But those who can sit in this position are all strong without exception. No one in the entire dragon clan has any doubts about Xia Lulu's status, and their hearts are full of awe.
Also here were members of the royal maid corps, including Sera and Lucia, whom Xia Yi recognized at the first sight.
As for Xia Yi...
He stood beside Xia Lulu.
The maids still found this scene quite strange. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess seldom appeared here, and she usually didn't care much about these things.
"Mother, I heard that people from the Black Stone Kingdom want to see you?" asked the little princess.
"Yes."
"Then mother, let me meet them too."
"Didn't I remember that you didn't like meeting outsiders?" Xia Lulu asked.
"I'm just learning. After all, I'm the heir of the dragon clan. I have to interact with people from vassal states," Xia Yi said against her conscience. "After all, I'm the princess of the dragon clan!"
"Of course there is no problem. My daughter has grown up and has started to care about national affairs." Xia Lulu replied with relief.
It worked!
Hehehe, Xia Lulu, you really fell into my trap step by step.
Xia Yi remained calm on the surface.
After waiting for a while, a guard came to report that someone from the Black Stone Kingdom wanted to see him. After Xia Lulu agreed, the person from the Black Stone Kingdom came in.
Xia Yi saw the lizard people.
Walking in the front was a lizard wearing expensive silk and covered in luxury accessories. His behavior was different from that of other lizards. He was surrounded by people and it was obvious that he was of extraordinary status.
Following behind him was a tall lizard giant with hideous scars on his face and old wounds all over his body. He was obviously a warrior who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
"Hello, Queen of Silver Dragons. I am Gu Ya, the prince of the Black Stone Kingdom. I have heard a lot about your reputation from my father a long time ago, and I have longed for you. It is a great honor to meet you today. Please allow me to express my respect to the king of the Dragon Kingdom."
He saluted towards Xia Lulu.
The Black Stone Kingdom was a vassal state, and nominally had a vassal relationship.
The following lizardmen carried up the gifts and placed them in front of Xialulu, which contained some valuable items.
Lucia went forward, counted and checked, then nodded to Xia Lulu.
"Isn't King Black Stone here?" Xia Lulu asked calmly.
"My father..." Gu Ya was silent for a moment. "Queen Silver Dragon, our Black Stone Kingdom has encountered civil strife. My father was murdered by my uncle, who took away all my power. Now most people in the Black Stone Kingdom have chosen to follow my uncle, that despicable and shameless guy. I hope you can help them."
"Prince Guya, I am saddened by what happened to King Black Stone." Xia Lulu said slowly.
"Are you going to sit back and do nothing?"
"No, don't worry, Prince Gu Ya. On behalf of the Dragon Kingdom, I will express a strong condemnation of your uncle." Xia Lulu's expression was half-smile.
The giant lizard man had a bad temper. He couldn't help it when he heard this. He almost stood up and stepped forward, but was stopped by Gu Ya's eyes.
Obviously Gu Ya had anticipated this situation, and he calmly took out a scroll and opened it.
The scroll floated up, projecting a majestic figure of a dragon, which was full of oppression, and even Xia Lulu's eyes changed.
"Queen Silver Dragon, this is the decree of the previous Dragon King of the Dragon Kingdom. He once promised that if the Black Stone Kingdom is in trouble, the Dragon Kingdom will definitely go to help, although it is only once. Now is the time when our Black Stone Kingdom is in trouble, so the Dragon Kingdom should also promise."
Gu Ya's voice was so loud that all the dragons could hear it.
Xia Lulu fell into a subtle silence.
Seeing the reaction of the Silver Dragon Queen, Gu Ya straightened his back proudly, waiting for Xia Lulu to say in person that he would help the Black Stone Kingdom resolve the civil strife.
At this time, Xia Yi knew that her chance had come.
"Prince Gu Ya, lying is not a good habit."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Yi.
"You are the Silver Dragon Princess, right?" Gu Ya sneered, "Are you going to disobey the Dragon Kingdom's former emperor..."
Next, Xia Yi only used one sentence to make Gu Ya speechless. His expression was in great confusion, as if he had fallen into an ice cave that had existed for thousands of years.
35 What a great actor
"According to the late emperor's decree, Gu Ya, you are the one who should be executed!"
Xia Yi’s words made Gu Ya’s eyes waver.
"The Blackstone Kingdom was once invaded by orcs from a neighboring country. In order to drive the orcs away from his land, the King of Blackstone chose to ask for help from his brother, your uncle Gudan. He also promised in person that after his death, he would hand over the throne to Gudan. Gudan is the legitimate heir to the Blackstone Kingdom, not you, Prince Guya."
Gu Ya had never expected the Silver Dragon Princess to say this.
Would a high-and-mighty dragon clan, or even a royal family of silver dragon bloodline, who looked down upon a vassal state from the bottom of their hearts, be willing to understand the situation?
It's so un-Riverside!
Xia Yi really didn't care much about these things before, but in order to escape from the Dragon Clan, she spent a lot of time sorting out the status of all the vassal states, and she also marked the detailed history of recent years that could be used. She believed that there was an opportunity for her among them.
For example, the Black Stone Kingdom of the Lizard Clan happened to be the one she highlighted.
The King of Black Stone was indeed scheming. He had long anticipated that his brother had evil intentions and would seize the country after his death, so he did this. After Gudan really seized power, he let Guya come to the Kingdom of Dragons and, with the help of the dragon clan's one-time promise, he would kill with a borrowed knife to eliminate Gudan and let his descendants rest assured.
