Kroeber's reassurance had some effect.
At least there is no longer the tense atmosphere between Ama and Dina.
Krober landed, and Amma and Dinah stood together at Krober's signal.
“Yeah, not bad!
Now we look like a family of dragons.”
Krober nodded in satisfaction, then turned his attention to Alvis and Veronica.
"For this Dragon Riding Ceremony, you should just ride the Tin Dragon. No one should know about the news of the Silver Dragon Dina yet. You're not fully powerful yet, so it's best to keep a low profile."
The speaker was Alvis. As the ruler of one of the seven kingdoms, he naturally knew the current situation on the continent.
The war had just ended, but relations between the countries remained bad.
Even his ally, the Blazing Steel Kingdom, has its own little thoughts.
If Krober revealed his physical condition too early, he might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives.
At present, no other delegations have arrived at Saint Gold Castle, and only the three of them know about this matter, so the secret can naturally be kept.
"I understand."
Krober nodded, he naturally knew this.
During this period, it is enough for him to keep the two dragons in the open. There is no use in having more.
"Until I become a true dragon rider, I will not contract another dragon. Amma and Dinah are enough to protect my safety."
Hearing this, Alvis nodded with satisfaction.
He was just afraid that his brother-in-law was too young and would fill up the soul space contract all at once. By then, even if you control five or six mineral dragons, you won't be able to fight the magic dragon.
But his brother-in-law did not lose his mind because of this. Instead, he planned to bide his time and proceed step by step.
He really appreciated this.
"Okay, I still agree with you on this point, but I still have to ask you one more thing."
Alves suddenly changed the subject, a playful look on his face, and said:
"Hey boy, when are you planning to marry my little sister? Now that you've contracted the Tin Dragon, you're qualified to hold a wedding, both in terms of status and strength."
His eyes were fixed on Krober, a gleam in his eyes.
As soon as Alvis finished speaking, the first person to react was not Krober, but Veronica who was watching the show on the side.
"Oh my! Brother Wang! We're not even engaged yet, how come we're getting married right away?"
As the oldest unmarried young woman in the Golden Duchy, Veronica has always been under pressure to get married within the Emerald Light family.
Even if the Emerald Light Family only has her brother, King Alvis.
But this did not in any way hinder the efficiency of his brother the king in urging marriage.
It’s not that she is shy, but mainly because they just announced their relationship and they are getting engaged after such a short time. This makes her, the Golden Duchess, seem very unreserved.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you."
Alvis was helpless.
"Alas, my sister is grown up now, and as her brother, I can no longer make decisions for her! I can't even ask her!"
He spoke loudly as he walked towards the rest room.
Veronica just kept staring at Alvis's back.
"No! I can't stand it anymore!!"
Veronica's anger had reached its limit at this time. She no longer intended to endure it and directly chased after Alvis's back with her fists raised.
Looking at this scene, Krober suddenly remembered that when he was receiving the sea tribe delegation on Amethyst Island, Osus had told him that Veronica was actually a violent woman.
"Hmm...it's actually quite cute now."
As long as it's not domestic violence, Kroeber thinks violence is cute.
————
Half a month later.
The envoys sent by the seven kingdoms and various duchies arrived in the Golden Duchy one after another.
But they did not choose to live inside the castle like Alvis did.
Instead, the envoys unanimously chose to camp outside the city, patiently waiting for the subsequent tribute ceremony.
This so-called dedication ceremony is actually a subtle power struggle.
This ceremony will determine the order in which envoys from various countries enter the city based on their military strength and diplomatic relations.
This is not only a form, but also a means of demonstrating strength and status on the diplomatic stage.
In this delicate competition, the honor of being the first to enter the city naturally fell to the Emerald Kingdom, the nominal overlord of the Golden Duchy.
"Now, let us invite His Majesty Alvis, the Emerald Light Crown of the Emerald Kingdom, and his delegation of envoys into the city!"
Marquis Frostwolf stood on the stage, and he was the host of the dedication ceremony.
As one of the most powerful and prestigious nobles in the Golden Duchy, it can be said that he deserves to be the host of this tribute ceremony.
Although he has a expressionless face, it is precisely because of this that Marquis Frostwolf is the most suitable person to be the host of this event.
Alvis, on the other hand, was dressed in the gorgeous dress of the Emerald Kingdom and wore an emerald green crown on his head.
Above his head, the Emerald Dragon and the Silver Dragon Dina were circling in the air, as if announcing to the world the mighty power of the Emerald Kingdom.
As the city gate slowly opened, Alvis led the Emerald Kingdom's delegation into the Saint Gold Castle with their heads held high.
The Emerald Kingdom's delegation consists of a total of twenty people, including one dragon knight, one fantasy beast knight, and the rest are talented young geniuses of the younger generation.
The delegation walked onto the avenue, and on both sides of the road were groups of nobles and commoners arranged by Veronica.
They all held flowers, and the nobles held their own flags.
After walking along the avenue, the delegation arrived at the square, which was the place where Veronica publicly announced her relationship with Krober.
Alvis asked the knight beside him to recite the list of gifts he brought this time.
This is also one of the necessary procedures in the dedication ceremony.
The knight beside him coughed lightly and took out a piece of parchment from his arms.
He took a deep breath, poured his fighting spirit into his throat, and recited the gift list aloud.
"The gift from the Jade Kingdom:
Five pieces of forest emerald equipment and one standard jadeite."
After saying that, the knight put the parchment back into his arms and directly opened the box containing the gift.
In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to the treasure in the small box.
"Shh, this is too much! Five pieces of Emerald equipment! That's going to cost a million gold coins!"
The nobles of the Golden Duchy were all standing on both sides of the road to greet the guests in an orderly manner. When they saw the gifts in the box, most of them were attracted by them.
"Not only that! Look at that jadeite, it's priceless! It's extremely rare! Even if you have money, you can't buy it!"
"Oh my god..."
Marquis Frostwolf stood on the stage and saw that the Emerald Kingdom's tribute ceremony had ended, so he announced the name of the second country to enter.
"The second one...
