*************************************************** ***************************************
Listening to Aikarai's serious tone, unlike his usual jokes on us, the evil dragon Reina and I stopped the scuffle at the same time, looked at each other, and then looked at Aikarai.
What's going on with Miss Bailong? She's so good, why do you suddenly act like she's forcing you to get married?
Regarding the issue of marriage, the Evil Dragon Lena and I have naturally discussed it. Because the discussion was under a relatively special situation, it is not convenient to describe it in detail... Ahem, in short, the two of us had a lively exchange between you and me, explaining things in simple terms. Basically, some consensus has been reached.
Marriage must be done, and getting pregnant before marriage has become a fact, but even for the sake of the child, you can't be an unmarried man, right?
The problem is that the gestation period of the dragon lasts for hundreds of years. Things have already happened, so there is no rush. As the war approaches, there are still many things to do. It is not too late to think about it later when you have some time. This is roughly what it means. .
Now, Aikalay is even more anxious than us. I have reason to wonder if she has any bold and new ideas about dowry?
When I thought about it, I immediately felt a chill on my neck and wanted to get on the boat.
Don't worry, we still need to communicate carefully about this matter to let Aikalay understand our thoughts and plans.
So, after pondering for a moment, I recalled what Ariya said yesterday and asked a very crucial question that cannot be ignored.
"When talking about marriage, I have always had a question, and that is - is Reina an adult now?"
The two dragon girls fell into silence at the same time.
"If you are underage... getting married... is not a good idea, right?" I carefully looked at their faces to confirm whether I was stepping on something wrong.
"Your Excellency... isn't it too late for you to ask this kind of question? You are pregnant." Aikalay's answer was somewhat evasive, and even more pointed.
You are about to be punished. You have already been punished. You might as well just break the jar and smash it and you will be punished.
For some reason, I had an illusion that BGM suddenly sounded in reality. After several thunders, it was a familiar tune to me.
Tears behind bars.
"Okay." I am very wise and cannot continue to dwell on the heavy issue of whether to punish him or not, otherwise he will be punished even if he is not punished. Let's change the topic to a lighter topic.
"To digress, Aria is about to come of age, right? She invited me to attend her coming-of-age ceremony yesterday."
So here comes the question: "Actually, I have always been curious, who is older, Aelia or Rena?"
The atmosphere became silent again, even a little dead still.
"This... Well, you can't use the coming-of-age ceremony to determine your age, right? Just like you humans, even if you become adults, can your age be compared with ours?" Miss Bailong interspersed with me as if to save me. While explaining to Reina, she seemed to be still winking at me.
"So we are better in age. I am curious which one is older?" I felt that the topic was very relaxed and the atmosphere was pleasant, so I chose to break the casserole and ask the question.
"It's me, I want to be bigger." Unexpectedly, the little female dragon looked expressionless, but gave the answer straightforwardly.
"That's right." I nodded: "Then the second question is, how long will it take for your coming-of-age ceremony?"
"It's fast, but it's not completely fast for you. I'm afraid you won't be able to wait." The little female dragon's indifferent tone turned sinister.
Hahahahaha, are you kidding me? It’s true that your dragon is a longevity species, but I’m not bad either. The Immortal with Hairy Legs can live for a thousand years. I am now in a higher realm than him. If everything goes well, I can at least live for a thousand years. Two thousand years, right? Not to mention the coming-of-age ceremony, it’s just...
Even if you turn into a married woman, you can probably see it.
"Um... Aikarai, how long is the lifespan of a dragon like her?" I half-opened my mouth and whispered to the white dragon lady beside me to confirm that the lifespan of each kind of dragon is different. Hence the question.
"If your Excellency Wu Fan is really a human being, generally speaking, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be several times more powerful than you."
Miss Bailong's tone is very ambiguous. What does it mean if I am a human being? If I am not a human being, what kind of strange species can I be? Asian? magician? Real person? An expert? Newcomer? Superman?
