You, a dragon, are farming in hell

"Ah."

Seeing that Sophia was listless and didn't want to talk, Grace prepared to leave. Before leaving, she suddenly remembered the aura she had felt last night and turned back to Sophia, saying, "Your Highness, something strange has been happening lately. At night, the dark aura in Twin Moon City seems to increase."

Therefore, Your Highness should avoid going out at night.

"Huh? I'm afraid of them?" Sophia floated up from the rocking chair, a mysterious smile on her face. "I've seen a lot in my life. A few evil spirits can't scare me."

"Any evil spirit that dares to appear before me is courting its own destruction."

"..."

Ouch...

Why do they feel that the prince in front of them is both cowardly and arrogant?

"Indeed, Your Highness can summon Nightmare Beasts, and those evil spirits should avoid Your Highness's sharp edge."

Thinking of the Nightmare Beast he had seen the night before, Dalton felt that Sophia had every right to be arrogant.

Grace and Aston also had images in their minds of the Nightmare Beast crushing the evil spirit into dust with a single hoof.

"No, why can't you only think of Nightmare Beasts? Besides Nightmare Beasts, I have other ways to deal with evil spirits."

"any solution?"

Sophia chuckled and took out a bright crystal, larger than an egg, from her spatial dragon scales.

With the appearance of the Bright Crystal, the already bright garden became even brighter.

Everyone present, except for Sophia, instinctively raised their hands to cover their eyes.

"This is... a Bright Crystal?!" Aston's pale golden eyes widened in astonishment when he saw the crystal in Sophia's hand. He had never seen such a large Bright Crystal before.

"Haha, isn't it big? I shamelessly asked Lord Distin for it."

Sophia floated in front of the group and showed them to each of them.

The people present were all on his side. They had received good things from Lord Distin, and it would be a shame not to show them off.

"Don't tell anyone. I'm only showing this to you because you're on the same side. If I'm walking at night and an evil spirit attacks me, and I suddenly take out this Bright Crystal, won't the evil spirit kneel down on the spot, crying and begging me to put it away?"

"......"

Grace, Aston, and Dalton all looked on with envy. How could they so shamelessly get such a good thing from Lord Distin?

If they were to shamelessly beg Lord Destin, would Lord Destin just casually toss them some 'trash' that He doesn't even want?

The idea flashed through the minds of all three simultaneously.

However, the three of them only dared to think about it, and did not dare to actually do it.

"Lord Distin has been really good to me. I showed you the Bright Crystal not only because I had a little bit of a desire to show off, but also because I wanted to tell you that I wanted to repay Lord Distin."

At this point, Sophia put away the Bright Crystal and sighed, "But with my current abilities, I don't have anything good to offer in return for Lord Distin."

"How about... Your Highness repays me with your body?" Grace teased Sophia with a smile.

"?!"

Sophia looked at Grace and said seriously, "My offering myself to her is repaying kindness with enmity."

Therefore, I've decided to become Queen! Only by becoming Queen can I better repay Lord Destin!

Chapter 96 What if I cultivate myself into a zombie?

To...to be the queen?!

Princess Sofia wants to be queen?!

Aston, Grace, and Dalton looked at each other, and for a long time no one dared to speak.

Before their injuries, Aston and Grace had both lived in the capital. There were only two candidates for the next king of the kingdom.

Princess Irene and Prince Victor.

As for the Third Princess Sophia... to be honest, before coming to the North, the two of them had only heard of her name and had never paid any attention to her.

The Fairy Tale Mercenaries paid attention to Princess Irene and Prince Victor, but not Sophia.

Not only their Fairy Tale Mercenary Group, but the other nine mercenary groups also focused their attention on the eldest princess and the second prince. As for the third princess, Princess Sophia, no large mercenary group paid any attention to her.

With short brown hair, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, Dalton looked thoughtful. He had lived in the capital and had heard people talk about the next king.

Princess Sophia was not among the two chosen.

Princess Sophia now wants to become queen, and besides doing everything she can to prove that she is better than the eldest princess Irene and the second prince Victor, there is another way.

Assassination.

Eliminate Princess Irene and Prince Victor.

"Your Highness, I understand what you mean."

"Mr. Dalton, do you understand what I mean?"

Sophia was overjoyed. She had just made her intentions clear: only when those who follow you know your aspirations will they have cohesion and become your support.

“Hmm.” Dalton looked at Sophia and said in a deep voice, “I entrust Lyra to you, Your Highness. I will go and take care of your rival.”

"???"

Eliminate my competitors?

Isn't this just killing off the stinky Queen Irene and her brother Victor?!

Sophia was startled and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that! I told you I wanted to be queen to declare my ambition! To let you know my aspirations, not to imply that any of you should kill my sister or brother!"

I'm not that dark!

