I Guessed Wrong-I'm Actually the Regent of the Holy Light Empire's Daughter

Could it be that the Black Lance really did come to the Holy Light Empire a long, long time ago?

That's not right. If Lance really did come to the Holy Light Empire, with Lance strength, he should have left behind a Holy Light Empire of the evil dragon there.

Regardless, it's best to keep a low profile here. If the Imperial Daughter of the Holy Light Empire is kidnapped by the Black Dragon, and her identity is exposed, the royal family of the Holy Light Empire might hold a grudge against her.

Dick Edward the Young Dragon silently memorized the name and tried his best not to provoke any descendants of the family he encountered.

"Lady Lucia, where are we going now?"

"Go to the city center."

The young dragon looked up at the sky above the city center. Half of the imperial capital was hidden in the clouds. The nobles and royalty of the Holy Light Empire probably lived in that small city in the sky.

It has little to do with her; she came to the Holy Light Empire to cross domains and head to the Morning Star Domain.

There are two ways to cross domains: one is through a cross-domain teleportation array, and the other is, like Lance, to directly cross the domain boundary between the two domains.

For Lance, crossing the boundary was a simple matter; for her, crossing the boundary on her own was simply a pipe dream.

Let alone crossing the realm, she probably wouldn't even be able to find where the realm is.

Let's just stick to the inter-domain teleportation array and return to the Morning Star Domain. Spending some money is better than wasting time.

Lance definitely looking for her. I hope she returns to the Farolyn Empire as soon as possible and becomes emperor. When Lance finds her, I can give Lance a surprise.

If Lance finds it beforehand, well, what if the emperor does?

Forget about it in this lifetime, unless the Saint Blue Kingdom automatically advances to the Holy Blue Empire, becoming the strongest empire in the Sky Sea Domain, like the Holy Light Empire, without exception.

The Holy Light Empire is the strongest empire in the Holy Light Domain, bar none.

The strength of the other empires is simply not on the same level as that of the Holy Light Empire.

"Why don't we set up a stall here first and earn some money?"

"No one sets up stalls here. If we set up stalls here and get caught by the square's management, we might be fined."

Let's go to the city center. There should be a food street and a plaza with high foot traffic there, where street vendors are probably allowed.

"."

You know so much.

I really don't know what Lucia is thinking. She's already in the capital of the Holy Light Empire, yet she still hasn't revealed her identity. She's really making a fuss over nothing.

The capital city of Holy Light is very large, but fortunately, the transportation is convenient. You can reach the city center within three hours by taking a Source Power sedan, Source Power bus, or tram.

To save time, Lucia chose to take the bus, which was cheaper than the Power Car, which was more expensive and required a transfer at a certain stop to reach the city center.

After four transfers, around 2 PM, Lucia, Dragon Knight Hella, and Wyvern Claudia arrived in the city center.

The largest square in the city center is named "Holy Light Square".

In the center of Holy Light Square stands a huge statue; to be precise, every square in the Holy Light Imperial City has a statue in its center.

On the way to the city center, Youlong saw statues in some squares. He guessed that the statues were either generals of the Holy Light Empire or people who made great contributions to the Holy Light Empire.

However, the statue in the center of the Holy Light Square in the city center is exceptionally large, at least hundreds of meters tall.

This location, with such a large statue, must depict the founding emperor of the Holy Light Empire.

Wait, is it just her imagination? Why does this statue's face look so familiar?

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.

"This must be the founding emperor of the Holy Light Empire, right?" Dragon Knight Hella, asked in the young dragon's ear.

"No," the young dragon replied instinctively.

Dragon Knight Hella Hela turned to look at the young dragon. How could someone appear in this location, with such a large statue, not be the founding emperor of the Holy Light Empire? Upon arriving here, the first thing that catches the eye is this statue, and even the surrounding buildings and pedestrians in the square are subconsciously ignored.

The statue that could create such a visual effect—couldn't it be the founding emperor of the Holy Light Empire? The young dragon's heart pounded. She could hardly believe her own judgment, but the more she looked at the statue, the more familiar it seemed, and the more it resembled Lance in his youth!

No wonder the statue looked familiar at first glance. After a moment's thought, she immediately remembered where she had seen it before.

Young Lance in the Ander Kingdom!

This statue is clearly a young Lance! "You recognize this statue?"

"Ah... I don't know him."

The young dragon shook its head in denial and quickly walked towards the location of the statue. There was a stone tablet in front of the statue in East Saint Square that recorded the statue's identity information.

