Chapter 1059
"Well then, let"s start preparing for the a.s.sessment." Ain adjusted the crown on her head.
Until now, she still couldn"t believe that she was really wearing this ancient crown that has been pa.s.sed down from the divine era.
Even though she was only fourteen years old, there had never been a precedent in the kingdom"s history for an underage princess to inherit the throne.
Everything has changed.
From the day the sacred silver dragon fell from the starry sky to this land, countless people"s destinies were destined to be changed.
She was lucky. The magnificent silver dragon happened to fall right in the base of the empire"s first magic army legion, and she was the first one to discover it and bring it back.
Making a promise with the silver dragon, she swore to spare no cost in hatching this magnificent and sacred creature from its egg.
This was the mission bestowed upon her. From the moment she touched that silver dragon egg, she strongly felt this.
Therefore, even if it meant deceiving the whole world, she was willing to do so.
Things like the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order were nothing but a huge lie, a century-long lie that deceived the kingdom, the empire, and even other races.
What she needed was not the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order, but a pure girl who could help her hatch a silver dragon egg.
Just like the book "The Correct Method for Hatching Dragon Eggs" says, it"s best if the pure, beautiful girls who are under eighteen years old have a divine era bloodline, and rare exotic bloodlines are also welcomed.
Now, she finally succeeded.
Under the name of the nonexistent Nuclear Blast Queen, she chose to establish the "Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order," giving up the easily obtainable political and economic benefits.
She was so stubborn that she couldn"t be any more stubborn.
She was so fake that she couldn"t be any more fake.
She deceived the country, deceived the people, and deceived the entire world.
How will history record her in the future? As the cruel and heartless Nuclear Blast Queen, or as the spoiled and deceitful trickster?
These three thousand underage girls were all caught up in this ma.s.sive deception.
The selection of the so-called Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order was just a disguise from the very beginning.
That selection actually ended the moment these unsuspecting underage girls were gathered in front of the divine era tower.
She would not spare anyone here in order to hatch the holy silver dragon egg.
In a sense, these underage girls are all sacrifices, chosen as tools to ensure a 100% success in hatching the dragon egg.
The Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order should actually be called the "Girl Knight Order for Hatching Dragon Eggs."
"Is it starting now?" The knight princess squad from the empire took deep breaths, adjusted themselves, and raised their spirits to the optimal state.
The empire"s method of selecting knights is extremely strict, including swordsmanship, horsemanship, armor usage, and recently, handling skills of the magic armor prototype.
Each a.s.sessment must reach an excellent level in order to be bestowed the t.i.tle of knight by the empire. It can be said that every knight in the empire"s knight order is an elite among elites, a ace on the battlefield.
The imperial family of the empire is even more exceptional. They have inherited the bloodline of the empire"s first emperor and are hailed as the top knight lineage on the continent. All of them have chosen the path of knighthood.
Without the sudden arrival of the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order, they were supposed to join the Empire"s knight order called "Princess Knight Order" and serve as the team leader.
In fact, among the princesses who came to partic.i.p.ate in the selection for the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order, there was one who was hailed as the most outstanding genius of the n.o.ble cla.s.s in the empire, Princess Roland, and the kingdom"s Princess Ain who were known as the twin stars.
Both being fourteen years old, just a week ago, Roland had thought about using her power to save her comrades, but who could have expected such a huge turn of events in the battle.
One week later, when the Empire"s princess Roland met her best friend again, their statuses were completely different.
Roland was still the Empire"s highly antic.i.p.ated future knight rising star and the original future vice captain of the Empire"s Princess Knight Order, while Ain had become the queen majesty of the kingdom and the only divine era warlock on the continent.
Things happened too quickly, and now when Roland looked at her good sister, her eyes still seemed a bit confused.
What exactly happened? Why did Ain suddenly acquire the power of the divine era magic overnight?
When they had interactions in the empire, she clearly never won a single time against her, who was a knight!
Moreover, Roland clearly remembered that she had no interest in knights at all. She was the elegant princess who preferred to sit quietly under a parasol and enjoy tea, reading books. She was completely different from her, who was always called a tomboy princess knight.
Why does Ain suddenly want to establish an unheard-of knight order called the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order with such a strange name?
The dragon, which is the ultimate creature at the top of the pyramid in this world, has always been the totem of the Leviathan Empire, you know.
The totem that the Sia Kingdom believes in is clearly the "sword" representing Sia"s divine sword. Even the emblem of the strongest royal knight order in the kingdom is a sword of the king.
Not only the knight princesses of the empire are getting nervous, but also other n.o.ble girls and common girls are becoming tense in a similar way.
Many n.o.ble girls are carrying the pressure of their entire family. If they are eliminated in the selection of the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order, it will become a lifelong shame for the family.
The daughters of merchants inherit their parents" calculation abilities. Once eliminated, the loss of money is enough to make their faces turn pale and make them feel terrible.
The thoughts of ordinary girls are much simpler.
If they lose this opportunity, they will probably never live the good days of having bread and steak every day again. They will have to go back to the days of frequently starving and having the good food taken away by their brothers at home.
In this world where power is revered, male strength far exceeds that of women. Except for a few n.o.ble girls who are well-fed and well-clothed due to their parents" favor, most ordinary girls cannot eat good food at all.
Meat and such, only after pa.s.sing through all the male members of the father, older brother, younger brother, can the female members share the remains.
The seeds from the divine era, agriculture techniques, lost their power from the magic tower and became history.
Pretty commoner girls mostly become lovers of the n.o.bles, while the n.o.ble daughters become tools for arranged marriages.
When Queen Ain declared the establishment of the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order, it changed the fate of many commoner girls and gave them new hope.
Even if it"s a scam, they are willing to jump down willingly, just to seize that one ray of hope.
