Chapter 822 -462: Becoming the Puppet Emperor Supported by the Major Temples of Farolan?_2
“Ah? Enter into a Dragon Knight contract with me?”
The Young Dragon was stunned; she had never considered contracting any Pureblood Dragons, and somehow, probably from spending too much time with Lance, she even disliked the idea of Pureblood Dragons becoming mounts for humans.
She had never thought about forming a Dragon Knight contract with any Pureblood Dragon either.

Before she transformed into an Amethyst Young Dragon, she used to fantasize about herself being a Dragon Knight.
“Yes, I voluntarily wish to establish a Dragon Knight contract with Lady Lucia.”
Hero Leon and Evelyn displayed looks of envy; they had dreamt of forming a contract with a Pureblood Dragon, unfortunately… even the comparatively less powerful Green Dragons from the Dragon Clan didn’t consider them worthy of such a contract.
At this moment, Little Regent King Lady Lucia hadn’t done anything, didn’t even display her martial prowess; with just a few words, she effortlessly gained the opportunity to form a contract with a Pureblood Dragon.
Ah no, it was the Pureblood Dragon who took the initiative to form a Dragon Knight contract with her.
“No need, no need, you haven’t done anything excessive to me, there’s no need for this, I never thought about forming a Dragon Knight contract with you.”
The Shadow Dragon sighed; he understood, Lady Lucia looked down on him…
Unwilling to form a Dragon Knight contract with him.
“Lady Lucia, may I form a Dragon Knight contract with you?”
Green Dragon Drummond, regretting his initial slowness, hurriedly flashed his Dragon grin, appearing in front of Young Dragon Lucia and with a swipe of his Dragon hip, nudged the Shadow Dragon aside.
Being able to attract the attention of the Dragon God and forming a contract with such a being promises many future benefits.
“I don’t want to form a Dragon Knight contract with you either. Oh right, could you please not pursue and kill Leon, Evelyn and the two of them in the future?”
“Since Lady Lucia has spoken thus, I naturally have to give this respect to Lady Lucia.”
Golden Giant Dragon Griffin cleared his throat and grabbed Green Dragon Drummond’s Dragon Tail with his Dragon Claw, pulling Drummond aside, then appeared in front of the Young Dragon: “My golden radiance shines bright, Lady Lucia, form a contract with me, it will be prestigious when I carry you in the future…”
The Young Dragon waved her hands, “No, no, no, I don’t want to sign a Dragon Knight contract with any of you dragons, and don’t be afraid, I won’t seek revenge for past matters.
How about this? If you’re still worried, why not follow me for a while, and after I become the Emperor, we can part without owing each other, how about that?”
???
Becoming followers of Lady Lucia?
This… seems acceptable.
Seeing Lady Lucia’s demeanor, she doesn’t seem like someone who holds grudges.
Golden Giant Dragon Griffin exchanged looks with a few other Pureblood Dragons present, then… through their mutual glances, the few Pureblood Dragons agreed to temporarily follow Lady Lucia.
“I, Golden Giant Dragon Griffin, am willing to follow Lady Lucia.”
“I, Green Dragon Drummond, am willing to follow Lady Lucia.”
“I, Akman, am also willing to follow Lady Lucia….”
“I…”
Nine Pureblood Dragons agreed to follow the Young Dragon in succession.
“Um… those following me… I won’t take care of your food and lodging… I can’t afford to keep you. You shouldn’t consider yourselves as my subordinates, instead think of yourselves as my companions. I also won’t actively ask you to do anything for me…
Just… when I become the Emperor one day, would you few… just stand by me and show support, is that alright?”
The Young Dragon grinned sheepishly; even Lance can’t support dependents, let alone herself.
Nine Pureblood Dragons, who could afford to keep them?
The words of Young Dragon Lucia amused the nine Pureblood Dragons; saying such things showed that Lady Lucia wasn’t a deeply scheming person.
Far too innocent.
It wasn’t hard to tell from the nature of the oaths they made.
