Dragon Monarch System
Chapter 268 268:- The Deal Between The Prince And The Emperor

Jordan was tricked without him even realizing it. If there was any reason why Aditya had entered into the mess of the Southern region, it would be because of the mana stone mines. Now that he had given up on his goal of conquering the northern Frost Dragon Empire, Aditya wanted to take at least one of their biggest mana stones. Now that his goal has been achieved, Aditya would make sure that Jordan becomes the next Emperor as soon as possible.

"Good. It looks like we have a deal." Aditya then took out a contract. This was a 4-star soul binding that Aditya made himself. Jordan and his butler both read the contract a few times to make sure that there was nothing shady written on the contract. Aditya watched them in amusement as he drank tea.

After reading the contract a few more times, Jordan signed the contract with the blood of his drop. Aditya also did the same. After the signing was done, Aditya gave Jordan an exact copy of the contract and then shook hands with him from now on both of them were officially allies. And also with this, he was one step closer to dominating the Southern region. Now as long as Jordan became the Emperor, no one else in the Southern region can oppose the Istarin Empire. This would also mean that the Istarin Empire would become the very first Empire to control two massive regions of the continents. This was something that has never happened in the history of the Dying Isle continent.

"Jordan, I won't waste any more of your time. A few hours later, a group of 27 powerful cultivators will come. Each of the cultivators will be powerful 3rd-order soldiers of the Istarin Empire. Keep them with you for 24 hours. I promise that even if there is an assassination, even an inch of your skin won't be harmed." Jordan nodded his head with a grateful look.

"Do you have any plans regarding how you're going to take out the church from this Empire?" The church was undoubtfully Jordan's biggest obstacle. Once the church is removed, Jordan's chances of becoming the Emperor would increase drastically.

"I will take care of the Church and keep you updated on the situation. While you take care of your siblings. If you need anything just write me a letter." Aditya could assassinate, Jordan's siblings using the shadow guardians and also remove the church but if he does all the work for Jordan then what he will do? Aditya is not his babysitter. He was here as an ally not as a babysitter. Jordan must do some work and face some struggles. Only hard times can create a capable man. If he is not under pressure, he won't become a capable King.

"Alright. Once again thank you for everything."

"There is no need for thanks. In a way, I am getting paid for this." Aditya wasn't lying. At most, it would take him from a few weeks to a month time to remove the church. In exchange, he was getting the ownership of a mana stone mine that is almost as big as the second largest mana stone mine in the Northern Frost dragon empire. The profit that Aditya will be earning from the mana stone mine is going to be in billions.

Jordan, his butler, and his maid went out of their way to see Aditya out. After Aditya left, a new and much strong flame of determination burned in Jordan's eyes.

"Send this information to all our allies. Also, try to replace out the location of my siblings." Before Aditya came to meet him, Jordan had almost given up on his dream of becoming the Emperor. But Aditya's words had reignited the flames of his dream.

The butler quietly nodded his head. Without making any sound, he then disappeared along with the wind. Now only Jordan and his maid were standing outside.

"Your Highness, do you think agreeing to give the ownership of a mana stone mine was the right choice?" The dark elf asked Jordan from behind.

Jordan did not reply. He instead gazed at the sky. After a moment of silence, he sighed and replied. "I would say that giving the ownership of the mana stone mine is just a small price to keep the Istarin Empire away from this Empire. It's a fortune that we can become their ally. Aditya has the power to take this Empire at any given time. Instead of losing the entire Empire to the Istarin King, it is better to give up one mana stone mine. Also it's not like we're not going to benefit from this alliance. We now have a very powerful ally. This alliance would bring us countless benefits. I would even say that it is a big fortune for our Empire that he personally came for an alliance."

Scene change_____

Meanwhile, Aditya easily returned to Azure city using the teleportation function of the Dragon Palace. The teleportation function gave him the ability to teleport back to the Dragon Palace or any place within 25 km range of the Dragon Palace from any place on the planet. It was a very useful ability. Even if Aditya's life is in danger and he is surrounded by enemies, he can easily teleport back to the Dragon Palace.

Aditya teleported to the old royal castle where he used to live before building the dragon Palace. Even though Aditya didn't live here anymore, many others lived here. More than 100 servants stayed here just to keep the royal castle clean.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" Watson asked. Watson thought Aditya had gone to the Southern region to meet the fifth prince.

Even Aditya was surprised to see Watson here. "I was done with my meeting a few hours earlier than I had initially thought. I decided to come here and see if the palace is being maintained properly." This place was filled with memories. It was the place from where Aditya started his journey. In the beginning, it was him, Watson, and Julia.

This palace used to be very small, old, shabby, broken and filled with cracks. But with time everything has changed. Now this palace is one of the most beautiful things in this city. It's almost bizarre to think how far Aditya really has come. The family of 3 people has now grown very big. Every day everyone worked very hard.

"What are you doing here?" Aditya wasn't expecting Watson here.

"I had some free time. I thought I should come here and see if everything is being maintained and cleaned thoroughly." After stepping down from his job as the acting Prime minister, Watson now had a lot of free time. These days, he looked very happy. Watson was like a bird that was finally free from its cage. He can now wholeheartedly do his job as the butler. He can now serve his master with all of his time and dedication. To a butler, nothing is more fulfilling than this.

"Sometimes, I kind of miss this place." In these two and half months, this was the first time Aditya came here. While everything in the Dragon Palace was of superior quality, this place was filled with memories. This palace will always have a special place in his heart.

"By the way, Watson, a few months ago, I talked to you about replaceing someone to settle down. Have you thought about it?" Watson was already very old. Without delaying any more time, he wanted his butler to get married.

Watson stood two steps behind Aditya and looked at the sky. "Your Majesty, I am happy with my current life. I have everything that I can wish for. All of my wishes have been fulfilled. I really don't see a need of getting married. Starting a family would only get in my way of doing my duties."

Aditya took two steps back and then put his arm on Watson's right shoulder. "Having a family isn't a curse. It's a blessing. It's the most fulfilling thing that a man can have. You just need to balance your family and your job. Besides, even if you marry, your wife will stay with us, together." One thing that Aditya always regretted in his previous life was the fact that he never found a family. His head and his heart were so messed up that he used to think that a family is nothing but a curse. It would become his weakness. But he was very wrong. Living as Aditya for more than eight and half months has forced him to change his thoughts.

Watson deeply thought about what Aditya said. After thinking for a while, Watson nodded his head. "I give it a try. But I will only marry if I replace someone who can understand me and not become my burden. My job will always remain my first priority." Aditya smiled and said nothing else.
