Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress-Chapter 829 - 466: Is the Imperial Princess of my Phalan Empire, the Little Regent King of the Holy Light Empire?!

Chapter 829: Chapter 466: Is the Imperial Princess of my Phalan Empire, the Little Regent King of the Holy Light Empire?!

The third in line to the succession of the Phalan Empire, who dare to say this person lacks the qualification to be the Emperor of Farolan?

Having the qualification to be the Emperor of Farolan and actually becoming the Emperor are two different matters.

Not to mention, if this person before me truly becomes the Emperor of Farolan, he will have to respectfully address this person as Your Majesty.

“Swear.”

“???”

A look of confusion appears on the face of Gabriel, the Governor of Anselm Province.

Swear?

Is he being asked to swear allegiance already?

No, he has not yet intended to betray Queen Athena, nor does he wish to swear allegiance to the person before him.

“Your Highness… I have no intention of betraying Your Majesty… I…”

“I’m asking you to swear not to reveal what you know to others, nor to divulge my information to the sovereign you serve. I’m not asking you to swear allegiance to me. Rest assured, I intend to be Emperor, but not through inciting a civil war to become the Emperor of Farolan.”

???

Does Her Highness mean… not to reveal her identity to others?

Not… if the Governors of other provinces of the Empire are unaware of Her Highness’s identity, how does she plan to become the Emperor of Farolan?

Logically, shouldn’t Her Highness be having him widely publicize her identity and then take the opportunity to win over a group of Governors willing to pledge loyalty and follow her?

Ordering him to swear to conceal her identity, what’s this strategy?

“Um… Your Highness, are you sure… you want me to do this?”

“Yes. If you break the oath, you’ll be unlucky for a hundred years. The content of the oath is just what I’ve just said, swear.”

“…”

Unlucky for a hundred years?

Her Highness is giving him too much credit; if he lives another eighty years, he’d be considered long-lived.

Besides… such a child’s play oath, what binding force does it have?

With her personality, she won’t be able to become the Emperor of Farolan.

“I swear, I… If I break the oath, may I be unlucky for a hundred years.”

Boom—

The moment Gabriel finishes the last sentence of the oath, a thunderclap echoes in his mind, along with an ancient language carrying supreme divine authority resounding within his mind. He has never heard that ancient language, yet he understands its meaning: [The oath is established].

After grasping the meaning of the ancient language, Gabriel feels his scalp tingling and his legs go weak. There were gods… witnessing his oath!

How is this possible?!!

How could such a casual oath attract the attention of the gods?!

The person before him, Her Highness… could she be one blessed by the gods?!

“Remember, you must not reveal my identity to any being, or you’ll be unlucky for a hundred years.”

“Your Highness, rest assured, I dare not break the oath.”

The gods have responded, how could he dare to break the content of the oath.

Queen Athena, my apologies, it’s not that I can conceal the truth, it’s that Lady Lucia is too cunning. She made me take a poison oath in advance, and the key point is, that frivolous oath has actually alerted the gods…

Is this reasonable?

This is not reasonable at all!

“Starting today, the Martial God Temple will no longer interfere in the affairs of Anselm Province. The Governors of Anselm Province can’t oppress the Martial God Temple, and you, as the highest Governor of Anselm Province, should manage and balance the relationship with the Martial God Temple well.”

???

!!!

Princess Lucia… actually solved the clergy of the Temple who wanted to suppress the imperial authority?

Er…

It seems there’s nothing surprising about that, with the gods blessing her, even the Cardinal of the Martial God Temple would have to kneel before her…

“I will not fail the Farolan Empire, nor Your Majesty, nor Your Highness’s trust.”

Gabriel kneels on one knee.

The Young Dragon grins, calling her Your Highness, heh… next time he sees her, he’ll have to call her Your Majesty.

She doesn’t plan to intervene in the military and political affairs of Anselm Province, nor does she have the time to take over Anselm Province. She’s planning her moves gradually; she intends to appear in the Imperial City with the poise of a sovereign, and then drive Athena from the Emperor’s seat.

Making Gabriel swear not to reveal her identity as the Farolan Empire Princess is to prevent Lance from following up to Anselm Province and learning from Gabriel that she is the Imperial Princess of the Farolan Empire.

A vague idea in her mind… is that when she becomes the Emperor of Farolan, it might be the time when the identity of Imperial Princess Lucia disappears…

When she becomes the Emperor of Farolan…

When Lance arrives in Farolan…

Her tenure as Emperor… may not last forever…

This feeling is strange; logically speaking, when she becomes the Emperor, it should be the time when the Amethyst Young Dragon Lucia completely disappears…

But for some reason, she always has a vague feeling… that becoming the Emperor… is the day Princess Lucia vanishes…

If it’s incomprehensible, then don’t think about it.

Anyway, she wants all those who know her identity to swear not to reveal to any creature that she is Imperial Princess Lucia.

Otherwise, when Lance finds her and realizes she’s not the real Amethyst Young Dragon, but Imperial Princess Lucia transformed…

Wouldn’t she be beaten to death?

They all must swear!

She doesn’t want to be beaten by Lance!

When Lance usually hits her, it already hurts enough, but if he does so with anger…

Unthinkable…

Absolutely unthinkable…

“Gabriel, within the Empire, are there other provinces where the Temple Clergy are particularly forceful? Trying to use Divine Authority to suppress the Imperial Authority?”

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

“Several provinces surrounding the Imperial City have Temple Clergy who are very strong, suppressing the Imperial Authority brutally, even leading to several conflicts, such as those provinces that worship the Valkyrie, as well as those that worship the War God, the Light God King, and some other Main Gods. The clergy of these temples are all very forceful.”
