please rest assured. I will never disappoint you." With these words, Lena bowed and left the pavilion.

During the time in Cloud Palace, it took Iris only a week to quickly open the layout, while it took Lena nearly four times as long to increase the speed of opening the layout.

Iris taught Lena according to the way Meng Zhang had taught her, but the gap between them was too obvious. It seemed that when Meng Zhang helped Iris awaken, he also gave her a shortcut, allowing Iris to master all warlock magic in just two and a half years.

"When we meet again, I must thank Auntie properly." Suddenly, Iris thought of the things she had stolen from Auntie and immediately changed her mind.

"Forget it, let's wait for Auntie to forget about those things." Iris waved her hand and decided not to mention it for now.

...

At this moment, Yar slowly opened her eyes, thinking about the scene of Lord Mage Emperor holding her as they slept together last night, causing her to blush. She buried her face in the pillow that Lord Mage Emperor had slept on, deeply inhaling his unique scent.

Yar's face was filled with a sweet and happy smile, and she began to envision a beautiful future, as if she already possessed the whole world.

Then, Yar sat up and took out an item from her body.

Using cleansing magic, Yar cleaned the item thoroughly and wrapped it gently in silk before placing it into an exquisite box.

This was the first gift that Lord Mage Emperor had given her, and Yar naturally wanted to cherish it.

With a joyful face, Yar closed the box, tidied up her belongings, and happily returned to her own room.

She started to make life-sized dolls and pillows that resembled Iris, because that was how Lord Mage Emperor currently looked, and Yar wanted to keep up with his style.

Fifteen minutes later, Candace entered Iris' sleeping chamber. Every time at this moment, she would come to tidy up Her Majesty the Queen's room, as it was her duty as the head maid.

Accidentally, she noticed a wet patch on the bedsheet and curiously picked it up with her fingers, finding that it was a bit sticky.

Candace showed a loving smile, muttering to herself, "Our Empress is growing up." She cleaned Iris' room and left.
