Volume 2 + Chapter 95: Certain Death
Oba was plunged into confusion.
Did his father mean to kill that silver-haired dragon girl?
The head of the Cavendish family and his daughter were at the center of this incident, while the silver-haired loli was just a bystander. It had nothing to do with her.
But why was his father so obsessed with her?
“Father, I don’t understand,” Oba voiced his inner doubts, “This has nothing to do with that girl, right? What does killing an unrelated person have to do with our New Chamber of Commerce?”
“Son, let me ask you a question,” Arland said, “How many obstacles does our New Chamber of Commerce have in Corolle now?”
“Corolle is almost under the control of the New Chamber of Commerce. The only hidden danger… should be the Cavendish family. Their status is special, they have a certain influence, and are not easy to deal with directly.”
“Yes, our New Chamber of Commerce has always wanted to cooperate with the Cavendish family… However, they have always held a passive attitude, but they haven’t shown much hostility to the New Chamber of Commerce either. We didn’t take them seriously and just carried on with our own business. But in the end, the Cavendish family is not a member of our New Chamber of Commerce… If one day they want to cause trouble for us, will it become a problem?”
“Of course it will!”
“Even if we want to get rid of the Cavendish family, we have never been able to grasp a decisive excuse… After all, they have been recognized by the Royal Dragon Family in the past. Under normal circumstances, there is really no way to sanction them. Howeve, they have started to do foolish things themselves, even handing the knife to us.”
“What foolish things?”
“Son, you need to think more deeply about things, use your brain more,” Arland tapped his temple, “How many silver-haired dragons are there in our Dragon Kingdom?”
“Silver-haired dragons… Could it be?!”
Oba was very surprised.
“Father, do you mean that girl is from the Silver Dragon Famiily!? Is she the Silver Dragon Queen?”
“The Silver Dragon Queen will not leave the north.”
“Then you mean, this is the Silver Dragon Queen’s daughter, the Silver Dragon Princess?!”
Arland sighed, “I’ve already said it, think with your brain. Do you think that’s possible?”
“This… I’m not sure. We are too far from the Dragon Palace, and we don’t know much about the Royal Dragon Family.”
The people of this region in Corolle may not see the Silver Dragon Queen in their lifetime, and their understanding of her is not particularly deep.
The heavens are high and the Emperor is far away.
On the contrary, the people here have indeed seen the hero Frey.
“Do you remember, decades ago, that an incident happened? A member of the Royal Dragon Family appeared.”
“Oh! I remember,” Oba clapped his hands, “At that time, a silver-haired dragon appeared, claiming to be a member of the Royal Dragon Family, causing a sensation in many cities in the southern border. But later… there was no news?”
“Actually, there was a follow-up, but it was concealed for special reasons. That person was actually impersonating a member of the Royal Dragon Family, using an alchemical potion to temporarily change his appearance, disguising himself as a silver-haired, silver-eyed person, swindling everywhere, and obtaining a lot of money from the nobles. After being exposed, he ran away,” Arland slowly said, “That guy’s methods were very clever, and he hasn’t been caught to this day. The nobles were embarrassed and suppressed the news… Although it didn’t happen in Corolle, I learned about this information through some channels.”
“Father, are you saying… that girl is the royal impersonator from before?”
“It may not be the same person, but that’s not important. What’s important is the behavior of the Cavendish family,” Arland smiled, “They deliberately let someone impersonate the Royal Dragon Family and come to Corolle, isn’t it just to intimidate people?”
Oba frowned, “Father, is it possible that the girl is really a member of the Royal Dragon Family?”
“Impossible. If a member of the Royal Dragon Family came to Corolle, they would definitely make a grand entrance. How could they be so low-key? And, they would mix with the heir of the Cavendish family in private, for what reason? Their family has long lost the trust of the Royal Dragon Family.”
Arland couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“They did indeed gain the recognition of the Royal Dragon Family in the past, but it was not the Silver Dragon Queen, but the earlier Dragon King. They have no relationship with the Silver Dragon Queen. The most important thing is that the head of the Cavendish family was once expelled from the capital. He made a mistake and angered the Silver Dragon Queen. The Royal Dragon Family didn’t kill him, but deliberately let his daughter come here? Does the Cavendish family heir really think that the Silver Dragon Princess would be interested in her?”
Oba suddenly realized, “The Cavendish family is using the fact that we, the emerging nobles, have never seen the Silver Dragon Queen to deceive us. They deliberately let someone pretend to be the Silver Dragon Princess to emphasize their status as a traditional noble family and gain influence! Today is a deliberate show of force, and when the time is ripe, they will let the impersonator take the stage.”
“That’s right. I don’t know who gave the head of the Cavendish family such a foolish idea… But it’s normal. After all, Lucius is just a pleasure-seeking waste, with no ability at all.”
“I understand, Father, so that’s what you meant, haha!”
Oba laughed loudly.
“Daring to impersonate a member of the Royal Dragon Family is a capital crime! We can use that girl, directly kill her, and then hold the Cavendish family accountable. Execute first and report later. If the higher-ups want to investigate, it will be too late. In this way, the entire Corolle will completely belong to our New Chamber of Commerce!”
“Exactly. That’s it, Oba. You’re still clear-headed. Think more in the future, it’s good for you.”
The head of the Elvin family narrowed his eyes, picked up a small knife, inserted it into the orange, and squeezed out the orange juice.
“For the future of the New Chamber of Commerce, she must die without a doubt.”
……
A night passed.
Last night, after a secret discussion, Xia Yi accepted Lucius’s warm hospitality.
The banquet of the Cavendish family gave her a new experience. She enjoyed many southern specialties, ate and drank well, and had a beautiful sleep.
“Your Highness, good morning.” Serra entered Xia Yi’s room.
“Good morning… Serra?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, why do you have to take care of me even at your home?”
“Maybe it’s a habit, Princess. I don’t trust others to take care of you. Your cute sleeping face can’t be… um, never mind, don’t mind it.”
Serra showed a perfect maid’s smile.
This statement made Xia Yi a little confused.
……
Xia Yi changed into a new set of clothes, washed up, and together with Serra, came to the dining room.
The little princess couldn’t help but look forward to what the southern breakfast would be like.
Lucius also got up early, waiting in the dining room while reading the newspaper, and asked the servants to prepare Xia Yi’s breakfast, showing the hospitality of the host.
However, before Xia Yi could greet him, the head of the Cavendish family put down the newspaper, his face changing slightly.
“Princess, the situation in Corolle has changed…”
