Chapter 272: Chapter 184: The Golden Sun that Burns Everything

"Do you have such high regard for Alexander?"

Upon hearing Noah’s assessment, Gwendolin was extremely surprised. After all, this was an Ancestral Golden Dragon. Humans who received positive evaluations from him were quite rare, and now her nephew had received such high praise.

The third generation Monarch of the Kingdom had yet to ascend, as her father had just taken the throne. Yet, Noah’s gaze was already set on the third successor.

"It’s merely an evaluation based on his current performance. Whether he truly possesses the qualities of a King can only be determined after he grows up."

Noah glanced at the young girl before him, making a correction.

If this remark were to spread, who knows what kind of chaos it might cause.

Though Noah did not intend to do so deliberately, he naturally became the focal point of the Dragon Clan’s power within the Atlas Kingdom, turning into an important force not to be overlooked.

It can be foreseen that this strength will swell madly over time, and reach its peak in four hundred years, because by then, not only will Noah become a Legend, but the Gold and Silver Dragons under his dignities will also surpass the legendary limits and become Legendary Giant Dragons.

Even those slightly weaker in bloodline abilities, like the Three Copper Dragons, will become Legendary Dragons in two hundred years, amounting to hundreds of Legendary Dragon Lords.

Even Noah finds it hard to imagine what the Kingdom would be like after six hundred years, but it is certainly foreseeably magnificent.

During this period, no matter how neutral and peaceful the ruler may be, they must expand outward because Legendary Dragons have a strong desire for material existence, and the stomachs of the Dragon Lords need to be filled.

"His sister Aveline and brother Theodore, I also find them quite good."

"Would they also be suitable to succeed my brother?"

"As long as they can be kind to the people and be content with maintaining order, it’s possible."

This was Noah’s inference based on Uranos’s character. The third generation of the Kingdom needs a ruler to maintain stability, so the demand for a Monarch’s capability is significantly lower compared to the first and second generations.

"Then could I be fit as well?"

Hearing the casual evaluation from Noah, even the young girl couldn’t help but roll her eyes. The more such evaluations like ’the qualities of a Monarch’ are given, the less valuable they become, making it seem like anyone could be suitable.

"You?"

Noah looked at the young and graceful girl before him, scanned her from head to toe, and then shook his head,

"If you want to succeed the throne, you need to remove the label of being from the Star Tower. Once you rid yourself of this identity, you could do it."

"Ah!?"

The girl, who had only said it offhandedly, was suddenly dumbfounded at this moment,

"I can really do it?"

"Of course, aren’t you also an Augustus? You are Tidel’s eldest daughter; legally, you are the First Inheritor!"

"But who would support me?"

"If you genuinely wish to become Queen, I will support you."

Noah’s voice was low and calm, as if discussing something ordinary. Yet, precisely because it was so calm, even after Gwendolin pondered multiple times, she couldn’t find the tiniest hint of a joke.

"Dragon Dad, are you not joking with me?"

"As long as you have the resolve to become Queen and bear the fate of billions within a nation, I will be your staunchest supporter!"

The Golden Dragon cast its gaze toward the girl, and the brilliance emanating from those blazing golden eyes made her involuntarily look away,

"Haha, I’d rather not. I do not possess such resolve, and if I were to become Queen, wouldn’t that mean I’d be competing with that guy, Uranos? I don’t wish to have any conflict with him."

The young girl chuckled dryly, changing the topic.

There are indeed Mages who have claimed kingship, such as the old Mage from the former United Kingdom, but when Mages establish or rule a nation, it’s often just to gather resources. Not many Mages focus on the nation; from their perspective, the country is merely fuel to aid in their pursuit of truth.

She never intended to emulate the practices of those predecessors. If she were to become Queen and act similarly, she’d be overthrown in no time.

Yet, truly becoming a Queen worthy of the title requires too much sacrifice and is too exhausting.

"In fact, you are more suitable to succeed your father than Uranos, especially from my point of view, I would prefer you inherit the throne."

Noah was still relentless towards the young girl trying to laugh it off and evade responsibility.

"Spare me, Dragon Dad, I don’t want to live such a burdened life; being a competent Queen is too difficult."

The girl pleaded earnestly, her face bitter. She was already feeling her scalp tingle and sweat breaking out on her back.

"Then just consider everything I’ve just said as a joke."

Noah couldn’t help but laugh aloud, seeing the girl’s embarrassed expression.

"I will forget everything,"

Gwen whipped up a gust of wind and fled quickly; she was truly afraid.

Time passed silently like flowing water, and before one knew it, six years had slipped away. For the Longevity Species, whose lifespans are measured in millennia, it was merely as if they had taken a light nap, closing and opening their eyes, and it was gone.

For the Longevity Species, time hardly leaves any mark on them, but for the Short-lived Species, six years can bring about enormous change.

"Death’s Claw Knight Order, charge with me!"

The flaming crimson dragon scales, forelimbs as sharp as scythes, and robust, powerful hind legs, crowned by sharp horns atop the head — such a fierce and daunting creature — only dared to pounce forward under the command of a tender voice.
