Black Dragon-Could He Be Lance?
Although His Majesty entrusted her with ruling Saint Blue and handling all its political affairs before his death, she did not intend to become Saint Blue's second king. The Viscount raised Little Dragon Highness as his own daughter, and it didn't matter even though Little Dragon Highness wasn't human.
Saint Blue only acknowledges the relationship between Little Dragon Highness and the Viscount, and does not care about Little Dragon Highness's status.
She never intended to force Little Dragon Highness to stay in Saint Blue. Once Little Dragon Highness became the second king of Saint Blue, Little Dragon Highness be free to stay or leave.
They won't stop you if you want to follow the Black Dragon to cultivate.
After all, Little Dragon Highness also wanted to avenge the Viscount.
The young dragon Lucia didn't know what expression to make. Queen! The Kingdom Queen. Although the Kingdom was not as strong as the Empire, she was happy to experience what it was like to be Queen.
No, it's not an experience! If she becomes the Queen of Saint Blue, as long as she doesn't die, Saint Blue will always acknowledge her as Queen.
Hehe, when she returns to the Farolyn Empire, she will no longer be the Underdog Imperial Sister that her Smelly Imperial Sister Asina talks about!
She is the Queen of the Saint Blue Kingdom. If her Smelly Imperial Sister Asina continues to call her the Underdog Imperial Sister," she will become the culprit who causes conflict between the two countries! With Holy Blue's strength, it will not be afraid even if its opponent is an empire.
I want to be the Holy Blue Queen.
The young dragon looked pitifully at Lance, hoping that Lance would agree to Ticia's request. She simply wanted to be a Queen and would not interfere in the affairs of Saint Lan.
Lance was amused to see his dragon cub clasping its two dragon fists together, looking like it was saying, "Please, let me be king." What dragon cub isn't a proper one? What proper dragon cub dreams of being an emperor every day? Now that it has the chance to be king for free, it's probably already overjoyed.
"You want to be the king of Saint Blue?"
"If Ticia needs me to become the King of Saint Blue, then for the sake of Lance! The future of Saint Blue! I am willing to become the King of Saint Blue, even if it is just a title!"
The young dragon was overjoyed, but considering that Lance was still lying in the ice coffin, she could only suppress her excitement, try to put on a grief-stricken look, and bluntly stated her desire to become king.
Lance wanted to beat up his own dragon cub again. He wanted to be king and even brought him up. "Ticia, are you sure you want her to become the second king of Saint Lan?"
"Sure!"
"Alright, then announce to the entire Holy Blue Kingdom that your Little Dragon Highness and become the second king of the Saint Blue Kingdom."
The enthronement and succession ceremonies need not be held; everything should be kept simple. Just inform Saint Lan and the surrounding kingdoms of this news.
???
Keep everything simple?
Just... just issue a notice?
Why would the New King in any kingdom be so simple?
At least let this young dragon wear royal robes and sit on the Golden Throne once, experience the feeling of being worshipped by thousands! A mere announcement—doesn't she, as the queen, have any dignity? Ticia was stunned by Lance's words, as was Claire. The two of them had held several meetings and discussed the proper format for the coronation ceremony to ensure the Little Dragon Highness became queen. The Black Dragon Lord simply had them issue a mere announcement—this was far too informal. However, the Black Dragon Lord's style of doing things... it felt somewhat similar to their own viscount.
If her Viscount were still alive, he would probably use a similar method to allow Prince Little Dragon Highness to succeed to the throne. Also, even though she knew that the Black Dragon Lord Black Dragon Lord in front of her had intricate connections with the Abyss Devil, she still trusted him from the bottom of her heart and felt that he would not do anything to harm Saint Lan. "Issue such a notice in the name of your Little Dragon Highness, saying that your Little Dragon Highness is pragmatic and does not like extravagance."
"."
No! I'm not practical!
I love magnificent palaces and dazzling Golden Throne.
On the day she became Queen, she wanted to indulge in extravagance once in a while, and if necessary, she could recycle the valuable items.
The young dragon cried out silently in its heart.
"Isn't this... not a good idea?"
Ticia felt that this was too frivolous, giving the impression that Saint Blue didn't care about Little Dragon Highness.
There was no such perfunctory succession ceremony.
"Dragon cub, what do you think of this?"
The word "no" had barely left his lips when Young Dragon grinned and said with a mournful face, "Fine, very well. I'm a pragmatic Young Dragon, as evidenced by my daily routine of setting up a stall to earn money."
