Chapter 595 : Things Kids Can't Watch

~7 min read 1,294 words

Felyn really did think so.

For all these years, she had never been late with his payment.

On days when he had other matters and couldn't provide his services, she wouldn't get angry. Instead, she would discuss the time with him and wouldn't force him to serve her at a specific time.

If the contract service time was too long, there would be overtime pay. In severe weather, she would even reimburse his travel expenses.

Was she an evil dragon?

At least to him, she was not.

Felyn saw Seraphinia's gaze flicker, knowing that even his most conservative words had unsettled her heart. He quickly changed the subject. "If I were you, I would design a treasure that would drive humans to obsession and madness."

"Then I would bestow it upon the hero's party, making them suspect and guard against each other for a lifetime. The final result might even trigger a great war among humans."

The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon.

Felyn wasn't very interested in the hero's party, especially after coming into contact with Seraphinia.

For nearly a hundred years, dragons had not actively invaded human territory, but humans, in order to promote courage and strength, would still actively seek out traces of dragons.

Only by experiencing difficulties would a hero be respected and believed.

If there were no difficulties, then difficulties had to be created.

Seraphinia raised an eyebrow, feeling that Felyn had provided her with a new line of thought.

"I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously. I don't want to really become a sinner of humanity," Felyn felt that Seraphinia was already considering the feasibility of this matter.

"Do you like dragons?" It was the first time Seraphinia had heard someone speak up for her, helping her strategize.

"If it's a dragon like you, then I like it very much."

Felyn's professional instinct made him answer this question unintentionally once again.

"I-I mean, if it's a powerful and talented dragon like you, then I like it."

After trying to patch it up a few times, Felyn felt that the more he said, the more specific it became, so he simply gave up.

He had the uncomfortable feeling of having to suppress his true strength.

"Excuse me, sorry to bother you two," a waitress walked up to Felyn and Seraphinia. "There's a child at the door who wants to find Miss Seraphina. May I ask if you know her?"

"Looking for me?" Seraphinia raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

---

At the restaurant entrance.

A little girl wearing a thick scarf appeared, holding a promotional magazine about Seiva.

She was currently wearing a pink off-the-shoulder dress, with a pair of white short boots on her feet, as exquisite as a doll in a display window.

When she saw Seraphinia, she immediately stood on her tiptoes and let out a soft gasp.

It was Lianlora.

Her long purple hair and most of her face were covered by a pure white wool scarf, but Felyn could still smell the familiar milky scent on her.

How did she end up here?

And she even had time to change her clothes?

"She has been waiting here for twenty minutes, so we asked her who she was looking for, and she pointed to your picture in the magazine."

Twenty minutes?

Felyn found it a bit strange.

Whenever Lianlora appeared, she would attract the attention of the capital district's students and immediately get caught in a battle for her relic.

But this time, twenty minutes had passed and no one had discovered her.

And she didn't look like she was carrying a relic.

The waitress tactfully left, leaving the three of them at the entrance.

"Looks like we've been latched onto," Seraphinia walked to Lianlora's side, enveloping her in her shadow.

"You still want to kill me?"

Lianlora shook her head, pointed at Felyn, then at Seraphinia.

"He, likes, you."

"Hmm?"

Lianlora squatted down, grabbing the hem of Seraphinia's dress that trailed on the floor, and raised her head. "I, want, to watch."

"Kids can't watch," Felyn had a bit of a headache.

A casual remark was actually taken seriously by Lianlora.

She probably wanted to see if a human had really fallen in love with a dragon, and also wanted to take this opportunity to see if Seraphinia was the good dragon she thought she was.

Even though she had become a soul form, Lianlora still cared about the safety of the empire and would not allow a dangerous dragon to appear in the capital district.

"I, am not, a child," Lianlora pointed at her own face, puffing out her cheeks, a little unhappy.

Her youthful body and her childish voice always made Felyn think she was a child.

"She used the power of the Eye of Reincarnation," Seraphinia looked at Lianlora's eyes and discovered a hint of dark green. "The Lianlora we saw just now was just a wisp of her soul incarnate. But this one now is probably her real self."

"Her real self? Then should I get on one knee and bow to her?"

As a noble, Felyn also had to perform the etiquette of a noble.

"N-No need," Lianlora generously indicated that there was no need for that.

Seraphinia rubbed her forehead, thinking that tonight's date was destined to be ruined by this little one.

The power of the Eye of Reincarnation was also limited, and the materialization of the soul had a time limit.

As long as they waited out this period, Lianlora would disappear and would only be able to reappear after the power of the Eye of Reincarnation recovered.

So, thinking logically, the safest solution at this time would be for Felyn to persuade Seraphinia to take Lianlora and hide at home or in a private place.

This way, Lianlora could know that Seraphinia had never harmed humans, and Seraphinia would not be at risk of being exposed.

But...

As a professional, what Felyn had to do was to proactively dig deep into the client's needs.

Is going home really the best solution?

If she had to hide at home because of a human, Seraphinia's pride as a dragon would probably be affected.

Although Felyn didn't understand a dragon's pride, he was still willing to respect Seraphinia.

"Let's go home," Seraphinia hesitated for a while, but still gave up on tonight's date.

If it were just her, she would not go back. She was unwilling to hide for the sake of a human.

But now she was with Felyn. If people found out that Felyn was so close to a dragon, then Felyn would also be affected.

"Go back?" Felyn didn't expect Seraphinia to take the initiative to suggest going home. "We can take Her Highness on a date with us."

"No need for that trouble," Seraphinia shook her head, not taking the proposal to heart.

"But you're so beautiful today, I still want to spend more time with you outside."

The red high heel paused in mid-air, hesitating to come down.

Felyn couldn't see Seraphinia's expression at this moment, but he could almost hear her heartbeat.

The dragon maiden, who was about to walk out, came back.

A faint pink finally appeared on her face.

She avoided Felyn's gaze, her hand twisting the lock of hair that fell in front of her chest.

"But she will expose us," she said in a low voice.

At this moment, a family of three walked up to the restaurant entrance.

The little girl, holding her parents' hands, walked to Felyn's side, looking at Felyn and the others with some curiosity.

And the gazes of Felyn's group of three also fell on the little girl.

"Seraphinia, if you trust me, I won't let her expose your identity."
