Chapter 68 I hope you can care for me until the end of my life.
Last night, she overheard the Evil Dragon and the Hell Grim Reaper while they were communicating through a projected call.
A human butler named Brandon wanted to ask the Evil Dragon to take on the role of a temporary butler and accompany a young lady named Joanna in the Human World.
If the Evil Dragon went, he probably wouldn't be able to return for a short while.
As for whether she wanted to go to the Human World... of course she did. Being an imperial princess from the Human World, how could she not desire to visit the Human World?
Moreover, she had almost stayed on the island for half a month, and although she had no worries about food and drink... after a long time... she inevitably missed the hustle and bustle of the Human World.
The imperial princess, who was only fifteen years old, naturally preferred the glitzy and glamorous world of humanity.
"I'm not sending you to the Human World to be a temporary butler, but to be a young girl's emotional mentor, to heal the emotional scars of a young human girl, and to also prepare you for some exposure to the Human World," Lance lifted his Dragon Claw and touched the Young Dragon's head.
The Young Dragon had recently become somewhat reticent, occasionally flying onto Turtle's back, lying there and staring at the sea lost in thought.
She didn't seem to like staying on the island all the time, and although the Young Dragon didn't say so, he could still sense it.
Young Dragons of this age are at their peak of curiosity and desire to explore, and staying in one area for a long time can indeed make a Young Dragon feel stifled.
He wanted the Young Dragon to stay on the island until she was capable of protecting herself... before venturing out to see and experience the outside world.
He firmly believed that this was for the Young Dragon's own good.
It never occurred to him to consider whether the Young Dragon could adapt to such a life.
The Young Dragon was not him.
Their living environments were different, and so were their encounters.
In his youth, he could spend decades in one area because he had no adult Giant Dragons to raise him, and his living environment was quite harsh.
He dared not make contact with humans for fear of encountering powerful humans who might abduct him and turn him into armor or a belt.
The Young Dragon was different. She had a Black Dragon Dad with some strength, so there was no need for her to live like he did in his youth.
If she got bored staying on the island and wanted to play in the Human World, to change her mood a bit, that was possible.
With him, her Black Dragon Dad, to Escort and Protect her, could there be any humans who might harm her?
As for studying and getting stronger, she could take her time. The Young Dragon was not human; she had plenty of time to learn and grow stronger slowly.
There was no need to be so rigid in educating the Young Dragon.
If she wanted to play, then he would take her out to play.
Even during play, she could learn a few things.
This was his first time interacting with a Young Dragon, the first time being a dad taking care of a child, so it was normal to have some shortcomings.
Correcting them in time, promptly adjusting the way he interacted with the Young Dragon was important.
Being a qualified Black Dragon Dad... was a challenging task.
"Dragon Whelp, we've been together for nearly half a month now, and you've seen that I'm not as scary and unreasonable as you imagined, so, in the future, if you have any thoughts, you can talk to me directly. For example, if you're bored on the island and want to go out to play, you can ask me if I can take you to the Human World, or go to other places to visit. Explore more stories with empire
Generally, I will agree. Of course, if you complete the lessons and homework I've assigned to you beyond expectations, I will give you some additional rewards.
Maybe I will even award you certificates, like... a silver certificate for the Three Goods Young Dragon, or perhaps... a gold certificate for the [Five Goods Young Dragon], and besides these, there are also [Diligent Study Award], [Brave Young Dragon Award], and so on.
If you manage to earn these certificates, you can keep them, and when you grow up, one day you might come across them unexpectedly and you'll realize, it turns out I was... so outstanding in my youth."
"......."
Why does it feel like the Evil Dragon is coaxing a child?
He's just like parents who use money or candy to persuade their children to study hard.
Well, she is a Young Dragon, so it seems normal for the Evil Dragon to coddle her like a child.
Still, something feels a bit off.
As for what's off...
The gaze!
Yes!
It's the gaze!
The way the Evil Dragon looks at her is somewhat odd!
That indulgent look...
It's just like the way the noble young masters in the imperial capital look at their beloved...
Could it be that as they spend more time together, the Evil Dragon finds her more and more adorable?
And grows fonder of her?
No, that won't do. She's still young; the Evil Dragon can't like her.
She should take the chance to run away.
Otherwise, what if one day the Evil Dragon couldn't help himself and confessed to her...
She didn't even know how to refuse.
At this stage, the Evil Dragon was raising her like a Young Dragon.
After a few hundred or a thousand more years... what the Evil Dragon would raise her as... was hard to say.
The perception of the Evil Dragon was very acute.
He must have sensed something to suddenly say so much to her.
Perhaps his sudden decision to go to the Human World had something to do with her, the Young Dragon.
She couldn't stay put on the island.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Evil Dragon found the island very comfortable.
Basking in the sun in the morning.
Going for a swim in the infinity pool at noon.
Making tea for himself in the afternoon.
And at night... taking a dip in the hot spring before bed.
The Evil Dragon knew how to enjoy life.
He even knew how to enjoy life better than her, the imperial princess.
But taking a hot spring bath really was comfortable.
Hehe, she had followed the Evil Dragon to the hot spring several times.
"I will study hard, don't treat me like a child... and that... that... you know... thank you for taking care of me... I will definitely repay your kindness to me in the future, really!"
Except for not being your wife, everything else is possible.
Young Dragon Lucia added silently in her heart.
"You don't need to repay me. If you really want to repay me, just take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die."
"That... that... if I live past you... it's not like I can't take care of you in your old age and see you off..."
The Young Dragon muttered quietly.
She estimated there was a great chance that it would be the Evil Dragon taking care of her in her old age and seeing her off, not just a great chance but a certainty if she couldn't escape in the next few decades!
When she died of old age, she could forget about becoming the emperor.
She might as well go to hell and take up the Evil Dragon's position as the Grim Reaper in advance.
"By the way, Lance, if you go to the Human World, will you take that squid lady?"
"What squid lady? Child, I'm 3455 years old this year. At my age, my memory isn't so good."
"......"
Evil Dragon was shirking responsibility.
But it's right not to bring the squid lady. The Evil Dragon had said that if the inexperienced squid lady went to the Human World, she'd want to taste everything she saw.
In that case, who knows if people walking on the streets might end up in the mouth of the squid lady...
"So when do you plan to go to the Human World?"
"July first."
Today is June 29th, tomorrow, the day after?
The day after tomorrow the Evil Dragon would take her to the Human World for fun!
Yayヾ(✿゚▽゚)ノ!
"Will you bring Er Gouzi and Turtle?"
"No, I won't take them. If you miss them, we can always come back."
"Ah? Then how long do we have to fly?"
"For me, I can fly back in a day. As for you... it might take ten days, half a month, or maybe even a month.
But I have a portal. With coordinates set, we can play in the Human World during the day and return through the portal to sleep at night."
"???"
I've started to brew my farewell speech in my heart, and you're telling me that after going to the Human World, we can still come back to sleep at night?
Doesn't that mean... after playing in the Human World all day, she comes back at night... and still has to run into Turtle?
How does the poor Evil Dragon have a portal...
If you had a portal, why did you fly back last time...
Eva's curse... does it have a dual effect?
Cursing me to become a dragon, and then making me encounter the Evil Dragon and be captured...
