Dragon Monarch System-Novel

"Because I have spent my whole life as a soldier. I have used these hands of mine to swing a sword. I am not educated enough. I don't have any experience in this field. I am not suited to become a noble. It would be better if you appoint someone else to this position." In the end, Leon couldn't bear to disappoint the Emperor. It was not as if he was desperate. Leon was happy with his current position and with his current salary.

'He is being honest. If he was greedy then he would have accepted this position without a question.' Aditya wanted Honest people like Leon to work under him. What's the use of having talented men when you can't trust them?

"Leon, you can learn. The most important thing is taking the first step." Since the Emperor's tone had left no room for discussion, Leon could only agree. It would be deemed rude and disrespectful if he still rejected Aditya's offer.

"Alright." Leon still looked reluctant. Aditya was satisfied with Leon's reaction.

Aditya then looked at Spencer. "Spencer, make the declaration."

Spencer nodded his head. Under everyone's gaze, the Prime Minister took out a golden royal scroll.

Opening the golden royal scroll, Spencer made a few changes and added Leon's name.

Leon and the other eight former dukes kneeled before Aditya and lowered their heads.

『From this moment onward, under the order of His Majesty, the 8 anterior dukes along with Leon will be appointed as the governors of the 9 Shadow Islands. Leon, Thomas Evans, Lewis Wright, Zachary Jackson, Morgan Barrett, Charles Thompson, Nicolas Chaney, Robert Kidd, and Blake Holmes, have been given the rank of Viscount.

- 1. Ashcour Island - Viscount Leon

- 2. Summermond Island - Viscount Lewis Wright

- 3. The Enchanted Holm - Viscount Thomas Evans

- 4. Weyden Island - Viscount Zachary Jackson

- 5. Stoneminster Holm - Viscount Morgan Barrett

- 6. The Starfish Island - Viscount Charles Thompson

- 7. The Pearl Chain - Viscount Nicolas Chaney

- 8. Brisburg Island - Viscount Robert Kidd

- 9. Langboia Islands - Viscount Blake Holmes

From this moment onward, Leon, Thomas Evans, Lewis Wright, Zachary Jackson, Morgan Barrett, Charles Thompson, Nicolas Chaney, Robert Kidd, and Blake Holmes will accommodate the His Majesty and the Istarin Imperium with their heart and soul.』

『His Majesty has placed his hope and prospects on you. You are authoritatively mandated to develop your territories and live up to His Majesty's prospects.』

『From this moment onward, your souls and your bloodline will be bound to the terms and conditions of this contract. Failing to follow any one of the conditions will result in your and your family's death.

- Work to develop your territories.

- Work for the golden future of the Istarin Imperium.

- Do not do anything to apostatize the Istarin Imperium and His Majesty.』

"Now, I need a drop of your blood to make everything official." Spencer stepped towards the kneeling Viscounts. While others watched the entire process in silence.

Leon was the first one to give a drop of his blood. The drop of his blood fell on the golden royal scroll. As soon as the blood touched the royal scroll, the scroll glowed in bright white light. A few later, the bright white light dimmed down and then disappeared.

Spencer then moved to Thomas. Aditya silently watched the process. 'Normally I would have held a big grand ceremony for this kind of event but now I simply don't have time. Maybe after I am done with the Echo Nexus Empire I will hold a banquet so that all the nobles can meet each other.'

After Viscount Blake Holmes was done, Spencer closed the golden royal scroll.

"Congratulations!" After congratulating the new viscounts, Spencer returned to his original position.

"I want the nobles of the Niwen Empire to step forward." Hearing this the nobles who have been bought to the throne hall along with Elio and Gian nervously nodded their heads before stepping forward. While the newly appointed Viscounts went back and stood along with other Dragonians.

The Geography of the Niwen Empire wasn't that complex. The Niwen Empire was even bigger than the Shadow Islands Empire. The Niwen Empire is located next to the Shadow Islands Empire. Both Empires have been friends for centuries. Hence, there was no friction between them. Both Empires have always stood together.

The Niwen Empire was made up of 5 Islands. Unlike Shadow Islands where clouds prevented the sunlight from reaching the Shadow Islands 11 months out of 12 months, the Niwen Empire total opposite. The five islands that made up The Niwen Empire were big as the largest Shadow Island; big as The Enchanted Holm. The Niwen Empire was the third-largest Empire within the Western region.

