Chapter 288: Going Home, Finding the Maid, and Getting Some Food
Actually, it wasn’t just Lucy who was almost scared to death. The other girls on Yulin were also nearly scared to death.
“Uwah…”
“I… I really actually rode a dragon…”
Lumia and Melika were rather dizzy up where they were on the dragon’s back. It’s unknown if their brains simply haven’t caught up or if it’s because they were overexcited, but they both looked completely dazed.
“Yeah. We really did ride a dragon, and it’s that famous black dragon of Ataru at that.”
Vivian helped Melika keep upright as she spoke reminiscently.
Diere was silently holding Lumia up, but she was also staring at Shien with an emotion that no one else understood.
As for Airi, she was instead the calmest person there. After Yulin landed, she immediately jumped off, completely nonplussed.
“Eh?
Lucy, who was about to charge up to Shien to demand answers, stopped for a moment at the sight.
Where did this little girl come from?
Also, why did she come out of the canyon with Shien and the others?
Plus, why did she feel like she can’t relax her guard when looking at the girl?
“A cute little girl holding a pillow?”
Lucy thought it over a bit. She keeps feeling like there’s something familiar about that, like she heard someone mention someone like that before.
Lucy’s descent into thought made the female knights behind her somewhat misunderstand.
“Please step back, your highness.”
“Please be careful.”
“That’s the black dragon of Ataru after all.”
The female knights were under the impression that Lucy didn’t dare to approach Yulin, so they spoke such things guardedly. At the same time, they looked toward Shien and the others who got off the dragon with shock still remaining.
Those people actually came out of the canyon riding the black dragon of Ataru. Could one of them have tamed this high leveled black dragon?
That’s a dragon after all!
The creature known as the king of demonic beasts!
Every single dragon bears extremely strong pride, so they’re basically untamable. Even the master tamer of the Kingdom could only tame wyverns, not true dragons, never mind a powerful dragon at over level 90.
This is a dragon who had dominated the Ataru Canyons for 400 whole years. A dragon that the Kingdom had given up on subjugating. Yet, now it may have been tamed. How could anyone not be shocked at such news?
Just who managed to do such a thing?
Who could possibly have such abilities?
The female knights were both shock and uncomprehending.
As the person in question, Shien simply jumped off from Yulin’s head and landed on the ground without any concerns.
“Growl!”
Yulin let out a growl, giving an obedient impression from the tone.
“Good girl.”
Shien extended his hand, petted Yulin’s lowered head, and used the [Taming] skill to bring out magic power and slowly directed it into Yulin’s body through the hand he was using to pet her.
Yulin’s eyes squinted in comfort.
And seeing that scene, all the female knights’ hearts shook.
So it’s him!
He’s the one who tamed the black dragon of Ataru!
All the knights directed their shocked gaze to Shien.
Even Lucy also finally came back to herself.
“You… You tamed this black dragon?”
Lucy let out a shocked and confused voice at the sight.
“Well? Amazing, right?”
Shien raised his eyebrows like he was showing off to Lucy.
“This isn’t a question of being amazing or not here!?” Lucy spoke in somewhat of a daze, “You have the [Taming] skill? What level is it? How was it able to even tame the black dragon of Ataru? Just what did you…”
“Stop, stop, stop! Where did so many questions come from?” Shien hurriedly stopped her and spoke grumpily at the flabbergasted Lucy, “Calm down a bit princess. The reality is already so, so you should first confirm and accept the reality. You can talk about the rest after that, alright?”
Hearing this, Vivian and the others showed a resigned expression from the side.
It’s because Shien had already said those words once, back when they also ended up flabbergasted upon seeing Yulin.
To think that not even the princess could be spared from getting lectured like that by that guy..
Lucy also realized this, so she sneakily gave Shien a glare before speaking up in an unfriendly tone.
