Dragon Monarch System

The next day____

The month of winter was approaching its end. The white blanket of snow was slowly beginning to melt. The temperature of the Dying Isle, Westnia, and the Celestial Terrain was slowly turning warmer. The magic animals that have entered into hibernation were slowly waking up from their deep slumber and were beginning to look around for food. Some trees were already beginning to grow their leaves, and plants started to grow flowers.

This was the end time of Winter. Everything was very peaceful in Azure city. A few weeks ago, Aditya came up with a new array formation. It was a type of array formation that would keep the entire Azure city slightly warmer compared to the outside world. As of now, he still hasn't made this array in other cities as he was busy.

Thanks to all the measures that Aditya has taken and thanks to everyone's hard work, this year, only 11 people died in Azure city. Compared to the previous year, this number has gone down drastically. Even in other Istarin Empire Cities, the number of deaths is almost negligible if one were to compare this to the previous years.

Everything was going according to Aditya's plan. The Istarin Empire was rapidly developing under his rule. The people of the Empire were very happy mainly due to several factors. The food had become cheap and affordable for everyone. The crime rate has drastically gone down. There was hardly any corruption.

"Good Morning, Scott." The goddess of nature approached Scott an hour after they finished breakfast.

"Good morning, Lady Tombrook." Just like Aditya was respected by every dragon in this world as he was the Dragon Monarch, all the elves in this world respected the goddess of Nature. Scott was also the same. Elves held the Goddess of Nature in very high regard. In Celestial Terrain, Riya is extremely popular and influential. If any foreigner even dares to say any disrespectful word to their goddess, the elves would hunt that foreigner and would mercilessly kill them. The elves of the Celestial Terrain wouldn't tolerate any disrespect towards their goddess.

Elves were lovers of nature. Elves are very different from other races. After Dragon and Vampire races, elves were one of the strongest races in the whole world. Every elf worships the Nature goddess. Elves would do anything to protect nature even if it means starting a war. There were even many elven tribes that were strict vegetarians. These tribes wouldn't hunt any wild magic animals.

After Riya was born, she was slowly able to change this perception of her elven people. Riya saw hunting animals as a natural law of nature. The food chain was created by the nature to balance everything. Every plant and animal species, whether big or small, depends on another plant or animal species to some extent for its survival.

In the eyes of the elven people, Riya was the reincarnation of the elven goddess. All the elven people followed whatever Riya told them.

Scott who was the leader of the first army division didn't dare to say the goddess's first name. He instead called her by her family name. The amount of respect that Scott had for Riya is immense. When Scott learned that Riya was the goddess of Nature, he instantly kneeled before her and asked for forgiveness for not being able to recognize her. For the past few months, Scott has been seeing Riya in the Dragon palace. Her kindness only increased the respect that he had for the goddess. "Lady Tombrook, you do need anything from me?" Scott was going to train the new recruits in his division.

"Scott, why are you always so serious?" Riya wanted Scott to relax around her. It seems what she wanted was impossible. Riya has said these words a few times in the past but Scott never changed. He is always very serious.

"Lady Tombrook, do you need anything from me?" Scott asked.

"Scott, can you please send one of your men to the Celestial Terrain? I am planning on growing magic fruit. I need someone to get me the seeds of the magic fruit." Riya wanted to grow Magic fruits for the Istarin Empire. Each magic fruit had great benefits. Not only a magic fruit temporarily increased a cultivator's cultivation speed, but it also increased one of the random stats of a cultivator by [50+].

Riya gave Scott a letter that she had personally written. Taking the letter, Scott saw Riya's signature on the letter along with the royal seal of the Tombrook family. "Just show this letter to my maid and she will do the rest." Riya's maid wanted to come and live with her. But Riya refused. Every day, her maid would send her letters asking how she was doing.

"Alright. I will send one of the elven soldiers in my division to do the job." The reason Riya approached Scott is that he was a dark elf and his division had the most number of elves.

"Thank you, Scott."

"Milady, there is no need to thank me for something small as this. If you need anything else, just let me know." Riya nodded her head with a smile.

From the balcony, Aditya watched the interaction between Riya and Scott. 'This reminds me. Julia doesn't have her own personal maid yet. Neither do Leo and others have their own personal maids. I should talk to Watson regarding this.' Having a personal maid was necessary. This kind of task is usually done by Riya's personal maid.

Aditya then left the balcony.

A moment later using the teleportation array, he teleported to the Northern Frost Dragon Empire. Xolas was one of the medium size cities located in the Northern Frost Dragon Empire. The city was located at the center of the Northern Frost Dragon Empire.

Today Aditya has come here for a reason. The current ongoing civil war in the Northern Frost Dragon Empire is a very concerning factor for the Istarin Empire. Especially after learning that the western region's 7 Empires had their eyes set on the southern region, Aditya knew that the ongoing throne succession fight in this Empire must be ended as soon as possible and the whole Empire must be united. Though Aditya has managed to delay the invasion of seven Empires by pulling a few strings from the dark, this won't always work. What if tomorrow, another big powerful force tries to enter the Southern region? And what if that powerful force takes over the Northern Frost Dragon Empire? When that happens, the Istarin Empire will have an enemy at its borders.

Besides the threat of foreign attack, Aditya also wanted to maintain a strong influence within the Northern Frost Dragon Empire. At first, he planned on taking over the Northern Frost Dragon Empire but that all changed after he realized that compared to its vast size, the Empire was too weak. The current Istarin Empire was already huge. It was probably one of the biggest Empires on the planet in terms of size. But to protect all of its territories a huge force is needed something that the Istarin Empire currently lacked. Just 10,000 Dragonians alone won't be enough. So Aditya wanted to take time to first make his military stronger before aiming to conquer more land. Also to become a global powerhouse, the empire needed strong allies. The Northern Frost Dragon Empire had the potential to become a strong ally.

The Istarin Empire was going to secretly help the 5th prince to become the Emperor of the Northern Frost Dragon Empire. Of course the help Aditya was going to provide isn't going to be free. Today he was here to negotiate with the fifth prince. If both of them manage to find a common ground, then Aditya will help the fifth prince become the next Emperor. Doing this would benefit the Istarin Empire in multiple ways.

First of all, the Istarin empire won't have any threat from the Northern Frost Dragon Empire. Rather the Northern Frost Dragon Empire would become one of the biggest allies of the Istarin Empire. So in case, a foreign force wants to invade the Southern region, both Empires can unite and defend the Southern region. An alliance between both Empires would make trade a hundred times easier and faster.

Aditya would have a strong influence on the Northern Frost Dragon Empire and Emperor. This would help the Istarin Empire immensely in the long run.

"Only a very certain number of people knows where the fifth prince is hiding." After the death of the White Dragon King, just as the throne succession fight started, all the princes and princesses turned against each other. The royal family was divided into many parts. Among all of his brothers and sisters, the fifth prince had the least political power. As a result the fifth -prince had no choice but to hide somewhere.

"Fortunately the shadow guardians were able to find the fifth prince's hiding location." Aditya looked at the two-story wooden house in front of him. The fifth prince lived in this ordinary wooden house and no one knew it except for the people who worked for him.
