Something's Wrong, Your Majesty! The Demons Have Launched a Massive Invasion!

The silver greatsword, radiating holy light, was branded with a golden spear. At the spearhead were two ancient characters, one on each side, and the characters shimmered with a golden-red light.

When Cardinal Frick of the War God Temple saw the two ancient characters, a thunderous sound rang in his ears. As a cardinal, he naturally recognized the two ancient characters.

Those are divine runes; the left one is "Courage" and the right one is "Martial Arts." The small golden spear on the silver Holy Sword also bears the symbol of the War God Holy Mountain, a mountain radiating golden light.

Bishop Frick felt a chill run down his spine. Princess Lucia, the third in line to the Imperial Daughter, who had disappeared for nearly three years, returned and not only became the emperor of the Farolyn Empire in a single day, but she also carried with her Holy Relic from the Light Holy Mountain and the War God Holy Mountain.

Not only that, she also received the blessing of the Valkyrie. What exactly did she experience during the two years she disappeared? "The Holy Sword from the War God Holy Mountain. As a Cardinal of the War God Temple, you should recognize it, right? If you don't even recognize it, then it is your honor to see me in the Roland Great Hall today."

You have no right to bless me, but I have the right to punish and judge you. Even before the statue of the God of War, wielding the sacred Holy Sword of the War God Holy Mountain, I dare to judge you, Your Excellency the Bishop.

The young dragon placed the silver greatsword in front of him, its hands resting on the hilt, its clear, bright purple-gold eyes radiating a cool light.

"Bishop Frick, you don't even have divinity, so don't talk about divine authority. Besides, the Empire has never persecuted any temple clergy, nor has it infringed on the rights of any of the major temples."

On the other hand, the clergy of the various temples within the empire—I mean, cardinals like you—have not walked the earth for a long time. You no longer see the suffering and disease of the world, and your true nature has been devoured by worldly desires.

You claim to uphold the gods, but in reality, you are upholding your own lust for power. Bishop Frick, you should reflect on your actions behind closed doors."

The young dragon rebuked Cardinal Fleck of the War God Temple without any politeness, and after saying these words, she felt inexplicably flustered.

She intended to make Cardinal Fleck of the War God Temple realize his mistake in a relatively gentle way, but as she spoke, her words involuntarily became sharp, and she no longer wanted to engage in pretense with these cardinals.

Two years ago, she would never have dared to reprimand the cardinal of the temple like that.

Perhaps it was because I had been around Lance for a long time that I was subtly influenced by Lance, or more likely it was due to Lance's lectures.

Lance once said that it's okay to suffer a little injustice occasionally before you have the strength.

Once you have the strength, you shouldn't tolerate any grievances unless you've done something wrong.

Once you feel frustrated or your thoughts are blocked, you must vent these negative emotions. Whoever caused these negative emotions, beat them to death! If beating them to death isn't enough, beat their soul! Beating their soul... Lance can do that, but she... hasn't inherited Lance's position as the Grim Reaper yet, so she can't do that for now.

The reason she became so assertive was probably because the arrogant attitude of the cardinal in front of her provoked her.

What's with this mere cardinal acting so arrogantly in front of her? She's the Saint Blue Kingdom King, recognized by all the major temples, yet she's acting so arrogantly.

Her Lance's Father, was not only the Dragon God Temple First Pope, but also the strongest black dragon known in the human world. His dragon body was larger than that of all Pure-Blooded Dragon, and he also had many other identities!

As Lance's Father's cub, was she proud? Was she arrogant?

Not to mention that her Lance's Father, is Dragon Island Royal Family!

As the adopted daughter of Lance's Father, she is practically half a member of the Dragon Island Royal Family! Not to mention, she is also the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire in the Holy Light Domain! And the emperor of the Farolyn Empire!

With all his titles, what makes a mere cardinal act so arrogant in front of her? He even blessed her—does he deserve it?

Thinking of these things, the young dragon's aura grew stronger and stronger, and its gaze toward the cardinal became increasingly cold.

"Your Lucia, as a cardinal of the War God Temple, I will not tolerate such humiliation from you! You have no right to judge me, even if you are the emperor of the Farolyn Empire and wield the Holy Sword of the War God Holy Mountain, you still have no right to judge me."

Frick was furious, saying that he had no divinity, and that a mere teenage girl didn't know what divinity was!

They even want to judge him? What right does the emperor of the human world have to judge a cardinal like him? "Hela, take him down."

