----------------------------------

A week went after the dragons incident where Terania and Vita killed them all, and some pretty interesting things happened. The first three days, the black elves tribe came to me to pleadge their loyalty.

It's a forest where the weak follows the strong, so automatically after defeating the strongest, I became the one to rule these lands. The dark elfes fearing for their lives came to ask mercy to let them live peacefully.

What I decided alongside Diablo is to regroup them with the elves and vampires at the village. That village was growing very rapidly, both in population and structures.

After hearing the rumors of a village ruled by the one who rules Mariol forest, and that this village is peaceful where all races live peacfully, most of the people of the forest, be it beast men, goblins and even witches came to see this place on their own eyes, and after witnessing the truth, they decided to live there.

As for the other aspects, it started to become financially free, trades and markets were established using the gold of the castle. The only problem is that aside from warriors, butchers and lumberjacks there are no real specialities.

We still need blacksmiths, merchants and many other things. Of course I could provide them with these people or knowlege from my own castle, but I will wait and send specialists from the Lanister kingdom after I make it mine.

Also we discovered weird sand movements at the eastern north of the castle near the beach, but Diablo said that we can ignore them for now since there are a lot of things to do still.

But all of this progress credits goes to the one I made him in charge of the village, Gojo Satoru. He was doing great work by managing everyone there, and the decisions he made were very wise and studied. Of course he was taking some advices from Diablo from time to time, but most of that was his hard work.

Also for the Lanister kingdom, they finaly gathered their troops and started marching today. The spies report a total number of men going around the 310 000, and that the neighboring Chemores kingdom helped them military and financely.

They usually would've used teleportation gates to travel these long distances between kingdoms, but Mariol dosen't have any so they will need 20 days to reach us. Alongside Laila and Diablo we reached an aggrement to wait 10 day so that they get close to the borders, and then Valkyrie will go to them.

Of course I will pay back the Chemores kingdom later for supporting my enemy, but everything has a time. And todays time is to go visit the Village. As I stepped out of my beautiful, majestic castle, the morning sun bathed the grand structure in a warm, golden light. My royal guards, clad in resplendent armor, lined the path that led to my awaiting carriage.

I descended the grand staircase, adorned in regal attire, with a flowing robe that trailed behind me. The forest that surrounded my castle, the very same forest where my people and I lived in harmony, whispered with life as I made my way toward the elegant carriage.

The carriage, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, was drawn by a pair of magnificent horses, Midnight and Snowflake. Their ebony and alabaster coats shimmered, and their manes were adorned with ornate silver braids. The carriage itself was embellished with intricate carvings and gilded accents, fit for a king.

Today im only accompagned by Blanc, my maid, there was no need for any gods now for two reason. There is no strong entities left on this forest, and Gojo will be there so he will act as my guard while I do what I came for.

I entered the carriage Blanc following me, and a loyal coachman, a weathered but skilled man greeted me with a respectful bow. With a flick of his reins, we set off toward the named village in the heart of the forest.

The forest's ancient trees towered overhead, creating a lush canopy that filtered the sunlight and cast dappled shadows on our path. As we approached the village, I marveled at the village's rustic charm and how they progressed so fast.

The thatched cottages and quaint market square exuded a simple, timeless beauty. Villagers lined the streets, their faces beaming with joy contrary to when I first came here, respect and smiles came on the faces of those caught sight and reconised their king, proof that my hard work wasn't wasted.

Upon arriving, I stepped out of the carriage to the cheers of my subjects, and Gojo appeared out of nowhere, kneeling down in front of me.

"Sup Gojo, how have you been." I smiled at him.

"It has been a while since I saw you your majesty, im doing very well. What about you?" He asked.

"Good, good, you may rise. I came here to talk to the villagers, gather all of them here." I ordered.

"At once my lord." He stood up, turned towards the village and stepped forward. With a strong, resonant voice, he called out. "Good people gather around and lend your ears to his majesty the Dragon Monarch!"

As the villagers of mixed races hushed, they formed a semi-circle, their eyes fixed on Gojo and then on me. I watched their faces, a mix of curiosity and reverence.

Gojo continued. "Our wise and merciful king, who rules these lands, wishes to address us today. He comes to us as a ruler, eager to hear our voices and share his own wisdom."

I nodded to Gojo, acknowledging his introduction, and began to speak to my subjects. Gathered in the heart of the village, the villagers of mixed races stood before me, their eyes filled with anticipation and a mixture of hope and trepidation.

The sun cast long shadows in the village square, and the quiet murmurs of the forest surrounded us, a stark contrast to the urgency of the message I was about to deliver.

With a regal demeanor, I addressed my people. "Dear citizens of these lands, I stand before you today not just as your king but as a protector, a guardian of this village and forest, and the diverse beautiful people who call it home.

We are a unique community, a blend of races and backgrounds, bound by a common love and solidarity for this enchanted forest and a shared vision of a better future."

I continued, my voice resonating with authority, "I have received word that an army approaches our borders, threatening the harmony we've built so far. But fear not, for I will stand firm in defense of our home. My powers, as your dragon monarch, will be a formidable shield against any who dare to threaten us. I will ensure that this village remains safe, and our people protected."

The crowd nodded in solemn agreement, their faith in my abilities evident in their eyes. "Today, I stand before you with a vision for our future, a future that holds promise and prosperity for all.

I know some of you are new here and dont know how things will be going, but I will make it that we become united and harmonious community, and this village here is destinated to rise as a city that will become a beacon of hope and a haven for all races, a city that will stand as a testament to our unity and shared dreams.

I hereby declare that our kingdom shall be known as The Dragon Kingdom, a name that echoes the greatness of ancient civilizations. And the city we shall create, a city of unparalleled beauty, culture, and prosperity, will bear the name Babylon, a place where the values of unity, diversity, and justice will be upheld.

Let us embark on this journey together, hand in hand, and with unwavering determination. The Dragon Kingdom and Babylon will become symbols of our collective strength and vision. We will create a place where everyone can live a life worthy of any living being, and our shared future will shine brightly for generations to come."

The villagers bearing these words filled with confidence and determination erupt into cheers and applause, their hearts filled with hope and excitement for the future. But seeing that I still havent finished, they once again became silent to let me speak.

With unwavering determination, I declared. "But I vow to you all that our strength will not end at mere defense. I promise to make the strongest and most prosperous city in all matters. Our economy will thrive, our culture will flourish, and our education will be unmatched.

I will create an adventurer's guild, and I shall make the head quarter of the whole branch in this city. Every individual, regardless of race, will have the opportunity to live a good life, one that is worthy of any living being. Together, we will create a utopia right here in the heart of the forest.

Now dear citizen, feel honored and proud to call yourselves people of The Dragon Kingdom the crountry that shall stand at the top of the world chain, and citizen of it's capital!" I finalized my speech with my fist in the air.

As I concluded my speech, the villagers erupted into cheers and applause, their concerns replaced by a renewed sense of hope. In their eyes, I saw not only faith in me, but the determination to stand by my side and make our shared vision a reality.

"Wonderful words your majesty, these people are truly lucky and honored to have you as their king." Blanc said with a proud smile.

"Indeed Nouflex-sama, these lowly beings shall serve you well for your cause." Gojo expressed.

"Gojo, these are my people, and once someone show me his unwavering loyalty and submission he become one of my people. And I refuse to have my own people called lowly beings, don't forget that." I explained to him.

"Please forgive for my ignorance my lord, it shall never be done again." He quickly lowered himself, apologizing.

"It's okay, anyways I am done here so I will go to deal with other matters. As for you Gojo, I will leave Babylon in your care for now." I walked back to my carriage.
