Chapter 522: My Streaming Career Begins!
Empress Forminaxtrass, the lich dragon of Dusk Nest and rank S dark-elemental dragon. Like the majority of the dragon empresses apart from Gaistrus and Mom, she was not a former dragon ruler of her nest, but to the sisterhood of dragon empresses, she was considered by all of them to be an equal. Mom was fond of all of them, and from the interactions I witnessed myself, even if they had a fight or argument, their battle bond forged during the civil war kept them all close.
This unity was one part of the stability of Kargryx, now that Eltharion was mostly absent from his duties as emperor. The empresses were his hands and will. A power struggle would be fatal, especially if one of them acted like a normal dragon and lorded over the others with their strength. If I were an outsider, I would focus on Mom, as she wasn’t just a rank SS, unlike the others, but she has shown her defiance towards Eltharion numerous times for my sake. And every dragon child knew how obsessive dragon mothers could be.
Yet, Mom did not let that obstruct her and her empress-sisters’ duties. Gyadiosa handled peacekeeping and the military, Gaistrus managed the economy and mining operations, Virrflax had a hand on transportation and education, Yuilengreill was responsible for trade and cultural development, and Mom’s sole duty was to manage and assure that the usually independent-thinking Frozen Nest remained “chill” with the rest of Kagryx.
So, what was Forminaxtrass responsible for?
“Finally! This damn rock of a continent can finally take a step forward in scientific progression!” The lich dragon raised her arms in the air, causing gas to ooze out of her jelly-like body parts like a steam tank. “Marvelous! The knowledge of the ancients will be recorded in more than simple books!”
The development of technology and the preservation of history and information for the true dragonkin. To assure history would not repeat itself and that Kargryx may continue to prosper, even if the current dragon empress system were to be demolished once this generation ended.
However, at the same time, she might be the dragon who wished for cultural and scientific development the most. At least, that was what I understood from her almost fanatical poses she was doing in front of me. Her excitement about this matter was pretty infectious, if not a little bit intimidating.
Mom told her everything, I think. Hopefully she didn’t show her my sleeping videos … I felt a disturbance on my daughter alarm. Something told me that Mom did, in fact, show those vids again, and not only to Forminaxtrass, but to all remaining dragon empresses.
“Empress Forminaxtrass actually gave us the last ‘eureka’ for an issue we’ve been having,” Haruka explained. “While it’s true that Aleistunum’s idea for information transference can be beneficial, they still haven't found a way to implement that idea currently. Mana leaks on long-range communications, and we’ve solved one part of that problem by utilizing the mana barrier around a city like the internet. However, that only works inside that one city, which makes it more like a local network than the world wide web.”
