Dragon Monarch System

"Your Majesty, I have important news to share. The four Western Empires have surrendered. Your troops have instilled fear in them, and they have also heard about the defeat of the Oracle Alliance," The Prime Minister reported.

Aditya, sitting on his throne, nodded with satisfaction. He took a sip of the herbal tea that his advisor and his butler, Watson, had prepared for him. "That's more good news for the Istarin Empire," he remarked, savoring the soothing taste.

"The four Western Empires have agreed to sign a non-aggression pact with the Istarin Empire. Additionally, they have decided to offer 500 million gold coins as compensation for their actions," The Prime Minister continued.

Aditya nodded again, pleased with the outcome. "It's good that those fools have realized their mistakes and surrendered. Otherwise, I wouldn't have spared them," He stated a hint of satisfaction in his voice. Finally, the Istarin Empire could enjoy a period of peace. The time had come to focus on developing the newly acquired territories, improving the lives of their people, and strengthening their military might.

Aditya felt a surge of strength within him. After transforming 20,000 soldiers into Dragonians simultaneously, he experienced a brief period of weakness. During that time, he faced some of the toughest challenges of his life. Thankfully, fortune favored him, and he emerged victorious.

Curiosity piqued, Aditya took another sip of tea, then set his cup down on the nearby table, fixing his gaze on Spencer.

"What is it, Spencer?" he inquired, his voice filled with anticipation.

"Your Majesty, it concerns the Hephaestus Kingdom," Spencer began, his tone grave. Aditya's expression grew serious as he listened intently.

"King Adian has suffered significant losses in his troops. He currently lacks the forces needed to suppress the rebels that have risen in the Methia Empire," Spencer explained. The Hephaestus Kingdom had been granted control over the Methia Empire, but the nobles, royal family, generals, and other political figures within Methia were reluctant to relinquish their power. Some surrendered but most decided to rebel. Similar challenges were faced by the Istarin Empire when they claimed the Echo Nexus Empire, the Queenstown Empire, and the Uzacan Empire. The Echo Dominion Empire had also faced similar resistance.

Aditya processed the information, contemplating the situation. The Hephaestus Kingdom's struggle to gain control over the Methia Empire posed a serious concern. The stability of their newfound alliance hinged on resolving this issue.

Aditya had a lot on his mind, dealing with important matters within the Istarin Empire. Unfortunately, amidst all the chaos, he completely forgot about the Hephaestus Kingdom, a loyal ally facing their own challenges. As this realization struck him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

"I'm sorry," Aditya admitted, sounding genuinely remorseful. "I've been so caught up in the affairs of our empire that I neglected the Hephaestus Kingdom. They need our help, and I let it slip my mind."

Spencer, understanding the immense burden Aditya carried, nodded sympathetically. "Your Majesty, it's understandable. You have so much on your plate, especially with our recent expansions. But we must act quickly to support our ally and preserve our alliance."

Taking a moment to reflect, Aditya agreed with Spencer's assessment. "You're right, Spencer. We can't delay any longer. The Hephaestus Kingdom has been there for us in our times of need, and it's our duty to return the favor."

The Hephaestus Kingdom, a crucial ally, was facing a significant challenge. King Adian had lost a substantial portion of his troops, leaving him ill-equipped to handle the rebel uprising in the Methia Empire. Aditya, deep in thought, understood the gravity of the situation. His own troops were already stretched thin, with over 2,000,000 soldiers engaged in suppressing rebel groups in the newly acquired territories. The remaining forces had been deployed to deal with the Four Western Region Empires, and they had yet to return.

Aditya pondered his options, knowing that immediate assistance was necessary for the Hephaestus Kingdom. He couldn't spare any of his troops, as they were already committed to crucial tasks. However, a possible solution emerged in his mind. The Emperor contemplated reaching out to the Echo Dominion Empire for aid. Their alliance had been forged on the principles of unity and cooperation, and now was the time to put those principles into action.

A sense of relief crossed Spencer's face as he saw Aditya's determination. "Absolutely, Your Majesty. I suggest we urgently reach out to the Echo Dominion Empire and ask for their assistance. Our alliance is built on unity and cooperation, and now is the time to show our commitment to those values."

"I was also thinking the same." Aditya nodded, his resolve growing stronger.

"Get a letter ready immediately. We need to apologize for the delay and ask for their support. Let them know we understand the seriousness of the situation in the Hephaestus Kingdom and how urgent their aid is."

Spencer, grateful for Aditya's decisive response, smiled appreciatively. "I'll start drafting the letter right away, Your Majesty. We'll emphasize the importance of our alliance and the need to stand together during challenging times."

Aditya expressed his gratitude to Spencer, recognizing his dedication. "Thank you, Spencer. Your quick action means a lot. Let's make sure the Hephaestus Kingdom knows we're fully committed to supporting them."

Aditya watched as Spencer hurried off to draft the urgent letter. Aditya couldn't help but feel a sense of responsibility for his forgetfulness and the impact it had on their allies. 'I must be careful to not repeat the same mistake again.'

Aditya sat on his throne, deep in thought, contemplating the urgent plans he needed to make. Determined not to overlook anything, he focused on the tasks at hand.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps broke the silence, and Watson, his trusted personal butler, and advisor, entered the throne hall. Aditya welcomed his arrival, feeling it was perfect timing.

"Watson, you've come at just the right moment," Aditya said, addressing his loyal companion. "Could you please write letters to all the nobles of our empire, requesting their presence tomorrow? Due to the ongoing war, we haven't had the opportunity to hold a proper ceremony for the new nobles. I want to organize a royal banquet, where all the nobles can come together. It's essential to foster unity and promote peace within our empire. I believe it's important for our nobles to meet one another."

As the Istarin Empire continued to expand, the number of nobles serving the throne also increased. Aditya recognized the significance of the nobles familiarizing themselves with each other. This royal banquet would provide an opportunity for them to connect and establish relationships.

Aditya acknowledged that this was his first time hosting such a social gathering. While he had previously considered such events unimportant, he now realized the value of social gatherings as an essential step in maintaining harmony and cohesion within his empire.

Aditya asked Watson, "Can you make all the arrangements?"

Watson replied confidently, "Yes, Your Majesty. You can trust me to handle everything. I'm good at organizing events, and I won't disappoint you."

Aditya smiled and said, "That's great! I believe in you, Watson. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's always a pleasure to serve you, Your Majesty," Watson said respectfully, bowing to Aditya before leaving the throne hall. Aditya couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

Scene change________

At Julia's Laboratory,

Julia, Riya, and Lara had surrounded Alicia and was asking her many kinds of questions. The girls were still wearing black clothes that they had worn in the morning. It was evening time. Since Aditya was working, the girls came to Julia's laboratory to talk.

"Yesterday, you spent the whole day and night with Aditya."

"How was your experience?"

".....Which experience are you talking about?"

"You know.......That one..." Riya hinted looking at Julia. The goddess of wealth then understood what she was talking about.

Alicia lowered her head as her cheeks flushed. "No, we haven't done it yet."

"What? I thought you two would surely do it." Julia looked very surprised.

"Last night, I was just too tired. After dinner, I fell asleep while working. When Aditya returned, he found me sleeping so......" Even Alicia sounded a little disappointed in herself.

"So nothing happened." Riya, Julia, and Lara looked at each other.

"Something more interesting happened yesterday."

"Spencer fell for an Ice Elven Girl belonging to a small tribe." No matter which world it was, girls loved to gossip and the same thing was happening here. Slowly but surely, Julia's laboratory was turning into the girl's meeting spot. Nowadays, the girls met here and talked about many things.

Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
