I became a dragon in hell.

Princess Sophia, the white-haired princess, has no other choice but to fight her way out.

Sophia looked up at the young White Bone Emperor. It was time to abandon her illusions and face reality. She didn't want to kill anyone, but she also didn't want to be killed.

"I understand, Your Majesty. Rest assured, I will not let you down."

"Relax, don't be nervous. It's okay if you disappoint me. If you die, I will use the pretext of avenging you to turn the North into a kingdom of the dead."

"If you live, people of the North, there is still hope for survival. If you die, the debt you owe me will be collected from the entire North."

Diding smiled as he threatened Sophia, though it wasn't entirely a threat. He said that if the white-haired princess Sophia were to die in battle, once he left Hell and came to the human world on his own merits, he would immediately turn the North into a ghost town.

Sophia shivered. Was the White Bone Emperor threatening her with the entire Northern Territory?

Threaten her so she wouldn't dare to die.

"Your Majesty... Rest assured, I will not die! Once I become the Lord of the Northern Territory, I will definitely pay the full amount! I will never delay payment!"

"Um...Your Majesty, it's very late, I'd like to rest. Would you like to sleep here tonight? Or should I escort you back?"

Sophia was trembling with fear. The White Bone Emperor was unpredictable and could not be understood using normal human reasoning.

"That's it... never mind, just take me back. Call me if you need anything."

Diding had originally planned to spend the night in the North, but his arrival was too sudden. If he stayed in the human world for too long, Caroline, Drake, Thorne, and the others might think that their [King] had abandoned them.

Go back and tell them first, so they can be mentally prepared.

"Very well." Sophia lifted her skirt, bowed to Distin, and took out a staff from her spatial ring. "Sophia, the Third Princess of the Kingdom of Roland, respectfully sees off the White Bone Emperor back..."

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

Sophia, who was about to send Distin back to hell, looked curious, wondering if the Emperor had something else to say to her.

"Settle the payment from last time."

"..."

Half an hour later, after settling the payment, Sophia sent Diding back to hell.

She also lost a spatial ring.

The White Bone Emperor said he forgot to wear his spatial ring when he came up this time, and asked her to lend him one first.

She borrowed it.

It's just a spatial ring; the White Bone Emperor shouldn't lack one. He should return it to her the next time they meet.

After seeing off the White Bone Emperor, Sophia put away her staff, sat down on the bed, and felt that the pressure on her body was not as great as before.

Anna is still in Sofia's bedroom.

She felt a pang of regret as the White Bone Emperor took four sacks of magic crystals from Princess Sophia.

There were four sacks of magic crystals, two sacks of fire elemental magic crystals, and two sacks of earth elemental magic crystals. The magic crystals varied in size and numbered in the hundreds.

Those four bags of magic crystals were spoils of war seized after the city lord Charman and those four families were arrested.

Princess Sophia said during the day that they had become rich and wouldn't have to worry about money for the time being, but unexpectedly, they became poor again in the blink of an eye.

So many magic crystals are enough to build a heavily armored cavalry force of several dozen men.

There are reasons why the Charmans and the four great families are unwilling to hand over the mineral resources they control to His Highness.

Whoever controls those mineral resources will not easily hand them over.

Those magic crystals, if sold casually, could be used to build a heavily armored army.

Charman and his men were able to support heavy armored troops and wolf riders because they controlled two crystal mines.

These two crystal mines are located in the mountains outside the city, and Princess Sophia has not yet sent anyone to take over them.

Given the current situation, they are unable to send anyone to take over.

"Your Highness, are you really going to do as the White Bone Emperor said tomorrow?"

"Well, the White Bone Emperor probably figured out my personality. He made me do that so that I wouldn't have any psychological burden in the future."

Anna thought about it and it seemed to be true.

Her Highness's nature dictates that she cannot abandon her people, but if her people voluntarily abandon her, she will not feel guilty when dealing with them in the future.

"Your Highness, there is one more thing. We don't have enough troops. If we go to war with other city lords, even with the Black Armor Army, we may not be able to win."

The other city lords also controlled mines, and they probably built their own heavily armored armies as well.

"It's alright. I will summon the Emperor as a necromancer, pay him the fee, and have him help me."

Lying in bed, Sophia had come to terms with it. The necromancer had made her feel inferior and that he had insulted her status as a princess.

She no longer thinks that way. The necromancer only gave her a power that was rejected, but that doesn't mean that power is inherently evil.

Yes, many innocent people have died from necromancy.

But that's because the person who uses necromancy is inherently a bad person.

She doesn't use necromancy to harm people, but rather to defend herself, save lives, and protect her people. Therefore, when she uses necromancy, her power is righteous!

People can be categorized as good or bad.

The forces are indiscriminate.

"Your Highness, aren't you trusting the White Bone Emperor too much? What will you do if he turns against you one day?"

Anna's face showed worry. After all, the White Bone Emperor was not a person from the human world; he was a being from hell.

Evil spirits, demons, and monsters all want to escape hell and come to the human world.

Who knows if the White Bone Emperor ever considered escaping from hell?

"Given the White Bone Emperor's status and power, if he wanted to harm me, I would be dead long ago. Besides... in our current situation, who else but the White Bone Emperor would help us?"

Anna remained silent; Princess Sophia's words made sense.

"Then Your Highness, please rest well."

"You should also get some rest tonight."

Anna nodded and turned to leave.

Silent all night.

The next day, at 10 a.m.

Under the protection of the Black Armor Army, Sophia arrived at the top floor of the Twin Moon Tower in the center of Twin Moon City. Standing in front of the magical megaphone, she tested the sound and, after confirming that the megaphone was working properly, began to speak.

"Citizens of Twin Moon City, greetings. I am Sophia Nolan, the third princess of the Kingdom of Roland, and also the lord of the North. I am also a necromancer."

Sophia's words were amplified and spread throughout Twin Moon City. In an instant, everyone in Twin Moon City stopped what they were doing and, whether sitting or standing, looked toward the location of the Twin Moon Tower.

"Old Hansen, what do you think this undead princess is up to?"

A middle-aged man with brown hair casually picked up an apple from Old Hansen's fruit stand, took a bite, leaned against the wall in front of the door, and asked the fruit shop owner, Hansen, about the location of the Twin Towers.

"How would I know? It's possible they're going to forcibly conscript militia. Oh, and that apple you ate cost a copper coin."
