Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

……

Altria and the young dragon haven't seen each other for more than two months.

Although these two months is not a long time for a young dragon...but since the young dragon was born, this is indeed the first time he has been separated from Artoria for such a long time.

The longer we are apart, the happier we will be when we meet again.

"Hey, it's not raining here? Did you do that?"

"Bravo!"

The young dragon emphasized to Artoria how he flew into the sky and used his own power to disperse the dark clouds.

Upon hearing this, Artoria first opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then a thoughtful look appeared on her pretty face.

“So you can do this!”

Obviously, she must have had some evil thoughts.

As the Dragon King with the "wind" attribute, she certainly couldn't use light to directly disperse the dark clouds like the white dragon did - but using wind to blow the dark clouds away didn't seem to be too difficult, right?

"What about this girl? What's the matter with her?"

Of course, Altria also noticed Vina's presence.

Actually, Vina was actually older than her. But for some reason, when Artoria faced her, she always felt like she was the elder.

"She... well, she led a group of people to eat my fish, and then she stayed here and refused to leave."

When the girl was mentioned, the young dragon who had been very happy just now suddenly became indifferent.

He introduced the girl's background in a vague manner, and almost made no secret of his disgust for this girl who had clearly gained benefits but still refused to leave.

Altria was a little surprised.

"The blood of a real dragon can actually have this effect?"

"So what's the situation with this girl now? Is she still human? What are her plans?"

Looking at the bewildered girl in front of him.

To be honest, Altria was also very nervous.

She suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time the young dragon had come into contact with humans - but those humans left a very bad impression on the young dragon.

This is definitely not a good thing.

As the destined King of Britain, she didn't expect the young dragon to love humans as much as she did. But at the very least, she shouldn't stoop to the level of hostility towards humans, right?

"Well, we need to try to get him in touch with humans to change his hostile mood."

"This little girl seems pretty good?"

Thinking of this, he looked at the girl standing aside, with her head down, trying hard to remain invisible.

Artoria realized again - this seemed to be a good opportunity?

Chapter 13 The Dragon's Proper Posture

Artoria wants to reconcile the relationship between the dragons and humans.

But before that, there was one thing she had to figure out.

"Why do you hate humans so much?"

"Is it because they caught the fish you raised?"

Artoria first glanced at the girl standing in the corner, then pulled the young dragon's wings and asked "secretly".

She has a very delicate control of the volume - just at a level that is "not too loud, but can be heard by the girl behind me."

She was trying to make both parties understand each other's conflict so as to prepare for the next step of "resolving the conflict."

Facts have proved that this young Red Dragon King has a high emotional intelligence. Although his words and deeds are not flawless, they can be said to be quite thorough - at the very least, he has definitely not reached the level of "not understanding human nature".

Shirataki glanced at Altria.

He knew very well what this fool was planning, but he had no choice but to accept her "active reconciliation".

"Humph--"

"Well, I wasn't going to tell you... but if it's you, then there's nothing I can do."

The young dragon howled, but both Artoria, who was standing beside it, and Vina, who was standing behind them, had already established a connection with the dragon and could understand this ancient and mysterious language.

"I never said I hated humans."

“I just don’t feel anything for them.”

Bai Long snorted coldly and expressed his true thoughts.

Although he was once human, he is now a real dragon - although he is a young dragon, he has already established the worldview that a dragon should have.

He now looked at humans much like humans looked at the packs of stray dogs in the village. He definitely didn't dislike them, and occasionally, he might even be kind enough to feed them some leftovers or sausages.

This is also the reason why Shirataki would take the initiative to rescue those who are dying.

As a human being, when you are about to go out and find a group of stray dogs lying dying at your doorstep, it is impossible not to rescue them, right?

As for being angry because she ate his fish... that was nonsense. Those fish were actually the "midnight snack" he prepared for Altria. If anyone was angry, it should be Altria.

"Ah? You're not angry? You don't hate humans?"

"Then why do you treat her like this?"

"I heard her say that she prayed in the temple for seven days, but you never came out to see her."

Altria blinked, confusion written all over her pretty face.

——But she never expected that when faced with this question, the young dragon would give such an answer:

"I don't hate humans."

"I just hate her."

Shirataki answered as a matter of course.

The undisguised disgust revealed in his words made the girl who was eavesdropping nearby shudder uncontrollably.

It also caused the expression on Altria's face to change from doubt to confusion.

"what???"

……

Shirataki hated this girl.

He hated this girl whom he had rescued with his own hands, who was grateful to him and prayed to him devoutly every day.

Is this hard to understand?

No, it's not actually that hard to understand—it just requires a slight shift in perspective.

Don’t look at this matter from the perspective of a “human”, but from the perspective of a “dragon”.

"You've been spending too much time with those humans."

"We have forgotten the attitude we should have."

The young dragon flapped its wings and began to circle in the sky.

He told Artoria that only gods needed the prayers of believers, and only humans would place their illusory hopes on false gods.

"We are not gods."

"We are dragons."

"She is Dragonborn."

Prayer - in the eyes of dragons, this word is almost synonymous with "cowardice".

Will your enemies show mercy to you because of your prayers?

Will the prey turn into pieces of meat because of your prayers?

No, it's impossible, there is no such thing in the world.

Even if you are a dragon, it is impossible for you to "glare at the enemy and make them immediately surrender and become a fish at the mercy of others."

Even a rabbit, when faced with a life-and-death crisis, will use techniques like "rabbit kicking eagle" to fight for its life!

All power and authority must be tested by blood and fire. The so-called throne of kingship can only be forged from a sea of ​​bones—this was a truth the young dragon understood in its first battle, yet Artoria still hasn't grasped it.

"It's all that magician's fault."

"He taught her so well."

First, a monster is created using forbidden magic, then this monster is forced into a human body, and finally the monster disguised as a human is put in the shackles of [Chivalry].

"Look, what a perfect king!"

——A magician who has made a grave mistake without realizing it, possesses a pair of clairvoyance that is worse than being blind.

……

The young dragon circled in the sky.

Artoria raised her head and looked up at the young dragon flying freely, as if thinking about something.

Vina, who was standing not far away, lowered her head, said nothing, and was also thinking about her own things.

The empty valley suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

But this strange silence did not last long.

"Right, right here."

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps and expectant voices outside the narrow mountain road.

Vina suddenly raised her head and looked at the rock peak that could only accommodate one person with an unbelievable and panicked look - her eyes were full of pleading.

"Don't come over here, don't come over here, don't come over here..."

She prayed loudly in her heart, hoping that the tribesmen could hear her call.

But, of course, she didn't master the "voice transmission magic", so how could she convey the voice in her heart to her people?

"And this is why I hate her."

"He clearly knew what the outcome would be, yet he did nothing. He simply stood there praying, placing all his hopes on that so-called god."

The young dragon flew down from mid-air, landed on Altria's shoulder, and used its claws to pull out the long sword that she had been carrying on her back.

"Danglang——"

It wasn't just the sound of a sword falling to the ground.

It is the sound of a girl's heart breaking.

"You have two choices now."

"The first option is to pick up this sword and kill every human you see to prove your loyalty. I will accept you and make you my subordinate."

"Secondly, you can pick up this sword and attack me to prove your bravery. I will recognize you and grant you a glorious death."

"But no matter what, you can't just stand there and do nothing."

Chapter 14: The King and His Ministers

The sword stuck in the ground.

The girl named Vina looked pale.