The large stone tablet in front of the statue in Holy Light Square should contain information about the statue's identity.

"Miss, my name is Dylan, may I get to know you?"

"I'm not interested in getting to know you."

The young dragon pushed aside the boy blocking its path and sped up. The boy Dylan tried to step forward, but the Dragon Knight Hella held his shoulder down. "Young man, my lady said she has no interest in getting to know you. Please do not continue to pester me, or I will treat you as a pervert."

With a smile, Hela, the Dragon Knight Hella, gave the boy a light pat on the shoulder and quickly followed after him.

He wasn't afraid of offending the nobles of the Holy Light Empire. Once the identity of the person in front of him was revealed, the nobles of the Holy Light Empire would treat him with respect.

The young dragon arrived at the stone tablet beneath the statue, and as she had guessed, the tablet contained information about the statue.

Upon seeing the first five large characters on the stone tablet, the corner of the young dragon's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Regent Lance

Lance the Black Lance did indeed visit the Holy Light Empire Holy Light Empire, but not as a black dragon or an evil dragon. Instead, he stayed in the Holy Light Empire for a period of time as a human and even became Holy Light Empire regent. In the Ander Kingdom, he was the teacher of Prince Andre. In the end, in order to make his student the king, he launched a rebellion and made Andre the king.

I thought that was Lance's greatest achievement in the human world, but I never imagined that his achievements in the Holy Light Empire would be even more terrifying! The Regent, indeed.

In other words, before the Holy Light Empire's emperor took power, Lance briefly ruled this powerful empire, and at that time, Lance was truly above all others.

Second only to one person? The Regent, huh? Even an emperor without power might have to call Lance "teacher."

The presence of a statue of Lance in the city center square indicates that Lance had an excellent relationship with the royal family of the Holy Light Empire and the emperor at the time.

After a brief moment of astonishment, the young dragon continued to browse the information on the stone tablet.

Regent Lance, the Light of the Empire, suppressed the Rebellion of the Five Kings and Three Dukes. When the rebels were about to breach the capital, he stepped forward and led the capital's garrison, the Royal Guard Army, and recruited Extraordinary Person to defeat the rebels' attacks time and time again. Finally, he led his army out of the capital to launch a surprise attack on the rebels, capturing their leader alive among tens of thousands of rebels and saving the capital from danger.

In 1894, before his death, His Majesty Douglas entrusted his children to Regent Lance, instructing them to address Regent Lance as "Teacher." In front of his children, he also told Lance that he would have full authority over the Empire's military and political affairs.

Before the princes and Imperial Daughter reach adulthood, there is no need to return power to them.

In June of Imperial Year 1894, Lord Lance officially became the Regent of the Empire, overseeing both military and political affairs. During his tenure, the Regent implemented sweeping reforms, eradicating centuries of accumulated problems and crises within the empire.

In order to discover talent, Regent Lord Lance established the Imperial Military Academy, which has cultivated batches of military geniuses for the empire.

At the same time, Regent Lance did not forget his promise to His Majesty Douglas. While handling state affairs, he did not forget to educate the princes and Imperial Daughter, Imperial Daughter became exceptionally outstanding under his tutelage.

In order to select a qualified emperor from among the princes and Imperial Daughter, the regent conducted hundreds of tests on them. In the end, the princes and Imperial Daughter were evenly matched, Imperial Daughter the regent Lance gave the choice to the princes and Imperial Daughter, letting them decide for themselves who would be the emperor.

Imperial Daughter Iliana, the second in line to the throne, did not hesitate. She told the Regent that her Dia was more suitable to be the Emperor of the Holy Light Empire than she was.

In January of Imperial Year 1900, Regent Lance officially transferred imperial power to Prince Dia, and in the same month, Prince Dia officially became the new emperor of the Holy Light Empire.

In March of 1902, Regent Lance fell ill due to overwork, Lance passed away in September of the same year.

Historical records state that the appearance of Regent Lance extended the Holy Light Empire's life by a thousand years.

After reading the inscription on the stone tablet about Regent Lance, the young dragon was paralyzed.

Is the Holy Light Empire's current status due to Lance? Could those blueprints for energy-powered cars, buses, and electric vans in Black Dragon Island's dragon lair have been drawn by him during his time as regent in the Holy Light Empire? Could the sweeping reforms he implemented in the Holy Light Empire refer to this?

