After the meeting, Neytisa asked the other dragon members who had come with her to return to their resting place, while she prepared to take her daughter out for a trip.
"Mom, I'm so happy!"
As little Estia's head was stroked, she uttered her usual phrase.
"This child... doesn't need special emphasis."
Neytissa had tried to correct Estia's habit, but ultimately failed.
Ever since Esther learned the word "happiness," she has been talking about it every day. Neytisa is puzzled as to why she keeps saying it, as if she was unhappy in her past life.
"Also, Mom, that emperor of the empire is so annoying."
Even though it was Estia's first time meeting the Emperor, she couldn't help but want to punch him, and even kill him...
She had no enmity with the emperor, but she couldn't control these thoughts.
Section 266, Chapter 251: Seeds of Hope
Dragons are a mysterious and powerful race. It is certain that 99% of the people in the entire human empire have never seen a dragon in person, but this does not diminish their fear of such creatures.
Neytisa and her daughter Estia's public visit to the Imperial City caused a great stir.
The Imperial City Guard had no choice but to send soldiers to maintain order, and countless people flocked from all over the country just to catch a glimpse of the dragons.
They discovered that dragons in human form were not significantly different from humans and conformed to human aesthetics. This silver dragon mother and daughter were like shining stars, attracting attention wherever they went.
Estia is a princess of the dragon race, and dragon princesses are no different from human princesses; they all grow up under extreme care. Estia is indifferent to this feeling of being the center of attention; she has long been used to such gazes.
For her, visiting the Dragon City for the first time, everything seemed so new and exciting. She looked at this and touched that, her eyes sparkling.
Neytisa adopted a laissez-faire approach, meaning that while ensuring Esther didn't cause trouble, she let Esther do whatever she wanted.
Her daughter was very obedient and there was no need to worry about her causing any trouble. Moreover, Neytissa didn't like to keep her daughter by her side; her daughter should be free and should do whatever she wanted.
She couldn't help but feel happy about today's agreement. Although the dragons were not afraid of war, the fact that a war could have happened was an achievement in itself.
The continent of Faya remains peaceful today. Although racial conflicts occur frequently in various places, it is believed that with the cooperation between the human empire and the dragon kingdom, these conflicts will be greatly reduced in the future.
Since Neytisa took over the kingdom's rule, she has completely changed the diplomatic strategy, from "intimidating other races through strength" to "maintaining peace in various regions through strength."
After all, as long as life is stable and resources are plentiful, no one would be foolish enough to start a war.
The path of peace is well-suited to the continent of Faya. Neytisa believes that if all races unite and reduce unnecessary internal strife, the development of magic and mechanical technology will advance in tandem, ultimately leading to a brighter future.
At this moment, Esther was curiously observing a couple in the bushes not far away. She noticed that their lips were touching and their faces were flushed, as if they were doing something interesting.
The happiness on her cheeks was undeniable, but Esther didn't understand why their lips touching would bring them happiness.
The couple was completely unaware of Esther, who was a kilometer away from them. Who would have thought that a little dragon girl with excellent eyesight was looking this way from a kilometer away?
Young Estella was in the process of forming her ideas, and she would seek answers from her mother for anything she didn't understand.
But her mother was talking to a shop assistant on the street, so Esther decided not to bother her and instead ran over to ask the couple what they were doing.
As a visitor from the Dragon Kingdom, Esther's every move attracted the attention of countless people. So she cleverly slipped into a small alley and moved through it, eventually shaking off all those who were following her.
The little silver dragon girl swayed her tail; it was time to go find the couple from before.
"I've finally found you..."
A voice drifted faintly from the depths of the dark alley.
Who's in there?
Estya immediately became vigilant. Her mother had always warned her that she was too young and not strong enough to protect herself, so she should try to avoid contact with dangerous things.
"Estella... come here quickly..."
The voice from deep within the alley sounded very weak, and Estia, always a curious dragon, decided to go in and see what was going on.
"Ah...that's great, I'm so lucky..."
The silver-haired little girl collapsed to the ground, her back against the wall, her body in a state of extreme weakness, but her specific condition puzzled Esther.
She discovered that the little girl had a pair of wings on her back, but the wings were made of metal.
"who are you?"
Since the other person was about the same age as her, and even had the same hair color, Esther's liking for him immediately increased, and she was also less wary.
"My time is running out..."
Ling's body has reached its limit. At this moment, she only has 1% of her energy left, which means that her body could lose its functions at any time.
"Estella, do you still recognize me?"
"who are you?"
The little silver dragon girl asked again.
She was certain that this was the first time she had seen Ling, because Ling looked like a human. As a princess of the dragon race, Esther had not seen a human in person until she came to the imperial capital to sign the agreement.
Therefore, she had absolutely never seen Ling before.
“Then let me introduce myself. My name is Ling, and I…” Ling suddenly realized something and got to the point: “I was careless. I couldn’t stop Feng Qing, but fortunately, the Faya world was not completely destroyed. We still have a chance before the barrier of this world disappears.”
What are you saying?
Estia couldn't understand these words at all.
"Hehe... After all, you're too young now. You still need to grow up..."
Ling closed her eyes, and a white sphere suddenly floated out of her body. Facing Estia, she shed tears for the first time: "I'm not sure if I will disappear, but Estia, I once promised to give you the chance to become a demigod, but now I don't need you to complete the mission anymore."
A white ball, no bigger than a fist, suddenly flew towards Esther's body. Its speed was so great that Esther had no time to react, and it entered her body directly.
"You, you, you! What did you put inside my body?!"
Estia was terrified. Her mother had repeatedly warned her not to go near anything dangerous, and to her, that strange ball of light was the dangerous thing.
