Chapter Twenty-Nine: We've Got Our Eyes on the Entire Continent! (Please Subscribe, Receive Monthly Tickets, and Share Your Flowers)

On the ground of the royal palace, the wind howled as the magic ship descended, causing the hair and hems of everyone present to be constantly blown about.

The two princesses and their maids naturally used their hands to shield themselves from the strong wind so as not to mess up their hairstyles.

King Odeon, however, seemed unconcerned, opening his arms like a silly father welcoming his daughter home from school.

As the magic ship fully descended and the hatches opened, the knight squads emerged in two rows. The knights inside the palace immediately split into squads and went to meet them, forming two parallel rows.

Immediately afterwards, King Odeon, accompanied by his two princesses and maids, came forward to greet them.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Veronica. I've heard that you've repelled the rebels and the Imperial army on the border many times over the years. You've done a great job."

Odward remained calm when speaking to Veronica, but when his gaze fell upon Sylvia beside her, an excited expression immediately appeared on the king's face.

"oh--!!!"

"Isn't this my precious princess Sylvia? How are you doing in Ansari? Has anyone offended you? Tell your father, and I'll send men to arrest and behead them right now!!"

Immediately afterwards, the two princesses following behind Odward also curtsied slightly to Veronica.

"Long time no see, Sister Wang." ×2

However, the two princesses' gazes differed from Odwa's; they were looking at the dark-haired man standing to Veronica's right.

Bai Zhe's first impression on the two was that he was very handsome, and with his extraordinary temperament, he was the kind of guy who would make girls scream on the street.

However, the two princesses were not ordinary people. As the highest-ranking nobles in the Knight Kingdom, they had seen all kinds of people and naturally wouldn't be like little girls who couldn't resist seeing Bai Zhe's face.

What both of them cared about most was the other's pair of burning golden eyes, which seemed to be the same as those of the Holy Dragon, but even more noble.

The first to speak was Cassandra, who was dressed very glamorously and gave the impression of being the kind of socialite who would appear at the most prestigious banquets.

"This must be your husband, our brother-in-law, Sister Veronica?"

Like a bewitching flower, the alluring second princess, elegant yet courteous, confirmed the truth of the matter with Veronica, then gracefully bowed to Bai Zhe and said:

"Greetings, I am Cassandra, the second princess of the Kingdom of Loreiamon."

From the moment she met Bai Zhe, she regarded the Demon King as her rival for the throne.

As for the reason, it was of course Veronica's declaration at the banquet in Ansari that she would put Bai Zhe on the throne!

Although on their way here, the two had already changed their choice of who would ascend the throne.

But Cassandra was unaware of this, so behind that beautiful smile lay a deep malice towards Bai Zhe.

Cassandra thought she had concealed her malice well, but she had no idea that this malice was completely exposed to Bai Zhe's perception as an evil dragon.

After the second princess finished introducing herself, the demon king's burning golden eyes slowly looked at her, making Cassandra feel considerable pressure.

Suddenly, the second princess felt as if she had been seen through by the other party. A fine bead of sweat appeared on her fair forehead, and she lowered her head in trepidation.

In this fear of the unknown, Bai Zhe's words pulled her back to reality from her daze.

“Bai Zhe, as Veronica’s sister, I allow you to call me by my first name.”

When she looked up at Bai Zhe again, Cassandra saw a massive, sky-covering evil dragon roaring behind him, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly.

At this moment, the silver-haired princess, noticing Cassandra's unusual behavior, came to her side and bowed gracefully to Bai Zhe, saying:

“Brother-in-law Gui’an, I am the third princess of this country. You can just call me Mirabelle.”

Her words naturally drew Bai Zhe's attention away from Cassandra and towards her.

Although she and Cassandra usually didn't get along, the silver-haired girl still chose to help her family in this situation.

how to say?

The third princess of the Kingdom of Loreiamon gave Bai Zhe the first impression of being someone who preferred research, appeared cold on the outside, but was actually quite warm-hearted.

When she greeted him, her beautiful yet cold smile was only a slight one, but it was more stunning than Cassandra's bewitching smile.

