Chapter 27: Time Reveals True Love
Naya feeding pineapple pie herself?
This does sound like a good deal.
“But is your body up for it? Last night was quite intense.”
“Weren’t you the one on the bottom? Why is it me who can’t handle it?”
“Do you think you can hold back?”
“This… What’s there to hold back? I’m not that over the top!”
Naya blushed, feeling a bit uncertain. Once the mood was set, she could melt with just a slight touch from Iris.
But for the sake of the task, she was willing to give it her all!
Iris was silent for a moment before finally confessing.
“But I won’t be able to hold back.”
“Can’t you just lie down properly? What’s wrong with me taking charge for once? Iris, let me be straight with you, I want to be on top just once. I want to see you whispering softly under me, your face flushed.”
“That’s not happening.”
“Why not? What’s wrong with me being on top?”
“Because I’m the Dragon King. In dragon society, the strong rule. If you want to be on top, at least defeat me first.”
Isn’t this just making things difficult for Naya? Even given a lifetime, she couldn’t possibly beat Iris, right?
“Iris ~”
Naya dragged out her voice again.
“Don’t be like this, okay? I just want to be on top once. Are you really not going to allow it?”
“…”
For Iris, it was still a tough decision.
As Naya’s partner, she was also a dragon, and not just any dragon, but the head of the dragons. How could she allow another dragon, or even one who was formerly human, to dominate her? That would truly dishonor their ancestors.
“Hmph! Stingy, fine, if you won’t let me, you won’t.”
Naya let go of Iris, her eyes carrying a hint of resentment as she turned away.
This time, it was Iris who embraced Naya from behind, resting her head near Naya’s ear, her cheek gently rubbing against Naya’s slightly flushed ear.
“Tell me, Naya, why do you suddenly want to be on top?”
“Didn’t I already say? I was curious if eating pineapple really does that.”
Iris stuck out her tongue and lightly licked the back of Naya’s ear.
“No, you’re lying.”
At the same time, Naya shuddered.
[System! Can I shake you out of here?]
[No! If you shake me out, I’ll specifically design tasks to trap you, deceive you with false information.]
Although designing tasks to harm the host was forbidden by the supreme deity, deceiving the host with false information was fair game.
After all, sometimes the truth could drive the host into a corner.
The system’s primary duty was to protect the host while completing the mission of defeating the Dragon King together.
With that goal in mind, it had some leeway in how to proceed. The host’s death would be considered a mission failure.
[Then what do I do? Iris won’t let me take charge, and begging her isn’t working.]
Just as Naya was hesitating, Iris sighed helplessly.
“Alright, I’ll agree.”
“Huh?”
“I’ll agree to help you test what it smells like after eating pineapple.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Make me a pineapple pie this afternoon and feed it to me. Just me, without Illya.”
“Alright, alright!”
Naya’s silver dragon tail, which was sandwiched between them, wagged excitedly.
Iris smiled slightly and suddenly trapped Naya’s restless dragon tail between her legs.
“And you must promise me, Naya, no matter what happens in the future, you have to believe that I love you deeply.”
“In the future… Will something happen?”
“Nothing…”
Iris’s tone seemed to grow somber. Naya gently touched the hand Iris had resting on her chest. Since Iris had already said she loved her, there was no need to dig further.
So, Naya quickly changed the subject.
“Or are you hiding a wife out there?! After all, you’re the Dragon King. Marrying a few more wouldn’t be surprising, but that’s something I could never forgive.”
Iris chuckled softly.
“No, it’s just you.”
“Good, and there can only be one. You can’t marry anyone else. Speaking of which, even Illya has been influenced by your dragon history, thinking about marrying two wives.”
The history books did record that many Dragon Kings had more than one wife.
As the supreme ruler of the Dragon Empire, how could they lack such pleasures?
“Hmm? Marrying two wives? At such a young age, she’s already thinking like that?”
“Yes.”
And even planning to steal your wife!
If I told you that part, let’s see if you’d still want to groom Illya into becoming the Dragon King.
“Well, it wouldn’t be out of the question. Once she becomes Dragon King, marrying as many as she wants would be only natural.”
“Heh…”
What was this?
Naya’s cold laugh seemed to carry deeper meaning.
“Iris, by the way, can female Dragon Kings have children with other females?”
“Yes, at any given time, there can only be one Dragon King. The next Dragon King must be chosen from the Dragon King’s offspring, specifically the strongest one, to inherit the finest bloodline. A Dragon King’s pride often doesn’t allow them to be beneath anyone else, so female Dragon Kings usually select female dragons as consorts. They have other means to make their consorts pregnant, still allowing the Dragon King’s bloodline to continue.”
“And what are those methods?”
“Don’t be curious. Even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand. Only dragons with Dragon King blood can use these methods to make other dragons pregnant.”
“So, if the Dragon King happens to be male and likes males, what then? Can male dragons get pregnant too?”
“No. Generally speaking, Dragon Kings don’t fall in love. They are only responsible for reproduction and ruling the empire.”
“Dragon Kings don’t fall in love? Then you…”
“As I said, generally speaking,” Iris’s tone softened considerably.
“And I’ve also told you, no matter what happens, you must believe that I’ll always love you.”
“Mmm…”
Naya gently intertwined her fingers with Iris’s.
To be honest, everything Iris had said left her feeling uneasy.
For a Dragon King, falling in love could indeed weaken their ability to rule.
After all, once they care about someone, they also gain a weakness.
But since Iris was willing to share these things, it meant she wanted Naya to understand the situation while still choosing to love her without hesitation.
I can doubt any truth in this world, but I should never doubt Iris’s love for me.
“Iris, why do you… love me?”
Naya didn’t quite understand.
Was it because she was beautiful, with a great figure?
As the Dragon King, Iris could have her pick of countless dragons, certainly ones with better physical attributes than Naya.
It’s like how ancient emperors would carefully select their concubines. There was no way they wouldn’t find one they liked.
So, it couldn’t just be about her beauty.
Was it because she was unique?
She certainly was, but as a former human, dragons generally looked down on humans.
Liking a human should have been a disgrace to the dragon race, right?
Would Iris really love her for such shallow reasons?
“Because time reveals true love.”
“Huh?”
Iris gazed at Naya with infatuation, breathing in her sweet scent.
Adorable Naya smelled so good. Iris wished Naya could stay unbathed forever, maintaining this sweet, delicious fragrance.
Miss Naya, it’s true. After eating pineapple, you do smell sweeter.
After all, I had my fill of it last night.
