Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 146 - 121: Engagement? Ha!

Splash~

A huge splash bloomed as a silver fish was pulled up by a fine line, finally held steadily by a hand with smooth skin and full flesh.

"Noah, Gwen, we should go."

Casius removed the silver fish from the hook, tossed it back into the river, and called out to the cat and granddaughter beside him who were already in a daze.

"Oh, okay."

Noah leaped up, intending to squat on Little Gwen’s head, but was skillfully caught by Gwendolin who held him in her arms, appearing very harmonious from afar.

At this time, Gwendolin was nearly fourteen, tall and slender, with a natural grace. Though she used a spell to conceal her appearance, during this period of seclusion, she had attracted many restless youths and single young men from the entire street.

Noah often saw some ill-intentioned bachelors lingering at the door. Although he was a Golden Dragon, Noah was not at all polite at such times, throwing one harmless trick after another, slightly overdoing it with a Human Immobilization if necessary, and those too much were sent to the dungeon, then off to the Pioneering Team.

The main reason was Casius’ appearance as an old man, which lacked deterrence. As for Noah turned into a cat, there was even less deterrence; it was quite fortunate they didn’t take advantage of him.

However, it didn’t matter as long as Noah was willing; the entire street was filled with his elves. The ruling elf, accompanied by foster mother Selena, rose to power, truly controlling the Augustus family’s great authority, extending its reach across the entire territory, turning Elisium City into a fairy stronghold.

The seemingly petite and cute Little Fairy nowadays commanded respect and fear alike across the Augustus family’s domain, from noble officials to common merchants.

"Oh? Are you Old Carl’s son?"

When Casius was ready to leave with the granddaughter holding the golden cat, he happened to meet his neighbor, who, looking at the now-youthful man, found him familiar yet could not connect him with the previously stooping old man.

"Yes."

Casius responded; it was a novel experience for him, having become his own son.

"Then Miss Gwen is your daughter, right? She’s the most beautiful girl on our street. I wonder if she’s engaged? My son just passed this year..."

The pudgy middle-aged man’s gaze naturally fell on Gwendolin. Even her concealed appearance still drew eager attention.

"I’ve already sold the house here and will not be returning anymore."

"Oh, seems like my silly boy lost his chance."

The pudgy man was stunned, smiled with some regret, then realized something, hastily removed his hat, placed it to his chest, and slightly bowed,

"Though we are meeting for the first time, your father is a very respectable elder. You should treat your father well in the future; having only your daughter for company is not enough.

The security in Elisium is good, but there are influxes of outsiders every day. Lastly, wherever you move, I wish you a smooth journey and safe arrival."

"Thank you."

Casius expressed gratitude to the not-so-familiar man.

A simple conversation, and then this small riverside courtyard was completely empty. The two people and the cat forever vanished from the view of the street’s inhabitants; they would never know what kind of beings they had as neighbors for a while.

However, many youthful and adolescent boys would often nostalgically remember the cat-holding girl who accompanied her grandfather fishing.

"Unexpected though, even that chubby little guy who didn’t dare to look at you still remembers you."

Back in Mage City, Noah teasingly remarked to the now-grown girl.

"Is there such a person?"

Gwendolin showed a look of contemplation, a confused expression in her eyes, then shook her head,

"I don’t remember."

"We lived there for so long together, didn’t any boy on that street leave an impression on you?"

The Golden Dragon asked curiously.

"There was no need for me to remember them."

Gwen’s tone was quite indifferent.

"Tsk, that’s really a heartbreaking answer, but fortunately, they can’t hear it!"

Noah said gloatingly.

"I don’t care."

The girl’s expression was inexplicable, looking at the Golden Dragon revealing his true form,

"Dragon Dad, do you wish for me to form a marriage alliance with someone else?"

"Marriage alliance? Little Gwen, are you thinking of getting married? It just so happens, I have a royal marriage proposal here."

With a hint of amusement in her voice, an Arbitrary Gate appeared, and Selena stepped out of it, then tossed a Golden Book lightly towards Gwen.

However, before the girl could reach out to catch the Golden Book, the Golden Dragon snatched it in midair, glanced at it, and blazing flames ignited in his dragon claw, turning this Golden Book into a mass of golden liquid,

"What trash dares to covet my Gwen?"

"This is the prince with the highest magic talent of the royal family’s younger generation."

Selena couldn’t help but laugh at the Golden Dragon’s reaction.

"The most talented? Tidel back then cut the royal family’s so-called centennial most outstanding genius prince into a human stick. What is this current first prince anyway?"

Noah scoffed; the royal family’s royal authority came from that Legendary Mage, to whom they were direct descendants, but as the bloodline inheritance passed through hundreds of years, familial ties had long thinned.

In a certain sense, they were merely puppets managing the country from that Legendary Mage, leveraging his intimidating force.
