Being Human-or Being a Dragon?! 5000 Words

The young dragon's eyes showed panic.

Is this reasonable?

Is this possible?

She is clearly a human. She was turned into Amethyst Dragonling because of a curse. If she becomes Amethyst Dragonling permanently, is she still human?

No, the question is whether the curse on her still exists? Eva might know more about this; I'll ask Eva when I get back.

The young dragon flapped its wings and lingered in the void for a moment, then suddenly flapped its wings and flew to a higher place.

Flying over the center of the capital, she looked down at the city and admired the lights of thousands of homes.

The Loser Imperial Sister Asina seems to be managing the empire quite well.

After admiring the lights of countless homes, the young dragon looked up at the night sky, where the stars shone brightly.

Looking at the twinkling stars, a song that Lance had taught her suddenly came to mind.

The stars light up my door, helping lost children find their way back. The stars light up my future, warming children's hearts with a little light. The young dragon unconsciously hummed the song.

A cool evening breeze brushed against my face, and the humming faded away with the wind.

She can't be so casual; she's the empress now, she has to act like one.

What emperor sings for no reason? The young dragon looked towards the imperial palace in the capital, where it was brightly lit and soldiers in armor patrolled back and forth.

About half an hour later, the young dragon flew to the area where the paladin Steven was. "Steven Your Excellency, I'm going back to the palace first. Imperial officials will handle the cleanup. If you have nothing to do, you can stay here to supervise or go back to the temple to rest."

"Um."

The young dragon flapped its wings and flew towards the palace. Before long, she appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Regent Asina, Melissa, Eva were all standing at the entrance of the palace. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the young dragon Lucia return.

"The demonic rebellion has been quelled, Regent Asina. You may send officials to clean up the mess. Also, I have ordered the Three Great Knight Orders to the Temple of Light to arrest Cardinal Mason. He is now under your jurisdiction."

???

The demon rebellion was quelled so quickly? How long has it been?

Asina and Melissa were shocked.

"Eva, come with me." Before leaving, the young dragon said to Asina, "What are you looking at me for? Go and do your thing. I've helped you resolve the struggle between divine and imperial power, and I've also helped you quell the demon rebellion. Can't you handle the cleanup work?"

Asina smiled slightly, walked up to the young dragon, clenched her right fist, and punched it on the head. "What's so great about you? No matter how powerful you are, you still have to call me ' Imperial Sister Imperial Sister '? You disappeared for more than two years and came back without giving me a gift, and you even made me do all the work. Do you really think I wouldn't dare to beat you up?"

The young dragon bared its teeth. "You dare hit the emperor?!"

Asina smiled but didn't say anything. She turned and walked into the main hall.

Before she had taken more than a few steps, Asina suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head. Turning her head, she saw her royal sister Lucia grabbing a hammer and dragging Eva away in a flash. That damned royal sister!

How dare he hit her on the head with a hammer! Forget it, let's deal with the demon chaos first, and settle accounts with this guy later! The young dragon pulled Eva back to her own palace, then took out a Silent Scroll from her Lucky Coin, tore it up, and wrapped it around her palace to ensure that her conversation with Eva would not be overheard by others.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"Eva, I ask you, will the Dragon Transformation Curse you placed on me disappear naturally over time?"

The young dragon made Eva sit in a chair, and then she took another chair from the side and sat opposite Eva, wanting to understand the Dragon Transformation Curse for the first time.

Eva stared blankly for a moment, then shook her head. "No, Your Majesty's curse will not disappear naturally with the passage of time. On the contrary, the longer Your Majesty remains a dragon, the harder it will be to turn back into a human. Fortunately, Your Majesty has been favored by the Goddess of Luck, which has allowed you to turn back into a human."

???

!!

What?!

The longer she remains a dragon, the harder it is for her to revert back to human form? Wouldn't that ruin her? She's been a Lance Amethyst Dragonling for almost three years, and she drinks the magical potions and pills that Lance concocts and mixes every day to Purify Bloodline.

Before leaving Lance, he drank an even more advanced divine medicine on Dragon Island!

