The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 258 - 244: The Seven Great Empires’ Plan (Part 2)

"Cleia... Oh, she is indeed the Princess of the Light Empire, but wasn’t her brother the one who inherited the throne? She should be the Eldest Princess now."

Upon hearing Cleia’s name from Helena’s mouth, Lynn knew he had to make this trip. Although Cleia wasn’t particularly close to him at the moment, once a rapport was established, he found it difficult to let go.

Such a wonderful woman—it’s a pity to give her to someone else. It’s better I bear it silently myself.

"In fact, most of those going are Eldest Princesses, because five of the Empires have young new Emperors. The Giant Dragon Empire is the exception; they’re sending the Dragon Emperor’s granddaughter, who isn’t actually a Princess."

Helena shared the intelligence she had gathered with Lynn, but among these seven Princesses, apart from Cleia, it seemed he had no connection with the others.

"The Dragon Emperor’s granddaughter... is that the Red Dragon named Eve?"

Helena was a bit surprised when Lynn mentioned a dragon’s name, which indeed had been appointed by the Dragon Emperor to go. Evidently, Lynn knew her too.

"Yes, her. She’s called the most beautiful jewel of the Dragon Race. If she weren’t still a minor, those proposing marriage could probably fill Dragon Valley."

Speaking of Eve, Helena had heard plenty, starting from childhood. After all, comparing the ages of the Dragon Race and Human Race, her twenty years of life were equivalent to Eve growing by only one year.

"Sending a minor dragon to the battlefield, really, that’s just inhumane! Wait, they’re not humans anyway, really, that’s just indrahgon!"

Lynn sneered and inwardly despised that old Dragon Emperor. If throwing a stake, it should be one he could deal with—why give him a minor to be titled?

"Actually, it’s almost the same. Eve will be an adult next year, precisely speaking, in seven months. It shouldn’t affect you much, right? You don’t lack women around; raising a beautiful young dragon for seven months isn’t a big deal."

Helena was familiar with details about Eve, even knowing she’d become an adult in seven months.

Besides, what are seven months to a giant dragon? It’s just like being 17.99 years old in Human Race terms. Even if one must interact, it’s not impossible...

"But... I used to feed it, always treating it like a cute pet."

That brought up Lynn’s past travels in the Giant Dragon Empire.

Back then, his strength was far less formidable than now, but he was already a renowned figure in the "Miracle" game, an elite player.

The first time meeting Eve... all the way to the last, she was always in dragon form. The reason for their connection was that she was a part of a moderately rewarding side quest. The specific task was to help her detox and care for her for three days until she recovered from weakness.

In those days, Lynn seemed to be the only player who completed this side quest, partly due to its modest rewards and partly due to the time it required.

Initially, some hoped to trigger hidden tasks or rewards by playing this quest, but when Lynn was the first to complete it and indeed received only meager rewards, others swiftly abandoned this insignificant side quest.

Even Lynn was almost shouting curses when he completed the quest, as he was also hoping for hidden rewards, but after grinding for three days, his gains barely covered the cost of the super antidote.

Ultimately, he felt exploited, working for negligible reward, and in anger, he vented!

What else could he do? Post angrily on game forums against the game developers?

He did, and then got silenced...

To this day, thinking about his encounters with Eve and the seemingly wasted three days still gives Lynn a slight liver pain.

If it weren’t for Eve’s plump, round, endearing look in her dragon form, making her very cuddly, Lynn probably wouldn’t have just let it go because of being silenced.

Just consider it raising a cute pet for three days.

Yet after years apart, hearing Eve’s name again was on a list of potential harem prepared by outsiders. This truly is destiny’s work.

"Turns out Lord Lynn had another dragon before Natasha! No way! I must mess with Natasha, bring her back to claw you!"

Helena exaggeratedly accused Lynn loudly, but her actions were genuine; she did take out the Communication Stone, ready to text the super beautiful dragon.

"Natasha wouldn’t dare to scratch me. If you call her back, the end result would be her holding down your hands and feet, letting me bully you..."

Based on Natasha’s character, Lynn made the most realistic guess. Helena thought it over and found Lynn was indeed correct, but her hands didn’t stop; she continued preparing to summon Natasha back.

So, after three minutes.

"Ta-da! Natasha makes a sparkling appearance! Let me see where Lord Lynn’s young dragon lies."

Natasha, clad in fiery red armor, looked like a female general about to go to war. Lynn knew she was purposely cosplaying Eve, appointed as the leading marshal by the Giant Dragon Empire. Though Natasha, being a Molten Giant Dragon like Red Dragon Eve, differed significantly in appearance and temperament, making the cosplay likely off.

What’s there to say? Lynn has never seen Eve’s human form; how could he know what Eve looks like now?

"What young dragon? She’ll be an adult next year; for the Dragon Race, seven months are like nothing. She should be called a beautiful young dragon!"

Lynn corrected Natasha’s mistake; Eve might be a minor dragon, but she wasn’t a young one.

"She’s not old enough to lay eggs. Lynn, if you can’t resist, watch out for the Dragon Race’s law enforcement taking you away!"

Natasha threatened with claws and teeth, as if to scare Lynn into trembling.

But given Lynn’s strength, even if he did succumb to Eve within the next seven months, the Dragon Race law enforcement likely wouldn’t act. If they did, it would only be to deliver themselves as fodder—they couldn’t really apprehend Lynn!

"I’m not going to lay eggs with her! It’s just that there’s an acquaintance between friends and dragons in this bait; I might truly get hooked."

Lynn thought to sigh, but felt it too fake, ultimately only lamenting in one sentence.

"What’s the big deal? With your power and prestige, just have them cancel the plan and not wage war on the Demon King Army, can’t they? Would they dare refute you, forcibly deploying troops?"

Natasha casually remarked, thinking Lynn was above all others, that everyone must heed his words. So, wasn’t the maneuver of the Seven Great Empires insignificant? Simply dissociate them and it resolves.

"No, because of their warnings, I also have the idea of clearing out a group of the Demon Race, conveniently handling it now to avoid future troubles."

For Natasha’s suggestion to dissolve the threat, Lynn didn’t agree as he had his own reasoning.

Currently, the Demon Realm is mixed with chaos, including the original lineup from the Seven Great Demon Kings, support from the Guardian Demon God faction, Abyssal Demon clan willing to surrender, and on-field defeated or captured ones.

Among them, those originally believing in the Guardian Demon God are not mentioned, but among the surrendering ones and Purgatory Demon captives, a large portion has their hands stained with immense blood debts, particularly the Abyssal Demon part stained with the blood of Miracle World casualties.

They committed all sorts of evil and slaughter, if just because they surrendered they were forgiven; it’d be extremely unfair to the warriors and people who died in invasions or wars of destruction across the Great Worlds.

Lynn may not be an extremist justice partner but deeply resents invaders, no matter the excuse; invasion is unpardonable, especially where the Demon Race justified invasions with massacre and annihilation.

With the Celestial Destiny Empire counted in, this union of the Eight Great Empires forming an alliance to quell the Demon King Army isn’t meant to target his Demon King wife’s faction, but rather to deploy all deserving demons to the front lines of Miracle World, heroically, he the Guardian of Miracle World, the Miracle Saint Emperor Lord Lynn, will obliterate them!
