Is It Funny That The Dragon Slayer Failed And Became The Dragon Princess?

94. Orange

Lucius watched Xia Yi intently.

As the current representative of the Royal Dragon Family, her reaction would determine their stance on the matter.

Now that she knew these emerging nobles were plotting something sinister, what decision would Xia Yi make?

“Since there are fools who dare to challenge the authority of the Royal Dragon Family… I have no qualms about eradicating these rebels. If we allow them to continue their reckless actions, won’t they eventually stage a rebellion? We must extinguish the sparks of rebellion in advance and let the majesty of the Royal Silver Dragon Family descend upon Corolle!”

Xia Yi declared her intentions.

“Xia Lulu simply didn’t want to bother with these people, yet they actually had the audacity to believe they could oppose the royal family? The era of the hero Frey has long passed. It’s time we make them realize this. This is the kingdom of the Silver Dragon Queen.”

“Excellent!!” Lucius applauded continuously, cheering loudly. “Your Highness, your decision is most wise. Our Cavendish family will fully support you in suppressing these arrogant nobles!”

“Princess, no matter what you choose to do, I will always stand by your side. It is my duty as your personal maid.”

Sera also made her stance clear.

However, she had some reservations about Lucius’s attitude.

“Father, are you serious?”

“Of course, do you think I’m joking?” Lucius retorted.

“It’s surprising that someone as unreasonable as you, Father, would soberly choose to support Her Highness.”

Sera didn’t hold back at all when it came to her own father.

“Sera, you really misunderstand me. I’ve always been clear-headed!”

“Clear-headed? You mean for how all these years, as the head of the Cavendish family, you did nothing about the rise of the emerging nobles, indulging in luxury, addicted to wine and women, and even went to their territory to support their businesses?” Sera fired off a series of scathing questions.

If it were a noble with even a shred of self-respect, they might have been embarrassed.

After all, for years, Lucius had been a complete mess.

But not only was he unashamed, he even seemed quite justified.

“No, no, no, Sera, you don’t understand. There’s a saying that goes, ‘If you want to destroy your enemy, you must first let them go mad.’ I’m speeding up the madness of the emerging nobility, letting them expose their ambitions as soon as possible, so that Her Majesty the Queen can recognize that these parasites must be eradicated.”

“So that’s your excuse for squandering the family’s wealth?”

“I’m merely acting. I deliberately appear to have no ambition… so that the emerging nobles would let their guard down against our Cavendish family. The trend of the times cannot be swayed by the will of a single family… If we show too much strength and resist the emerging nobles to the end, then they will surely see our Cavendish family as a thorn in their side. We might have been eliminated long ago, and now we wouldn’t be able to cooperate with the royal family in the purge.”

Lucius seemed quite proud, puffing out his robust chest.

“Daughter, your father has endured humiliation and tasted bitterness for so long, and finally, we have waited for the Princess to arrive. All the patience of our Cavendish family has not been in vain.”

Sera held her forehead, obviously not wanting to comment further. She was afraid she really couldn’t resist the urge to kill her own father.

Xia Yi was shocked.

What a hard mouth!

Lucius’s mouth was harder than a magic crystal mine.

“Princess, do you have any plans?” Lucius asked.

“I’m considering something. What if I go to the capital and ask Xia Lulu to send troops? What will happen?” Xia Yi asked directly.

“The emerging nobles will hear the news and flee with their assets. They have thought about their retreat and have a way out,” Lucius replied truthfully. “Of course, giving up their businesses here is unacceptable to them… so they may also resort to even more desperate measures. After all, the military power of the southern border is held by the New Chamber of Commerce here, and the armed forces have long been infiltrated by their people.”

“I see. It seems that we need to think of some other methods. Even a cornered rabbit will bite…”

Xia Yi recalled the battle between Sera and the Cangqing Gang at Ascension Casino. A plan gradually formed in her mind.

…

Elvin Family Residence

“Father!”

Oba looked at his father, Arland Elvin.

The head of the Elvin family was enjoying the embrace of beauties, eating grapes.

These were no ordinary grapes. They were imported from abroad, with plump and juicy flesh, and an exquisite taste. In the Dragon Kingdom, they were tribute-level fruits that only the royal family could enjoy.

But now, times had changed. Under the leadership of the New Chamber of Commerce, the Elvin family, one of the emerging noble families in Corolle, could also enjoy the treatment befitting an emperor.

“What is the matter, my child?” Arland looked at his son.

Oba was seething with anger. “Father, it’s about Ascension Casino. The Cavendish family caused trouble in our casino, resulting in a huge loss of money and face for us.”

“Son, are you joking? The Cavendish family is already a relic of the past. Lucius has long since given up on himself. How dare he oppose our New Chamber of Commerce?”

“Father, I’m serious. I’m not lying to you.”

Oba’s teeth were almost crushed from the force of his clenched jaw.

“By now, everyone in the city should know about it. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to ask around on the streets!”

Arland realized that something was amiss and whispered a few words to the beauty beside him, dismissing her.

Then, only the father and son remained in the room.

Once they were alone, Oba explained in detail to his father what had transpired at Ascension Casino.

After listening, Arland sneered and picked up an orange, slowly peeling it.

“The Cavendish family really doesn’t know what’s good for them, daring to provoke us like this. I was originally considering letting them cooperate with our New Chamber of Commerce, but since they’ve chosen this path, there is no need to keep them around. Today’s account must be settled.”

“Father, the heir of the Cavendish family has returned. Will it have a significant impact? Her strength seems to be quite formidable.”

“What use is strength? All the armed forces here are under our control. Can she alone defeat a fully armed security team?” Arland scoffed. “Oba, you are still too young, always unable to restrain your impulses. Think about it calmly. They can only be proud for a moment. They can’t compare to our hard power.”

“Now that you mention it… indeed! Even if the Cavendish family has her, it won’t change the situation. I was really furious and didn’t consider it thoroughly.”

“But what I’m interested in is the silver-haired dragon you mentioned.”

“Her… what about her?”

“Her appearance is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Arland cut the peeled orange and placed a slice in his mouth.

“We can kill that girl. Her death can help our New Chamber of Commerce reach new heights.”
