Chapter 888: Chapter 0885: Glory All Over (First Update)
The atmosphere of joy, though somewhat stiff, did not hinder the improvement of the previously tense situation; and after the Marquis of Bull Tail told a few jokes, the mood became even more cordial and friendly.
Eventually, after some mediation, a new alliance treaty was signed.
The treaty stipulated that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire must provide full support for the establishment of the Flame Kingdom. Once the Flame Kingdom was established, the Grand Duchy of Sapphire would formally become a vassal state to the Flame Kingdom, paying tribute to it. At the same time, the Flame Kingdom and Liszt’s Flame Family must ensure the security of the Grand Duchy of Sapphire.
Furthermore, the Sea of Azure Waves would be allocated to the Sapphire Family, and after the establishment of the Flame Kingdom, its influence would not extend there. However, Black Horse Island and Coral Island could be treated as leased territories of the Flame Kingdom within the Duchy of Sapphire, serving as a means of communication, with the lands belonging permanently to Liszt.
After signing the treaty, the Grand Duke felt somewhat dispirited.
It was not because he had followed Liszt, but because the lease of Coral Island and Black Horse Island within the treaty was a somewhat humiliating gesture of “cession for peace.”
Nevertheless.
Liszt needed these two islands as leaseholds.
Within the study, he spoke to the Sapphire Duke privately: “Duke Andrew, the leasehold of Coral Island and Black Horse Island is not intended to humiliate the Sapphire Family. In fact, these two islands are of great importance to me. Let me share some news with you in advance.”
“Please speak, Your Highness.” Since the treaty had already been signed, the Sapphire Duke no longer dwelled on formalities and addressed Liszt directly as Your Highness in private. This was a term befitting of someone who took on the role of a follower—otherwise, the title “Your Highness” would be preceded by the name “Liszt,” or be accompanied by a title like “Marquis of Flames,” or the esteemed “Dragon Knight.”
After the establishment of the Flame Kingdom, “Your Highness” would change to “Your Majesty.”
“The Flame Islands lie nearly seven thousand kilometers from the Sapphire Archipelago. How do you think I manage rapid transit between the two archipelagos and migrate a large number of knights and serfs for development?”
“Does this… have something to do with the Formless Dragon?” The Sapphire Duke asked uncertainly.
“Yes and no,” Liszt did not play coy. “The Magic Teleportation Array from the ancient legends truly exist. I’ve discovered an ancient Magic Teleportation Array connected to the Flame Islands, and together with Acherloides, we’ve thoroughly re
The Sapphire Duke stood up with his drink and announced loudly, “Today is a day of great significance, as His Highness Liszt has intimidated the Eagle Kingdom in the Dragon Slaying War and is sure to usher in a new golden age for our vast seas. Let us all wish His Highness Liszt glory in abundance and victory in every battle!”
“May His Highness Liszt be wrapped in glory and be undefeated in battle!” the nobility of the Blue Blood Alliance echoed as they stood and raised their glasses in agreement with the Sapphire Duke’s toast.
Liszt also stood up, lifted his cup, and drained it in one gulp, “Thank you, Your Grace and all for your blessings, I wish to share this glory of the marine kingdom with you all!”