Faced with Mirabelle's overtures and her inquiring yet harmless gaze, Bai Zhe replied in a calm tone, "I'll say the same to you."

"Thank you, but you are Veronica's husband, so how can we call you by your name directly? We'll just call you brother-in-law, please don't mind."

Despite her cold demeanor, Mirabelle's words were flawless, leaving no room for doubt.

At this moment, Veronica, who had been watching Sylvia's enthusiastic disdain for King Odeon, turned to her two younger sisters and asked with a mocking expression:

"Hmph, two cunning little foxes! How about it? Have you found a flaw in my male characters?"

Cassandra and Mirabelle, upon hearing this, naturally wouldn't admit it, otherwise Veronica's fist would have been coming at them in the next second.

Having just experienced the battle, Cassandra said with a forced smile, "Sister Wang, you're joking. We're all family, how could we possibly look for flaws in our own family?"

But Veronica retorted, "Really? I don't think so. I'm looking for weaknesses in you."

To prove the truth of her words, Veronica pointed her greatsword at the two princesses, causing their entourage to immediately place their hands on the longswords at their waists!

But Veronica smiled disdainfully upon seeing this.

"They're all minor characters."

"To tell you the truth, I've come back to seize the throne."

Veronica's words drew everyone's attention to King Odeon, who was standing to the side, showing concern for Sylvia.

Immediately afterwards, the dashing blonde princess slung her greatsword over her shoulder, interrupting the conversation between Odeon and his daughter Sylvia.

“Relinquish the throne, Father.”

Upon hearing this, King Odeon was extremely agitated and looked at Bai Zhe beside him, questioning Veronica: "The throne can be yours, but Veronica, you must tell me, is this the man who ascended the throne?"

Faced with her father's questioning, the blonde queen spoke directly: "It seems that my previous announcement did indeed reach here, but on the way here, I discussed it with Bai Zhe, and the one who will ascend the throne of the Knight King is Sylvia."

Then, she uttered something that shocked everyone present.

"The throne of the Knight Kingdom is not enough for me as a man; what we value is this entire continent."

"What a loud tone!"

"Do you know what consequences your actions will bring to the entire Kingdom of Knights? Can the Royal Family of Loreamon bear these consequences?!"

Listening to Veronica's bold words and seeing the look of excitement on King Odeon's face after Sylvia became the chosen one to ascend the throne.

Cassandra decided to drop the pretense and directly questioned the blonde princess in front of her, who was dressed in armor and looked as valiant as a battlefield Valkyrie.

Even Mirabelle, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes, but she wasn't as excited as Cassandra, who yearned for the throne.

Just as her title of Silver Radiance Lady suggests, she calmly and reservedly observed all the changes that occurred during this family reunion.

Of course, her gaze was mainly focused on Bai Zhe.

Because she knew that all the changes occurred after this man appeared!

Even before that, after first learning that Veronica had a man, she had sent her subordinates to investigate Bai Zhe.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The other party was shrouded in mystery, as if they had suddenly appeared in this world!

Wait, suddenly in this world...

When Mirabelle looks at Bai Zhe with a thoughtful and curious gaze, Veronica also elicits Cassandra's questioning.

"as a result of?"

"Of course, my Knight Kingdom will become the only country on this continent, and my husband, as the only king of this land, will reign supreme!"

"Moreover, given his strength and status, this is exactly what he should have done."

Faced with the confident Veronica, Cassandra, unwilling to give up, spoke again: "Do you think the Knights Kingdom or any individual can stand against the Empire and the Kingdom?"

She did harbor such ambitions, such as wanting to strengthen the Knights Kingdom.

However, if you don't have the strength to match your ambition, it would be a foolish choice to expose it, and you would only make yourself a target of criticism!

In Cassandra's understanding, the Knights Kingdom, established between the Empire and the Kingdom, did not possess the power to wage a full-scale war against either side!

This time, however, she was interrupted by Veronica before she could finish speaking.

