While Jessica was enjoying the fruits of her victory.

In the heart of the empire, an overwhelming horde of black dragons, accompanied by dragon-shaped magic ships and the Holy Dragon Knights, descended upon yet another city.

"Everyone lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. In the name of the First Princess of the Royal Family of Loreiamon, I promise that all who surrender will be treated as civilians of the Knight Kingdom, and all who resist will be executed!"

Veronica's hearty voice rang out over the loudspeaker on the magic ship, amplified by a spell that resounded throughout the entire city.

This has caused panic among many people!

The most panicked were the city's mayor and nobles.

Because they had just received the border secrets and knew that the empire was defending its borders to the death, the enemy had already advanced to this place just as they were about to mobilize their troops.

If this place falls, the enemy will be able to bypass the territories of the two dukes and march straight for the capital!

Surrendering would at least guarantee one's life, a guarantee that border city nobles had earned with their lives.

But if they surrender now, and the empire counterattacks later, those who are the first to surrender will definitely be executed!

But if they don't surrender now, their heads might be hanging on the city walls later!

While the mayor and nobles hesitated, the impatient Veronica ordered the evil dragon army to destroy all the city's defenses, forcing them to make a choice.

Not long after Veronica occupied the city, the Imperial fleet surrounded it from both sides like cheese sandwiches.

Those are the air fleets of the Empire's two great dukes!

They deliberately used this inland fortress of the empire as bait to lure Veronica into a trap, intending to take the opportunity to annihilate her and her enemies here!

If the Knights Kingdom hadn't been so eager for 80% of its dragon knights to follow Veronica, things might indeed have turned out as the two dukes of the Empire had hoped.

But unfortunately not if.

Although the two dukes' fleets initially inflicted heavy losses on Veronica's forces, wiping out a quarter of the evil dragon army.

However, with the help of the Holy Dragon Knights who followed closely behind from the Knight Kingdom, the two dukes had no choice but to flee in disarray.

Veronica chose only one side to pursue, leading her people directly to the enemy's lair. She then consumed half of the remaining forces of the Evil Dragon Army, completely destroying the city's buildings with a self-destructive bombing attack!

Two days later, he dragged the man out of his lair like a dead dog and beheaded him with his sword!

This news terrified another imperial duke who was besieging Veronica, causing him to lead his troops to flee to the capital overnight, hoping to use the capital's military strength to save his life.

The news that she had led her troops on a rapid advance and occupied one-third of the empire's territory within a week spread throughout the entire continent.

There are those who approve of Veronica's actions, and naturally, there are those who condemn her.

But without exception, they all trembled at the sight of the First Princess of Loreiamon and were awestruck by the power of the Knights Kingdom.

While the empire concentrated its forces in the capital, it also sent people to other countries to seek help, and used Veronica's brutal act of beheading the duke to make a big fuss about it in various countries.

It's a pity that the blonde Valkyrie doesn't care about her reputation; she just wants to instill fear in her enemies!

The empire's plea for help was naturally answered.

The Kingdom of Sheplon and the Theocracy of Espada condemned the Knights Kingdom's actions, stating that if the Knights Kingdom was unwilling to negotiate with the Empire, the two countries would gather their armies to aid the Empire.

While the Loflock Industrial and Commercial City Union publicly stated that the Knights Kingdom's war was wrong, it was secretly gradually raising the prices of goods dumped on the Empire.

The reactions from various countries immediately made the Knights Kingdom the target of criticism across the entire continent, causing widespread panic within the kingdom.

But because Veronica refused to negotiate, she was given the title of the mad war princess!

Inside the Knight King's Palace, Sylvia looked at the list of names on the table, her face full of headache.

Mirabelle, on the other hand, sat on the sofa to the side, leisurely drinking tea and handling her own affairs.

Because former King Odeon couldn't bear the hardship of handling state affairs all day, he secretly ran away from the palace the day before yesterday. According to Sylvia's information, he used his friendship with former officials to run away to the countryside to avoid state affairs.

This made Sylvia give up on the idea of ​​bringing the other person back.

On the sofa in front of the King's desk, Mordred sat in Bai Zhe's lap, while Jessica, who was being pampered, sat to his left with loving eyes, holding Bai Zhe's arm.

Prinz sat to his right, her attention completely focused on the game, so much so that she didn't even notice her enormous slimes resting on the Demon King's arm.

The Abdulnia sisters and Cosette sat opposite Bai Zhe, the three of them mingling as they pondered their next move.

A short while later, Cassandra hurriedly entered, carrying a letter. Behind her followed a more mature purple-haired maid, Biprinn Rose, who was her cousin.

