The Torrent Dragon had taken up residence in Swan Lake at Fire Ant Swamp, an honor beyond measure for the Sunflower Family.
But most people only had Ye Gong's Love for Dragons.
Living beside the Torrent Dragon, the members of the Sunflower Family had spent nearly every day and night on edge, unable to eat or sleep well.
Now that the Torrent Dragon had departed, Swan Castle was filled with song and dance.
Kunbiv Shadowflame had rarely returned from Redcastle, so naturally he intended to indulge himself, enjoying family happiness amid the graceful music and dancing.
Though I have clung tightly to the Torrent Dragon and followed the Scorching Torrent Kingdom's lead, it has all been for Kunsley's election as Grand Duke, not because I truly like any Torrent Dragon. As he savored fine wine and delicacies, Baron Kunbif continued to console himself inwardly.
By now, the nobles of the Shadowflame Grand Duchy all knew that the Sunflower Family had aligned itself with the Scorching Torrent Kingdom, and many looked down on them for it.
Unfortunately, the family behind Young Master Augustus Waterwillow was foolish, while Count Merlin behind Young Master Mel Monochoria was too overbearing.
Thus, even though Young Master Kunsley Sunflower had sought refuge with the Scorching Torrent Kingdom, he still had no shortage of supporters in this environment of Blue Orchid. Moreover, with the Torrent Dragon's firm support, the Shadowflame Dragon could not easily veto him.
After all.
Dragons were not humans. They did not care about popular support. As long as they were served well, dragons would not care about humanity's petty schemes.
"So what if the Sunflower Family has sided with the Scorching Torrent Kingdom? Once Kunsley wins the election and serves the Shadowflame Dragon well, everything from the past will fade away like smoke.
