Shortly after being sent there, she encountered Mikawus, who had taken over Julius's body, and was rescued from the territory of that tribe of rams by him, thus gaining her freedom!

He then followed Mikawus on his travels across the country. Although Mikawus taught him to read and write, it was only within the scope of a primary school student, let alone having any contact with Pal or the like.

Seeing Anya's bewildered expression and feeling the increasingly terrifying aura emanating from Bai Zhelong in the air, Mikawus shouted loudly:

Forget about all that, just accept me!

"Good, good."

The girl, who had never seen Mikawus in such a posture before, subconsciously shrank her neck, while Abdunia's gaze toward Mikawus gradually turned cold.

Immediately afterward, as Mikawus fell, a dangerous light shone behind Anya, and a massive star-shaped marking that covered her entire back appeared on her back.

That was the symbol of the pact between Mikawus, or rather, Mordred and Anya.

(The picture shows Mordred.)

Chapter Twenty-One: Put on the Collar! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

After seeing Julius's body fall to the ground, Bai Zhe sighed, his burning golden eyes gazing at Anya not far away.

"Now we've fulfilled the Dragon Mother's request and put a collar around this mad dragon's neck."

All that's left is to hand it over to Anya, and this descendant of the Dark Dragon King, whose heart is filled with hatred, will obediently follow orders.

The reward this time was that the original subordinate contract with the Dragon Mother was changed into a subservient contract.

This Mother of Ten Thousand Dragons has now become a slave whom he can use and manipulate at will.

It can be said that the Dragon Mother sacrificed far too much to ensure the continued existence of the dragon race in this world.

Even the Demon King felt pity for her.

However, the contract will never be dissolved.

Beneath the statue, noticing Bai Zhe's gaze and hearing the Demon King's words, Abdunia embraced Anya from behind, affectionately stroking her pretty face, and whispered in her ear in a rather seductive voice, "It seems that from now on, we sisters will serve His Majesty together~"

Upon hearing this, the girl with the single ponytail, number 11, gritted her teeth and said, "Serving... I would never do that!"

However, Abduniya laughed and retorted to Anya's stubbornness, "You naughty little sister, your master just made love to my master like that, are you still resisting?"

Judging from the conversation between the other party and Mikawus just now, my sister is completely like a child who hasn't grown up yet, and she does everything according to Mikawus's wishes.

However, now that she has found Anya, she will have plenty of time to properly discipline her younger sister's dependence on Mikawus.

Gradually, the person she depends on will become Bai Zhe!

As for whether Anya will run away after being released, Mordred inside her hasn't even spoken yet, so she absolutely won't leave.

Moreover, based on her understanding of Veronica, she would likely execute most of the prisoners in the church today.

As the sole survivor, Anya will have no choice but to stay behind!

At this moment, Bai Zhe slowly withdrew his gaze, looked at Julius lying on the ground, and asked Veronica:

"What should I do with this person?"

Although he now dislikes Julius quite a bit because of what happened earlier, the other party is still Veronica's brother, so he should inform him before dealing with him.

Upon hearing this, Veronica, disregarding any sibling affection, bluntly stated, "Don't worry about him. He was just a useless crown prince anyway, and now he's just a corpse. We'll just cremate him and scatter his ashes in the river."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe paused for a moment before speaking, "Um... he's actually still alive."

This was the first time he had felt pity for someone of the same sex since he transmigrated.

Veronica, however, looked puzzled upon hearing what Bai Zhe said.

"He's still alive?"

The First Princess then clapped her hands and ordered the soldiers who had entered, "You, carry this cripple out and just dump him on the street."

As the soldiers carried Julius out, Veronica, regardless of whether he was conscious or not, spoke again: "By the way, you should repay the life my husband saved for you this time with your own life."

As Julius was being carried out, Bai Zhe slowly approached Veronica, his gaze sweeping over the rebels and imperial spies bound there. He asked her, "Have the numbers been counted?"

Veronica nodded upon hearing this.

