Did You Hear the Dragon Roar?
When the young dragon woke up, it was dark. Saintess Aurora and Paladin Steven were on either side of her. When she woke up, Saintess Aurora handed the young dragon a cup of warm water.
"Thank you." The young dragon took the water glass and thanked Saintess Aurora. Her mind was still a little hazy. She took a sip of warm water, and her Valkyrie Temple gradually became clear.
She wiped the statue of her Elder Sister Sophia, muttered some words to herself, made a wish, and then fell asleep. While asleep, she seemed to be dreaming, a dream full of fairy tales. She dreamt of... Huh? Strange. Why can't she remember? The young dragon frowned, trying hard to recall, but she couldn't remember anything. She gave up; at least her wish had been granted.
"What time is it now?"
"Around 7 p. m.
"Huh? It's already dark?" The young dragon drank the water in the cup in one gulp, returned the cup to Saintess Aurora, stood up and bowed to the Valkyrie Statue, silently thanked her Elder Sister Sophia in her heart, and turned to walk out of the temple.
As she approached the temple entrance, she suddenly turned to look at the paladin Steven: "Steven Your Excellency, your mission is complete. From now on, you no longer need to protect me. If you wish to return to the Holy Your Highness, you can escort Aurora back at any time."
The struggle between divine and imperial power within the Empire has come to an end. As for the vacancies of cardinals in the Temple of Light and the War God Temple, I will personally explain this matter to the War God Holy Mountain and the Light Holy Mountain.
"I understand, Your Majesty. Not long ago, I also received a divine Divine Decree from my god."
"Goodbye, Steven Your Excellency and Aurora Your Highness. We'll meet again someday."
The young dragon Lucia hopped and skipped away from the temple. Under the watchful gaze of the Valkyrie Statue, a pair of Amethyst Dragon Wings appeared on her back, and she flapped her wings and flew towards the palace.
Steven and Aurora watched the young dragon leave, exchanged a glance, bowed to the Valkyrie Statue, and then turned and left the temple.
Having spent quite some time in the Farolyn Empire of the Morning Star Domain, it's time to return to the Holy Mountain. If they don't go back soon, His Majesty on the Holy Mountain will start to worry about them.
Upon returning to the palace, the young dragon did not go back to its own palace, but instead went to the palace where Asina was.
Asina was not in the palace, but in the Royal Garden.
Upon arriving at the Royal Garden, Asina sat in a pavilion handling state affairs, with a red flask placed to her right.
"Your Highness Asina, Her Lucia has arrived."
"I saw it."
As the young dragon entered the pavilion, Asina glanced up at him, finished processing the documents in her hand, closed them, put her pen back in its case, and then leisurely poured him a cup of black tea. "You've been staying at the Valkyrie until now before you finally come back?"
"Um."
"Go and complain to the Valkyrie?" Asina placed the black tea in front of the baby dragon.
"Make a wish," the young dragon said truthfully.
"What do you wish for?"
"Let all those who remember Imperial Daughter Lucia, the third in line to the Your Highness of the Farolyn Empire, forget me."
???
Asina's smile turned into a look of confusion. What kind of wish was this? Melissa, standing beside her, also looked puzzled.
"Why make this wish?" Asina asked. She didn't believe the Valkyrie would grant her younger sister's wish; forgetting her was definitely nonsense. "I'm afraid of getting beaten up." The young dragon picked up its teacup, took a sip of black tea, and continued, "The Dragon Transformation Curse on me hasn't disappeared. The reason I can become human isn't because the Dragon Transformation Curse disappeared, but because I... have completely become Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling."
Yes, when I made my wish, the gods gave me a chance, asking if I wanted to remain human, and if so, they could make me turn back into a human.
I chose not to be human.
At this point, the young dragon Lucia grinned, put down her teacup, and used both hands to lift her purple hair, revealing her Amethyst Dragon horns to Asina: "Dragon horns, aren't they beautiful?"
Asina stood up, bent down, and touched the Amethyst Dragon horn on the top of the young dragon's head. It was smooth, hard, and a little prickly.
I pinched it and shook it back and forth a few times, but it didn't budge.
It wasn't stuck to its head; it looked like it grew naturally from its head.
The faint smile on her face disappeared. "Why did you abandon your human identity? You clearly had the chance to become human again, so why did you choose to become Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling?"
