  “The city lord’s castle has recently organized some jobs that you can choose from. However, whether your application will be successful will be decided by the employers who have provided those jobs. There’s going to be an employment convention held right in front of the city lord’s castle tomorrow; you can go and have a look there, and perhaps you’ll find a job that suits you,” the employee replied with a smile.

  “Thank you.” Firis nodded gratefully in response. Leaving the Wind Forest left her feeling quite dejected, but she felt respected by everyone after coming to Chaos City.

  Regardless of whether it was the soldiers on the city wall or the employees of the city lord’s castle, all of them had treated her with benevolence and respect, which was a rather strange feeling, yet also one that was very pleasant.

  In the past, she had heard about Chaos City from Irina, but she had never believed that there was actually a place in this world where everyone was treated as an equal, nor would she have ever thought that she’d one day truly come to such a place and become one of its residents.

  After following the employee to her the living quarters that she’d been assigned, Firis looked up at the starry night sky, and thought to herself, Is the princess doing well? She must be lonely on her own…… Is he watching me from the shadows? What kind of job do I have to find to prove that I’m fit to look after the young mistress?

  A series of questions flashed through her mind, leaving her feeling rather lost. In the past, all she had to worry about was serving the princess, yet now, she was suddenly having to deal with all of these issues that she’d never even had to consider before……

  Should I tell her?

  Outside the ice cream shop, Elizabeth was staring at Yabemiya, who was serving customers with a warm smile on her face.

  Fox seems to be growing quite impatient, and he’s summoning me back to the dragon islands. If I don’t ever get to come back, she may never find out the truth for the rest of her life……

  The smile on Yabemiya’s face was so clean and pure, and it wasn’t forced in the slightest. This was a smile that reflected joy and bliss from the bottom of her heart.

  But will knowing all of this really make her happy? Elizabeth was rather hesitant with how to proceed.

  She’s here again? At this point, Sally had also noticed Elizabeth’s presence, and her brows furrowed slightly as she realized that Elizabeth was staring directly at Yabemiya again. Why is she so interested in Miya?

  Elizabeth seemed to have also sensed Sally’s gaze, and their eyes met for a moment before Elizabeth strode directly into the ice cream shop.

  The snow-and-ice-themed ice cream shop was warmer than she’d expected, and even though it was already nighttime, there were still customers enjoying ice creams in the shop with blissful smiles on their faces.

  “Welcome…… Oh, it’s you!” Yabemiya turned to Elizabeth with a hint of surprise on her face.

  She had seen this beautiful woman many times at Mamy Restaurant, and Elizabeth had also asked her some strange questions in the past, so Yabemiya had quite a strong impression of her.

  Furthermore, perhaps it was due to the fact that this woman was a giant dragon, but Yabemiya always felt a strange sense of affection toward her.

  She had always been quite curious about what this strange feeling was stemming from, but she’d been holding back her curiosity this entire time. She was just a half-dragon, while Elizabeth was a noble giant dragon, and the two of them were on completely different levels.

  Elizabeth nodded to acknowledge Yabemiya before taking a seat beside the window. Even she didn’t know why she had decided to enter the shop.

  “What would you like to order? The flavors of ice cream we have available are all listed on the menu,” Yabemiya asked with a smile.

  “I’ll get a vanilla ice cream,” Elizabeth replied in a calm voice, but she had blurted out an answer, almost stumbling over her words in the process. Perhaps she really did need an ice cream just to calm herself down.

  “Alright, please wait for a moment.” Yabemiya nodded with a smile before departing, and then quickly returning with a vanilla ice cream.

  “Thank you,” Elizabeth said before taking a lick of her ice cream.

  It was still the same familiar entrancing flavor, and icy sweetness of the ice cream seemed to be capable of making one forget all of their worries.

  The ice cream operated until 10pm. After the final customer departed, Yabemiya turned off the lights before leaving with Sally.

  It was already deep into autumn, so the nights were quite cold, and there weren’t many people in the Aden Square at this time.

  However, there was a slender figure nearby, looking on as the two of them emerged from the shop.

  Yabemiya turned to Elizabeth with a slightly puzzled look as she asked, “Are you waiting for me?”


  “What do you want?” Sally stepped forward and shielded Yabemiya behind her as she appraised Elizabeth with a cautious look on her face.

  This wasn’t the first time that Elizabeth had been observing Yabemiya, and it was very strange that a proud 7th-tier giant dragon would be constantly spying on a half-dragon restaurant waitress.

  “I have some things I want to speak to her about. I bear no ill will,” Elizabeth replied in a calm manner.

  Sally’s eyes narrowed, and she showed no intention of stepping aside.

  However, Yabemiya made her way around Sally with a smile, and said, “It’s ok, Aisha, she doesn’t want to hurt me. You can go upstairs and go to bed now; I’ll be back soon.”


  Sally glanced at Yabemiya, and then at Elizabeth before nodding as she said, “Alright, but be careful.”


  Following Sally’s departure, Yabemiya turned to Elizabeth with a smile, and asked, “Is there something you’d like to speak to me about?”


  “We’re similar in age, so you don’t have to refer to me in such a respectful manner[1].”


  A hint of elation flashed through Yabemiya’s eyes upon hearing this, but she was still rather hesitant as she asked, “Can I really do that?”


  Elizabeth nodded in response.

  Yabemiya’s smile widened upon receiving this confirmation.

  At the sight of Yabemiya’s smile, Elizabeth was feeling a lot more relaxed, but at the same time, she was becoming even more hesitant.

  If she were to know the truth, would she still be able to smile like that? If she were to receive the dragon origin, she’d have no choice but to be swept up into a cruel political battle.

  “What did you want to speak to me about?” Yabemiya asked in a curious voice. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Elizabeth seemed to have something to tell her.

  Elizabeth returned to her senses, and calmly asked, “What kind of person do you think your father is like?”


  “I’ve never met him.” Yabemiya shook her head, but her eyes quickly lit up as a smile appeared on her face, and she said, “But I heard from Mother that he’s a golden-armor-clad hero who can carry the entire world on his shoulders!”


  He may be a hero, but he abandoned two sets of wives and daughters…… Elizabeth thought to herself at the sight of Yabemiya’s smiling face, but she couldn’t bear to tell her that in the end.

  “Do you want to become a true giant dragon?” Elizabeth continued.

  “A giant dragon?” Yabemiya thought about this carefully before shaking her head with a smile as she said, “I once wished for that, but at the time, I thought that being a half-dragon is really abhorrent, and I even hated myself. I no longer think that now. Even as a half-dragon, I can still bring others happiness and be liked by others.”


  [1] Yabemiya has been referring to Elizabeth using a more respectful form of “you” in Chinese this entire time, but there’s no real good translation for it in English, so I’ve kept it as “you”
