Chapter 269 Lance, Are You Sending Me Away?
The Young Dragon was taken away, and it was not just once.
As the members of the Royal Family at the Demon Academy graduated, before their graduation, they all extended invitations to Lance, hoping he would join them and serve their Royal Families.
Lance refused.
The members of the Royal Family invited Lance more than once, and Lance refused these members of the Royal Family more than once. After being refused by Lance numerous times, those members of the Royal Family who were interested in him turned their attention to the Young Dragon.
Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance cared a great deal about this Young Dragon, and if they could persuade the Young Dragon to join their Royal Family, perhaps Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance would, for the sake of the Young Dragon, choose to join them and serve their Royal Family.
As a result, the Young Dragon was taken away by members of the Royal Family every now and then. For example, Demon Princess Christine took the Young Dragon to the Demon King City for a short stay. During this period, if Lance did not go to the Demon King City to find the Young Dragon, Christine would continue to let the Young Dragon stay in the Demon King City.
As a princess of the Demon Race, Christine had thought about using the Young Dragon to threaten Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance, making him sign a contract with their Demon Royal Family to serve them.
But ultimately, she did not do so, because she felt this might not necessarily make Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance submit.
Moreover, if she did do so, it would enrage Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance. If Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance were an ordinary member of the Demon Race with average power and only cleverness, his anger could be disregarded.
However, the Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance she knew was not only clever but also very strong.
If they truly used the Young Dragon to threaten him, the other Royal Families would take the opportunity to contact Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance and collaborate with him.
Furthermore, Christine felt that if she could think of this, the other members of the Abyss Royal Family undoubtedly had the same idea, and since they could restrain themselves from using the Young Dragon to threaten Lance, she naturally could restrain herself as well.
Instead of using the Young Dragon to threaten Lance, she thought it safer to win over the Young Dragon with a gentle approach and have the Young Dragon convince Lance to join their Royal Family.
The art of managing subordinates was something that the Royal Family members had some understanding of, but the kind of art they mastered was only effective against ordinary demons. When faced with a demon of Lance's caliber, a different kind of strategy was needed.
In their daily interactions with Lance, whether it was in the capacity of classmates, friends, or frenemies, their only objective was to make Lance willingly choose them and voluntarily serve them.
An excellent young demon like Lance was a target everyone desired to dominate.
Having a powerful follower by one's side could also showcase the ability and charm of those in higher positions.
Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance possessed such qualifications.
One of the strongest students in the history of the Demon Academy in terms of academic performance, comprehension, power, and skills.
He was young enough to substitute for teachers and lecture his classmates.

He graduated a year early, then worked as a teacher at the Demon Academy, wrote textbooks, and his distinctive teaching method could turn the young Princes and Princesses from disliking learning to enjoying it and looking forward to his classes.
Who wouldn't want to dominate such an outstanding demon?
Who wouldn't want him as their follower?
As someone of high status, who could resist having a young, powerful, talented individual who could also prepare various delicacies?
Since Lance had refused their invitations, they could only try to dominate him through the Young Dragon.
At first, the Young Dragon did not understand why the Demon Princesses of the Abyss Royal Family liked to invite her to the Royal City for visits and leisure, but gradually, she understood that these Princesses wanted to use her to make the Evil Dragon choose one of their Royal Families.
To serve them.
Truly cunning.
Fortunately, the princesses of the Abyss weren't foolish enough to threaten the Evil Dragon by imprisoning her or controlling her.
If they had done so, given the Evil Dragon's temperament, it would never befriend them and might even beat them half to death.
The princesses of the Abyss were all no pushovers, just as cunning and scheming as her odious elder sister Asina.
Understandable.
After all, they were demons.
While they coveted the Evil Dragon, the Evil Dragon also coveted their family's forbidden spells.
Every royal family in the Abyss had their own forbidden spell.
Ever since learning this, the Evil Dragon had been coveting the forbidden spells of the Abyss royal families.
To obtain the forbidden spells of the Abyss royal families, the Evil Dragon had fully embraced the role of a teacher, hoping to learn the family's forbidden spells right from the mouths of the young royals.
This was no easy feat; if she tried it, she would likely be discovered by the young royals the moment the thought crossed her mind.
But the Evil Dragon was different; it was a mystery how he managed it.
The relationship between the Evil Dragon and the royal princesses hadn't worsened because of her; on the contrary, it had deepened their interactions and visits.
The Evil Dragon had become a frequent visitor to the major royal cities.
The security in the royal cities of the various major families of the Abyss was not very good; many demons preferred to solve problems with violence.
Murders, disappearances, sacrifices, and robberies, all kinds of heinous crimes, occurred from time to time.
The Young Dragon remembered Demon Suman saying that the Evil Dragon would become the High Commander of the Judgment Royal Court and then he would be able to mobilize the judges, inspectors, and guards from all the major royal cities.
This should happen after the Evil Dragon left the Demon Academy.
The Young Dragon had thought it would be like this until, one day, while strolling on the street, she was nearly injured and abducted by a hideous demon. When Demon Princess Christine learned of this incident, she directly approached the Evil Dragon and said she wanted him to take charge of the security in the Demon King City.
She could grant him the highest authority and said doing so was to create a safe environment for her, the Young Dragon.
The Demon Princess also said, "With you being so busy, you can't always follow the Young Dragon, and the Young Dragon can't always stay by your side."
"The Royal City is vast, but its security is poor. If you could improve it, you would feel more at ease wandering and playing around the Royal City when you're busy studying."
After pondering for a moment, the Evil Dragon agreed.
