The Dragon Princess Who Traveled Through Another World - Chapter 173
Chapter 173 Fry’s decision
In this world where giant dragons are respected, as long as there is no projection of the gods to ‘make trouble’, then there is nothing that a giant dragon can’t handle.
If so, send another dragon!
Although the task was given to Mag, as the little tail ‘Jinna’, how could she leave McGarrett who is very respectful to her and always acts as her ‘enthusiastic listener’?
The two giant dragons crushed unilaterally, and the high-level knight team sent by Prince George to hunt down Frye successfully completed the task.
The “Pillars of Empire” in the past has lost the demeanor that many noble ladies and socialites were obsessed with.
When the two juvenile dragons landed on the Dragon Terrace of the Floating Void City in Utopia one after another, Fry Dow Jones, who came down from above, had disheveled hair, blood-stained clothes, and a pale complexion due to injuries.
Compared to his ‘worse’, the Marquise Dow Jones just looked a bit unwell, and her costume was also a little bloody, but overall she was much better than Frye.
Charlie went to Longtai to meet his friend.
As she promised before, Utopia will help Fry Dow Jones unconditionally at any time and under any circumstances.
Things are impermanent.
In a blink of an eye, it turned out that the weak, helpless, precarious young Earl, who was cornered by his profligate biological mother, had now propped up the sky.
She could even openly stand up against the soon-to-be-emperor of the empire when no one in the imperial capital dared to say a fair word for the Dow Jones family.
Seeing his good friend, Charlie couldn’t bear to tell him that his father and younger siblings were killed.
Even though the Marquise Dow Jones was frightened at first, she was still a famous nobleman after all, after calming down on the back of the dragon.
Although he is grateful to Charlie now, the backbone of his back is not broken.
She was neither humble nor overbearing, and expressed her gratitude reservedly, without embarrassing the Dow Jones family.
Charlie tilted his head, and whispered to the mixed-blood trial angel Baoli who was following him: “Baoli, take the Marquise to rest.”
Wanting to talk about the Marquis Jones, Charlie wanted to avoid the Marquis, but unexpectedly.
“Your Excellency Countess Violet, may I ask, have you received any news from the imperial capital?”
Charlie was stunned, looking at this lady with a slightly haggard face, but with piercing eyes and an exceptionally determined lady.
When a woman is doted on by her husband, she is lingering and tender, but once she leaves her husband, she shows her strong side again.
For such a marquise, Charlie can’t make any claims, she nodded slightly, “Yes, ma’am.”
The Marquise understood something from that overly beautiful face.
After about three seconds, she said: “Please allow me to tidy up my appearance before we discuss this matter, can you, Your Excellency Countess Violet.”
Charlie nodded and said softly, “Okay, ma’am.”
…
Because of Frye, Charlie directly arranged people into White Castle.
The reception standards are all in accordance with the highest standards.
The Marquise didn’t waste a lot of time, and Frye’s injury, with Silver Dragon who was good at healing, was no longer a problem.
Soon, they sat in the small living room on the fourth floor of the White Castle.
Sitting on the soft sofa, Charlie felt as if he was sitting on needle felt.
However, she couldn’t speak, which made the atmosphere more painful and depressing.
“Mrs. Dow Jones Marquis… and your second son and daughter have been killed by George.”
Madam lowered her eyes.
Charlie saw that the lady’s eyes turned red quickly, but she stubbornly refused to let herself cry.
This is the etiquette of the great nobles.
Never expose your vulnerable side in front of outsiders, even if the bones of your own relatives are in front of you.
As for Frye, his hands were clenched little by little until his joints turned white and his fists were trembling slightly.
Frye and the Marchioness were silent for a while.
Charlie didn’t say anything about safety, she was just quietly waiting for the two to make a decision.
Then, what Utopia should do is to fully support Frye’s decision.
This has nothing to do with benefits, just because Charlie always remembers that he was a sunny young knight when he first came to this world, and he helped selflessly and without asking for anything in return.
Charlie thought it would be Frye who spoke first, but unexpectedly, the Marchioness of Dow Jones turned her head, her expression was calm, and she only said a word to Frye: “Frye Dow Jones, now you are the head of the Dow Jones family, Now on your shoulders, you no longer only have the glory of a knight, but also the burden of your family.”
With his father and family, he can be just a hero of the empire.
But now, between the family and the empire, Frye has to make a choice.
Do you raise the flag of rebellion to avenge your closest relatives, or abandon your family’s blood feud because of your loyalty to the empire?
The eldest prince Anthony, who had just succeeded to the throne, died at his succession ceremony.
The second prince, Joshua, was exiled by the powerful Antony after he failed in the fight for Huang Zuo.
Frye rubbed his face, “Charlie, do you have any news about the Second Highness?”
Charlie directly picked up the magic summon bell, “Wait a moment.”
Not long after the ‘Silent’ summon bell rang, the green-skinned ‘Informant’ Harpy trotted all the way to the small living room.
Of course, after seeing that Frye and the Marquise Dow Jones were also here, the goblin imitated human etiquette and bowed to the great nobleman.
And his huge eyeballs were looking around, looking for the trace of the black dragon.
It’s too scary, that black dragon like Charlie, he was really picked up by that dragon just now, and he was almost swallowed.
“Fry, if you have any questions, just ask Happy directly. The information from the goblins is reliable.”
However, the answer given by Happy made Frye look even more serious, “Your Excellency, the second prince Joshua was assassinated and his youngest son was poisoned by Prince George.”
“Currently, according to the news we have received, Prince George’s right of succession to the Platinum Empire is already number one.”
The three heirs of the great prince Anthony returned to the arms of death together with their poor father at the enthronement ceremony.
Oh no, Reaper is ‘not at home’, that can no longer be said.
For a long while, Frye didn’t speak, and the Marchioness didn’t urge him or try to influence his decision.
“Charlie…” Frye’s voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again, “What would happen to an empire without an emperor?”
“Probably, it will be hell.”
The vacancy of the throne of power will arouse the ambitions of all those who have the ability to covet the throne.
On the contrary, a large-scale civil war will break out throughout the empire.
At that time, all citizens will be burned to ashes by the flames of war.
So Frye seemed to close his eyes in despair.
When he opened those clear eyes again, the man who integrated the eight knightly virtues of humility, honesty, compassion, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul into his bone marrow said:
“Charlie, can the usurper be a wise king?”
Facing those clear eyes, Charlie replied softly: “Yes.”
Frye fell silent.
Charlie said again: “However, for George, it depends on what he does in the future. He can be a wise king, or he may be a foolish king.”
“Then I want to see it.”
“If he is a wise king, I will never mention revenge for the rest of my life.”
“but…”
If it is for the king to be unkind, it is time for the knight to take revenge.
