Chapter 34: Strange Knowledge Increased

Iris glanced down at Naya and then raised her head to look behind her.

Illya, sitting at the dining table, was staring at the two of them in confusion.

Following Iris’s gaze, Naya suddenly remembered Illya’s presence, and her rationality returned to her mind.

“You should go to court first.”

These things weren’t suitable to discuss in front of Illya.

Iris smiled helplessly, her lips curling into a slight grin.

“When I have time, I’ll take you and Illya to visit the palace, although I don’t really want you to live in that kind of environment.”

Iris cupped Naya’s face with both hands and pressed her lips against the fresh red softness.

Meanwhile, Illya, who was watching from the living room, was dumbfounded.

Her Mama was currently doing those embarrassing things with Mother.

The kind where lips touch lips!

The warm morning light streamed down from the ceiling, bathing the two dragon maidens in red and white. The dark red Lolita dress turned its back to the rising sun, while the pure white silk gown glimmered in the rosy glow.

It looked as beautiful as a painting.

Even Flanna, who was tidying the dining table, was momentarily mesmerized, forgetting to cover Illya’s eyes, this was not something a child should be watching.

“Take good care of Illya at home. I’ll definitely give you whatever you want.”

“Mmm…”

Naya’s restless heart was soothed.

Her rosy cheeks glistened with tears.

“I’ll wait for you.”

Iris nodded.

She turned and left, transforming into a red dragon flying into the distance.

“Mommy.”

Illya slid off her chair and walked to Naya, grabbing the hem of her skirt, following Naya’s gaze toward the sky.

She didn’t understand why her Mama’s eyes looking at the sky seemed to imply that Mother would never return, even though she always returned riding the rainbow clouds at dusk.

“Illya, your Mother has to go to work again.”

“Yeah, Mommy is the Dragon King, and there are many, many things to do every day.”

Naya snapped back to reality from her daze. She bent down and picked up Illya, squinting her eyes with a smile as she rubbed against Illya’s cheek.

“Illya, just like you, I have the same question. Why are we not in the Dragon King’s palace, but here? Is your Mother really the Dragon King? Or could it be that your Mother has married another queen consort outside?”

“Um… that’s possible.”

“No, Miss Naya, besides you, Her Majesty the Queen has no other consorts.”

Flanna stepped forward to deny Illya’s nonsense.

“Her Majesty does not want you to suffer the intrigues of the palace, she hopes you can live a happy and peaceful life in this paradise. Please do not misunderstand Her Majesty, Miss Naya.”

“Mmm, I believe her.”

Naya turned to look at the sky again.

“But every time I watch her leave, I really want to be a part of her world. I feel like the distance between us is so close, yet it seems so far away.”

Naya didn’t mind being a housewife, she just didn’t want to be an ambiguous housewife.

If she knew what Iris was facing.

Knowing Iris’s connections and who was in the palace, and who Iris usually interacted with, only then would her heart find true peace.

Flanna clasped her hands in front of her and lowered her head.

“Please understand Her Majesty’s difficulties. Her Majesty has an older brother, a younger sister, and a younger brother, all with their own offsprings. If you were in the palace, you would have to face those people every day, and they might even compete for the throne against Illya… Her Majesty has no choice.”

Naya widened her eyes.

She turned to look at Illya, who blinked her cute big eyes, seemingly not fully comprehending Flanna’s words.

“Mommy, does Mother have so many relatives?”

“Mmm, okay, let’s not dwell on this anymore. Flanna, thank you, I understand. I shouldn’t be so emotional.”

“It’s natural for you to care about these matters, but please trust Her Majesty the Queen, she truly loves you.”

“Mmm.”

Naya hugged Illya.

“Let’s go to the study and learn, Illya.”

“Yay! By the way, Mommy, I know how to make dragon babies now. I want to make dragon babies with you.”

The air suddenly froze.

Naya caught a glimpse of Flanna’s shocked expression and felt her face heat up.

“Illya! What nonsense are you saying!”

“But I really know how, last night the former Dragon King came to me in a dream and taught me a lot of knowledge. I completely understand how dragon babies are made.”

“The former Dragon King really came to you in a dream?”

“Yes! Like what Mommy and Mother did just now, that’s the second step.”

“Ahem, Flanna, children speak without restraint, please don’t take it seriously. I’m going to the study with Illya now.”

Flanna nodded, awkwardly smiling.

Naya carried Illya to the study and closed the door.

“What exactly did the former Dragon King tell you in your dream?”

Could it be that this girl really met the previous Dragon King?

“Um… last night, just like Mommy said, I prayed to my dragon bloodline while sleeping, and then I encountered a super big black dragon in my dream! At first, I was startled. But then I saw he was tied up with chains, and I wasn’t scared at all. He seemed surprised to see me there and asked who I was. I thought of Mommy’s words, and I wondered if he was the former Dragon King? So, I told him my Mother, Iris, is the current Dragon King, and I’m her daughter, Illya.”

“Mmm, and then?”

“Then he asked me a ton of questions, like how the dragon clan is doing now and what generation my Mother is as the Dragon King. I had no idea how to answer. Finally, it seemed he had no choice but to say, ‘My descendant, how did you come here?’ I said, ‘I came in a dream.’ He laughed heartily.”

“Mmm, and then?”

“Then he said, ‘Child, I can feel your strong desire. It is your wish that has crossed time and space, bringing your soul to me. Tell me, what do you want?’ I said, ‘I want to know how to make dragon babies with Mommy.'”

She actually asked the former Dragon King such a question! Naya was furious.

“Illya! You and I cannot make dragon babies!”

Ilkya blinked her innocent big eyes and asked.

“Why not?”

Naya gritted her teeth.

Looks like I need to strengthen Illya’s ethical education from now on.

“Because it just isn’t allowed! What did the former Dragon King say in response to your ridiculous question?”

“He laughed again and said, ‘Bold! After thinking for a while, he said, ‘It’s not that there hasn’t been a precedent in ancient times…'”

“Mmm?”

“I forgot what story he told. I only remembered the beginning, and there were too many characters, I couldn’t remember any of them. He was really too verbose, and I was just focused on how to make dragon babies.”

“You didn’t remember the most important knowledge at all?”

Illya stared at Naya with wide eyes and retorted.

“I did remember! How could I forget the method for making dragon babies? First, hold hands, kiss, eat well, and then… Oh, Mommy, what does ‘magic tofu’ mean that the former Dragon King mentioned? Do you need to eat this kind of tofu to have dragon babies?”

As Illya spoke, she realized there were some concepts she didn’t quite understand.

“This, this, this!”

Naya pressed her hands on Illya’s shoulders, feeling both embarrassed and angry, almost on the verge of tears.

What on earth did the former Dragon King teach Illya?

She was still a child!
