Reintroduce Yourself-I'm No. 16, the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire
The future emperor's aunt, the successor to Lance, the regent of the Holy Light Empire Holy Light Empire, and the Little Regent in the eyes of many generals, nobles and ministers of the Holy Light Empire —any one of these three identities should be enough to mobilize an entire legion of the Holy Light Empire, right?
Mobilizing an entire legion to the Morning Star Domain is somewhat of an exaggeration. Taking a few powerful domain experts aboard Floating Source Power Warship to the Morning Star Domain, and arriving at the capital of the Farolyn Empire, would that Smelly Imperial Sister Asina still have a chance to resist? The young dragon Lucia imagined in her mind the scene of tens of thousands of elite troops appearing above the imperial palace of the Farolyn Empire's capital aboard dozens of Floating Source Power Warship.
The oppressive atmosphere was too strong, and the Empire's Griffin Knight Corps would have no deterrent effect on her at all.
Before Lance took her away, she would be afraid of griffins because they are very big.
Having lived with Lance for nearly three years, the griffin is now just a slightly larger Source Beast in her eyes.
She transformed into Amethyst Dragonling, with a small griffin at her head.
Her Iron Head Skill has been recognized by the turtle; this year, when she headbutted the turtle, it even made the turtle wobble slightly.
Leading the Holy Light Empire's Floating Source Power Warship to the Morning Star Domain is unrealistic. Reclaiming the throne from Asina with the help of external forces would not bring any sense of accomplishment and might even incur the resentment of the soldiers, nobles, and ministers of the Farolyn Empire.
It's not worth the risk.
She could use her status to show off to her Smelly Imperial Sister Asina, but she absolutely couldn't use it for personal gain. As for borrowing troops, Lance didn't even want to be the regent of the Holy Light Empire. If she really wanted to use his influence, the favor might fall on Lance.
Never mind, I shouldn't cause Lance any trouble.
Lance owes the Holy Light Empire nothing.
She also didn't want Lance to feel indebted to the Holy Light Empire because of her actions.
"It's not that exaggerated, it's not that exaggerated. I don't have that much influence, and I don't think I have the ability to influence who becomes the heir to the empire."
The young dragon waved her hands repeatedly, saying that she would take on the role of the aunt and would definitely not get involved in deciding who would be the heir to the Holy Light Empire.
She herself never became the emperor of the Farolyn Empire.
"You actually took it seriously?" Dylan glared at Lucia with annoyance.
"How rude of you to call me Little Aunt!" The young dragon took out Lightning Hammer from the Lucky Coin. "I don't have the power to make Lottie the emperor of the Holy Light Empire, but I dare to beat you up. Even if you become the emperor of the Holy Light Empire in the future, there will be a record in the Holy Light Empire's history books about you being beaten up by your Little Aunt."
When the emperor was young, he was beaten with a hammer for disobeying his aunt.
"Heh," Dylan said with a sneer. "Krein, someone is trying to attack the first in line to the throne of the Empire. You know what to do, right?"
"Know."
Krein smiled slightly, took two steps forward, put his arm around Dylan, and brought Dylan to the young dragon Lucia.
"Hey, Krein, you're wrong, you should bring her to me so I can punish her, not bring me to her so she can punish me."
"No mistake, it's Your Highness Lucia who will punish you."
"???"
Dylan was dumbfounded. Why did Krein choose to side with the naive girl? Even if she was the daughter of Regent Grandpa Lance, it shouldn't have made Krein do such a thing, right? "Your Highness Dylan, please bear with me. I have to protect you and attack Your Highness Lucia. When Regent Lord Lance arrives, I might die."
"If you bully Your Highness Lucia, Regent Lord Lance might break your legs. I'm doing this for your own good."
Krein explained earnestly, "We can't afford to mess with them, we really can't afford to mess with them."
Regent Lance is too powerful. The title of heir to the Holy Light Empire carries no weight in front of him.
That is to say, he didn't have the ambition to become emperor. Otherwise, with his strength and influence at the time, he could have easily overthrown the royal family and become the emperor of the Holy Light Empire himself.
As for this seemingly simple-minded girl, she's just simple-minded, not stupid.
Imperial Daughter Rachel and Lottie's alluring words did not cloud the mind of this naive young girl, who was not blinded by the immense power that was within her grasp.
