I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

The Kind and caring dragon son of governance was all a facade, this cruel plotting man was his true self.

Marcus seemed to sense Lloyd's unrest and quickly spoke.

"Now Lloyd, calm down. That boy is not the same as the other people we've dealt with." 

"If you get caught, you can say goodbye to the hope of inheriting the throne!" warned Marcus

  Calming his discomfort put on his fake smile once more as he replied

"I guess we can leave him for now. He's still in the Martial Novice realm. It'll take at least another three years before he can even become a slight threat."

Slowly, Lloyd and Marcus rose back into the air and left the scene.

But little Did Lloyd know that he would come to regret this choice forever. In fact, when asked later, he would confidently say it was the biggest mistake of his life.

...

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Vincent burst into his office, dragging Dante along with him.

"thud!"

Vincent flung Dante Into a cushioned chair.

Looking up from his chair, Dante saw his grandfather sitting opposite him, calmly drinking a cup of tea.

"I heard you got in trouble again," said jarred nonchalantly.

He so calm it was almost as if he had already been expecting something similar already. 

"It's not my fault" complained Dante 

"As the Dragon Son, it's only right that I Stand up for the department of war!"

Hearing Dante's words, jarred only passively nodded.

"I hear you, I hear you," said Jarred 

"I've already given up trying to stop you from getting into trouble. Just do me a favour and get ready, will you? You've got a big event later today."

"Big event?" Asked Dante

Dante was left puzzled at Jarred's words. From his memory, he was almost 100% certain that Jarred hadn't told him any important news recently.

  "Didn't I tell you yesterday?" Asked Jarred

"Today you have a meeting with the princess"

"meeting with a princess?" Said Dante in disbelief 

  Seeing Dante's shock, Jarred couldn't help but have a proud smile on his face

"What? You thought I was joking when I said I could marry you off to a princess?" 

'well, shit,' Thought Dante

Dante himself was stunned to hear such news.

Who would have thought that the seemingly random boasting of his grandfather would actually have some substance to it?

"Well, what are you waiting for? Go get ready!"

still surprised by this shocking news he had just heard, Dante slowly stumbled his way out Vincent's office to get dressed in his best clothes.

....

Hours later, a luxurious carriage pulled up outside a giant mansion.

Suddenly the door of the carriage was kicked open and out stepped out a handsome young man.

He was dressed in a black and gold robe whilst two sharp, pointy ears poked out of his flowing white hair.

With a proud smile on his face, the young man assessed the mansion in front of him.

Of course, this man was Dante.

As Dante was taking in his new surroundings, two old men followed quickly behind him and stepped out of the carriage.

Vincent and Jared slowly walked up beside Dante.

Slowly, Jarred patted Dante on the shoulder as he asked.

"Boy, are you ready?"

with a confident smile on his face, Dante calmly replied 

"Grandfather, has there ever been a time I'm not ready?"

seeing Dante's usual confidence, Jarred couldn't help but laugh

"Hahaha! What a cocky kid. You're truly just like your father."

" Well, if you said you're ready, then let's head in."

With that, the group didn't linger anymore and entered into the compound

...

After a brief check at the gate, Dante and the group slowly made it into the mansion, where they were guided to the room by the head butler of the mansion.

As Dante was walking, he seemed to remember something and asked.

"Grandfather I've got a question to ask"

"Hmm? Go ahead" replied Jarred 

"Well, it's about the princess. I never got round to asking her age." 

"Oh, that's it? I must have forgotten to tell you," said Jarred.

"I think the princess should be turning 26 this year so she is probably around 25 currently."

"Oh right, 25." Said Dante 

"Wait, 25!"

Damn!

Even in his previous life, Dante was still younger than her.

but besides that, in his current life, he was only 15! 

That would make the princess almost 11 years his senior.

'Well, shit!'

'11 years and she still getting married to me! I'm a minor, I swear that's illegal!' Dante's thoughts were already in disarray at this new development.

Vincent also seemed to notice this and spoke

"Come on now Dante. Why are you acting so surprised? An 11 year age gap is actually not that bad when you think about it"

"Not that bad? Granduncle Vincent, the age gap between us is almost as old as I am!"

Seeing Dante's worries, Vincent couldn't help but continue

"Trust me, with an 11 year age gap, you should consider yourself lucky. I have seen some poor souls be married off with an age gap much worse...."

hearing Vincent's words, Dante soon imagined the dark scene of him being married off to an 80-year-old grandma.

Instantly, his body shivered in what could only be described as utter fear and disgust.

Now that Dante thought about it, an 11 year age gap didn't sound so bad.

Well, at least compared to the compare to other grim possibilities he could possibly get, this was definitely not the worst.

While Dante was still recovering from the grim scene Vincent put in his head, the group didn't slow down and kept walking until they came before an enormous set of ornate double doors.

Seeing they had made it to the last room, the leading butler suddenly stopped as he turned towards Dante and the others.

"sirs, this is the room I was instructed to bring you to.. I have been instructed not to enter the room so this as far as I can take you."
