IGAO为爱高激情

————————–

[Lady Julia and young master Aditya is going to enter now.] Adam, Sophie, the emperor, Ivan, Campbell, Addison, and every other guest turned their attention to another door. The golden doors which were previously closed were opened by the two guards, allowing everyone to see the faces of two people.

When the golden doors were opened, Aditya instantly felt hundreds of gazes. Being a divine dragon he was sensitive to gazes. Although he cannot feel people’s emotions, he is sensitive toward malicious gazes.

Right now, Julia, the Goddess of alchemy had locked her left arm with Aditya’s right arm. The couple slowly and elegantly started walking in Adam’s direction.

In front of so many high-class people, Aditya did not feel the least bit of nervousness. In his past life, as a politician, he has met hundreds of billionaires. Also, the Aditya of the past also had experience as he had attended many parties as the prince before.

Each of their steps was taken at the same time. While holding Aditya’s right arm, the princess had a proud smile on her face. She of course can see the jealous look on some female nobles’ faces.

Meanwhile, Aditya’s focus was completely on one man who was standing beside Adam. The man was wearing luxurious clothes and a golden cape was covering his back. Just from a glance, Aditya knew that his golden cape wasn’t some ordinary cape. The golden cape was some sort of artifact made to defend the Emperor in case some assassin sneaks up on the Emperor and tries to kill him.

The man who was about 20 meters from Aditya was about 5 feet 10 inches tall. He had a lean body and fair skin. He had short black spiky hair. He had a slightly above-average, handsome-looking face. The most noticeable thing about him was the golden crown that had 9 different color jewels on it.

Aditya was sure that his crown was also some sort of artifact. ‘So he is the Emperor of Echo Dominion Empire. He looks like he is only around 25 years old but I am sure he is much much older than he looks.’ Aditya neither had a good nor bad impression of the Emperor. In his last life, Aditya had learned one thing that he still remembers in his heart. Other than a few politicians, every politician in the world was corrupted in some way. Even Aditya himself wasn’t a good man, to begin with. In order to gain the upper hand and to protect his interests, Aditya has done things that were cruel and evil.

As the Emperor who holds this immense power and directly or indirectly controls the lives of millions, Aditya was sure that no human would want to give up or lose this kind of power. The Emperor might look like a gentleman, but he knew that among everyone the Emperor could turn out to be one of the most dangerous venomous snakes.

This is also why Aditya did not completely trust the Nyland King nor the Thera Kingdom King. He had made Zachary send the Majins to keep a watch on two kings in secret.

Aditya finally walked up to the Emperor. “Good evening your Majesty, my name is Aditya. It’s an honor to finally meet the great emperor of Echo Dominion.” Aditya gave a small bow after introducing himself. Unlike the nobles and the ordinary people, who have to kneel before the king, Aditya did not do it. Firstly he was the king of another Kingdom. It would be a huge slap to the Istarin Kingdom if he kneeled in front of another King. Secondly, Aditya was neither a part of the Echo Dominion Empire nor someone who worked for the King, so he saw no reason to kneel before the King. In fact, Addison, who was the Duke of the neighboring Kingdom also did not kneel in front of the King because of this reason.

Even if Aditya now had become Julia’s fiance, this does not mean he was going to kneel. Only the King’s men and his people had to kneel before the king. Otherwise, a simple and small bow was more than enough.

The Emperor nodded back his head as he observed Aditya’s face for the next few seconds before replying. “It’s my pleasure to meet a dragon with divine Bloodline. Divine Dragons only existed in the mythologies. Divine dragons are considered strong as Gods. Never did I imagine that I and my Empire would have the fortune of getting assistance from a Divine dragon himself.” Aditya smiled and nodded his head.

“Princess Julia, as always thank you for all the cultivation pills. Without your pills, the Empire wouldn’t be this powerful.”

“Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me. I was only doing my practice.” Julia remained modest in front of the Emperor. Adam has sold a big chunk of pills that Julia made to the Emperor at a very low price. Of course, Adam gave the money to Julia.

After some light talks, Adam felt it was time to announce.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to draw your attention. Today, on the day of my daughter’s birthday, I have an announcement to make.” Everyone knew in their hearts what Adam was going to announce today. Some loyal friends of Adam smiled being happy for their friend, some felt jealous and envious, and some even cursed how lucky Adam was.

Even the Emperor couldn’t help but sigh secretly thinking how lucky Adam was. He was not only blessed to have the alchemy Goddess as his daughter but he also found someone with a Divine Dragon bloodline as his son-in-law. If only he was half-lucky was Adam.

Adam did not care what the people were thinking about him. He currently has a proud face. Sophie, who was standing beside him, also smiled, feeling very happy and fortunate that her daughter had found such a capable man. She was sure that Julia would be able to live her life in peace with Aditya.

“My daughter Julia has been engaged to Aditya.” With the engagement officially being announced, everyone whether they liked Adam or not had to clap their hands, at least for the sake of their public image.

Clap!!!

As the people clapped while looking at them, Julia felt a little shy but she was very happy in her heart. Now that she was engaged to Aditya, she was going to be Aditya’s first wife and also would have the authority of controlling Aditya’s harem, meaning if he decides to marry the other 6 goddesses.

But as of now, Aditya is yet to show any interest in any other Goddess besides Julia. This of course made the Alchemy Goddess very happy and pleased with her man.

After the announcement, the Emperor stepped out as he had something to announce as well. The Emperor walked up to Aditya and then stood next to him. Everyone looked at the emperor wondering what he was going to say.

“First of all congratulations to Aditya and Julia on officially getting engaged.” The Emperor nodded his head at Aditya before continuing.

“Every one of us here knows the contribution that Aditya made during the Goblin invasion and also during the mana wave. Time after time, he continued saving the soldiers’ and adventurers’ lives. I fear without Aditya, the goblin invasion wouldn’t have ended within a single day. It might have taken us multiple days along with countless more lives of our soldiers and adventurers to end the goblin invasion.”

The emperor paused for a second before continuing while looking around. “There is no denying the fact that Aditya is the hero of this Goblin invasion. He was not a citizen or a part of the Echo Dominion Empire yet he fought very bravely with his life on the line. As the Emperor and the protector of this land, I will reward the person who defended my land and protected my people.”

Aditya wondered what the Emperor was thinking. He knew that the Emperor was trying to do something here.

“This being said, I will reward Aditya with 5,000,000 royal gold coins along with the title of Crimson Emperor.”

“What?” Even Aditya himself was shocked. He wasn’t expecting the Emperor to be this generous. Never did he think that he would directly get 5 million royal gold coins along with the title of Crimson Emperor. The title was not what shocked Aditya and others. Even though it was very rare for the Emperor to give a title to someone, to give this kind of title to an outsider was simply unheard of. What shocked almost everyone was when his Majesty offered to give Aditya 5 million royal gold which is 500,000,000 gold coins. Not even the Campbell noble house earned that much money in a year.

However, the Emperor looked calm and was a little satisfied seeing Aditya’s reaction. He was trying to gain Aditya’s favor and pull him to his side so that in the future Aditya would have close ties with the Echo Dominion Empire. Being a divine dragon, it was almost confirmed that Aditya was going to reach 7th-order, maybe even higher order. If the King can befriend such a powerful figure, his Empire will benefit immensely in the future. To him, these 5 million royal gold coins were investments that were going to ensure his Empire’s safety.

However, the Emperor did not stop there.