Did not becoming the emperor of the Farolyn Empire make you lose your purpose? Or are you prepared to abandon your father and mother and live alone as Amethyst Dragonling from now on?
When you give up the chance to be a human being, have you ever thought about your father and mother?
"What are you talking about? I only gave up the chance to be human, not abandoned my father and mother. Are you stupid? As a Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling, I can change my form at will. I can become a human or Amethyst Dragonling."
If there's a way to have the best of both worlds and not hurt anyone who's good to me, why should I insist on turning back into a human?
You have no idea what I went through during the nearly three years I was gone, so why are you scolding me in this tone?
Even though I was cursed into Amethyst Dragonling and taken away by the black Lance, I never blamed you or anyone else. Why are you scolding me just because I chose not to be human? I don't owe you anything. I've also thought about how to get along with my father and mother. So why are you so angry?
Did you know that after Black Lance captured me, he didn't mistreat me or raise me as a child bride? Instead, he raised me as his daughter?
I am a human transformed into Amethyst Dragonling, completely ignorant of the habits of dragons, and utterly lacking any of the abilities possessed by a true young dragon.
Faced with such an impure and clumsy [Amethyst Dragonling], the Black Lance not only did not despise me, but also patiently nurtured me and taught me Dragon Language.
When I first came into contact with the black dragon, I was so scared that I dared not sleep. The black dragon would tell me stories to ease my anxiety.
Knowing that my bloodline was impure, he concocted and brewed magical potions to purify my bloodline. He brewed and brewed these potions every day for nearly three years.
Dragon Language was very difficult, so he taught me from the very basics. He didn't force me to study all the time, and he would take me out to play.
Knowing I had no survival skills, he taught me body tempering, dragon spells, crafted defensive Source Power Item for me, and concocted various magical potions and defensive items to enhance my combat power.
Fearing I would be deceived, he taught me how to identify bad people and how to deal with danger.
Fearing I wouldn't have the skills to survive in the wild, he even taught me how to farm. To make sure he could find me anytime, he also put a tracking feature on the Lucky Coin he gave me.
Afraid that I would get bored on the island, they would take me to the human world to play, buy me clothes, shoes, and toys. Sometimes, if they felt that the clothes and shoes outside were not nice, they would make clothes and shoes for me themselves.
When I was teleported to the Abyss, the Black Lance immediately went to the Abyss to find me, fearing that I would be taken advantage of. Sometimes he would even reveal his own identity.
The black dragon Lance raised me as his own daughter for nearly three years, teaching me to read, how to become stronger, and even introducing me to all the creatures he knew.
He will give me the Wisdom Fruit Wisdom Fruit soon as he gets it.
The Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine gave him the Light Fruit, but he didn't even look at it; he just threw Light Fruit at me and told me to eat it.
You don't actually think I was able to come to the Morning Star Domain safely from the Holy Light Domain because of my own abilities, do you? The reason I was able to come back alive and even dethrone you from the throne, ending the struggle between divine and imperial power, is not because I'm so powerful or capable, but because I know that no matter how much trouble I cause, Black Lance can handle it! He won't allow anyone or any living being to harm me.
How did I acquire my status as the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire in the Holy Light Domain? I inherited the Regent throne from the Black Lance!
How can I end the demonic scourge in such a short time? Why can I make a demon king-level being so respectful to me?
Because that Demon King Leimengde knows me; he knows I am the daughter of the black Lance Lance! This dragon, who has no interest in power, was forced to become the Demon Emperor of the Abyss in order to find me, his lost daughter, as soon as possible, and I naturally became the first in line to succeed him as the Abyss Demon Emperor.
In other words, I am not only the Little Regent of the Holy Light Empire in the Holy Light Domain, but also the future second Demon Emperor of the Abyss!
Besides these two identities, I am also the Queen of the Saint Blue Kingdom in the Sky Sea Domain.
Tell me, when faced with a black dragon who raised you like his own daughter for three years without knowing you were human, what would you choose when he comes looking for you? Would you choose to tell him the truth, that you're not Amethyst Dragonling, but actually human? Do you know how much harm that would cause him when he learns the truth?
The Amethyst Dragonling is the only family member that Black Lance acknowledges. Besides the Amethyst Dragonling, he only has two other pets.
Faced with this situation, faced with a black dragon who treated me like his own daughter, you tell me, should I use the so-called truth to viciously stab him in the back?