I swear, I have no such thought now and I will never have such a thought in the future. If I do have such a thought, may my soul be condemned to eternal hell!

I will defeat my elder sister Irene and elder brother Victor head-on, fair and square, through sheer strength.

Dalton stared at Sophia for a while, then suddenly laughed. He had been too suspicious. The princess in front of him didn't have that kind of scheming, and probably didn't even think that he could achieve a certain goal through hints.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I misunderstood you."

"Mr. Dalton, you should spend more time in the sun to drive away the evil in your heart. Let the sunlight purify your soul."

"We definitely need to get more sun."

Dalton smiled and accepted Sophia's suggestion.

Sophia was terrified; she had never imagined killing Eileen and Victor.

Even if she becomes queen, she won't kill Eileen and Victor. She still wants them to help her govern the kingdom and serve as her subjects.

Aston and Grace glanced at Dalton, the guy with the thick eyebrows and big eyes, who was saying that on purpose.

He wanted to see if the princess in front of him was the kind of scheming and ruthless girl.

They both saw Sophia's subconscious reaction just now; her expression of initial shock followed by surprise was genuine.

Seeing Sophia's reaction and hearing her conversation with Dalton, Aston and Grace breathed a sigh of relief.

They both disliked people who were scheming and ruthless.

I don't want to deal with people like that.

However, Princess Sophia's last words made them both want to laugh.

Let Dalton get more sun...

No matter how much sunshine a person with a dark mind basks in, they will never become truly sunny.

"Aston, Grace, you two mustn't follow Dalton's example."

"No, no, neither of us are as shady as Dalton."

Dalton scratched his head awkwardly.

Grace is a pretty bad girl.

Aston, Grace, and Dalton left, and Sophia invited them to come over that evening, instructing them not to call her 'Your Highness' that night.

Just call her "sir".

After watching the three leave, Sophia lay down on the rocking chair, gave Anna some gold coins, and asked Anna to buy a cured cow and some honey.

Lady Testin is going to roast beef with honey tonight; she's in for a treat.

Oh right, and flour too.

Does Lord Distin intend to make bread with flour?

Should we prepare some eggs for Lord Distin?

Bring some with you.

Prepare a few sets of cutlery as well.

Sophia said, "Anna, please take notes." After Sophia had finished speaking, Anna closed her notebook, turned around, and left.

Head maid Emily brought some desserts to the garden.

"Your Highness, would you like some dessert?"

"Ah."

Sophia picked up a dessert and put it in her mouth. With nothing else to do, she thought about asking Emily to call the Minister of Works over, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

There's not much money in the treasury right now, so let's put the renovation of Twin Moon City on hold for now.

Also, the matter of reopening a trade route to the Flower Language Plain will have to be postponed.

When we have the money, we should first repair the roads connecting Shuangyue City to the various towns and villages.

This will also make it easier for the army to be stationed in towns and villages after winter sets in.

Once winter arrives in the North and it snows, goblins hiding in the mountains will come down in droves if they have nothing to eat, raiding villages and plundering villagers.

Having troops stationed there can prevent this from happening.

Perhaps... we could issue a few bounty notices first?

Send adventurers and mercenary groups to hunt down some goblins?

Sofia took out a notebook and started writing and drawing in it.

Thinking of the army, Sophia thought of the stamina potion she had mentioned earlier.

It's not enough to just think about getting Distin to solve her problems; it's more important to have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with a learned dragon like Distin and to learn as much as possible from Lord Distin.

Wait a minute, it seems like she's always been studying.

She hadn't finished reading "The Eye of the Dead" yet. Human experience is limited, and time is limited when one is a ghost...

Sophia poked her cheek with the pen, thought for a moment, and wrote a line in her notebook: Learn to concoct potions from Lord Dragon Diding.

Reading books and learning how to prepare medicines.

Let's accomplish these two small goals first.

After having lunch and dinner, Sofia went back to her bedroom to rest.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, she floated to the garden, took out the book "The Eye of the Dead" and started reading it. She was still reading the zombie chapter, learning the cultivation methods of zombies in the illusion.

Zombies need to be resilient, so defense is very important. The way to improve defense is simple: hone your zombie body and make it as tough as iron.

After suffering greatly in the illusion, Sophia suddenly thought of something after leaving the illusion: could living people cultivate the body-refining methods of zombies?

If living people can cultivate, could she promote the zombie body-refining technique she learned in the army?

Or... should I try cultivating it myself first?

What if I accidentally turn myself into a zombie?

Chapter 97 The Little Demon Who Fell into the Devil's Flower Mouth

Zombie Body Refining Technique is a cultivation method for zombies. If a living person were to cultivate it, someone would definitely have to test it on themselves first.

Are you asking soldiers in the military to break the law?

What if she develops problems during training and turns herself into a zombie? How would she explain that to the soldiers' families?