So, it was Lance's emergence that made the Holy Light Empire stronger and stronger, eventually becoming the strongest empire in the Holy Light Domain? Then how did the Ander Kingdom disappear into the annals of history?

It's probably because Andre's descendants aren't very good.

"He wasn't the founding emperor of the Holy Light Empire, but this regent's achievements are probably no less than those of the Holy Light Empire emperor. It's a bit strange that he dared to lead troops into the midst of tens of thousands of soldiers. Logically speaking, this regent must have been very strong. How could he have fallen ill from overwork and suddenly died?"

"I thought it was boring, so I just picked a random way to die to fool people."

"What?"

Dragon Knight Hella was dumbfounded. This man's tone gave her the illusion that he was very familiar with Regent Lance. This couldn't be.

It is now September 1991 in the Imperial Calendar. Lucia is only about sixteen or seventeen years old, nearly a hundred years younger than Regent Lance. How could she possibly know the Regent?

It must be his illusion.

If this person knew the Regent, becoming the Emperor of the Holy Light Empire would be a piece of cake.

The inscription on the stone tablet records that the regent established a military academy to cultivate talent for the empire. The regent is no longer here, but the military academy he established still exists.

The Major General Dick Edward, who was in East Saint Square before, graduated from military academy.

Given her status Imperial Daughter and her acquaintance with the regent, she would naturally inherit the regent's connections.

In this situation, he really couldn't think of any way Lucia could lose. Her chances of winning by doing nothing were very high.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about whether I should take a shortcut."

Lance is the social and political king of the Holy Light Empire, and she is the dragon cub raised by Lance. In other words, if she can prove that she is Lance's cub, she may be able to inherit Lance's Regent's Residence.

Having inherited Lance's Regent's Residence, she no longer needed to toil away setting up a stall to earn money. She could use her family's resources in the shortest amount of time to travel to the Morning Star Domain via the inter-domain teleportation array.

The cost of an inter-domain teleportation array is absolutely astronomical, at least no less than 10,000 gold coins.

It's possible she could earn forty or fifty thousand gold coins; she simply couldn't earn that much money in a short time.

Having inherited Lance's Regent's Residence, the Holy Light Empire's royal family, considering she's a child of the Lance family, shouldn't mind letting her use the inter-domain teleportation array for free, right? While the young dragon was considering the feasibility of this, the Dragon Knight Hella was also imagining a "shortcut" beside her. He felt that she was about to confront him.

When this person confronts him, how should he react? Should he give a slight, enigmatic smile?

Should I feign surprise, kneel down on one knee, and shout "Long live the Imperial Daughter!"? Or should I just put on an act for a bit, just to make her happy?

After all, this princess had been kind to him and Claudia along the way, even setting up a stall to earn money to support them. Such Imperial Daughter is a rare find, perhaps only once in a thousand or ten thousand years.

"Well, I think if there's a shortcut, it's better to take the shortcut. There's no need to suffer without trying. Didn't you say that life is meant to be enjoyed?"

If there's a shortcut, we'll take it! If that doesn't work, we'll come back and suffer the consequences.

Who would choose to suffer when they can enjoy happiness?

"This shortcut might expose my identity."

Dragon Knight Hella laughed, "Your Highness Lucia, it's time to reveal yourself. Hiding your identity all the time isn't a good thing. If you hide for too long, you might even lose your self-confidence."

"???"

The young dragon was puzzled. What lack of confidence?

She was extremely confident; no one was more confident than her in the matter of becoming emperor.

Becoming the emperor of the Farolyn Empire is only a matter of time.

"I've always been confident, but you're right, there's no need to force ourselves to suffer. Next, we need to inquire about Regent Lance in the square."

"Isn't everything here? Why are you asking?"

"Find out where the Regent's Palace is, and see if the Holy Light Empire has a Regent's Residence. If not, then there's no shortcut."

"No, you don't know where the Regent's Residence is?"

"This is my first time in the Holy Light Empire. How would I know where the Regent's Residence is? I only just learned that the Holy Light Empire has such a Regent."

???

"Still pretending at a time like this? No, I can't stand it anymore. I have to expose this person's identity." Dragon Knight Hella Hela coughed and glanced around. Seeing that there weren't many people around, she whispered, "Your Highness, stop pretending. I've already guessed who you are."

"Trying to fool me? I don't believe you can guess my identity."

"You underestimate my intelligence. If I'm not mistaken, Your Highness, you must be Imperial Daughter of the Holy Light Empire."

???

"You guessed wrong. I am actually the Regent's daughter."

???