"Yes, ma'am."

Dragon Knight Hella flashed in front of Cardinal Frick, unleashed her domain, and pulled Cardinal Frick into it.

Cardinal Frick of the War God Temple had no time to react. To be precise, Frick simply did not believe that the young dragon would dare to attack him, nor did he believe that anyone could defeat him, the Cardinal of the War God Temple, in an instant.

The young dragon took a scroll from the Lucky Coin and handed it to Hela, saying, "If he dares to resist, have my master suppress him."

"Clear!"

Dragon Knight Hella Hela, holding the scroll in both hands, disappeared into the hall and entered her own domain. After all, he was a cardinal of the War God Temple, so she had to show him some respect.

The cardinals of the Temple of Light, the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, and other temples were all filled with disbelief upon witnessing this scene. In all the long history of the Farolyn Empire, there had never been a case of the emperor imprisoning a cardinal of a temple.

Not only were the bishops of the major temples astonished, but even the regents Asina, Melissa, and Eva were all taken aback.

She directly took down the Cardinal of the War God Temple. Does Her Majesty Lucia (the princess) know what she's doing?

Even if she possessed the Silver Holy Sword given to her by the Saintess of the War God Holy Mountain, she shouldn't have directly taken down the Cardinal of the War God Temple.

This move will definitely enrage the clergy of the War God Temple, as well as the War God Temple's knightly legions.

"Your Majesty Lucia, do you intend to declare war on the various temples?" Cardinal Mason of the Temple of Light questioned the young dragon.

"Bishop Mason, do you intend to raise the banner of divine authority and oppose me?"

"How dare you show such disrespect to us, the clergy of this temple! Aren't you afraid of angering the gods?!"

"Bishop Mason, I give you two choices: one, be taken down by me; two, return to the temple, reflect on your actions in seclusion, and from now on, do not abuse your divine authority to satisfy your selfish desires!"

Cardinal Mason was suddenly enveloped in a dazzling platinum-gold light.

The platinum holy light that had just appeared on Mason vanished in the blink of an eye. "Her Lucia is right. As the Emperor of the Empire, I, as a Cardinal, am indeed not qualified to question you, Her Majesty."

Didn't His Majesty order me to go back and reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors? I will go back and reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors right now.

Cardinal Mason smiled at the young dragon, then turned and left the hall.

Cardinal Natalia of the Temple of Wisdom glanced at Mason as he turned to leave, thinking that Mason had acted impulsively.

When Mason left, he was clearly filled with resentment and anger, which would cause him to lose his mind.

"Your Majesty Lucia, from this day forward, my Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom will not excessively encroach upon the interests of the Empire."

"Bishop Natalia, what you need to do is to stop recruiting girls and boys from the academy so casually in the future. Girls with divinity and divine affinity, even if you don't say anything, the Empire will find out and take the initiative to inquire about them or recommend them to the Goddess of Wisdom."

"I understand Your Majesty's meaning." Cardinal Natalia nodded with a smile. Now that she thought about it, she had indeed forced many outstanding girls and boys to join the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom over the years.

She wasn't the only one; cardinals from various temples have done the same.

Those children who join the temple will have no future but to fight for the temple.

"Does Your Majesty Lucia require a blessing from the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom?"

"I received the blessing of the Goddess of Wisdom a long time ago, and I ate the Wisdom Fruit."

As soon as she finished speaking, a Wisdom Fruit appeared in the young dragon's hand, which she generously showed to the cardinal of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom.

Cardinal Natalia looked at the baby Dragon Eye with a newfound respect when she saw the Wisdom Fruit in its hand.

The Wisdom Fruit, like the Light Fruit, grows only on the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain. Only the lucky ones who have come into contact with the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain have the opportunity to obtain the Wisdom Fruit.

Not to mention that the third in line to the throne of the empire in front of us also said that she had eaten the Wisdom Fruit.

Having eaten a Wisdom Fruit, and still possessing Wisdom Fruit, he said, "Your Majesty is right. I am indeed unworthy to bestow blessings upon Your Majesty. Upon returning today, I will seclude myself to reflect on my actions over the past few years."

"Bishop Natalia is a woman of great wisdom."

Natalia bowed to the young dragon and turned to leave.

Cardinal Ophina of the Temple of Goddess of Luck's gaze would occasionally fall on the young dragon's neck, around which hung an extremely ancient Lucky Coin.