He arrived full of excitement, and he was so engrossed in finding his dragon cub that he left alone, covered in wounds, filled with anger, and the loss of his family.
Or should we try to maintain this family relationship using gentler methods?
Asina and Melissa, who were standing nearby, were speechless after being stunned by the words of the baby dragon Lucia.
They were very curious about what Lucia, the baby dragon, had experienced during the three years she had been missing, and they were also curious about how the black dragon who had captured her would treat her. They thought of countless possibilities, but they never imagined that the black dragon would raise Lucia as his own daughter.
Asina put herself in his shoes. If she were in his shoes, she probably wouldn't have the courage to tell the black dragon the truth, even if he had raised her like his own daughter.
Melissa had previously thought Lucia's wish was a joke, but now she felt that her previous thoughts were a joke, and that the wish made by Her Majesty Lucia might actually be true! After a long while, a sigh echoed in the pavilion, "It is indeed very difficult to be ruthless enough to hurt such a [family member], not to mention recognizing him as a father, and being able to inherit the throne of the Abyss Demon Emperor, as well as other thrones."
Now I understand why you don't want to the Farolyn Empire. You are the future Abyss Demon Emperor, the regent of the Holy Light Domain Empire, the strongest empire in the Holy Light Empire Domain, and the Queen of the Saint Blue Kingdom in the Sky Sea Domain. With all these titles bestowed upon you, you certainly no longer look down on a small Farolyn Empire.
Even so, you ultimately deceived the Black Dragon Lance.
"Hey, I'm already Pure-Blooded Amethyst Dragonling. What deception is this? When all the humans in the Farolyn Empire and even the Morning Star Domain Your Highness know Imperial Daughter Lucia forget me, then I will only have one identity: the dragon cub of the Black Lance family."
The moment the Black Dragon Lance entered the Farolyn Empire, the people of the Farolyn Empire would forget Your Highness this Imperial Daughter, Melissa. Including you.
The reason I dare to say these things to your face is because you will forget me sooner or later. The next time we meet, the person you remember will not be Imperial Daughter Lucia, but Lucia, the dragon cub of the Black Dragon Family. As for my Imperial Sister Asina, please keep this a secret for me. When I made a wish to the gods, I asked them not to let you, Father, Mother, or my Imperial Sister forget me.
So when you see me, you will know that I am your family, but others will not remember.
Choosing not to be human doesn't mean I've abandoned my father and mother. On the contrary, when I'm not human, I can better serve them. And you, my Loser Imperial Sister, can get a little benefit from me.
There are many good things on Black Lance's Father's body. I will give you some of the good stuff so that you can live a little longer.
You need not fear death, for when you die of old age, I may have already inherited a position left to me by the Black Lance.
I'll come pick you up then, and I'll try my best to make you emperor again in the next life.
"No, if you really can decide what I do, then let me be the dragon cub of Black Lance in my next life. I don't think you can inherit so much of Black Lance's Father's legacy. When I become Black Lance's Father's dragon cub, I'll help you share some of the burden."
"You can keep the throne of the Abyss Demon Emperor for me. You can't control so many demons and demon kings; let me control them."
???
Young dragon: ヽ(#`Д)
Shameless!
In her human form, she competed with her for the throne of the Farolyn Empire; in her next life, she even wants to be reborn as a black dragon to steal the black dragon's inheritance! That's outrageous!
"I'm sorry, the business in the Morning Star Domain may not be under my jurisdiction. I'm sorry, you may not even be able to be an emperor in your next life."
"."
Asina was speechless; he seemed so stingy.
"I respect your choice. I will take good care of Father and Mother. After you leave, remember to take good care of our Lance's Father for me."
"I'll fight you to the death, you shameless bastard!!!"
The young dragon roared and pounced on Asina. Seeing this, Melissa turned and quietly left. She couldn't afford to offend either of them. October 8th, 3457 of the Black Dragon Calendar, Roland Great Hall, Farolyn Empire.
Today is the day Her Lucia abdicates in favor of Her Majesty Asina, and all the ministers and nobles of the capital have come.
Lucia, dressed in a long black and gold robe and seated on the throne, glanced at the ministers and nobles on both sides of the hall. Suddenly, she felt like teasing them again. She grinned and said, "Gentlemen."
Suddenly, the young dragon Lucia's expression changed. "Did you... hear the Dragon Roar's roar?"
