I Want to Truly Stand by Your Side Too, a War of Subjugation?

A mere Dragon Lords?

Lainas's eyelids twitched. Even though their interactions over this period of time had made her deeply aware of the girl in front of her who was used to seeing everything.

It was indeed a monster that surpassed all her knowledge and imagination.

But to say something like "just a mere Dragon Lords" is unacceptable.

Lainas took a deep breath. Her nerves, which had barely adapted after a few days of contact, twitched again, and she felt a strange dizziness.

"Yes."

Lainas stood upright with her shapely and powerful legs, responding to the orders while subconsciously glancing at Tang Zheng, as if confirming something.

The owner appeared completely normal.

That is to say, the casual and arrogant tone of this monster girl named Zesshi, who said "Should we kill the Dragon Lords?", was true.

She knew this girl was very strong, but just how strong?

As a powerful figure in the "Hero Realm," Lainas felt utterly powerless and had no way of knowing the truth.

And now.

It can be confirmed at least that the monster girl is stronger than the Dragon Lords, and not only that, her master is probably at the same level.

... Unbelievable.

But considering that the master could produce a potion to enhance his strength, it didn't seem so surprising.

I'd say that only this way is normal!

Is this really a field that can be reached through talent and hard work alone?

Lainas bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

"Lainas."

"Yes?"

"Thanks a lot."

When Lainas saw Tang Zheng's usual gentle smile, her eyelashes fluttered, and her deep blue eyes shone brightly and passionately.

"It's what I should do, Master."

Snap!

Lainas suddenly clenched her left fist, raised it to her chest, and said earnestly on her bright face:

"Under the Radiance of Glory and loyalty."

"I, Leinas Rockbruise, have long ago sworn a knightly oath, dedicating my heart, courage, and life to your honor and Glory."

The same vow.

The original Knight's Oath, though containing different meanings at different times and in different circumstances, carries different deeper meanings.

That vow, then, carries a certain degree of "pleading."

As soon as he finished speaking!

Lainas bowed again, then turned and left with slightly heavy steps.

A woman's sixth sense or intuition.

In fact, Lainas had already vaguely sensed that Tang Zheng possessed a hidden loneliness.

This is also related to her experiences: betrayal by her family, being jilted by her fiancé, and searching for a cure alone while suffering from a cursed, rotting face.

Our contact during this period.

Lainas suddenly noticed that the "loneliness" in her master seemed to have disappeared somewhat.

Is it because of that monster girl?

A true person who can stand with their master and walk alongside them.

.-. Can.

I also want to truly stand by your side!

Lainas's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she strode away with her eyelashes lowered.

-Royal City "Ro-Lente Castle"

Built on a hill, the complex consists of more than twenty interconnected circular towers and is protected by double walls, making it an ancient architectural complex that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this moment, the outsider easily broke through!

A massive shadow flew over the chaotic Royal Capital and, amidst cries of alarm, landed on the lawn in the central area of Royal City.

With a whoosh, the dragon's wings flapped casually, and a howling wind swept around, scattering the various exotic flowers and plants carefully cultivated on the lawn.

Along with the statues, fountains, and other buildings, they were also destroyed. "Ah!"

"Ah!

What followed was a chorus of screams.

Some of the guards stationed there didn't even have time to react before they were thrown away by the shockwave generated by the Dragon Lords's descent, crashing to the ground and against the distant walls.

A sudden and unexpected disaster.

Before the soldiers guarding the place could even feel anger, their fear turned into a chilling terror.

Dragon!

The legendary dragon appeared vividly before them.

"I am a permanent councilor, representing the Council State on a mission to your Kingdom of Ri-Yestize."

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord, with his long, slender neck covered in azure scales, arrogantly raised his head and said, "Summon your king."

As an envoy sent to another country, he barged into the Royal City of that country without presenting any request for an audience, and even demanded that the king of that country come to see him.

This is no longer a matter of etiquette.

It's a severe humiliation, potentially leading to war between the two countries!

But would the Kingdom dare?

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord, with his amber-colored vertical pupils, looked down disdainfully at the panicked swarm of ants below, then looked up towards a certain direction in the Royal City.

An innate ability to sense treasure.

It enables it to discover the locations where gold coins and treasures are stored in the Royal City.

"What a pity."

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord suppressed his desire to seize these treasures and regretfully withdrew his gaze.

In the luxurious palace corridors.

"His Majesty--"

"His Majesty!"

"Father!" A panicked cry rang out.

Queen Ramposa III, with her thin frame, stumbled and nearly fell to the ground, but fortunately, the eldest prince and Gazef beside her reacted quickly.

He quickly grabbed Ramposa III's arm, thus avoiding making a fool of himself in front of everyone.

Where's Renner?

Ramposa III regained her balance, raised her hand to gently touch the crown on her head, and spoke with a relatively composed expression:

"That girl Lakyus, is here too. Tell her to come along."

"Father, I've already sent a maid to inform them," the second prince Zanac, replied in a low, serious voice, his plump cheeks twitching slightly.

Ramposa III nodded.

He turned to look at the group of nobles behind him who looked panicked and at a loss, his eyes filled with worry as he gripped his scepter tightly.

He was far from being as calm as he appeared; however, as a king, in this situation, even if he had to feign composure, he absolutely could not show the slightest sign of panic.

"Let's go!"

