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

"Lady Tixia, please hurry to the capital of Norde Kingdom. During his wanderings, our Viscount might have had a less austere life than we imagined, perhaps even a bit colorful. Learning that Blue Moon is a property of his fief, I feel that the Viscount... wants to run away and continue wandering..."

Olienna quietly sent this message to Tixia, far away in Saint Blue.

She felt that it would be quite difficult for her to bring the Viscount back to Saint Blue City on her own.

Even when she suggested that the Viscount return to his fief to enjoy his blessings, he did not respond directly to her.

The only way to keep him nearby was to follow the Viscount closely, every inch of the way.

"Viscount, would you like something to drink? Something to eat? Our shop has juices, coffee, jerky, and nuts."

"I'm not hungry at the moment," Lance looked at the Dragon Whelp, "Dragon Whelp, do you fancy some snacks?"

"I, I, I... I'm not hungry right now either."

"Lacey, get some pastries, dried fruits and jerky for the little Dragon Princess, and freshly squeeze a cup of juice for her to try our Blue Moon specialty."

"Right away, manager."

"I'm really not hungry."

The young Dragon, shrunk to about one and a half meters, felt that Olienna, the manager named after her, was overly enthusiastic. Her gaze towards the young Dragon had changed slightly too.

When she was addressed as the little Dragon Princess, it was with heartfelt sincerity, as if she truly were a [Princess].

Although she indeed was the bona fide [Princess] of the Phalan Empire.

A few minutes later...

The young Dragon Lucia munched on the dried fruit and sipped on juice, squatting on a chair, listening as Olienna occasionally invited the Evil Dragon to return to his territory to enjoy comforts.

The Evil Dragon would just laugh each time and then change the subject.

Just like a wild child having too much fun outside... and not wanting to go home.

The fact that his fief's incense-making business had expanded to the capital of Norde Kingdom showed that the Evil Dragon's territory had rid itself of poverty and stepped into a modest level of wealth.

Why wouldn't the Evil Dragon want to return and enjoy his fortune?

There was money to spend, and people to serve him.

Umm... these nuts are actually quite tasty...

"Viscount, you've been away from your fief for so many years, why not go back for a visit? Your subjects miss you, and the daughter of King McDonna... oh, I mean McDonna's daughter... she's still in our territory and wants to meet you.

Stay in your fief for a while, see the changes in your lands, let your subjects have a chance to see you, would that be alright?"

Olienna spoke softly and sweetly, cajoling her Viscount back to his fief.

Otherwise, if the Viscount got away this time, they might not be so lucky to catch him again next time.

This time it was purely luck.

The Viscount probably didn't expect Blue Moon to be an asset of his own fief; had he known, perhaps he wouldn't have appeared here.

"I'm currently not inclined to return to the fief. I promised the Dragon Whelp to take her around to see.. see..."

Before Lance could finish, Olienna knelt on one knee, begging for forgiveness, "Viscount, we absolutely do not intend to restrict your freedom."

"You child... get up, get up... alright, alright... we'll stay in the capital for a few more days, then I'll take the Dragon Whelp with you back to the fief, to show her the rural scenery."

The countryside…

Viscount, the countryside in your fief... might be far beyond your expectations...

King McDonna's daughter, why wouldn't she want to leave?

Besides wanting to meet the Viscount, she has also fallen for the [countryside] scenery of your fief.

I hope the little Dragon Princess will also come to love the scenery in the countryside.

"Viscount... you aren't deceiving me?"

"I never lie to children."

"Viscount, I'm grown up now! I am a member of your Guardian Knight Legion, a Silver Plume Knight!"

Knight Legion...

With just that many knights, you dare call yourselves a legion...

If you had ten or twenty thousand knights, you might actually dare to put me on the throne.

Let's go back for a look, stay for a while, and then leave again.

Next time I leave, I'll need to cut off their hope of finding me.

What would be a good excuse to leave?

Becoming seriously ill, not long for this world.

That doesn't seem quite right, given how spirited he looks...

Overworked... nearing the end of my lifespan...

Mmm... that excuse could work...

Having you see me off is better than having to see you off...

"Oh right, my lord Viscount, the Holy Knight Steven from the Valkyrie Temple visited our shop this morning. He was looking for you, and when he left, he said... if the Viscount should come to the capital, he hopes you will visit the Valkyrie Temple."

"Sure, I'll have a look when I have time," Lance's gaze fell on the dragon whelp feasting, "Olienna, is there an amusement park in the capital?"

Some human cities do have amusement parks, and others don't.

Those famous alchemical cities in the human world certainly have them.

Next time I'll take the dragon whelp to an alchemical city, let her experience the marvels of alchemical urban life.

"Yes, my lord Viscount, would you like to take the young dragon to the amusement park for fun?"

"Yes."

"I can lead you there."

"No need, just give me the address, we'll take a car there."

"My lord Viscount... you're not planning to sneak off, are you..."

"......"

Lance was somewhat amused by Olienna's blunt question, "Won't run. I'm going back to enjoy my life of luxury."

"Really?"

"Really."

"I trust you, my lord Viscount." Olienna then asked, "My lord Viscount, where will you and the young dragon stay tonight? If you have no place to stay, shall I book a noble suite for you?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That would be fine."

"Do we have cash in the shop?"

"Yes, yes, we have a thousand Nuojin, I'll get it for the Viscount."

"No need, you keep it for emergencies."

Lance left with the young dragon. Now that he was here, of course, he planned to give the dragon whelp a good time. If they ran out of money, they could sell octopus balls at a stall in the evening.

The young dragon was a bit greedy, so back on the island, he'd make some dried fruits and jerky for the dragon whelp as snacks.

Olienna watched as her own Viscount left with the young dragon and immediately used projection communication to contact Tixia back in the fief.

Tixia, dressed in blue and gold knightly casual attire, appeared on the projection screen, "Olienna, keep the Viscount steady, I'm coming over with people right now."

"Lady Tixia, there's no need to rush over for now. The Viscount agreed to come back with me. I contacted you to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"The Viscount has a daughter."

"???" It took a while for Tixia to respond on the projection screen, "That's excellent... the Viscount having a daughter... it's good news for us, there has to be someone to inherit the Viscount's fief."

"The Viscount's daughter is an amethyst young dragon."

"?!!!"

Tixia's pupils quivered, what's going on? The Viscount's daughter... how could she be an amethyst young dragon?

"Lady Tixia, the Viscount... might have fallen for an adult female amethyst giant dragon who has birthed dragon whelps. She is the mother of the amethyst young dragon, which means... the Viscount has taken a fancy to a divorced adult female giant dragon with a child.

The amethyst young dragon might not be the Viscount's biological daughter."

"???!!!"
