Chapter 337 Princess Anxia's Speculation

Chapter 337 Princess Anxia's Speculation

"Hah!"

"Ha!"

The clear shouts like the singing of a nightingale came from the palace in the inner castle of the Red Castle. Little Princess Kunlaya was practicing fighting skills.

The eleven-year-old little Princess Kunlaya, wearing a short shirt, wielded the fine steel sword seriously, and used the traction of the moves to carefully open her meridians.

Her little face was flushed.

The sweat wet her forehead and soaked her short shirt.

"Kunlaya, take a rest." Seeing this, Princess Anxia felt distressed and hurriedly persuaded Little Princess Kunlaya to take a rest.

But although Little Princess Kunlaya was tired, she shook her head firmly: "No, mother, I want to continue practicing!"

"Today is a happy day. Your brother Russell has successfully been promoted to a flying dragon knight. You can write a letter to him later... Forget it, he will definitely be named a duchy lord. Invite him to have a meal at home then."

Princess Anxia then persuaded again: "Kunlaya, take a rest."

"No, mother." Little Princess Kunlaya continued to shake her head.

"You silly girl, why are you so stubborn? What's wrong with taking a day off? What if you tire yourself out?"

"Mother, have you sent someone to inquire about Brother Russell's situation? Don't you know that Brother Russell practiced hard every day when he was a child, without interruption? It is because of this persistence that he can ride a dragon successfully today!"

After saying that.

Kunlaya finished waving a fighting martial arts, and took the opportunity to say: "I also want to practice hard and get the recognition of His Highness Yingyan in the future."

I don't know how this sentence touched Princess Anxia's nerves. Princess Anxia, ​​who was originally smiling, suddenly turned cold and scolded: "Why are you like your dead brother, aiming high!"

"Mother, I..."

"Don't say it anymore, Kunlaya, you practice hard and mother recognizes you, but don't talk about getting the recognition of His Highness Yingyan casually!" Princess Anxia said, and she regretted her heavy tone.

So she calmed down and said gently: "Kunlaya, set a smaller goal and strive to get the recognition of a two-legged dragon."

Little Princess Kunlaya didn't understand why she couldn't aim for the recognition of the Shadow Flame Dragon, but she still nodded obediently: "Yes, mother."

"Okay, you continue to practice."

Looking at her daughter's hard-working figure, Princess Anxia sighed in her heart: "Silly daughter, the Shadow Flame Dragon is interested in your brother Russell. This is the first time in so many years that the Shadow Flame Dragon has seriously mentioned a knight."

In Princess Anxia's view, the Shadow Flame Dragon would never mention an ordinary knight for no reason.

It is very likely that Russell is the dragon knight chosen by the Shadow Flame Dragon for himself, and he is just waiting for Russell to grow up.

"After losing to the snow giant twice, the Shadow Flame Dragon may have suffered enough without a knight. Now it is indeed time to put down the pride of the dragon and train a knight for himself." Princess Anxia thought that this was the most reasonable explanation.

Of course.

Even if Russell ultimately fails to meet the standards of the Shadow Flame Dragon and becomes a Dragon Rider, the Dragon Rider position will not fall on Kunlaya.

In the eyes of Princess Anxia, ​​the three chosen sons are likely to be the direct descendants of the Shadow Flame Dragon Blood Family in the future.

And she and Kunlaya have been completely abandoned by the Shadow Flame Dragon with the death of Grand Duke Kunstan. If it weren't for the Shadow Flame Dragon still remembering the contractual friendship of Quentin III Shadow Flame, I'm afraid that a mouthful of dragon flame would burn them to ashes.

After all, her father has always been planning to take over the Shadow Flame Dragon.

"It's right for the Shadow Flame Dragon to hate us. Even I hate the blood of the Fiery Sun Royal Family in my body." Princess Anxia sighed, silently left the palace, and walked along the passage under the Red Castle to the Shadow Flame Volcano.

No matter what.

The Shadow Flame Dragon is still the patron saint of her and Princess Kunlaya.

So Princess Anxia quietly walked into the volcano, across the scorching magma, looking at the Shadow Flame Dragon's head floating on the surface of the magma.

Silently praying: "Your Highness Shadow Flame, your devout servant An Xia is here to tell you a good news. Russell successfully rode a dragon... It is said to be a black oil dragon named Rose. Your territory has added a warm enclave..."

Gulp.

The magma rolled and bubbled.