"Ticia, do as the evil black dragon says. My coronation ceremony should be kept simple."
"."
Little Dragon Highness had already said that, what else could she say? "Then when does His Little Dragon Highness plan to ascend the throne?"
"Today is an auspicious day, so let your Little Dragon Highness today."
"."
Hey, hey, hey, this isn't just a perfunctory response; it's far too casual.
"At least give me a crown to wear!"
The young dragon muttered that she had no objection to keeping everything simple, and she also had no objection to becoming the queen of the Saint Blue Kingdom today.
"She's already a queen, it's not too much to ask her to wear a golden crown, is it?" Lance heard the young dragon's mutterings. His own dragon cub actually wanted to wear a golden crown. Oh well, considering that this little guy has been studying and cultivating quite diligently these past few months, he'll let her wear a crown.
Lance took a golden crown from the Diamond Cutter and placed it on the little dragon's head.
He couldn't remember how he got the golden crown; it might have been taken from Andre's head, or it might have been forged by him.
The size is just right.
The dragon cub, shrunk to a little over 1.5 meters tall, can wear it perfectly, but once it turns back into its original adult form, it can no longer wear it.
Ticia and Claire were speechless upon seeing this. The golden crown of the second king of the Saint Blue Kingdom didn't even require them to use gold from the national treasury to forge. Black Dragon Lord simply gave it to Little Dragon Highness. It was so convenient that the two of them felt like they were playing house. "Quickly, call your Little Dragon Highness 'Your Majesty' and make her happy."
"."
"His Majesty."
Ticia immediately knelt on one knee and called out, "Your Majesty."
Claire knelt down on one knee and addressed him as "Your Majesty".
Young Dragon hurriedly helped the two of them up, saying, "No need, no need, we can still get along like before. You don't need to kneel when you see me, just call me Your Majesty."
"Then, Your Majesty, shall we now announce to Saint Lan that you have inherited the throne?"
The young dragon instinctively looked at Lance.
"Why are you looking at me? You are now the King of Saint Blue."
"That announcement?"
"As you command."
That noon, the Saint Blue Kingdom officially announced to the entire nation that the throne would be inherited by His Majesty Lance's child, the young dragon Lucia.
Lucia, the young dragon, officially became the second king of Saint Blue. In order to avoid wasting resources and manpower, Her Majesty Lucia decided to keep the enthronement ceremony simple and not hold any grand ceremony, but only issue this announcement.
The message spread through Saint Blue's official channels to most provinces before nightfall, with only a few provinces yet to receive it.
This news is good for the region that was originally ruled by Saint Blue. Little Dragon Highness is a very good young dragon. She may not be as strong as the Viscount, but Little Dragon Highness has a good personality.
For the Red Maple People, who had just Entering Sainthood Blue Territory, who became king was of little concern to them.
As long as it doesn't affect their lives, that's fine.
When the branch temples of the various shrines received this news, some cardinals pondered for a moment and then relayed it to the Holy Mountain headquarters, wanting to see what the Holy Mountain headquarters thought.
The main reason is that the second king of the Saint Blue Kingdom was not human, but a young dragon.
In human history, there has never been a case of a non-human race becoming the king of a human kingdom.
Therefore, before receiving news from the Holy Mountain, they dared not go to Saint Blue City to bless or pray for the New King.
The various sacred mountains received the message from the branch temples within the Saint Blue Territory, and after reading it, they quickly replied.
The Pope of the Valkyrie Temple told the Cardinal of the Saint Blue Valkyrie Branch Temple that he would send the temple's Saintess to Saint Blue to bless the New King.
Immediately afterwards, the branch temple of the War God Temple also received the message that the Saintess Sophia of the War God Temple would come to Saint Blue to bless the New King of Saint Blue.
The Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, on the other hand, indicated that it would send the Golden Dragon Austin and his knight Hammond to Saint Blue to offer their blessings to the New King of Saint Blue.
Other cardinals of various temples also received messages to go to the Saint Blue King City to bless the New King.
On June 23, 3457 of the Black Dragon Calendar, all the major temples gathered in the Saint Blue Kingdom, Saint Blue City.
When the clergy of the various temples thought that the New King of Saint Blue would receive their blessings in the royal palace of Saint Blue King, they were surprised to find that the officials of Saint Blue took them directly to a brand-new two-story villa.
The officials of Saint Lan said that this was the palace of their New King of Saint Lan.
"Isn't this the place where Viscount Lance used to live? I never expected that the young dragon who inherited his throne would rebuild this place and turn it into a royal palace."
