A kingdom fallen, a family destroyed

This ancient Kingdom, located on the Western Sea Coast, has a history of tens of thousands of years.

The capital, Landisel, is located at the mouth of a major river on the Western Sea Coast.

It is a prosperous metropolis and a bustling seaport.

Randy Gabriel and his personal guard were originally stationed in this place by the Sun King.

then.

This area is still sparsely populated; apart from a small town on the Western Sea Coast, the rest of the place consists of small Village.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Jiang Yuu appointed Randy Gabriel as the ruler of a Kingdom. If he were given another fertile land, Randy Gabriel with his small force would probably not be able to defend it.

so.

Although Jiang Yuu bestowed upon him a prestigious title, the actual territory he controlled was not fertile, and the total population of his domain was less than 100,000.

However, that is precisely why.

In the early stages of its development, the Gabriel Kingdom was not coveted by anyone and grew smoothly.

Over a period of nearly ten thousand years.

The Gabriel Kingdom gradually developed from a small town to a dozen Village with a population of less than 100,000, into a true Kingdom with millions of inhabitants and an area of nearly a thousand miles.

Although.

During this period, the Kingdom reached its peak population of over ten million, and its influence extended to the central part of the continent.

But not every King Gabriel was wise; there were always a few who were addicted to eating vegetables.

Even Kingdom can face destruction at times.

During the reign of the tenth King, Humon Gabriel, the Kingdom was reduced to nothing more than the royal domain.

Fortunately, the kingdom that attacked Gabriel Kingdom was later attacked by two other nearby Kingdom, thus preventing the Gabriel Kingdom from being destroyed.

But now...

The Gabriel Kingdom is facing the same predicament as it did thousands of years ago.

The current King of the Gabriel Kingdom is the nineteenth King, Faniji Gabriel.

This is his fortieth year in office.

When Faniji Gabriel took over the Kingdom.

This ancient Kingdom, now beset by internal and external troubles, has weakened in power.

King Moan Gabriel reigned for a thousand years, making him one of the longest-reigning King in the Gabriel Kingdom. However, it was this Sequence 4 King who insisted on researching the method of Sequence Immortality in his later years, which ultimately backfired and led to his death, leaving a mess for his sixth-generation descendant, Faniji Gabriel.

After Faniji Gabriel came to power, he devoted himself to politics and worked to mend the dilapidated Kingdom.

The King was diligent in his duties, averse to women, and devoted himself to the affairs of the Kingdom day and night. As a result, he had only one son and one daughter during his forty-year reign.

This was conceived only after the ministers advised it.

This boy and this girl.

The prince's Aguli Gabriel. He was only twenty-nine years old, but he was quite Talent and was already a Sequence 7 Transcendent Being.

The other is Princess Annatania Gabriel, who is exceptionally Talent. Although she is only nine years old, she is already Merchant Sequence 9 Transcendent Being.

now.

King Gabriel the 19th sat on the Jade Throne with a grim expression, a throne said to be a legacy of the ancient Jade Nobility.

He pondered the events of the past few months.

Before March.

Although the Gabriel Kingdom was in ruins, it still managed to maintain the size of a Kingdom.

But at that moment...

An envoy from the North Empire of Nufaluo arrived in the capital to propose marriage between the Kingdom's princess Annatania Gabriel, and the emperor, Rob Nufaluo.

Faniji Gabriel, of course, was unwilling.

His daughter Gabriel was only nine years old; how could she possibly marry that old man who was already three hundred and ninety years old, even older than him?

He politely declined at the time.

However, subsequent developments enraged the young King.

The emperor of the North Nufaluo Empire was enraged and, citing the Gabriel Kingdom's disrespect for the empire, launched a brazen invasion.

In just three months.

The Kingdom's Western Border was shattered, the noble armies of the Eastern Border and Northern Border were driven back to their respective territories, and the Southern Border surrendered.

In recent days.

The army of the Nufaluo Empire is about to besiege Landisear City.

Faniji Gabriel deeply resented those who had been defeated at the front, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

He wanted the nobles and commoners in the capital to come out and protect the capital, but the people in the capital were in a state of panic, and most of them were thinking about how to escape.

He sat on the Jade Throne.

Faniji Gabriel was utterly exhausted.

Decades of painstaking effort resulted in the downfall of the nation.

He let out a heavy cry and then made up his mind.

He was willing to die for the Kingdom.

However, his son and daughter are still young.

There's no need to die with him.

So he called out to his closest guards outside the palace gates.

"Mojiaer, go and fetch the prince and princess."

Even as the Kingdom faces imminent destruction, it will not lack loyal followers.

Mojiaer accepted the order and left.

soon.

A handsome young man brought a delicate and adorable little girl, who, despite her young age, had already blossomed into a beauty that could topple kingdoms, into the royal palace and called out to him.

"Father, we've arrived."

Their eyes showed concern; they were clearly aware of the current situation.

King Faniji Gabriel looked at his young son and felt a surge of satisfaction.

Despite the national crisis, the son remained calm and even had a bright, piercing gaze.

He then looked at his adorable little daughter.

Nine years old isn't actually that young; Annatania Gabriel is already a rather graceful young girl, though still a bit green.

Furthermore, his daughter was exceptionally beautiful, and he would become somewhat lost in thought if he didn't see her for a long time.

Speaking of which...

There were some mysterious events surrounding my daughter's birth.

Nine years ago.

When the queen was about to give birth, she dreamed of a beautiful goddess sitting gracefully beside a Monarch face she could not see, smiling at her.

And on the day she was born, a golden demonic deer suddenly appeared in the city, carrying a golden crown in its mouth, and cried out towards the direction of the royal palace.

Everyone says that this newborn Annatania princess is destined to be the empress of the empire.

This is why the emperor of the North Nufaluo Empire sought to marry the Kingdom's princess.

This has led to the current situation where a large army is at the city gates, and the Kingdom is on the verge of destruction.

For the past three months, Faniji Gabriel has sometimes wondered if she should have married her daughter off back then.

Although they lost their daughter, they preserved their Kingdom.

Of course, he also knew that his daughter was just a trigger; the North Empire had long coveted the Gabriel Kingdom.

But now, upon seeing his daughter, that thought vanished instantly.

He tried to remain gentle and smiled at them.

"Aguli, Anna, come with me."
