The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 62 Subjugation and Beginning

Azura slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky. When she got up, she saw that Woolf was still guarding outside the tent. Remembering her conversation with Kahn the day before, she went straight to the point and asked him if he was willing to pledge his allegiance to her.

Faced with such a sudden and significant question of which side to take, even Woolf was momentarily stunned.

But after realizing what he had done, he agreed without hesitation.

Although in some ways he had no choice, this does not mean he was forced to join; on the contrary, he had been waiting for this moment for far too long.

Just as Kahn had predicted, being threatened by Azura on one hand and fearing being found out by Aozara on the other, he had been tormented by the pressure from both sides for years.

Now that he has fully committed to Azura's side, he no longer has to worry about threats from her side. With the pressure greatly reduced, those black marks that used to blackmail him have even turned into his merits, which is double the happiness.

Moreover, having served in the palace for many years, he was quite familiar with Azura's situation and knew that Aozura favored her. It was precisely because of this that he was completely under Azura's control.

Both he and Azura made mistakes, but if it were exposed, Azura would at most be locked up for a few days, while he would not only face imprisonment, but might even lose his life!

How the hell do you even play this?!

Of course, that's no longer a problem.

As long as Azura doesn't make any major mistakes, their future is absolutely guaranteed. Just thinking about being able to rise to prominence with Azura in the future made all the past hardships and frustrations disappear completely, and he felt refreshed.

When he learned that it was Kahn who had suggested it, Azura suddenly wanted to recruit him, he was quite surprised and his impression of Kahn changed slightly.

Kahn, as Prince Elor's disciple, betrayed him and instead joined Azura's forces, and was even sent by His Majesty the Arrogant to carry out this mission. They didn't say it outwardly, but inwardly they despised Kahn.

Although he may not seem to have the right to say such things now, Aozai and Azura are, after all, father and daughter from the same faction, so the situation is obviously different.

However, from their interactions over the past few days, he could tell that the relationship between Kahn and Princess Azura was far more than just a simple subordinate relationship.

Although he didn't know the reason, now that he had chosen to pledge allegiance to Azura, he and Kahn had become colleagues, and he had to change his original views and attitudes.

So he asked Azura:

"Your Highness, how should I deal with Kahn?"

Azura considered for a moment and said:

"If anything happens while I'm not around, follow his orders. Otherwise, just keep things as they are."

"If he does anything unusual... well, let's just leave it at that. We don't need to pay any attention to him normally."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and warned him meaningfully:

"Furthermore, what if Kahn finds out about our conversation?"

"Yes, I understand!"

Woolf readily agreed, but a growing sense of unease crept into her heart.

No matter how you look at it, Kahn doesn't seem like a simple subordinate at all. He's been given so much power that he's practically the second-in-command.

Recalling how the two of them had chatted and laughed along the way, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Kahn and His Highness Azura are not far apart in age, and both are indeed handsome. Could it be that...?

!!!

He dared not let his thoughts wander any further, but his impression of Kahn underwent a subtle change.

Azura didn't care about Woolf's thoughts. After resolving the matter, she stretched and walked outside, preparing to meet up with Kahn.

Seemingly remembering something, she turned to Woolf and instructed her:

"Notify the Imperial Guards to assemble and prepare for the mission."

"This desolate wilderness is really boring. Let's finish the mission as soon as possible and go back."

"Your Highness, are you prepared to personally lead the army to search?"

Benson felt a headache coming on after hearing Azura's words.

They were doing just fine yesterday, so why are they suddenly so proactive today?

While being positive is a good thing, he would prefer Azura to remain as she was yesterday, at least that way she wouldn't cause them any unnecessary trouble.

So he carefully considered his words and cautiously offered his advice:

"Your Highness's bravery is admirable, and we admire it greatly. However, the enemy is extremely fierce, what if..."

Do you think I'm asking for your opinion?

Azura had no interest in listening to that nonsense and interrupted him rudely, sneering:

"I'm just giving you orders. There's only one thing you need to do: tell the soldiers to clear the way, or find someone who understands human speech to carry out my orders."

"I don't think it's difficult, what do you think?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Benson had no choice but to comply, even though he was humiliated in every way. He still had to temporarily spare some troops to follow behind them, ready to provide assistance to Azura's team at any time.

As a princess, if anything were to happen to Azura, even several lives wouldn't be enough to compensate for it.

After Azura and Kahn led the Royal Guard out of the camp, Kahn finally started talking to Azura.

He joked:

"They say even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. If you offend a bunch of people every time you go out, aren't you afraid someone will try to trip you up?"

Azura dismissed it, saying:

"If someone goes against me, the one who should be afraid is the other side. Besides, I don't think some idiots can cause me any trouble."

"So, was that what you thought when we had our first competition?"

"Shut up!"

Azura was furious and embarrassed. She was defeated by Kahn, who was much weaker than her at the time, in that match, which can be said to be one of her most memorable dark histories.

Of course, this is not the only reason why it is so memorable.

Woolf, standing behind, silently observed the two laughing and joking. Before, she had only thought that the two had a good relationship, but now it seemed to have a different meaning.

After some time, they finally approached their destination, and the Imperial Guards had already discovered the enemy's tracks.

Woolf was surprised and puzzled as to how Azura knew the enemy's hiding place when, at that moment, Azura suddenly gave an order to the Royal Guard:

"Prepare for battle. Also, I want them all captured alive; don't let me see a single one of them die."

"But Your Majesty the Arrogant One."

Woolf instinctively wanted to remind Azura of Aozah's order, but suddenly realized her current identity and quickly changed her mind.

"Yes, sir!"

As for the order to capture them alive, they, as the most elite imperial guards of the Fire Blaze Kingdom, were quite confident in their own abilities.

Then, Azura waved her hand and gave the order:

"All troops, attack!"

With this, the plan officially began.
