Valkyrie? I Feel Like I've Seen Her Somewhere Before
The dragon really didn't treat him like an outsider at all.
He ordered around other people's maids as he would his own servants, and the maid named Janice was particularly obedient and well-behaved; whatever the dragon said, she did.
Silly child, have you ever considered how your young lady Joanna feels?
"Little Dragon, go have a glass of juice and take a break."
Lance's baby dragon is so capable. It picks up a shovel and gets to work without being spoiled. It can talk and help with chores. She really wants to raise a baby dragon like that.
"Miss Joanna, please call me Your Highness Lucia."
The evil dragon can call her a young dragon or a dragon cub, but others cannot, because she is the second in line to the throne of the Farolyn Empire.
If the human girl calls her "Your Highness Lucia," the dragon won't notice anything amiss; at most, it might think that this young dragon wants to experience what it's like to be an emperor in advance.
As for the humans who call her Your Highness Lucia, they will only mistakenly think that she is a noble among dragons, or that she is a vain young dragon, and will never think that she is Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire.
She had never heard of the Nod Kingdom when she was in the capital, and the people of that kingdom probably had never heard of the Farolyn Empire either.
Some of the nobles of the Nod Kingdom may have heard of the Farolyn Empire.
Well, you might not have heard of it. The Farolyn Empire wasn't powerful enough to be known throughout the world.
Woohoo.
So cute.
The little dragon's proud and aloof appearance is so cute.
"If you want to raise a little dragon, Your Highness Lucia, I'll treat you to some juice."
"Joanna, you're so sweet! I like girls like you. Since you called me Your Highness, I'll treat you to a big banana!"
"Thank you, Your Little Dragon Highness."
Didn't you add the name Lucia? Oh well, Little Dragon Highness will do.
The young dragon removed the gloves from its claws, threw the shovel onto the cart, dragged Joanna away from the garden, and came to the side of the evil dragon Lance. It squatted down on the ground and took out a banana more than a meter long from the Lucky Coin hanging around her neck.
After drinking the Shrinking Potion concocted by the evil dragon, she shrunk from over ten meters to one and a half meters.
The bananas he brought from the island were placed on the ground and poked right into her chin.
A banana is 1.2 to 1.3 meters long, isn't that big? Cute little thing, aren't you amazed!
These are specialties from Black Dragon Island. Aren't you drooling?
The baby dragon was showing off, peeling the banana with her claws, her eyes and ears observing the expressions of the maids and Joanna around her.
As gasps, exclamations, and incredulous sounds reached her ears, she took a smug bite of her banana, squinted her eyes, grinned, and enjoyed the envious and covetous look in the eyes of the little boy from the City Lord's Mansion.
"Come, come, Joanna, I have another one here. Take it and have it. Don't be shy. It's very sweet and delicious, much better than bananas in the human world."
The young dragon took out a banana from the Lucky Coin and gave it to Joanna.
That's a huge banana! It's enormous.
Joanna lost her balance when she got the banana, and if her maid Janice hadn't stepped forward in time to help her catch it, she would have been knocked to the ground by the banana.
The banana standing upright on the ground was almost as thick as her thigh, reaching to her chin. Could there really be such a huge banana in the world?! How... how am I supposed to eat this?!
This banana is so big. Even a small piece cut off is enough to fill her up.
After eating this one—no, not even half a one, she'd probably burst! Your Little Dragon Highness is too generous!
This one banana alone could easily fetch four or five Nuo Gold bars!
If you were to encounter wealthy merchants or nobles in the city, you could easily sell it for ten Nuo Gold! Or even more!
Things are valued for their rarity.
The princes and nobles in the capital probably had never seen such a big banana before.
Arrogant and domineering.
Little Dragon Highness is too arrogant.
Lance, lying in the rocking chair, felt a little sorry for her, but then thought, "Oh well, as long as the little dragon is happy, she did a good job the other day."
Back on the island, present her with a pure silver "Clumsy Dragon Flies First" award to make her happy.
To encourage her, so that she won't always think of herself as a useless young dragon.
"Lance, may I save the bananas that His Little Dragon Highness gave me for tonight, so that my father can enjoy them with him when he returns?"