The calculations are really loud, and they all fall on the dragon clan.
"Nonsense, there is no such...thing at all!" Gu Ya retorted with his neck flushed.
"hehe."
Xia Lulu suddenly sneered, which made the lizard people shudder.
"Prince Gu Ya, you don't need to explain what you said. Gu Dan has already met me and told me everything. I never expected that... Prince Gu Ya, you are so obsessed with profit that you would murder your own father for power. A scum like you who has lost all conscience is indeed not qualified to be the king of the Black Stone Kingdom. Gu Dan has also emphasized many times that he inherited the Black Stone Kingdom because there is no suitable candidate at the moment. It is a helpless expedient measure."
"I didn't!! How could I possibly murder my most respected father? That bastard Gudan made it all up!" Gu Ya roared.
But who believes it?
Only the Lizard Tribe would believe it. The Dragon Tribe would not believe it and would only believe in their own Queen.
After all, what Her Majesty the Queen said is the truth.
Xia Yi was a little confused, thinking, doesn't Xia Lulu drink tea in the garden every afternoon? Where has she seen Gu Dan...
Oh!
She suddenly understood, wow, she was indeed a bad woman, she was just acting to fool people.
"Queen of Silver Dragons, even if you are the king who rules the Dragon Kingdom, I will never allow you to slander our prince! Take back your words--"
The giant lizard glared at him and stood up to demand an explanation.
"Kneel down."
The high heels stepped on the head of the giant lizard man, forcing him to bend down and bow to Xia Lulu.
The lizard felt deeply insulted and was so angry that veins popped out of his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move an inch.
The lizardmen were all stunned.
The one stepping on him was Lucia, a member of the royal maid group.
"Except for Gu Ya, none of you is qualified to have a conversation with Her Majesty the Queen, not even to look at her." Lucia had a cold expression and a domineering aura.
"Your Majesty, do you need us to deal with these Black Stone Kingdom rebels on your behalf?"
As for the younger sister, Sera, although she seems to be smiling, she is actually full of murderous intent.
"General Black Fang, you can't even resist..."
Gu Ya was completely shocked when he saw the strength of the royal maid sisters.
The royal maids belonging to the Dragon Palace have long been famous, who would dare to act rashly?
“Alas,” Xia Lulu sighed and murmured, “Gudan is really stubborn. He actually refused to cooperate in mining the magic crystal vein. This is obviously a win-win opportunity…”
These words seemed to be spoken specifically for Gu Ya, and he was stunned for a moment.
As the name suggests, the Blackrock Kingdom is rich in a rare black magic crystal ore. This magic crystal ore is extremely hard and has excellent magic conductivity, making it very suitable as a weapon material. The Blackrock Kingdom is able to gain a foothold in the northern continent because they can control the magic crystal veins in the country.
Prince Gu Ya stared at the Silver Dragon Queen blankly. An idea came to his mind and he shouted loudly: "Silver Dragon Queen, I am willing to represent the Black Stone Kingdom and cooperate with the Dragon Kingdom to mine the magic crystal veins in our country together!!"
When these words came out, the people of the Lizard Tribe were dumbfounded, especially the strong man of the Lizard Tribe, General Black Fang was even more excited.
"Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do this! The magic crystal vein is the foundation of our Black Stone Kingdom and the lifeblood of our Lizard Clan. Foreign races have coveted it for a long time. How can we give it to others--"
"Shut up."
Lucia stomped again, creating a crack in the floor and burying General Black Fang's face in it, making him unable to make any sound.
Xia Lulu had a very surprised expression, "Oh? Prince Gu Ya, is what you just said true?"
Gu Ya's breathing was rapid, he certainly knew what he was doing.
By asking for help from the Dragon Kingdom, he could not only kill his uncle, but also become the King of Blackstone. As long as he made this promise, as long as he was alive, the Silver Dragon Queen would definitely guarantee his right to control the Blackstone Kingdom, and he would not have to worry about other rebels at all.
If I do nothing, I will end up dead. My uncle will never let me go.
Is there any choice?!
Gu Ya was determined not to let power fall into the hands of his uncle.
"Queen Silver Dragon, what I said is true, but you also understand that my country has now been taken away by the rebels. Even if I agree to cooperate with you, there is no way to achieve it."
"After Prince Gu Ya met you, I finally understood. Gu Dan was indeed the rebel of the Black Stone Kingdom. He killed the King of Black Stone and seized power. Everything he said was a lie. You only talked about this," Xia Lulu said with a smile. "Don't worry, Prince Gu Ya. You have the decree of the previous king. We, the Dragon Kingdom, will definitely help and help the Black Stone Kingdom overcome the national crisis."
Hearing these words, Prince Gu Ya felt relieved. Under such high pressure, he became a little dazed and even his expression was a little broken.
At this point, it no longer matters who killed the Black Stone King.
The other lizardmen were in pain and helpless and could only sigh sadly.
Xia Yi quickly looked at Xia Lulu, her eyes wide and sparkling, her tail wagging as if to say "Choose me, choose me"!
"Mother, you won't break your promise, will you?" Xia Yi asked in a low voice, "You promised me one thing last night. I want to go to the Black Stone Kingdom right now to help Prince Gu Ya!"
"But, Xia Yi, you have never had any experience in foreign wars..." Xia Lulu was a little troubled.
"I'm going to start doing some real work! This is a great opportunity to gild my reputation!"
