On that day, Jiltry was bursting with excitement.
How could it not?
Up above the man and two girls walking down the street while holding hands, the black dragon acted like the most loyal bodyguard. It flew by slowly flapping its wings while at the same time shadowing the three people on the ground. The appearance of it was more amazing than any other noble or even royal procession, so it instantly maxed out the awe meter.
The citizenry seemed to have already gotten the news from the knight, so although none dared to get close to the street that Shien’s group was going down, they did instead pop their heads out from the various buildings and side streets to look at the three of them. Although they were fearful, they were also excited at the same time.
“Is that how nobles from the Capital are?”
“That’s amazing… Way too amazing…!”
“He really does have a dragon as a mount…!”
“Are all nobles from the Capital this amazing?”
The citizenry quietly gossiped among each other to that effect as they looked up at Shien, who was holding the hands of Airi and Leisha, with awe.
At this moment, in those people’s eyes, Shien was unquestionably a person of vast greatness.
There were even many young ladies with good beauty and fairly decent status who came to observe while accompanied by guards. They looked at Shien with heated gazes, which made it all the more hard for others to accept this.
Even putting aside the fact that he was able to become a noble at such a young age and the fact that he has a true dragon as a mount, even the captain of the Second Knight Order who governed Jiltry had treated him so respectfully. Thus, wouldn’t such a man make simply the best spouse possible?
Add in the fact that he came from the Capital, meaning that he was able to establish a place for himself in the Capital, it meant that he was definitely a noble among nobles, so it’s only natural that those noble young ladies all fell for him.
This fact made Shien reminisce over it.
“It looks like there are advantages to being a noble after all.”
At the very yeast, it’s very much enough of a reputation booster. The treatment from others it invites is also pretty good, it’s basically the treatment of a winner.
Of course, the two beauties, one big and one small, next to Shien also got similar treatment.
“Look at that maid, quickly…”
“So beautiful…”
“How can there be such a beautiful maid?”
“If my family had such a beautiful maid, then how could I possibly bear to marry some baron’s daughter?”
“My family is the same. If they had even half her figure and looks, then I would have already gone up to them to propose marriage rather than waiting around for them to come force me to marry them.”
“A noble should have such a a beautiful maid if they want to actually show of.”
“Right?”
“That little girl is also really pretty as well.”
“She’s way too pretty.”
“If only my daughter was so adorable.”
“R-rather than that, I kind of want to adopt her as my daughter.”
“Yeah…”
“I really want that…”
Conversations like that continued to come. Many nobles and already married men all gathered together. They were practically drooling as they stared at the two beauties next to Shien.
Unfortunately for them, while Lasha can be put aside, Airi’s mood on the other hand was sinking with every moment.
“Daughter?”
Airi’s had a frosty look on her little face.
Again with the little sister and daughter talk. Just what is with thing now?
I’m the great Dragon Demon here! Am I really someone that can be taken as a little sister or daughter?
If you people wanted to consider me a big sister or mother, then I could at least reluctantly consider it complement. If I’m in a good mood, then maybe I might even act without thinking and allow you all a chance to forge some connections, yet you want to treat me as a little sister or daughter?
Do you only fear the dragon overhead and not me, the dragon king then?
Want to see me show a transformation here and now and scare you to deathh?
At that moment, all of you will beg to be my little brothers!
Airi was in a very bad mod, and she even started to dislike this city.
Thus, Airi begun making the following requests to Shien.
“You really want to rest here for the night? Why can’t we just head onward?”
Airi practically had the words “I don’t want to stay here” printed on her face.
Unfortunately for her, Shien wasn’t budging at all.
Well, alright. Not even Air really wanted to try to travel overnight.
As a sleep addicted dragon king, there’s no way that she can go the night without sleeping. That wasn’t something that can happen in her entire life.
It needs to be pointed out that, in the past, Airi had more than a few times slept 10-20 years every time she laid down for a nap. During this period of time by Shien’s side, she had basically been awake every single day. Although it’s not to the point of actual discomfort, she would still end up feeling sleepy all the time, so she really wanted to just lie down and sleep away the ages.
But if she really were to do that, then the next time she woke u, Shien may already be dead and buried.
Thus, Airi really didn’t dare to take such a deep slumber. She just had to maintain a daily routine of going to sleep early and getting up late, but that was already difficult enough for her.
