Every great noble in the Dragon Kingdom is infinitely loyal to their country, but loyalty to the country does not mean loyalty to the king himself, and loyalty to the king himself will not automatically extend to his heirs.
Just like in a group of dragons, the most powerful dragon becomes the leader of the group. Nine years ago, the Marquises believed that their family should compete for the throne.
Du Sen's rise to the top is just the result of constant compromises. Just because he can rise to the top does not mean that Li Qi can rise too.
The great nobles have been in private contact and colluding for a long time, and Li Qi did not sit still and waited for death. He frantically carried out marriages to stabilize various relationships.
Finally, on the day when he was awarded the title of Duke, Li Qi was ready to test the loyalty of the marquis' heirs. Of course, he knew that Gu Leiya was being tried by the Blue Dragon family to marry Lant, and he also knew that Gu Leiya would not agree to marry him. Give it to yourself. After all, they grew up together. Gu Leiya is known as a noble person in the aristocratic circle. How could she tolerate becoming his 16th wife.
But precisely because it will not succeed, proposing is the lowest-cost test method. As a direct descendant of the legendary dragon, Gu Leiya, if she becomes Li Qi's wife, Li Qi is likely to be promoted to legend together with Gu Leiya in the future and become the legendary king. Not to mention enjoying the throne for a hundred years, the Bai Xiao family will definitely become a legendary family from now on.
This will inevitably make the three major families of Elk, Feilong and Blue Lion dissatisfied. If the three families directly join forces to stop the prince, it will confirm the news that the three families have formed a private alliance, and it will be seen by the legends including the Queen.
If the three families don't stop her, Li Qi will naturally not be able to marry Gu Leiya, but he can continue to marry the Blue Dragon family to secure the future throne. Li Qi did not dare to waste this opportunity, and did not care whether Gu Leiya or others would be harmed, because there was no lower-cost method than such a test.
Since the proposal is just a conspiracy of the future Dragon King, it is a complete loyalty test. Naturally, such a fool must ask Tyriana Dragonblood for instructions in advance. With the Fairy Queen here, it is impossible for the three legends to get angry on the spot.
Lant must also be notified in advance through the big goblin to prevent Lant from rushing to the front and other nobles hiding behind Lant.
The nobles, Guozhu, and Gu Leiya were all fishing rods and baits in Li Qi's hands. The three nobles were like big fish hiding in the water plants. Now Li Qi gently dropped the bait, and the three fish were indeed hooked.
The fierce words and unanimous attitudes of the three heirs showed that the contact between them was more than what appeared on the surface, and the alliance was closer than rumored. Li Qi himself probably knew that the nobles did not have much time left for him.
. . . . .
Looking at the three red-faced heirs of the marquis, Lant grabbed the eldest son of the Fengjun family, the big fairy Riel specially greeted him, and Susie Lanyuan specially tested her attitude, all for Li Qi's proposal.
The strange thing is that Li Qi's entire proposal process was just a question to Gu Leiya, and then his focus was on debating with three noble heirs.
The quarrels between nobles will only be about rights, not simply about marriage. Rand is involved now because his life is too long. It is best to stay away and just watch the gossip.
"Your Highness the Duke, we have no intention to accuse you, but as far as I know, Gu Leiya is engaged in an engagement. Will you not cause the reputation of both parties to the engagement to suffer? Viscount Lant Galloping Horse, don't you want to say What?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Heine Feilong finally directed his saliva to Lant.
Suddenly, Rant felt like he was hit by a ray of light, and all the eyes of the audience were focused on him.
"Lord Viscount? What did you say?" Lant said this, but in his heart he was thinking: I have nothing to say, please don't bother me!
For a moment, Lant hoped that there would really be a marriage contract with Gu Leiya, so that he could stand up and scold all the nobles in front of him, and stay away from our dragon girl! But having traveled through time, he hopes that he is not with a girl because of an engagement or marriage. In his previous life, he was on a blind date. In this life, he wants to fall in love more while he is young.
"Lord Lant, please tell us, are you engaged to Gu Leiya?" Jacob Elk walked over directly and made it clear to Lant.
"No, I must remind you, Baron Jacob, Ms. Gulea is not only a teacher in my school, but also a hero of our entire northwest. No matter how much I admire her, I fully support Ms. Gulea in deciding her own marriage. ." Lant's words were very firm, and in his peripheral vision, he saw Liel Qiaomu's pleased smile.
At this time, McLaren also gave Lant a high look. Lant did not acknowledge the engagement, not to offend Li Qi and the Fairy Queen, nor did he say that he would not marry Gu Leiya until he died, leaving a way out for the Lanlong family. .
"No... this... this is impossible." Jacob was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lant hadn't made a move yet. This kid wouldn't really go to Blue Dragon School to study, would he?
"No? No way, hasn't it been decided a long time ago?" Everyone in the venue began to whisper in earnest.
"Of course not!" Just as the banquet hall gradually became noisy, two figures appeared at the door of the banquet hall at the right time. The two of them walked to Gu Leiya as quickly as a gust of wind. Their strong aura made the space around the dragon girl clear. Much bigger.
"Thank you, Lord Duke, for taking care of my sister-in-law. She can only decide who my sister will marry," the taller one said.
Both of them are as tall as King Toussaint White Owl, and are the standard height of the Golden Knight. They are Guleiya's biological brothers, Gutov Blue Dragon and Guqilav Blue Dragon. Both of them are legendary giants. The favored one of dragon mage Revendia is a very rare pure-blooded dragon descendant in the blue dragon family.
"These two are Guleiya's brothers, both golden knights in their early 30s," Fernando Maned Wolf said while swallowing his saliva. Some people want what they want most in their lives, while others have it since they were born.
It's up to the parents to resolve the children's farce. Guleiya's brothers appeared, signaling that the proposal turmoil was over.
"Of course... neither did I..." The golden knight's pressure on the middle class made Duke Li Qi feel a little uncomfortable. However, he dragged Gu Leiya to act. After all, he didn't say hello in advance. Now his brother is looking for him. After coming over, Li Qi didn't dare to say anything.
"You two have misunderstood Li Qi." The Fairy Queen Tyriana Dragonblood finally spoke. Gutov and Guqilav hurriedly saluted when they saw the Fairy Queen.
"Li Qi and Gu Leiya grew up, and they were also afraid that she would be wronged," the queen's voice was gentle and delicate, but the pressure of the two golden knights had been washed away. "I also watched Gu Leiya grow up, If anyone dares to force her to get married, I will not agree to it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The three Blue Dragon brothers and sisters bowed and saluted, and the storm came to an abrupt end.
Lant watched Gu Leiya being taken away by his brothers. The moment before going out, the dragon girl looked at him.
