She Was the Paternal Aunt of the Holy Light Empire's Future Emperor This Chapter Was Number 15

Her face is a little chubby, which is cute.

Lance instinctively pinched the baby dragon's cheeks with his left and right hands, gently pulling them to the sides a few times.

It is very elastic.

Pulling it left and right a few times, then diagonally a few times, watching the baby dragon Lucia's face transform into various ugly-cute shapes, the dragon cub that turned into a human was a bit ugly.

He wasn't as cute as the baby dragon form, perhaps because he wasn't used to the idea of dragon cubs having hair; in his mind, a bald baby dragon was the cutest.

Thinking that the little guy had just tried to deceive him by using someone else's child's name, she increased the pressure on the baby dragon's cheeks a little more.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Stop pinching! Be gentle, it hurts!"

Lance understood the unclear words.

Lance loosened his grip and vigorously rubbed the dragon cub's face a few times before letting go of the dragon cub that had transformed into a human.

The fact that she can transform into a human means that the dragon cub has evolved into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling. The original owner must have taught the dragon cub the Transformation Technique. No wonder she appeared in the Holy Light Domain and wasn't captured as a pet; it turns out she can transform into a human.

"How did you end up in the Holy Light Domain?"

"I really am Fina, the Marquis's daughter. I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?"

The young dragon held her head in her hands, pouting as she looked at Lance with a wronged expression. Her grievance wasn't because Lance had beaten her, but because Lance had seen through her disguise at a glance and recognized her. Even after turning back into a human, she really couldn't understand why Lance could recognize her so easily, leaving her with no sense of accomplishment.

"The teleportation array malfunctioned when I was going home, and when I woke up I was in the Holy Light Domain."

The young dragon honestly replied, "Why did you see through my disguise at a glance? How did you recognize me?"

"The clothes, pants, and shoes you're wearing were made by me. When you're disguising yourself, at least change out of these things that bear my personal label."

And then there's your aura, your presence. If you want to hide your disguise from me at a glance, wear a helmet, change your clothes, and try not to look at me when you see me. Otherwise, I'll still recognize you.

After saying that, Lance noticed the dragon cub's unusual behavior; the little guy was avoiding him.

She doesn't want the real person to find her?

What does she want to do? To gain experience in the human world on her own? "You don't want me to find you?"

"Hey, you found out? Well, here's the thing, I don't want you to find me for now. While you're looking for me, I'm going to accomplish my grand ambitions!"

The young dragon clenched his right fist, making no attempt to hide his desire to become emperor, and he never had ever tried to.

"What you up to?"

"I want to steal a country! I want to be the emperor! Before you find me, I will become the emperor of some empire in the human world, and make you look at me with new eyes!"

"."

It turns out they wanted to do something horrific in the human world.

With the intelligence of his own son, who's so dim-witted as to think he could steal the country, he'd probably be sent to the guillotine by the emperor the moment he even had the idea.

Why don't we discuss this with Rachel? Let Rachel go out and tell her brother, so he can put on a show, pretending that he couldn't outwit the young dragon and that the young dragon stole the vast empire and became the emperor of the Holy Light Empire.

The dragon cub is still young. If the dragon cub were two thousand years old, he wouldn't mind the dragon cub causing trouble in the human world.

The cub has two dreams.

One dream was to become a dragon as excellent as him.

One of his dreams was to become the emperor of the empire.

He had previously thought that the dragon cub wanted to become the emperor of all the dragons on Dragon Island.

He was wrong. It turns out that the dragon cub wanted to become the emperor of some empire in the human world, and she even made it more difficult for herself, using the method of "stealing the country" to become emperor. She really dares to dream.

"Then you'd better work hard and try to seize the country and become emperor before I find you."

"Hmm!" The young dragon nodded vigorously, its big eyes darting around before a sly grin spreading across its face. "Um... Lance, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask."

"I unfurl the scroll; can you, back in our hometown, sense it?"

"There will be a faint sense of it. Under normal circumstances, I would be able to locate your position immediately. But judging from your current situation, it seems that there is a problem. Otherwise, I would have been able to locate your position the moment you went missing."

The fact that the main body could not locate the dragon cub's position immediately indicates that an unknown change has occurred.

However, it's not a big problem. Knowing himself, he will use all the resources he can to track down the dragon cub as soon as possible. Finding the dragon cub is only a matter of time.

During the time he was searching for the dragon cub, the dragon cub only needed to ensure that it was not injured, imprisoned, or faced any fatal crises.

