Night falls.

The smoky city of Alexandria has faded away from the noise and madness of the day, and under the night sky, there is an eerie and ghostly atmosphere, like thousands of unjust souls complaining about the unwillingness and hatred of unprovoked death, which makes people's hairs stand on end.

A certain piece of the sky in the west of the city was still ruled by golden light, making it impossible for darkness to touch, but this golden space was bright and dark, and uncertain.

The last empress of the fairy dragon clan, Fudirokaya, her strategy worked, and the wheel battle of the three groups of puppet golden dragons dragged the empress of the golden dragon clan with great power little by little. Grace has lost her dominion over the sky, and as the fight gets lower and lower, she is almost overpowered. The final defeat of the Golden Dragons is a foregone conclusion—if no one else comes to the rescue before then.

In the distance, on a hill, Grace's two closest family members were watching the battle that had almost ended in stone.

With one to eighteen, no matter how strong Grace's own strength is, and how much the authority of the "Dragon King" has helped her, no matter how much the strength of the eighteen-headed golden dragon of the Elder Sect has been discounted, it cannot change the fact that the strength of the two sides is very different;

"I can continue to sit on the sidelines. ”

Thinking of this, Shatarikis made up his mind that even if he was punished harshly by Isabel when he returned, he would have to intervene.

But Shatarikis's every move was all in Isabel's eyes, and even if he hadn't started to take action yet, after making a decision in his heart, the micro-movements of his body that followed made Isabel predict his intentions in great detail.

"Don't act rashly! Have you forgotten the consequences of the last time you acted alone?"

What Isabel said, if it was as deep as a nail in Shatariches' heart.

He knew what Isabel meant by "last time", it was 2,000 years ago, Shataricius sabotaged the "True Dragon Ritual" that was going on by Grace's contract knight Marn, causing an unforeseen disaster, and it took his compatriots a lot of effort and time to deal with the aftermath. Although Empress Isabel did not punish him in any way afterwards, Shatarikis knew that being ignored and ostracized by his compatriots for more than 500 years was already a very severe punishment for him. It wasn't until Shatarikis worked hard and practiced hard to become the "First Brave Man of the Golden Dragon Clan" that he was accepted by his fellow clansmen.

But, even so, Shatarikis definitely doesn't think that he did anything wrong back then!

"Your Highness Isabel, that's right, when I did that thing, I was indeed confused by the magic of the fairy dragon, but if I could rewind time to that time and do it all over again, even if there was no spiritual magic of the fairy dragon, I would definitely destroy that 'True Dragon Ritual'!" Shatarikis lost the calmness and calmness that the "First Warrior of the Golden Dragon Clan" should have, and his emotions became more and more excited, "That is called' Marne's human, he has only used and deceived Grace from beginning to end, this scumbag is not qualified to be a contract knight of our Golden Dragon Clan, let alone one of us!"

"It doesn't matter if you're using me or cheating on me, it doesn't matter!" Grace hugged Marn from behind, "Whichever human opposite sex you like to be a lifelong spouse is your freedom." But please don't leave me, at least not for the rest of your life. ”

"Grace......" Marn whispered her name.

The young king, who was known for his iron hand, spoke in a gentle voice at this time, but his words were filled with helpless remorse.

"Why? Why do I feel so much pain in my heart? And it feels like it's twisted together. What kind of magic is this? Back then, when you were Auguston, you told me that 'love' is a very wonderful thing, and sometimes it makes people's hearts ache like a knife, but it makes people want to stop. Tell me, Marn, is this what 'love' is called?" Grace's tears began to drip down.

No matter how ruthless the tough guy is, he can't beat the tender tears around his fingers. Marn gripped Grace's hand tightly, and for the first time, his heart, which was originally "God blocks and kills gods, and demons block and destroys demons", began to soften......

At this time, it was already 4 years after the siege of the royal capital. In the earth-shattering "Great Patriotic War" four years ago, the new king Marn, who was appointed in danger, personally led 5,000 of the most loyal and heroic knights in the decisive Battle of the Selea Forest to launch an unprecedented decisive battle with 200,000 Xiumiro Imperial troops, but the result made everyone fall through the glasses. The Agulema Kingdom Army, which was absolutely inferior in strength and equipment, actually annihilated the Imperial Army, which was 8 times their own number, and beheaded the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, a certain marshal who was famous in the Shumiro Empire, and captured an Imperial Prince who was in charge of supervising the army.

In the battle, the Thumiro Empire's invasion of the Agulema Kingdom completely collapsed, and the demoralized remnants of the defeated army had no intention of fighting, and were driven out of the Agulema territory they had invaded all the way by the imposing royal army.

And because the Thumiro Empire's expedition was too costly, so that it shook the rule of many of the territories conquered by military means, rebellions in large and small places broke out frequently, and the imperial army was exhausted for several years in order to quell the rebellion, which made the Kingdom of Agulaima, which had just been baptized by war, get a little respite from the external environment. King Marne began to carry out reforms in a big way, suppressing the decaying old clans, discovering talented people, cultivating water conservancy and farmland, and vigorously developing trade ...... After a series of reforms, Agulema grew in economic power, quickly recovering from the wounds of the war and becoming more politically enlightened than before the war. After being rich and easy to do, after the economy went up, Agulema's military strength also soared at a rapid speed, and gradually became a small tyrant in the northern part of the Brilliant Continent.

