Chapter 1058 -1055: I Am a Good Person
“Although the Flame Kingdom is located in the vast ocean beyond the Legendary Continent, witnessing the development here with my own eyes, I can’t help feeling deeply worried.”
The envoy group from Eagle Kingdom was still led by Alexander White Iron.
At this moment, he had already settled into the guild hall of the Flame King City. After following the reception staff to visit the Flame King City and the Sun Moon Star Palace and returning to the guild hall, a look of sorrow inevitably appeared on his face.
“Yes, my lord, the Flame King City is really too, too…” The deputy tried to express his feelings, but after opening his mouth for a long time, he couldn’t find the right words to describe what he had seen.
Realizing what the deputy was trying to convey, Alexander said, “It’s too much like the Moon Empire.”
“Exactly, my lord, that’s the feeling. It’s as if we are walking in the legendary Moon Empire. Tall stone buildings, wide and clean streets, neatly arranged shops and houses, the endlessly patrolling teams, and all those strange carriages sprinting around—the real Moon Empire must be just like this.”
After finishing his praises, the deputy couldn’t help adding a hint of jealousy: “Having an archmage truly makes a difference. The light of civilization brought by magic allows the Flame Kingdom to enjoy such wonders.”
Alexander sighed, “Moon Mountain, Sun Mountain, King Liszt’s ambition, I fear, is even greater than imagined. Just his vision alone is difficult to look up to.”
“What do those two mountains have to do with King Liszt’s vision?”
“Moon Mountain represents the Moon Empire, and Sun Mountain represents the Sun Empire. His royal palace is the Sun Moon Star Palace, doesn’t this mean that he is claiming to inherit all the glory of both the Moon Empire and the Sun Empire?”
“The Sun Empire?” The deputy was full of confusion.
“It is another ancient magical civilization as great as the Moon Empire, not located on the Legendary Continent but on the opposite side of the Devil’s Sea. After the collapse of the magical civilization, it has been impossible to reach the other side of the Devil’s Sea.” As a member of the Royal Family and a noble of high birth, Alexander knew a lot.
In fact, the legend of the Sun Empire was no secret, but due to limited information transfer, most commoners and minor nobles had never heard of it. Thus, when Liszt first learned of the ‘Child of the Sun’, he thought he had discovered an extraordinary new world.
History might not have been recorded, but in a fantasy world filled with magic power, the Dragon Rearing Family, with its long and storied history, naturally knew of many ancient secrets passed down.
“Then, my lord, has King Liszt truly inherited the Sun Empire?”
“Who knows? Maybe he has, and maybe he hasn’t…” Alexander didn’t elaborate further. He naturally knew that this so-called “inheritance” was pure nonsense. Between the ancient magical civilization and the knightly civilization, there was no real connection—it was just the Dragon Rearing Family’s own embellishment.
However, to fool the commoners and minor nobles proved quite effective. It made commoners hold great reverence for the nobility and minor nobles feel awed by the greater nobility.
In his view, Liszt was doing the same: giving himself unashamed accolades and claiming the glory of both the Moon Empire and the Sun Empire. But to Alexander, it seemed right for Liszt to do so because the Flame Kingdom had two archmages.
Whoever has an archmage can rightfully claim to have inherited an ancient magical civilization.
The era is now defined by the shrinking of the Magic Web, making it very difficult for archmages to advance. Without the favor of magic, without the attention of truth, it is impossible for an archmage to be born.
So Alexander swiftly changed the topic: “Many magicians from the three great kingdoms are now moving to the Flame Kingdom, which has become a sacred land for magic. And there he is, the ‘Son of Glory,’ the most favored by the knight’s honor. Dragons and sub-dragons almost revolve around him… This is not good for our Eagle Kingdom.”
“Indeed, the ‘Sapphire Fly’ Pioneer Mandate is now secretly supported by King Liszt. It’s just a shame that the victories of the two dragon-slaying wars have left our country unable to cope,” the deputy shook his head.
Mentioning the Pioneer Mandate, Alexander fell into silence. It was a century-long shame of the Eagle Kingdom. He had thought that upon Adonis’ accession to the throne and his heavy reliance on Alonso Immortal Arrival, they would be able to once for all deal with the hidden threat of the Sapphire Fly. Yet, he had not expected it to inadvertently highlight Liszt’s rise to power.
After a while, he managed to adjust his mood and expressed his emotion with a sigh,
“Dragons truly do whatever they wish!”
…
The very Liszt, who was giving Alexander such a headache, was currently hosting the Steel Ridge Kingdom Envoy Group that had just arrived at the Sun Moon Star Palace.
Group leader Mathew of the Red and White Roses was his honored guest, whom he accompanied personally to the banquet.
“Mathew, thank you for taking on the role of envoy group leader in person to celebrate the founding ceremony of the Flame Kingdom. And also, thank you for the gift from the Red and White Rose Family. This batch of Red Dragon Water is of enormous help to me,” Liszt sincerely thanked Mathew; raising dragons consumed vast resources,

with Red Dragon Water being the scarcest magic potion.
“Your Majesty Liszt, you are the most honored friend of the Red and White Rose Family. Were it not for my father’s advanced age, he would have even wished to come in person to celebrate Your Majesty’s occasion.”
“I fully appreciate the Duke of Rose’s sentiment, Mathew. Tonight, we shall drink to our hearts’ content.”
“Indeed, I would like that.”
After several rounds of drinking, the atmosphere at the banquet became more lively. That was when Mathew brought up the matter of a marriage alliance, subtly hinting that his sister had come of age and was eagerly hoping to meet Liszt.
However, having no plans of marrying Marilyn Rose of Red and White to become Queen, Liszt deflected the issue with a laugh, indicating that he was simply too occupied at the moment to spare any thought for such matters. This was his non-offensive way of hinting that he would not be welcoming Marilyn.
He did hold a fondness for the generous Red and White Rose Family, who liked to win people over with money.
It’s just that Mathew seemed not to grasp this, or rather, he believed in the excuse Liszt gave—that the early stages of founding a kingdom were indeed overwhelmingly busy.
He thought that once Liszt got past this busy period, he might then consider the matter of marriage.
So the banquet continued in high spirits. The drunken Mathew was assisted away to rest by a servant, while Liszt, who had already used Dou Qi to sober up, took a bath.
In the steam-filled bathroom, the crystal lamp fixtures emitted a soft glow.
He couldn’t help but rub his head and mused, “Mathew, such an honest man… I made my hints so clear, how come he hasn’t caught on… It seems after the founding ceremony is over, I will need to write a letter to clarify my stance explicitly. I can’t delay Marilyn’s life over a bit of Red Dragon Water.”
Despite being a qualified noble, often considering things from a perspective of interests, deep down, he still retained a simple goodness.
No matter the politics or interests at play, they should not affect an innocent young girl.
He made up his mind.
He couldn’t help but smile slightly, “I am indeed a good person.”
