7th Demon Prince Jilbagias’ Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling

Chapter 65: How To Use The Dragon Daughter

How To Use The Dragon Daughter

Half of Lyla's lifetime was spent in the darkness.

When she broke the shell of her egg, she was in a dark cave. Lyla was born in the incubation place under the demon kings castle, a rare case for a white dragon.

With their natural light attribute, the dragon's child hatched from the egg could become a strong and wise dragon as long as the egg was exposed to sunlight. Unlike the other dragon race, white dragon clan wasn't dependent on the incubation place.

But since they need to give birth to an even more powerful successor to entrust with the future of the white dragons, her father, Faravugi did his best to secure the closest place to the center of the incubation place.

Look! She's such an adorable girl. Her round eyes are just like yours dear.

Hahaha, and her beautiful, glittering scales is just like yours.

She was loved by her parents. Though her memory as a young dragon who had yet to be able to fly was vague, it was still a happy memory for her.

But Everything changed when the relationship with the dark dragons worsened.

The negotiation with the demon king was left to the dark dragons who had the same darkness attribute as the darkling. Since the relationship between white dragons and dark dragons was already akin to dog and cat long before that, this case made it as if the white dragons were drawing the short end of the stick.

Dangerous tasks in the frontline, hunting assignment and procuring for food, the turn to receive treatment. Their dissatisfaction grew little by little for hundreds of years.

Until a certain day, they finally snapped. Maybe That was the aim of the dark dragons all along.

Faravugi led his clan to send a protest to the dark dragons, which ended up becoming an assassination attempt toward Orphen At least, that was what they told Lyla.

It seems the situation turned into a brawl in which breath attacks were flying around. She saw a lot of white dragon's corpses, including her mother. The other white dragons, including her father had escaped from the demon king's castle, leaving Lyla behind.

Or so, according to them.

Properly speaking, you're supposed to be executed too.

Said Orphen and the other dark dragons who surrounded Lyla while looking down on her.

Even if you're a white dragon, we can't just kill you due to your young age. So we'll keep you alive.

But Living among dark dragons was hell for her. They would suddenly snarl at her, or hit her with their tail, her life over there was accompanied by constant pain, and fear.

Sorry! I'm sorry!

No matter how much they beat her, Lyla had always been the one who was apologizing

It's just that ever since she learnt the magic of human transformation, she had always been forced to stay in her human form, and always tormented in that form.

Since the human body was too fragile, she might have ended up dying just from an accidental collision with another dragon. Thus, no matter how much they bully her, the dark dragons have never gone as far as killing her.

But then, Lyla's position only worsened when the escaped white dragons joined hands with the alliance to raid the demon king castle. Now even the dark dragon's employees were also tormenting her and though she managed to survive somehow

Another incident convinced her that she would really die this time.

Lyla, your father is dead.

Eh

That was the first thing that Orphen, who rarely appeared, said when he appeared before her again.

He was hiding in the demon kingdom. And of all people, he had to attack the demon race's prince himself. Not to mention that the said prince turned the tables against your father

Lyla felt as if her entire world was about to collapse. The only thing that kept her alive in that seemingly never ending darkness was the hope, or dream that someday, her father would come to save her, alas

Attacking a prince is a capital crime. Thanks to your father Rather, the entire white dragon clan itself, the position of the dragon race in the demon kingdom has deteriorated.

Said Orphen as he grabbed strongly on Lyla's shoulders until his nails almost tore her skin.

Good grief, your clan is really a jinx for the dragon race. But Lyla, it really is a good thing that I kept you, an incompetent alive until now.

His frigid, cold gaze looked straight into Lyla's eyes.

You'll become a present for the prince. Atone for your father's sin with that body of yours.

Wuuu Kusu.

Lyla ended up crying on the floor as if she lost it. Liliana was cuddling up to her as if worrying about Lyla.

Anyhow.

I spoke while mustering my entire brain power in spite of this fucked up situation.

I want to talk alone with Lyla. Everyone except Liliana may wait outside of the door.

Master, that's too Reckless.

Garounya was the first one to raise an objection.

She is A dragon after all

Added Garounya as she cast a sidelong glance at Lyla Who didn't seem to be someone who would do bad things Or had the courage and confidence to do that.

Come to think of it, Garounya didn't know about her huh.

I showed her a black metallic ring placed on Lyla's neck.

This dwarf-made metallic choker. This choker will crush her neck and kill her if she tries to cancel her magic of human transformation. The key has already been entrusted to Sofia.

It seems Lyla was forced to constantly take her human form. The dark dragon went as far as placing this choker on her neck.

Human transformation magic was something that a dragon would learn naturally. If they didn't take off their clothes when they transformed back to their dragon form, their human clothes would be torn to shreds.

On the other hand, when they wore an accessory that was strong enough And it was made in human size Those accessories would end up pressuring their body once they canceled their transformation.

