'Should I tell her the truth? But if they learn that I am not from the royal family… No, I should pretend to be a Dragon Emperor for my own safety…'
After pondering for a moment, Yuan has decided to act as though he was from the Royal Dragon Family, as he would be killed if he wasn't.
"That's right, I am indeed from the Royal Dragon Family," he said to Shen Shi in a calm voice.
Of course, Shen Shi wasn't completely convinced by his words, as there are several questionable points about his claims.
First, why has he kept his identity a secret until now? If he'd revealed his identity earlier, he wouldn't have been treated so roughly.
Secondly, he didn't have concrete proof that he was from a royal family, and they won't be able to verify his identity until they bring him back to their family, where the tools to verify his identity is available.
