I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 353 The battle for the throne

At night, Zhenna opened the door of Ganouen's bedroom and saw Ganouen sitting at the tea table. She looked into the room and saw no one else. She sighed softly: "You want me to come down tonight." , you could have told me earlier, why is it so sudden..."

"It's not for that kind of thing." Ganouen raised his hand and smiled, then said seriously, "I have something I want to talk to you about."

Seeing this, Zhenna straightened her face and sat down, nodding: "Just tell me."

"The empire is serious this time. I am prepared to kill Fred if conditions permit." Ganon said bluntly.

"This must have been one of your goals." Zhenna had little reaction to this, "I won't object to you either."

"What I want to talk about is what happened after that. Didn't Bishop Marcel mention before that he wanted to recommend you to deal with Fred?" Ganouen said.

"You want to..." Zhenna basically guessed what Ganon was going to say.

"If you can successfully kill Fred, I hope you will accept Bishop Marcel's proposal and succeed to the throne." Ganouen said seriously.

Zhenna looked at Ganon in astonishment. After a while, she lowered her eyes slightly: "I had already put down the things over there..."

She didn't have much interest in the throne to begin with. Only some powerful people who opposed Fred used her as a tool to contain the original Princess Fred, which was better than nothing.

Later, when she was almost assassinated by Fred, she had no way to return to the empire, let alone take revenge on Fred, so she could only stay in Ganon territory.

After the death of her only father, Fred became the master of the empire, and her last trace of nostalgia for this country disappeared.

At this point, she became a member of the Endless Tower with peace of mind and stayed with Ganon. She was very satisfied with the current situation, and she never thought about competing for the throne.

If Fred is killed by Ganon, a series of problems accumulated during her reign will explode, and the empire will inevitably enter a period of turmoil. The throne of the empire will probably be a hot potato by then.

And based on Zhenna's current position, if she wants to sit on the throne despite her slandered reputation, she will have to go through a lot of twists and turns, and political struggles that she doesn't like will also follow.

"But I need you to do this. The most terrifying enemy is not Fred, but the trouble after that. Those existences cannot be easily dealt with with the resources of this land. I need the resources of the empire." Ganon said seriously said.

The overall combat power of Dragon Ascension Nest has surpassed that of a major country. Angst also found a large number of strange dragon eggs in the residence of the Blue Dragon King, indicating whether the Blue Dragon King still has any trump cards to use.

What made him even more uneasy was the existence under the original site of the Endless Tower. If that thing was related to the disaster that Baphomet said caused the gods to disappear, then it would be unimaginable for them to face something.

The resources of this barbaric land he cultivated at the junction of these countries are basically equivalent to that of a province in the empire.

After defeating Fred, it is necessary to make proper use of the vast resources of the empire and ensure that the empire will not cause trouble to the territory here in the future. Let Zhenna inherit the throne is the best choice.

Zhenna obviously thought of this as well. She fell silent and seemed to be thinking seriously.

"Before, Bishop Marcel told me that a central bishop noticed traces of a curse when your father died, and now we are convinced that Fred is a warlock in the legendary realm." Ganon slowly said said.

"So, she really killed her father?" Zhenna raised her face.

"At the moment, it may be very high. I did some simple research and found that there are shortcuts for a warlock to improve his realm, such as using contracts to hunt souls, or devouring demons, and... a painful sacrifice Sacrifice." Ganon said.

"Sacrifice?" Zhenna suddenly realized something.

"To put it simply, it means sacrificing the person you love, preferably a blood relative. The stronger the negative emotions you endure during the sacrifice, the more power you get. I think this is why she insisted on killing you in the first place. One of the reasons," Ganoen said.

"So that's it." Zhenna whispered, "Sister Huang may indeed do this. She will do whatever it takes to do this."

She didn't seem too surprised, and Ganouen could tell that she had probably expected and prepared herself for this. "What are you going to do?" Ganon asked.

"Since you hope so much, let's do it. Kill her, and we will take the throne together." Zhenna took a deep breath, but her tone remained calm.

But Ganouen could tell that Zhenna had already made a decision, and it was all for his consideration.

"Thank you." Ganon said sincerely, "Actually, you don't have to bear it all the time. You can let it go when everything is settled."

"How can it be so easy to let go of the burden you have taken up? After inheriting the throne, I can't leave without leaving a mess, right?" Zhenna smiled helplessly.

"Perhaps it can be handed over to our children in the future?" Ganon asked with a smile.

"You are thinking too far." Zhenna chuckled softly and shook her head, "I thought you were more or less interested in dominating this country from behind."

"It sounds troublesome. In fact, I have always just wanted to live a good life." Ganon said, thought for a while, and added, "With you."

"It's with 'you'." Zhenna raised her eyebrows at Ganouen with a little sarcasm.

Ganon laughed and kissed Zhenna's forehead.

Longkou Fortress.

Fred stood at the top of the city, looking at the troops assembled in the position.

The two completed large airships, the Conquest and the Triumph, were parked at the launch site for final adjustments. The giant Terrast stood in an open space and was putting on a piece of dragon scale armor.

This was Lucio's idea. They strung together the dragon scales and bones saved by the empire's past dragon slayings, and made a huge scale armor for Tyrast. The dragon scales of various colors were spliced ​​together to make the scales more attractive. The nails look colorful.

"Fred." Lucio's call came from behind.

"What?" Fred turned around.

"What are you going to do with your sister, Zhenna?" Lucio asked seriously.

"I promised my father to spare her life and try my best not to kill her." Fred replied calmly, "But..."

The pause made Lucio look confused: "But what?"

"I think she has already made up her mind to kill me." Fred chuckled.

"As a last resort..." Lucio then asked.

"It doesn't matter." Fred suddenly smiled and shook his head, "She is not a threat at all. I don't need to care about her at all."

Seeing this, Lucio stopped asking any more questions.

"Dear Your Majesty." Isis walked up to the top of the city and saluted respectfully, "The messenger from Dark Night City has arrived, and the troops will arrive at noon tomorrow."

"Then this is the last unit. We will have one day to prepare. The morning after tomorrow..." Fred said, looking to the north, "This is the end of the red dragon."
