Chapter 252: The Married Dragon Joins the Party!
The black dragon, Cayen, was reflecting on the recent events.
Had he made any mistakes, any miscalculations?
The only problem, if it could be called one, was that he hadn’t done anything. Cayen hadn’t slept a wink since Geum Taeyang left his nest.
‘What exactly was that ability?’
The Imperial Envoy couldn’t be touched carelessly.
Even if they were anti-Imperial, no, especially if they were anti-Imperial, they couldn’t be attacked recklessly.
However….
Things didn’t always go according to plan.
Cayen could have killed Taeyang and pretended nothing happened if he had wanted to.
If Taeyang hadn’t emerged unscathed after being hit by a black dragon’s full-powered sword strike.From the perspective of a dragon, a ‘supreme being’ in this world, there was something undeniably eerie about Geum Taeyang’s ability.
Long ago, when the four Dragon Kings, including Ochul, decided to fight the Empire.
They were utterly defeated.
Because a black-haired, patterned girl, called the Princess of the Blood Clan, overwhelmed the dragons’ abilities.
Stories that would fade into legends for humans were vivid for dragons, as if they happened yesterday.
Cayen had lost countless brethren in that incident.
“Lord Cayen.”
“What is it?”
A man who appeared to be a messenger bowed his head before the contemplative dragon.
“Her Majesty summons you.”
“I’ll be there shortly.”
Either way, Cayen was about to get moving.
While it was a bit late to report Geum Taeyang’s existence, even though he had an obligation to do so immediately, Cayen wasn’t concerned about that.
‘There’s no stupid dragon who would carry him to the Ice Palace, not even among the neutral dragons around here.’
Even at their fastest, it would take five days on foot.
But with a dragon’s wings, it would only take 30 minutes.
The closer he got to the Queen’s territory, the more Cayen felt the unbearable cold, even for his dragon scales.
It was always like this near the ‘Ice Palace’.
A castle built of ice on a high mountain.
Landing in the open-ceilinged audience chamber, Cayen looked around to see if any other dragons had arrived.
‘I’m the first to arrive.’
Cayen turned his gaze to the pure white throne atop the icy stairs.
Just then, he saw Iris walking towards the throne.
Iris was walking elegantly, completely naked.
Even though he knew it was rude to stare, Cayen couldn’t take his eyes off her.
‘Her Majesty… is beautiful today as well.’
Her flawless, white skin made the pure white throne seem dull in comparison.
Her bright, blue hair flowed down her ample breasts and back.
Her white, slender fingers and jawline, and her icy gaze, exuded a sophisticated and elegant beauty, like a work of art.
Even though she seemed like frost that would freeze everything it touched, her lips were full and red. Frost imbued with fire.
“Who are you.”
“Your Majesty, I am Cayen. We met four days ago.”
“Is that so.”
Cayen didn’t mind that the Queen didn’t remember him.
He showed proper respect to a true ancient dragon, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head.
Iris was unmoved. That too was a human custom. Iris hated humans.
“It seems the Empire is making a move.”
She immediately focused on her interests.
“Actually….”
Cayen recounted his encounter with the Imperial Envoy.
“Why didn’t you bring him before me?”
“That man was more focused on his trainer instincts than his duties. If left alone, he won’t interfere with us until we complete our task.”
“Training…. Training at a time like this?”
When Iris crossed her legs, Cayen’s eyes widened.
The slightly pressed flesh between Iris’s crossed thighs had a magical power that drew a man’s gaze.
It was irresistible.
“There are still those who engage in such empty acts.”
“If left alone, he will self-destruct.”
“Did you not fight?”
“Like the detestable Blood Clan, he used a strange defensive technique.”
“You didn’t fight at full strength.”
“I stopped my sword when I learned he was the Envoy.”
“Was he strong?”
“Rather than strong….”
Recalling the fight, Cayen expressed his honest impression.
“It was strange.”
“Strange?”
“It wasn’t that my attacks were blocked, but rather that I felt strongly that they weren’t allowed from the beginning.”
Cayen’s intuition had hit the nail on the head.
However, no one yet knew that Geum Taeyang’s blood art could interfere with space itself.
“He is likely to become a potential threat.”
“What are your orders?”
“Kill him.”
Cayen was startled.
“Are you planning to wage war against the Empire before the civil war is even over?”
“I will fight the Empire as soon as the civil war concludes. Eliminating the enemy’s key forces is also a good strategy.”
“Then I will go and retrieve his head immediately.”
“No. You wait.”
The Queen’s gaze shifted to a corner of the room.
“Who turned off the lights?”
A cute, high-pitched voice.
A petite, blonde, twin-tailed girl, flaunting her ample bosom in a slingshot bikini, appeared.
