Anime Crossover: I Was Chosen by a Goddess and Became the Demon King

Cassandra was one of them. The dark-haired princess could sense an ominous power emanating from her and was the first to speak up, asking the question that had been on everyone's mind.

"That is?"

"The Rhine Gold, a cursed treasure guarded by a legendary evil dragon, capable of causing war and chaos."

With the appearance of Rhine Gold, even Veronica, who thought she would not be moved by anything external, looked at the gold in the Demon King's hand with greed.

Mordred even drooled from the corner of his mouth.

However, because the gold was in Bai Zhe's hands, and given the almost suffocating aura emanating from the Demon King, no one dared to try and snatch it.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhe threw the gold in his hand toward the city wall.

As the crowd on the wall snapped out of their greed, a sublime yet wicked incantation rang out from Bai Zhe's mouth.

"I bestow upon you both glory and curse upon this treasure."

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

As the incantation was invoked, the curse of the Rhinegold spread rapidly among the death row inmates beneath the city walls.

Those who originally wanted to escape were drawn to the gold, stopped in their tracks, and unleashed unimaginable power, pouncing on the gold on the ground like hyenas.

The first person to grab the gold was quickly torn to pieces by the others.

Slaughter, bloodshed, wailing, and frenzy unfolded before the western gate of the capital.

Ultimately, those who plundered the gold underwent physical mutations, their bodies became covered in scales, their fingers turned into claws, their cheeks grew out of sharp teeth, and their heads sprouted horns.

Then it opened its mouth and let out a roar that made people's hair stand on end. Finally, jet-black wings grew from its back, and it transformed into a series of ferocious dragons with hideous faces and bodies at least five meters long, which crawled on the ground!

Apart from the initial few hundred, most of the prisoners turned into dragons. Even those death row inmates who were lucky enough not to turn into dragons eventually became the first meal of the dragons after their transformation.

On the city wall, the girls rubbed their arms together, trying to reduce the shock and fear in their hearts.

Even Abduniya and Anya, who had witnessed such a scene before, trembled slightly.

Only Veronica and Mordred, a descendant of the Hades Dragon, showed extremely excited expressions.

The former even opened his arms as if welcoming the world, announcing to everyone present.

"Hahaha, do you all see that? This is the power of my husband! Unrivaled! With this power, on this continent, whether it be an empire or a kingdom, they will all be trampled under our feet!!"

"This is a power that should absolutely not exist in this world!!"

At the same time, Mirabelle, who was closest to Bai Zhe, looked at the Demon King with shocked eyes and asked him in a fearful and trembling voice, "Are you a god or a devil who can make people ride on evil dragons?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe brushed a strand of hair behind the silver-haired princess's ear before speaking to her, "He's just a god-slaying demon king who stole power from the gods."

Among the ministers behind Sylvia as Bai Zhe responded to Mirabelle's question.

The red-haired duke, looking at the horde of dragons below the city walls, was filled with shock and terror. He even abandoned his usual elegance and went straight to his daughter at the back of the group, who was also showing a look of shock.

“Rebecca, you’ve grown up and are now a beautiful young woman. It’s time to find you a suitable husband.”

"???"

With the girl already having a vague suspicion, the red-haired duke spoke again:

"On the first day of the new king's coronation, during the audience ceremony, I heard Princess Veronica say that His Majesty fell in love with you at first sight. Now is the time for you to repay the Randall family."

Although the Randall family has always stood with the royal family among the nobility, everything has changed now.

Even though Sylvia became the new queen of the Knights Kingdom, it was obvious to everyone that she was just a puppet put out by Veronica.

And now, it's clear that this man who can turn people into dragons is the true mastermind, the true uncrowned king of this country!

Rebecca looked solemn and serious as she listened to her father's words.

"I will work hard."

Because the girl could feel the weight of her father's words, the future of the Randall family rested on her shoulders.

However, Rebecca was also feeling a little uneasy at this moment.

Although she was very confident in her appearance and temperament, she didn't know if she could catch Bai Zhe's eye...

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Zhe looked at the blonde queen beside him and said, "Sylvia, now return to the palace and announce this to the people in the square."

The girl nodded, and then the Holy Dragon Lancelot, which was behind the city wall, flew up and carried the girl back to the palace.

