After lunch, Alusair could hardly remain at Kaladnei Manor any longer, and the Princess Regent hurriedly announced her departure.
She was as domineering as ever. If she was leaving, Aaron had to leave with her. Alusair's reasoning was, "You're on duty today, which means you answer to me."

"No one in the entire kingdom would object to you and Charlotte, but you two haven't yet... Anyway, you're still young. Don't devote too much energy to affairs between men and women." Alusair's beautiful crimson eyes remained fixed on Aaron.
She liked looking at him. She liked talking to him.

What were dragons' habits?
Well, different dragons had different habits, but all dragons shared two traits: extreme arrogance and a drive fueled by greed. Whether metallic dragons, chromatic dragons, other rare breeds, or even the three legendary dragon breeds, these two traits were essentially universal.
All dragons longed to acquire more wealth and collect more treasures they liked. The only difference was their methods. Good dragons preferred to fill their hoards through appropriate means, while evil dragons would stop at nothing to obtain wealth. They believed all the wealth in the world belonged to them.
"Women are like dragons, and women serve dragons! Neither can resist shiny things or beautiful things!"