The real divine medicine—the very medicine that allowed her to evolve into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling! In other words, the reason she could become human wasn't because the curse on her body suddenly disappeared, but because she had completely evolved into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling, and then... unintentionally learned the Transformation Technique Lance taught her, and by accident, became human? And not a perfect human at all, still with dragon horns on her head! Doesn't that mean that her belief that the curse had disappeared or remained was completely wrong? The truth is that she evolved into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling?! The dragon pouted, almost crying with grievance. Wait, it doesn't seem so aggrieved. She can become both human Amethyst Dragonling —she's got a great deal! She can be human when she wants, and a dragon when she wants. This is a good thing! When Lance finds her, she can confidently tell Lance she's Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling!

A person? What kind of person?

She's not human!

No, it depends on whether she wants to be a decent human being!

When she doesn't want to be human, she's not human!

She's only human when she wants to be! If Lance beats her up, she'll stop being human!

That's perfect!

"Eva, Eva, try to see if you can break the Dragon Transformation Curse on me."

"???" Eva was taken aback. "No... didn't His Majesty's curse disappear?"

"I'm worried there might be some residue. Come here, try to see if you can completely remove the Dragon Transformation Curse from my body."

Eva's face showed panic. She stood up and knelt on one knee, but was helped up by the quick-witted young dragon. "There are only the two of us here, so there's no need to kneel. You are the knight I chose. I originally wanted to make you the chief Dark Knight at the coming-of-age ceremony. I didn't expect my Loser Imperial Sister to suddenly make trouble. I have never blamed you. Even if you can't break the Dragon Transformation Curse, I will not blame you. You are still the person I trust the most."

"Your Majesty, the Dragon Transformation Curse disappeared from my mind not long after you were captured by the black dragon. Such a thing only exists in legends."

Legend has it that only extremely powerful curses, curses that shouldn't exist in the human world, can naturally disappear from a sorcerer's mind. Therefore, I cannot break the Dragon Transformation Curse on Your Majesty, nor can I even cast the spell again.

!!

The baby dragon's eyes were wide open.

What? What? Spells can automatically disappear from a person's mind?

Is it because Eva's memory is failing?

The young dragon took out a Wisdom Fruit from the Lucky Coin: "Don't be nervous, maybe you've been overusing your brain. Here, eat a Wisdom Fruit to relax."

"."

The distressed Eva was both amused and touched by the baby dragon's words and the gesture of offering her the Wisdom Fruit.

The Wisdom Fruit, Holy Relic of the Goddess of Wisdom Holy Mountain, was given to her by Her Majesty Lucia without hesitation. Even her Imperial Sister, Asina, hadn't yet tasted the Wisdom Fruit.

Eva pushed the Wisdom Fruit back. "Your Majesty, it's really gone. I can feel it. Or rather, it's the God of Fate that allowed me to unintentionally acquire the Dragon Transformation Spell. It's also the God of Fate that brought me to Your Majesty, and allowed me to use the Dragon Transformation Spell on you. During the years Your Majesty was captured by the Black Dragon, I kept thinking about why the Dragon Transformation Spell disappeared from my mind. Gradually, I understood that from the day I unintentionally learned the Dragon Transformation Spell, it was waiting for Your Majesty."

I even suspect that the reason I was able to successfully plant the curse on His Majesty on the first try was because of this reason; I might not have been able to successfully plant this curse on anyone else.

Eva did not accept the Wisdom Fruit that Lucia offered her. Even if she had eaten Wisdom Fruit, she would not have remembered the Dragon Transformation Curse, nor could she remember how to break the curse.

The Fate Dragon twitched the corner of its mouth.

Lance might dismiss Eva's words with disdain.

You might feel like you've been manipulated by bad guys.

She felt nothing; she'd rather be captured by the Black Dragon than be imprisoned by her Loser Imperial Sister.

Of course, this is what she thinks now.

If she could go back to the day before she was cursed by Eva and turned into Amethyst Dragonling, and had to choose between being captured by the black dragon and being imprisoned by her Loser Imperial Sister," she would definitely choose to be imprisoned by her Loser Imperial Sister."

"It's not a big problem. Anyway, I'm human again now. You can eat this Wisdom Fruit. I want you to become the strongest sorcerer. No one will dare to bully you in the future."

