Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 419 A big witch meets a small witch

Laksha took a deep breath and made up her mind to tell Leon the mission given to her by His Majesty Tiamat.

She did not make this decision on impulse, but rather after careful consideration.

She didn't believe that Cecilia had already noticed her secret mission... She seemed to have had similar experiences to her, so maybe she really had noticed it. Besides, it was a living example in front of her, telling her how to choose.

There was another reason. Her Majesty Tiamat completely misjudged the charm of Tassera and Cecilia. They were opponents who were equally matched with her, so she was doomed to fail in completing the task, and Her Majesty Tiamat hated losers.

Finally, and most importantly, she couldn't help herself to Leon's fascinating charm, powerful strength and generous character.

"What's so important that I have to tell him?" Cecilia sat down again and blinked her cunning eyes. "Can I have a chance to listen?"

Laksha looked at Cecilia warily. Just as Leon was initially wary of the Green Dragon, she also did not trust the Green Dragon. After all, the Green Dragon was a liar and a master of mystification.

“Is there anything so important that even a princess and prime minister like me cannot know?” Cecilia waved her hand nonchalantly. “Go ahead. Leon should be forging swords in the forge now… He is the kind of person who either does nothing or, once he starts, he will work tirelessly to complete the task and then have a good rest.”

Laksha suddenly froze in place, struggling internally. She was worried that if she left the green dragon behind like this, the green dragon would take revenge on her in the future. Green dragons are always petty.

"How about letting me guess? What's your business?" Cecilia watched Laksha's awkward look with interest, and couldn't help but teasing the black dragon. "A black dragon as powerful as you is more than capable of ruling the entire swamp and forest. There is no reason for you to defect to Leon... Are you here with a mission from His Majesty?"

"Except for His Majesty," Cecilia said arbitrarily, "no one has the ability to command a powerful black dragon."

"You've been pretending for so long, but you already knew it?" Laksha's pupils shrank slightly, "You were really testing me just now."

"You wouldn't believe me even if I denied it, so I admit it." Cecilia raised her hand gracefully, "But I can swear that everything I said is true, not a single word is false."

"Did he send you to test me?" Laksha raised his voice unconsciously.

Cecilia chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Laksha frowned.

"There are so many messed up forces in the Kingdom of Zhendan. Leon doesn't care whose mission you come here for - as long as you are willing to work for him." Cecilia tilted her head slightly, "If you work for him, he will pay you a salary, and if you don't want to do it anymore, you can leave at any time. It's that simple."

"Of course," Cecilia paused and said, "If you dare to take the Black Book of the Dead and run away, that's another matter - that's illegal occupation."

Laksha bit her lip.

"What on earth are you thinking?" Cecilia's voice was somewhat mocking. "He doesn't consider you as his own at all. He doesn't care about your loyalty at all."

"As long as I tell His Majesty the truth about my mission, I can gain his trust." Laksha gritted his teeth and said, "Just like you did in the beginning."

"How naive and stupid." Cecilia said bluntly, "I thought the black dragon should at least have some brains, but it seems I was overthinking."

"Who are you calling naive and stupid?" Laksha glared.

"Isn't it?" Cecilia asked leisurely, "Our situations are completely different - I followed Leon first, and then met Your Majesty, but I have always stood firmly on Leon's side. Even so, it took me who knows how many years to truly gain his trust."

"What about you? You accepted His Majesty's mission first, and now you want to betray Him and join Leon." Cecilia's tone suddenly became sharp, "If you can betray His Majesty today, you can betray Leon tomorrow."

Laksha was speechless for a moment, but Cecilia's sarcasm continued.

"As expected of a chaotic evil black dragon, as long as the benefits are enough, betrayal is as easy as eating meat and drinking water, and you won't even blink an eye." Cecilia sneered, "You betrayed your majesty when you met Leon, so if you encounter a better choice in the future, will you also betray Leon without hesitation?"

"You can stay, because Leon doesn't care, because you are uniquely talented, and he will even entrust you with important tasks." Cecilia suddenly said in a deep voice, "But you can never be one of his own... You will never, ever, ever truly belong to either side." "You keep saying that you hate those insidious and vicious black dragons, and swear that you will never become like them..." Cecilia shook her head gently, "In fact, you are no different from them."

"Poor, pathetic fool," Cecilia concluded. "Now, you have lost the trust of His Majesty and will never gain the trust of Leon."

Laksha clenched his fists and said, "You said all that... just to laugh at me? I admit you did it."

Cecilia lowered her head, brushed her bangs, and said slowly: "If you can come up with something that satisfies me... maybe I can show you a way."

Laksha was silent for a moment. It was impossible for him to give money. He said coldly, "I owe you a favor."

"A favor from a black dragon..." Cecilia repeated playfully, then waved her hand lazily, "Forget it. I'm in a good mood today, so it's not impossible for me to give you some pointers."

Cecilia licked her lips.

“You have already betrayed His Majesty and will never be able to gain her trust again… But at least, you haven’t really betrayed Leon.” Cecilia tapped the table lightly with her fingertips. “So, you still have a chance to win his trust, but this road is not easy.”

"You must give everything to Leon without reservation. You cannot have any hesitation or double-mindedness." Cecilia said, "One betrayal can be explained as abandoning the dark and joining the light, but if it happens again... Haha, then you will be a traitor."

Laksha's breathing hitched slightly.

"If he asks you to work, you must do your best. If he asks you to bite someone—" Cecilia's lips curled up into a smile, "Even if it's our Majesty, you must pounce on him and bite him without hesitation."

“Only when you truly give up everything for him, even a heartless man like him will feel your sincerity.” Cecilia nodded heavily.

Laksha's fingertips dug deep into his palm.

"I've already shown you the way." Cecilia stood up and patted her clothes. "If you're still timid...then continue to be a rat or maggot in the gutter."

She walked towards the door, then suddenly turned back and said with regret: "You had the chance to become his princess, just like us... I was originally a weak, skinny green dragon, and I owe my success to Leon. You were born with a good foundation, and with his help, I don't know how much you would have achieved."

Seeing Cecilia about to leave, Laksha shouted, "Wait."

Cecilia turned her back to Laksha, the corners of her mouth raised silently. She had just wanted to test the Black Dragon, but she didn't expect to have the opportunity to play a trick - what Leon said was indeed effective, emotional manipulation and mental control through verbal suppression, behavioral denial, and mental suppression.

“I’ll…try.” Laksha took a deep breath, his voice tight.

"Wise decision." Cecilia turned around.

Laksha was like a deflated ball.

"I still don't know what your majesty's mission is?" Cecilia did not let Laksha go. She had to defeat her in one fell swoop.

"He, He wants me to use charm to confuse the red dragon, make him infatuated, and then lay his eggs." Laksha said hesitantly.

Cecilia raised her eyebrows and said, “Unfortunately, Leon doesn’t want children for the time being.”

She touched her belly and continued, "Otherwise he should have a litter of dragon cubs by now."

"Whether he agrees or not." Laksha whispered, "Your Majesty has a way."

"Sit down." Cecilia ignored all the mess and waved to Laksha, "Tell me more."