The choker was made to fit Lyla's slender neck in her human form. Honestly, I don't want to imagine what would happen if she Canceled her magic of human transformation as it was.

That's why there is no need to worry about my safety.

I said so while heaving a sigh.

Well, in my opinion, she wouldn't attack me even if she didn't have that choker

I mean, if her current desperate figure was only an act to make me let my guard down, she must be quite an actor

Garounya was finally convinced after hearing my explanation, thus everyone left my room.

Leaving I, Liliana, and Lyla whose eyes were deader than dead alone in the room. I didn't waste any time conjuring a soundproof barrier.

Ooh, are you trying to commit some sort of guilt? Now listen, killing the father and then ra*ping his daughter will let you to get a lot of power.

Ante You bi*tch

Even as a joke please think of the place and situation

I heaved a deep sigh Lyla's body twitched Woops, my bad I had no intention to scare you. Then I stood from my seat and walked to the shelf, taking the prepared cup there.

It's hard to start the conversation if you keep doing that. Sit in the sofa.

Maybe because she didn't want to sit next to me, she chose the edge of the sofa, furthest away from my seat.

And then sat timidly. It felt as if she didn't want to approach me And yet too scared to disobey me.

She was only separated by an arm length distance from me.

I poured the herb tea from the pot on the desk into the prepared cup.

I wonder what she thinks of someone Of my status.

I know this might be strange coming from me, the one who killed your father but. I hope you can at least say something.

Lyla's body twitched again.

T-There's no way I can do that. B-Being able to talk with Your Highness is A honor.

Then stop making that forced smile while trying to surpress your tears, it was painful to watch.

I Couldn't apologize about the fact that I killed Faravugi.

It felt like I would become someone like that green bast*ard if I said My bad, I killed your father to Lyla.

If I was in her position I might say "If you feel sorry for that, then go kill yourself right now".

Apology only worked on something That could be repaired.

Moreover, apologizing here would only put Lyla's position above me. Ignoring how she felt and being the only one who was satisfied with having her accept my apology would only torment her tattered mind even further.

If that was the case, I would rather have her To hate me as her target of revenge.

Firstly, let me tell you that I have no intention to blame the dragon race or you in the matter related to your father. In fact, I am so close with refusing their apology gift, namely you.

I told her so while sipping the tea in my mug.

Reason being I did fight against your father but Faravugi's crime for attacking me has already been settled with his death.

Lyla kept her silence while looking at the steaming cup in front of her.

Naturally, I can also use this incident and my authority as the demon prince to put some pressure on the dragon race But, Orphen prevented that by offering you.

And then, I tried my best to maintain the stern look on my face. Alas, I dare to add some dissatisfied elements to my current expression.

Honestly my dissatisfaction aside I have never expected that Orphen will regard me as some sort of atrocious ba*stard with a extremely bad hobby.

"Eh, are you not?" That was what Lyla's current expression had told me. I mean, you misunderstood me, Young Lady.

But damn, seeing the shock on her face hurt me even more, my reputation outside doesn't look good.

Well, I guess it can't be helped for you to think like that after looking at Liliana though

Liliana raised her body, sitting upright while looking expectantly at me as if asking Did you just call me?.

Lyla, do you know about the conflict between night elf and forest elf?

Eh Ah, yes Maybe

Liliana has been a captive of the night elf for a long time. They lop off her limbs, weld the cross-section with metal, chained her up, and keep torturing her for a whole seven years.

Lyla looked at me with expression as if she couldn't believe it as she saw Liliana happy face as I brushed her hair on my lap

Seeing her in such a pitiful state. I couldn't help but

Well, I should choose my words carefully.

Rewrite her personality, make her think that she's my beloved dog, and take her out of that hell. The choice is between turning her into a dog or letting her keep suffering in that place, those two options might sound just as bad and yet She choose to become my dog

Liliana then placed her head on my abdomen as she was licking my hand At least looked more blessed than before.

Naturally, I wanted to restore her limbs too but, I had no choice but to leave her limbs as it is due to the opposition of the night elf, and from the fact that I have to unfasten the metal fitting welded on her limbs too.

I looked at Lyla as I told her the truth behind Liliana's current condition.

That's why rest assured, I don't have any bad hobbies such as lopping off the limbs of the girls from other race and turn them into my pet!

Y-Yes

Lyla nodded obediently upon hearing my last passionate speech.

That's why Now I have to tell you about your treatment from here on.

Lyla gulped her saliva upon hearing those words, her fists were clenched above her knees.

But I have a question for you, or a request to be exact.

Eh, yes, I will do anything within the limit of what I can do

Seeing Lyla's cramped smile, I didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the topic.

Can you teach me magic of human transformation?

Eh?

What in the hell is this guy talking about? Was plastered on Lyla's face.
