SSS Ranked Reincarnation: Dark Dragon Legacy

Chapter 196: Teaching a Dragon



"What do you want me to do?" Ezra asked.

"Oh, so you are coming along, that\'s good. Now I can fix all these things, every issue. I can fix it for sure and make you the king that you need to be.

The issues and the evil that you have committed against me and your kingdom—I will fix everything. I\'ll make sure that all your wrongs are right," Silva said.

"Is that really something that you can make happen?" Ezra asked.

"Oh, that\'s a super easy task. It\'s a step-by-step process that will make the people love you back and maybe even more.

First, the king of Aragon is kept in custody in order to allow the captured men to go free.

You see, this setup will send a message that you value your men. It may not be strong enough to change the thoughts people have against you, but it is a start, a good start even.

With that start, we can change the perception of you. But that change will not be enough to secure your position back.

So, what we will do next is the treaty. We will make your people believe that even in captivity, you are now working out a way to create peace between the two nations.

It may not really mean anything to them in the first few weeks, but soon, when the advanced items that will come from us to your kingdom in the name of peace start arriving, the perception will change.

These items will easily and very quickly change a whole lot of things and make life easier in less than a month for the capital of your kingdom.

That change is all that we will need completely because we will let the people know that you are the one fighting for these new things they are getting.

They will know that you have put them first and have now made sure that you are using the opportunity to better their lives.

Then, after that comes the final and most important stretch—the well-thought-out and executed apology.

Normally, I would say improvise this when the time comes, but in your case, no. You will have to memorize a full script and know how to act it out.

The reason I said I won\'t let you improvise is because you are not truly sorry for what you have done to your people.

You may lie to yourself and make yourself think that you are truly sorry, but in the depth of your heart, you aren\'t, because to you, the path you walked was the right one.

So, you will be taught how to act, and you will do it very well, down to the littlest details and the smallest information.

You will learn how to show emotions through the slightest body movement and take the right tones that will allow the people to believe in the authenticity of your apology.

After that apology, you will choose to resign as king and will want to pass the baton to the next person who will rule the kingdom.

But then we intervene, and we say that we have found you to be the perfect king and a trustworthy man who sticks to his word.

We will say that we do not despise the actions that you took in that war, as you were only trying to protect the pride and heritage of the kingdom.

So, we have decided to endorse you, and you will remain their king, unless we withdraw all the services we have provided and stay away from your kingdom.

Now you see, the people may not still trust you, but they have been getting a ton of good stuff, and it has made their lives a whole lot better.

So, if they still choose to change you, they will lose all that. Now, who knows if the new king will be capable of giving them a life close to what they just got in a few weeks?

That uncertainty is what we will feed on because they will begin to think about you and what you have done deeply.

Now they\'ll try to find the good things, and the good things will start shining brighter and brighter in their minds. And now that it is shining, it will begin to overshadow the dark.

Now they might say you allowed thousands of men to die in the war, but then they will think about what you have done after that, and also your apology.

And with all that combined, the rest will be swept under the corner in due time. Everyone will decide that you are worth the risk, and they will allow you to retake office.

You will become the king they want, and with my help, you will make them happy and dependent on you," Silva said. He looked at Ezra to hear what he had to say.

"Your plan is really detailed, and it leaves little room for issues. I have no problem with it at all. If you can pull this off, then I will surely take my crown without issues. Experience tales at m v|l e\'-NovelBin.net

But I can smell an underlying plot. You want me to be your dog and follow your commands," Ezra said to Silva.

"Hahahaha, underlying plot? There is no underlying plot. The thing you mentioned is the whole reason I am doing this.

I am not doing this for the charity of my heart; I am doing this because I want to control you. I need you to become my puppet.

I will control you and make you do what I want. And if you don\'t want that, you have a few options out.

The first one is to fight me and kill me, and even the goddess knows that\'s impossible.

The second option is that you die in the most embarrassing way possible, as the king who let all his men die and died himself.

So you better pick wisely. Are you going to be my puppet?" Silva asked as he grabbed the mouth of Ezra and squeezed it.

Ezra tried to shake him off or shout away, but the grip Silva used was extremely strong.

Ezra had no option but to nod his head in agreement.

"Great, I\'ll draft the contract after this. But before we get into that, I want to talk about the matter that I know should already be disturbing you.

You are about to partner with a kingdom filled with all sorts of races. What will the heroes think of this? What will the empire and the holy kingdom say?

But guess what? I don\'t give two fucks about them. If they come for you, you will have no option but to support me because that is what the contract will say, so be ready.

Though I doubt that they will move anytime soon, so you have enough time to do what you want and enjoy your life," Silva said. He patted the man on the head and then stood up.

"Make sure that you do all that I\'ll tell you, or else you, your family, and your whole kingdom will become a plain," Silva said and left.

Immediately after he left, he headed for the place where he would see Drake, and that was the administrative building in the castle.

Drake was busy compiling files and data from everything that was happening. It was a job he took because of his speed and high intelligence, so it allowed him to work a lot faster.

When Silva walked into the room, Drake immediately stopped. He looked up at Silva.

"Master!" Drake called out.

"Great to see that you are working hard, Drake, but I need your help with something. The dragon that we will be sending to the dragon continent has little to no knowledge of dragons.

He can\'t go there and act all confused. Sure, his story says that he was taken away at a young age, but not at a very young age.

If not, it would get suspicious, because how can a baby dragon safely stay alive for all those years without teaching and still survive this hard world?

Sure, there is the possibility of that happening, but it\'s low. So rather than stressing ourselves with what might actually fail, I need you to compile from the library a comprehensive amount of books that will give him the information he needs.

As a dragon, he has a very powerful mind, so it shouldn\'t take him long to understand it. And if he doesn\'t, you have the full right to give him a good beating," Silva said.

"I understand. I\'ll get to that right away," Drake said.

"Thank you, Drake. It\'s good to be able to count on you all the time," Silva said and left the room. He honestly felt spent, and it had been a while since he slept well.
