Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress Chapter 862: 480: Dragon's Chant... Did You Hear It?

Chapter 862: Chapter 480: Dragon’s Chant… Did You Hear It?

When the young dragon woke up, it was already dark. Saintess Aurora and Holy Knight Steven were at her side. Seeing her awaken, Saintess Aurora handed her a cup of warm water.

“Thank you.” The young dragon accepted the cup and thanked Saintess Aurora. Her mind was still a little foggy. Sipping the warm water, her mories of coming to the Valkyrie Temple gradually beca clear.

Cleaning her sister Sophia’s statue, muttering a few words to herself, making a wish… then falling asleep…

While sleeping, it seed that she dreamt—a dream full of fairy-tale imagery, she dreamt of…

Hmm?

Strange… why couldn’t she rember?

The young dragon frowned and tried her best to recall but couldn’t, no matter how hard she tried. She finally gave up…

Anyway, the wish had co true.

“What ti is it now?”

“A little past seven in the evening.”

“What? It’s already dark?” The young dragon downed the water in the cup in one gulp, handed the cup back to Saintess Aurora, stood up, and gave a respectful bow towards the Valkyrie Statue. She silently thanked her sister Sophia in her heart, turned around, and began walking out of the temple.

As she approached the temple’s entrance, she suddenly turned around and looked at Holy Knight Steven: “Sir Steven, your mission is complete. From now on, you no longer need to guard . If you wish to return to the Sacred Mountain, you may escort Saintess Aurora back at any ti.

The conflict between divine authority and imperial authority in the Empire has co to an end. As for the vacancy in the Cardinal positions of the Bright Temple and War God Hall, I will personally explain the matter to the War God Holy Mountain and the Bright Holy Mountain.”

“Understood, Your Majesty. Not long ago, I too received an oracle from my deity.”

“Then… farewell, Sir Steven and Saintess Aurora. We will et again soday.”

The young dragon Lucia hopped away from the temple under the Valkyrie Statue’s watch. A pair of purple crystal dragon wings appeared on her back, and she flapped them, flying toward the Imperial Palace.

Steven and Aurora watched the young dragon depart, exchanged a look, then bowed to the Valkyrie Statue and left the temple as well.

Having spent considerable ti in the Phalan Empire’s Morning Star Domain, it was ti to return to the Sacred Mountain. If they delayed any further, His Grace on the Sacred Mountain would surely start worrying.

…..

Back at the Imperial Palace, the young dragon did not go to her own residence but instead headed to Asina’s palace.

Asina wasn’t in her palace—she was in the Royal Garden.

Arriving at the Royal Garden, Asina was seated in a pavilion, dealing with state affairs. A pot of red tea was placed beside her right hand.

“Your Highness Asina… Your Majesty, Queen Lucia is here.”

“I see.”

The young dragon entered the pavilion. Asina looked up at her briefly, finished processing the docunt in her hand, closed it, and placed the pen back into the pen case. Then, leisurely, she poured the young dragon a cup of red tea. “You stayed at the Valkyrie Temple until now?”

“Mm.”

“Went to complain to the Valkyrie?” Asina placed the red tea in front of the young dragon.

“Made a wish,” the young dragon admitted honestly.

“What did you wish for?”

“For everyone who rembers Princess Lucia, the third heir to the Phalan Empire… to forget .”

???

Asina’s expression of amusent turned into one of confusion. What kind of wish was this?

Beside her, lissa’s face was also full of bewildered disbelief.

“Why did you make such a wish?” Asina asked. She didn’t believe the Valkyrie would grant her imperial sister’s bizarre wish to make herself forgotten… this had to be nonsense…

“To avoid getting scolded.” The young dragon lifted her teacup, sipped the red tea, and continued speaking. “The Dragon Transformation Curse on hasn’t disappeared. The reason I can transform into a human is not because the curse is gone, but because I… have completely beco a pureblood athyst young dragon.

Mm, when I made the wish, a deity gave a choice. They asked if I wanted to continue being human, and if I did, they could turn back into one.

I chose… not to be human.”

At this, the young dragon Lucia grinned, put down the teacup in her hand, and used both hands to lift her violet hair, revealing the purple crystal dragon horns to Asina. “Dragon horns, aren’t they beautiful?”

Asina stood up, bent over, and touched the young dragon’s purple crystal dragon horns. Smooth, hard, with a slight sharpness.

She grabbed them and shook them from side to side, but they didn’t budge.

Not stuck to the head—they seed to have naturally grown out of the skull.

The faint smile on her face disappeared. “Why did you abandon your human identity? You clearly had the chance to turn back into a human. Why did you choose to transform into a pureblood athyst young dragon?

Did not becoming the Emperor of Phalan make you lose your purpose? Or… are you prepared to abandon Father and Mother, and from now on, live solely as an athyst young dragon?

When you gave up the chance to be human, did you think about Father and Mother?”

“What are you talking about? I just gave up the chance to be human, not abandoned Father and Mother. Are you dumb? As a pureblood athyst young dragon, I can freely switch between forms—I can beco human, or I can beco an athyst young dragon.

With a solution that grants the best of both worlds, without harming anyone who cares for , why would I fixate on turning back into a human?

You have no idea what I went through during these almost three years I disappeared, so why are you scolding in this tone?

Even though I turned into an athyst young dragon because of the curse and was taken away by Black Dragon Lance, I never blad you, nor did I bla anyone else. So why are you reprimanding for simply choosing not to be human?

I owe you nothing. For Father and Mother, I’ve already thought through how I’ll interact with them in the future. So why are you so angry?

Do you know? When Black Dragon Lance took away, he didn’t mistreat , nor did he raise as so child bride. He treated as his daughter.

I was originally human transford into an athyst young dragon, completely unfamiliar with the habits of giant dragons, and lacked all abilities that true young dragons possess.