Demon Princess Christine didn't go back on her word. The Royal Family appointed the Evil Dragon as the High Commander of the Demon King City, allowing him to select powerful demons from the guards of the Demon King City for his use.
At the same time, the Evil Dragon could also mobilize all the security officers and inspectors of the Demon King City.
This matter quickly reached the ears of the other members of the Abyss Royal Family. After the Blood Clan Princess and the Succubus Princess learned of this, they also invited the Evil Dragon to discuss with him, hoping that the Evil Dragon would also serve as their Royal Family's security officer.
The Evil Dragon did not refuse and agreed.
Afterwards, other members of the Abyss Royal Family also invited the Evil Dragon one after another for him to serve as the security officer of their Royal Cities.
The Judgment Royal Court appeared.....
The Evil Dragon was the boss of the Judgment Royal Court, and the newly established Judgment Royal Court hardly had any useful members of the Demon Race. Although the Evil Dragon could command the commanders, inspectors, and guards from various Royal Cities, the Judgment Royal Court would ultimately be inconvenient without its own armed force.
Just when the Young Dragon thought this situation would continue until the Evil Dragon left the Demon Academy, the Evil Dragon held a tea party in her vegetable garden and invited all the members of the Royal Family he knew.
During the tea party, the Evil Dragon made it clear to all the members of the Royal Family that he would select some from the great Royal Families to cultivate and use them to strengthen the Judgment Royal Court.
The members of the great Royal Families did not object and even promised the Evil Dragon that they would fully support him.
With the support of the members of the great Royal Families, the Evil Dragon began to select members of the Demon Race from them for cultivation.
This was easy, just directly selecting some powerful guards from the various Royal Cities to join the Judgment Royal Court would do.
The Young Dragon quietly told Lance that those members of the Demon Race cultivated in this way would still ultimately be loyal to their own Royal Families. She suggested that Lance select some ordinary members of the Demon Race for cultivation, so that, with time, the loyalty of these Demon Race members would naturally shift to Lance.
After all, she was a princess with authority and naturally wanted to take the opportunity to build her own power base; she understood this much.
The Evil Dragon should understand too.
The Evil Dragon did indeed understand, but the Evil Dragon had no interest in fighting for power and profit...
She forgot that the Evil Dragon had never been interested in power.
The Brocade Guards were born.
The Evil Dragon named the armed force of the Judgment Royal Court as the Brocade Guards.
The uniforms of the Brocade Guards, which were designed by the Evil Dragon himself, were black and red; they were both cool and stylish.
Among the Brocade Guards were Demons, members of the Blood Clan, Succubi, as well as Fallen Angels, Crimson Moon Elves, and other members of the Demon Race.
After training a batch of Brocade Guards, the Evil Dragon started cultivating judges and inspectors.
The Young Dragon met Demon Suman, who at this time was just an ordinary Demon. The Evil Dragon took her away and even sent her to the Demon Academy for cultivation.
As time passed, the Judgment Royal Court grew stronger and stronger under the management of the Evil Dragon, abundantly producing outstanding, competent, and powerful judges, inspectors, and executioners.
The Brocade Guards also became several times stronger than when they were first formed.
The number of the Brocade Guards also grew from a few hundred members of the Demon Race at the beginning to nearly ten thousand.
It was only at this time that the Evil Dragon formally began to serve as the security officer of the various Royal Cities.
Over the years that the Judgment Royal Court had been accumulating power, the Evil Dragon had not been idle; he had instructed the princesses of the various Royal Cities to collect a lot of information on extremely fierce and evil criminals.
On the day that the Judgment Royal Court officially opened, the Evil Dragon had the Brocade Guards assist the judges and inspectors in apprehending criminals from the various Royal Cities.
He also had the security officers and guards of the various Royal Cities cooperate with the actions of the Judgment Royal Court.
The Judgment Royal Court became famous in one battle!
Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance once again caught the attention of those long-lived powerhouses among the great Royal Families.
He also caught the attention of the Succubus Princess Meredith.
The Succubus Princess Meredith wanted to conquer Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance but looked down on Lance, yet couldn't help wanting to provoke Lance.
This led to the Succubus Princess having a love-hate relationship with Lance.
Once, when a member of the Royal Family asked if the Succubus Princess Meredith was attracted to Lance and had fallen for him?
The Succubus Princess said no. She claimed she only wanted to play with Dark Magic Dragonkin Lance's emotions, making him fall in love with her, unable to leave her, until he was willing to die for her...
She added that Lance's dragon head was ugly and fierce-looking, and she, being so charming and seductive... did not have such heavy tastes.
Just coincidentally...
Lance happened to overhear this conversation.
Well, she, the Young Dragon, overheard it.
The Succubus Princess was in trouble...
She might become the first Royal Family princess to be remembered by the Evil Dragon...
Don't be fooled by the large size of the Evil Dragon's dragon body... his memory for grievances was quite small...
He held grudges.
It was just unknown how the Evil Dragon would take revenge on the Succubus Princess.
Oh.
It seemed that the Evil Dragon had no thoughts of taking revenge on the Succubus Princess; he frequently invited her to dine and occasionally told her stories. When alone with the Succubus Princess, he even communicated with her in the language of the Succubi.
When his expression wasn't quite right, the Succubus Princess would sometimes correct him.
Their chats and interaction didn't seem like they were dating.
It was quite strange.
That evening, as she was preparing to go upstairs to sleep, the Evil Dragon called her. "What's up, Lance?"
"You've been here too long, it's time for you to go back."
"Ah? Are you sending me away?"