Initially, she only worked in the palace and could command most of the maids in the court. However, after the previous king abdicated, she caught Cassandra's eye and was taken in by her side because of her strict personality and outstanding abilities.

Seeing Cassandra burst in looking flustered, Sylvia immediately sat up straight and asked curiously, "What happened, Sister Wang? Why are you in such a panic?"

Upon hearing this, Cassandra placed the letter in her hand directly in front of Sylvia.

“It was the third prince of Sheplon who had conspired with me before. She asked me to go to the border between the two countries, saying that she wanted to discuss important matters concerning the throne of the two kings and the knight king, and hoped that I would go there as soon as possible.”

As the black-haired princess finished speaking, Mirabelle stopped what she was doing, looked up, and calmly said, "It seems that some fools have appeared in the country because of the criticism from the mainland!"

In her view, the victory of the Knights Kingdom was inevitable, because in addition to their own Holy Dragon Knights, which were more mobile than magic ships, they also had Bai Zhe's support.

If the other side can turn three thousand people into evil dragons in such a short time, then it proves that they can turn even more people into effective fighting force! Donkey!

Therefore, when things go wrong, all that is needed is to gather all the prisoners of war from other countries together and have Bai Zhe turn them into evil dragons, which can instantly change the course of the war.

This is because, as the first princess of Loreiamon, she wanted to personally conquer this continent as a gift to her lover due to matters of the heart, and therefore did not allow Bai Zhe to do it himself!

Otherwise, according to Veronica, the opponent's powerful force, capable of evaporating a mountain range in a single blow, is unstoppable on this continent!

As Sylvia read the letter Cassandra had placed on the table, Mirabelle, with her silver hair and a beret adorned with feathers, spoke.

"The third prince of Sheplon, the one who conspired with you before?"

Upon hearing this, Cassandra nodded naturally and then said, "It's him. In the letter, he told me to go to the border city between the Kingdom and the Knights Kingdom. He said he could take me away from the Knights Kingdom and help me ascend the throne after my elder sister is attacked by the allied forces."

As Cassandra finished speaking, Mirabelle revealed a disdainful smile.

"That third prince of Sheplon not only coveted your beauty, but also wanted to use your status to seize the Kingdom of Knights. That man probably devised his plan while you were studying in the Kingdom of Sheplon."

"This is what happens when people take advantage of each other, Cassandra; it seems you can also misjudge people."

Despite Mirabelle's mockery, Cassandra, who had always wanted to antagonize her, accepted it all this time.

After all, humans are creatures that seek advantage and avoid harm. Now that the Knight Kingdom is thriving with Bai Zhe's help, she has no intention of helping the heirs of other countries!

But at the time, she didn't know that Bai Zhe would rule the Loreiamon family. She was focused on seizing the throne of the Knight Kingdom, which is why she allied with him. Just as he wanted to use her, she also wanted to use his position and power in Sheplon.

Cassandra felt a pang of regret when she thought about the troublesome network of relationships she had created in the past.

"Tsk, if I had known, I wouldn't have had so much contact with this troublesome man when I was studying abroad."

"Forget it, I might as well not reply to your messages."

As she spoke, Cassandra snatched the letter from Sylvia's hand. Just as she was about to tear the letter to pieces to show her determination, Bai Zhe, who was playing chess with Abdunia and the other two, spoke up.

"Grant his request."

"Eh?"

Facing Cassandra's questioning gaze, Bai Zhe spoke again after defeating Abdunia: "Isn't the fact that a prince from another country secretly infiltrated the Knight Kingdom to conduct harmful experiments and carry out secret killings a perfect excuse for the Knight Kingdom to declare war on Sheplon?"

As Bai Zhe finished speaking, Mirabelle, who was standing to the side, spoke up.

"That's terrible, brother-in-law. Are you trying to use the city's civilians as an excuse?"

"How could that be? Although they are civilians from some idiot's territory, they are still Sylvia's people. How could I waste their lives innocently?"

"The so-called excuse is just an excuse. After the war starts and the Sheplon royal family is wiped out, who will investigate whether this prince really killed someone in the Knight Kingdom?"

Cassandra nodded in agreement with Bai Zhe's words.

"I agree with this plan."

Upon hearing that Bai Zhe would not casually use the lives of civilians from the Knight Kingdom as a pretext for starting a war, Sylvia nodded in agreement.

Mirabelle, upon hearing this, slowly spoke up: "However, with the current military strength of the Knights Kingdom, if it were to wage war on two fronts against the Empire and the Kingdom, it might be difficult to cope."

