Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 587 The female princess of Caledor?
In the early morning, on the large wooden bed in the master bedroom of the Dragon Palace, Adira squeezed her hands in confusion and found that there were no strong arms as expected.

Habit made her continue this action unconsciously, and after trying several times to no avail, she finally woke up.

Opening his hazy eyes, he found the bed empty and felt funny.

Adila, when did you become such a little woman? You actually feel a little empty. If people see you like this, you may be laughed at.

The loose silk nightgown hangs on the bumpy body, the slender suspenders outline the delicate collarbone, and the slender neck is as graceful as a swan.

The hazy eyes have a layer of moisture, which makes the emerald green eyes dye the veil, just like the mist rising from the lake, making people fall into it.

She yawned, opened the gauze bed curtain and stepped out of the bed, put on a velvet robe, and began to tidy up the somewhat messy bedding.

Like Imric, the habit of being in the military for many years is somewhat difficult to change. Compared to a princess who has to bring a large number of servants with her when going on an expedition, she is more accustomed to handling internal affairs alone like a soldier.

But compared to her husband who didn't care about these trivial things once he went to war, Adila, as a woman, was undoubtedly much more careful.

She neatly placed the bedding, returned the books on the bedside table to their original places, and put the slippers and nightgown in the laundry basket. The maid would come to clean the room later.

Looking at the neat and orderly bookcases, Adira nodded with satisfaction. When she first moved to the Dragon Palace, she felt a little uncomfortable, largely because of this bookcase.

Imric usually did not read in his bedroom, and a large amount of required materials were kept in the study room, which resulted in a very strange list of books on this bookcase.

Various poetry, drama, music collections, and many out-of-print manuscripts can be found.

If other princes and princesses had such hobbies, Adila would think it was normal, but thinking about her husband's appearance, it seemed that he had nothing to do with these beautiful things.

After asking later, I found out that Imrik rarely read in the bedroom and used it entirely as a place to sleep.

These books were kept by the maids, some were her mother's relics, and some were gifts sent by various countries during customary exchanges.

Yes, the poetry book she was holding just now was the handwritten book of Tyron Locke, a famous poet from 4000 years ago, that she found a few days ago.

Even though it is difficult to find it in Tyran Loch's court, it can still be found in Caledor.

The most important thing is that this kind of precious classics can be found everywhere. If Adira is willing, she can find several carriages worth of them in the magic sealed warehouse.

"I really should look for treasures in the basement when I have time. I really don't know what other rare things there are in the palace."

Randomly setting a small goal for her life in the near future, Adila finished preparing her clothes with the help of the maid.

At first, she was still resistant to strange women touching her, but after learning that Miranda had served the Dragon Prince for more than 200 years, she slowly let go of her guard.

The maid who was combing Madam's long hair said with a smile, "Yesterday, His Highness was mumbling about wanting to sleep with you again. It took us a long time to coax him away from making a fuss."

"He is already over two years old. After a while, he will be sent to the Dragon's Back Mountains to live alone for a long time. He must understand what independence is." Adila said firmly, but there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes. Know the traditions of the Dragon Tamer family.

When the heir was 15 years old, with only an iron sword and clothes, he was sent to the Dragon's Back Mountains to live alone for eight years, during which he was not allowed to receive any support.

Even if he died, he would die in his hometown.

Cruel and seemingly ruthless, they are obviously a family with an extremely small number of people, but they also set all kinds of hardships for the heirs.

"The Dragon's Back Mountain Range is not a dangerous place. As long as Your Highness is familiar with the terrain, nothing will happen. His Highness also came here like this back then." Miranda comforted her a little, but there was also some worry in her eyes.

If outsiders enter the Dragon's Back Mountains, the biggest danger will definitely be the giant dragon, but His Highness can ignore this danger, but it is still not a good place.

As a habitat for giant dragons, there is a lack of large prey for prey. The towering rocks are like a chasm that is difficult to climb. The thick smoke rising from the valley will always confuse your vision. If you are not careful, you will fall into the crack and never be able to get out. .

