Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

"Because I remember this spell... this spell... seems to have some special requirements, but I've forgotten what exactly they are."

All her memories related to the Dragon Transformation Spell had faded away.

"You say... if I turned into a young dragon and was captured by the Black Dragon, what kind of life would I be living now? Tortured by the Black Dragon? Humiliated by the Black Dragon? Forced to become one of the Black Dragon's kin, raiding towns and villages in the Human World alongside him?"

"I... I don't know."

"Or perhaps the Black Dragon would just eat me as food?"

"???!!!"

That hypothesis was too horrifying!

She didn't even dare to think about it.

"No.. no way! Young dragons are still dragons, the Black Dragon shouldn't consider its own kind as food."

"It's hard to say, maybe in the eyes of the Black Dragon, a human-turned-young dragon is considered a different breed."

"Your Highness! Stop talking, I'm... I'm scared!"

"Scared of what? Don't be afraid, my gut tells me, my loser sister is still alive. She's so naive, and the Black Dragon so cunning and evil. If the Black Dragon really considered young dragons as food, he'd think twice about the consequences of eating her."

"What consequences?"

"Eating my loser sister might dumb him down."

"..."

Is it really okay to talk about your own sister like that?

Upon hearing this, Princess Lucia would probably get mad again, stuffing her face with desserts or fruits to vent her dissatisfaction.

As for settling accounts with Princess Asina...

Forget it.

She wouldn't win.

According to Princess Lucia, when she was a child, she could beat Asina thanks to her baby fat, but as they grew up, the tables had turned...

Talking to Princess Asina for a while had alleviated her anxiety quite a bit.

"Eva, you say... if the Black Dragon finds out that my loser sister actually isn't very smart, could he possibly hang her up as a mascot in the Dragon's Den?"

"....."

That possibility... doesn't seem very likely.

Despite how fierce Princess Lucia acts in front of Princess Asina, she's actually quite timid. Being captured by the Black Dragon, she'd cry for at least three days and nights.

And she might even have nightmares at night.

The chances of her being used as a mascot by the Black Dragon were slim.

But the possibility of being bullied was quite high.

"Facing the Black Dragon, I think that princess would behave very submissively."

"You're right, she only dares to show her claws in front of me. It's so boring without my loser sister, I don't even know who to play with."

Asina sighed, "I miss that loser sister of mine, tonight I'll sleep in her palace."

"..."

Princess Lucia's palace had turned into ruins when she transformed into a young dragon.

Three months after she was captured by the Black Dragon, Princess Asina had a new palace built on the original site.

The newly built palace was meant for Princess Lucia to reside in.

But that bed... was kind of awkward.

Princess Asina had the bed designed like a bird cage....

She had slept there for a few nights and said that Princess Lucia would definitely like it when she came back...

Princess Asina probably had a love-hate relationship with Princess Lucia.

Rebuilding the palace was because Princess Asina cared for Princess Lucia.

Designing that large bed to look like a bird cage...

Clearly intended to confine Princess Lucia.

"Your Highness, when Princess Lucia returns and sees that bird-cage-shaped bed, she's going to freak out."

"Who says that bird-cage bed will definitely be for my loser sister to sleep in? Maybe when she comes back, I might sleep in that bird cage bed for a while.

Being captured by the Black Dragon for so long, she must have felt suffocated. Returning to the Imperial City, she should be allowed to cheer up and vent some negative emotions.

As her elder sister, I must provide my loser sister with enough emotional value."

"When the time comes for my defeated younger sister to return, you shall take the ten thousand Dragon Guards that you have trained to support her. Tell her that in her absence, you amassed power in secret and cultivated an army entirely loyal to her."

"If she asks why the army would be loyal to her, tell her... the money to cultivate the army was taken from her personal treasury."

"Hmm... Perhaps I could also make some noble ministers' sons and daughters supporters of the defeated princess."

"By then, it would be a good opportunity to oust those old fellows from their positions. The Empire needs a fresh infusion of young blood."

"Their thoughts have solidified and cannot keep pace with mine."

"...."

Eva was stunned; she hadn't expected Asina, even in casual conversation, to come up with a plan to remove those nobles and ministers who were somewhat averse to her.

With a little maneuvering, this princess might indeed take the opportunity to expel the aging noble ministers from the court.

"Eva, this task is yours. Woo those nobles' sons and daughters in secrecy, and when appropriate, promise them some benefits."

"Your Highness... I fear that may not work. You control a large part of the Empire's army; they shouldn't be foolish to this extent…"

"Don't forget the major temples of the Imperial City. Moreover... when Lucia returns, she truly has a chance to become the Emperor of Farolan."

"..."

A temporary Emperor experience card...

Not only did this perfectly resolve Princess Lucia's negative emotions, but it also conveniently purged the Empire's nobility and ministers who held no good feelings towards this princess...

Alas...

How could Princess Lucia ever outmaneuver this princess?

"It's strange to say, but it's been over a year, and I seem to have never dreamt about my defeated younger sister, something's not right. When she wasn't captured by the Black Dragon and was still in the Imperial City, I used to dream about her every now and then. Now that she has been captured for over a year by the Black Dragon, I have not dreamt of her at all. Does my defeated sister not wish to appear in my dreams? Or can I not dream anymore?"

Asina's face showed distress.

Unable to meet her defeated sister in reality, she would like to see her in dreams and tease her.

But over the past year, she hadn't dreamt even once about her beloved defeated sister.

"Your Highness, I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it... Now that you mention it, I too haven't dreamt of... cough... cough cough... haven't dreamt of Princess Lucia for a long time..."

Realizing she had been led astray by Princess Asina, Eva hastily coughed a few times to cover her embarrassment.

"Isn't there a Dream Weaver in the Imperial City? Help me find a Dream Weaver who can weave a beautiful dream for me when I sleep at night."

"..."

To go to such lengths...

"I'll take note."

"Very well."

Bored, Asina lay down on the desk, "Feel free to do as you please. I'm going to take a short nap and then later go to sleep in my defeated sister's palace. Remember, go find Melissa tomorrow; the Dragon Guards are in your hands."

"Understood, Your Highness."

Asina slowly closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.

.....

Black Dragon Island, Dragon Nest.

"Dream Catching Technique?" The young dragon sat in front of the desk, staring blankly at Evil Dragon Lance, who was about to teach her the Dream Catching Technique.

The Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln had taught Lance the Dream Catching Technique.

Of course, it wasn't given to Lance for free. Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln had exchanged the technique for his Domain from Lance.

Lance had previously devoured Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln's Domain. To preserve the integrity of the Domain, Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln exchanged domains using the "Dream Catching Technique."

Lance agreed.

He said that Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln's Domain was of no use to him.

Lance found the Dream Catching Technique somewhat interesting and prepared to pass it on to her.

She had no interest in the Dream Catching Technique.

Only perverts liked spying on other people's dreams.

She had no interest in other people's dreams at all.

"Forget it, I'm not interested in other people's dreams, nor do I wish to spy on them."

"This is the Dream Catching Technique, not the Dream-Entering Technique. Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln said that once you master the Dream Catching Technique, if a living being dreams of you while you are sleeping, you can sense it."

"At that time, if you do not wish to appear in that being's dream, you can use the Dream Catching Technique to erase your existence from their dream."

"Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln also said that the Dream Catching Technique could allow you to briefly enter the dreams of the being who dreamt of you. However, in the being's dream, you cannot interact with the dreamer. When the dreamer awakes, they also will not remember you."
