Chapter 41: Bringing Your Family To Work
Iris had already told the maids in advance that Bella and Flanna would take Naya and Illya on a tour of the palace, while Nitia would stay behind at the castle to guard the home.
Although Naya and Illya wouldn’t face any harm in the Dragon Palace, without the maids, it might still be hard to handle certain rumors or guards. After all, this was the Dragon Palace, and strengthening security was also Iris’s directive.
Besides, Iris had her own matters to attend to and couldn’t always accompany Illya and Naya.
After hearing Iris’s explanation.
Naya got out of bed and changed her clothes.
She put on a beautiful white dress, tightly tying the corset around her waist to accentuate her slender waist and ample chest.
Naya was still confident in her figure.
She hadn’t paid much attention before, during her amnesia, she felt that she was naturally like this. Surrounded by beautiful women, her standards for beauty had also become high. Now that her memories had returned, Naya had developed a normal set of judgment criteria.
Her figure, from the perspective of the average human, was well-suited for childbearing—fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, with a curvy figure and a small waist.
She glanced at Iris’s chest out of the corner of her eye. If she had to compare, her own “bunnies” were a size larger than Iris’s.
No, no!
Naya, what are you proud of?
You used to be a man! Faced with these feminine traits, how could you be narcissistic about it?
Naya moved to the dressing table and started adjusting the accessories on her head.
Over the years, while serving Iris, she had developed a sense of female aesthetics.
Dressing up was no longer a challenge for her.
She was about to go out, and it wasn’t the dead of night like yesterday, but broad daylight. As Iris’s queen, visiting the palace, she had to present an image that matched Iris’s.
Phew…
Deep breaths.
She was very nervous. After being cooped up for almost six years, Naya wasn’t sure if she could handle the people in the palace.
She would be mentally prepared to not hold Iris back or let Illya face any harm in the palace.
How could she protect her family without strength?
Naya thought about the recent conversation with the System.
The forging of the Holy Spear required advanced dragon scales. If they were Iris’s scales, would they be able to pierce any defense besides Iris’s?
Maybe, they could even break through Iris’s defenses…
“Iris.”
“Hmm?”
Iris had been sitting on the bed, watching Naya dress. She stared at her wife, every gesture filled with grace and elegance.
“Will you always stay by my side?”
“Of course.”
“Even if we go outside, even if one day we go traveling, don’t leave me and Illya behind.”
“Do you think I would do that?”
“Don’t answer with a question. I just want a yes or no.”
“I won’t leave you two.”
“Mmm, then I’m relieved.”
“What’s wrong? Why bring this up suddenly?”
Naya squinted and smiled.
It’s just, I feel a bit uneasy. I feel like today is the beginning of me leaving here and stepping out into the world. I’m a bit afraid of the danger that might come.”
“With me here, you won’t be in any danger.”
Naya nodded.
Stripping Iris of her dignity? She wouldn’t do that.
Maybe one day she would capture a diamond-level dragon sacrifice, or while traveling to the human kingdom, she could buy dragon scales with money.
Even if Iris spoiled her, it wasn’t right to take advantage of Iris’s love for her like that.
After getting dressed, it was about time for Illya to wake up.
Naya and Iris went to Illya’s bedroom together, woking her up from her dreams, and explained their plans for the day.
Upon hearing they were going out, Illya naturally raised both hands in approval.
“Yay! We’re going out to play again!”
“We’re not going out to play, we’re going to your Mother’s palace. We still need to pay attention to etiquette. Illya, you must be polite. Don’t shout or scream randomly. No one knows you’re a princess yet, so we need to give the other dragons in the Dragon Palace a good first impression.”
“Mmm, I’ll listen to mommy.”
Illya’s eyes were filled with anticipation as she urged Naya to quickly dress her.
Naya picked out a pink princess dress for Illya, tied up her cute twin ponytails, fastened with adorable bows, and dressed her legs in white stockings, just like her own. The overall theme was a warm white tone.
Only Iris wore a cold, dark red tone.
There was no helping it. After all, Iris was a red dragon.
And it wasn’t the festive kind of red, but a gloomy, murderous dark red.
After breakfast, Illya held Naya’s hand as they left the castle.
No, it was more like Illya was pulling Naya out.
She had already started wolfing down breakfast, eagerly looking toward the sky outside.
Naya held Illya in her arms, climbed onto Flanna’s back, and shouted toward the sky.
“Let’s go ~”
Meanwhile, Iris rode on Bella’s back.
The family of three, along with the maids, temporarily left their secret home, their hidden sanctuary.
The dragon maids carried the three of them through the clouds, arriving at the Dragon Palace.
They dismounted at the dragon landing platform.
The maids returned to their dragon girl forms and stood guard beside Naya and Illya.
Illya curiously looked around.
“This is the palace? It’s so big!”
“Shh, Illya, don’t make a fuss.”
She’s clearly a princess, so she shouldn’t act like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time.
“Oh!”
Illya quickly covered her mouth.
“Naya, Illya, you two go with Flanna and Bella to the Sky Dragon Hall and have a look around. I have to go to the front hall for the morning court.”
“Mmm, go ahead.”
Naya watched as Iris walked in the opposite direction from them.
At this moment, she felt a slight sense of Iris being the Dragon King.
Of course, in terms of her aura—Naya had already experienced her strength firsthand.
“Let’s go, Miss Naya.”
There weren’t many important people in the Sky Dragon Hall.
Upon reaching the Sky Dragon Hall, Illya could play inside freely, shout as much as she wanted.
Naya sat in a garden, watching as Illya, under Flanna’s lead, explored the palace with curiosity.
Naya, however, had lost all excitement she had felt the previous night when she first arrived at the palace.
She gazed at the tall walls and the magical barriers protecting the palace.
Ultimately, it wasn’t about how grand the place was. What mattered was being with Iris, where everything felt fresh and full of interest.
Boring.
So boring.
She had thought Iris would introduce her to important figures in the palace, but it turned out they had just come to another place to sit idly.
[System, can you analyze this place?]
[What do you want me to analyze?]
[Just analyze anything that might be useful to me.]
[The Dragon Palace isn’t much different from ancient Chinese palaces on Earth, except it’s larger. I’ll remember the layout for you so you don’t get lost at first.]
[System, do you think last night was just a coincidence? Why, after six years, did Iris finally bring me to the palace? If I hadn’t asked to turn into a dragon, hadn’t wanted to fly, hadn’t happened to pass through the secret realm’s boundaries, would she have brought me here?]
[If I dare say anything bad about Iris, you’ll mute me, won’t you? If you’re just bored and want me to be your love conversation tool to help you praise Iris more, I’ll go to sleep.]
The System had already figured out Naya’s tendencies.
Trying to use flattery to drive a wedge between them was impossible. This Host had become completely love-struck.
[Come on, system, let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk business. Why didn’t you detect that the castle was in a secret realm before?]
It seemed the System still strongly opposed her relationship with Iris.
The road to conquering the System was long and difficult.
If she wanted to grow stronger, she would need the system’s help.
Even though she didn’t like the system interfering in her life, she had to admit that for a transmigrator, the System was like having a cheat code.
