The Dragon clanâs home of the human world lies in the Northern part of the great ocean where a huge mountain was submerged underwater and shielded by a spell matrix from the water. Itâs not that the dragons as a race feared water, theyâre perfected capable of living in the ocean; however, there are inconveniences thatâs unavoidable in that case. As such, most members of the clan preferred to stay on dry land while resting.
Right now at this time within a dark damp cave, a very lovely and delicate looking young missy was currently being tied to a pillar, her cute big eyes showing stubbornness and anger against the taunting woman in front of herself.
âLittle missy, I mean you no malice, but my familyâs old man misses his granddaughter dearly. It was not easy to find her, and because of you sheâs now goneâ¦. You must take responsibility for that.â
Hanging her head in defiance, Dragony tightens her hands until itâs a ball: âWhy are you tying me up then if you mean no ill will? Moreover, those people you sent are clearly coming with malice. I will not believe in your words. Also, you better release me, otherwise the queen wonât let you off when she finds me.â
Snickering at the threat, the woman hooks her finger around the missyâs chin to raise her face up: âQueen? You mean one of those queens from the mainland? A measly human queen canât even be compared to a little sect from the human world, why would I fear such an entity? Little missy, you need to stop being so na?ve.â
Among the demon race here in the human world, none would call themselves as king or queen, mainly out of tradition passed on from ages past.
Taken aback by the retort: âBut both the queen and prince are very strong, they will definitely come and save me.â
Prince?
The womanâs grin grew even deeper,?I knew it, sheâs talking about some human.
To be fair, this wasnât because the woman had an ignorant mindset, rather itâs the fact that the Demon Realm has been sealed for thousands of years. Considering her appearance, this lady was at best a few centuries old.
âLittle missy, I donât want to hurt you, but if you continue to be disobedient then I will have no choice but to kill you. Afterwards I will go find Long Dai Dai myself.â Taking out a dagger from her waist, the woman cracks a dangerous smirk as she grazed the surface of the girlâs neck.
Startled by this, Dragony herself was starting to fall into a panic. Sheâs not afraid of death, but if she dies⦠it would mean this evil woman would start looking for Long Dai Dai again with even more force than the first time.
After some thought, she bites her lip and spoke: âWhat do you want me to do?â
âVery simple, my old man has been yearning about his baby granddaughter for a long time now. Thankfully heâs never seen that blasted girl yet. So, I want you to impersonate her. As for the ceremony to test your lineage, I will have my own means to pass that.â
Beaming a dangerous light in those pupils, a strong regret takes hold within this oneâs heart of not strangling her own niece at birth. Make no mistake, this evil woman was by every standard a dark one. She forged the babyâs death in the publicâs eye and went through the trouble of tossing a helpless baby into the mountain range where many dangerous critters lived. What she didnât expect though was Long Dai Dai surviving and even managed to get the attention of her old man, hence the reason why this filthy woman volunteered for the mission of retrieving Long Dai Dai. She intends to use this opportunity to finish off the mistake she left behind years ago.
Yetâ¦. the hurdles and troubles just didnât stop. Because of Dragonyâs sudden appearance, the target was lost and now this evil woman was left with an unknown girl that came out of nowhere. Of course, this wasnât all bad. It didnât matter who it was that she brought back, she just needed someone that she could control.
âAnd if I help you, does that mean you will leave Dai Dai alone?â Dragony asks with a hint of doubt.
âThatâs right,â the woman smiles, âI, Longyu, will never go back on my words. If you do as I demand and pretend to be Dai Dai then I wonât force that lass back into dragon clan.â
