Chapter 729 - Smooth Transition - Part 2 (1/2)
When the parade was halfway to the castle, Aerelion the Infernal Wyvern and Wrath the Golden Dragon showed up above Rosalie City. The two giant creatures flew across the city. Their appearance caused the cheers to come into a pause until someone shouted nonsense. ”It's the Tang Empire's Guardian Beast! Dragon!”
People did not know where the voice came from, and they did not bother to look at who was speaking. They believed what that random guy just said and broke into a cheer once more. Who was not excited about having a dragon as their protector?
”Larry is doing it well.” Alton discovered that students were wearing the Royal Academy's uniform, shouting and cheering from the corner side. He also noticed Archduke Semea people in the crowd. To be honest, he was surprised they did not encounter resistance from the citizens.
”There's no reason for them to reject the new ruler. We promised them nothing would change aside from the ruler and the name. They are not stupid enough to suffer the same fate as Yorutuba City's people.” Ashley responded with a low voice.
”You look displeased even though everything goes smoothly, Ashley. Do you have something in mind?” Allan noticed the girl did not look that happy. He could tell that as well by her not enthusiastic voice. ”Are you concerned that Lord Tang will pick the princess as his new wife?” He cracked a joke to lighten up the mood.
”That's not it.” Ashley shook her head as a frown appeared on her forehead. ”We are his spear and sword, but why did he bear it by himself? It's our duty to win the battle for him, not the other way around.”
Vice-Marshal Allan quickly realized what Ashley talked about. She spoke about the Yorutuba City event when Lord Tang Shaoyang slaughtered the civilian and the knight by himself.
”While I agree with you about that, I think he did it for us.” Marshal Alton glanced at Ashley. ”Especially you, Ashley. Before a Vice-Marshal, you are Lord Tang Shaoyang's wife. He will never let your hand get dirty by killing those ignorant fools.” Those ignorant fools were civilians who supported the noble houses to fight them. They were stupid enough to meddle in the war while they could avoid the conflict.
”I think we made the right choice, Alton. At the moment, even without Flame Queen, I will still follow him.” Vice-Marshal Allan looked at the man's back. ”He is a good leader.”
'What are you guys talking about? It's so embarrassing.' Tang Shaoyang thought to himself as he could hear everything the three talked about. Having a sensitive hearing sometimes is also not a good thing. Despite his inner feelings, Tang Shaoyang put on a calm mask while observing the people on the street.
The parents were even bringing their children, pointing at the dragons in the sky. To be honest, Tang Shaoyang was not expecting the plan to work like this. This took them a week to plan before they entered the capital.
'How is it? Is it still the same city you remember, Rosalie?' Tang Shaoyang asked Rosalie.
—Nope. It's totally different, but it's a good difference. The city has become much better for sure. I think they still treat the people of my kingdom well even though they took the throne from me treacherously.
Rosalie responded calmly. She was not that excited returning to the city she built from zero. It was not like she could take it back with her current circumstance. There was nothing she could do.