The Shadow Flame dragon seemed to have fallen into a deep hibernation, and did not respond to Princess An Xia's prayers.

...

The Castle That Never Sleeps.

The Swan Baron Kunbif Shadow Flame, disguised, quietly came to this brightly lit castle.

"Kunbif, come to me openly, why do you have to disguise yourself all day long, as if others really don't know that you have cooperated with me." Marquis Arnold Lieyang sat in a chair, smoking a cigar comfortably.

Recently, he has been completely fascinated by cigars, especially the Frost Cigars made by Magic Tobacco.

It must be said that the Frost Cigars with the gimmick of special supply are very exciting to smoke, but it's a pity that there are only 100 boxes, and he sometimes can't bear to smoke them.

One less smoke.

Anyway, when entertaining guests, he never uses frost cigars, but always uses cloud cigars and white dew cigars. Anyway, they are free - the profits from the trade of cloud cigars and white dew cigars between the two countries go into his pocket, so naturally they are free.

"Marquis Arnold, please stop talking and give me some face." Baron Quinbiff sighed.

"Is it shameful to socialize with me? Don't you see that poets, writers, painters, and musicians from the entire Windrage City and the entire Shadowflame Grand Duchy all want to take refuge in my Castle That Never Sleeps, and noble ladies even fight each other for an invitation."

"Is this the same thing?" Baron Kunbif couldn't help rolling his eyes, "When Queensley ascends the throne as Grand Duke..."

"Not Grand Duke, but Duke." Marquis Arnold corrected casually.

Kunbif couldn't help rolling his eyes again and continued, "Now Queensley's election has changed. Haven't you heard that Russell has picked up a flying dragon and promoted to a flying dragon knight! Mel has added another big help!"

He counted on his fingers and gestured, "Augustus didn't say much. At most, he won over Davis Golden Mushroom to support him, which was not a big deal. But now Russell has ridden a dragon, Marquis Arnold, Mel already has three great nobles behind him!"

As he gestured.

Earl of Stone and Baron of Gold supported the election Augustus.

Baron Swan, Baron Horn, and Baron Black Court support the election of Young Master Quincelay.

Count Floating Rose and Baron Dark Light support the election of Young Master Mel.

Everyone has similar power, but Quincelay is from the side branch of the Shadow Flame Family and cooperates with the Blazing Torrent Kingdom behind Marquis Arnold, so he can naturally win the election.

But now that Russell has successfully ridden a dragon, it means that Mel has the support of another baron. The most important thing is that Count Merlin, Baron Roman, and Russell are all dragon riders with strong combat power, which really makes him uneasy.

"A mere Russell, is it necessary to scare you so much?" Marquis Arnold said, "Aren't you going to win over Lord Welch? If you let Gvedas win over Drela, then there will be two more dragon knights."

"Guess what Russell did first when he rode his dragon?"

"What?"

"He went to Poplar Gobi."

"Well, so what?"

"Based on my understanding of Gvedas, this fence-sitter has definitely turned to Mel. He can't give up the family marriage with the two dragon knights. Drela probably can't be counted on." Kunbiff gritted his teeth.

Marquis Arnold said nonchalantly: "Look at the long-term. There are eight dragon knights among the three hundred lords. You have already won over Welch. Just win over a few more."

"That's easy for you to say."

"Everything depends on human efforts." Marquis Arnold shook off the ash from his cigarette, "and you have my Blazing Torrent Kingdom as your backing, what are you afraid of!"

"Alas!" Kunbiff nodded and stopped talking.

In fact, what he was afraid of was the Blazing Torrent Kingdom, which could support his grandson Quinsley today, Merlin's grandson Mel tomorrow, and even Augustus, Osklo's son, the day after tomorrow.

Whoever could sell out more of the interests of the Grand Duchy would be supported by the Blazing Torrent Kingdom.

Half an hour later, Kunbiff disguised himself and left the Never-Night Castle with a worried look on his face. Marquis Arnold, who did not see him out, sat in a chair and fell into deep thought.

"Russell was promoted to a flying dragon knight... Is this kid lucky, or is the Shadow Flame dragon resisting? Haha, a knight who is looked at by a dragon... With Shadow Flame's current state, how can he resist!"

Thinking of this, he no longer took Russell's dragon riding to heart.

But he muttered to himself: "I originally wanted to take another 10% of the profits from the cigar trade, but now I have to give the flying dragon knight a little face, so I'll just maintain 80%... After all, the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame still has to rely on these nobles to govern."