Then, surrounded by her courtiers who had rushed back to the palace, the girl stood on the platform facing the square and announced her existence to her people, as well as the start of the Knights Kingdom's war against the Empire.

Although many people in the square initially opposed the idea, once Sylvia finished speaking and the massive dragons soared over the palace, no one objected anymore!

Then Sylvia recounted the Empire's actions against the Knights Kingdom over the years, igniting a flame of revenge in the hearts of many. As a result, many people in the square were filled with righteous indignation and expressed their willingness to go to the front lines to kill the enemy.

Even those who remained clear-headed and questioned the purpose of this war against the empire were ultimately swallowed up by the fervent crowd!

After returning to the palace from her speech, Sylvia kept several of her father's old ministers and nobles who had expressed their support immediately after her ascension to the throne. She took them and the two princesses to the king's office to discuss the troop deployment for the war.

Veronica stood beside Sylvia as always.

Bai Zhe and Mordred, on the other hand, were sitting on a sofa not far from the desk, playing chess.

The black-haired dragon girl was repeatedly defeated by the Demon King, to the point that she finally resorted to her girlish whims and started flipping the chessboard, rendering the game invalid. But Bai Zhe was no pushover either, and directly used magic to restore all the pieces to their original positions, allowing Mordred to continue.

When the two finished their game of chess, everyone discussed the course of the war.

The dragon knights, led by Veronica, moved toward the imperial border overnight, while the horde of dragons secretly infiltrated the border.

After the Empire responded to the Knights' declaration of war, it launched a surprise attack and marched straight in, annihilating the enemy forces.

Meanwhile, the Knights Kingdom urgently mobilized its entire military force, striving to integrate all its troops before the Empire could react, and to storm the Imperial capital in one fell swoop after Veronica annihilated the Imperial army!

Chapter Thirty-Six: Jessica's Proposal! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

Just as they had discussed in the King's office, Veronica said goodbye to Bai Zhe that evening and led her army directly to the border overnight.

Sylvia began to gather dragon knights from across the country in the name of the king.

Because of the newly promulgated military merit system, anyone who earns military merit in war can be granted a noble title and territory commensurate with their military achievements.

Therefore, even many students at the Riding Dragon College in Ansari are responding to the call.

Although most people still have doubts about the military merit system, it is indeed the best way to get ahead in the Knight Kingdom at present!

Three days later, the Knight Kingdom and the Empire went to war. Veronica led her Dragon Knights and her evil dragon horde to wipe out 30,000 Imperial troops in one fell swoop, and captured three border cities of the Empire in a single day.

Only when the first person to be pardoned and granted land did people truly believe in the legitimacy of the military merit system!

Between the thrones, under the watchful eyes of the courtiers on both sides, the person receiving the medal slowly entered through the door.

She is a rather young girl with orange curly hair, and also the first person in Ansari State Dragon Riding Academy to respond to Sylvia's call!

Although Jessica's goal was to become a true noblewoman, the girl's attitude still left a very good impression on Sylvia.

As a member of the Dragon Riding Academy, the girl naturally recognized the blonde girl sitting on the throne as her classmate.

Back in the academy, the other party was a noble princess, and now she is the king of a country who requires her to kneel.

However, Jessica did not hold a grudge. Instead, she was very grateful to Sylvia, because it was this new king who gave her the opportunity to rise above others.

"Raise your head, Jessica Valentine. According to Veronica's reply, you thwarted three rebellions in the captured imperial capital and provided excellent advice for her to conquer a water city. I hereby grant you the title of Baron, with your territory in the forest south of the Randall family."

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty. I will live up to your name and bring you even more victories."

Although she was only a baron, the lowest rank among the nobility, Jessica had at least escaped the ranks of ordinary people and become the noble she had always dreamed of.

Moreover, and most importantly, this title is hereditary!

This made Jessica extremely excited.

This is followed by the traditional ceremony where the king places his sword on the shoulder of the new nobleman, who then swears allegiance.

Because Jessica was the first person in the academy to respond to her call and the first person she granted a pardon, Sylvia hosted a special banquet for the girl that evening.

Jessica's parents naturally attended the banquet, and Duke Randall graciously allowed Rebecca to lead the young girl to interact with other nobles.

Although many nobles inquired about the girl's marital status, she politely declined them all.

