Chapter 22 Lord Dragon Diding borrows books from a coffin?!
Buying things? Or trying to please the dragon in my dreams?
A caravan was formed just to buy things from all over the kingdom? To curry favor with the dragon in his dreams?
Anna stared at Sophia for a while, then raised her hand to her forehead. This kind of seemingly unreliable thing was something her prince was capable of doing.
However, if Your Highness can truly use items from the human world to strengthen the relationship with the Dream Dragon, and even establish a caravan specifically for the Dream Dragon... then it would be worthwhile.
I wonder just how powerful the dragon in Princess Sophia's dream was.
Anna thought of the dragon scale that had appeared on Sophia's chest. Could it be that, as Princess Sophia said, the dragon scale was not a curse, but a gift from the dragon in her dream?
"Your Highness, how powerful is the dragon in your dream world? Can it protect you?"
"Very strong, very strong." Sophia recalled the image of the dragon Diding crushing the alien corpse's head with its claws. "It can also protect me. The dragon in my dream saved my life last night."
"?!"
The dragon in the dream world actually saved His Highness's life last night?!
Anna didn't believe that Princess Sophia would lie. Based on her understanding of the princess, she wouldn't deliberately glorify someone or make malicious assumptions about them.
"There is no problem in setting up a caravan. Who does Your Highness intend to appoint as the caravan leader? Also, the caravan travels all over the country and may encounter many unforeseen dangers, so it will also need guards."
"Why not just draw guards directly from the army? Or simply dispatch an elite army to protect the caravan?"
Anna shook her head: "When caravans travel all over the country, it's best to choose guards who have traveled throughout the kingdom, such as adventurers or mercenaries."
When looking for such people, there is another issue to be aware of: you need to make sure they won't be tempted by money and kill the caravan members halfway through the journey.
Does Your Highness have someone in mind for such a person?
"....."
Sofia's lips twitched slightly. Is setting up a caravan really that troublesome?
Her purpose in establishing the caravan was to have it travel throughout the kingdom to purchase local specialty fruit and vegetable seeds, as well as various local products.
It's unlikely that the dragon Destin will succeed in cultivating seeds in Hell, given the environment there—no sun, and rain... which can breed monsters.
Anyway, buying more seeds for the dragon Destin to cultivate is definitely the right thing to do.
Setting up a caravan is a bit troublesome, but it still has to be done.
As for the leader of the caravan, Sophia already had someone in mind: head maid Emily was very suitable to be the leader of the caravan.
As for guards, let Anna go into the city and help her find some, or let the Minister of Agriculture, Connor, recommend a few people to her.
Minister Connor has been in Twin Moon City for over twenty years; if there were someone who could meet her demands, she should be able to think of them.
"The caravan still needs to be set up. As for the selection of guards for the caravan..." Sophia looked at Anna: "Anna, I'll leave this matter to you. Help me find a few candidates in the city. Hmm... you can ask Minister Connor to assist you."
"Very well, has Your Highness decided who should lead the caravan?"
"Emily".
Anna looked surprised. His Highness was actually planning to make Emily the leader of the caravan?
Is sending Emily around the world meant to toughen her up?
No, Princess Sophia probably didn't think of that. She probably just wanted to find someone trustworthy to be the caravan leader.
Emily, the head maid, is just right.
"Any news from the Flower Language Plains?"
"Yes, some vegetables over there are already ripe and ready to be harvested, and there's also wheat. In another ten days or so, the wheat will be ready for harvest too."
"Damn it! That stinky Queen Eileen doesn't need to govern the Flower Language Plain at all. With its unique climate and topography, anyone could make the people there live in peace and prosperity, with no worries about food and drink."
Sophia angrily pounded the rocking chair a few times. The vegetables in the Flower Language Plain were already ready to be harvested, but in the North, the land hadn't even been fully cultivated yet.
Hmph, luckily she had a fortuitous encounter; while she was asleep, her soul could fall into hell, where she met a giant dragon who wanted to farm in hell.
Once she transforms the barren North into a fertile, flower-filled plain, she doesn't believe that arrogant, haughty queen will still dare to look down on her!
Anna didn't dare to speak. The climate and landscape of the Flower Language Plain were indeed unique, but it was also a fact that Princess Eileen was more capable than Princess Sophia in all aspects.
Prince Victor is more capable than Princess Sofia, and his mother's family is also very powerful.
The next king will either be Princess Irene or Prince Victor.
As for Princess Sofia...
To live a peaceful and long life in the Kingdom of Roland is a victory in itself.
Besides becoming queen, a princess has no other choice.
There is another way... that is to marry a prince from a neighboring country...
His Majesty the King is not currently considering this, but that does not mean he will not consider it in the future.
"This afternoon I'm planning to buy some more chicks, piglets, and calves. Anna, will you come with me?"
"it is good."
After lunch, Sofia took Anna away from the castle to buy piglets, calves, and chicks in the city.
Tonight her soul will fall into hell. She won't let the dragon Destin touch these little animals; she'll take care of them herself, and they shouldn't be scared to death.
While Anna accompanied Sophia to buy piglets and calves, she was also looking for guards for the caravan.
At noon, she had someone inform Agriculture Minister Connor about the matter.
Minister Connor was busy and said he would contact her later.
-------
At nine o'clock in the evening, Sofia changed into her pajamas on time and lay in bed trying to fall asleep.
Around ten o'clock, Anna silently appeared in Sophia's bedroom and saw Sophia with her diary placed on her stomach, her hands resting on the diary, asleep...
Anna tiptoed to the bedside and sat down, tucking Sophia in and quietly gazing at Sophia's delicate, fair face.
She wondered, if Princess Sophia could return from the dream world, would monsters one day emerge from Princess Sophia's dream world?
"Your Highness, what kind of world is the dream world you entered?"
Sofia, whose soul had already fallen into hell, could not hear Anna's murmurs; she was now hiding behind a small mound, trembling with fear.
Not far in front of her, a huge black and red stone coffin was shaking violently, spewing out black and red smoke...
The dragon Diding stood beside the black and red stone coffin and spoke to it, "Why are you so agitated? I just wanted to borrow a few ghost books. You've lived in my house for so long, and I haven't even charged you rent. Now I'm getting angry just to borrow a few ghost books?"
"?"
Lord Distin the Dragon is looking for a coffin to borrow a book?!
Sophia, trembling behind a small mound, was startled. At that moment, she suddenly felt that the dragon Diding was a little bit evil...