With her appearance, all the lights in the audience chamber turned on.
“Alremene.”
Cayen muttered.
“Hi, dark friend. Still dressed so stuffy.”
“Wearing a bikini in the Ice Palace is weirder.”
“I’ll be back soon. I can take care of that Imperial Envoy, right? Your Majesty.”
“Lady Iris, why….”
“If you show your face again, your intentions will be easily read.”
Cayen’s pride was hurt.
Would it have been wiser to fight to the end?
The thought kept nagging at him.
“But, Your Majesty. Even so, isn’t it dangerous to fight the Empire immediately after the civil war? Until recently, there were talks of that in the council.” 𝙧
“That was then. The situation has changed.”
Cayen and Alremene reacted simultaneously.
“Has the Hero arrived?”
“Yes. He’s already here.”
“I thought it was just an alliance in words, but it seems they’re really going to help us.”
Cayen also found the First Number’s actions unexpected.
The civil war in the Dragon Kingdom was, after all, ‘someone else’s business’ to them.
Even though there was no reason for them to shed blood and help, the anti-Imperial faction had formed an alliance with the Hero.
What did that mean?
“The civil war will end.”
“Everything will return to its rightful place. Prepare for the real war.”
“Yes.”
“Understood. I’ll be going then.”
Cayen spoke as if to stop Alremene as she turned to leave.
“Why don’t you go with Lady Tracyon, Alremene?”
“What, are you worried about me?”
“It’s not that….”
Cayen felt an inexplicable anxiety.
“That man is insidious. Very much so.”
“Are you saying it’s dangerous for a woman to go alone?”
“….”
He couldn’t have made a bigger blunder.
In the dragon world, females were ‘always’ stronger than males.
“I thought I’d gotten weaker without realizing it.”
“I’m just concerned….”
“Do you like me?”
“….”
Gulp.
Cayen swallowed.
Of course, Cayen had never possessed a woman as beautiful as Alremene.
And she was a dragon.
In the dragon world, marriage meant the female unilaterally choosing the male.
Because females were much stronger and could do much more.
Even Cayen, who was ‘strong for a male,’ couldn’t escape the constraints of this dragon society.
“Just kidding. Just kidding. Just how far did your imagination go? Look at your face~. Hilarious.”
“…Ugh.”
“Isn’t it Cayen who’s being lewd?”
“Don’t tease me.”
“I’ll approach this carefully. Sion was seriously injured too.”
“Lady Tracyon was?”
The Light Dragon, Tracyon.
The fact that she, who was practically Iris’s right hand, was seriously injured was hard to believe, whether it was a joke or not.
Tracyon was a dragon who hadn’t shed blood in the last several hundred years.
“Her Majesty would know better about this, wouldn’t she?”
“It’s an Imperial spy.”
Iris said.
“The Empire planted a spy. To stop us if we make any suspicious moves.”
“So Lady Tracyon….”
“I heard Sion fought for three days and nights.”
“What happened to the opponent?”
“She couldn’t handle it, so she just imprisoned her. You might have heard of it. The rumors about the Empire having a half-orc princess.”
“Half-orc….”
Cayen felt insulted.
A daughter with orc blood defeating a dragon? Such a thing shouldn’t happen.
Dragons were supreme beings.
But at the same time, Cayen understood the enemy’s strength.
“The opponent is of the Blood Clan. Even Sion couldn’t help it.”
Dragons shuddered at the mention of the ‘Blood Clan’.
Because it reminded them of their ‘defeat’ against supreme beings.
“I will assist in any way I can.”
“Stand by.”
Iris said.
“Your Majesty…?”
“First, we will assess the Hero’s abilities. We have already shed blood, so wait and see.”
Understanding the Queen’s intentions, Cayen bowed his head.
“If Alremene fails, then you will go together and attack the Imperial Envoy.”
“Understood.”
“Cayen, rest in your nest. A nameless Blood Clan is no match for me.”
“Be careful.”
Alremene transformed into a land dragon and soared into the sky.
“Your wife… is pregnant.”
After fulfilling my surrogate duties, I make a serious declaration, devoid of humor, in a meeting with the dragon couple.
That the world’s best dragon mom… is pregnant.
“….”
“….”
Aaron sat with his back straight, staring at me silently.
His gaze was intimidating.
I felt my stomach clench.
“Thank you.”
He bowed his head to me, still sitting upright.
“I’m sure you must be surprised by how things turned out.”
“It was unexpected.”
“….”
“….”
Silence again.
…The atmosphere was heavy, making it difficult to speak.
The dragon mom was meticulously peeling an apple with a knife.
“…My wife seemed to enjoy her union with a human so much.”