Everyone could feel that the young King of Marne was not confined to a small kingdom on the border peninsula, his ambitions had a broader vision, so he needed a bigger platform to stretch out. At this moment, a piece of cake fell from the sky.

The battle for succession not only occurred in the Agulema Kingdom before the war, but its opponent, the Shumiro Empire, also staged a big drama of seizing the heir, and it was more "exciting" than Agulaima. It is precisely because the struggle for the heir is too fierce, coupled with the complete failure of the military invasion of Agulema, several of the most fierce princes have been out, thus cheapening a princess who is ranked lower in the order of succession.

Princess Anne Fair, the representative of the empire who participated in the peace talks 2 years ago. In the peace negotiations with the kingdom of Agulima, she won the most favorable terms for the empire, and in the final peace agreement, Princess Anne Fil and King Marne each left their names. According to the terms of the peace treaty, the victorious kingdom of Agulema reduced the war indemnity of the defeated state of the Shumiro Empire by half, and all the 10,000 captured officers and soldiers of the foreign empire were released back to China, including the prince who was the emperor's younger brother, and the Agulayma Kingdom gave up its financial support for the rebel forces within the Rokar Empire; in exchange, the Shumiro Empire promised that the army would never set foot in the territory of the Agulema Kingdom for 20 years, and opened several ports for Agulayma's merchant ships to dock unconditionally. Such a peace treaty can be said to save the face of the empire to the greatest extent, and also added a lot of points to Princess Anne Feier's personal prestige.

What's more, on the night of the signing of the peace treaty, Anne Fair and Marne danced hand in hand during a grand banquet held by both parties. The perfect tacit understanding and amazing dance steps brought the most intense applause and cheers to the audience, in exchange for Princess Anne Fair's secret promise.

Over the next two years, Princess Anne Fair and King Marne exchanged letters frequently, and Princess Anne Fair's letters repeatedly expressed her desire to marry Marne. Princess Anne Fil has won the first line of succession to the imperial throne, she is a popular candidate to inherit the throne in the future, if the two countries marry, Anne Fil becomes the empress, and Marn is also the imperial husband of the Shumiro Empire. In this way, Anne Fil can use the power of Mar and the kingdom of Agulema to fight against the old nobility in her country, and Marn can also use the power of the empire to achieve her ambition of domination - a woman's intuition is very sensitive, and from the first sight of Marn, Anne Fil knew that he had such ambitions.

Therefore, Princess Anne Faire thought that Marne would immediately agree to this family affair, but she did not expect that for more than 2 years, Marn's reply has been perfunctory to her, and she has not directly given a positive response. This made Princess Anne Fil more and more impatient. Although she did have a love for Marn in her heart, as the princess of the strongest empire in Olopa and the heir to the first order of the throne, she lowered her dignity to chase a man, and the other party has always had that ambiguous attitude, no matter how decent a woman Anne Feier is, she can't tolerate such humiliation.

So in a recent letter, Princess Anne Faire asked Marne to give a clear reply to the matter of her in-laws in an "ultimatum" tone, and her attitude was more tough than ever.

Therefore, when Marne borrowed wine to drown his sorrows at night, the golden dragon Grace comforted and persuaded him.

"Agulaima is only a small country, and it can't support my ideal of unifying the three continents of Olopa, but the huge Shumiro Empire can. So I know what to say......" Marn announced his decision in Grace's sad and disappointed eyes, "I'll reply to Princess Anne Faire tomorrow: about this family affair - I refuse!"

"What?" Grace looked up to make sure she had heard correctly, and looked into Marn's eyes earnestly, "Why are you ......?"

But she could not go any further, for Marn's hand gently covered her mouth.

"I know that marrying Anne Fil is the fastest shortcut to my hegemony, but if it brings Grace to tears, I'd rather take a detour that is harder and longer. ”

"Marn, I'm ......"

Grace threw herself on Marn's shoulder, unleashing a woman's sensuality.

"But have you ever wondered what Grace's true intentions are?" asked Isabel.

Hearing this, Shataricius froze on the spot, he had thought about the question, but he was afraid that he would finally get an answer that he did not accept, so he did not dare to think about it again, but if he did not think about it, it did not mean that the facts did not exist.

"Don't say it! Impossible! How could Grace take the initiative to make such a decision? I don't believe it, it's absolutely impossible! It must have been Marn's deception and instigation!"

"Shatarikis, you used to be Marn's teacher, but you didn't want to get to know your students, did you always think that Marn's desire to defeat you was really just out of revenge for your death in his childhood?

"I ......"

In front of the wise Isabel, all the quibbles were not pale and powerless, and Shataricis unloaded all his arms, which made him feel a sense of relief.

An irrefutable fact lies ahead: if the 'True Dragon Ritual' was completely deceived and used by Marn, how could it get the consent of Grace's mother, Isabelle, and the other elders of the clan?

"It's not completely nowhere either. As if thinking of something, Grace suddenly left Marn's shoulder and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Actually, there is another way. ”

"Another way?" said Marn, looking curiously at his dragon partner.

"That's right. Grace nodded affirmatively, "But are you willing to give up being human?"
