Chapter 1202: Vassal

The road to the Dragonspine Mountains was long. After Imric asked his wife to go to the temple first, the Phoenix King walked alone among the rugged mountains.

The dark clouds recede, the roar gradually subsides, the steam surges between the gaps...

Walking alone after a long absence reminded him of many things, and he also had a premonition that many things were about to happen.

It had been half a month since Imric left Lothern when he actually arrived at the temple.

"Your Majesty..." Creon, who was standing at the gate of the temple, had been waiting for a long time, staring at the dragon lord who was slowly walking from the foot of the mountain.

"Yes." Imrik nodded, but did not immediately walk into the temple gate. He raised his hand to invite the guard captain to walk around the temple.

The monarch and his minister, who had known each other for a long time, were walking on the gravel roads around the temple.

Imrik touched the rough rock wall of the temple with his fingertips. This building has condensed the efforts of many people. It is likely that in the future, it will also become an open religious holy place in Caledor, instead of just providing a safe place as it is today. architecture……

"Creon, let's talk about my daughter Gladys and whether she is still adapting here...

There is no mistaking that... I am an arbitrary family leader who puts the continuation of the family first, without taking into account the feelings of the couple. "

"As far as I know, Gladys's mood is very stable... Whether it's the palace psychiatrist or Mr. Béranal's examination, they all think that your daughter..." Creon is still a little uncomfortable with this title. Pause for a moment: "The condition is very healthy, except that the body is relatively weak and there will be some inconvenience in movement in the third trimester of pregnancy... Of course, this is a problem that almost every woman has, and you don't need to worry."

"Really?"

Creon hesitated for a while and asked a very small question: "Miranda revealed it to me... Of course, I had no intention of listening."

"No nonsense Creon, I will judge every situation and make... a reasonable decision."

"Gladys, you are a little worried about your child's future, mainly due to the rumors of other palaces and the current situation of the Caledor family being sparse... She thinks that you may bring your child to the Phoenix King Court to train him from an early age. "

"It's nonsense." Imrik judged this ridiculous idea without hesitation, "Dracnir is already my appointed next Phoenix King, and this child may inherit the throne... But before that, He is the dragon prince of Caledor, and he should receive the most orthodox dragon court-style education."

Imrik glanced at Creon's face. Every court had its share of conspiracies, even Caledor.

Some people may hope to see the Phoenix King change from election to hereditary, seize their own expectations for descendants, and let other kingdoms understand that the Phoenix King will cultivate a third generation successor...

As long as there is resistance, no matter what the reason is, my strong personality will only make this misunderstanding deeper and deeper.

After all, the current Phoenix King is also planning on this matter... but it has not yet reached the moment of actual realization.

"Creon, I hope that the reason you said these words is because of Miranda's revelation... rather than some baseless rumors.

I don't want anyone to interfere in the internal affairs of the Caledor family, do you understand? "

Creon's palms clenched slightly, and his mind was read. After witnessing the honor brought by Imrik, they hoped that this honor would remain in Caledor forever.

Kingly power may be eternal, but the person wearing the crown will always change, and the dragon princes don't want this to happen.

The guard captain lowered his head and took a step back, "We overstepped our bounds."

Imric nodded. This thought was not unusual. He did not blame the guard captain for his thoughts. Willingness and action were always two different things.

"Back to the topic just now, how is Gladys's situation?"

"From what I understand, Gladys's condition is stable, and your concerns seem...overly cautious."

The Flameborn Knight Captain’s perspective of understanding…

Imric nodded slowly, thinking that he fully understood that safety, politics, and influence were the top priorities of the guard captain, and this would not include the feelings of the prince's wife.

Just like Ingersolls always carries a nightingale, nominally to find a companion who can get close to the soul, but in fact it is a pet.

The attitude of many dragon princes towards Gladys is no better than the relationship between Ingersolls and Nightingale...

"Well, continue with your duties."

"yes."

Knowing that His Majesty might not be in a happy mood, Creon took a few steps back and left with a firm back.

Maybe the Flameborn Knight has some small thoughts, but his duties will not change. If there is any problem with this child, they will be regarded as a shame to the family.

Standing alone outside the temple, the Phoenix King pondered for a long time, and finally looked back at the temple.

"Lao Mi, what do you think about our daughter?"

The black dragon's head emerged from the shadow of the temple tower, floating directly above the brat's head.

"To correct your mistake, strictly speaking, she is not my daughter...nor your daughter.

Creon is right, Gladys is in good health, and if there is no external interference, the delivery will go smoothly... But I can feel the uneasiness in her heart. "

"Uneasy?" Imrik was a little confused about this.

"It's hard for you to understand this feeling." Minas Nir's eyes slanted down and he said naturally: "After all, you are not a qualified husband."

"I don't deny this, I owe Adila a lot...but what is the reason for the uneasiness you mentioned."

"Drakneel is a qualified monarch, husband, leader, scholar... He is like an energetic silver moon dragon, able to handle everything properly.

Tell me, Imrik, what job do you hate the most."

"Of course it is the never-ending family disputes, administrative management, personnel transfers..."

"Yes, Etila took over the job you hate. Since you got married, she has smoothly become the mistress of the dragon court... But Drakneel is perfect, so perfect that he will not feel disgusted with any job.

Many people understand that Etila does not belong to Caledor. She is the prince of Terenlock. Because Because of this sense of distance, I respect and love her, but Gladys... this little girl, do you think she will feel a sense of belonging to Caledor? Her only bond in the Dragon Kingdom is her husband.

And her husband's perfection makes her only..." Minasnil paused for a while and said a word that was not too euphemistic: "Become a vassal."

Imric looked thoughtful, raised his head and looked at Lao Mi and said:

"Do you think she is unwilling..."

"It's not that she is unwilling, but she seems to want to do something for her husband... As a mother of a child, Gladys is not just a descendant of the Caledor family." (End of this chapter)
