The rise of the South Empire

Jiang Yuu nodded with a smile.

"Good."

"And I have another request, I hope you won't refuse."

"Speak, Anna."

"I am the princess of the fallen Gabriel Kingdom. Revealing my identity in the South Empire would benefit my future development, but it would also bring me trouble."

Annatania expressed her concerns.

Being a princess of a fallen kingdom could certainly bring her advantages, but it would also attract the covetous eyes of many.

Some ambitious men are even willing to marry a princess in hopes of future benefits.

After all, Annatania's trip to see the South Empire's Empress was to "offer" the five borders of the Western Sea Coast of the Gabriel Kingdom to the South Empire.

At the same time, a large number of exiles from the Gabriel Kingdom will hear this news and travel thousands of miles to the empire to find the princess, making them an easily accessible force.

If the South Empire ultimately defeats the North Empire and the Gabriel Kingdom's territory is recovered by the Empire, the princess's status will bring her territory and wealth.

Moreover, Annatania was exceptionally beautiful, with few rivals even in the South Empire.

"I hope you can accompany me to see the Empress as my fiancé."

Annatania said this with some trepidation and a slight blush.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuu looked at her expression and found it somewhat amusing, but then he remembered that this was in the historical period.

So, after hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell her the truth.

"Anna, all these years, have you ever known my true identity?"

Annatania's eyes flickered.

"Silver hair and purple eyes—this is the signature feature of the Great Sun King. Few people on the entire Feland Continent possess such physical characteristics."

"Furthermore, I have actually read many accounts about the Sun King, and he did not leave any descendants."

Randy Gabriel was Jiang Yuu's personal guard in his early years and later became the commander of the personal guard. The historical records he made are obviously more authentic.

She widened her eyes and voiced her inner guess.

"So, Yuliel, you are the Sun King from ten thousand years ago?"

"That's right, I am the Sun King!"

"So, you really won't marry, and you don't love beauty or power?"

Annatania was somewhat worried.

"That's not the case, because I already have a wife."

Jiang Yuu.

Annatania, however, felt dejected.

"I see, I understand now."

No, you don't understand. My wife is you.

Jiang Yuu pressed down on her shoulder.

"Ah?!"

Annatania was surprised; when had she married him?

"In the future, you will be my destined wife."

"Future?"

Annatania was utterly bewildered.

Jiang Yuu said solemnly.

"However, since you need this title now, I'm certainly willing to give it to you."

"However, I won't stay in this era for long. For a long time to come, you'll have to face things on your own."

"Why is that?"

"Even if we find out in the future."

Jiang Yuu smiled, and then spoke.

"I will take you, in the name of the Sun King, to meet this Empress."

Jiang Yuu was willing to condescend to meet the emperor of a mere mortal kingdom, all so that the development of Annatania in history would not be hindered.

Although he could directly help Annatania become Lord of Wealth, it would be too easy. Annatania would never be able to reach the heights she would reach in the future, neither in terms of personality nor wisdom. He did not want to change Annatania too much.

Thank you, Yuliel.

Annatania was deeply moved.

Three days later.

Jiang Yuu and Annatania, accompanied by several Dragon guards, headed directly to the Imperial Palace.

After confirming Annatania Gabriel's identity as the princess of the fallen Kingdom Gabriel and presenting relevant noble credentials...

The Imperial Palace guards dared not delay and immediately informed Empress Nafaluolin inside the palace.

soon.

They were then welcomed into the Imperial Palace.

Walking calmly along the wide and grand Imperial Palace avenue, Jiang Yuu, on the other hand, was observing the imperial Imperial Palace with great Annatania.

The Imperial Palace of the Southern Empire covers a vast area and is very grand and magnificent, even older and more spectacular than the palace of the Gabriel Kingdom.

and.

These buildings have a distinct Tuyalu People style, with wave-like sculptures on their roofs and along the roads, making them look like a magnificent and beautiful blue-yellow ocean on land.

In fact.

Although the royal family of the South Empire has always called themselves the Jade Nobility, they are not truly the Jade Nobility.

Their ancestors were the Tuyalu People lived on the Tuyalu Islands, overseas in the eastern part of the South Empire.

Tuyalu Island is an island with a suitable climate, making it easy for Human Race to survive and thrive. People have lived there for 100,000 years.

Furthermore, Tuyalu Island is very close to the Feland Continent, and for a long time, conflicts on the continent have affected Tuyalu Island.

And so for tens of thousands of years.

The Tuyalu People on Tuyalu Island have changed several times over; the genuine Tuyalu People no longer exist.

More than four thousand years ago.

A fierce war broke out among several Kingdom and duchies along the Eastern Sea Coast.

The ruler of Tuyalu Island at the time, the conqueror Mason Tua, was related to the Weilunlafa Royal House on the Eastern Sea Coast by marriage; he married a princess of the Weilunlafa Royal House.

The Weilunlafa Kingdom is facing a losing war and is on the verge of collapse.

Before his death in battle, the King wrote a letter requesting Mason Tua's help.

then.

Mason Tuya left Tuyalu Island and began his eventful life.

He led the combined forces of Tuyalu and Weilunlafa to defeat several Kingdom and duchies on the Eastern Sea Coast, incorporating their territories into the Weilunlafa Kingdom.

After the war, he made his wife Queen of Weilunlafa and appointed himself Prince of Weilunlafa and Grand Duke Tuyalu.

In reality, he was the true ruler of the Kingdom.

After his death.

His son, Seren Tua, changed his surname to Weilunlafa in order to inherit the throne.

He is not actually Princess Weilunlafa's biological son.

After ascending to the throne, he began to work diligently to govern the country and expand the territory.

After Selun Tuya's death, his son was also a wise ruler who, over several centuries, seized opportunities to launch military campaigns to expand the Kingdom's territory, making it increasingly powerful.

By the time Mason Tua's sixth-generation grandson ascended to the throne, the Weilunlafa Kingdom had already occupied one-third of the southern lands of Feland.

Then, this sixth King continued to work diligently to govern the country and conquer the southern kingdoms.

By the time Mason Tua's eighth-generation descendant, Garde Weilunlafa, the Kingdom had already occupied half of the southern continent.

Following the example of the Aslanna Empire ten thousand years ago, Gard Weilunlafa changed the Kingdom to an empire, establishing the Weilunlafa Empire. He proclaimed himself the first emperor of the empire, and in order to make the empire truly live up to its name...

He began actively campaigning against the southern kingdoms.

Over several hundred years.

The Weilunlafa Empire occupied almost two-thirds of the southern continent, and the remaining Kingdom and duchies all expressed their submission.
