Chapter 324: “You're My Wife.”
On that day, Jiltry was bursting with excitement.
How could it not?
Up above the man and two girls walking down the street while holding hands, the black dragon acted like the most loyal bodyguard. It flew by slowly flapping its wings while at the same time shadowing the three people on the ground. The appearance of it was more amazing than any other noble or even royal procession, so it instantly maxed out the awe meter.
The citizenry seemed to have already gotten the news from the knight, so although none dared to get close to the street that Shien’s group was going down, they did instead pop their heads out from the various buildings and side streets to look at the three of them. Although they were fearful, they were also excited at the same time.
“Is that how nobles from the Capital are?”
“That’s amazing… Way too amazing…!”
“He really does have a dragon as a mount…!”
“Are all nobles from the Capital this amazing?”
The citizenry quietly gossiped among each other to that effect as they looked up at Shien, who was holding the hands of Airi and Leisha, with awe.
At this moment, in those people’s eyes, Shien was unquestionably a person of vast greatness.
There were even many young ladies with good beauty and fairly decent status who came to observe while accompanied by guards. They looked at Shien with heated gazes, which made it all the more hard for others to accept this.
Even putting aside the fact that he was able to become a noble at such a young age and the fact that he has a true dragon as a mount, even the captain of the Second Knight Order who governed Jiltry had treated him so respectfully. Thus, wouldn’t such a man make simply the best spouse possible?
Add in the fact that he came from the Capital, meaning that he was able to establish a place for himself in the Capital, it meant that he was definitely a noble among nobles, so it’s only natural that those noble young ladies all fell for him.
This fact made Shien reminisce over it.
“It looks like there are advantages to being a noble after all.”
At the very yeast, it’s very much enough of a reputation booster. The treatment from others it invites is also pretty good, it’s basically the treatment of a winner.
Of course, the two beauties, one big and one small, next to Shien also got similar treatment.
“Look at that maid, quickly…”
“So beautiful…”
“How can there be such a beautiful maid?”
“If my family had such a beautiful maid, then how could I possibly bear to marry some baron’s daughter?”
“My family is the same. If they had even half her figure and looks, then I would have already gone up to them to propose marriage rather than waiting around for them to come force me to marry them.”
“A noble should have such a a beautiful maid if they want to actually show of.”
“Right?”
“That little girl is also really pretty as well.”
“She’s way too pretty.”
“If only my daughter was so adorable.”
“R-rather than that, I kind of want to adopt her as my daughter.”
“Yeah…”
“I really want that…”
Conversations like that continued to come. Many nobles and already married men all gathered together. They were practically drooling as they stared at the two beauties next to Shien.
Unfortunately for them, while Lasha can be put aside, Airi’s mood on the other hand was sinking with every moment.
“Daughter?”
Airi’s had a frosty look on her little face.
Again with the little sister and daughter talk. Just what is with thing now?
I’m the great Dragon Demon here! Am I really someone that can be taken as a little sister or daughter?
If you people wanted to consider me a big sister or mother, then I could at least reluctantly consider it complement. If I’m in a good mood, then maybe I might even act without thinking and allow you all a chance to forge some connections, yet you want to treat me as a little sister or daughter?
Do you only fear the dragon overhead and not me, the dragon king then?
Want to see me show a transformation here and now and scare you to deathh?
At that moment, all of you will beg to be my little brothers!
Airi was in a very bad mod, and she even started to dislike this city.
Thus, Airi begun making the following requests to Shien.
“You really want to rest here for the night? Why can’t we just head onward?”
Airi practically had the words “I don’t want to stay here” printed on her face.
Unfortunately for her, Shien wasn’t budging at all.
“We flew all the way here from the Capital, so even if you guys aren’t tire, I am, alright?” Shien spoke in
“你真要在这里休息一晚？直接出发不行吗？”
艾依就差没将“我不想待在这里”这行字印在脸上了。
可惜，希恩一点都不为所动。
“从王都一路飞到这里，你们不累我都累了好吧？”希恩没好气的道：“现在太阳都差不多快下山了，你难道还想连夜赶路？”
好吧，艾依还真不想连夜赶路。
作为一头嗜睡的龙王，晚上不睡觉是不可能的，这辈子估计都不可能。
要知道，过去，艾依可没少一睡就是十几二十年，这阵子待在希恩的身边几乎是天天都醒着，虽不至于说是感到不舒服，却也隐隐的有些常犯困，想干脆躺下，睡个天荒地老。
但要是真这么做了，等她下次醒来，估计希恩都有可能入土了吧？
所以，艾依是不敢真的睡死过去的，只能维持每天早睡晚起，那就已经够辛苦的了。
“那我们换座城市歇脚。”
艾依又是提出要求。
可这次，希恩还没出声，一旁的菈夏先开口了。
“离捷里特利最近的一座城市在西边，以尤琳大人的速度也得飞一阵子才能抵达，到时候天只怕已经黑了，想在那时找到歇脚用的旅馆，或许并不太容易。”
菈夏平静的发言，让艾依总算闭上了自己的嘴巴。
虽然脸上还是有些不愉快，但希恩知道，这丫头已经放弃离开的打算了。
“你也真是够了。”希恩是看得一阵好笑，道：“不就是被人当小孩子看吗？有必要那么抗拒？”
“......那我问你。”艾依看向希恩，面无表情的道：“如果将来你活到六十岁了，结果身边的人整天用逗小孩子的语气哄你，叫你小希恩，让你起床记得刷牙，还为你买一堆十岁的小孩穿的衣服给你，每天帮你洗澡，喂你吃饭，连要去哪里都必须报备，让你带一堆人在身边看护着，你会怎么样？”
闻言，希恩稍微想了想，随即就受不了了。
要是真有美少女天天帮自己洗澡，喂自己吃饭，那就是个享受了，可艾依其余方面的描述只让希恩觉得鸡皮疙瘩都快要起来。
该不会...