“Ahh~”
Emilia feeds me a bite-sized piece of apple.
…It’s delicious, but I feel like I might choke.
“Child, is it good?”
“It is.”
“I’m happy to be pregnant. You are too, right?”
“Yes. It is a joyous occasion to have a child growing inside you. You’ve worked hard.”
“Thank you.”
“But how did you know about the pregnancy?”
“Ah, I have this ability….”
It’s hard to explain.
Like when I checked for virginity, I concentrated and could hear her monologue about the fertilization.
There’s no other way I could report the pregnancy the next day.
“It might sound suspicious, but I’m certain.”
“I don’t doubt you. You kept your promise.”
“Thank you.”
“I heard from my wife about how impressive you were in bed.”
“….”
She said that?
What happened during our union….
It was so incredibly lewd that I hesitated to even tell my assistants.
Emilia smiles beautifully when our eyes meet.
Impulsively, I grab Emilia’s breasts.
“Ahh. In front of my husband….”
“Ah. I apologize. My surrogate duties are over, but….”
As I try to remove my hands, Emilia grabs them and rubs them against her breasts.
“It’s okay. The child who impregnated me is like family to us.”
Is that some kind of miraculous logic?
“Goo goo, mommy!”
I immediately comply.
Nuzzling my face against Emilia’s breasts!
“Oh my oh my♥”
“Ah.”
I come to my senses.
“I apologize, Mr. Aaron….”
“It’s alright. I’m trying to think of you as my own child as well.”
Isn’t that even more dangerous?
Even though my surrogate duties are over, the couple’s kindness makes me uncomfortable.
“Shall we have some milk, child?”
Emilia wraps her arm around my neck and pulls me towards her breasts.
Oh…. Ohh….
“I want some…. Mommy….”
I should be leaving now….
But I can’t break free from Emilia’s embrace, evolving into a mama’s boy Geum Taeyang.
I eat the meal she prepared deliciously and even play ball with her in the garden.
“Here goes~!”
I fetch the ball Emilia throws.
…….
“Good job! My child!”
“…?”
What am I doing…?
“As a reward, let’s have some milk~.”
“Mi….
Like a baby, I snuggle into Emilia’s embrace and enjoy her breasts.
No! Stop regressing!
“Emilia!”
I grab Emilia’s shoulders with a serious expression.
“Yes, child?”
“Can you take me to Iris? On your wings….”
“That’s dangerous! Child.”
Emilia hugs me tightly.
“Just stay in mommy’s arms. Okay?”
“Gasp.”
Her breasts are so soft…!
“Iris is a scary dragon, child.”
“Please take me there, I’m begging you.”
“Child….”
Honestly, I’m a little scared to go alone. What if the place is swarming with dragons stronger than Cayen?
I grab Emilia’s hand tightly.
“No… Come with me. Emilia!”
“Oh my!”
Emilia’s cheeks flush.
“I-I haven’t been invited on an adventure~ in 499 years…! Mommy’s so excited…!”
“….”
Indeed…
Our dragon mom suits the image of someone who’s already settled down and living happily with her husband, rather than going on adventures.
“It’s okay. Let’s go together! Emilia.”
From her husband’s perspective, this is incredibly inconsiderate.
But… it’s hard to resist being spoiled!
I want to go with Emilia, rather than acting tough and going alone!
I hug the dragon mom tightly and kiss her.
“Mnn…. Kiss. Child, let go. I can’t be bothering… young dragons like this at my age.”
“Emilia, help me.”
No, I shouldn’t call her name.
I know Emilia’s weakness…!
“I might… die if you’re not with me…!”
“No! Child!”
“Do you want me to die? Mommy!”
Even I felt ashamed of my own words….
I’m becoming human garbage, not even a third-rate villain.
Emilia bursts into tears.
“Emilia….”
“Just imagining my child dying…. Sob….”
“Take me to Iris. I won’t ask for anything more.”
“Okay! Child.”
Woohoo~!
Successfully tamed the Red Dragon!
“I’ll carry you on my back, child!”
Dragon mommy’s spine is so sweet~.
Heading straight to the final boss!
Emilia tells Aaron, who was watering the plants.
“Dear, I’m going out with the child.”
“Have a good time.”
He’s so cool….
Is Aaron actually the Ice Dragon?
His coolness is freezing.
“Child, you know mommy loves you, right?”
I nod.
“Don’t talk about dying again. Promise.”
…Emilia holds out her pinky finger.
Why does a dragon know about this? It makes me feel guilty….
I link pinkies and promise Emilia.
“I won’t talk about dying. Emilia.”
When she has her own child, will this love shift to her offspring?
The thought makes me a little sad.
