After a brief moment of contemplation, a glint of light flashed in the old king's eyes.
He nodded slightly: "Let's do it your way. It'll be good to make this dragon back down and face reality."
"We can give him some high-end resources as a token of our gratitude!"
After the three kings left, the old king summoned his trusted confidants.
"Send me all the information you collected before, all the materials about that war."
The dragon mentioned by the three kings reminded him of some information he had previously encountered.
Could it be the same dragon?
After reviewing all the documents, the king revealed a meaningful smile.
He had guessed something, and it has now been confirmed.
What an interesting dragon, actually setting its sights on their Rose Empire.
A marriage proposal? They know I'm not long for this world and want to take advantage of it to get a piece of the pie?
The king was very intelligent, knowledgeable, and a wise old man.
But that doesn't mean he could guess what that audacious black dragon was thinking.
Su Qing wasn't just looking for a share of the pie; he was eyeing his entire empire.
Thinking he had guessed the black dragon's thoughts, the old king smiled faintly, his eyes holding a profound meaning.
If the dragon wants a share of the pie, he can also use the dragon's power.
The reason, as for the cause, is the issue of succession.
The issue of succession was originally not going to be controversial and would be decided by the king himself.
But the current situation is not so good.
A king-level being has emerged in the royal family of the Rose Empire.
The other party and the old king had different opinions on the issue of succession.
The old king wanted his eldest son to inherit the throne, but the king-level being felt that the old king's third son was more suitable to become the new king.
The two sides had a conflict, and naturally, they couldn't decide on the issue of succession.
Moreover, the current situation is unfavorable to the old king, because only the heir can become king after the old king's death, but after the old king dies, he will be unable to protect his eldest son.
Unless he can win over other kings!
However, that king-level being can also be won over, and has an even greater advantage because they are of the same level and there are no reservations when communicating.
Everything seemed settled, but the appearance of this dragon gave him a glimmer of hope.
With the help of the dragons, he cleared all obstacles for his son.
This black dragon will become the sharpest blade in his hand.
The old king closed his eyes, still somewhat hesitant. After all, the other party was a dragon, and he worried that he might be inviting trouble into the country, which would be difficult to handle.
But then I thought, the temples and the Papacy are in the center of the continent, enough to suppress everything.
"Go and call Rose here."
The old king said to his trusted confidants.
The rose he mentioned was one of his daughters, belonging to the lineage of his eldest son.
Soon, a girl walked in. She was very pretty, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a curvy figure, full of curves in all the right places and slender, delicate features.
Her long, golden hair was tied up, and her purple eyes possessed a bewitching charm that most girls lacked.
"Father!"
Rose bowed, feeling both curious and apprehensive about the old king's sudden summons.
She was born with a certain fear of her father, who was the king.
To others, she was a princess, high above all others, but to her father, she felt as insignificant as an ant.
"I have something I need you to do!"
The old king spoke, recounting the matter in a completely flat voice.
Rose's face turned extremely ugly, as if someone was about to feed him a pile of shit.
"Father, are you joking?"
He actually made her marry a dragon?
She does belong to the eldest prince's faction, and she is indeed willing to pay a price in order for the eldest prince to become king. But isn't that price too high?
"You can choose to refuse!"
The old king uttered these words without a trace of pity, as if giving the other party a chance to refuse.
But Rose's face grew even paler; she could understand the meaning behind her father's words.
You can refuse, but you can think about the consequences of refusing.
"I see!"
She uttered those four words with all her might, then staggered away, forgetting even basic manners.
Her face was as pale as a fine piece of white paper from the Dragon Territory, making her look so pitiful.
Su Qing was led to a room, where two kings stood beside her.
One was the man from before, and the other was an old man who looked quite young. He wasn't among the previous four people, but was also a king with a similar aura to Su Qing.
"Currently, there are twenty-eight princesses in the palace, and one hundred and three of them have married out!"
Su Qing raised her hand, swallowing hard at the same time: "Um, may I ask, are all these people's fathers the kings of the Rose Empire?"
"Yes!"
Having received an affirmative answer, Su Qing looked on with envy.
It's good to be able to have children. If he had that many kids, he could send them all out to build his empire.
That way, I wouldn't have to work so hard.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman came out. She looked to be around 40 years old. Whether she was good-looking or not was secondary.
Su Qing glanced at the two Kings beside her and asked, "Is this lady here to clean?"
With a twitch of his cheek muscles, the old man coughed lightly and said, "This is the king's sixth daughter. She has been married off seven times, but due to some unexpected events, she eventually returned to the palace!"
The old man spoke tactfully, but Su Qing felt a chill run down her spine.
