Andrew Sapphire, the fifth Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire and the Knight of the Sapphire Dragon, left this world in January before the winter of 156 of the Sapphire calendar had passed.
He reigned for nearly 30 years. Although he did not write many legendary chapters, he was considered a wise ruler.
In the last five years of his life, too many stories had happened — Marquis Bull rebelled, the Sapphire Dragon suffered heavy losses, the Eagle Kingdom invaded, stirring up a dragon-slaying war on the sea, and almost dying tragically, a dragon-slaying war broke out between the Eagle Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom, and the Sapphire Family was forced to change lords …
Although the Sapphire Family was in a precarious situation in these five years, Grand Duke Andrew managed to maintain the Sapphire Family as a dragon-rearing family.
"The hero of a generation has finally left."
Marquis Oxtail Lee William Tulip, after receiving the news, let out a long sigh.
Nearly 20 years of friendship between monarch and vassal could not be put down so easily. Now that he heard of Grand Duke Andrew's passing, his heart was filled with mixed feelings. When he was young, his father died in battle during a development order. Thereafter, he inherited the title and followed Grand Duke Andrew. Every year, he would go to the Blue Sky Palace and drive for the Grand Duke.
With the rise of his second son, Liszt, the Tulip family left their status as followers of the Sapphire Family and migrated to the Fire Islands to develop.
He and Grand Duke Andrew still maintained a close relationship.
In contrast to his heaviness, Liszt said lightly, "Father, hand over the official business in your hands to Di Maria. Let's go mourn Grand Duke Andrew together."
Although he had joked with Grand Duke Andrew before, Liszt had never had the camaraderie of a follower. Naturally, he would not grieve for the other's passing. Moreover, he owed Sapphire's dragon soul to Grand Duke Andrew to death first so that he could achieve perfect control of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.
Compared to Grand Duke Andrew, First Prince Anthony's talent was not outstanding enough and could not escape his control.
"Will you bring the dragon soul along?" Lee William suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask, Father?"
"Grand Duke Andrew has passed away. The Sapphire Family will no longer have enough means to deal with the Fire Kingdom and the Iron Ridge Kingdom. I don't think it is necessary for Anthony to continue suffering the soul tearing."
He had no intention of Anthony to death, so Liszt nodded immediately. "I will bring the dragon soul to heal Sapphire. However, Father can have a chat with Anthony and ask him to demote himself to a Duke. Furthermore, he has to cooperate with the Fire Kingdom's military operations. "
"Do you still want to issue an expansion order in the name of the Sapphire Grand Duchy?"
"Yes. You know that farming takes too long. You know, War, and is Andrew. Family is Sapphire Kingdom. "It Dragon Kingdom of Prince of Andrew, Dragon William, and Duke Dragon.
"If we continue to oppress the Eagle Kingdom like this, I'm worried that it will rebound and stimulate the possibility of the Eagle Kingdom fighting us to the death."
"Father," Dragon Dragon of Sapphire Dragon, Dragon "Prince Dragon," King King "is," Sapphphire Dragon, "Prince. "As long as I can control the situation, Eagle Kingdom will be cut off by me sooner or later." Liszt smiled.
The Eagle Royal Family wanted to show weakness to the enemy and incite the three kingdoms to work together.
It was a perfect match for his strategy of 'boiling the frog in warm water'. As long as the other party didn't resist, he wouldn't stop slicing the meat. Perhaps by the time the three Great Kingdoms reacted, the Flame Kingdom would have already beautifully turned around — — The Flame Family would probably have become a top-notch existence that the three Great Kingdoms couldn't shake.
After all, Liszt was riding a dragon at the rate of two to three dragons a year. Dragon Elves and Big Elves did not grow as fast as dragons.
Lee William looked at his high-spirited second son and sighed in his heart that he was behind the times. He had not been so radical in thinking for a long time. "If we are going to fight against the Eagle Kingdom, should we try to be on good terms with the Yellowstone Kingdom and not offend the royal family?"
"Father, I don't want to get in touch with the Yellowstone Kingdom. I just want to control the Snowstorm Duchy as a buffer to establish a foothold in the Legendary Continent … The Gray Iron Duchy is too far away and cannot be counted on. The Grand Duchy of Sapphire is located overseas and cannot be used as a proxy. The best option is the Snowstorm Duchy."
Lee William did not say anything else.
Although he was a father, the decision-making power was in Liszt's hands. Moreover, he did not think that his vision was better than that of the Dragon Knight.
After chatting for a while, the father and son walked out of the study and saw Madam Penélope walking towards them.
"Mother."
"Grandmother."
"Lee William, Liszt, is it true that Duke Andrew has passed away?" Madam Penélope asked with concern.
"Yes, mother."
"Sigh." After receiving confirmation, Madam Penélope sighed faintly. "How could Duke Andrew pass away at such a young age? He is the pillar of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. I, an old woman, have not even stepped into the soil, yet he, the monarch of a kingdom and a dignified Dragon Knight, has already stepped into the soil."
Lee William consoled her, "After all, even the Dragon Knight cannot reverse the course of life and death."
"When you and Liszt go to pay your respects, don't forget to comfort Madam Sarite for me. Although it is difficult to live alone, she still has the eldest prince and the second prince to look after her … Many years ago, I accompanied Madam Sarite in the palace. She was so beautiful at that time, but in the blink of an eye, everyone is half buried."
When one was old, they liked to reminisce and sigh with emotion. The death of Duke Andrew had touched Madam Penélope greatly and she talked a lot about it.
However, for most people, the death of Duke Andrew did not bring about any restlessness.
In the Fire Kingdom, except for a small number of Knight who would talk about the Grand Duke when they went to the tavern to drink, the other nobles were completely indifferent. They were basically Knight who had sought refuge with the Eagle Kingdom. They only felt disgust towards the Sapphire Grand Duke and did not have any cordial feelings towards him. The commoners were similarly cold. Many commoners might not even know the Grand Duke except for the lord.
As for the Moonkillers, they did not even know that there were humans outside the forest a few years ago.
In short, the news of the death of Sapphire Grand Duke Andrew Sapphire did not cause any waves in the Fire Kingdom. The construction of the country was still vigorous and did not stop for even a moment.
Under such circumstances, Liszt brought A Qi back from the marine laboratory. She brought the dragon soul of the Sapphire Dragon and met up with her father Lee William. Riding the invisible dragon Bard, the gray-mouthed iron dragon Aoun, and possessing the fire dragon Leo and the bone dragon Winnie, they went straight to the Blue Sky Mountain Palace.
All the members of the Sapphire Family who had received the notice, under the leadership of Madam Sarit, solemnly welcomed Liszt and his mourning team.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Liszt, for coming. It's a pity that Andrew can no longer personally welcome Your Majesty." Madam Sarit bowed, followed by the eldest prince and the second prince. At the moment, without being conferred a title by the nominal suzerain of the Iron and Steel Ridge Kingdom, the eldest prince could not inherit the title of Sapphire Grand Duke.
Liszt helped Madam Sarit up and said solemnly, "Madam, please restrain your grief …"