Pointing his greatsword at the black-haired princess Veronica, he coldly reprimanded her:

"Enough, Cassandra. I've already answered one of your questions: don't take my kindness and kinship for granted."

"With Bai Zhe around, neither the Imperial Army nor the Kingdom Army are anything but a rabble."

"When the flag is raised, our dragon horde will blot out the sky!"

Veronica's icy gaze silenced Cassandra in fear, while King Odeon was speechless with shock at the princess's presence.

In the end, Mirabelle asked the crucial question.

"Why are you so confident, Sister Veronica? Even if all the dragon knights of the entire Knight Kingdom were gathered together, they probably couldn't accomplish what you're talking about. Or is it...?"

"Over the years, you have accumulated power at the border that we do not know about, or you have found some ancient legacy that can manipulate the dragon race, or perhaps our brother-in-law has the ability to do such an exaggerated thing?"

As the silver-haired princess finished speaking, her clear, azure eyes, as blue as lake water, clearly saw the look of approval on Veronica's face.

“That’s right, this is exactly the kind of task that Bai Zhe’s powers are needed to accomplish.”

In response to Mirabelle's question, Veronica nodded, then turned to her adjutant and asked:

"Have you completed all the tasks I previously instructed?"

Upon hearing this, the adjutant stepped forward from the ranks, bowed, and said solemnly, "It's done, Your Highness. A total of 3,291 people, including captured alien rebels, imperial spies, and death row inmates, have been taken outside the capital."

Upon hearing the number of prisoners reported by Lieutenant Veronica, even King Odewa had to question her: "You brought so many prisoners to the capital. Do you know what kind of impact this would have on the capital if these prisoners rioted?"

There were more than three thousand people. If it weren't for the large number of dragon knights guarding them, and the fact that these prisoners and convicts only had one meal a day on the way to the capital, and each person didn't even get a piece of bread, they would have been completely exhausted and unable to resist when they arrived in the capital.

Such a number of people could easily form an army and inflict irreparable damage on the capital!

Faced with Odwa's questioning, Veronica laughed and said, "A lot? Only a little over three thousand. I think that's too few people. It's not enough to gradually create the 'sky-covering' scene I'm talking about."

Bai Zhe also agreed with Veronica's point that there were too few people.

"With this small number of people, it is indeed a bit of a stretch to wage war against both the Empire and the Kingdom at the same time, but if I take action personally, things will be much simpler."

Veronica immediately rejected Bai Zhe's proposal upon hearing it.

"No need. If I were to make you take action under these circumstances, wouldn't that diminish the sense of conquest? How could I then offer this continent to you?"

Seeing the serious expression on the blonde princess's face, Bai Zhe chuckled and said, "It should be men waging wars to gain status and capture women, so why is it the other way around here?"

Upon hearing Bai Zhe's words, Veronica's face showed anger.

However, he was not angry at Bai Zhe, but rather at his own weakness.

"It's because you're too powerful. The gap between us makes me somewhat desperate. If I don't personally conquer this continent and give it to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept your future favor."

"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this now. The most important thing is to get Sylvia onto the throne first."

"You insolent father... what will you say?"

When Veronica changed the subject and steered the conversation toward herself, Audrey chose to follow his heart.

"If you're able, Veronica, then take it."

"You mean I should cut off your head to take the throne?"

Upon hearing this, Veronica's eyes flashed with a cold light. As she raised her greatsword, all the soldiers in the palace drew their swords at the same moment, and the Dragon Knights even tried to fly into the sky to unleash their magic.

In that instant, as Bai Zhe's burning golden eyes slowly looked over, a sudden sense of oppression pressed the Dragon Knights to the ground, rendering them unable to move. They could only watch helplessly as Veronica's troops captured them one by one.

"It is best for servants not to meddle in their master's family affairs."

Seeing that the renowned Royal Dragon Riders had been defeated so inexplicably, the two princesses dared not make any move. Fortunately, because of their status, Veronica's soldiers did not show any disrespect to them.

At the same time, facing the greatsword raised by Veronica, King Odeon panicked and said, "Wait, wait, Veronica! I never said I wouldn't hand over the throne!!"