When the Golden Dragon Austin saw the familiar villa, images of his time with Lance flashed through his mind.
Saintess Sophia of the War God Temple and Lightning Dragon Eileen were also somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting the young dragon to use this place as a royal palace.
Led by Ingrid, the clergy from the various temples entered the villa one after another.
As soon as they entered the villa, they saw the Amethyst Dragonling wearing a crown.
It's no longer a black dragon cub; it has turned back into Amethyst Dragonling.
However, when some of the clergy saw the black dragon sitting not far from the Amethyst Dragonling, their expressions immediately turned serious.
Black Dragon?
Black Dragonkin Lance of the Abyss, no, it's Sia the Black Dragonkin!
When the Golden Dragon Austin and the Lightning Dragon Eileen saw Lance, their expressions were somewhat unnatural, as they were unsure how the black dragon positioned itself.
What are you doing here?
"Why can't I be here?"
"Shouldn't you be in the abyss?"
"I have said that I am a black dragon. The one standing before you now is a black dragon, not Black Dragonkin."
Lance glanced at Austin, then continued flipping through the newspaper in his hand. "Ingrid, could you please pour me a glass of red wine? Thank you."
"Yes."
Ingrid walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of decanted red wine, and poured a glass for Lance. For some reason, when serving Black Dragon Lord, she always felt like she was serving the Viscount.
The Black Dragon Lord's demeanor and the tone of his greeting were very similar to those of the Viscount.
That's really strange.
Perhaps it's because Black Dragon Lord has spent so much time with the Viscount that he has picked up some of the Viscount's habits.
"Your good friend Lance was killed by Abyss Devil, and you're not angry at all?"
"If anger were useful, would I need to go to the Abyss to seek revenge on those Abyss Devil?" Lance put the newspaper he was holding on the coffee table, staring at Austin with unfriendly eyes. "You've categorized me as one of the Abyss Devil?"
"It's hard to see you as Pure-Blooded Black Dragon like before."
"It doesn't matter. I will go to the Dragon Domain in a while to find Dragon Island and see if the other Pure-Blooded Dragon on Dragon Island will accept me as a black dragon."
Sophia looked at the black dragon and carefully sensed it, but she did not detect any strong abyssal aura from it.
She couldn't tell whether the black dragon was Abyss Devil from the abyss.
He is said to be Abyss Devil, but he can use Summoning Divine Art and even summon gods.
He is said to be not Abyss Devil, but all the Abyss Devil acknowledge him, worship him as their master, and want to support him to become the Abyss Demon Emperor.
Logically speaking, a being that can gain the approval of the gods should not be Abyss Devil.
The black dragon was even more mysterious than she had imagined.
What are you going to Dragon Island for?
"Just strolling around, and taking my little dragon cub to see the world."
Aren't you afraid you might never come back?
"I have no hostility towards Dragon Island. I believe that the dragons on Dragon Island would not kill me for no reason."
Eileen stared into the black dragon's eyes for a while, then fell silent.
Looking at the black dragon's golden-red vertical pupils, she thought of Viscount Lance's golden-red eyes.
The color of Dragon Eye is exactly the same as the color of Lance's eyes.
Could Black Dragon and Lance be the same person?
She wouldn't have such thoughts based solely on the color of the eyes, but the aura and demeanor that the black dragon occasionally revealed were exactly the same as those of Viscount Lance Saint Lance.
Most importantly, the black dragon never transformed into human form in front of them.
Pure-Blooded Dragon can transform into human form.
Could it be that the black dragon isn't taking on a human form because he's hiding something? Perhaps he doesn't want to reveal that he's Lance. The demons of the Lance Abyss call the black dragon the Black Dragonkin Lance. Viscount Lance is also called Lance.
Despite Human Lance from Saint Blue, telling the Abyss Devil that it was the black dragon who was causing trouble in the abyss using his name.
No! That's not right!
The black dragon not only wreaks havoc in the Abyss using Lance's name, but he also walks in the Abyss with Lance's face on his person.
Although Lance wasn't in Saint Lan on the day he died, during the subsequent investigation, the Bronze Dragon Melbourne, who was present at the time, as well as the restaurant owner and customers, all said that the four abyssal Little Devil mistook their viscount for the Black Dragon Lord the moment they saw him.
Could it be that the Black Dragon is Viscount Lance of Saint Blue? Lance is the Black Dragon?
Although she couldn't provide evidence to prove it, her intuition told her that the relationship between Black Dragon and Lance was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