Just a moment ago, for a fleeting instant, the naive girl's face showed a look of longing, and she even put her hands on her hips, displaying an arrogant, smug, and petty-smug expression—
The sound of the Lightning Hammer colliding with Dylan's head interrupted Krein's reverie. He really was a fool who just started hammering without taking Dylan's status as the first in line to inherit the Holy Light Empire seriously.
They have no interest in the left or right successors to the throne.
I'm somewhat interested in bullying the heir to the throne.
"Call her 'Little Aunt'."
"Dream!"
Thump—
"Should you call her 'Little Aunt' or not?"
"Try hitting me with that hammer again?!"
Thump—
"Little! Aunt! Aunt!" Dylan covered his head with his hands and called out to the young dragon through gritted teeth, "Little Aunt."
He encountered a complete idiot who didn't care about his status and wasn't afraid of his threats.
The young dragon put away the Lightning Hammer and placed its hand on Dylan's head. "Rub the bumps to loosen them, don't let Grandma see."
"What are you doing?!!"
"Lance once punched me on the head, causing a bump. He chanted this spell, and the bump disappeared. Strange. Why isn't your bump going away? It doesn't make sense. I perfectly copied Lance's spell. Your bump should be getting smaller and smaller."
Dylan slapped the baby dragon's hand off his head and stormed out of the garden.
"I'll be hosting a banquet for Lucia in Sky City in three days. Send out invitations to all the kids your age and ask them to come to the banquet I'm hosting for Lucia. Do you understand?"
"Knew."
"Lucia, I'll take you to the Light Hall later to meet my brother, the Emperor of the Holy Light Empire, and see if he'll arrange a succession ceremony for you. Of course, it's impossible for you to inherit the throne as Regent, but making you a prince with Fief is no problem."
"No need, no need for you to go to so much trouble, Sister Rachel. I'm already very grateful that you let me use the inter-domain teleportation array for free."
Rachel smiled gently and raised her hand to touch the baby dragon's head. The baby dragon instinctively covered its head and ran away, not wanting Rachel to touch its head because it had horns.
"You little rascal, I won't beat you."
Lance said that when we're out and about, no one should touch my head without permission.
"I've got it."
Young Dragon thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of toner he had bought from Dragon Island from his Lucky Coin and handed it to Rachel. "Sister Rachel, this is for you. It's a toner with a hint of supernatural power that will make your face more supple."
Imperial Daughter Rachel initially wanted to refuse, but when she smelled the faint fragrance of the toner, she smiled and accepted the young dragon Lucia's kindness.
After giving Rachel a bottle, the young dragon reluctantly gave another bottle to Imperial Daughter Lottie, the second in line to the throne of the Holy Light Empire. After all, he had called her "Little Aunt" several times, so it seemed a bit unreasonable not to give her a gift.
The two bottles of toner she gave away are something you can't buy anywhere else in the human world; they're a specialty of Dragon Island.
Currently, no human has been able to enter Dragon Island; only the Pope of the War God Holy Mountain and the Pope of the Light Holy Mountain have visited Dragon Island.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Lottie happily accepted the gift from her cheap auntie. This gift from her cheap auntie seemed to be much more high-end than any brand of toner on the market in the capital.
It glows!
Besides its delicate floral scent, the toner also has a subtle glow.
"You're welcome."
Around 3 p. m., Imperial Daughter Rachel took Lucia to the Light Hall.
Lucia met the Emperor of the Holy Light Empire, a middle-aged man who exuded an imposing aura. When he learned that she was the daughter of Regent Lance, the emperor's reaction was not strong, probably because he had learned about this from Rachel and Dylan beforehand.
The emperor treated her very well, like a kind and approachable elder.
I talked to her a lot and told her that if Dylan and Lottie bullied her, she didn't need to care about their identities and should just beat them up.
He asked about Lance, but not too much, only saying that he looked forward to seeing his teacher Lance again.
The emperor of the Holy Light Empire was too enthusiastic, and the young dragon was a little uncomfortable. However, on their first meeting, she still gave the Holy Light Empire a gift.
It is a magical potion concocted by Lance to nourish the body. This potion can nourish not only the body, but also the mind and soul.
"Is this a magic potion?"
"Yes, this potion concocted by Lance will make you feel better than ever before."
"It's made by the teacher, then I have to try it."
Emperor Donald of the Holy Light Empire pulled the stopper from the bottle in front of the young dragon, and the aroma of medicine filled the air.
Donald felt inexplicably lighter after just a light sniff.
