Evil Dragon: The baby dragon I picked up always wants to be the empress.

Chapter 326

She has forgotten the curse that turned Her Highness Lucia into a baby dragon, so how can she lift it?
No, to be precise, the curse disappeared from her mind on its own. Why did she encounter this curse that was not allowed to exist and only existed in legends?
If she had known earlier that the dragon transformation curse was a [curse that is not allowed to exist], she would rather have let Princess Lucia be captured by Princess Athena at that time.

After being captured by Princess Athena, Princess Lucia was at most teased and mocked by Princess Athena for a while. She was cursed by her to turn into a dragon, and then captured by the evil dragon. She couldn't even imagine what Princess Lucia had experienced in the past year or so.

I was afraid that Her Highness Lucia would really be defiled by the evil dragon.

It is no secret in the human world that evil dragons like princesses from the human world.

If Her Highness Lucia is really defiled by the evil dragon, then even if Her Highness Lucia returns safely to the imperial capital, she will become the subject of discussion among the imperial nobles and ministers, and they will never regard Her Highness Lucia as the heir to the throne of the empire.

Thinking of the heir apparent, Eva's eyes fell on Athena who was sitting on the main seat. Even if Princess Lucia came back, she would not be able to shake Princess Athena's status as the heir apparent.

By the end of the year, His Highness will officially become the Emperor of the Farolland Empire.

According to her observation, this princess did not seem to care much about the throne. When she knew that she was about to become the emperor of the Farolan Empire, her reaction was very calm.

When she came back that night, she said in the palace that without a loser sister competing with her for the throne, the emperor felt a little bit bored.
Sure enough, from the beginning, Her Highness Athena was just teasing Her Highness Lucia. She never considered Her Highness Lucia as an opponent.
Or maybe she had considered Lucia as her rival, but when she found out that Lucia had no intelligence, she changed her strategy.
She still remembers the moment when the soldiers following Her Highness Lucia turned against her.
Eva shook her head suddenly.

It doesn’t matter whether Her Highness Lucia can become the emperor. What matters is whether Her Highness Lucia can return safely.

When he came back, he was in the form of a baby dragon?
Or human form?
If it was in the form of a baby dragon, the moment Her Highness Lucia appeared in the imperial capital, she would probably be surrounded by adventurers, warriors, knights, or imperial nobles and ministers.

As for the human form.
Unless the curse is lifted, it will be impossible for Lady Lucia to turn back into a human.

You can find the Temple of Light!
If Princess Lucia is still a baby dragon when she comes back, then take Princess Lucia to the Temple of Light. She cannot lift the curse, but the clergy and the Pope of the Temple of Light should be able to lift the curse of turning into a dragon.

Even if she was arrested by the Temple of Light!

"Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether the loser sister can turn into a human or not. It would be the best if she can. If she can't turn back into a human, I don't mind having a baby dragon sister. With my status, I can afford to support a loser sister who turns into a baby dragon.

I can also protect her. The identity of the Emperor of the Farolan Empire is enough to deter those nobles, warriors, and knights who want to take advantage of my loser sister.

Therefore, you don't need to blame yourself at all. After all, it was me, your royal sister, who was the instigator. If I hadn't forced her, you wouldn't have used the curse to turn the loser royal sister into a baby dragon.

When you feel guilty, you put the blame on me."

Eva is a talented person. In addition to looking for the dragon, she also helped her do a lot of things during this period.

Athena stood up and walked to Eva's side, patting her shoulders a few times. "I have a hunch that my loser sister will be back soon. Even if we don't look for her carefully, she will come back when the time comes."

???

Eva looked at Athena in confusion. She didn't understand why Princess Athena said that. Did she ask a fortune teller for divination?

The empire's fortune tellers and prognosticators are completely useless.

"Why does Your Highness have this intuition?"

"It's simple, because I'm about to become the emperor of this empire. My loser sister will not sit idly by and watch me become the emperor of the empire. She will definitely show up on the day I become the emperor, or someday after I become the emperor.

I firmly believe this.

