As soon as Lei Luos finished speaking, Jiang Dandan's eyes widened like a bull's, her pupils dilated, and she stammered hurriedly, "No, no, no, Daddy, you've got it wrong, you've got it wrong! It's not my marriage with Daodao, it's Daodao's marriage with Dazaizai!"
How could this possibly be its marriage to Daodao? As a future top-tier sea king, how could it possibly be tied down to a knife? It wants to seduce beauties and handsome men across the stars and the sea!
“Yes, I’m not mistaken!” Relos affirmed, then countered, “Didn’t you just say that yourself? What, are you going to back out?”
"Little Dragon, let me tell you, the most basic principle of being a person is to keep your word and not go back on your word. Especially for you, as the heir to the empire, your words must be as good as gold, so that your people can trust you!"
Jiang Dandan's pupils didn't just tremble; they were vertical and shaking wildly. She wasn't struck by lightning; she was terrified as if she had seen a natural enemy: "Daddy, Daddy... So-and-so is the heir to the empire? Isn't the heir to the empire the eldest son?"
Isn't the heir to the empire the eldest son?
What does this have to do with this innocent little cub?
Why does it have to be so authoritative in its word?
No, no, no, it likes to talk nonsense and make wild claims.
He has to think eight times before he speaks, which is not in line with the personality of a future top-level sea dragon king.
“Yes, the heir to the empire is the big cub!” Relos looked at his little dragon cub, not understanding why his little dragon cub would ask such a question, but still gently explained: “Aren’t you the big cub, aren’t you the heir to the empire?”
Jiang Dandan jumped eight feet high, her body covered in black scales. The dragon scales burst open, looking just like fish scales standing up in a frying pan: "No, no, no, Dad, Dad, you're wrong, you've misunderstood. I'm not the eldest son, my Golden-Eyed Sister is the eldest son, she's the heir to the empire!"
It's not a big cub, it's an imperial cub.
Didn't we agree that whoever is the boss will inherit the position?
He is the youngest son, so why should the youngest son inherit the Troia Empire?
This is against the laws of the Empire, right?
Whether we are princes or princesses or anything else, we must abide by the law and be good citizens, right?
So, the heir is its sister, and it has nothing to do with it, right?
He can be a carefree little prince, right?
Yes, yes, that must be it!
That's definitely true, absolutely true!
Upon hearing this, Leilos realized that his little dragon cub had made a mistake regarding its birth and the imperial inheritance law.
If your own child doesn't understand, as a father, it's my responsibility to educate them, explain things to them, and help them clearly understand their responsibilities and role.
Leilos patiently explained to him, "Sweetie, you've got it wrong. I asked your uncle, and he said you hatched first!"
Ginger Egg: "?!?!?!?!"
What, what?
Uncle Dog said it hatched first.
Uncle Dog ruined it!
It vowed to be mortal enemies with its Uncle Dog.
"After you hatched, your aunt gave birth to the big golden-eyed baby and the black-eyed baby, who are your sister and brother!" Leilos looked at the baby standing in front of him, his voice unhurried and calm, slowly correcting Jiang Dandan and inputting its own mistakes.
"Furthermore, according to the Imperial Succession Law, if your dragon father and I have no children, and there is any accident after my death, or if I abdicate early, your uncle is the first in line to inherit the throne."
"Now that you are here, you are our child, you are the first in line to inherit the empire, your uncle automatically becomes the second in line to inherit the empire, your golden-eyed sister is the third in line to inherit the empire, and your black-eyed brother is the fourth in line to inherit the empire!"
"When you have children in the future, your children will become the second in line to the throne, and your uncle and sister's status as heirs to the imperial throne will automatically decrease. Do you understand?"
"Is that so?" Jiang Dandan struggled to sit up, her whole body filled with dejection, her head buzzing, and she asked blankly, "Isn't the succession law of the Troia Empire that whoever's child is born first the heir?"
Relos hummed in agreement: "That's right. According to the Troia Empire's succession law, you are my first in line to the throne, your child is second in line, your child with children is third in line, and if you have a second child, you'll be fourth in line!"
"As the saying goes, there is an order of seniority, with the eldest going before the youngest. Whoever is born first is the heir to the empire, do you understand?"
Jiang Dandan's pupils were still bulging, and its scales hadn't returned to normal. Its throat was dry, and the whole dragon felt like it was being fried in oil. Still unwilling to give up, it felt it could struggle a little longer: "Dad, do you...doesn't the Imperial Law favor men over women?!"
Yes, didn't people in the past favor boys over girls?
That way, it wouldn't have to inherit the throne, right?
"Preferring sons to daughters?" Relos chuckled. "How could you, a silly little thing, have such thoughts? How could your father be sexist? How could the Imperial Law be sexist?"
"Whether it is the Troia Empire's royal family or any other royal family, men and women are equal and have equal rights of inheritance."
"Don't worry about being discriminated against by the law because you are the Little Dragon Girl. The law will not discriminate against you, the empire will not discriminate against you, and you are your father's precious child. Even if your Dragon Father and I have other children in the future, you will still be the first in line of succession, and no one can shake your position!"
Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"
Heavens above, earth below.
It doesn't worry about others shaking its position; it's eager for others to shake its position.
It doesn't want to inherit the Trojan Empire, it doesn't want to get up earlier than the rooster, work harder than the ox, and sleep later than the dog. It wants freedom, it wants to fly, it wants the stars and the sea, and handsome men and beautiful women.
Leilos reached out and pulled Jiang Dandan to sit beside him, stroking its soft, tousled hair: "Little Dragon Baby, don't worry, you are Daddy's child, the rightful heir to the empire, and no one dares to disobey you!"
"You like Daodao, and Daodao likes you too. Dad agrees to your marriage. Let's get a marriage certificate and get engaged first, and then register the marriage after you grow up!"
Jiang Dandan's speech became slurred, and she simply said, "No, no, no..."
"No, no, no?" Leilos interrupted it, looking at his little dragon baby, and said very seriously, "Little dragon baby, didn't you say he likes you, and you like him? You asked me to bestow a marriage upon you two. Wasn't that the result you two had already discussed?"
"Now that we've reached a consensus, you're disagreeing? What, as the future heir to the empire, are you not only breaking your word but also toying with people's feelings?"