Because her heart had already been occupied by a black-haired figure on the day the Corpse Dragon first appeared in Ansaribang, and there was no room for any other man!

After drinking and chatting for more than an hour, Queen Silvia left Odward in the government office to handle state affairs, and came to the banquet with her personal maid Cosette and her two sisters.

With the arrival of the blonde queen and the two princesses, the banquet reached its climax. Jessica, as the protagonist of the banquet, naturally had to express her gratitude once again to Sylvia for announcing the military merit system.

Seeing this, Sylvia naturally had to put on another show of deep affection between the monarch and the young girl.

After exchanging pleasantries with the various nobles at the banquet, she heard Jessica asking her about Bai Zhe, so she took the girl to a small room next to the banquet to rest.

Upon entering, with no outsiders around, Sylvia's dignified aura crumbled instantly, and she slumped onto the sofa, leaving Jessica, who was following behind her, completely bewildered.

"Maintaining a smile while dealing with those nobles is so difficult. If I could, I'd love to go to the front lines!"

Hearing the girl's sigh, Cosette, who had just brewed tea for her, still had a smile on her face, but her words revealed a serious tone.

"That won't do, Your Majesty. You are of inestimable health. Unless the war situation changes, you must not go there rashly."

After Cosette finished speaking, Sylvia picked up the tea served by the maid, took a sip, and looked at Jessica who was still standing. She immediately said, "Don't stand there, sit down wherever you like."

Although Sylvia said so, how could Jessica be so casual in front of the king of a country?

It wasn't until Cosette set an example for her, putting down another cup of tea before casually sitting down next to Sylvia, that things changed.

Seeing this, Jessica apologized and slowly sat down.

"excuse me."

After Jessica sat down, Sylvia put down her teacup with satisfaction and slowly asked, "What do you need Brother Bai Zhe for?"

Upon hearing this, the orange-haired girl scratched her cheek with her index finger and said shyly, "When he saved me in Ansari, I fell in love with him at first sight, but I didn't dare to express my love because I didn't have a title before."

“But now that I have a title, although it’s only the lowest rank of baron, it still gives me a noble status. So I want to ask him if he needs a mistress. If he’s willing, I’m willing to give him all the profits from the territory!”

At first, Cosette couldn't help but chuckle at Jessica's words, but by the end she burst out laughing, causing the young girl to furrow her brows slightly.

Cosette's laughter naturally drew Sylvia's attention.

Upon seeing this, the purple-haired maid immediately straightened her posture and apologized to Jessica, explaining the situation.

"I'm sorry, Miss Jessica, please forgive my rudeness."

"What you just said was the funniest joke I've heard all year."

"To tell you the truth, the military merit system was proposed by His Majesty Bai Zhe, and the evil dragon army you saw on the border was also created by him."

As Cosette finished speaking, Jessica immediately lowered her head in shame and covered her bright red face with her hands.

Because what she just said was basically using Bai Zhe's things to make a deal with him!

This made the girl feel quite ashamed of her words, which were tantamount to a confession.

Seeing this, Sylvia realized the girl's true feelings for Bai Zhe. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I will send Cosette to explain the situation to Brother Bai Zhe, but it may not be successful, so you should be prepared."

After all, given her sister Veronica's arrogant personality, if Bai Zhe really only liked beautiful women, the entire palace would be filled with them by now.

But that's not actually the case; the other person will only express interest in women he's interested in.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty Sylvia!!"

Upon hearing this, Jessica instantly snapped out of her embarrassment and thanked the blonde queen with an excited expression.

Sylvia simply smiled in response to the girl's thanks.

After talking to Jessica for a while, the blonde girl led Jessica away from the lounge.

Meanwhile, Cosette, who had been sent by Sylvia to consult Bai Zhe, returned and told him that she would accept Jessica's message.

At the banquet, after seeing Sylvia and Jessica come out of the lounge, Rebecca immediately went to the girl's side after Sylvia left her side, wanting to find out from Jessica what the two had talked about in the lounge.

But before she could speak, Jessica placed her hand on her shoulder and exclaimed excitedly, "I did it! I confessed my feelings successfully! His Majesty Bai Zhe has agreed to let me be his mistress!!"

"!!!"

Rebecca was completely bewildered upon hearing this.

What's going on? I just finished making plans and was about to start taking action, how come my junior has already gotten ahead of me?!
