Chapter 8 - History!

Adam was sitting on the back of Astridra, gazing out over the sprawling kingdom below. As they soared through the air, Astridra pointed out her favorite places, explaining the vastness of the island. According to her, this island is as large as a kingdom. It's the capital of the Dragon Empire. There are four kingdoms in total, each ruled by kings and queens. But above all, the emperor and the empress rule over everything.

To Adam's knowledge, If you combined all the kingdoms, they'd be as big as America, with millions of dragons—enough to conquer or destroy the world. But fortunately, the world only knows of one kingdom, not the others.

She went on, explaining how the emperor had ten children. Five were born to the empress, while the other five were the offspring of the emperor's two concubines—one had three children, the other two. These children served the main heirs as maids, butlers, or bodyguards. While the main heirs are the rulers of each of the four kingdoms.

When dragons leave the island, they have to transform into their human form so as to not cause panic when they visit villages, towns, cities, countries or kingdoms. Some dragons act as merchants to buy goods, sell goods, and earn money.

"When dragons leave the island, they transform into their human forms to avoid causing panic," Astridra continued. "Some act as merchants, buying and selling goods. Others become adventurers, teachers, magicians, or just ordinary people to experience life, earn money, or gather information. Some even use magic to transform into orcs, goblins, demi-humans, or trolls. But the exception being elves—they can always recognize a dragon."

She glanced at Adam, who was listening intently. He never cried or made any noise during their journey, a sign of his intelligence. "I hope you understand everything I'm telling you, my darling," she said affectionately.

As they flew around the kingdom, other dragons in their human forms joined them in the sky. Some larger dragons soared nearby, casting shadows on the ground below. It took the entire day to explore the kingdom, and as dusk fell, Astridra flew back to Adam's room. She landed gracefully on the balcony, and Adam held onto her neck for support. She cradled him to her chest and walked into the room, sitting down on the couch with Adam on her lap, gently patting his head.

"Was that fun, my sweet little brother?" She asked.

Adam nodded, surprising her. "Hah! So my darling can understand?" she exclaimed, rubbing her cheek against his. "Can you speak?" she asked, but Adam shook his head.

"No matter! As long as you understand, I can talk to you about anything!" she said excitedly. Adam realized this meant he'd have a constant companion.

*sigh*

She sighed suddenly, catching Adam's attention. Her face turned sad. "Unfortunately, i have to leave the island for a while, to take care of something important. It might take years, but don't worry. When I come back, we'll have all the time in the world to be together!"

She said excitedly, then she looked down at herself and noticed all the scales covering her body, she also still had her wings and tails out.

She seems to have noticed her mistake, which made her suddenly stand up and place Adam on the couch by himself, making Adam look up at her.

"I should have changed my appearance! I'm sorry if my scales hurt you!" She said, making Adam look dumbfounded at, 'lady! You just noticed! What happened to your brain?!' Adam thought while on the surface, he just stared at her as if confused, he also did not mind the scales.

Transform!" she said, closing her eyes. Her body was enveloped in a bright light. When it faded, she had transformed. Her black hair flowed down her back, her orange eyes glowed with a faint red hue, and two thin horns adorned her head. Her wings were tucked neatly behind her, and her skin was a pale white. She wore a revealing outfit—white stockings, a small top connected to a neck wrap, and only panties to cover her lower body.

'What kind of clothes is she wearing?!' Adam thought, focusing on her outfit rather than her transformation.

She opened her eyes and turned to look at Adam, she saw him surprised and he was also looking at her in a strange way which made her tilt her head to the size. She noticed that he was looking at her body.

Curious, she looked down. She was also surprised as the clothes she was wearing were a bit too revealing, especially the piece of clothes she used to cover her private parts. She blushed heavily, but did not cover her body, instead she proudly stood there letting Adam look at her as much as he wanted, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, " darling~, you like what you see?" She teases him which in return Adam didn't say anything.

'I don't like it!' Adam thought, wanting to keep her appearance to himself. He would have to make her change clothes when they were outside.

Of course, Astridra hundreds of years of experience made her see the face Adam was making, and instantly knew what he was thinking about even though he was still a baby, but dragons are dragons.

She was extremely happy that he got jealous of her, a bright smile formed on her face, "darling~ are you perhaps jealous that others will see me in these clothes?" She asked, making Adam a bit surprised, 'can this woman really read minds?' He thought, but he still nodded his head to answer her question.

The smile on Astridra's face widened more, she extended her hands and picked up Adam into her arms, " Don't worry darling~, I will only wear these clothes when I'm with you alone. After all, you are the only one who's allowed to see my naked body! Anyone other than you will have to die a painful death!" She said with yet another crazy smile which Adam was used to already.

He was also glad that his sister is not the dump type, she appears to be smart enough to take care of herself. But really, the only ones who are strong enough to beat her are probably their father and mother, anyone else will die instantly!

Astridra look out the window, the sky was already dark, she looked at Adam, then she turn her head to the side to look at the bed made for four people, she seem to have thought of something as she look at adam with stars in her eyes, "darling! Can we sleep together?! Please~!" She said while making a cute puppy face, of course adam was immune to it, after all, who would be weak enough to fall for it?

But still, he nodded his head to her as this sister of his will leave tomorrow morning to do something important, at least that's what she said.

Seeing Adam nod his head, her eyes brightened up, then she rapidly walked towards the bed while Adam was in her arm, upon reaching it, she immediately got into it with Adam.

She was pushing Adam's head into her chest as she lay sideways with Adam in front of her, she lifted her legs and wrapped it around Adam whose face was in her chest.

Not even five seconds passed before she passed out, going into the realm of dreams. Adam just sighs and he also went into the realm of dreams not long after. A few seconds later a Ding was heard in the mind of Adam, he did not notice it nor did he see the content written on the translucent screen that suddenly appeared.

[Ding! New family member was found! Astridra Banehorn(sister, lover!)]

[Hahaha! As expected of master! He melted the heart of the coldest heart that exists in the dragon empire!]