The young dragon forced the Wisdom Fruit onto Eva, Wisdom Fruit was no longer of much use to her; she had already eaten the roots of the World Tree. Besides, with her current intelligence, she had no need to eat the Wisdom Fruit anymore.

She also possesses a Wisdom Fruit Wisdom Fruit, which she intends to give to her Loser Imperial Sister, Asina.

She didn't delve into the Dragon Transformation Curse.

According to Eva, the Dragon Transformation Curse will not disappear on its own, so the reason she can turn back into a human must be because she has evolved into Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling.

The fact that the dragon horns on her head didn't disappear and that she could still grow dragon wings is proof of that.

Thinking about it, the young dragon turned her head to look at the mirror on the dressing table. She stared at her own eyes in the mirror, which had been human eyes for a moment, turning into amethyst vertical pupils. Then they returned to normal human eyes.

It can even freely change the shape of its pupils; it's undoubtedly Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling. "Your Majesty."

"I'm fine. You should eat the Wisdom Fruit. Consider it a gift from me. Don't save it, eat it quickly."

The young dragon urged Eva to eat the Wisdom Fruit. Eva originally intended to keep it and secretly give it to Asina behind Lucia.

In this situation, it seems unlikely. Your Highness Lucia is staring at her with a fierce look, urging her to eat quickly.

"Your Majesty, please give this Wisdom Fruit to Her Your Highness Asina."

"I'll handle things on her own."

Having no other choice, she had to eat the Wisdom Fruit in front of her own emperor.

Seeing Eva finish the Wisdom Fruit, the young dragon nodded in satisfaction.

She originally intended to give the Wisdom Fruit to her father and mother, but after thinking about it, she decided to give it to Eva and her Loser Imperial Sister instead.

Lance once said that old people become wiser.

My parents were much smarter than these young people at that age.

"Your Majesty, now that you've turned back into a human, you shouldn't think about those messy things anymore. The Dragon Transformation Curse won't affect you."

"It really doesn't affect me much. Suddenly I feel that being an emperor isn't very interesting."

???

Being an emperor is boring? You've only been emperor for two days and you already think it's boring?

His Majesty has a rather unconventional personality.

"Everything's alright, Eva, you can go and rest now."

"Yes."

Eva got up and left the palace where the baby dragon was sleeping.

Around 10 p. m., Youlong lay on the soft bed, looking at the chandelier, wondering what he would do at the Roland Hall the next day.

Military and political affairs were all left to Asina's care, so it seemed that she, as emperor, didn't have to do anything.

Doing nothing is pointless.

We can't just sit and wait for Lance to come to the Farolyn Empire to arrest her, can we? What should we do?

Oh, right, it's about making money.

We haven't raised enough money for Lance to get married yet.

Without a million gold coins, Lance probably won't be able to marry any of the beautiful female Pure-Blooded Dragon on Dragon Island. And what if Lance falls for one of the female Pure-Blooded Dragon on Dragon Island? What about Elder Sister Sophia? Speaking of which, does Lance even like Elder Sister Sophia?

Forget it, I don't want to think about Lance Lance his own feelings. She should just focus on making money as much as she can.

On October 3rd of the Black Dragon Calendar 3457, Lucia became the third person to rule the Farolyn Empire.

"My ministers, I think you should hold a grand enthronement ceremony for me. However, considering that a grand enthronement ceremony might be too much of a burden on the people and a waste of money, I think it would be better for you to simply celebrate my enthronement."

"Yes, I've decided to continue the banquet tonight. You must bring gifts—cough, bring your sincerity—to congratulate me on my ascension to the throne."

The ministers and nobles on either side of the Roland Great Hall did not find anything wrong with what the young dragon said.

The coronation ceremony was indeed costly and extravagant, so it was perfectly reasonable for them to send some gifts to celebrate Her Lucia becoming emperor.

That very evening, Lucia, now the Empress, once again sat at the entrance of the palace to personally receive gifts.

As the music ended and the party was over, the young dragon took stock of the gifts he had received that night before going to sleep. The various gold and silver jewelry and other sparkling items were worth about 400,000 gold coins.

One step closer to a million gold coins! On October 4th, 3457 of the Black Dragon Calendar, the young dragon became the emperor of the Farolyn Empire on the fourth day.