Just as he was about to drink it all in one gulp, a voice suddenly rang out, "Your Majesty, the medicine has not yet been tested."
"Unnecessary."
Ignoring the minister's warning, Donald drank the medicine in the bottle in one gulp.
If the teacher wanted to harm him, he wouldn't have handed over power to him so readily back then, nor would he have suddenly died of illness a few years after he took over power.
In his heart, his teacher Lance was like a father, teaching him swordsmanship, military strategy, and how to become a qualified emperor.
To prevent assassination attempts, he even personally traveled to the Dwarf Kingdom to forge an inner armor and a full suit of armor for him.
They were also secretly training a powerful imperial guard for him.
He was put to train with the Imperial Guard.
Of course, the teacher never held back when beating him, and didn't show any mercy just because he was the emperor of the Holy Light Empire.
His most relaxed and happy time was when his teacher was the regent.
Only after becoming emperor did he realize how much his teacher had sacrificed for the empire.
"Lucia, you will inherit your teacher's throne. From now on, you will be the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire. You can enter and leave the Light Hall at any time, and you will have the power to punish tyrannical rulers and treacherous officials."
In other words, if the next emperor of the Holy Light Empire is a tyrant after I abdicate, you can beat him up directly, and you have the right to abolish any unreasonable or illegal decrees issued by such a tyrant.
"Yes, this isn't a matter for discussion; it's a right granted to you by the Emperor of the Holy Light Empire."
Young Dragon: (⊙ω⊙`) This works? She never intended to become a real regent.
Goodness gracious! After being persecuted by her Smelly Imperial Sister Asina, her identity has become increasingly outrageous. First, she became the Amethyst Dragonling, then the Queen of the Saint Blue Kingdom, and if she hadn't refused, she would still be the Trainee Death God of Hell.
Now it's even more outrageous; he's become the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire.
From now on, beating up Dylan will be perfectly justified, and interfering in the affairs of the Holy Light Empire will also be perfectly justified. How outrageous! Luckily, she only wants to be the emperor of the Farolyn Empire.
"Your Majesty..."
"Why call me Your Majesty? Call me Uncle. Never mind, just call me Senior Brother."
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
"Okay, very good."
"Then, senior brother, I actually want to go to the Morning Star Domain and won't stay in the Holy Light Empire forever. So, you can just let me inherit the Regent's throne. There's no need to give me so much power."
"It's alright. No matter where you go, you'll still be the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire. If you get bullied outside, just send a message to me, Rachel, or Dylan and Lottie. I'll have the empire's strongest general escort you across domains."
"."
I'm so sad.
The Emperor of the Holy Light Empire is too good. If my Smelly Imperial Sister Asina were this sensible, she wouldn't be thinking about pulling her down from the throne every day.
"Alright, let's go for a stroll outside and enjoy the scenery of the Light King City."
"Okay, then Senior Brother Donald, you're busy."
The young dragon rose and left the Light Hall.
Dragon Knight Hella, followed numbly behind the young dragon. Could this be the legendary case of a silly girl having good luck?
The emperor of the Holy Light Empire actually made her a Little Regent, a position far exceeding that of the king of the Kloss Kingdom.
The position Mills desires is completely disregarded by the naive girl he follows. However, if Mills were to become emperor now, Your Highness Lucia could make his dream come true with just a word.
This man is now the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire.
That very evening, all the generals, nobles, and ministers in the Light King City learned that the Holy Light Empire had gained a new "Little Regent," named Your Highness Lucia.
She is the daughter of Regent Lord Lance.
The next day, the news reached Holy Light City Light King City.
Two days later, everyone in the capital of the Holy Light Empire knew that the Holy Light Empire had gained a Your Highness [Little Regent].
Those who had seen the young dragon in Holy Light Square that day and heard the young dragon Lucia say that she was the Regent's daughter, after a brief moment of astonishment, began to boast to their friends that they had seen the "Little Regent."
On this day, Mills, Julianna, Lambert, Nolan, Owen, Morgan, Phyllis and the others arrived in the capital.
The Holy Light Empire has gained a new "Little Regent"? Shouldn't it have gained a Imperial Daughter instead?
Why is there a new "Little Regent"? "Mills, can we really enter that Floating Imperial City up there?"
"Yes, the identity of a prince of the Kloss Kingdom is still somewhat useful. We can enter the Floating Imperial City tonight, and if we're lucky, we might even meet the Empire's [Little Regent]. I just don't know if we'll run into Lucia."
