The Young Dragon was furious.

After being furious for a while, she became terrified again. What if there really were Field Mice in the Cornfield and Vegetable Garden? Would the evil dragon Lance really catch them and cook them for her, roasting them for her to eat? Making her crunch them one by one?

No, no, no, she absolutely didn't want to eat Field Mice, not even roasted ones.

She would go and plow the Cornfield and Vegetable Garden tonight to see if there really were Field Mice.

If there really were Field Mice, she would roast them for Er Gouzi to eat.

Er Gouzi could eat so much meat, she probably wouldn't mind eating a few skewers of crunchy Field Mouse meat.

"Do you remember your date of birth?"

"I vaguely remember... it seems to be October 16th..."

Using Princess Lucia's date of birth as the Young Dragon Lucia's date of birth should be fine, right? Anyway, it's all herself.

"Why are you asking this?"

"It's a secret."

"."

Still a secret... Under normal circumstances, when an evil dragon asks a Princess's date of birth, it's definitely to pick a suitable day to get married.

When an upright and handsome Knight asks a Princess's date of birth, it's to prepare a birthday gift for the Princess and give her a surprise.

Thinking of the upright and handsome Knight, Lucia's heart ached faintly.

In the Farolyn Empire, a Princess who turned sixteen could choose three upright and powerful Knights to become her Guardian Knights.

A few months... she was only a few months away from having her own Guardian Knights, but she was caught by the evil dragon Lance, who was passing by the Farolyn Empire, as a Young Dragon... Fortunately, she always had a "Guardian Knight" by her side.

Eva.

In her heart, Eva was her Guardian Knight.

Originally, she planned to grant Eva the identity of Guardian Knight at her coming-of-age ceremony when she turned sixteen.

So that Eva could walk openly in the glory of the God of Light.

The sudden arrival of the evil dragon Lance... disrupted many of her plans. She originally thought that the evil dragon who accepted the Hell Bounty Mission would go to the human world, but she didn't expect him to subcontract the Bounty Mission using projection calls.

The opportunity to leave the island and return to the human world was temporarily gone.

Continue practicing writing Draconic. If she couldn't escape, she would honestly enrich herself with knowledge.

Picking up her pen, Lucia suddenly remembered something. Did the evil dragon Lance know his own date of birth?

Hatched from an egg, without parents to take care of him, did the evil dragon in his childhood... know his date of birth?

"Lance, do you know your date of birth?"

"I know, Black Dragon Calendar year 1, April 25th."

Write it down, write it down, the evil dragon's birthday is April 25th of the Black Dragon Calendar.

Lucia wrote Lance's Black Dragon birth date in her Diary.

Her memory wasn't good, so she wrote it in the Diary to avoid forgetting.

To ensure she remembered the evil dragon Lance's birthday, she specifically wrote it on the first page of the Diary.

April 25th has passed. Today is June 20th.

Then next year, on April 25th next year, she'll make a birthday cake for the evil dragon Lance.

The evil dragon gave her food and drink, and even taught her Draconic. Within her capabilities, she would try her best to repay the evil dragon.

Fortunately, Eva had taught her how to make cakes when she was in the Imperial Capital, otherwise she wouldn't be able to give the evil dragon a surprise.

Wait, April 25th next year, doesn't that mean she has to live with the evil dragon for another year? A year... when she returns to the Imperial Capital, will there still be nobles, ministers, and Knights supporting her to become the Emperor?

No, no, she still has to escape as soon as possible. At worst, after she becomes the Emperor, she will personally make a big cake for the evil dragon Lance.

"Lance, when are you going to subcontract the Bounty Guild mission in Hell?"

"Tonight, there are more people at the Bounty Guild at that time."

"Oh."

It seems the evil dragon Lance really doesn't plan to personally go to the human world to post Bounty Guild missions.

"Prepare paper and pen, I'll test you."

"Ah? Test me on what?"

"Draconic word formation. Last night you learned to write the [Dragon] character in Draconic, and just now I explained some Draconic related to the [Dragon] character.

