Chapter 1055: We Dream Together.
A majestic white Dragon, with shimmering white scales that nearly blended with the clouds around it, hovered in the air. Its intense, penetrating violet draconic eyes silently watched the war below.
Two armies, each numbering over 30,000 men and women, were led by his Daughters.
Over time, the smaller Factions of his Daughters eventually merged into 3 major Factions that had several smaller Factions under them.
Ironically, the three Factions were named Scarlett, Fulger, and Snow.
The reason for this was that the Family of Victor's three Daughters led the respective Factions.
The Dragon in the sky could not help but find such a scenario amusing. Even after observing the overall picture for several years, it was clear that Victor had nothing to do with this narrative. Things just progressed in this way.
With their Powers sealed, fighting alone was suicide, and the Beings of this Dream acted just like real Beings—they had feelings, and they thought they were 'alive'.
Thus, even though girls like Gina wanted to form their own Faction, she didn't exactly know how to progress with this. The inexperience in a situation where they couldn't rely on their Father and needed to fend for themselves was quite evident.
They had theoretical knowledge, they had learned from the best, but what good was that if they couldn't apply it in practice?
Here, no one was The Emperor's Daughter, so the Beings here were not afraid of them. They might be powerful, but there were some Beings here who were stronger than them too.
Actions spoke louder than status.
Therefore, uniting was the most viable option. And since they didn't want to unite with other strange Beings, they united with their Sisters and began to attack the Dream Beings. Eventually, due to these actions, each group of their Daughters who went to their respective continents ended up uniting under a banner, which coincidentally ended up being the Family of Victor's first three Wives.
Even though the Dragon was positioned above the conflicting armies, its presence was so subtle that it went unnoticed, as if it were merely a vision or an illusion, invisible to those involved in the chaos below. This Dragon not only witnessed the battle but did so with an analytical gaze, as if studying every movement and strategy,
"They have improved a lot, they are no longer as inexperienced as before, and they can fend for themselves, but it's still not the best it can be... The lack of real consequences is what's driving this scenario."
'This is something that should be addressed as soon as they finish.' The Dragon knew it couldn't change this unless the children went through something similar to what Nero and Ophis experienced.
And knowing their Father, he would not do such a thing again unless it was extremely necessary.
'Well, such an outcome isn't bad either. After all, they are here to learn in a controlled environment. These things can be taught as homework or something.' The Dragon thought.
Suddenly, a red Dragon appeared in the clouds and looked at the white Dragon with a clearly critical gaze.
The white Dragon snorted and made a gesture resembling a pout, a gesture that did not match the majestic beast at all.
"Follow me." The red Dragon ordered and soon began to fly.
Grumbling, the white Dragon followed the red Dragon, flying towards a mountainous area. Soon, the majestic sight of a golden Dragon was seen. The Dragon was clearly bored, they were even playing with a lightning sphere in their hand, a sphere powerful enough to destroy an entire city... But we don't talk about that here, moving forward.
As soon as the golden Dragon saw the other Dragons, the knowing look in the golden Dragon's eyes vanished completely, along with the lightning sphere.
As soon as the red and white Dragons landed, lights covered the two. Seeing what was happening, the golden Dragon wasted no time and quickly did the same.
Seconds later, three women with supernatural appearances stood facing each other.
The cloak was adorned with the symbol of Violet's mercenary organization: an elegant violet flower beside a sleeping Dragon, suggesting that the Dragon protected the flower. This crest symbolized not only the organization to which she belonged but also power and protection.

Initially just a simple mercenary, over the years, she grew to become a woman commanding over 30,000 men and women directly and many more across the continent due to her Mercenary Guild.
Each was dressed in her own style of clothing. Violet, for example, unlike her usual attire, was wearing a leather armor that not only served as protection but also enhanced her beauty. The piece was complemented by a red cloak covering her right arm, bringing a touch of vibrant color to the otherwise monochrome brown of the leather armor.

