Chapter 1038 -1035: A Marvel Misleads the Nation

The gift from the Red and White Rose Family was the same as always, Platinum Magic Potion and Red Dragon Water, apparently sending other gifts would not showcase the depth of the Red and White Rose Family’s heritage.

However, this year Mathew of the Red and White Roses did not come himself, only sending a letter personally penned by his sister, Marilyn Rose of Red and White.

The letter primarily contained greetings to Li Si Te and to Ach, casually revealing her admiration for Li Si Te, her coming of age, her graduation from the noble girls’ school of the Steel Ridge Kingdom, her return to the life in the Rose Duchy, and her hope to still receive Li Si Te’s blessings for her birthday next year.

In short.

This was a signal for a marriage alliance, as long as Li Si Te agreed, the Red and White Rose Family would immediately send Marilyn over to become the Queen of the Flame Kingdom. However, having absorbed the Phoenix Incarnation to extend his life span to hundreds of years, his desire for taking a wife and having children had greatly diminished.

In fact, even if he had a strong desire, he would not marry a woman he had never met.

“Paper, glass products in exchange for Platinum Magic Potion and Red Dragon Water, this friendship can continue, but next year when the Flame Kingdom is established, I’m afraid the friendship will have to break… I really am a terrifying person, sacrificing my own hues for the sake of my dragon.”

“Tsk, tsk.”

With such self-reflection in his mind, he penned a formulaic reply, revealing no warmth—perhaps out of a guilty conscience, he even hoped the Red and White Rose Family would sense his indifference and abandon the thought of this marriage alliance. In any case, he did not wish to see an innocent girl entangled in adults’ politics.

After writing the reply, he dispatched a messenger to send it.

The time had come to the last day of December, the day before the festival, and for several days, he had been holding banquets with his followers and conferring new noble titles. In this relaxed environment for advancement, a large number of knights had become nobles, and minor nobles had easily become major nobles.

Only at the stage of Earl and above, where the nobles held large titles, did the promotions become very strict.

To date, aside from the nobles who already had the title of Duke or Marquis, which they reclaimed through their battle achievements with relative ease, only Emily had been granted the title of Marquis for her success in dragon riding. As for Dukes, there was still only Piero·Grey Iron, the noble who brought his own title—although Li Si Te intended for his own father to be promoted to Duke.

But the promotion ceremony would take place after the founding of the nation, and for now, Li Weiliam remained a Marquis.

There were also seven powerful mermaids who had helped him govern the seas; in the future, they too would gradually be granted the title of Duke.

They were originally kings of the great seas, and on land, their status was at least equivalent to that of a Grand Duke. However, the kingdoms in the sea had long crumbled, and the task of purifying the Devil’s Sea fell solely to Ach. Therefore, the title of Duke was the highest Li Si Te was willing to give to the mermaids.

“In the future, I can set a precedent in the Flame Kingdom, the limit for Sky Knights is Marquis, but as soon as they break through the ultimate shackles and become Domain Knights, they can continue to be promoted to Duke… That way, followers like Dimaria Yuhua Stone will have even more incentive to work hard.”

For most nobles, becoming a Marquis is the greatest goal in life, as very few non-Dragon Rearing Families can be promoted to Duke. Once they become Marquises, these major nobles lose their drive.

“As for Dragon Knights, it would be difficult for new Dragon Rearing Families to emerge under my rule,” Li Si Te, riding the Formless Dragon Bard, flew slowly through the sky, “because all dragons that can be discovered will ultimately become my dragons, refusing anyone else’s touch.”

He still remembered the scenes he witnessed when he activated the Time Scepter, although that was only a possible future. However, what the future Ach had said, he remembered deeply—Ach told him it was best to ride all dragons, and also told him about the Immortal Dragon in the Exiled Lands.

“Elves are shared among all, but dragons must belong to me.”

…

At this moment,

Liszt stood atop the peak of Moon Slayer Sacred Mountain, gazing at the ongoing vigorous construction of what would become the future Royal Palace, his heart swelled with pride—this was the realm he had fought to establish.

“After consulting Ach, Emily, my father, and others, the once sacred mountain of the Moon Slayers finally had a new name. The range of mountains on the left was called Moon Mountain, the range on the right Sun Mountain, and the valley between them was named Sun Moon Valley. As for the palace that stood between Moon Mountain and Sun Mountain, it was named the Sun Moon Star Palace.”

Heaven and earth vast and vague, the universe so ancient and primeval.

Sun and moon full and bright, stars and constellations all arrayed.

The name of the Sun Moon Star Palace meant to encompass the universe, while Sun Mountain and Moon Mountain were meant to “inherit” the glory of the ancient Moon Empire and Sun Empire—every nation liked to claim they were the direct successors, flaunting their inheritance from ancient civilizations.

Liszt simply swept them all into the net, inheriting not only the Moon Empire but also the Sun Empire!

Furthermore, many nations enjoyed naming their king’s castles, palaces, and surnames after dragons—Steel Ridge Kingdom’s palace was called the White Gold Tooth Palace, inspired by the Platinum Dragon; Eagle Kingdom’s palace was named Iron Dragon Chain Palace, from the White Maw Iron Dragon; Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom’s palace was called the Golden Supreme Palace, after the Golden Dragon.

The founders of these royal families were likely the Platinum Dragon Knights, White Maw Iron Dragon Knights, Golden Dragon Knights; thus, the palaces commemorated this.

But Liszt had too many dragons, and he was a Dragon Knight to each one; using any single dragon as a namesake felt too narrow, incapable of being evenly distributed.

He had adopted Flame as his surname, nation’s name, and king’s castle, vowing the status of Fire Dragon Leo—this could still be explained by the first Dragon Riding experience. If he continued to name anything after any other dragon, it would cause dissatisfaction among the rest—being a Dragon Knight to many dragons, he had to balance it well.

His heart was weary, almost longing to quickly train a group of Dragon Knights to share the burden.

“The construction of the Sun Moon Star Palace is one-third complete, and in another half year, the main structure should be finished, and then it will be ready to inhabit. After the main body is done, what remains will be composed of wonders, which will require the cooperation of Archmages, and there’s no rush for now; it’s best left to Ach to handle.”

Women, they all like to design their own house’s decorating style—Liszt decisively left the palace’s wonder style for Ach to play with.

Not to mention, Ach truly had a keen interest in this area and had already been taking the time to design various styles of wonders.

Some ideas even astonished Liszt, such as the Flying Moat, Vertical Lift, Miniature Magic Gate, Aerial Floating Park, Man-made Sun, Moon and Stars, Crystal Rainbow Canopy, Proportional Dragon Sculpture, Eternal Torch, Endless Rain Cloud… She intended to turn the Sun Moon Star Palace into a dwelling fit for gods.

“Don’t make things too luxurious, Ach, we should save where we can, after all, we have a large family business and many dragons to feed.”

Ach playfully stuck out her little tongue, “Don’t worry, brother, Ach is just using the Sun Moon Star Palace as a laboratory to test some of the more challenging magic technology problems, heehee.”

Liszt was left with only a smile.

Then, he vigorously tousled Ach’s blue tresses—whatever it was, he had it wrapped around his finger!
