I, Lich, Can Raise a Dragon [Western Fantasy] - Chapter 35
On the last day of the whole ceremony, Sang Ni began to let the maids start pouring up their costumes early in the morning as usual.
After these few days of devastation, she can accept the discomfort of the big skirt and tunic dress.
Probably because it is the last day, the complexity of the dress has reached a new height.
In the mirror, the woman wears a regulated dress embroidered with gold threads on a white background. The hem of the skirt stretches out naturally and gracefully. A pearl-edged ribbon hangs down at the waist. The large rice-grained gold beads are strung into tassels, and the white cloak is raised behind her. , Above is the symbol of the Shia Empire-a pair of eagles spreading their wings.
The silky brown long hair was coiled up, with diamonds shining in the meantime, the broken hair on the forehead was all fixed by hairspray, and he was wearing a delicate crown.
The maid presented a red velvet tray with a scepter in it.
Not a flashy decoration, but a genuine high-end staff.
“This…” Sang Ni looked at the maid questioningly.
The maid replied respectfully: “It was sent by your majesty’s orders. It is said that the royal family has not produced a high-level mage for hundreds of years, and this staff can only be used by the princess.”
Sang Ni took a closer look and discovered the origin of this staff… more than just a small one.
The transparent staff is made of extremely rare super-purity magic crystals. It can amplify the mana of various attributes and improve the accuracy of spells. More importantly, this staff was made more than four hundred years ago. The scepter of the fifty-ninth emperor of the empire, he was also the first high-level mage to appear in the royal family.
If the prince is undecided, this staff will basically be able to establish Sang Ni as the crown prince, but the current crown prince is still Ravenli.
Suddenly, Sang Ni thought a lot, and finally picked up the staff and smiled gently: “It is my fortunate to be so valued by the emperor father.” The emperor wanted to use her to suppress Ravenli’s arrogance. , And don’t want her family to grow bigger.
But why refuse? Anyway, it’s not her who is the loser.
Magic power was injected into the wand, and the time flowed, Sang Ni held the wand and lightly slammed the ground. The instant fluctuation of magic power made the whole ground tremble slightly.
“Let’s go, the time is almost here.” Sang Ni is still gentle and virtuous, but the momentum of the whole body changes suddenly, like the sun of Nirvana.
The maid trembles instinctively, her face can’t hide in consternation, until the princess turned to go out, they regained consciousness to catch up.
Yes, they always feel that the princess and the queen are similar in appearance, and similar in temperament.
But they overlooked the most important point.
The queen is just a queen, but in addition to the princess, the princess is also a high-level mage who represents the strongest output of mankind.
Today’s weather is very face-saving, the blue sky is like washing, and there is no cloud.
The roof of the palace is shining brightly under the refraction of sunlight, and the white marble steps that have been swept several times by the palace attendants are as clean as a mirror.
On both sides of the palace, there are various guests who come to observe the ceremony, just like the invitation issued by the queen, the noble of Shia, the head of the magic world, the lord of Luonan, the leader of the druid, the prince of the dragon empire, the elves, The messengers of the dwarf clan… constitute a grand occasion that is rare in a century.
As soon as he entered the palace, Sang Ni subconsciously rubbed the tail ring that concealed the magic power of the lich, and straightened his back.
After today, she truly inherited the position of Princess Shia, completely out of the shadow of darkness.
Even though she is not even a living being.
“His Royal Highness, please move.” The courtesy officer beside him reminded quietly.
Sang Ni clenched the staff in his hand and took the first step.
She didn’t walk fast, every step was very firm, but the laces and cloak on her body were raised behind her, although she was smiling, her eyes were always in front of her.
The more she went to the front, the more she could feel the various gazes around her.
Blessings, envy, appreciation, jealousy…There are some more complicated ones.
I don’t know why, she always feels that one of her eyes is particularly prominent.
Passing through the long carpet in the center of the palace, at the end is a three-level high platform, with close relatives of the royal family at the bottom, followed by the Princess of Bright Moon, Muirn, and above, Prince Ravenli, and finally the throne where the emperor and the queen are side by side.
According to the etiquette, she should be on the first level with Muln.
However, when she was about to stop, the emperor said abruptly: “Dawn, come to me.”
Without waiting for the officials responsible for the ritual system behind him to react, Sang Ni kept a perfect smile, and directly passed Ravenly, who couldn’t restrain the jealousy in his eyes, and stood behind the emperor.
“Father and queen.” She placed the staff horizontally in one hand, and bowed her knees while holding the skirt with the other hand, her long cloak dragged to the ground.
The emperor stood up and helped her up: “Welcome back, my child.”
Sang Ni lowered his eyes and smiled, allowing the emperor to take her hand and turn around, facing the many guests.
Okay, now she can finally see which one has been staring at her just now—
Yaslanza hadn’t planned to attend this ceremony.
But it has already arrived, and Shia’s diplomat counted the roster. If he did not show up during the ceremony, he would be rude to the Shia Empire.
So he passed, and because of his special position, he was still standing relatively close.
He watched that Princess Chenxi walked in slowly from outside the hall, dressed in a Chinese dress and holding a scepter.
Walk into…
and many more……
He looked at Princess Chenxi’s familiar face, and felt as if something was wrong?
Nothing is right!
His gaze moved subconsciously with Sang Ni’s steps, even though he was still in a state of shock that could not think, until Sang Ni was turned around on the high platform by the emperor of Sia, and his gaze ran straight towards him. .
