The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1359

Chapter 1359: Future Preparations

"What sort of future should I be preparing the Princess for? I mean, now that you know I can help her advance her rank to her potential in a reasonable timeframe." Karl asked, diverting the conversation again.

"What sort of potential will she even have? Perhaps she can be a Palace Officer by the time that she’s a hundred. That would be fairly decent, but at best, she might get a handful of marriage offers from rural Nobles." The Crown Prince noted.

Karl shook his head. "No, she should be able to reach Mythic or at least Totem in the next century. She’s half Elf, she’s not stuck on a dragon’s slow growth rate. Elves mature slowly, but their power levels grow pretty smoothly."

"You know: that matches Father’s theory. You see, Dragons reach puberty relatively quickly. Elves reach puberty slowly. But Elves power grows faster in the years during and immediately after puberty, while a Dragons’ rate of growth increases with time.

He insists that once she starts to grow, she should grow quickly, and then keep growing at an increasing rate until she reaches her peak." Prince Lukas explained.

"Not a bad theory. I honestly don’t remember how it works out. Usually, it’s the Orcs and the beastkin who want to do lewd things with cute elf girls."

A woman at the next table choked on her drink at Karl’s comment, while the rest of her table did their best to pretend that they weren’t eavesdropping.

Not that any conversation was private in a room full of dragons with sensitive hearing.

Behind Karl, the King mentally smirked. The strange Emissary had a point. Elf girls did have a thing for guys a metre taller than them, with arms the size of their torso. But that was a good description of his humanoid form.

How such a preference had emerged in a species where the men were only marginally less effeminate than the women, he had no idea. But he was deeply thankful for it.

Even if it had caused him years of headaches with the Queen.

Why she had so vehemently opposed adding the Elf to the harem when she hadn’t objected to any of the ten other dragons was a mystery not made for a man’s comprehension.

However, he didn’t show any outward sign that he could hear the quiet conversation between his eldest son and the others.

"But back to your initial question. If she really can reach Totem Rank before adulthood, her status will be much higher than expected, and she will likely end up with a Royal Marriage." Lukas explained.

"Oh? Married off to one of the other nations is a decent option."

Librarian Barry laughed, while Prince Lukas looked a bit embarrassed.

"Well, that is a possibility. However, if she has that sort of power as a dragonkin, it will more likely be a dragon from one of the branch families, a distant cousin." He explained.

"Ah, keeping the Shadow Dragon bloodline strong. Well, as long as it’s not one of her own siblings, I suppose that tradition is tradition." Karl replied.

The three men at the table all gave Karl confused looks.

"You know that sort of genetic issue doesn’t happen to dragons, right?" Dakkarian asked curiously.

"Well yeah, but still. There are entire novels written about why you shouldn’t love your sister that much." Karl countered.

"You’ve definitely been hanging out with the Green Dragon Clerics." Librarian Barry noted.

"But on our initial point, I don’t think that it will be an issue for me to get her to Totem Rank before adulthood. Depending on how slowly she matures, it might be well in advance of adulthood, and then it will all be down to her comprehension rates." Karl explained.
