God, This Evil Dragon Can Actually Farm!

God, This Evil Dragon Can Actually Farm!

If I could be an emperor, who would want to be an evil dragon?

No, I couldn't give up. As long as the evil dragon didn't hurt me, I had to find a chance to leave this place, return to the Farolyn Empire, defeat that rotten Imperial Sister, and reclaim the throne that belonged to me.

I, Lucia, refused to be a little evil dragon for the rest of my life.

Eva was unreliable too. If she was going to curse me into a dragon, she could at least have turned me into an adult dragon. What was the point of turning me into a hatchling?

It meant I had to tilt my head up whenever I spoke to the evil dragon in front of me.

Lance clapped, admiration showing in his golden-red vertical pupils. Having dreams was better than having none.

Becoming an evil dragon remembered by history was no small dream. Aside from their miserable endings, evil dragons who made it into history had been exceptional in every other way.

"If you want to become an evil dragon remembered by history, you first need to become strong enough to beat me."

"???"

Lucia glanced at the evil dragon Lance's claws. They were larger than her head. If he squeezed her head once, he could probably crush her brains out.

Such a huge evil dragon—never mind that she wasn't truly an evil dragon, even if she were one and grew into an adult, she probably still wouldn't be able to defeat the evil dragon before her.

"I can't even beat Griffin Knights. There's no way I could beat you."

"It's fine, take it slowly. But if you want to become an evil dragon remembered by history, strength alone isn't enough. You need your own territory. Once you have territory, you need to be able to feed yourself. And to feed yourself, first... you need to know how to farm.

"You're lucky. You happened to meet a black dragon like me who knows a little bit of everything. I'll do my best to train you into an outstanding evil dragon. Before you become one, though, I think you should first learn how to farm."

"???"

Farm... farm... farm?

He wanted an Imperial Princess like her to learn farming?

Wasn't farming a life skill that only human peasants and those Foreign Race farmers needed to master?

Since when did evil dragons need to master that kind of life skill?

Besides, were there really evil dragons in this world who could farm?

Whether in legends or in real life, Lucia had never heard of an evil dragon who could farm.

Powerful and brutal creatures like evil dragons had absolutely no need to rely on farming to survive.

Because evil dragons ate meat.

When food ran out, they only needed to wander through the deep forest for a while, and they would return with full bellies.

There was absolutely no need to farm.

"Why... does an evil dragon need to farm?"

Lucia carefully voiced the question in her heart.

"Because you need to raise princesses. If you abduct a princess, you can't make her eat meat every day, can you? There needs to be a balance between meat and vegetables, and you should give her some fruit now and then. Oh, speaking of fruit, you also need to learn grafting and transplanting fruit trees from me.

"Then, once you grow up and have your own territory, you can farm there and cultivate, graft, and transplant fruit trees. If a princess follows you, she won't have to worry about eating only meat every day or going hungry one meal and full the next."

"..."

Lucia was stunned. She suddenly felt that the evil dragon before her knew so much.

And judging from what he said, why did she feel like this evil dragon had raised princesses before?

If he hadn't raised princesses... he definitely couldn't say things filled with such practical experience.

This evil dragon Lance had definitely raised princesses before.

Maybe at some point, he had even been an evil dragon—the kind whose name was unknown.

"Lance... have you... have you raised princesses before?"

"I've raised a few."

Lance grinned. After being reborn as a black dragon, how boring would dragon life be if he had never raised any princesses?

He had raised them!

And more than one!!!

Lucia was shocked. This obscure evil dragon had actually raised several princesses?

That was impossible. If Lance really had raised several princesses, legendary warriors or heroes would have slain him long ago.

The princesses evil dragon Lance had raised must have been from small countries.

If any of the princesses he raised had come from great nations, his name would definitely have appeared in history.

Forget it, that wasn't the important part. The important thing was whether evil dragon Lance had turned those princesses into his wives.

"Did they... did they all become your wives in the end?"

"No. After raising them for a while, I sent them back."

"???"

What kind of move was that? He abducted human princesses to his Dragon Lair, raised them for a while, then sent them back. What was the point? Was it for fun?

There must have been a warrior who came to subjugate evil dragon Lance, and evil dragon Lance couldn't defeat that warrior, so he sent those princesses back.

Lucia felt that she had guessed the truth.

She couldn't expose the evil dragon. What if he became angry from embarrassment and beat her up? His claws were so huge that one punch might make her cry for a long time.

"Lance, I want to learn from you—only raise princesses, never make princesses into wives."

"???"

At first, there seemed to be nothing wrong with that sentence. But the more he thought about it, the more Lance felt that this hatchling Lucia was taking a jab at him. He wanted to punch Lucia.

After thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.

He would spend a few more days with her first.

"Come on. I'll show you around."

Lucia stood up and obediently followed behind Lance.

"I named this island Black Dragon Island. The entire island is my territory. Besides me, the black dragon, there is also a dog and a turtle on the island. They're my pets."

"..."

Not only did evil dragons raise princesses, they also kept pets. After following evil dragon Lance for a short while, Lucia saw a field of corn. The corn growing there was enormous, each stalk at least a meter tall!!! Mutant corn?

"This is Fruit Corn I cultivated myself. I used every kind of magic potion I could to grow it this large. It's reached its limit. It tastes good boiled. I'll cook a few for you tonight so you can try them."

"This is the vegetable patch. Greens, cabbage, peppers, potatoes, scallions, spring onions, tomatoes, and more are all here. If you want to eat anything later, just come pick it yourself."

Lucia looked at the peppers as tall as a person, and an image appeared in her mind.

Evil dragon Lance plucked a pepper taller than a person from the ground, cut it open at the top, stuffed meat inside, and tossed it into his mouth. Crunchy. It was one thing for the corn to be huge, but why were the vegetables Lance grew also so outrageously big?

"This is the orchard. The fruit inside has all been carefully cultivated by me. The size is passable."

"???"

Lucia glanced at the apples in the orchard that were larger than watermelons, grapes larger than apples, and bananas nearly a meter long. The fruit was this huge, and evil dragon Lance called the size passable?

If these fruits were placed in the human world, they could be considered the ancestors of those fruits.

When the clergy of the great temples saw these fruits, they would surely cry out, "Miracles! Divine fruit!" Was this what an evil dragon capable of farming was like?

She probably wouldn't be able to grow fruit, vegetables, or corn this large even in her entire life!

Raise princesses? She wasn't worthy. If raising princesses required life skills like these, then as an Imperial Princess, all she could say was... she wasn't worthy of raising princesses!

Sob, sob, sob.

When it came to raising princesses, evil dragon Lance was the one to look to.