Initially just a simple mercenary, over the years, she grew to become a woman commanding over 30,000 men and women directly and many more across the continent due to her Mercenary Guild.
Violet, the Leader of the Mercenary Guild, was also known as the Queen of Mercenaries.
"What were you doing there, Violet?"
"I was watching my Daughters lead their armies," Violet quickly replied. "They are doing very well each time they fight each other. Even the casualties are not as high as before." She smiled proudly, the progress was visible in her beloved Daughters.
As time passed, and the longer she stayed, the 'stronger' she became. With that, more of her characteristics awakened. Although not a True Dragon as she was outside this Dream, she was still a Dragon, a frightening existence for most Beings.
Violet narrowed her eyes at Ruby. "And you, Mrs.' I have the whole economy of the country in my pocket,' what were you doing there?" She asked, making air quotes around Ruby's excessively long title.
Ruby snorted, wearing an elegant, long red dress with sleeves covering up to her hands, complemented by black gloves. Her long red hair was loose, quite unlike her usual ponytail. The dress was as practical as it was beautiful, with a slit on the right leg that not only added a stylistic element but also ensured mobility, allowing her to showcase her high-heeled shoes.
She had fully adapted to the role of a noble, wealthy, and demure lady... which wasn't difficult considering how she was raised. She just hadn't needed to show this side of herself much. Personally, she preferred to lose herself in her anime, her experiments, and, of course, spending a lot of time with her Husband.
Opening her fan, displaying the crest of a spear piercing gold coins, she said, "I was checking on our newborn Daughter. I'm glad to see that Akasha is not only getting along well with my Daughter but also acting as a mediator for the whole war."
"...Oh? She didn't use her knowledge to promote the side of the Scarletts?" Sasha asked curiously.
Unlike Ruby and Violet, Sasha hadn't fully assumed the role of a tragic princess... She had instead surpassed that role by becoming the strongest existence in the world, from a fallen princess to the only SSS-ranked adventurer who could complete any mission.
She could have used her fame to rebuild her kingdom, but she didn't bother since people were happy with the current kingdom, and a country was made of people. A country without people was not a country. She understood this very well. Therefore, she focused more on her strength and became famous enough to wander anywhere without being bothered.
Sasha was wearing a similar version of the outfit she wore outside of this Dream, with the only change being the sword at her waist. She had decided to use this Dream to improve the fencing that her Grandmother - who was also her Sister; yes, it was strange like that. - improved throughout her life, to try to improve it even more. She had already learned fencing during the past 2000 years but never reached her full potential like Carmilla.
She was called Thunder Queen, Lioness Queen, Furious Queen, etc. All her Titles had some form of Queen in its name due to her origins that everyone knew. Because she was so strong, it likely felt inappropriate to call her 'princess'. Though, Sasha didn't like any of these Titles, with the exception of just one.
The Fastest Woman Alive, the Title that her Mother still held. In this Dream it was hers, so she was satisfied.
Because her Family was bigger now, they were all competitors for this Title. In terms of pure speed, Sasha would be the winner, but to have the Title of the fastest woman alive, the condition was not to be the fastest, ironically speaking, but to be the most proficient in the use of Lightning.
In this regard, Sasha was in second place, losing to Natashia, who used her Power in very strange and perverted ways... Sasha blushed slightly when she remembered her Mother's actions.
'That must be why she is so proficient; she is simply very perverted!' Sasha snorted internally.
Camila was in third place, with Naty and Victoria in fourth place... For now.
Just like women change their underwear easily, this ranking could change very quickly too. For example, it has been 10 years since Sasha was in this Dream, and she definitely hadn't sat around doing nothing. She took advantage of the fact that her Power was sealed to review the basics, so maybe she had surpassed her Mother when she returned.
And probably when her Mother found out about this, she would also try to do something to regain her throne as the fastest woman. In general, this whole situation with the Title of the 'Fastest Woman Alive' was just a way for the women of the Fulger Clan to compete in a friendly competition and consequently become stronger.
