Never been in love?
What's the rush for a young dragon to be in love?
This giant dragon here hasn't even been in love yet.
"Don't think of me as so vicious, I don't eat my own kind."
Lance waved the golden-brown roast meat in front of Lucia a few times, "I'm asking if you want to eat roast meat, not if I can eat you."
"Really... not... not going to eat me?"
Lucia was still afraid, after all, the Evil Dragon, legend has it, dared to desecrate gods and devoured people city by city, anyone would be scared upon meeting the legendary Evil Dragon.
"I really won't eat you." Lance grinned, this Amethyst Young Dragon dared to snatch a princess in broad daylight in the Human World; yet, in front of a fellow dragon, she was so timid—she couldn't possibly believe he, the Black Dragon, would eat his own kind, could she?
"What's your name."
"Lu... Lulucia... My name is Lucia..."
Convinced that the Evil Dragon in front of her wasn't going to eat her for the time being, Lucia's fear lessened slightly.
Stay calm, the Evil Dragon said he doesn't eat his own kind, and currently, she looked like a dragon, as long as she didn't suddenly turn back into a human, she should not become the Evil Dragon's food.
Lucia eyed the golden-brown roast beast leg in Lance's dragon claw, a trickle of clear drool escaping the corner of her mouth—not that she was greedy, but the roast leg in the claw of the Evil Dragon simply smelled too good.
"Don't be so bold next time; taking a princess from the Human World isn't as easy as you think. If it weren't for me today, you might have been captured by those Griffin Knights, and then... you might have even been raised by that princess from the Imperial Capital."
You want to kidnap a princess, but the princess might want to keep a young dragon as a pet. Once she's tamed you, she could even use you as a mount."
"Here, eat up, you're too thin."
Lance stuffed the roast beast leg into Lucia's mouth.
Lucia, the Amethyst Young Dragon, appeared somewhat malnourished, with a skinny dragon body and limbs that seemed to lack strength.
Her appearance made it clear that she was a young dragon living alone; those who live with their parents are chubby, whereas those who leave their parents early and live alone often have nutritional deficiencies.
Lucia chomped away at the roast beast leg the Evil Dragon had stuffed into her mouth—so delicious that even the royal court chefs couldn't match this flavor.
What did the Evil Dragon just say?
Kidnap a princess?
He also said if not for him, she would have been captured by the Griffin Knights?
Pah.
If it hadn't been for this Evil Dragon falling from the sky so suddenly, those Griffin Knights at the Imperial Capital couldn't have caught her at all.
Kidnapping a princess is even more ludicrous.
She herself is a princess, why would she kidnap another princess?
No, that's not right; she currently looks like a dragon.
The Evil Dragon couldn't possibly think she was in the skies above the Imperial Capital Palace to kidnap a princess, could he?
But if the Evil Dragon really thought that way, then he would be... half right; the stinky older sister, she wouldn't take her even if she was given away for free.
Right, why didn't the Evil Dragon kidnap that stinky older sister when he descended from the sky?
Which is more attractive, a young dragon or a princess?
Wouldn't it be better to kidnap that stinky older sister?
Blame her own cowardice for being stunned by the Evil Dragon. If she had just shouted out then, to take the princess she had her eyes on too, maybe now her stinky older sister would be hugging her dragon tail, curled up in a ball, shivering together with her.
What a loss!
"Eat slowly, there's more when you finish."
The Evil Dragon turns out to have more conscience than that stinky older sister.
Before long, the huge roast beast leg was stripped to the bone by Lucia.
Just as she was preparing to rest, the Evil Dragon took the bone from her hand and stuffed another roast beast leg into her mouth.
Already somewhat full, Lucia wasn't too keen on eating more, but she didn't dare to refuse the kindness of the Evil Dragon before her, so she continued to munch away.
After finishing the second roast beast leg, Lucia's stomach turned round, and she began to burp one after another....
She hoped the Evil Dragon wasn't fattening her up... to then slaughter her and eat her flesh....
"Are you full?"
"Full... I'm full...."
"Do you want to go back to the place where you used to live? Or stay here?"
I want to go back to the Imperial Capital!
Lucia screamed in her heart.
However, she didn't dare tell the Evil Dragon the truth, fearing that if the Evil Dragon knew she wasn't a Young Dragon but the Princess of the Empire, he would definitely imprison her if not eat her.
Should she lie and deceive the Evil Dragon by saying she lived in some deep, secluded forest?
It didn't seem feasible, as if the Evil Dragon believed her and actually dropped her in some remote forest, there was an even greater chance she'd be eaten by magic beasts.
"Can I stay here?"
"You can."
"Wuu wuu wuu… You really are too kind."
Wuu wuu wuu, I don't want to stay here, I want to fight my way back to the Imperial Capital and reclaim everything that belongs to me!
Lucia began to cry earnestly.
I can't go back, I can never go back.
And there was no chance to become the Emperor of Farolan anymore.
The rest of her life... would be spent here as a Young Dragon, living with the Evil Dragon.
She truly didn't have the courage to refuse the kindness of the Evil Dragon...
And she didn't dare refuse...
Who knows, if she refused the Evil Dragon, in a fit of anger he might eat her.
Even if he didn't eat her and let her leave, she couldn't make it on her own. The island the Evil Dragon dwelled on was an unknown distance from the mainland. Asking her to fly, she might die of exhaustion before reaching the mainland…
"My name is Lance, you can call me by my name."
"Lance? Evil Dragon Lance?"
Lucia touched her round belly with her Dragon Claw, and as she considered carefully, she recalled that history had seen many powerful Evil Dragons. Of course, the fate of these Evil Dragons wasn't always great; they either were slaughtered or became the mounts or trophies of heroes and warriors.
Evil Dragon Lance...
Historically, there seemed to be no Evil Dragon named Lance; there was one named Demos, though...
"It seems like there's no legend about an Evil Dragon with your name."
"You think anyone can just become an Evil Dragon? To be an Evil Dragon, first you need strength, influence, and a background.
Without strength, influence, or background, any Giant Dragon causing trouble out there would be killed. You were just lucky to run into the Human World and to come across me. If it weren't for me running into you by chance, your fate... would not be to become a Princess's mount, but her armor, boots, or weapons.
Your Dragon Blood might even become the Magic Potion for a Princess's bath. A Giant Dragon's body is all treasure. While you covet the beauty of human Princesses, humans also covet your Dragon Scales, Dragon Teeth, Dragon Head, Dragon Blood, Dragon Tendons, and so on...
That's not right... From your name, you're a female Young Dragon. As a female Young Dragon, why would you do what those adult male Evil Dragons do?
They rush to the Human World to steal Princesses, purely to satisfy their desires. What do you, a female Young Dragon, want with stealing a Princess?"
"......"
Lucia really wanted to muster the courage to criticize the Evil Dragon in front of her. From beginning to end, it was always this Evil Dragon saying she stole the Princess.
She never thought of stealing that stinking elder Imperial sister; she just wanted to drive her out of the Imperial Capital...
"A brilliant sword suits a hero, and a Princess suits an Evil Dragon. It's quite normal for me to want to become an Evil Dragon of historical fame and kidnap a Princess to take home, right?"
"......"
Lance had no response; he felt there was a lot of sense in what Lucia said.
"Is it your dream to become an Evil Dragon?"
"Yes, yes, yes, my dream is to become a historically famous Evil Dragon!"
Wuu wuu wuu, my dream is to become the Emperor of the Farolan Empire....
