I, The Dragon Overlord Chapter 470

“Sorry, Your Highness! I will only serve the future king. Whether His Highness Alrich or Amos gets the throne, I will serve them.”

Derek sighed. He knew why the princess had come up to him. Even if she was slow in politics, she already had a sense of crisis. No matter who became king, this popular princess would not end up in a good place.

If she could obtain the help of this legendary rank warrior, she would have a chance to get rid of her fate.

But Derek was not stupid. He was not willing to participate in the royal family's power struggle for power and profit, especially now that the gods have recovered.

With the return of the gods, the major churches began to rapidly develop. With the gifts and blessings of the true gods, the major churches would always have one or two powerhouses that could kill even powerful legendary rank powerhouses if they were careless.

Derek had to first become a demigod in order to have a place in this treacherous world, but he had been having great difficulty in crossing the final step to do so.

To become a demigod, he only needed to obtain some divinity and completely comprehend it. Many high-ranking legendary powerhouses had obtained divinity, but they still weren't able to get past the final threshold and die when their life span ended.

Derek understood his own situation very well. First of all, he did not have any divinity. Second, even if he had divinity, the chances of becoming a demigod were less than 30%. He did not dare use his own future and take a gamble.

“Lord Derek, you said that you would only serve the king, then if I become king, will you also serve me?”

Andrea asked jokingly in a very naive tone.

After hearing the princess' words, Derek didn't think much about it and chuckled, “Of course. If Your Highness can become the king, I will also serve you.”

“Please don't blame me for this, Your Highness! Although Crown Prince Alrich and Prince Amos are not being supported by any gods, they have churches backing them. The two princes had already made a promise to the churches behind them that they would open the gates of the kingdom to allow them to spread their faith to the millions of people of the Subila Kingdom.”

For the gods, it did not matter which prince was victorious. The gods would all receive the fruits of their victory, and we mortals are unable to grasp our own destiny in the face of them.”

Derek smiled bitterly.

Before the era of the gods, he was a high-ranking legendary powerhouse, who stood atop everything and looked down on everything. People without divinity simply became obsolete existences.

“I understand what you mean, Lord Derek. Even if I were to become queen, I would have no choice but to cooperate with the gods.”

Andrea smiled mournfully. The sadness in her charming expression was enough to make other people feel her sorrow.

Derek turned his head away from her and only stayed silent.

Andrea turned away and lowered her head like a butterfly entangled in a spider's web. At any time, she would become the food that sated the spider's hunger.

But no one noticed one thing. Andrea took out a small wooden carving from under her dress which had an inscription of the holy emblem of the Church of the Dragon God.

'Lord Louie, I hope you can help me.'

She prayed silently. Although Louie had promised to help her ascend to the throne, Andrea was still apprehensive inside. What they had was just a verbal agreement and Louie could change his mind at any time.

Of course, Andrea knew the price she had to pay: her body, her womb, and the secrets hidden deep inside her heart.

“Your Highness!”

As Andrea returned to her bedchamber, she heard an anxious voice.

She raised her head and saw that the one looking at her worriedly was the head of her guards, Corwin. He was a young man who by virtue of his own efforts became a ninth-rank warrior and was one step short of reaching the legendary rank.

But just as Derek had his own difficulties on the road to becoming a demigod, he too had his own difficulties on the road to becoming a legendary rank powerhouse. Moreover, desperate efforts could no longer help him reach that level. To reach that level, he had to obtain a legendary degree which was recognition of the people, which was almost impossible in the current era.

“I'm fine, Corwin. I was rejected again today and still haven't seen my father.”

Andrea said mournfully, which made Corwin's heartache.

As the head of her guards, he, like many subjects of the kingdom, adored the princess. He marveled at her beautiful face and even felt lucky to become the head of her guards, knowing that with his strength he did not deserve this honor.

For this reason, Corwin had been working hard on training himself and was able to reach the level of a ninth-rank warrior at such a young age. He could already be called a genius.

But he also knew that with his strength alone, it was impossible for him to obtain the princess. Even so, he silently protected his beloved princess.

Seeing the princess' pale and sad face, he resented himself, but at the same time, a demon in his heart was growing, gradually eroding him with an impulse.

In the past, the princess was like a pearl. For men like him, let alone being able to obtain her, even just being able to see her was a luxury.

But now, things were different. The princess was close to the end of the road. Her future was nearly doomed. Perhaps… perhaps he might also have a chance?

Thinking like this, Corwin no longer restrained his impulse and grabbed Andrea's wrist. He plucked up the courage and spoke with a hoarse voice, “Your Highness, please leave with me! Whether it is His Highness Alrich or His Highness Amos, they won't let you go once they become king… They will use you as a bargaining chip, or even make you… make you into their plaything!”

“Let me take you away from here, Your Highness! I will protect you from harm and spend the rest of my life taking care of you! From the moment I first saw you, I have fallen deeply in love with you!”

Corwin spoke with all his emotion. In his excitement, the hand holding on the princess' wrist became more and more forceful.

He did not want his beloved princess to become a political sacrifice. He wanted to reach a fairytale-like ending of the beautiful princess marrying the knight.

Andrea was at first shocked. She did not expect Corwin to be so bold. With slight anger and a hint of irritation on her delicate face, she rebuked, “Let go of my hand, Corwin! Do you know what you're doing? If you let go now, I can pretend that I did not hear what you said. I am Andrea Abel Subila, the royal daughter of the Subila Kingdom. Even if my future is doomed, I will not choose to run away and choose to face it bravely!”

This was the first time Corwin saw the princess get angry. He panicked and hurriedly let go of her hand. He fell to one knee and fell even deeper in love with the princess. She was so strong, so beautiful, and possessed an enchanting air of pride.

“Corwin, you should stand down and cool off.”

“I-I apologize, Your Highness! I had offended you.”

Corwin bowed his head and left in shame.

Looking at her guard, Andrea's elegant lips curled up in mockery, “Knight and princess? That's just a fairytale used to fool children. In reality, the princess will always be with the evil dragon!”

“My pure body is a gift to be dedicated to the Dragon God. How can I allow you to desecrate it?!”
