"Hahaha!
Pratt, you old bastard, come out and greet your old friend! "
His voice echoed throughout the Yardod family. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.
"Sandra, you're still so arrogant after so many years!"
Pratt said as he looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.
A few decades ago, he and Sandra were good friends. Their families were both first-rate families in the City of Martial.
However, Sandra stood on the wrong side during the change of power. Her family was destroyed. Although they weren't wiped out, all the important people died.
With Pratt's help, she fled the City of Martial with her children.
They didn't meet again after that. He heard that Sandra went to the fourth-rate Foss Kingdom to be a guard.
A few decades passed, and he stopped paying attention to this old friend of his. However, he didn't expect that he would send someone to attend Na Bao's coming of age ceremony a few days ago.
This made Pratt feel uneasy.
He and Sandra had arranged a betrothal when they were children. If there was a boy and a girl in their grandchildren's generation, they would be married.
If he hadn't mentioned it in the letter, Pratt wouldn't have remembered.
However, why did he mention it on his granddaughter's 13th birthday? It must have something to do with this.
"Pratt, we're all old. We're not as arrogant as we used to be. You, on the other hand, have developed your family into the number one family in the City of Martial."
As the voice spread, two giant dragons slowly descended from the sky.
The giant dragons' wings flapped, and the strong wind made the guards lose their balance. They staggered until they reached the edge of the courtyard wall.
Sandra and a young man flew down from the dragon's back.
Pratt's eyes narrowed as he looked at the two giant dragons in shock.
These were … seventh-grade dragons with ancient bloodlines. They were extremely powerful … steel dragons.
"Pratt, let me introduce you. This is the current crown prince of the Foss Kingdom, Prince Juen!"
Sandra introduced with an arrogant look.
The fourth-rate empires of the Holy Dragon Continent didn't have jurisdiction over third-rate empires.
This meant that the fourth-rate empires and above were all independent nations. They developed on their own and didn't interfere with each other.
This created a strong competitive relationship between them. If they didn't want to be swallowed up, they had to continuously strengthen their own nation.
At the same time, wars between nations were very frequent.
Unlike the third-tier countries, where they lived peacefully with each other and wars were rare.
In addition, there was another rule. Any empire that was a fourth grade country or above was not allowed to invade a third grade country.
Those fourth tier countries didn't have the time to invade third tier countries. In their eyes, these third tier countries were just villages in the countryside.
A place that couldn't even afford to use the common currency of the continent's martial artists, crystal stones, didn't deserve to be called an empire.
"Oh!
Welcome, Your Highness Juan, to the Yardod Family. This old man, Pratt, greets you! "
His Highness Juen frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "Forget it."
You're just a country bumpkin from a third tier country. You actually don't kneel when you see this crown prince?
He was indeed a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
"I heard that today is your Na Bao's birthday. Why didn't you ask her to come out and welcome me? Don't you even know this little bit of etiquette?"
Crown Prince Juen heard that Na Bao was not only a genius in magic, but also a special beauty.
It was said that she was different from the other princesses of noble families, which made Crown Prince Juen curious.
Therefore, he couldn't help but come over to take a look. He had seen a lot of girls in the countryside, but very special ones were rare.