"We've taken a count; those who weren't killed are all here."

"However, just to be on the safe side, I think it's best to interrogate them again."

"Interrogation? I have a faster way."

Bai Zhe's words drew Veronica's attention to him, or rather, to the gold coin that had suddenly appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Veronica immediately asked, "You're not going to use this to bribe them, are you?"

"Ignorant women should just shut their mouths and watch."

Veronica, feeling annoyed after being glared at by Bai Zhe, obediently shut her mouth, eagerly anticipating Bai Zhe's next move.

At the same time, everyone—from Abduniya and Anya beneath the statue to the captured rebels, imperial spies, and soldiers present—cast puzzled glances.

Bai Zhe approached a prisoner, held a gold coin between two fingers, and asked him, "Want some?"

Under the Demon King's questioning, the prisoner, whose eyes had been filled with fear, suddenly became lifeless and nodded mechanically.

"Then I will bestow this upon you. By accepting this gift of gold, you will also bear this curse."

As Bai Zhe finished speaking, a whisper, like the murmuring of ghosts, echoed throughout the church on a cold wind.

“You will spew filth from your mouth and walk on four legs… You will crawl in the deep and hide in caves! You will be covered in armor and have claws like swords.”

The eerie wind that hung in what was once a sacred church sent a chill down Veronica's spine.

But then, her eyes widened, and she, like everyone else, showed a shocked expression.

Because right in front of her, a living person merged into the other person's body the instant the gold coin fell from Bai Zhe's hand.

Then the person's flesh and blood suddenly swelled up, bones began to twist, and tendons reconnected as they broke... eventually turning into a hideous dragon covered in black scales!

The bloody scene caused many soldiers present to vomit, while Abdulya, who was holding Anya under the statue, could feel her sister trembling with fear.

Even Veronica's eyes sharpened at this moment. If this monster hadn't been created by Bai Zhe, she would have drawn her sword and beheaded this abhorrent monster the instant it appeared!

Seeing this, the Demon King finally spoke up: "Everyone, now is the time for interrogation. If you want to live, tell us all the information you know honestly."

"I'll talk! I'll talk!!"

After witnessing what had just happened, one group of people's mental defenses were instantly shattered, and they rushed to tell everyone they knew what they knew.

Even those who originally intended to take the intelligence to their graves were forced to reveal the information they possessed under the influence of this atmosphere of fear.

"This country has been thoroughly infiltrated."

Seeing this, Bai Zhe turned to Veronica behind him and said, "You know what to do next, Veronica."

As Bai Zhe finished speaking, flames erupted from the dragon beside him, and it instantly turned to ashes.

As someone known for her war prowess, Veronica knew exactly what to do without needing Bai Zhe to say more. After having these people's words recorded, she directly executed these rebels and spies in the church.

However, before the execution began, the girl with the single ponytail was taken out of the church by her sister, preventing her from witnessing this bloody scene.

That same evening, while Sylvia was enjoying her victory at the Aries Palace Dragon Riding Festival, Veronica used her power as the First Princess to mobilize the army and, over the next three days, carry out a massive purge of the entire Knight Kingdom.

Over 90% of the Empire's spies were captured and executed.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Sylvia's Reward! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

On the night of the Dragon Riding Festival at Aries Palace, when Silvia won the championship.

At the banquet, Bai Zhe brought Veronica and Prinz to Sylvia and congratulated the young woman.

First, Prinz, who was acting as a maid, said: "Congratulations on winning the championship of this Dragon Riding Festival, Your Highness Sylvia."

Then Veronica, standing next to Bai Zhe, crossed her arms and said proudly, "Not bad, keep up the good work."

Having shed her blood-stained armor and donned an evening gown, the First Princess seemed to possess an air of elegance, and her congratulations left Sylvia somewhat flattered.

Finally, they arrived at Bai Zhe. The Demon King looked at the blonde princess before him, who was undoubtedly the star of tonight's banquet, dressed in a gown and as beautiful as a fairy, and said:

"Congratulations on winning the crown of this Dragon Riding Festival, Sylvia."