"Then I can rest assured." The young dragon patted its chest and belly, letting out a long sigh of relief.

~(ー`~) She hasn't even entered her rebellious phase yet, and she already wants to run away from home?

Letting loose in the human world? They haven't beaten you enough.

Once we find this little guy, we'll give him a good beating.

"Lance, what do you think of my appearance? Is it good-looking?"

"It's a bit ugly, not as good-looking as you were before."

(▼ヘ▼#) It's not ugly at all!

She looked in the mirror and, apart from being a little chubby, she was still very attractive; she was the kind of girl who grew on you the more you looked at her.

"You're prettier than Marquis Fina, the daughter of a marquis. You look better without hair."

Dragon Knight Hella: (ΩДΩ)!

Imperial Daughter Rachel: (O_O)? Baby Dragon Lucia: "."

It's clear that Lance hasn't adapted to his human form yet.

Seeing his dragon cub puff out its cheeks, Lance smiled and ruffled the cub's head. The two small dragon horns hidden in its hair were so small that they could not be noticed unless you looked closely.

The Transformation Technique is not yet fully mastered.

The characteristics of the dragon race could not be completely concealed.

"Alright, that's all for you here. Go out and have some fun."

Lance sent the young dragon out of the Painting World.

After sending the dragon cub away, Lance's gaze fell on the Dragon Knight Hella. "Protect her well, and try your best not to let her leave the Holy Light Domain, or even the Holy Light Empire. Of course, if she insists on leaving and you can't stop her, then follow her and protect her."

When my true form finds her, you won't have suffered in vain.

Dragon Knight Hella placed her right hand on her chest and bowed to Lance, saying, "I will certainly not fail your trust, sir."

"Okay, I'll see you out."

Dragon Knight Hella, left the Painting World.

Only Imperial Daughter Rachel remained in the Painting World.

Imperial Daughter Rachel looked at Lance with tenderness in her eyes when she saw this scene. Lance, who was just about to turn around and say a few words to Rachel, saw Rachel's eyes and slapped Rachel on the head.

"What are you thinking? What do you want to do to me, your teacher? Rachel, in my heart you will always be a child. Don't let inappropriate thoughts taint our pure teacher-student relationship."

Rachel covered her head with her hands, mustered her courage to meet Lance's gaze, and asked, "Teacher, you noticed, didn't you?"

"Do you think I wouldn't notice your little scheme?"

"Then why can't I like my teacher?"

"Because I am your teacher and your elder, my seniority is higher than you imagine. To be honest, your father is also a junior in my eyes."

His relationship with the royal family of the Holy Light Empire was more complicated than Rachel had imagined.

"Let's find someone else who likes it."

"I don't!"

Lance sighed, "Then I can only erase my existence from your memory, as if I had never appeared in your life. If you insist on doing so, I can do it."

Rachel, don't pressure the teacher.

Imperial Daughter Rachel's face showed disbelief. Her teacher was so heartless, even going so far as to erase her memories.

"Teacher, I'm all grown up now. Please don't treat me like a student. Treat me like a grown woman. I can make my own decisions about my feelings."

"Do you really want to be a disobedient disciple?"

Lance's eyes turned cold. A teacher and student are a teacher and student; he could never like his student.

If he truly falls in love with his students, he will feel that he has tarnished the title of teacher.

"I want to be one!"

With a splash, Imperial Daughter Rachel was kicked into the river by Lance. "Calm down, calm down, and listen to me. The little one you just saw is my adopted child. You have to find a way to keep her in the Holy Light Empire and not let her leave for a while."

When my true form finds her, I'll give you a surprise. Oh, and if the dragon cub tries to steal the Holy Light Empire, you and your brother should cooperate a little and not actually send her to the guillotine. When I find her, I'll give her a good beating.

We will also compensate you and your elder brother. Alright, you may leave now.

After giving his instructions, Lance waved his right hand at Imperial Daughter Rachel, who was struggling in the river. Imperial Daughter Rachel instantly left the Painting World and appeared outside the painting.

Seeing that everyone had come out, the young dragon outside the scroll took the scroll from the claws of the Wyvern Claudia, said "See you next time" to the scroll, rolled it up, and put it into the Lucky Coin.

Imperial Daughter Rachel glanced down at her dress; it wasn't wet, and it looked exactly the same as it did before she entered the painting.

She covered her heart with her hand; it hurt a little. The teacher refused to let her.

