BXBX NOVEL Chapter 142 - What If?
The question didn\'t stop his stroll as he looked up the blue sky. With his hands still supporting his head, he nonchalantly answered, "Hmm, not bad I suppose, but the fact that it was dominatingly ruled by humans make it less variant, that\'s all."
From the moment Lyon stepped inside this ludicrous place, he didn\'t even see any demi-human. Unlike Kingdom Nostria, Luderia prohibited the entering of such race. The humans were a prideful being, they always thought that the other races were beneath them.
His remark made the princess contemplate while walking, "Hmm, can you elaborate a bit more?"
Her response stopped Lyon from his walking before he turned around to face her. "I never thought you would be interested in this kind of stuff," said Lyon with a smirk.
The princess\'s eyes opened wide as she just realized what she had done. (Oh no! I just dig my own grave!) thought her.
Cold sweat was building upon her forehead as she took a half-step back. With a shaking head along with her hands, she said, "Oh, it\'s just a hobby of mine, just a hobby!"
Lyon chuckled at her expression as he said, "No need to get all worked up you know."

(He bought it!) thought Princess Aelina as she was relieved.
With a smile, Lyon turned away from her and continued his walk before Princess Aelina naturally followed after him.
"I don\'t think I\'m an expert in handling political situations or handling a kingdom this big, but if you want my opinion, I don\'t see what\'s wrong in sharing."
Princess Aelina tentatively perked her ears as she was ready to listen.
"There are indeed pros and cons of having more than one race in a kingdom. I will say about the pros first. For example, if a kingdom has multiple races as its citizens, they would have a wide variety of kingdoms to negotiate with, unlike the kingdom with only one race."
Lyon took a soft breath as he continued, "On the military side, unlike humans, other races had specialties because of their race. I don\'t think I need to explain this one further as I\'m sure you already know by a simple imagination."
The princess listened to his explanation as she put her slender finger on her chin before asking, "Then what about the cons?"
Lyon closed his eyes for a while before continuing, "Like the pros, the cons are not to be trifled with. One of the most problematic cases would be, infighting."
"Infighting?" asked Princess Aelina as she raised her eyebrows.
"En, infighting. The idea of having multirace citizens is quite noble, it may work on smaller kingdoms, but once they grew to the size of an empire, it\'s a different matter," answered Lyon.
"There would be some imbalance. One race might be more populated than the others and their pride started to sink in. Indirectly, that one race would oppress the other races and treason to overrule the empire is not an impossibility."
"An empire without land is nothing, an empire without a ruler is nothing, an empire without a citizen is also nothing," ended Lyon with a smile.
The princess entered a deep contemplation after hearing his opinion. (So that\'s why royal father made an ultimatum of only humans are allowed to enter Luderia. If the races were busy fighting each other, we would be destroyed. Even if we could end the fighting, our resources would be expended and the neighboring kingdoms would see this as a chance to wipe us out).
"Well, what do you think about my opinion? Pretty amateurish huh?" teased Lyon as he looked at the contemplating young woman.
Hearing his question, Princess Aelina shook her head, "I don\'t know about amateurish or not but your opinion definitely brings new light to my point of view."
Unbeknownst to her, she exuded her royal bearing when she said the sentence. This occurrent made Lyon furrowed his eyebrows as he said, "You know, if I looked at you really closely, you have a slight resemblance to Princess Chloe."
"Eh?!" his remark caught the princess off guard as she took a step back. "Y-you think so?", said the princess as she couldn\'t help but looked away, not daring to face his starry eyes.
"En, your chestnut hair and that face, if you tied up your hair in a ponytail manner, I might have mistaken you as her older sister hahaha."
"Wha-what? Ah stop it, you are making me blush, she is a beautiful princess while I\'m just a noble," said Princess Aelina.
"Right." chuckled Lyon before Aelina followed.
*cough
The beautiful princess made a cough to lead the conversation as she asked, "If you were an emperor, how would you handle your empire?"
Her question made Lyon contemplate for a while before smiling at her face.
"Isn\'t it obvious, with a lot of beautiful women as my citizens! No matter what race they are, I would handle them with care and lots of love!" said Lyon as he nodded while closing his eyes, grinning as he imagined the perfect empire.
His answer made the princess dumbstruck. Her mouth was wide opened as she heard what he just said. She tried to put the Lyon that explain the pros and cons of multirace kingdoms and this Lyon together but failed to do so.
Lyon looked at her as he said, "I see, you are speechless at my magnificent idea HAHAHA!"
He faced the sky as he put on a burst of hearty laughter.
In a corner of a shadow, a godly beautiful figure with fox ears was shaking her head while the other beautiful figure one, was crouching down with her left hand on her stomach as little giggle would sometimes sneak out from her mouth that she covered with her right hand.