What else does it mean to be more than several times? Ten times is also more than a hundred times. So how many times is it?
However, since she used such vague rhetoric, I also knew that I knew what was going on and could not go into details. Based on our relationship, Miss Bailong would explain everything to me in detail, and the rest were forbidden matters.
For example, why does the old father-in-law always idle around when he is clearly working? The Dragon King opens his mouth to the mouth of the cave when he is hungry. Does he like to drink the northwest wind so much?
"Then I probably won't be able to see you with gray hair."
I was a little bit sad and felt sorry for the little female dragon. These days, fashion dies first and wins first. If you kick your legs straight up, you can leave all the sadness and responsibility to the latter without taking away a single bit. It's simply Earn blood.
I feel sorry for this little female dragon. She is probably going to be widowed in middle age. Should I really divorce her? If she finds someone of the same kind, they can probably grow old together and stay together for the rest of their lives, right?
"It's not that easy if you want to die." The little female dragon crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly, raised her eyebrows like a proud little hen, and gave me a proud look.
It's really strange. She had clearly looked like a ruthless person who didn't talk much just now, and had the terrifying aura of an approaching storm. But now, she has regained her arrogance and the sun is shining brightly again.
Miss Bailong also pursed her lips and smiled, as if she had some inside story and little calculation that I didn't know.
I scratched my head. It felt a bit profound, so it was better not to go into it too deeply.
"In short, although Elijah is younger than you, her coming of age ceremony is earlier than yours. Doesn't this mean that her theoretical lifespan is not as good as yours?"
"That's right. I am a higher-level existence than the fish tail." The little female dragon's nose almost turned up to the sky. She was so proud, but then her expression changed and she was not happy again. Are you acting in Sichuan Opera? Bar?
"But theoretically speaking, the fish tail's coming-of-age ceremony shouldn't be that fast." She stared at me with a death stare. Even Miss Bailong's eyes looked a bit wrong, as if I had done something. An outrageous stupidity.
"So...so why is this?" I shrank my neck, my sixth sense telling me that I must give in now.
"So why is this? Think about it for yourself, you ask me who I am asking, you idiot!" The little female dragon snorted heavily and ended the topic.
Okay, why don't I ask Ariya?
"Then the last question." It should have ended here and left safely, but what should I say? I've come and opened my mouth. Is it really good not to quarrel?
"What Aikalay said just now, I'm very curious about, you dragon clan... can you get married if you are underage?"
The atmosphere has been quiet for countless times, and I'm used to it.
After a long time, Miss Bailong took a deep breath, and her tone was so gentle that she said, "You don't need to worry about the rules of our dragons. At this time, just treat it according to your human age."
No, no, no, that can't be done. According to our view of human age, if there is a hundred-year-old female dragon and a ten-thousand-year-old ghost, then wouldn't I become a senior diamond member of the Grandma Bar?
"I'm telling you... don't think that you can talk nonsense even if I don't sew your mouth shut, and you're getting more and more enthusiastic, right?" The evil dragon Leina, who turned from sunny to gloomy and then to gloomy again, finally set off the Facing the thunderstorm, she clenched her fists and raised her thin and wide nightgown up high without any wind.
Raised together with her skirt, were her delicate but powerful fists: "When did I agree to marry you? What are you talking about on your own, you bastard?! What's wrong with being a minor? I'm a minor eating you." Is there food for the family? I just love underage marriage, what’s going on, can you care?"
I was thinking blankly while avoiding the little female dragon's fist.
No, I don’t quite understand what you are saying. Do you want to get married or not?
Faced with the completely raging evil dragon Rena, I couldn't beat her, otherwise the back garden that Aikalay had carefully built for her sister would be gone. After I fidgeted for a while, I finally saw an opening and ran away.
Anyway, the purpose of this trip has been achieved, let’s go home and digest it slowly.