“你就是过着这样的生活？”
希恩小心翼翼的问了一句。
“没错。”艾依依旧面无表情，这般道：“而且，还是从诞生以来一直维持到现在，整整一万年。”
一万年......
希恩看着艾依的眼神顿时充满着同情。
连一旁的菈夏都不由得撇了艾依一眼，眼中多少流露出些许怜惜来。
这孩子，看来是被摧残得很严重啊。
难怪那么嗜睡了，感情不单单是因为龙都嗜睡，还是因为想逃避现实吗？
“行吧。”希恩姑且这么道：“那我以后不说你是我妹妹了。”
“哦？”艾依顿时来了点兴致，看向希恩，道：“那你打算说我是你的谁？”
“呃...”希恩一下子被难住。
说是谁好呢？
姐姐？
别人信吗？
长辈？
那也是扯犊子吧？
就这小丫头的外貌及长相，说她比自己大，只怕别人会以为自己在侮辱他们的智商。
既然如此...
In that case then…
“I’ll say that you’re my wife.”
The words out of Shien’s mouth made Airi suddenly miss a step, almost tripping.
Even Lasha stopped moving and instead looked toward Shien. Shien even felt like he saw a hint of disdain from her eyes.
That was obviously the look one would give to a lolicon.
Hey now, girl, I’m just making a joke here. Please don’t take is so seriously, alright?
Just as Shien was faking a laugh, Airi looked at Shien with a rather speechless expression on her face.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen someone who dared to claim me to be his wife.”
Airi used a single sentence to tell Shien just how insanely daring the words he just said were.
Taking the Dragon Demon as a wife?
There’s plenty of people who might be daring enough to think it, but there’s no one who would actually dare to try to say it out loud or actually do it.
However, what Shien rather wanted to say to that was…
“… Are you sure it isn’t that they can’t actually do it?”
Shien couldn’t hold himself back from taught fate again.
Airi didn’t say a word in response to that, she just started continuously putting more strength into the hand that was holding Shien’s, making “creak, crack” noises continuously come out.
“Owowowow…! It’s going to break, it’s breaking!”
Shien’s face warped, he cried out, and he grit his teeth in pain.
“Hmph!”
Only then did Airi finally toss Shien’s hand from her before then heading forward in an unhappy mood.
Shien hurriedly followed up after her before picking the girl in question up.
“I’m sorry oh great lady Airi.” Shien grinned, “It’s not that no one else would be able to do it, it’s that they lack the courage and ability, right?”
“Are you trying to coax a little kid here?” Airi still looked unhappy.
“Not at all.” Shien determinedly refused to admit it.
That said, there is one thing that he could admit to.
“I’ll go ahead and say it that way in the future then. You’re my wife, it’s decided then.”
Shien thus hugged the soft and warm little girl to him and one-sidedly decided on it.
“Hey!”
Airi seemed to want to object to it.
“Objections refused!”
Shien held his hand over the mouth of the little girl in his arms and shut her up.
“Mmmm…!”
Airi started struggling, but it had no effect at all.
The two of them simply continued to play fight while moving forward.
Lasha followed right behind them. She looked as calm as always, but every once in a while, the expression she had while gazing at Shien and Airi would turn a lot gentler.
Yulin was also following along. She was filled with awe and respect as she saw Shien hug and hold Airi’s mouth shut.
As expected of the master she recognized. He’s even able to subject such a powerful big sis dragon king. As expected, she had good judgment.
Thus, Yulin also seemed to have gotten in a good mood, which showed in her flying.
In this situation, Shien and the others didn’t discover that a group of people had poked their heads out from a certain building to watch them, and they seemed to also be discussing something.
Immediately after, they grabbed a large sack and started sneakily following after Shien and the others.
Within that sack, a hint of golden hair was barely visible. It was also accompanied with the sound of something breathing, as if something was slumbering within.