In addition, Dragon Island has appeared, and prehistoric evil dragons have appeared one after another. The name of the black dragon who kidnapped my sister will sooner or later spread in the human world. Don't forget that guy also beat up the saint of the Temple of Wisdom.
Of course, saying this doesn't mean that I'm going to give up on the search for the loser royal sister. Before, I asked you to pay attention to whether there are prehistoric dragons appearing in the empire, not because I want to defeat the dragons, but because I want to cooperate with the prehistoric dragons.

If we can reach a cooperation with the prehistoric evil dragon and tell it the news about the black dragon, it will be beneficial to our search for the black dragon.

Not only that, we can also come into contact with the Dragon Island Dragon. If a Dragon Island Dragon descends on the Farollan Empire, I will immediately invite someone to invite the Dragon Island Dragon to visit the palace.

I have already given instructions for these two things, so there is no need for you to put so much pressure on yourself."

Eva thought about it and felt that Her Highness Athena's idea was a good one.

Looking at Athena's face, Eva thought about what Athena had done over the past year.

This year, Her Highness Athena took over more than half of the army in the imperial capital and negotiated with the major priests and bishops in the imperial capital many times.

His Highness tried every means to weaken the influence of theocracy on imperial power, and in more than a year, he made considerable progress.

But this also made the major temples somewhat dissatisfied with Her Highness Athena.

In recent months, bishops from various major temples have come to the palace from time to time, and every time they come, they will mention Her Highness Lucia.

Before, she thought that the temple had discovered that Princess Lucia had turned into a baby dragon. As the bishop came more and more often, she gradually understood.

The temple bishop did not notice that Her Highness Lucia had turned into a baby dragon.

The reason why those bishops mentioned Her Highness Lucia was because they wanted to support Her Highness Lucia.

They want Her Highness Lucia to compete with Her Highness Athena.

I'm late.

If they had approached Her Highness Lucia seven or eight months earlier and secretly supported Her Highness Lucia, they might have had a chance to use Her Highness Lucia to contain Her Highness Athena.

It's too late now.

Athena controls more than half of the empire's military forces, and it is impossible for the temple to have a head-on conflict with Her Highness Athena.

"Your Highness, even so, I still want to go to the Dragon Territory. There, I have a greater chance of encountering a prehistoric dragon."

“Give up. Don’t think that the prehistoric dragon is too honest. Even if you brought gold, silver and jewelry to the Dragon Territory and encountered the prehistoric dragon, and negotiated terms with the prehistoric dragon, and even gave the gold, silver and jewelry to the prehistoric dragon in advance.

The dragon that receives the gold, silver and jewels may not help you find the black dragon. If you refuse to trade with the prehistoric dragon, the prehistoric dragon may rob you of everything.

If an evil dragon is discovered within the territory of our empire, it will be a different story. If the evil dragon that has signed a contract with us dares to violate the terms of the contract, we can either send troops to attack him or restrain him through the contract.

Don’t even think about cross-domain matters. It’s all because the Farollan Empire is still too weak and its military power cannot radiate to the other three domains.

Not to mention the other three regions, the military power of our Farol Empire can barely radiate to a few kingdoms surrounding the empire.

If the Farolan Empire can dominate Morning Star, then there may be a chance to radiate its military power to the other three regions. "Eva's mouth twitched slightly. Her Highness Athena really dared to think so.

"Your Highness, do you think we can issue bounty missions to the guilds in the other three regions through the temple?"

“This is a good idea, but the strength of the temples in the empire is not exaggerated to this extent. If they want to issue bounty missions to the other three regions through their hands, they must also send the bounty missions to the Holy Mountain and issue the bounty missions to the other three regions through the clergy of the Holy Mountain.

However, if I really did this, it would be equivalent to owing favors to the major temples in the empire, and it would be difficult to continue to carry out my next plan.

It's a good idea, but I'm not going to let anyone carry it out. I will never allow theocracy to suppress imperial power within the Falollan Empire!"

Eva stopped talking. This involved a struggle between theocracy and imperial power. Even if she had many ideas, she couldn't say them at this time.

When Athena becomes the emperor of the Farol Empire, this empire, which is somewhat gentle and even a little weak towards the outside world, will probably become very strong.

"I understand, Your Highness. In the next period of time, I will have more contact with the Bishop of the Temple of Wisdom."

