Chapter 433 The situation Back Home!
Meanwhile, back in the capital, Xavida and Mu Xue were busy dealing with their daily lives. Because her sister Mu Yue came to their mansion daily soon caused a slight issue.

Shang Luo began to try following them because everyone in the mansion knew about his desire to trick them and gain information about Asura and any weaknesses in the Silvara empire. They were all keeping a certain distance.
Yet he approached Cil Mavis, who was currently friends with Xavida and the princess.
At first, it wasn't such a big deal, but Cil wasn't used to such a passionate and intense pursuit and started to let down her guard until she realised what was going on after meeting Mu Yue.
However, this didn't mean that she, a commoner, could ignore the emperor of another nation suddenly or take a negative attitude. The same goes for Mu Xue, who served Asura, and the women, who were his fiancée's in name.
"With Verana going to the north to help her sister and mother in the defence of the north. We've lost most of the powerful people who would remain at the mansion to protect it." Mu Xue muttered in the meeting room of Asura's mansion.
To her right was Xavida, who seemed to have matured a little more since Asura left. Her hair grew longer, the silver and pink fluttering strands swaying at her hips. The woman herself was quietly eating a sour snack because of her strange hormones.
Unlike a human, dragons can choose when or how they lay their egg—once she laid it. It will hatch within three months. Thus, she stopped using the magic which kept the egg from developing too far, thanks to the princess, Lorem and other women who were expecting his child.
Once this process started, like a human woman, they would have odd bouts of strange cravings and emotional swings.
Most of all, the dragoness would reach full maturity, becoming a true adult dragon.
"It's alright, even if I am going to lay these two eggs in four months to match you all. Then I can fight still. Don't think I am weak, or useless Mu Xue." Xavida's soft lips curled into a gentle smile, although they used to fight like cats and dogs. They now fought with more grace and hid their hostility to avoid Asura noticing.
However, neither would harm the other physically outside of their intense training sessions together.
"No, Xavida we need those who aren't expecting to fight. Could you imagine how upset he would become should an accident happen?" Vela added while drinking from her cup, her amber eyes scanning the room while she let out a sigh.
"Sister, how is the fleet?" Verana asked; she realised that although her hatred for Verena hadn't vanished, there was a significant change in the person before her, and thus, she would give her a chance and time to prove herself.
"We've lost two ships in the past few weeks. The enemy seems to enjoy sending dreadnoughts and dangerous warships when the night falls, though many times it leads to them losing a ship or two rather than us. Honestly It feels like they are just trying to distract us from the east."
"I see... good work Verena, you really worked hard this time. I am proud as a sister."
"Eh?"
Verena watched her sister pass by with a stunned face, her mouth open and eyes wide—never did she expect her hateful sister to give such an honest compliment that made her feel a little happy. "Ah~ wait, Verana! What about mother?"
"Mother... Well she should be coming soon, that woman managed to get pregnant with twins... so how about you look after her? She seems to be deciding to relax in the depths and leave all the politics and duchy choices to both of us."
Verena was stunned as she didn't expect their mother could have children, but her attitude towards her caused her to keep this information to herself.
"Well, I suppose I can't complain. After all, I did try to kill her beloved last time." Verena thought.
"Wait, Verana, are you being serious about giving me the Duchy?"
The main cause of the two sisters having such a bad relationship was over the title and successor. It felt strange to Verena that her sister would give it up for anything.
However, then she remembered the man that her sister was going to marry and realised how dull her life might have been.
"Well, it's not like I am going to disappear or leave the north, Verena. I am going to stay in the capital to support our nation, the future king and my husband. So why can't I give you the position you deserve for your efforts and actions since the death of father?"
"Fufu~ you'd really changed sister, but I am proud of you and wish you luck."
With the main issue dealt with, the two sisters left the port because their mother would take hours, and neither of them had the stamina to endure shopping for a single dress with her.
