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

Chapter 372 The princesses’ residence crisis

After the war with the Empire ended, Ganon was busy throughout the day.

Send people to contact Muxia, clean up the battlefield, count prisoners of war and trophies, inspect the damage to the territory... The most important thing is to make preparations for taking over the empire.

He took Zhenna and summoned Bishop Marcel, who was responsible for commanding the ground troops in the territory, and informed him of the death of Fred and Lucio, and also explained that Fred had exposed his identity as a warlock during the battle.

Before, he had informed him about Zhenna's agreement to succeed to the throne. When he learned that things were developing in the direction he expected, Bishop Marcel seemed very happy and gave him the next plan.

Once Fred and Lucio die, Dragon Head Castle will inevitably fall into chaos because the dragons have no leader. However, Zhenna's rash appearance at this time will not directly eliminate this chaos, but may intensify it.

If she wants to return to Longshou Fort, she must first do some work to build momentum.

Bishop Marcel is going to contact some local nobles and bishops who had previously opposed Fred's suppression, and unite to support Jenna. They want to tell the world about Fred's murder of the late emperor and Jenna. Fred's The belief in the abyss has been exposed, and this momentum should go smoothly.

"Then how do I explain my relationship with Zhenna?" Ganon asked.

Zhenna became a little nervous when she heard this. She thought about it and made up her mind: "I think there is nothing wrong with admitting this..."

"No, there is no need to explain at all. His Highness only needs to sign an alliance contract with you like Mu Xia after returning to Dragon Head Castle. If anyone suspects that a cunning evil dragon is trying to use His Highness to control this country, or wants to take advantage of This matter is a fuss, and no amount of explanation is useless, but as long as you are the backing of His Highness, the objections will not become a problem and we can just ignore it." Bishop Marcel replied.

"Wouldn't this lead to political instability?" Ganon asked.

"Everyone with sense knows what should be done to maintain the unity of the empire. As for those who are interested... I think after His Majesty Fred carried out purges before, there are basically no people who can lead such a storm. Believe me, no one has a more legitimate claim to the throne than Her Majesty Zhenna." Bishop Marcel said confidently, "Besides, what if there is support from the red dragon? In contrast, His Majesty Fred has faith in Abyss, there is also the fact of killing blood relatives, as for the others, their names are not justified."

Once Fred dies, the problems that have accumulated during her aggressive administration may explode in one fell swoop.

For most of the empire's dignitaries - and it should be said that it is the same for the common people, the current situation of the empire can be said to be precarious. If there is some internal division due to the competition for the throne, every class will be affected.

Moreover, once there is a big problem in the empire, other powerful forces in the surrounding areas, such as the Elemental Federation, Mu Xia, the Kingdom of Death, the Papal State... each of them may take actions that are detrimental to the empire.

As long as Zhenna stands up at this time, for the people of the empire to maintain the current situation of the empire, supporting Zhenna can be said to be the most appropriate approach.

Of course, for some ambitious people, this is an opportunity. Fortunately, during Fred's reign, these people have been suppressed to a great extent.

As for the public opinion Fred created against them, it is not a big problem. As the victors, as long as they operate properly, they can completely change the direction of public opinion.

"Think about it this way, what Fred has done all this time has actually paved the way for Zhenna?" Ganon said suddenly.

Zhenna was silent, thinking of Fred's last actions.

"Isn't this natural?" Bishop Marcel seemed very calm. "From the beginning to the end, His Highness did not pose much of a threat to His Majesty Fred. I think she killed His Highness mostly because of the need for sacrifice. Frey Her Majesty De has no heir so far. If she dies unexpectedly, the person she most hopes to inherit the throne will definitely be His Highness.

At least this way, the royal family's orthodoxy can still survive. Of course, on the other hand, if she had an heir, she would definitely hope to kill His Highness when she died to prevent any impact on her heir. "

"Sister Huang, she can probably do it." Zhenna also agreed. "Perhaps she has indeed considered the possibility of being killed. After all, if she takes such a path, the probability of dying unexpectedly is higher."

Ganon could somewhat understand this logic, but he still couldn't empathize with Fred's way of thinking.

After determining the direction of future actions, Ganon sent some guards to Bishop Marcel, and then sent them all to the eastern part of the empire to start their activities.

By the time he returned to the territory, it was completely dark.

Naturally, it was impossible to complete the territory's reconstruction work in one day. Except for Ganouen, other members of the tower had also been busy all day. When Ganouen came to the restaurant, he was surprised to find that no member had had dinner yet.

He simply asked everyone to stop what they were doing, gather around the dining table to settle dinner, and summarize the situation.

When everyone arrived, Ganon asked Baphomet to prepare the meal quickly.

"I'm already preparing and will present it to you right away." Baphomet's main body golem replied respectfully, "But before that, there is something I need to report to you..."

"Say." Ganon nodded.

"The Tower of Endlessness may need to be renovated if it is above the third floor." Baphomet reported.

"Didn't he only get hit by one arrow? I think he was hit between the fifth and sixth floors, right?" Ganon frowned.

"In fact, because the structure of each floor above the three floors is exactly the same, the load-bearing structures are connected. And you know, the fifth floor and up are all newly built by us recently, and they are a bit unstable. This time The damage may not seem big, but it has actually affected the load-bearing structure above..." Baphomet said seriously.

"I don't know much about architecture, can you just tell me the conclusion?" Ganouen raised his hand to interrupt her.

"To be on the safe side...it's best to renovate everything. During this period, these places need to be temporarily closed," Baphomet said.

"So?" Ganon vaguely realized something.

"After construction starts, there will be no room for people to live up there for the time being." Baphomet concluded.

The other members present immediately looked at each other, which meant that their rooms were unavailable.

"Wait, where should we live?" Anya immediately put forward an opinion.

"There are many rooms on the second floor. In fact, if we add a few more beds to the living room, and then free up the reception room and study room, I think we can handle it." Baphomet gave a solution.