"As I promised before the competition, what kind of reward do you want?"

"Kiss..."

The girl's reply was very soft, almost inaudible.

As she uttered the word, a shy blush appeared on Sylvia's beautiful face, and she became somewhat bashful.

Seeing this, Veronica immediately reprimanded, "What? Speak louder! Is this the kind of shy, timid personality you've been raised by the Royal Family of Loreia?!"

It was Bai Zhe who spoke up for the girl, making Sylvia's icy blue eyes look at her with even more gratitude and admiration.

"Don't scold her. I heard her request clearly. Girls in this situation will be shy."

"Aren't you the same? Back when we were in bed, you told me not to look at your face."

Faced with the Demon King's teasing, Veronica, the First Princess known as the Iron-Blooded Valkyrie, showed a rare shy expression.

Sylvia and Cosette looked surprised, but Prinrose, who was standing to the side, was already used to it.

After all, Veronica's even more shy demeanor was something she had witnessed at least three times in the past few days!

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhe extended his hand to Sylvia and invited her, "Come on, let's pick a quiet and beautiful place~".

Faced with the Demon King's invitation, the golden-haired princess readily accepted, placing her delicate hand in Bai Zhe's palm.

The two then disappeared from the banquet, much to Cosette's surprise.

As a maid, she was naturally worried about the whereabouts and safety of her master, and thus asked Veronica in front of her:

"Um, Your Highness Veronica, where did the Princess and His Majesty go?"

Upon hearing this, Veronica gave a mocking smile and said to Cosette:

"Of course, we should go somewhere where no one will bother us. With him around, Sylvia's safety is not a concern. What you should be worried about is whether your master is carrying a little life."

"If Sylvia had the guts..."

Despite saying this, based on her understanding of Bai Zhe, Sylvia, who already harbored feelings for him, would definitely be led astray by him!

After answering Cosette's question, Veronica saw Rebecca, dressed in the Dragon Rider Academy uniform, coming to find her with her vice president.

Seeing this, the First Princess took a brand-new glass of red wine from a passing servant's tray, took a sip, gently swirled the wine in the glass, and asked the red-haired girl who had come before her:

"Is there something you need, Rebecca? If you want to join my Dragon Legion, I can appoint you as my second-in-command right now."

"Of course, if the little guy behind you is also interested, I would welcome him with open arms."

As she spoke, Veronica looked at the handsome black-haired boy following behind Rebecca with a scrutinizing gaze.

Faced with Veronica's sharp gaze, Oscar, who was known as a young nobleman in the academy, showed a rare hint of panic.

She now felt like prey being watched, completely seen through by the other party.

As a result, not only did a cold sweat trickle down his fair cheeks, but he also nervously waved his hands, politely declining Veronica's invitation.

"Um, please allow me to consider it."

Upon hearing this, Rebecca also politely declined the princess's request.

Seeing this, Veronica's eyes flashed with displeasure, and she then spoke to Rebecca again: "You're not here to pledge allegiance to me, nor to offer me talent, so what brings you here?"

Despite the royal family's cold attitude, Rebecca remained calm and composed, and then made a request to them:

"Please tell me, Your Highness, the true identity of the dragon-like monster that appeared in Ansari today."

"Understanding the enemy is my duty as the student council president of the Ansari Dragon Academy!!"

Although the three-headed corpse-ash dragons looked like dragons, as a Holy Sky Dragon Knight, she could clearly sense that the aura emanating from these three monsters was not holy at all, but rather violent and full of danger.

It was like an angry ghost forcibly dragged out of hell!

Seeing the serious look on Rebecca's face, Veronica's admiration for her talent rekindled. However, halfway through the invitation, knowing that the other party would refuse her again, Veronica didn't want to make a fool of herself and changed the subject.

"...What a competent student council president. I suggest you just... forget it."

"Since you're so eager, I'll tell you the true nature and origin of those monsters."