After calming herself down, Imperial Daughter Rachel's gaze fell on the young dragon. She hadn't expected that this girl was actually her teacher's daughter.

Completely different from the teacher.

She's probably not the teacher's biological daughter, but in the teacher's heart, her status is probably no different from that of a biological daughter.

In the teacher's eyes, this girl was just his daughter, nothing more.

But this girl wasn't her; her eyes didn't hold that intense emotion.

She's a very innocent girl.

Unlike her, it's best.

"I'm sorry, I apologize for my previous attitude. You are indeed my teacher's daughter. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay at the Regent's Residence for the time being. This is the Regent's Residence. I'll have someone prepare a room for you later."

"No need, no need for that trouble. I can sleep in the garden tonight. Actually, I didn't plan to stay in the Holy Light Empire for long. Sister Rachel, I want to go to the Morning Star Domain. Could you please let me use the inter-domain teleportation array to teleport me to the Morning Star Domain?"

???

The Morning Star Domain? This little guy wants to go to the Morning Star Domain?

She thought this little guy really wanted to steal the Holy Light Empire, but it seems she was overthinking it.

If the teacher hadn't told her otherwise, she might have arranged for the little one to travel to the Morning Star Domain via the inter-domain teleportation array, out of respect for the teacher.

That won't work now. The teacher made it clear that she should find a way to keep the little guy in the Holy Light Empire.

Even if not for her teacher, for her own sake, she couldn't let the little guy leave the Holy Light Empire anytime soon.

If she leaves the Holy Light Empire, and her teacher arrives there to find out that the little one has already gone to the Morning Star Domain Holy Light Empire, she certainly won't stay in the Holy Light Empire for long.

Only when the little one is in the Holy Light Empire can she spend more time with her living teacher.

"I'm afraid that won't work. The inter-domain teleportation array has recently encountered a problem and needs maintenance. It will probably be some time before inter-domain teleportation can resume."

"You can stay at the Regent's Residence for now. I'll let you know once the inter-domain teleportation array is repaired. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the young dragon sighed and nodded.

That's the only way.

She didn't think Imperial Daughter Rachel was lying. It was normal for such a giant teleportation array as the inter-domain teleportation array to have problems, and maintenance was understandable.

"How long will it take?"

"I'm not sure, I'll ask tonight."

"Thank you, Rachel."

"Auntie, Auntie, how did it go? Did she prove herself? If she didn't succeed, could you make her my follower?"

Young Dylan and young Lottie jogged up to Imperial Daughter Rachel. Imperial Daughter Rachel raised her hand and slapped Dylan on the head. "What are you yelling about? And what you said just now was disrespectful. From now on, when you see Lucia, call her Aunt Lucia."

The teacher said that in his heart, besides his students, she was also his daughter.

Lucia is the teacher's daughter, so it shouldn't be a problem for Dylan to call her aunt.

Dylan was dumbfounded. This naive young girl... was she really the daughter of Regent Grandpa Lance?!

Has she really become his elder?

No, she clearly doesn't look older than him, yet he's expected to call her aunt?!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! "Auntie, I am the first in line to the throne of the Holy Light Empire, I would never call her auntie!"

"Once her identity spreads throughout the Holy Light Empire, most of the generals, nobles, and ministers of the Holy Light Empire will become close to her because she is the daughter of Regent Lance."

"If your aunt gets upset, a single word from her can make you, the first in line to inherit, become the second in line."

Hearing this, Lottie's eyes lit up instantly. "If he won't shout, I will! Auntie, Auntie, come sleep in my palace tonight. We'll sleep in the same bed. When your identity is revealed, Auntie, can you get the support of the empire's generals, nobles, and ministers?"

"Make me the first in line to the throne of the Holy Light Empire? My abilities far surpass Dylan's. If my aunt makes me the next emperor of the Holy Light Empire, I'll have another statue of my aunt sculpted next to Grandpa Lance in Holy Light Square."

The white-haired girl clung to the young dragon's arms, acting coquettishly. Although she wasn't particularly interested in the emperor's position, she wouldn't mind experiencing it if given the chance.

At worst, I'll be emperor for a few days and then pass the throne to Dylan.

She called out "little aunt" without any pressure.

She just looks young; she might be much older than her Dylan.

The young dragon was dumbfounded. She had become the aunt of the future emperor of the Holy Light Empire?

Hehehe—

What can that Smelly Imperial Sister Asina possibly use to fight her this time?!
