Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

Evil Dragons love to brag, and ever since he claimed there are two types of Black Dragons and Evil Dragons, Lucia knew that Evil Dragon Lance enjoyed boasting.

Dragons who are fond of boasting surely like others to sing their praises too.

She complimented the Evil Dragon on his handsome looks, and he grinned—this must be a sign of happiness.

Then, for some reason unknown to her, the Evil Dragon became unhappy, saying that she didn't know what handsome meant and asked her to praise him for being affable and approachable instead.

No matter how you think about it... or look at it... the term "affable and approachable" doesn't seem to fit an Evil Dragon, right?

Luckily, she was a bit far from the Evil Dragon; otherwise, she would definitely have been smacked.

In her heart, Lucia reminded herself not to casually guess at the Evil Dragon's thoughts in the future…

The Evil Dragons are not bad, they just kinda like to beat up Young Dragons…

"Lance, can't you transform into a human? When we use video calls, why don't you change into a human instead of appearing as a 'Dragon grandfather'... in front of humans?"

She had hoped to see the Evil Dragon's human form, but instead, the Evil Dragon was still his reduced dragon size, facing humans in his true form.

The members of the Bronze Guild seemed to be used to this look of the Evil Dragon; they didn't seem to doubt "Old Man Lance."

"When facing humans, there's no need to interact with them in a human form; a Dragonborn form is also fine. The Human World now is not like it was thousands of years ago. Today's Human World is very inclusive, and members from different races can freely walk in the towns and cities of the Human World.

Even some of the less dangerous Demon Race species can appear in human towns, like succubi, fairly weak vampires, etc....

Under non-war conditions, humans won't reject other races outright. Of course, if conflict breaks out between humans and another race, human law enforcement will tend to side with their own kind.

Another point is that foreign females are more popular in the Human World and are also more likely to become targets of villains. Many foreign females are captured by humans and end up as slaves.

Remember, if you ever go to play in the Human World and encounter humans who mean you harm, fight them with all you've got. If there's trouble, I'll cover for you."

Lance didn't want the Young Dragon he'd picked up to become a slave to humans.

"As a Dragon female, you should also be wary of those handsome, good-looking human males. If a good-looking human male showers you with sweet words and praises... well, still the same advice, beat them up badly... cough... you can go a bit lighter on these ones, puff up their faces...

Or break an arm or a leg..."

He had gone through so much trouble to raise the Young Dragon he'd found, and if anyone dared to deceive or harm the Dragon Whelp he raised, he was ready to cripple them...

From now on, he should instill this kind of thinking in the Dragon Whelp now and then.

When she gets older and goes to the Human World to have fun, if she meets any good-looking, handsome human males, perhaps she would reflexively... leave them crippled...

A human male who scurries away after being disabled once certainly didn't genuinely care for the Young Dragon he'd picked up.

But a human male who doesn't flee even after being disabled countless times might truly be fond of the Young Dragon he'd picked up...

Even so... he had no desire to let the Dragon Whelp he'd picked up marry a human.

Human lives are short; he couldn't stand by and watch as his future Dragon Whelp became a young widow, could he?

If possible, he still hoped that his future Dragon daughter would marry a Pureblood Dragon with good virtues and character...

"This... this... isn't that too cruel? Would it be too ferocious? Harming bad guys isn't cruel, but for good-looking human males... with no ill intentions towards me... who compliment me on my looks... and if I beat them... that seems a bit too fierce, doesn't it?"

If she really took the Evil Dragon's word for it, it wouldn't just be ferocious; it would be downright brutal and unreasonable.

Princess Lucia could never do such a thing, not because she was reluctant to beat up handsome and good-looking human males...

It was because she couldn't persuade herself to harm someone who bore her no malice.

The etiquette of the Human World and the cultivation of a Princess wouldn't allow her to act in such a way.

"You're still too young. Remember this: good-looking, handsome men are the most deceptive. Clever and graceful girls who often interact with human males can be duped out of money and virtue without realizing it, let alone a Young Dragon.

Think about it, can you guarantee that when you turn into a human, you'll be as pretty as those beautiful girls in the Human World? Can you be as wealthy as the noble daughters of the human realm?

You can't, can you? If you can't guarantee that you'll be as beautiful as those girls when you transform into a human, nor ensure you'll be as rich as the noble daughters...

Think about it: with no money, no looks, no family background, why would human males want to approach you? Why would they praise you or pursue you?

They must have an ulterior motive; what are they after, do you think?"

"Tutu, I... what?"

"What about you? Of course, they're after your dragon blood, dragon flesh, dragon tendons, dragon bones, dragon horns, dragon scales, dragon eyes, dragon teeth... A giant dragon's entire body is a treasure. They harmed you and then declared you an evil dragon... He gained both fame and wealth, becoming a dragonslayer. After that, guess how many ignorant little human girls will be attracted to him?

Then admire him, be infatuated with him, and like him?"

Lucia's slender dragon body trembled slightly, and a look of fear appeared in her vertical pupils.

No, no, no... She didn't want to be dissected, didn't want to fall in love.

Wuwuwu...

She didn't want to fall in love with a male human ever again; it was too frightening for the princess...

How can people be so wicked?

So wicked.

The evil dragon was right, those who praised her might not be sincere in their praise, they could also be gaining her favor in order to harm her...

Love... she, she, she...

No, that's not right; she's not really a young dragon, so why should she be so scared?

Could it be that she, the princess, would remain a young dragon forever?

She is the princess.

Who would dare harm her?

To harm her would be to rebel.

The evil dragon exaggerated too much, just to prevent the young dragon from falling in love.

Hmm... just to be safe, it's better to be cautious when it comes to love from now on...

Forget it; if she returns to the imperial city and becomes the emperor, then it wouldn't matter whether she falls in love or not.

She wants to be a good emperor who wholeheartedly serves the country and her people.

Love?

Love would only interfere with her reign, it's not because she's too scared to fall in love after being frightened by the evil dragon.

"Evil Dragon... is that the reason you don't fall in love with the princess?"

"What reason?"

"Afraid of being dissected by the princess... You don't fall in love with human princesses... Is it because you fear that you might be dissected in your sleep by the princess?"

"......."

Oh no...

Now that the dragon whelp he found said it... he felt like he also couldn't dare to fall in love with human girls...

No, that's not right.

He didn't even have the intention to fall in love, so what was there to fear?

Besides... to dissect him... they would have to break through his defenses first...

"Right, right, right, you're absolutely correct; that is the reason I don't fall in love with human princesses. As the saying goes, the prettier, the lovelier, and the smarter a girl is, the more likely she is to deceive you... deceive dragons... After all, us pureblood dragons are very simple, easy to deceive."

"......."

Yeah, right.

Other evil dragons might be gullible, but you, Evil Dragon Lance, have more tricks up your sleeve than a deep-sea siren has suckers on her countless tentacles...

To deceive you...

It would be impressive if they don't end up being deceived by you instead, losing both money and charm...