Thunder and fire, thunderbolt in the blue sky, five thunderbolts, and lightning flashes… They couldn’t describe his mood at this time.
On the other hand, Sang Ni, who had met Yaslansa, had no special expression, but his heart was on the verge of collapse.
Her first reaction was that she had admitted her mistake.
but! I have known each other for a few months. Although I can’t say that she is ten mature, at least 70% to 80%. She is not blind and has no deviations in aesthetics. How could this be a mistake!
Having said that, she has memorized the seat schedule, and that position should be the prince of the Dragon Empire! The name is so long that she spit on it!
Of course Sang Ni also saw the surprise in his eyes. If it weren’t for this scene too much to get off the stage, she probably couldn’t help but pull Long aside and ask to understand.
After more than an hour of calling, crowning, enshrining and so on, Sang Ni was almost out of state. Even Ravenli’s congratulations from hiding a knife in a smile could not make her feel better, but she was prepared for the entire process in advance. There are very few places to play on the spot, so no one can see what’s wrong with her.
At best, she felt that she was just following the rules.
After the ceremony, Sang Ni went back to the sleeping hall and changed her dress. When she untied the lace, her hand trembled and a knot was formed.
“His Royal Highness, would you like to rest for a while?” The maid hurried to help her untie, asking worriedly.
In a while, she will go to meet some high-ranking female relatives until they leave the palace today.
Sang Ni shook her head and changed another dress with her help: “It’s nothing, you go and tell the queen, I’ll be there later.” There is one last thing left, and she can’t fall short at this time.
What she didn’t know was that someone had already stumbled her.
Ravenli stood respectfully in front of the emperor.
“…That’s it. Father, the second prince of the Dragon Empire is very fond of Sannyis and wants to marry her very much.”
“What about your sister’s opinion?” the emperor asked indifferently: “She didn’t speak, but you were the lobbyist first.”
“This… Sang Ni is a woman, so we should be more reserved about marriage.” Ravenli smiled reluctantly. “What’s more, the second prince is sincere and has promised the next mineral vein as a betrothal gift, and the trade tax on the border can also be renewed. Agreed.”
The emperor’s sharp gaze fell on his face, and he did not speak for a while.
It’s not that his son is not clever, and all the conditions offered have reached his heart.
Nowadays, the mineral veins of the Shia Empire are almost entirely dependent on the support of the Southern Dwarf Nation. If one day the two countries become hostile, Shia’s weapon manufacturing will be immediately broken, and border trade taxation is the focus of the treasury’s revenue.
However, since when did he become more minded?
The emperor remembered the things he had found before and sighed: “No matter, you go back first. When Chen Xi is finished, let her come over and talk.”
“Father, that vein–” Ravenli was flustered for a moment, but he didn’t expect the emperor to hesitate.
“Enough!” The emperor cried out, his eyes indifferent: “Ravenli, you are my eldest son, Sannyis’s brother, and secondly, you are the prince.”
Ravenli was a little guilty, thinking about the neglect he had suffered, and then became confident: “Father, I am the prince, so I am considering the overall situation of the empire. She is a princess, shouldn’t she contribute to the empire? ?”
The emperor was furious: “Contribution? Just a month after Dawn came back, she improved the magic weapon that the empire hadn’t made progress for decades, and resisted the attacks of the orcs. But you, what have you done all these years?!”
“I–” Ravenley was speechless for a while. He wanted to say that he was fulfilling his duty to assist the government and not overcoming the thunder pool, but compared with Sang Ni’s deeds, it seemed like nothing was done.
The emperor shook his head, preparing to send him away, but at this moment, the waiter informed that Sidney, the second prince of the Dragon Empire, begged to see him.
The prototype of Sidney is a golden dragon, and the changing figure is a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes.
“Good day, Your Majesty Olivier.” He saluted neatly: “I am here for the Princess Dawn of your country, and I sincerely ask you to agree to my marriage.”
“Why?” The emperor’s expression was slightly gloomy: “Dawn is good, but it’s just a human being, but it will return to God’s pure land in a hundred years.”
“The beauty of the princess deeply moved me.” Sidney said without hesitation: “Don’t worry, I would like to share the long life of the dragon with her.” As for whether it is true, when the princess arrives in the dragon empire, What can she do?
The emperor hesitated.
Sang Ni bears a curse on him. If he can share the life of the dragon clan, there may be a way…
“Father, the second prince is also sincere to the princess.” Ravenley echoed by the side: “You promise, she will also be grateful to you if you want to come.”
Once the emperor let go at this time, even if Sannyis didn’t want to recognize it, he had to recognize it!
“In that case…” the emperor said,
The waiter hurried in: “Your Majesty, Prince Yaslanza, please see me.”
What will the eldest son of the Dragon Empire do? The emperor was puzzled, and ordered someone to announce him in.
I saw him bowing to the emperor without expression, and then said straightforwardly: “I have long liked Princess Dawn, and hope your Majesty will make it happen.”
…No, his daughter likes it so much? The emperor who had seen strong winds and waves was at a loss for a moment. Then, as if things were not messy enough, Sang Ni’s voice came from far from the entrance of the hall:
“Thank you for your love, but I won’t bother you with my marriage.”
The author has something to say:
Alas…The meeting that has been paved for a few chapters is always a bit anticlimactic…

On the first day without deposit, Guo Ben fell into the fear of being cut off and more dominated…
