Chapter 315: 315: Not Next Time But This Time

Lyon looked below the balcony as he drank his tea. The nobles and their soldiers were sweeping the area just like what they were told by the emperor. Unlike the soldiers or the knights from the human side, they preferred to use robes or partial armor because each of their figures was different in shape according to their races. Giants, dwarves, elves, and everything else. 

Lyon smirked before he raised his eyebrows and turned around. "Err, there is something important that I forgot to ask you about."

He scratched the back of his head with his hand before letting out a wry smile. The lady dragon looked at him before she sat down and pour some of the tea from inside the teapot into her special teacup. She saw the steam from the teacup went up before she made a quick whiff on it. She put her gentle lips on it before she drank it with grace.

"Ask away."

"First of all, promise me you won't get mad or my location would be discovered by your asshole of a father that has a very sharp nose sensitivity only second to dogs," said Lyon as he put his palms together against one another.

*cough

The lady dragon splurted out some of the tea inside her mouth to the floor. It was sure an act that no woman with the title of a princess would do, but instead of getting mad, she was laughing. 

"You know he would be dead standing and puke blood if you said that, haha."

"But if he is dead, he couldn't puke blood, could he?"

She chuckled as she looked at her with a happy squint of her eyes. The very eyes that brought anyone fear and shackled their soul. The menacing silvery pupils and jaded irises could penetrate their death. However, the man in front of him didn't even flinch in the slightest. In fact, it was the very opposite. He thought that those were beautiful.

"He might haha, he might, his pride is bigger than his empire after all!"

Lyon chuckled as he looked at her before forming a smile on his face.

"Before you asked your question, let me ask you first," asked the lady dragon.

Lyon turned curious before he put both of his arms on the balcony ledge as he looked at him with a smile.

"Ask away, I got all-time in the world."

"You mean about four days?"

He shook his head, "In four days we won't be in this world, we would be traveling, also... there is this competition that I needed to attend as a prize for winning the competition before that. Can you believe it?! What kind of prize is that?!"

The dragon lady chuckled, "Just from those words alone I can already tell the fun behind it."

"You bet, there is a lot of beautiful women out there waiting to fall in love with me."

"You pervert."

"Always am," said Lyon with a proud tone as he grinned.

Both of them looked down as they chuckled. Though the atmosphere outside was quite chaotic and order was in place. In this part of the empire, the room where the lady dragon spent most of her childhood, there was nothing of sort. Only springs, and sometimes, they do come early.

"What do you want to ask?" asked Lyon.

She took a deep breath before she said, "What is that ring that is in your hands? That silvery ring."

Lyon gulped down (Wow woman you start with the heavy stuff right off the bat huh, is this woman's instinct?! Ferocious) as he smiled.

"Are you sure you are not going to ask my favorite food?" teased Lyon.

The lady dragon shook her head, "No need for that, I already know."

"What? Oh wow, now I'm the one that is curious."

Lyon shrugged his shoulders with a smile before he looked at the ring with a touch of melancholy in his glance.

"This ring... without this ring... you would probably wait a lot longer than you should have."

"Hoo~ looks like an interesting story, tell me more."

Lyon stretched his smile even wider as he remembered how he first came into this wild universe or multi-worlds system, whatever you call it. He was having a shower before one thing led to another. Meeting a beautiful queen that acted and talked like a brat when she was alone. Fei, the maid-in-charge, responsible for the queen's safety and the prosperity of the kingdom. She was the one doing that hard work both behind and in front of the scene. A professional through and through.

"Then space cracked," said Lyon as if he was telling a little girl.

"All eyes can see was apocalypse! The world is crying as it trembled. However, not to me. I felt nothing... before she came along."

The dragon lady furrowed her eyebrows with a smile, "S-she?"

"Yeah, she," Lyon smiled as he turned around and looked at the blue bright sky.

"She descended from one of the crack of space, a beautiful grace. I was amazed. I was stunned but she held my face. Our lips embraced, my heart raced, I would never forget the taste. I was.. crazed."

The dragon lady stood in awe at the poetic-like way he described his encounter with a woman.

"Uh... something with.... a.... mace...? Heh."

The dragon lady immediately squinted her eyes in disappointment as he looked at Lyon's sweat were forming from his forehead.

"You've run out of words, haven't you?"

"N-n-no I don't,"

"Sure you don't,"

The two of them chuckled.

"Your shamelessness knows no bounds."

"Well excuse me lady! Everyone over there saw my butt and possibly my penis. Which... for that matter... you saw it too."

The dragon lady was lost for words, no, more like the words stuck in her throat. She wanted to refuse but somehow when he was talking about that subject, a certain part of her muscle tensed and made her stutter.

"N-n."

"The answer is yes! Stop denying it," said Lyon with a chuckle.

"No! The answer is no, I didn't see it, yes.. maybe just a glance and not a clear one so it doesn't count."

"Well do you want to see the clear version?" said Lyon with his eyes full of hopes and dreams.

"No! What? I can't believe.. buhahahaha! Your shamelessness must have gone up to levels beyond what your cultivation might use to be hahaha!"

Under her bursting laugh, Lyon smiled as he crossed his arms. His body leaned back to the balcony ledge as his head was slightly tilted down. He was glad that she get rid of that princess attitude that she wanted to get rid of in the first place, naturally.

After tearing up with laughter she coincidentally took a glance at the standing mirror that was placed by the side of her bedroom. She stood up before she looked at herself in the reflection. Unlike the sorrow she had always felt, it was the first time in a long time that she saw her own smile.

(That's the smile worth fighting an empire of demi-humans for, and then some) thought Lyon.

The lady dragon turned around before she put her hands behind her back. She lightly tiptoed forward toward the balcony. The wind suddenly felt like making a gush as both of their hairs fluttered against it. Her ponytail once again came undone before she tucked one side of her hair behind her ear.

Though the town was screaming and cowering in fear. She heard nothing but the gentle nature as her gaze was only for him.

*tap *tap

She bends down right under her face as her back arched. She looked up with her beautiful eyes staring at his deep-galaxy ones. 

(Next time... Next time... Next time... This time... I will say...) her thoughts echoed in her heart.

"I love you."

Lyon opened his eyes wide before the latter opened her arms and embraced him. She locked her hands behind his neck before closing her eyes and connected with each other through the lips.

*bzzt

*thump

Lyon opened his eyes wide as his head was ringing with thunder. Every beat of his heartfelt like his soul about to jump before the view of his world changed. A partially lost memory resurfaced. 

"Wow, you really have beautiful eyes there!"

"What? Really? Do you mean it??"

"Yup yup, like a slash of a sword that cuts through jade."

"W-well is that a good thing?"

"Of course it is."

The young man shook his head before he noticed a little fang on her teeth before he pointed it out, "Are you a dragon??"

The girl took a step back as she looked at the young man, "Y-you're not scared are you?"

"Scared? For what... but you're quite a weird dragon though, where are your whiskers?"

"Hey! I'm a dragon, not a cat! Hmph!" said the girl before she leaped and spread her undeveloped wings.

The young man looked at the wings with awe before Lyon blinked and he was back at the present.

"Sister... I knew it," said Julian who was standing at the door.