"Don't waste too much time on this. Follow up on the matter of the Black Dragon. I will be responsible for it. I will give you a new task. I plan to let you train an army. This army will be loyal to only one person, and that is my loser royal sister.

I know you don't have much talent in military affairs. Don't worry, I will let Melissa assist you. The number of troops is tentatively set at 10,000.

When the military pay is distributed, it will be distributed in the name of my loser sister. I have already thought of a name for this army for my loser sister, it is called [Dragon Guard]. "

"???"

Eva was dumbfounded. What did Her Highness Athena mean by this?
She is about to become the emperor, why should she train an army for Her Highness Lucia?
Isn't she afraid that when Her Highness Lucia comes back, she will use the army she trained to drive her off the throne?

"No, Your Highness, I don't quite understand why you want to do this. Is this a new script for Lucia?"

Athena smiled at Eva, returned to her previous seat, sat down, picked up the book on the desk, and said casually: “There are soldiers, and when she comes back, the ministers and nobles in the imperial capital will not dare to look at her with strange eyes.

I can bully this loser sister at will, but others cannot. Another thing is, if I die young after becoming the emperor, my loser sister will not be without a loyal guard when she takes over the throne. "

There was surprise in Eva's eyes.

die young?!

Her Highness Athena is very healthy, how could she die young?
etc.
Yes. Temple?

Could it be that Princess Athena is worried that she will die inexplicably at the hands of the temple one day?
This. This. Is impossible?

How dare the temple murder the emperor of an empire?

dare!
The temple in the capital of the Farolan Empire. Maybe it's really daring!

After all, this prince suppressed the temples in the imperial capital and even within the empire too harshly.

In His Highness' plan, knights can be stationed in all the major temples in the imperial capital, but the number of knights in each temple cannot exceed one hundred.

The number of knights stationed in temples in other areas of the empire shall not exceed thirty!
The safety of the temple is left to the imperial army to maintain.

In addition to this, the major temples are not allowed to interfere in the political affairs of various regions of the empire.

If the temple mobilizes more than 100 knights, it needs to notify the imperial officials in advance.
If Her Highness Athena's idea could really be realized, then the temples within the Farolan Empire would only have one function left.

A place for believers to comfort their souls.

There is also the task of exorcising demons and defeating alien species.

Forcing the major temples to this point, if some of the clergy of the temples within the empire become desperate, they might really dare to have some bad thoughts about Athena.

“Is it necessary to go to this extent?”

"If you don't advance, you will retreat. If I don't weaken the influence of the temples on the empire, the temples within the empire will subconsciously suppress the imperial power, or even dominate it.

In certain areas of the empire, temple clergy can command imperial officials, and this has happened more than once or twice, and they can even mobilize local troops.
In this situation, do you think I can continue to turn a blind eye?"

"Then your highness can take your time."

"My speed is not fast, and what I did did not infringe on the rights of the major temples. I just asked the major temples to guard their bottom line and exercise their own rights within the empire, instead of wantonly devouring the empire's rights."

"If your Highness's methods were a little gentler, the major temples might gradually accept it."

"If the bishops of the major temples didn't frequently want to meet with my loser sister, I might have done this. But in order to continue to maintain the rights and interests of the temple, they actually want to support the loser sister to compete with me.

They want to use my loser sister as a puppet. Not all clergy are worthy of the clothes they wear.

I am not afraid of the bishops in the temples within the empire. What I am afraid of is the holy mountains behind the major temples. I do this just in case.

If I really die young and my loser sister becomes the emperor of this empire, you can ask her to return all the rights and interests that I have taken back from the temple to the major temples.

She does not have the strategy and courage to deal with the major temples, and her martial arts skills are not strong enough. If she could be strong enough to suppress the major temples of the empire by herself, the Farolan Empire would be even more powerful in her hands.

No matter what, make third-hand preparations first.

I am gone, but she has soldiers when she becomes emperor.

As long as I am alive, she has troops and fiefdoms, and no nobles or ministers dare to underestimate or ignore her.

Well, if I am still alive when she comes back, I will give her an [Emperor] experience card.

Time: seven days.

Seven days later, I will [take back] my own throne. It’s a win no matter how you think about it.”

"."

Why did she feel that Her Highness Athena still wanted to play with Her Highness Lucia?