…
In an instant, the storm in the garden subsided. Aikalay and Leona sat opposite each other, sipping fragrant black tea and eating exquisite snacks, like a pair of exotic princesses having a tea party full of nobility and elegance. The previous commotion was over. Like a dream.
"Sister Aikarai, how can you say such things in front of that bastard Druid, making it seem like I can't get married."
The white dragon girl blinked in confusion: "But my princess, except for Mr. Wu Fan, you really can't get married now."
Choking on a mouthful of tea, Leona coughed repeatedly. Leona slapped the table and stood up. Just as she was about to retort, her lips wriggled again and again. As a result, her neck was red from holding it in, but she couldn't hold back a single word.
Although the words are unpleasant, it is the truth. When someone is not around, the noble Princess of the Dragon Clan is still a good girl with good qualities.
"Even so, why do you mention it at this time? I'm not prepared at all!"
"Because, probably, I think this may be the best opportunity. If you miss it, it will be difficult in the future."
Leona drank her tea in a muffled voice, blowing bubbles into it. The usual snacks no longer tasted sweet.
"You mean the stupid fat dragon might obstruct it?"
"It's not possible, it's inevitable." The white dragon girl said earnestly: "I have analyzed it with you before. Uncle Hardy has let the situation go to such an extent. To be honest, it makes me feel incredible. He secretly We don’t know what painstaking efforts or plans there are, but it may be related to this war, so I guess that the clearer the situation, the greater the possibility that he will obstruct it.”
"The bloodline of the golden dragon is not broken, why is he so anxious?" Leona touched her belly, and a tenderness that she could not detect flashed across her face.
"That's just Uncle Hardy's final bottom line. It's not just about the continuation of the bloodline. Unless a miracle happens, in any case, it's impossible for my uncle to let you get married to the human Lord Wu Fan."
“So why is now the best time?”
"Your Highness, there is a saying among humans: fishing in troubled waters, picking chestnuts from the fire, and winning from chaos."
"That's already two sentences." Leona felt that her clever sister Bailong might have been contaminated by some math idiot.
"Although the stupid fat dragon looks lazy, he is not stupid. You can't hide this kind of thing from him."
"It depends on how hidden we can be." Aikalay stared at her best friend, looking at her nonstop, and suddenly said: "Leona, do you yearn for that kind of grand wedding?"
"Hey, it's like Alto, Linya, Tia, Lucia, the grand kind?"
"Um?"
"It seems to be a bit troublesome, but it doesn't matter. I think it doesn't matter if it's grand or ordinary."
A pair of calves scraped the ground, crossing each other and kicking under the chair. Half of his face was buried in the teacup, blowing bubbles and speaking vague and shy words.
"I...I think it's fine as long as two people are together, having fun and having fun."
After that, he added a suicidal sentence: "And in the final analysis, whether it is grand or not and whether you like it or not are two different things. So isn't the idiot's favorite still Veras?"
Realizing that Aikalay had been looking at her, Leona raised the cup even more shyly, wishing that she could completely cover her face.
"Good child, Leona is such a good child." The white dragon girl couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently stroked the other person's head, her eyes full of tenderness and pity.
"How can you be satisfied so easily? You are the most noble princess in the world."
"Sister Aikarai, I am no longer a child." Her Royal Highness the Princess protested dissatisfied: "Besides, whether I am satisfied or not is my own business, not what others think. I just like it."
After saying that, Bulu Bulu became shy again.
"Then let's hold a plain wedding that Uncle Hardy can't find, okay?"
After a long time, a muffled sound came from the cup.
"good……"
"But, this is a bit too hasty. I am not mentally prepared at all."
"Don't you want to stand by Your Excellency Wu Fan openly and honestly as your wife earlier?"
"I don't want to, I don't want to at all." The cup seemed to stick to his face, swaying from side to side as his neck turned.
"Have you decided on a day yet?"
"I'll think about it, I'll think about it again... Well... I'm really sad..."
. . .