"Or are you going to create another batch of evil dragons, brother-in-law? You know, my older sister said you're not allowed to do it yourself."

Mirabelle's concerns were not unfounded. With Bai Zhe unable to personally participate in the war due to his agreement with Veronica, the Knights Kingdom was not afraid of a blitzkrieg, but it was very afraid of being drawn out into a protracted war!

However, Bai Zhe already had a way to exploit the loophole.

"I won't take action myself, but that doesn't mean no one can take my place."

"I will make Mordred my agent, and when she is the Dark Dragon King, the kingdom's soldiers will only turn to ashes under her flames."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed understanding, and Mirabelle's long-standing doubts about Mordred being a humanoid dragon were resolved at this moment.

"Miss Mordred is actually the legendary Dark Dragon King? I see, so that's why you dote on her so much, brother-in-law."

"If it is the power of the legendary Dark Dragon King, she alone is indeed worth an army."

Then Bai Zhe looked at Cassandra and said, "Then it's decided. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I will go with you."

"My pleasure."

The black-haired princess naturally wouldn't refuse Bai Zhe's invitation, as his formidable strength gave her a strong sense of security.

This is a princess who has longed for the throne since childhood, and desperately needs it!

That evening, Rebecca, who had come to the palace, volunteered to participate after hearing about Bai Zhe's plan.

So on the second night, Bai Zhe, Cassandra, Mordred, Anya, and Rebecca quietly left the palace.

The five of them rode Rebecca's Holy Dragon-Kufflin and, after half the night had passed, finally arrived at the place agreed upon by the Third Prince of Sheplon: the home of a marquis on the border of a knightly kingdom.

The Marquis was surprised by the arrival of Rebecca, the daughter of the Grand Duke.

Unexpectedly, the second princess Cassandra was able to win over even the most famous Heavenly Dragon Paladin of the Knight Kingdom.

However, the Marquis also became wary of Rebecca's identity.

As for Bai Zhe, although the Demon King's identity in the Knight Kingdom is the King's Consort, he has only appeared in Ansari State. He did not even appear at the audience ceremony after Sylvia ascended the throne, so few people recognized him.

Although descriptions of his appearance circulated among the nobility, marquises who had never seen him would not immediately recall his identity.

After all, in most people's minds, how could he, as the first princess's husband, be by the second princess's side!

It's worth noting that when Sylvia ascended the throne, Veronica personally imprisoned the second and third princesses in a detached palace, leading to rumors among some nobles that the three princesses were at odds.

There will always be fools in the world who believe in things that haven't been proven, and this Marquis of the Border just happens to be one of them, otherwise he wouldn't have secretly colluded with the third prince of Sheplon.

Upon arriving on the ground, Cassandra observed her surroundings and then, in her capacity as a princess, bluntly questioned the Marquis.

Where is Uriel?

"Please follow me, Your Highness. Please wait here."

Although Bai Zhe and his three companions came with Cassandra, the Marquis, distrusting the four, only took Cassandra and Anya, who was dressed as a maid, to the secret chamber.

Shortly after the three left, a pair of soldiers arrived and attacked the remaining three, but were quickly defeated by Rebecca using the power of the Holy Dragon.

Rebecca then stayed behind to suppress the remaining people, while Bai Zhe, led by Mordred, followed Cassandra's trail into the secret passage.

About ten minutes later, Cassandra met Uriel at an abandoned monastery, having passed through a secret passage.

Just as the prince was about to welcome Cassandra, a pair of burning golden eyes suddenly appeared in his line of sight.

The next second, Uriel drew his longsword from his waist and, to Cassandra's horrified gaze, beheaded the Marquis with a single stroke.

Seeing the Marquis who had been standing beside him suddenly beheaded by Uriel's sword, not only were the guards brought by the third prince of Sheplon shocked.

Even Cassandra held her breath for a moment. When she saw Uriel draw his sword, she thought the sudden strike was aimed at her, and instinctively closed her eyes.

It wasn't until warm drops of blood splattered on her face that Cassandra snapped out of her daze, opened her eyes, and noticed the Marquis who had been beheaded with a single sword stroke. Her face showed a look of horror and lingering fear.

Just then, a familiar, childlike voice rang out from behind the Black Princess; it was Mordred's voice.

"I can only control Ryuzumi, how come you can control people too? How do you do that? Tell me quickly~"

Turning around, Cassandra saw the black-haired dragon girl clinging to Bai Zhe's arm, pleading incessantly.

At the same time, the kingdom's guards who saw the two immediately drew their longswords and pointed them at the three of them with wary expressions!
