It was a document saying we both will maintain a friendly relationship and help each other in need.
It also had a hole, just like now while they were in trouble in the east nation which had established a friendly relationship with them and was helping them out by selling their resources.
But it was overpriced and had no other options they were buying it,
After the king dropped his blood on the document, I also dropped my blood, and the agreement/Document vanished into thin air.
Is that all? , I thought in my head.
Suddenly castle status window appeared
In the friend section, there was Riya but now there was another section "Allies".
In the allies section, there was the "Kingdom of Mary".
And there was another notification on the castle status window.
[ Congratulation on the establishment of your Dukedom, You have now obtained Local Authority ]
Local authority
• Can invade the territory of Neutral State Lords.
• When you destroy a 'Castle building', defenders will have to pay ten times the usual amount to repair it.
. Castle lords have obtained the title "Duchesses", Locals will now view you as Duchesses of Dukedom of Alice.
Dukedom of Alice? The name sounds so bad and later if becomes an empire it will be an empire of Alice.
Can't I give it a fancy name like the Dukedom of the dragon, Dragon kingdom, Empire of great dragons, etc which sounds cool?
[ Are you sure you want to change your castle name from Alice To the dragon, you can change it again after 6 month
I hurriedly clicked yes.
[ Congratulations your name have been successfully changed to Dukedom of Dragons ]
******
Everything was done as I was about to leave...
"Umm...Hero are you married? " the kind asked me a question out of nowhere
"No... not yet " it was kinda embarrassing to reply, why does he plan to give her daughter to me.
"ooh...nice, I have a daughter, I would like to give her a hand in marriage " the king asked with a smile.
"I refuse," I said hurriedly, he plan to marry me to his daughter, I thought this kind of shit exists only in stories.
Maybe he wanna give her a daughter seeing how rich I am, after all, who is willing to let go of the golden goose?
"ho ho ho, you can refuse once you meet her," the king said he seems confident I will change my decision after meeting her.
King whispered into one of the guard's ears and the guard left.
It seems he is calling his daughter.
*******
Alice who got the notification seems happy after getting the local authority.
But seeing the name of the castle was changed she was angry.
But she let go of her anger remembering his handsome face. She also has another purpose which is to find her parent's murderer.
The only thing she knows about the cause of her parent's Deaths is "Heart of Lotus". It was loot from a dangerous dungeon and it works as the second heart which provides hyper regeneration.
It is also believed this heart can make you immortal as you never die, all your wounds are healed in a second, and aging will also stop.
"Finn " Alice shouted...
A dangerous dragon appeared in front of her, it was the same dragon that bell summoned and was equally powerful as 36-winged Angel 'Minos '.
Since her territory is neutral she doesn't have to care about its protection cause unlike her she believed no other Castle lord has local authority.
"Take all other troops and find out about the Item 'Heart of Lotus' " she ordered him.
Unlike her first summoned troops, these troops have absolute loyalty of a hundred and it was locked meaning they were absolutely loyal to the castle.
After hearing the order, the dragon looked at A small dragon.
It was named "Zilong" and was the general commander of their troops.
It seems he wants to confirm with Zilong whether he should go or not.
He was indeed loyal to the castle but not to Alice.
Sewing how Finn doesn't care about her order and looking at the small dragon, she was annoyed.
It was also the work of that scam hero who can produce resources out of thin air.
Ufffffff!
She took a long breath "ok Zilong you also go with them and lead them " she says looking at Zilong.
Cause Zilong was the only one who listened to her and her troops listened to Zilong so, she have to send Ziling too.
She believed Zilong wouldn't be powerful and hold others back but having no other options she decided to let Zilong follow them.
All the troops in her army are now lvl 13 and each has stats higher than 80,000 so she didn't doubt anyone can beat them.
Just like Bell, Zilong's status window was also something she couldn't read.
So she assume he was also weak and with that, I'm a body there was more reason to believe he was weak.
....
Zilong seems happy when he heard he can lead these troops and go out.
Since he wanted to experience the outer world he hurriedly left before Alice could change her mind.
So, Zilong and the army of the strongest mythical beings went to search for the "Heart of lotus" and anything related to it.
