The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1402

Chapter 1402: To Play Her Part

Cara’s insistence on helping Remi’s goal of gathering data on all sorts of advancement methods turned the mountain castle into the site of chaos for the next week.

Every waking moment was spent either building muscles in dragon form, so that Rue could more convincingly play the part of a Royal Shadow Dragon, or meditating, while the Princess was forcefully imbued with above rank mana.

The idea was that her body would adapt faster with the flood of power, and she was working on her Power Matrix, which would accelerate the process.

By the end of the week, she had managed to turn a single point into three, and Prince Lukas sensed that she was actually beginning to understand one of the Fundamental Rules. Her mana was changing ever so slightly, but enough that it would not be something that he expected of anyone under Totem Rank.

Even Karl was impressed.

If he had to guess, Rue’s potential was far higher than even his own. She grasped the concepts more quickly, she learned the things that he had needed to advance much earlier, and her growth rate was phenomenal.

One week was all that it had taken to go from the advancement to Royal Rank to nearly the bottleneck before Monarch.

Remi was going to be overjoyed when she found out that this sort of intense advancement regimen had a chance of working.

But on the other hand, their efforts to help Mildred and the hatchling were meeting with much less impressive results. They were still advancing much more quickly than usual, but compared to Princess Rue, they might as well be snails in a horse race.

"The Princess really is a prodigy. Do you think that might be why the Queen cursed her?

I have been thinking about it, and it doesn’t make sense otherwise. The Queen’s mother is a Seer, so she had to have received a vision about the Princess that would cause her to take the drastic actions that she has.

But with this sort of talent, there is a good chance that Rue will be able to take over my position if the King waits too long to hand over power.

Even a decade would be enough that Rue would be at the peak of Mythic Rank if nothing happens to stop her.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for her, but that is going to bring a huge amount of danger her way, and Rue is far too kind to be able to take care of it on her own. If she had someone like Cara, who could quietly make problems go away for her, she might be alright. But that sort of person isn’t easy to find." Lukas quietly informed Karl as the badger and Princess worked through a mana stress test session.

The two men watched the girls intensely training for a moment as Karl contemplated his answer.

"You know, there is another option. A prodigy like Rue, who is going to reach Overlord before I have to return home, and likely before she even starts puberty, needs a strong protector. If you declared her as your leading candidate for Crown Princess, you could watch over her, and then let her take the throne beside you when you ascend.

It’s a win-win, really.