"My ministers, during the two years I have been missing, I have not had a proper birthday celebration. So, tonight, I would like to hold a belated 16th birthday banquet. You must all attend tonight. I will make a cake later, and you can taste my cooking tonight."

The ministers and nobles in the Roland Great Hall grinned. It was perfectly reasonable for Her Majesty Lucia to hold a belated birthday banquet. Moreover, Her Majesty would personally prepare the birthday cake to entertain them.

The only downside is that it seems I'll have to prepare a gift for His Majesty again tonight.

That evening, the ministers and nobles saw Her Lucia sitting at the entrance of the palace, registering the names of the ministers who had given gifts, as well as the gifts they had brought.

This time, the young dragon received a gift worth approximately 200,000 gold coins.

On October 5th of the Black Dragon Calendar 3457, the young dragon became emperor for the fifth day.

"Hey, my ministers, last night's birthday banquet made me feel loved and cared for, so I've decided to hold another 17th birthday banquet tonight! And yes, I'll make the birthday cake myself. You all must come tonight!"

Regent Asina: (╬◣д◢) What is this brat trying to do? She's been emperor for five days, and apart from the first two days when she was doing real work, the rest of the days have been spent receiving gifts!

What's most despicable is that the Ministry of Finance paid for the banquet, and all the gold, silver, and jewels she received as gifts went straight into her own pocket! Does becoming emperor mean she can accept gifts with impunity?!

The ministers and nobles in the capital were all speechless. Including tonight, they had been sending gifts for four days in a row. The expenses for these four days were greater than their expenses for a year. "I'm going to make a cake. I'll be waiting for you at the usual place tonight."

The baby dragon walked away with a grin.

That evening, the young dragon received gifts worth around 200,000 gold coins.

Over 1.1 million gold coins!

Hehe, she's almost finished raising enough money for Lance's wedding dowry.

She was a kind-hearted child. After raising her for nearly three years, she gave Lance a gift of 1.2 million gold coins after she became emperor.

Seeing so many gold coins, Lance should feel that raising her was worthwhile.

On October 6th of the Black Dragon Calendar 3457, the young dragon became emperor for the sixth day.

"Gentlemen..."

As soon as the young dragon spoke, the ministers and nobles on both sides of the hall all turned into bitter faces. Now, they were most afraid of hearing the words "Ministers".

I wake up in a fright if I dream about these four words at night, and my subconscious instinct is to prepare a gift.

"Your Majesty Lucia! Your eighteenth birthday is not yet!!!" Asina reminded Lucia through gritted teeth, she couldn't let her royal sister do anything reckless.

"Can we hold the celebration ahead of schedule, my ministers? See you at the usual place tonight. I've decided to hold my eighteenth birthday banquet earlier than planned. Hmm, feel free tonight, you don't need to bring such expensive gifts. To thank you all, I'll put some divine potions in the birthday cake tonight."

These magical potions can quickly cure your hidden ailments and rapidly replenish your energy and spirit. In fact, the cakes you've eaten these past two days have contained these magical potions.

Three days is exactly three courses of treatment. After tonight, you will find that your body is much better than before.

On her 18th birthday, Youlong celebrated early. That night, the gifts she received were worth approximately 300,000 gold coins. On October 7th of the Black Dragon Calendar 3457, the seventh day after Youlong became emperor.

"My ministers, today marks the seventh day since I became emperor. I have decided to host a banquet for you all tonight."

"Your Majesty Lucia!!!" Asina was furious.

"Hehe, why is the Regent so red-hot? Alright, I'll stop teasing you! Ministers, I have decided to pass the throne to Regent Asina. From tomorrow onwards, Regent Asina will officially become the Emperor of the Farolyn Empire! Regent Asina, I am entrusting the Farolyn Empire to you. This is a gift for you."

The young dragon handed the last Wisdom Fruit to Asina, grinned at Asina, left the Roland Great Hall, and rode its Valkyrie in the imperial capital.

Elder Sister Sophia said that when she becomes emperor, she can grant her three wishes. She is going to make a wish now. While the young dragon was making his wish at the Valkyrie, the black dragon Lance also appeared in the Holy Light Holy Light Empire of the Holy Light Domain on the same day.
