Chapter 1080 The Patriarch’s Blessing
"Editor Gladys, someone wants to see you."
After hearing her colleague's words, the editor who was sorting out the information on the Lothern Ocean Current looked a little confused with her bright eyes. She didn't remember having any plans for today.
Although she is still a junior editor of Seagull Newspaper's Nature Weekly, many people regard her as having the same name as Prince Draconir's fiancée. They always like to make jokes and ask questions, but in the end they only get a mysterious smile.
Out of concern for the future mistress of the dragon's palace, even Imric, who didn't care much about this matter, could hardly send a commissioner to take charge of Gladys' safety and life issues, prohibiting anyone who wanted to interfere with his daughter-in-law's normal life before marriage. Life.
And Gladys also knew very well that the reason why no one interfered with her was simply because of the actions of her fiancé and His Majesty the Phoenix King.
So this becomes even more confusing. Who can bypass the guards' gaze and enter the newspaper office directly?
But she soon found out...
When she saw an unfamiliar figure entering the public office area, her breathing became a little rapid. She quickly looked around at her colleagues, only to find that they did not seem to be aware of the arrival of His Majesty the Phoenix King.
The worker with the visitor brought the man and woman to Gladys and introduced them proudly.
"This is the future star of Seagull Newspaper Company, Ms. Gladys. Although she is very young, the Nature Weekly she is responsible for is very popular in various countries. Every court has sent commissioners to subscribe to it."
Imrik looked at the nervous little girl in front of him and asked the introduction worker teasingly.
"I think the court with the most subscriptions should be Caledor. Dragon princes are very concerned about the natural environment."
"No, it's Tyron Locke. Prince Adira has invited Seagull Newspaper Company to observe on the spot in the Dusk Sea many times. Editor-in-chief Gladys's writing style has been praised by His Royal Highness many times. She bluntly said that the scenery in her writings is like jumping on the page. If you enter the field of literature, you will definitely become a masterpiece playwright."
"Stop talking..." Gladys covered her face and muttered in a low voice, why did she feel so embarrassed when her colleagues were complimenting her father-in-law...
"I believe what you say." Imrik picked up a manuscript on Gladys's desk without politeness and nodded thoughtfully, "Well, that's a very good idea. In fact, the environment of Dawn Fortress It’s very different from Ulthuan, and many people are curious about this overseas enclave.”
The enthusiastic staff wanted to explain that this was just a small part of Ms. Gladys's responsibility, and also asked visitors to pay attention to some behaviors and not to tamper with the newspaper's belongings, but they were quickly driven away by the embarrassed editor-in-chief.
"His Majesty……"
Imrik, who put down the manuscript, smiled and said, "We have reached this stage, and you still call me Your Majesty?"
Gladys understood what it meant. Although she had expected such a situation, when it actually happened to her, she became timid again.
The Phoenix King in front of him is not a Phoenix King with ordinary achievements... his reputation has already brought the Phoenix Court to its highest peak in thousands of years, approaching the level of Aenarion, the guardian of the world.
The silver-haired girl lowered her head and greeted a little shyly.
"Father."
How could Imrik be too embarrassed for such a cute little girl? He smiled and took out a small wooden box.
"It's a bit embarrassing to say that, except for the fact that you and I met once when Drachnir was young, this visit before marriage is actually the second time we have met."
"The things that my father needs to deal with are far more important than the personal matters between me and Draconir. It's already good that you can take the time to see me."
Gladys took the wooden box and did not open it immediately. With the luxury of Draconir's gifts, she thought that once the box was opened, the entire office area would attract attention.
The maid found a chair and asked His Majesty to sit down.
When Imric looked directly at Gladys, he realized that the little girl's face had changed a lot compared to before, and her temperament seemed more intellectual and calm. Although she still maintained some restraint when she saw the Phoenix King, her tense expression The body also began to relax, obviously getting used to it.
Although as a father, he was happy that his son had found a suitable fiancée, as the head of the family, Imric still had to make some demands on Gladys.
"Gladys, um... I don't really want to talk about your marriage to Draconir as a ruler. As the father of both of you, I hope that your union will make each other happy.
But..." Imrik shrugged, "You also understand that many times I cannot speak with my heart, even to my relatives. "
Knowing that her father had something important to tell her, Gladys changed her slightly shy expression, sat upright, put her hands on her skirt, and spoke firmly.
"Father, you said, if it's something I can do, no...even if it's something I can't do, for Drachnir, I will definitely do it."
He waved his hand to indicate that Gladys didn't need to be too nervous. Imrik wouldn't expect an ordinary little girl to do anything shocking. It was enough to have a tigress Adira in the family.
"First of all, you must work hard for me..."
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say." The maid reminded with a cough. Although it is known to everyone in Caledor that you and Prince Tyran Loch want to raise a grandson, Gladys is still your fiancée. Don't let people have anything to do with the Dragon Palace. Wrong impression.
Imric rolled his eyes at the maid, I am the Phoenix King, so what I say is the truth.
In Gladys's nervous and expectant eyes, His Majesty's father said this.
"How many children are you planning to have?"
Gladys didn't react for a moment. She originally thought that His Majesty would ask if he could manage the palace for Drachnir, or establish good relations with various nobles?
But...she looked a little weird when she thought about the first time she came into contact with Draconir.
"I respect Draknir's thoughts, and I won't have any concerns about it if he thinks it's necessary..."
Imrik nodded. He was not concerned about whether Gladys could become a qualified prince's wife. If a pig sat in that position, a group of female officials could arrange everything for her.
However, when he saw his daughter-in-law's strange expression, he patiently explained, "What I meant was not that you should be used as a reproductive tool to stay in the dragon's palace..."
"Ahem, Your Majesty, be careful what you say."
Unable to bear it, Imrik finally complained to Gladys, "So what does this Phoenix King mean? I have to care about palace etiquette when talking to my daughter."
When the maid finally calmed down, while his daughter-in-law still looked nervous, Imrik took her hand sincerely and said,
“I only have one son, Drachnir, and my father only has one son, so I know the loneliness one feels when shouldering the heavy responsibility of a kingdom.
As the head of the family, I just hope that the next generation will have a normal childhood, without having to hide their envy of brotherhood and sisterhood, and be urged to grow up by so-called responsibilities.
You only need to fulfill your responsibilities as a wife and mother, and I believe Draknir will do his best to protect the family you two have built.
And I will protect all children with the blood of Caledor, including you, Gladys, who will soon become a member of the Dragon Tamer family. "
However, under Gladys' moved gaze, Imrik still emphasized,
"But if I can give birth to a few descendants for the family and strengthen the sparse bloodline of dragon tamers, I will be even happier. If you think it is troublesome to take care of the children, you can leave it to me and Adira.
If it really doesn’t work, Phyllis can do it, she has long wanted to..."
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!!!"
