Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1141:- Apparently, Everyone Wants Aditya as a Son-in-Law

As Amelia took another sip of her tea, she suddenly remembered something she had noticed earlier. “Where did Uncle Wahid and Grandpa go? I saw them leaving the mansion in quite a hurry.”

“Well, it’s something serious.” Hearing that answer only made her more curious. Her relaxed expression faded slightly as she waited to hear what exactly had happened.

“They went to recruit some of our finest soldiers.” Yuna calmly explained. “Aditya needs suitable candidates that he can turn into Dragonians.”

Aditya had already discussed the possibility of turning a few hundred soldiers into Dragonians. Once these soldiers completed their transformation, the overall military strength of the Harrington Faction would increase significantly. More importantly, having stronger soldiers on the battlefield would reduce the number of casualties they were expected to suffer once the civil war officially began.

This opportunity was not limited to the Harrington Household alone. The other noble houses belonging to the Harrington Faction were also given the chance to select some of their finest and most loyal soldiers. Every household welcomed the opportunity without hesitation. After everything that had happened, their support for Aditya was no longer based solely on the fact that he shared blood ties with the Harrington Family.

Through his actions, achievements, and the way he had handled everything since arriving on the Main Continent, Aditya had earned their trust. They genuinely believed that he was the most deserving person to become the next Emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire. Even if Aditya had not been related to the Harrington Family by blood, the majority of them would have still chosen to stand behind him. At this point, the entire Harrington Faction supported him and was prepared to follow his leadership throughout the upcoming civil war.

Because of this trust, none of the noble houses became suspicious when Aditya offered to transform their soldiers into Dragonians. No one believed that he was secretly trying to take control of their soldiers or increase the number of his personal subordinates. Instead, they viewed it as Aditya giving each household an opportunity to dramatically strengthen its military before the war began.

After all, becoming a Dragonian was something that countless cultivators could only dream of.

Aditya’s ability was almost like a cheat code. Once an ordinary soldier became a Dragonian, their physical abilities, cultivation potential, lifespan, and overall combat strength would dramatically improve. Progress that might normally require decades of cultivation and an absurd amount of cultivation resources could be achieved much faster after their transformation.

For the noble houses, there was practically no reason to refuse such an opportunity. They were strengthening their own armies without having to spend decades raising those soldiers from the ground up, while at the same time increasing the overall military strength of the faction before the civil war.

That was why Wahid and Boris had personally gone out to oversee the selection of the soldiers who would receive this opportunity.

“Aunt Yuna, I have a question.” Lilith asked with a smile as she placed one of the sweets on her plate.

“Go on.”

“Although it hasn’t even been a full day since I arrived here, I’ve already heard a few rumors from the servants. Apparently, some of the other noble households are considering offering their daughters or younger sisters to Aditya.”

Yuna did not appear particularly surprised after hearing this. In fact, something like this was completely normal among powerful noble families, especially when the person involved was someone who was likely to become the next Emperor. Political marriages had existed within the Celestial Dragon Empire and other Empires within the Main Continent for countless generations, and there was nothing unusual about noble houses attempting to strengthen their relationship with the Imperial Family through marriage.

Even if Aditya did not take their daughters as official wives and only accepted them as concubines, the benefits for those noble houses could still be enormous. Having a daughter or sister living beside the Emperor would naturally create a much closer relationship between that household and the Imperial Family.

Their connection would no longer depend entirely on temporary political cooperation. Instead, they would become connected through marriage, and if a child was eventually born from that relationship, the bond between the two families would become even stronger.

For the nobles, such marriages were rarely based entirely on romance. They were also political investments. A Duke might have wealth, territory, soldiers, and influence, but having someone from his own family beside the Emperor could provide another level of security and prestige. Other noble houses would naturally become more cautious when dealing with them, knowing that they had a direct connection to the ruler of the Empire.

There were also long-term considerations. Emperors could rule for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, while noble families were constantly thinking about the prosperity of future generations. If one marriage could secure a favorable relationship with the Imperial Family for centuries, then many nobles would consider it an opportunity far too valuable to ignore.

Of course, this did not necessarily mean that every noble who wanted such a marriage had bad intentions. Some simply wanted to strengthen the relationship between their household and Aditya’s future rule.

Others genuinely believed that marrying their daughter to someone as powerful and accomplished as Aditya would give her a secure future. However, there would naturally also be those who hoped that having a woman close to the Emperor would allow their household to gain greater political influence.

In Aditya’s case, the attraction was even greater. He was not merely someone competing for the throne with the support of several noble houses. He was already the Emperor of the Istarin Empire, the Dragon Monarch, and someone who had personally gathered enough strength to challenge Ren for the Celestial Dragon Empire. After everything he had demonstrated recently, many nobles increasingly believed that his chances of winning the civil war were extremely high.

For families that were already supporting him, establishing a marriage connection with Aditya before he officially took the Imperial Throne could therefore be seen as an opportunity that might never appear again.

“To be honest, I haven’t heard any such rumors myself. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if those thoughts have already appeared in the minds of some nobles.” Yuna calmly replied.

Considering Aditya’s current position and the increasing possibility of him becoming the next Emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire, it would actually be strange if none of the noble houses had considered forming a marriage connection with him.

“This is quite normal, especially considering how special and talented our Aditya is.” As Yuna spoke those words, a fond and distinctly motherly expression appeared on her face. The pride and affection in her voice were so obvious that Amelia and Lilith suddenly felt as though they were sitting in front of Aditya’s mother rather than his aunt.

For some reason, that realization made both women feel a little nervous, and their postures unconsciously became slightly more proper.

“But Aditya already has enough future wives.” Yuna’s expression became noticeably sharper when she said this. She could more or less understand why Lilith had brought up this particular topic. Although Lilith had presented it as nothing more than a rumor she happened to hear from the servants, Yuna could tell that she was concerned about the possibility of more women being introduced into Aditya’s life.

Even if Aditya himself had no intention of accepting any noble daughters or taking additional concubines, it was only natural for the women around him to feel somewhat conscious about such matters.

From everything Yuna had heard and personally observed, Aditya genuinely tried to treat all of his women equally. Whether it was his time, attention, affection, care, or warmth, he made an effort to ensure that none of them felt neglected or less important than the others.

However, Yuna also understood that there was a limit to how much attention one person could give. Aditya already had several women whom he deeply loved, while also carrying the responsibilities of ruling the Istarin Empire and soon possibly the Celestial Dragon Empire as well. His time was already stretched thin enough.

Adding even more women simply for the sake of political marriages would only make his personal life unnecessarily complicated. More wives or concubines meant more relationships that required his time and attention, and it could easily create jealousy, misunderstandings, or unnecessary tension within the family.

Yuna saw no reason for Aditya to invite such problems into his life when he did not even need political marriages to secure the loyalty of the noble houses supporting him.

After spending enough time around Aditya and observing his personality, Yuna was also fairly certain that he would refuse such proposals himself. He was not the kind of man who would accept a woman merely because marrying her could bring him some political advantage.

“Rest assured. If any nobles really do have such ideas, we will make sure to take care of the matter.” Yuna spoke with a reassuring smile, though the firmness behind her words made it obvious that she had no intention of allowing anyone to casually push another woman into Aditya’s life.
