Young Dragon Queen!

There is a sense of impending doom, but it is not a life-or-death crisis.

Even if it wasn't a life-or-death ordeal, Lance wouldn't dare to be careless. He would try to avoid it if possible, and only take the initiative to face the ordeal if he really couldn't avoid it.

He calculated that if he stayed on Black Dragon Island, the calamity would not befall him, but if he left Black Dragon Island, the calamity could occur at any time.

If he were to face a calamity, it wouldn't matter; since it wasn't a life-or-death ordeal, he wasn't particularly afraid.

If the dragon cub is about to face a calamity, then the problem will be huge. His dragon cub is too fragile. If the calamity is even slightly strong, it could become a life-or-death ordeal.

Therefore, during this period, he could only try his best to enhance the dragon cub's defense and strength without affecting its potential and subsequent growth, so that the dragon cub could have as many means of self-protection as possible.

As for Saint Blue.

It's possible to go if you want, but there's not much point in going to Saint Blue now. I've already met the Pure-Blooded Dragon from Dragon Island, and with the exposure of Abyss Devil identity as the Dragon God Temple Second Pope, the Pure-Blooded Dragon on Dragon Island probably won't let me continue in that role.

"You want to go to Saint Blue?"

"I'm somewhat inclined to go."

The young dragon gestured with its claws to indicate how big her desire to go to Saint Blue was, roughly the size of a dragon finger.

"If you go to Saint Blue, you might not be able to come back."

"???" The young dragon's eyes widened instantly. "Why can't it come back?"

"Because Viscount Lance of Saint Blue died in battle, and you, as Lance's adopted dragon cub, may be forcibly kept in Saint Blue by Ticia and Claire, so that you can inherit Lance's title and everything in Saint Blue."

"Huh? Such a good thing?!"

Thump—

Aww—

The baby dragon lay on the ground, rolling around with her head in her hands, when the evil dragon punched her in the head with its dragon fist.

"Viscount Lance of Saint Blue has died in battle. Not only are you not sad, but you even look excited, saying that such a good thing has happened? Have some filial piety, you heartless little brat."

"You're not really dead." The young dragon felt wronged. Wait, Lance died in battle?

No, how could Lance have suddenly died in battle?

"How did you suddenly die?"

"He was killed by the Abyss Devil." After saying that, Lance felt that the dragon cub's words were a bit awkward. Then, the young dragon, who had just gotten up from the ground, was punched again. "Idiot, it was Viscount Lance of Saint Lance who died in battle, not me."

"."

The baby dragon clutched its head, on the verge of tears. What's the difference?

Isn't Viscount Saint Blue the Black Lance? "You deliberately let yourself be killed by the Abyss Devil? No, it was Viscount Saint Blue who deliberately let himself be killed by the Abyss Devil?"

"It wasn't intentional, it was just going with the flow. After all, the puppet body isn't the real body, so it's normal for it to be killed by those dozen or so old guys."

However, I still want to settle this score with those dozen or so old guys. They beat me up pretty badly that night. I'll find some time to go to the Abyss and beat those dozen or so old guys up one by one, to avenge Lance."

He wasn't in a hurry to take revenge; he could do it anytime, there was no rush.

The most urgent task is to enhance the dragon cub's strength and allow it to evolve into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling as soon as possible.

He had investigated and concluded that the dragon cub would likely be evolving into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling soon.

At the latest within three years, or at the earliest by the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

This speed is not slow. With the dragon cub's own efforts and the magic potions he feeds it day after day, it is normal for it to evolve into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling within five years.

If he could get a little bit of blood from the Phoenix, he could make the dragon cub evolve into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling by the end of the year.

Phoenix are even rarer to encounter than Pure-Blooded Dragon.

"If I go to Saint Blue, will I really be forced to inherit your title? And Saint Blue itself?"

"Knowing Ticia as I do, she will do it."

"If you paint me black, would Ticia do the same?"

"Your disguise is just a joke in her eyes. Even if she paints you white instead of black, she will still keep you in Saint Blue the moment she sees you, so that you can inherit Saint Blue."

"I don't believe it unless I try it myself."

─━_─━Just give it a try.

At worst, we can just forcibly take the little guy away.

Lance took out a calendar from the Diamond Cutter, flipped through it for a while, and said to the young dragon, "The middle of next month is an auspicious day. I'll take you to Saint Lan then."

"Okay, okay, I'll go hoe the ground then."

"Be careful, don't break off the Squid Girl's tentacles like last time."