If it wasn’t for the Dragon God, these few could have kept Lady Lucia as a naive fool to amuse them for decades…
“Can do.” Golden Giant Dragon Griffin sneered and nodded, “That… Lady Lucia, which kingdom in the Human World do you wish to be the Emperor of?”
“The Phalan Empire! I want to be the Emperor of the Phalan Empire! By the way, you’ve been in the Morning Star Domain for so long, have you heard of the Phalan Empire?”
The anticipation shone in the eyes of the young dragon. If these giants present had heard of the Phalan Empire, that would be too wonderful, and she would ask them to send her to the territory of the Phalan Empire!
This would save a lot of trouble.
“The Phalan Empire? When I was active in the Human World…..I seem to recall hearing the name of this empire….Lady Lucia, don’t rush me, let me think.”
Green Dragon Drummond had a vague impression of the name of the Phalan Empire, he was aware of a few powerful human empires in the Morning Star Domain.
“I know this empire.” Golden Giant Dragon Griffin transformed into his Dragonborn form, with golden hair, golden eyes, and horns on his head, “It seems Lady Lucia had collected information about this empire beforehand.
Knowing about the current crisis in the Phalan Empire.”
“Ah? Crisis? What crisis? I don’t know anything about it.”
The young dragon was dumbfounded. The Phalan Empire was facing a crisis?
No… It was all fine when she was captured as an Amethyst Young Dragon by Lance, how had it come to face a crisis so soon after her return?
“What crisis has the Phalan Empire encountered?”
“To be precise, it’s not quite a crisis. A year ago, the second in line to the throne of the Phalan Empire officially became the new emperor.
After he ascended, he has been openly and secretly weakening the influence of various temples on the Phalan Empire, and had also rolled out many policies to limit the temples.
Targeted by the new emperor, the temples, naturally dissatisfied and possessing transcendental status, always towering over imperial authority, how could they be content to remain beneath it?
In simple terms, the royal family of the Phalan Empire is currently struggling with the divine authority. If the new emperor wins, the Phalan Empire will become the first to break away from divine authority.
If he loses…the imperial authority of the Phalan Empire will be suppressed even more by divine authority, perhaps in the future whoever becomes emperor will have to be approved by the temples.
Lady Lucia, if you want to be the Emperor of the Phalan Empire, this is just the right time. As long as you can gain the approval of the temples, with the power of the various temples of the Phalan Empire, they can naturally let you contend with the new emperor.”
It just means that you might become a puppet emperor afterward.
Golden Giant Dragon Griffin kept this to himself, mainly because Lady Lucia in front of him just didn’t seem to have what it takes to be an emperor.
The young dragon remained silent; her detestable elder sister Asina had indeed become the emperor of the Phalan Empire.
And had started to weaken the influence of the temples on the empire.
Asina’s idol was none other than Brude Donahue.
However… given Asina’s capabilities, it would be difficult to weaken the influence of the temples on the empire shortly.
Luckily, she was not facing the Radiant Divine Court of the old days, otherwise, barely having the intent and starting actions, she would have been shunted off the throne by the God of Light’s court.
Now returning to the Imperial City and ousting her detestable elder sister Asina from the throne would likely make the temples overjoyed.
Divine authority should not indeed be an encumbrance to imperial authority.
“Has the struggle between divine and imperial authority affected every province of the Phalan Empire?”
“It has. Some provinces believe that the new emperor should not suppress the temples, whereas other provinces actually support the new emperor in suppressing the temples.”
Hearing Griffin’s words, the young dragon made a decision: “Griffin, can you first take me to those provinces in the Phalan Empire that support the temples?”
“Sure, I’ve stayed in the Phalan Empire for a while.”
“There’s no time to lose, let’s head to the Phalan Empire now!”
Griffin transformed back into a Golden Giant Dragon, looked down at the young dragon, and asked, “Lady Lucia, why did you choose the Phalan Empire? Why do you want to become the Emperor of the Phalan Empire?”
“Does usurping a kingdom need a reason?”
Princess Lucia did not want any giant dragon to know about her identity for now.
Griffin grinned, “Understood, then I will first take you to Anselm Province in the Phalan Empire, a province that worships the Martial God.”