The Niwen Empire is an agriculture-based economy. Around 69% of the entire Niwen Empire's revenue came from agriculture. Agriculture was the way of life for the people who lived in the Niwen Empire. The five islands that made up the Niwen Empire had fertile land. The climate and the availability of water made agriculture a very profitable occupation.

The Shadow Islands relied on the Niwen Empire for their food supply. Whether it was meat or vegetable or rice, almost everything came from Niwen Empire.

Militarily the Niwen Empire wasn't strong as the Shadow Islands Empire. The Empire had an estimation of around 500,000 troops. Among them, 500,000 troops only a few thousand troops were 3rd-order cultivators. The Niwen Empire had only two beginner 5th-order cultivators.

After Istarin Empire took over, around 100,000 troops surrendered while the other 400,000 troops were either killed or fled from the battlefield. As for the two 5th-order cultivators, Riya was the one who killed them.

Just like the Shadow Islands, Gian directly kept the capital island of the Niwen Empire under his control. While the other four Niwen Islands were controlled by four noble families. Just like Liam, Gian never allowed the political power of the four noble families to grow as this would threaten his position.

But Gian wasn't cruel as Liam. Gian had no ambition of expanding this empire. The only reason he supported Liam and Elio is that he wanted to decrease his Empire's dependency on other Empires for the supply of Mana stones.

"Istarin Emperor, don't think that I will serve you. I don't want to become a slave to the contract." Before Aditya could say anything, Duke Alexzander Burke made his position clear. Duke Alexzander saw the contract as a way of turning the nobles into slaves. Alexzander was a prideful man. Even during the reign of Gian, he never bowed his head.

Hearing this Aditya's eyes became cold. Aditya wasn't offended by the fact that Duke Alexzander refused his offer even before he could say anything. He was offended by Duke Alexzander's attitude.

Bang!

Riya angrily stomped the ground with her right foot. The power from her right leg caused spider web-like cracks to appear around her.

At this moment, the goddess's eyes were glowing in cold green. Seeing her gaze, Alexzander's body started shaking. Drops of sweat began rolling down his face. Alexzander felt as if he was staring at the goddess of death. His body felt heavy. He knew that his next mouth could be the end of his life.

"Watch your tongue peasant. Say another rude word to Aditya and I swear on my husband's name, I will slaughter your entire family right before your eyes." Riya's words weren't just empty threats. If this man really said another rude thing to Aditya, then no one can stop her from slaughtering this man's entire family and his bloodline.

In Riya's eyes, even a man like Duke Alexzander was a peasant. After all, Riya was the Goddess of Nature. She was the princess of The Celestial Terrain continent. Even 0.1% of Riya's wealth can buy this man at least 100 times.

Normally Riya isn't the type to look down on others. The goddess of Nature believed that every being that Nature has created was equal and important to this world.

However, the Yandere goddess wouldn't tolerate it if her husband is disrespected right before her. 'I would have killed this man if Aditya wasn't here.' Riya tightly clenched her fists in anger. She felt her blood boiling. The kind and merciful goddess wouldn't feel any guilt or regret if she slaughters this man's entire family right now.

Hearing Riya's words, not just Alexzander, but also the other three ex-nobles of the Niwen Empire stepped back while looking at Riya in fear. They were afraid. Looking at her face, who knows when this woman might end their life. After all, she was a beginner 5th-order cultivator.

"Aditya, let me kill this guy." Riya gritted her teeth and look at Alexzander as if she was looking at her prey. Seeing this Alexzander took a few steps back in fear.

The generals, Spencer, the Dragonians, and Viscounts frowned and gave Alexzander cold gazes.

"There is no need to dirty your beautiful hands." Aditya took out another chair and placed the chair next to his.

"Sit down." Like an obedient child, the goddess quickly calmed down and sat down. Aditya then held her right hand making the goddess smile in happiness.

Seeing this others were dumbfounded. Just a second ago, this woman was looking like a wild animal that couldn't wait to kill Alexzander. But now this woman changed into a gentle wife.

'If I let Riya do whatever she wants, I am sure she will end up destroying this whole place.' Aditya knew that his 3rd wife had Yandere tendencies. It's not that he hated her personality or anything. He found her Yandere personality to be cute and charming to a certain extent and only to a certain extent. Too much obsession and possessiveness weren't healthy at all.