"I thought it was an earthworm. Besides, I only plucked a tiny bit of the Squid Girl's tail tip."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

The young dragon carried the hoe and went to till the land. Lance squatted in the shade, took out the tortoise shell and a few Copper Coin, and began to divine whether he would encounter calamity this time he went out. However, the divination result was not clear.

Can't figure it out.

Not being able to calculate it is neither a bad thing nor a good thing.

It's best to proceed with caution.

"Lance, now that we've gone to Lance Blue, should we still go to the Dragon Domain to find Dragon Island?"

"Go, I'll take you to kick the island. You sweep away the young dragons on Dragon Island, and I'll sweep away Dragon Island adult dragons."

"."

Suddenly I don't want to go to Dragon Island anymore.

While the evil dragon might be able to sweep away all the adult dragons on Dragon Island, she, having spent three years by the evil dragon's side, would definitely not be able to sweep away all the young dragons on Dragon Island.

If I stayed by the dragon's side for more than three hundred years, I might be able to sweep away the young dragons on Dragon Island. Three years is definitely not enough!

Don't even mention that it hasn't been three years yet.

In the days that followed, the young dragon helped Lance with farm work. After finishing the farm work, she would enter the domain at night to practice the Black Dragon Ascending to Heaven Fist and basic sword techniques.

May passed just like that, and the time came to June 16th. On this day, Lance took the young dragon and left Black Dragon Island for Holy Blue.

This time, the baby dragon's body was not smeared with the Squid Girl's ink; Lance made her go to Saint Blue in her original form.

Thanks to Lance's reminders, the young dragon now knows what to do when it arrives at Saint Lan.

Step 1: Shock! Then anger, and then crying until you faint.

Step Two: Tell Ticia that she wants to train with the Black Dragon to become stronger and take revenge! Step Three: Completely return power to Ticia.

She had practiced dozens of times on Black Dragon Island; she wouldn't make a mistake.

On June 16th, the Black Dragon, which had disappeared for more than half a year, reappeared in Saint Blue, in Saint Blue City.

When Ticia and Claire learned that the Little Dragon Highness had appeared with the Black Dragon, they immediately put aside their official duties and headed towards the Dragon God Temple.

As soon as they arrived at the Dragon God Temple, the two of them heard a loud "Awooo!" sound.

It's Little Dragon Highness crying.

Ticia and Claire exchanged a glance, changed direction, and headed towards the Sacred Ground.

Sure enough, when the two of them reached the middle of the lake, they saw a young dragon radiating amethyst light, hugging an ice coffin and howling.

She cried uncontrollably, and even tried to open the ice coffin.

Fortunately, Ingrid hugged Little Dragon Highness to Little Dragon Highness.

His Majesty's good friend Black Dragon Lord, was also in front of the ice coffin. He had his back to them, so they could not see Black Dragon Lord expression, but they could feel the indescribable pain he felt at losing his dearest Black Dragon Lord.

"Your Little Dragon Highness, you're finally back."

Ticia and Claire approached the baby dragon, bowed to it, and quickly supported it on either side. The Little Dragon Highness's eyes were red from crying.

"I'm going to the abyss! I'm going to kill them! I'm going to avenge Lance!!! Waaaaah, no one will cook delicious food for me anymore, no one will give me money to spend anymore."

Lance, wake up! Didn't we agree that I would take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die? I haven't given you the money I earned from my stall yet. Wake up! I want to eat the food you cooked.

"Waaaaah! Damn Abyss Devil, I'll make you pay for your crimes in blood!!!"

"Your Little Dragon Highness, please accept our condolences. Our Holy Blue will avenge His Majesty!"

"Waaaaah, Your Majesty... who is Your Majesty?" the young dragon asked, sobbing.

"Lance Majesty, Saint Blue is now a kingdom. The Red Maple Kingdom was destroyed by Saint Blue. Little Dragon Highness, if you truly wish to avenge His Majesty, then stay in Saint Blue, inherit His Majesty's throne, lead Saint Blue to rise again, and avenge His Majesty!"

Gaa—

The baby dragon's cries stopped abruptly. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her dragon claws, feeling both like crying and laughing at the same time.

My goodness, this unexpected joy came so suddenly!

She longed to be an emperor, but unexpectedly, before she could become emperor, she had to become the Queen of a kingdom first.

Waaaaah... Happiness came too fast, I can't help but want to cry again.

"Has our Saint Blue truly become a kingdom?"

"Um."

"So they really destroyed the Red Maple Kingdom?"

"Yes! There is no longer a Red Maple Kingdom, only Red Maple Province."

"Waaaaah"

Having confirmed this, the baby dragon cried even harder.

Overjoyed, I wept tears of joy.

The dragon told her a story.

The story is called: A Lin Daiyu Fell From the Sky.