"Sure, do as you please."
"Lord Lance, please stay tonight and give my father and me the opportunity to host a banquet for you."
Lance tapped the young dragon's head, which was munching on a banana, with his hand. "Do you want to eat out tonight? Or would you like to stay here and enjoy the nobles' sumptuous dinner?"
"I want to go out and eat."
She had eaten too many lavish banquets at the aristocratic dinners in the capital; they weren't very good. She'd rather try some cheap and delicious street food.
Shopping and dining can be done at the same time, isn't that great? If you see nice clothes, you can try them on; if you see cute hats, you can try them on.
If you like it, buy it and take it home.
Oh right, see if there are any clothes suitable for Er Gouzi. If there are, buy Er Gouzi some clothes to wear. She seems to have no money. The evil dragon doesn't have much money either. The young dragon said dejectedly, "Let's eat at the City Lord's Mansion."
"What's wrong?"
"You don't have much money."
"It's okay, we can set up a stall to make money."
Me, Imperial Daughter of the dignified Farolyn Empire, setting up a stall to earn money?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible! "I'll give you half of the money I earn as pocket money."
"Okay, okay, let's finish dinner early tonight and then go set up our stall."
The dragon is so kind; it even knows to give her some pocket money to spend.
What will we sell at our stall?
"You sell takoyaki, and I'll sell pills, medicine, and energy cards not far from you."
"."
Is the takoyaki she makes edible?
"Lord Lance, if you'd like to set up a stall on the street tonight, I'll take you around Lionheart City this afternoon to familiarize you with the Lionheart City and show you our Valkyrie Temple."
"Okay, let's go to the temple to pray for blessings. May the Valkyrie bless my young dragon so that he will be as brave as her when he grows up."
Joanna's eyes showed envy. Lord Lance really dotes on His Little Dragon Highness.
At 3 p. m., inside the Valkyrie Temple on Lionheart Central Avenue.
Joanna knelt devoutly on the prayer mat in the center of the temple hall, her eyes closed, praying to the Valkyrie.
The young dragon also wanted to kneel down, but Lance stopped it.
Why would a young dragon kneel before Valkyrie?
He is not a dragon god.
There was something else that bothered Lance: he felt that the Valkyrie Statue in the temple looked somewhat familiar. The young dragon saw the evil dragon staring intently at the Valkyrie Statue and was a little scared.
She feared the evil dragon might want to fall in love with a god. "Little dragon, don't you think this Valkyrie looks a bit familiar?"
"???"
The young dragon panicked immediately. This was the Valkyrie Temple! What was this evil dragon talking about? No matter how long he lived, he couldn't possibly know any gods.
"Don't talk nonsense. The gods are watching you."
"I'm not making this up. You can see for yourself."
"One should not look directly at the statues of gods or deities."
Lance walked behind the baby dragon and forcibly pried open its Dragon Eye, making it look directly at the Valkyrie Statue.
The young dragon was almost crying with fright. Staring into the statue of the god, it thought, "Oh no, I'm going to go blind... wait...
After pondering for a moment, the young dragon suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the portrait in the evil dragon's study!
Sophia! That beautiful lady who owes money to the evil dragon!!! PS1: This is a picture of Lance. I'd like to ask a friend to run an AI program on it; I'm worried about copyright infringement if I use a picture from the internet. This is the third update; I'm going to write the fourth now.
PS2: Another book recommendation! Here's the synopsis: Chen Xuance, a folklore student, transmigrates to a world of gods and ghosts similar to Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.
This land is rife with war, demons wreak havoc, and dragons and snakes rise from the land.
Even more sinister things happen: a ghost asking for directions, an old dog digging up a grave, a white snake stirring up storms, a black dragon leaping over the dragon gate, a true heretic, and a madman among the gods. Fortunately, Chen Xuance carries a merit stele, so he only needs to slay demons and monsters to receive heavenly merit, which can be used to improve the quality of his cultivation techniques, elixirs, and weapons.
Behold Chen Xuance, wielding a three-foot Copper Coin Sword, plunges headlong into this chaotic world of the Great Qian Dynasty, determined to rid the world of its demons and monsters!