Now, I want you to form words using the Draconic [Dragon] character."

"I know this, Evil Dragon, Black Dragon, Young Dragon, Amethyst Dragon, Golden Dragon..."

"...Alright, alright, you barely know how to form words with the Dragon character at the end. How many words with the Dragon character at the beginning can you pronounce in Dragon Language?"

"Dragon Whelp, Dragon Baby, Dragon Blood, Dragon Tendon, Dragon Meat, Dragon Horn, Dragon Scale, Dragon Bone, Dragon..."

Lance couldn't listen anymore. He asked the Young Dragon to form words with [Dragon character at the beginning], and she vividly dissected a Giant Dragon.

And she got more and more excited as she spoke, and the pronunciation of the Dragon Language was a bit strange. This takes time. When she can completely recite a passage of Draconic, her accent will probably be better.

"Hehe, Lance, am I a little awesome?"

"Awesome, awesome, very awesome..."

He couldn't dampen the Young Dragon's enthusiasm for learning Draconic. Praise her as much as possible. Some children become smarter with praise.

The Young Dragon's speed of learning Draconic is okay. She learned to form words in two days. Tonight, he will teach her more Draconic and have her make sentences with Draconic.

"Write the Draconic I taught you a few more times, and feel it carefully when you write, to see if you can feel anything from the Draconic."

"Okay, okay, okay."

Lance, who was basking in the sun on the boulder, closed his vertical pupils and pretended to be asleep.

Lucia lay beside him, obediently writing the Draconic she had just learned in the morning with a pen.

Each Draconic character also needs to have pinyin written on it.

Writing pinyin above each Draconic character is more friendly to her, this fake Young Dragon.

"Lance, don't go to sleep yet, I have something else to tell you."

"Speak."

"Can you give me a brush? This afternoon, I want to brush Turtle Turtle's shell."

"Go to the workshop to get one, there should be brushes there."

"Oh, oh, oh, it's nothing, you sleep."

The Evil Dragon went to sleep.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short while.

How nice, falling asleep as soon as he says he will, the Evil Dragon definitely has no worries.

An Evil Dragon with worries wouldn't be so comfortable and leisurely.

What to eat for lunch? The Evil Dragon is asleep, it seems she has to make lunch herself.

Let's eat grilled fish.

Later, she'll have Er Gouzi go to the sea to catch fish, and then she'll make grilled fish for Er Gouzi and Turtle Turtle to eat.

Grilled fish should be simpler than grilled meat.

If it accidentally gets burnt, she'll just have to make do with it.

Having decided what to eat for lunch, Lucia practiced the newly learned Draconic characters from the morning with peace of mind.

Then, when it was lunchtime, they ate boiled Corn.

Er Gouzi didn't catch any fish in the sea.

She also went to the sea to catch fish and almost drowned. Turtle Turtle didn't go to the sea, but Turtle Turtle gave the Young Dragon and Er Gouzi a suggestion.

Throw it high up, and then it falls from the sky into the sea, maybe it can blast the fish in the sea onto the beach. Er Gouzi the Hellhound suspected that Turtle Turtle wanted to take the opportunity to crush it to death. Lucia used her Dragon Claw to describe the size of Turtle Turtle compared to her Dragon Body, and asked Turtle Turtle if it could jump into the sea by itself to blast the fish. Turtle Turtle said that after eating Lance the Evil Dragon's medicine, it might be able to do it, but before eating it, it couldn't. Since they couldn't catch fish, they could only let Er Gouzi spit out a mouthful of Hellfire to burn firewood and boil Corn.

The side dish was fruit from the Orchard.

Let's eat a hearty meal tonight.

"How about... tonight, we suggest to the Evil Dragon that we raise a group of pigs, cattle, and sheep together? Er Gouzi, you're in charge of herding sheep, Turtle Turtle is in charge of raising cattle, and I'm in charge of raising pigs, how about it?"

"???"