And today, a throne fell from the sky for her to inherit! Waaaaah!

After so many years of hardship, has her luck finally turned around? She didn't fight or compete, yet she still managed to obtain a kingdom and become Queen.

I'm so happy.

When she's happy, she easily gets carried away.

With her eyes red from crying, she looked at Lance, who remained silent to the side. "Black Dragon, you may leave. I will inherit Lance's throne, become the Queen of Saint Blue, and lead Saint Blue to conquer the Abyss!"

Thump—

Aww—

The overconfident young dragon was hit by Lance's dragon punch.

Lance was amused and exasperated by his dragon cub's smug expression.

He knew she wanted to be emperor, but he didn't expect that when the dragon cub heard that there was a throne to inherit, the smile on her lips was even harder to suppress than AK's. Her esteemed Viscount Saint Blue, who raised her, had just died not long ago. Could the throne be more important than family?

Ticia and Claire were startled. They hadn't expected the Black Dragon Lord to punch the Little Dragon Highness directly. Their feelings towards the Black Dragon were rather complicated, because even now, they didn't know if the Black Dragon Lord was Abyss Devil.

"You two don't need to look at me like that. You Saint Lan don't need to avenge Lance. I will avenge him. I will personally go to the Abyss to fight those dozen or so Abyss Devil who surrounded and killed Lance, and make them pay a bloody price."

Saint Lan doesn't need to bear this hatred. Lance lives, but he doesn't want to see Saint Lan develop, progress, or become strong. His motivation comes from hatred.

I will avenge him, and you should govern Saint Blue well, and not let the people of Saint Blue live in hatred.

This is also what Lance meant.

To convince Ticia, Claire, and Saint Lan, Lance produced the "last will and testament" he had just written that morning.

He faked his death to escape, leaving the humans of Saint Blue to move forward burdened with hatred—this was not what he wanted.

If they didn't come, that's fine; but since they did come, we should naturally make up for that.

"This is a letter Lance wrote to me the night before he died in battle. At that time, he already had a premonition of something. Now I am handing over this last letter of Lance to you."

Ticia looked at the letter in Lance's hand, her hands trembling slightly. She could tell at a glance whether the Viscount's method of protecting Saint Blue after his death was his will.

No one can imitate the Viscount's handwriting.

She took the will from Lance, carefully opened the envelope, took out the letter, unfolded it, and began to read it.

The suicide note reads, "I am facing a calamity, a life-or-death ordeal. If I overcome it, I can live for another five hundred years. If I don't, then you will have something else to do."

If I die a natural death or in a natural disaster, please take good care of my dragon cub. If I am killed by a powerful enemy, then while you are taking care of my dragon cub, you must also help me avenge it.

I'll have to trouble you to go to Saint Blue then and tell Ticia not to let her seek revenge for me, and not to let the people of Saint Blue live in hatred. You can handle the revenge; Saint Blue can leave it to her.

Tell Ticia what I have said. If Ticia does not believe me, show her this letter.

I entrust all of Saint Blue's political affairs to Ticia. You, Dragon Cub, will take care of him for me. Don't let the Dragon Cub inherit Saint Blue.

The dragon cub doesn't have that ability yet.

Alright, I hope I can live like you for 50,000 years.

Finally, Ticia, if you still harbor thoughts of revenge after reading this far, then Ticia, listen to my command: I now officially, as Duke of Saint Blue, order you, and everyone in Saint Blue, not to seek revenge for me! This is an order.

Your Viscount's last order.

Ticia read the contents of the letter word by word.

The handwriting is correct; it is the Viscount's handwriting.

The last few sentences were spoken in the Viscount's tone.

The Viscount even foresaw what would happen after his death. In order to prevent Saint Blue from avenging him, he even issued a final Royal Decree.

Ticia handed the letter to Claire beside her.

Claire was deeply moved after reading the letter.

Lance truly cared deeply for the people of Saint Blue; his affection for Saint Blue far surpassed even his own life.

He also knows Ticia and Saint Lan very well.

Ticia knelt on one knee in front of the ice coffin, her eyes reddening as she looked at Lance lying inside.

First came the Viscount, then came Saint Blue.

Without the Viscount, there would be no Saint Blue.

"Carry out your viscount's orders. I will avenge him. You should not interfere in this matter. Focus on developing Saint Blue."

Ticia remained silent for a long while before rising and bowing to Lance, saying, "Black Dragon Lord, please be sure to allow His Little Dragon Highness to inherit my Viscount's throne! After His Little Dragon Highness inherits the throne, he does not need to stay in Saint Blue, but the people of Saint Blue must know that His Little Dragon Highness is the second king of Saint Blue!"