Therefore, without any hesitation, she turned around and ran out of the alley. She didn't care what the two humans she had seen earlier were doing. All she wanted now was to return to her mother's side. She was afraid that the strange ball of light would have an effect on her body.
Watching Estia's figure disappear from sight, Ling finally couldn't hold on any longer, but a smile appeared on her lips: "Estia, in this new life, you are very happy, being pampered and growing up. Compared to the lonely you of the past, you have lost your resilience and courage, but... there is still room for growth in the future."
Her mission is over; the future of this world rests entirely on…
Chapter 267, Page 252: The Leisurely Life of the Silver Dragon Princess
Time flies, and twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. The little girl from the Silver Dragon Clan has finally grown into a graceful young woman.
Dragons have a much longer adolescence than other races. Therefore, if a dragon and a human were to be childhood playmates, the dragon would still be in adolescence when the human becomes an old man with gray hair.
However, her youthful appearance did not mean she was naive. Ten years ago, Esther began her studies. In addition to learning general knowledge, her mother, Neytisa, also arranged magic and sword lessons for her.
For a long time, Estia did not understand the significance of dragons learning swordsmanship. Neytisa's mother told her that the strongest form of a dragon is not its original form.
As a princess of the dragon race, Esther's talent was far superior to that of other dragons. She was quite confident in her strength, believing that no one of her age could defeat her.
On a sunny morning, Estia sat at the entrance of the palace hall as usual, reading a thick book titled "Magical Structures from Beginner to Expert".
In reality, this book was simply a tool that Esther used to deal with inspections; she didn't even realize she was holding it upside down.
Tucked inside this thick book is actually an even smaller book, which is certainly not a serious book, but an adventure novel written by a very talented author.
After entering puberty, Esther fully understood the meaning of love, and she would find it very funny whenever she thought of her childhood experiences in the imperial capital.
Kissing is something lovers do, and even dragons are no exception. Estia has seen many dragons kissing in human form. As for why they don't kiss in their true form? Because even the dragons themselves think the scene is too beautiful to bear.
As it turns out, Neytisa's mother was right. When Estia first learned to transform, she resisted becoming human, but now she just says "it's so good!" Human form has a small size and flexible hands, allowing her to do many delicate things.
Life in the Dragon Kingdom is boring. Many of Esther's friends have already embarked on journeys to gain experience, but according to the rules of the Dragon Kingdom, she is still two years away from the age when she can go out to gain experience.
Two years, two years. For dragons, two years will pass in the blink of an eye, but for Estia, who has been eagerly anticipating an adventure, it feels like an eternity.
She had set a plan for herself early on: to find love.
As a dragon in her adolescence, how could Esther not yearn for love? She longs for a partner with whom she can entrust her soul, and she would surely be even happier then.
However, Estia was indifferent to the dragons of her own age within her clan. Firstly, her status as a dragon princess directly deterred some commoner dragons who knew they were not worthy of her. Secondly, although many dragons from wealthy or powerful families expressed their affection, Estia remained uninterested.
Her reason for this was that she was too young to consider such things.
In reality, she once forced herself to like a dragon who was "well-regarded" by everyone, but she ultimately failed; she just couldn't muster any interest.
If fate truly exists in this world, then she believes that the partner she is waiting for has not yet appeared.
Feeling utterly bored, Estia closed her book and prepared to find a big tree to take a nice afternoon nap in its shade.
She always dreams when she sleeps, something she's long been used to. Her dreams are varied, featuring many unfamiliar people, different scenes, and incomprehensible terms.
As a result, Estia strongly suspected that she was cursed, and that the one who cursed her was the strange guy she had met in the alley of the human empire's capital city years ago.
After all, her vivid dreams started after she returned from the human empire, and that strange man even shot a ball of light into her body...
Estya told her mother about this, which frightened her so much that her mother had her undergo many tests, but ultimately found nothing abnormal in her body.
Ultimately, we can only continue to observe.
It was a hot midday, and even dragons didn't like to sunbathe outside. Estia found some shade, lay down, and slowly closed her eyes with a blade of grass in her mouth.
The person who appeared most often in her dreams was a human girl with an ordinary appearance (in her eyes). She knew that the girl's name was Ye Qingxian, which was pronounced in a very strange way, and she must have been a weirdo.
This human girl named Ye Qingxian often appears in many places in her dreams, but the meaning is unclear, because Esther's dreams are fragmented, and she has never had a complete and logically reasonable dream.
Who exactly is this Ye Qingxian? Such a bizarre naming style; no other region in the entire Faya continent has people named like this.
A few minutes later, Esther had fallen asleep. For her, sleeping was as common as eating. Her life as a dragon princess was quite leisurely. Because of her outstanding talent, she was able to finish the homework assigned by her magic teacher and swordsmanship teacher ahead of schedule every day, and she spent the rest of her time playing.
In addition, she gets a day off every three days, and today happens to be a day off, which is why she was taking a nap under the tree at noon.
Even during the day, she was still trapped in strange dreams. She longed to have pleasant dreams, such as dreams of adventure, but unfortunately, she could not control the content of her dreams.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Esther suddenly shuddered and sat up abruptly, only to find that the sky was now dotted with stars.
How could this be? I've never slept through the night during my afternoon nap, and besides, Neytissa or anyone else who takes care of me should wake me up.
Estia looked at the two moons in the sky, two celestial bodies orbiting this world. One was red, emitting a red light, and was called the Red Moon. The other was dim, emitting only a faint black glow, and was called the Dark Moon.
Amazingly, the light from the red moon and the dark moon merged together, transforming into a softer white moonlight that illuminated the mountains and rivers of the Faya continent.
