Reborn: I'm A Dragon Girl With An OP System

“I can talk to Thurul about speaking with the dwarves. He has some connection to the dwarven kingdom. I should probably talk with the elves as well. I can speak to Runa and see if she knows anyone good at magic technology.” Now that I think about it, I have made quite a few connections over the past few years.

“Why is it that you have just about the same connections as I, the king do? I think this is just fate telling us that you must be destined to be the ruler of my Gravos Kingdom! Haha! It is only a matter of time.” Hearing the king once more bring up my taking over his position made me roll my eyes. I decided not to even talk about it.

“Anyway, besides this, there is one more hanger.” I had split the items up between the two hangers. Mainly because I wanted to keep the airship hanger as free of space as possible. It already held two airships, one to take apart and try to re-engineer and the other to keep as a guide on how to put it all back together.

“Another one!?” The king seemed surprised. He followed me to the teleportation point and transferred over to the second hanger. It was here where I stored all the cars and other technology that I found.

“As you can see, this one is filled with various types of technology, from land moving cars to flying cars. Ah, umm, cars are like carriages. But besides that, there are different kinds of devices and other quality of life things we can use to really better the lives of our people in the kingdom.” I began to explain the various things, which some things the king felt intrigued about while others he was confused about. But this was probably just my bad explanation.

“I can see you really thought a lot about this kingdom. Not just about defense but for the betterment of society altogether. With the things, you have here, even if it was released slowly and heavily regulated, it would make a huge change in the peoples’ day to day lives. Faith between everyone I know, even myself, you think more about the people and this kingdom than anyone else. It truly amazes me that you are so willing to always think about what can help the kingdom. What can better the lives of the people. Even the weapons. Instead of destroying them, which was what most people would have done in your situation, you thought to not destroy them but also to steal them for our own use.”  The king paused and placed his hand on my head.

“I have decided to make Adel my heir to the throne. While I know this is crafty and scheming by me. I will be upfront about it. Whether you end up being with her in the end or not, I do hope you will be at her side, helping her in the future to come.

“There is no telling what tomorrow will bring. We could come under attack at any time, and the kingdom could be utterly destroyed. I hope with your skill and know how that you will be willing to protect Adel no matter what and keep her safe to rise up and give birth to a new kingdom with the same or even better values as the one we have now. As king and as a father, I hope I can leave my daughter and the heir to the throne in your hands.” The king bowed deeply to me. This time he was not joking around. These were his heartfelt words.

But even still, I felt kind of bad for Lance, who had been working hard all this time to become a good king. To be honest, I am not sure what to say about this. I guess the king also understood my feelings because his next words explained everything. “I am not making this decision suddenly. I have been watching the three of you all this time. I would be stupid not to see my daughter’s true feelings for you. Even Lance knows that Adel has been in love with you from the start. And when you told me bluntly that you two were now dating, I had a meeting with Lance. And we both came to a decision. No one cares about power in my family. They only care about the people they rule over.

“This means once I told Lance about the two of you, Lance immediately let go of his right to the throne and told me to make Adel the first heir to the throne as well as making you the second heir. We both think that if Adel takes the throne with you by her side, the kingdom will prosper for many, many years to come. And if something happens to Adel that you could take up the reigns and bring the kingdom back from the brink of destruction.

“I may be putting all my eggs into one basket by doing this, but I see hope in your way of thinking. I see a future where the Gravos Kingdom flourishes and will stand tall against any and all adversaries. So please think about it. No matter how much you are against it. I hope you will decide at that time what you truly want. But if you decide to part with Adel, I still hope you can help her out in the future.” The king’s words were heavy. And that heaviness did not feel right. I felt like I was being pushed into a corner because he knew my personality way too much.

“I can only promise to think about it. Nothing is certain about the future.” I said no more after that. I escorted the king back to the castle and went back home after. My drive for the day was sapped after speaking with the king. He didn’t even say when he would announce that Adel would be the new heir to the throne.

I sat on my bed, lying there staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. I didn’t even notice Jen until she jumped on the bed, scaring the hell out of me. “Jen, don’t do that!”

“Why are you so gloomy?”