Queen Ramposa III took a deep breath and took a step forward. "Let's go see this Dragon Lords."

I've just reached the end of the corridor.

Princess Renner and two dazzlingly beautiful young women, Lakyus, were already waiting at the exit.

Both were dressed in white evening gowns, which would have attracted everyone's attention at any other time, but now...

The air was thick with fear and pressure.

Even the most carefree person...

They probably weren't in the mood to appreciate it either.

When King Ramposa III met Princess Renner, a complex expression appeared on his face. He opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

The appearance of this Dragon Lords must be related to Renner's mission to the Council State some time ago!

A group of people remained silent.

Arriving at the garden lawn, which looked as if it had been swept by a storm and was badly damaged, the nobleman was very good at scheming, especially as a king, whose acting skills and ability to hide his emotions were innate talents.

"Your Excellency Dragon Lords's Envoy, on behalf of the Kingdom, I first welcome your arrival."

Ramposa III began with a calm and relaxed demeanor, bowing slightly in greeting:

"Please allow me to introduce myself. I am the King of the Kingdom Ri Yesteje, Lambusa Khalid Elsas Lyle Vansef."

Dragons are a proud race.

Using his aristocratic status to intimidate others was completely ineffective, so he adopted a humble approach to win favor.

"I've already explained that."

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord was getting impatient, and the Dragon Fear that unconsciously emanated from him made Ramposa III's shoulders tremble a few times.

"Let me repeat myself."

"I am Svilia Melonsilk, a permanent councilor, representing the Council State on behalf of your Kingdom of Ri Yestege."

Inferior, weak humans should not be worthy of knowing its name, but the other party is the king, and there are orders from Platinum Dragon Lord.

"Your Excellency, Dragon Lords's Envoy, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Ramposa III nodded first, indicating that she understood, then looked up, her face slightly pale, and asked:

"Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

Although the Dragon Lords had already introduced himself, Ramposa III did not address him by his name directly, but instead referred to him as "Your Excellency, Envoy of the Dragon Lords."

"You humans are always lazy in your work."

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord lowered his head, casting a shadow over Ramposa III, and glanced at Princess Renner and the other nobles standing behind him. "When exactly are you going to launch your war of conquest against the Empire?"

Once you say that!

The air fell silent instantly.

The nobles and others from the Kingdom all wore expressions of astonishment.

"A war of conquest?"

For the first time, Queen Ramposa III showed a look of panic, raising her head in complete bewilderment and hurriedly explaining, "Your Excellency the Dragon Lords's Envoy, there is no such thing as launching a punitive expedition against the Empire."

Princess Renner's mission to the Council State was intended to deter the more powerful empire from taking drastic measures and to curb any potential retaliation from the empire.

From the very beginning.

Neither King Ramposa III nor the nobles expected Princess Renner to succeed.

The significance of "being sent as an envoy to Council State" lies in the word "envoy"; the act itself is sufficient.

Who would have thought!

Princess Renner really did it, reaching an alliance agreement with the Council State, a surprise that exceeded everyone's expectations.

Although most nobles still do not believe that the Council State truly considers the Kingdom an ally, there is an "alliance agreement" in place.

The Kingdom will never again fear the empire's invasion!

That's right!

Whether successful or not, the Kingdom's purpose is merely to defend against the empire's invasion; as for conquering the empire?

Stop joking.

Tired of a life of extravagance and debauchery?

After speaking, Ramposa III turned to Renner in a panic, wanting to confirm whether Renner had made any promises.

result.

I saw Renner looking completely bewildered.

"Your Excellency Dragon Lords's Envoy, there was indeed no plan to launch a punitive expedition." King Ramposa III breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and explained again.

While we were talking!

Ramposa III raised her withered arm and shook her wrist.

Ding-dong~

A bell, imbued with a faint magic, rang out.

Soon, a group of maids who had been arranged to wait came up from the back corridor carrying dazzling trays made of gold.

Each gold tray is adorned with priceless gems!

Everyone knows that dragons are attracted to glittering treasures, so Ramposa III had naturally made preparations before his arrival.

"There may be some misunderstanding here," the Dragon Lords's envoy apologized profusely, "These magic gems are our apology to you."

Ramposa III spoke cautiously and softly.

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord narrowed his dragon eyes, a hint of amusement appearing in his amber-colored, disdainful gaze.

rear.

Princess Renner's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile. "Father, you're going to be disappointed."

"This is not a misunderstanding; it's a demand we cannot refuse."

It seems that what that man said was true.

A fleeting glint of fervor flashed in Princess Renner's eyes.

Before her mission to Council State, she received intelligence from the mysterious Tang.

A secret event that occurred in the Great Forest of Tob.

It was a clandestine confrontation between the Council State and the Slane Theocracy, which resulted in a victory for the Slane Theocracy.

She didn't think the information was fake; she just wanted to be absolutely certain.

Therefore, he was "sent on a mission to Council State"!

The king and the nobles have their purposes, the mysterious man has his, and Princess Renner naturally has her own goals.

"From this perspective," it seems that the Council State suffered a significant loss.

Princess Renner, still feigning innocence and looking blankly at the Blue Sky Dragon Lord, made this guess in her heart.

Of course, I was mostly surprised!

That's a country where the Dragon Lords exists, and Tang's identity seems to be getting more and more mysterious.