Strong winds, thunder, and heavy rain are all frequent occurrences in the mountains, and finding the food needed for survival is also a problem.

Building a shelter, crouching in a corner and waiting for danger to disappear, quietly waiting for prey... these will all become skills that a warrior relies on to survive.

"I hope so. When he grows up a little, let Mishan teach him martial arts."

"Well, but before that, you should spend more time with him if you have time. You may not have the chance to witness the growth of His Highness in the future."

Glancing at Miranda who was hesitant to speak, Adila was confused. After all the hard work in the Dragon's Back Mountains, she still had to work hard. Princes from other countries were still going to school at this age.

"Why, Drachnir already has a dragon partner, so it doesn't seem like he will have to spend too long on this."

Miranda, who knew she was leaking, had no choice but to explain, "Your Highness still needs to learn how to sing dragon songs and get used to the dragon horn. Although I don't know the specific situation, it took a long time for His Highness to let the prince let go of this matter." .”

Adila thought for a while. The Sorrowful Dragon Song and the Dragon Horn are the two core things of the dragon tamer family. For a teenage child to be exposed to them so early, there is only one possibility.

I am worried that after I die, the important inheritance related to the kingdom will be forgotten.

"Miranda, tell me, besides Imrik, is there anyone who can sing dragon songs and use dragon horns?"

"As far as I know, the dragon songs sung by the dragon princes are different from those of His Highness. I don't know of anyone who can use the dragon horn except for the previous princes and heirs."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Adila nodded. She needed to prepare for her child's future. The previous environment led to one thing. She subconsciously believed that many people coveted the position of the ruler of the kingdom.

After finishing dressing up, the lady walked around the palace garden as usual. The sound of clanging weapons coming from a distance attracted her attention.Subconsciously clenching his hands, he found that his palms, which were originally covered with tiny calluses, were much softer than before, and even his slightly thick knuckles seemed to have become slender.

Carefully caressing a few bouquets of flowers that had just bloomed, Adira, who could not accept that it had become a business processing station, returned to the office and found that civil servants had been waiting for a long time.

"lady."

"lady."

Instructing everyone who stood up to salute to continue, Adila walked to the main seat and sat down. Unless there were urgent matters, she was used to dealing with official duties in the morning, so that she could have time to walk with her children in the afternoon.

The leader, Alagir, picked up a report sheet. In fact, the things dealt with here were routine people's livelihood events.

The really key things, such as industrial regional planning, national diplomatic relations, etc., are still decided by the prince, and then the wife will coordinate and implement them.

The civil servant who had been promoted to Chief Minister cleared his throat, "Chairman Randy hopes to build a memorial hall in Kalede to commemorate the warriors who died in the Battle of Fennoir Plains.

He also established a foundation to carry out fundraising activities in the country to specifically subsidize the families of sacrificed or disabled soldiers to improve their living standards. He was willing to bear the funds for the construction of the memorial hall and host the fundraising activities. "

Adila thought about it for a while. First of all, she had to give face to the veteran. He had given countless supports to her husband. The construction of this kind of memorial was also a good thing for the palace, so there was no reason to refuse.

The foundation can respond in the name of the Dragon Tamer family, indicating that the prince is also a part of Caledor, rather than the ruler, who regards soldiers as numbers and not only subsidizes them through public channels, but also seeks more help from the private sector. .

Even if there is a problem with this foundation, the main responsibility will not be borne by the husband.

"The palace will bear the funds for the memorial hall. If Lord Randy is willing, you can invest this part of the funds in the foundation. The Dragon Tamer family will also respond to this fund-raising event and provide help to these soldiers in the name of Drachnir."

"I will discuss this matter with Mr. Randy." Aragir said without any hesitation, as if he had already expected Adira's answer. He knew that the lady considered it much more nuanced than the prince.

If Imrik were here, he would definitely respond to the donation in the name of the palace, not the family. There are still some subtle differences between the two.

He turned to a page, "The Comprehensive College wants to adjust the way education is reformed, and Dean Palitzer feels that adding another ten-year period of study is somewhat redundant."

