The Loser Imperial Daughter: Yes, Yes, Yes, I Want to Become an Outstanding Evil Dragon. Never even dated?
Why was a dragonling in such a hurry to date? He was already an adult dragon and had never dated either.
"Don't think I'm that cruel. I don't eat my own kind."
Lance waved the golden-brown Roasted Meat in front of Lucia. "I'm asking whether you want to eat this, not whether I want to eat you."
"Really... you won't... eat me?"
Lucia was still afraid. An evil dragon—legendary evil dragons dared to blaspheme even gods. When they ate people, they devoured entire cities at a time. Anyone would be scared upon seeing a legendary evil dragon.
"I really won't eat you." Lance grinned. This Amethyst Dragonling had dared to snatch a princess in broad daylight from the human imperial capital, yet she was this timid before one of her own kind. Did she really think a black dragon like him would eat his own kind?
"What's your name?"
"L-L-Lucia. My name is Lucia."
Once she was sure the evil dragon in front of her would not eat her for the moment, the fear in Lucia's heart eased slightly.
Calm down. The evil dragon said he doesn't eat his own kind. I'm in dragon form right now. As long as I don't suddenly turn back into a human, I shouldn't become his food.
Lucia stared at the golden Roasted Beast Leg in Lance's dragon claw, and a little clear drool trickled from the corner of her mouth. It was not that she was greedy—the Roasted Beast Leg in the evil dragon's claw simply smelled too good.
"Don't be so reckless in the future. Princesses in the human world aren't as easy to snatch as you think. If it weren't for me today, those Griffin Knights in the human world might have captured you alive, and then... perhaps the princess of that imperial capital would have kept you as a pet.
"You want to snatch a princess, but perhaps the princess wants to raise a dragonling for fun. Once she raised you well, she could even use you as a mount.
"Here. Eat. You're too skinny."
Lance stuffed the Roasted Beast Leg in his dragon claw into Lucia's mouth.
This Amethyst Dragonling, Lucia, was somewhat malnourished. Her dragon body was small and thin, and her limbs did not look particularly strong either.
One look at her was enough to tell that she was a dragonling who lived alone. Dragonlings who lived with their parents were all plump and round. Only dragonlings who left their parents early and lived alone suffered from malnutrition.
Lucia gnawed away at the Roasted Beast Leg the evil dragon had stuffed into her mouth. It was so delicious. Even the royal chefs could not make Roasted Meat that tasted this good.
What had the evil dragon just said? Snatching a princess? And if not for him, she would have been captured alive by the Griffin Knights?
Pah.
If this evil dragon had not suddenly fallen from the sky, the Griffin Knights in the imperial capital would never have caught her.
And the part about snatching a princess was even more ridiculous.
She herself was a princess. Why would she snatch one? No, wait—she was in dragon form now.
Did the evil dragon think she had appeared over the imperial palace to abduct a princess and take her home? If that was what he thought, then he was half right. As for that awful Imperial Sister, Lucia would not take her even if she were given away for free.
That was right. Why had the evil dragon not abducted that awful Imperial Sister when he descended from the sky?
How could a dragonling compare to a princess?
Wouldn't it have been better to abduct that awful Imperial Sister? It was also her own fault for being so timid. The evil dragon had frightened her senseless. If she had shouted, "Take the princess I like too," then perhaps that awful Imperial Sister would be clutching her Dragon Tail right now, curled into a ball and trembling alongside her.
What a loss!
"Eat slowly. There's more when you're done."
Even the evil dragon had more of a conscience than that awful Imperial Sister.
Before long, Lucia had eaten the massive Roasted Beast Leg until only the bone remained.
Just as she was about to rest for a while, the evil dragon took the bone from her hand and stuffed another Roasted Beast Leg into her mouth.
Lucia was already somewhat full and did not really want to eat anymore, but she did not dare refuse the evil dragon's kindness. She could only continue gnawing away.
After finishing the second Roasted Beast Leg, Lucia's belly had become round, and she let out one burp after another. I hope the evil dragon isn't trying to fatten me up before slaughtering me for meat. "Are you full?"
"F-Full."
"Do you want to return to where you used to live, or stay here?"
I want to go back to the imperial capital! Lucia screamed inwardly.
However, she did not dare tell the evil dragon what she really thought. If he learned that she was not a dragonling but the Imperial Daughter, then even if he did not eat her, he would definitely imprison her.
Should she lie and trick the evil dragon into believing that she lived somewhere in the Deep Mountain Old Forest? That did not seem right either. What if the evil dragon believed her and really threw her into some Deep Mountain Old Forest? The chances of her being eaten by Magical Beasts would be even greater.
"I can stay here?"
"You can."
"Wuwuwu, you're really too kind."
Wuwuwu, I don't want to stay here. I want to charge back into the imperial capital and reclaim everything that belongs to me! Lucia cried sadly.
She could not go back. She could never go back again.
She would never have the chance to become the emperor of the Farolyn Empire.
For the rest of her life, she would live here with the evil dragon as a dragonling.
She truly did not have the courage to refuse the evil dragon's kindness, nor did she dare to refuse. Who knew whether the evil dragon would get angry and eat her if she said no?
Even if he did not eat her and let her leave on her own, she could not leave. This island where the evil dragon lived was an unknown distance from the mainland. If she had to fly, she might die of exhaustion before reaching the mainland.
"My name is Lance. You can call me by my name from now on."
"Lance? The evil dragon Lance?"
Lucia rubbed her round little belly with her dragon claw and thought carefully. There had been many powerful evil dragons throughout history. Of course, none of them had ended well. They were either slain or became mounts for heroes or brave warriors.
There did not seem to have been an evil dragon named Lance in history. There was, however, an evil dragon named Dimos. "I don't think there's any legendary evil dragon with your name."
"Do you think just anyone can become an evil dragon? To become one, you first need strength, influence, and a background.
"Dragons without strength, influence, or a background who went out causing trouble were all beaten to death. You were only lucky. You went to the human world to be an evil dragon and happened to meet me. If I had not happened upon you, your fate... would have been either becoming a princess's mount or becoming the armor, boots, or weapons on a princess's body.
"Even your dragon blood might have become a magic potion for a princess's bath. Everything on a dragon is valuable. While you covet the beauty of human princesses, humans covet your dragon scales, Dragon Tooth, dragon head, dragon blood, Dragon Tendon, and so on. But wait—judging by your name, you're a female dragonling. Why would a female dragonling imitate those adult male evil dragons? They go to the human world to snatch princesses purely to satisfy their desires. Why would you, a female dragonling, snatch a princess?"
"..."
Lucia really wanted to gather her courage and mock the evil dragon in front of her a few times. From beginning to end, it had been this evil dragon who kept insisting that she had snatched a princess.
She had never wanted to snatch that awful Imperial Sister. She only wanted to drive her out of the imperial capital.
"A fine sword belongs with a hero, and a princess belongs with an evil dragon. I want to become an evil dragon remembered by history. Isn't it perfectly normal to want to abduct a princess and bring her home?"
"..."
Lance had no answer. He felt that Lucia's words made a great deal of sense.
"Your dream is to become an evil dragon?"
"Yes, yes, yes! My dream is to become an evil dragon remembered by history!"
Wuwuwu, my dream is to become the emperor of the Farolyn Empire.