This Lucky Coin also emanates a faint trace of divinity.

Without a doubt, Her Majesty Lucia was also blessed by Goddess of Luck.

"I should also reflect on what I have done in the past few years. Her Majesty Lucia made me realize that I seem to have gone very, very far down the wrong path. As a bishop of the temple, I have indeed lost my way in worldly desires."

Cardinal Phyllis of the Moon God Temple bowed to the young dragon as Ophina left, and then followed her away.

Their Moon God Temple has no conflicts with the Farolyn Empire, nor has it encroached on the Empire's rights. They just occasionally encounter people with divine affinity and bring them back to the temple for training without going through the Empire. They just need to be more careful in the future.

Only Saintess Aurora remained in the Roland Great Hall.

She was very curious and wanted to know why the dragon cub beside Lance was still Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire.

Why did she, a Amethyst Dragonling, suddenly become the Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire?

This matter needs to be thoroughly investigated.

However, she heard that more than two years ago, a black dragon had snatched a Amethyst Dragonling from the skies above the capital of Farolan.

Saintess Aurora was pondering the identity of the young dragon.

The ministers and nobles of the Farolyn Empire's capital all looked at the young dragon with utmost respect.

They finally understood why Her Majesty Lucia, who had suddenly returned, was able to become the Emperor of the Empire in a single day.

The struggle between divine and imperial power has officially ended today! "Regent Asina, the so-called struggle between divine and imperial power has come to an end. The rest is up to you, the Regent. You should be clear about how the Empire and the Temple should interact. Negotiations and contacts with the Temple are now your responsibility."

The things you couldn't solve as emperor, I solved for you. You call me "Your Majesty," isn't a loss for you?

So refreshing!

Having demonstrated his abilities before Asina, the young dragon turned and surveyed the ministers and nobles in the hall, proclaiming loudly, "I wish to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for myself and receive some gifts... oh no, I mean, I want to liven up the capital. Do any of you think there's anything inappropriate about this?"

"There is nothing wrong with it! His Majesty's coming-of-age ceremony should be held again! I just don't know when His Majesty would like to hold the ceremony again?"

"Today is a good day. Tonight, all ministers, please bring your children to the palace to participate in my coming-of-age ceremony."

"."

Your Majesty Lucia, you're really not hiding your little scheme to amass wealth at all. Even the former Emperor Asina was ashamed to look at you. What kind of emperor would say he wants to hold a coming-of-age ceremony in front of his ministers?

This attitude is a disgrace to the emperor. At six o'clock in the evening, ministers and nobles of the capital brought their most outstanding descendants to the palace to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of Emperor Lucia.

They all carried valuable gifts.

His Majesty made it clear to them during the day that he wanted to accept gifts.

If they didn't bring gifts tonight, His Majesty might write them down. Then, a scene that left the ministers and nobles of the capital dumbfounded unfolded: the person registering and receiving the gifts was none other than His Majesty, who had suppressed the cardinals of the major temples in one fell swoop at the Roland Great Hall during the day!

His Majesty sat at the door, smiling as he accepted the gifts. He then registered the ministers' names in the register, noting the date and what they had given. It was as if His Majesty was keeping a meticulous record! The ministers, carrying the lavish gifts, were beaming with joy.

Ministers and nobles who had received ordinary gifts hurriedly instructed their families to increase the value of their gifts. Around 8 p. m., Youlong happily put away his little notebook and counted the gifts he had received for his coming-of-age ceremony.

She had Regent Asina estimate that the gifts she received tonight were worth approximately 300,000 gold coins. A huge sum! To raise money for her Lance's Father's wedding, she, the emperor, had even abandoned all pretense of dignity.

Once Lance finds her, she doesn't believe Lance 'll still have the heart to beat her up!

Just as the young dragon was about to reward his stinky Imperial Sister with ten gold coins, Melissa, dressed in armor, suddenly rushed up to them and exclaimed, "Your Majesty! A large number of demons have appeared in the capital!"

These demons are causing panic throughout the capital, attacking civilians. The Wyvern Knight Order, Griffin Knight, and Flying Bear Knight Order are engaged in fierce battle with them! Only a portion of the knights from the Temple of Light and the War God Temple are assisting us in fighting the demons; the Valkyrie Temple's paladins and all the temple knights have been mobilized! The Nine Pure-Blooded Dragons who followed Her Lucia has also joined the battle. Even so, we still cannot kill all the demons in a short time!
