Chapter 60: The Greatest Achievement in the World Is Following the Dragon

Bedroom.

"Do you love your son?"

Facing the sternly scolding husband, Danielle just asked calmly.

"I certainly love little Haidun. He is my only son, the continuation of my bloodline, my surname, my castle, my glory... my sword will be his in the future..."

Kalen, who was about to get angry, was stunned. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses and mutter repeatedly.

"Kalen, this is almost everything you have, which is enough to show that you love him even more than me."

Danielle stood on tiptoe and hugged Kalen tightly, whispering in his ear:

"But you should know that for little Haidun's future, the most important thing is never these external objects... but a protection that can protect his lifelong happiness and bring him the world's blessing!"

"And the choice of godfather is undoubtedly the key to determining the identity protection."

"Of course I know this." Kalen pushed his wife away lightly.

"So I didn't hesitate to use the agreement from the past, asking my best comrade, Bishop Lu En, to be little Haidun's godfather, and your mother also promised to bring all the nobles of the Southern Region to bless little Haidun."

"His starting point will already far exceed you and me. Isn't this enough?" Kalen asked back, feeling dissatisfied with his wife's whimsical ideas and greed.

"Not enough!" Danielle responded firmly. Her eye sockets were slightly red, and there were crystal tears in her

"Kalen, I am a mother." The woman gently placed her palm on Kalen's chest.

"As a mother, how could I not wish to save the best for my child?" Danielle said, choking back tears.

Kalen: "."

Tears are always the best weapon against a man; even a man with a heart of iron finds it difficult to endure the sight of a beautiful woman weeping.

"Sigh." Watching his usually dignified and elegant wife crying like a flower in the rain, he could only let out a long sigh.

"Even if I were to request that His Highness serve as little Haidun's godfather, it would only invite His Highness's refusal and wrath!"

Kalen stroked his wife's silk-smooth long hair and said helplessly.

"Perhaps that is so, but in my view, there is still a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing her husband finally relent, Danielle quickly wiped away her tears; she knew that what followed was the key to persuading him.

"Kalen, if the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent were connected, then I would absolutely not make such an absurd request of you; we probably wouldn't even be able to make contact with His Highness at all."

Hearing this, Kalen nodded slightly in agreement.

Indeed! If the Eastern and Western Continents were connected without the three natural barriers of the "Mist of Loss," the "Sighing Ice Wall," and the "World-Ring Serpent," he, a mere small viscount, let alone hosting His Highness, wouldn't even be qualified to seek an audience!

"Based on my observations and interactions with His Highness over these past few days, His Highness undoubtedly came to the Western Continent alone. Moreover, although His Highness is exceptionally gifted and possesses supreme protection, he undoubtedly still needs at least twenty years to become a top-tier powerhouse befitting his status."

Danielle stated slowly; she needed to lay out all the analysis she had pondered over these days before Kalen.

"And, you should still remember His Highness's status protection; it was white at the beginning, right?"

Kalen nodded again; this was one of the reasons why he had doubted the authenticity of His Highness's status in the first place.

How could the heir to a massive kingdom with 1.4 billion citizens have a status protection that was only at the Mortal Rank?

"There is only one reason—that is, His Highness was just established as the heir by his country when he suffered some kind of persecution and was stranded on the Western Continent." Danielle voiced her judgment.

"Political infighting over the succession, huh." Kalen's expression was grave; clearly, he agreed with Danielle's view. After all, this was undoubtedly the best explanation for the many suspicious points regarding His Highness.

"What do you think His Highness wants to do most at this moment?" Danielle asked in return.

"Return to his kingdom as soon as possible." Kalen answered directly without even thinking.

If it were him, if there were a kingdom of 1.4 billion people waiting for him to inherit, he would certainly be thinking day and night about wanting to go back.

"Indeed, however, the biggest problem is that the spatial means His Highness used to come to the Western Continent earlier can likely no longer be used, and if he wants to cross those three natural barriers, it is too difficult! This requires massive financial, human, and material resources, and the all-out support of countless people."

"Then what does His Highness, who is all alone, need most right now?"

"A base!" Kalen and Danielle said in unison.

"His Highness is a truly good person; I can feel it. This is something that cannot be faked no matter what." Danielle said calmly.

"You should also know that under the crazy grain requisitioning of our Gluttonous King, how many territories have become living hells because of famine, and how many lords are respectful on the surface but dissatisfied in their hearts? Only the Southern Region can still barely be called a paradise."

"Watch your tongue! You must not be disrespectful to His Majesty the King." Kalen interrupted immediately.

This was a topic he felt absolutely must not be touched, and besides, no matter what, the King of Suoxia was ultimately his liege in name.

However, Danielle did not stop, but continued to weigh the pros and cons:

"In short, no matter from which aspect you look at it, the Southern Region would be the most suitable base for His Highness."

"And although we are only a viscount family, I am the legitimate daughter of the ruler of the Southern Region, Lady Rosa Masha, and little Haidun is her only grandson now. If His Highness is willing to serve as little Haidun's godfather, then this is undoubtedly the best entry point to rule the Southern Region."

Danielle's eyes gleamed; her brain was running to its limit at this moment.

"Imagine, if His Highness rules the Southern Region for twenty years, by then, with his talent, he will surely become a top-tier powerhouse. And if the Gluttonous King does not change the order of crazy grain requisitioning, then the dissatisfaction of the lords will sooner or later gather into a sea of fire that will burn across the country. At that time, as long as His Highness, who has the protection of 1.4 billion, raises his arms and calls out, those lords will inevitably raise their banners high."

Danielle gently stroked the man's face, speaking in a tone full of temptation.

Kalen looked at his bedfellow in shock, only feeling that she was incredibly unfamiliar. To think she would dare to even contemplate such disrespectful things, and... she had even thought it out quite realistically.

"Kalen, by then Haidun will also be exactly twenty years old. As a godson, it surely shouldn't be difficult for him to occupy a position as His Highness's attendant."

"Of all the achievements in the world, none surpasses the merit of following a dragon."

"Your House of Hius has been viscounts for a hundred years; haven't you been viscounts long enough?!"

"Enough!" Kalen glared at Danielle in anger.

"Even if the Gluttonous King has many faults, and even if His Highness Mingyu is kind and benevolent and destined to be a sage king of a generation, how could I, as a viscount of the kingdom, commit such an act of treason?"

Having said that, Kalen slapped Danielle's hand away and made a move to walk out the door.

Danielle keenly noticed the change in her husband's address for the King of Suoxia.

So she did nothing, just narrowed her eyes and watched Kalen, who was about to leave, quietly.

A moment later, Kalen, having walked a few steps, saw that his wife did not come to stop him, so he awkwardly scratched his head and walked back.

"Ahem, Danielle, tell me in detail the rhetoric for requesting His Highness to be little Haidun's godfather. I declare first that I am only going to request it; if His Highness does not agree, I will leave immediately."

Before Kalen could finish his sentence, he was tightly kissed by the passionate Danielle.

"Love you, Kalen, you are the best husband and also the best father!"