"Rejected, the Comprehensive Academy is not a preparatory non-commissioned officer academy. I don't want students who want to further their studies to fill in application letters for exchanges in Lothern or Savrien, and to expand the professional scope of the Comprehensive Academy.

To date, we have only a few majors to choose from in the oceans and rely heavily on academic sharing from other kingdoms. This is a hidden danger and does not fit with our current development strategy. "

Adila turned her attention to the Minister of Education. She remembered that this gray-haired old man came from the same school as the dean. If nothing else, the application may have been authorized by him.

The Secretary of Education could only hang his head and said, "Understood. I will discuss with Dean Palitzer the increase in the number of majors and student enrollment."

Not satisfied with the perfunctory attitude of the Minister of Education, Adila emphasized,

"Not only the majors related to the ocean that I proposed, but also other aspects. Caledor is already good at smelting. The biggest role of the Comprehensive Academy is to make up for the shortcomings of the kingdom, rather than continue to follow the footsteps of the Vaal Church. The giant The same is true for Dragonology. I have attended it a few times, and except for a few dragon mages who have novel ideas, most of the teachers just read from the textbooks and teach."

"Except for the heirs of nobles, most students have no real need for dragon studies, but they still occupy a lot of courses and educational resources, giving professional classes to professionals. This is what a high-end institution should be like. "

The Minister of Education was a little embarrassed. Adila said it was mild. In fact, Dragonology has become a compulsory course. It not only satisfies students' curiosity, but also allows many people to obtain teacher titles.

But in fact, this profession has long since declined. Today is no longer an era of flying dragons. Except for a few people who can come into contact with the dragons, it has no effect on most people.

"We will appropriately reduce some dragon learning courses..."

Adila said categorically, "Dragonology will be changed to a general course. Except for the compulsory course for the heirs of nobles, other students will be changed to audit classes. Tell those who are still studying the Dragonology major that there will be no results within five years." , If you don’t want to be transferred to the school where you first met, you should switch to a new major as soon as possible.”

"I don't want the large amount of finance provided by the palace to become meaningless. I have repeated thesis reports countless times. They have not even touched the claws of the dragon. How can they become a highly respected teacher just by relying on them?" Speculations on the dragon’s psychological thinking model?
If so, your prince is more qualified than anyone else to become an authority. If you are dissatisfied with this decision, I will ask the Magic Academy to assist in investigating the professional title papers of the relevant personnel. If there is plagiarism and duplication, the relevant treatment will be cancelled. "

The ministers looked at each other. This is really cruel. The prince doesn't care much about the academy. Even if he knew the shortcomings of dragon studies, he probably wouldn't care. But the madam obviously doesn't want students to spend their time on such useless courses. .

The Minister of Education pinched his nose and accepted it, which may make the college uneasy.

Adila motioned to the minister in charge to continue. These old guys had done a lot of things by relying on Imrik's low sensitivity to some things.

Dragonology?Just learn, how can Caledonians not understand dragons, how much time can they spend.That's roughly the attitude.

Alagir went on to talk about several applications and reports, covering areas ranging from large to small, but fortunately there was no farce-like fight between the Dragon Princes.

Adila dealt with each matter in an orderly manner, and everyone could see that she had handled these matters extremely well. I really didn't know whether the prince had found a wife or a female prince for Caledo.

After dealing with domestic matters, the Foreign Secretary began to speak. He was the most nurturing person present, and he had many benefits when he had fewer things to do.

But at this time, he was also in trouble.

"The Temple of Lilith hopes to settle in Caledor together with the Temple of Elsa. The reason is that as the daughter of the Mother Goddess, the Church of the Moon Maiden has the obligation to protect the dreams of the elves in Caledor."

This caused the conference room to truly fall into silence. Everyone knew the prince's attitude. In a real sense, he was extremely disgusted with Lilith. If it weren't for the royal dignity, he might even spit when passing by the demolished altar.

What's even more troublesome is that according to some gossip, the lady used to be a devout believer in Lilith.
