Palm Dragon

Cappadocia pauses as she prepares to place the sliced ​​ham on the tray.

(To him) the murmurs not far away grew louder.

There was no expression on the calm face, but the butler still sped up his movements a little.

The huge tray was covered with a shiny clean lid, and the tall and thin Cappadocia easily picked up today's breakfast with one hand and left the kitchen.

When he turned out the door, his keen sense of being a vampire forced him to slow down.

The footsteps behind him were light but a little unsteady, which made people feel nervous.

Three, two, one.

"Please... please wait a moment."

The shy voice was like the song of a bird in the morning, so beautiful because it was moistened with dew.

...Quickly counting the time in my mind, after making sure that this time will not delay the breakfast and meal time of Mr. Noble and the little black dragon, Cappadocia turned around politely.

The girl was startled, as if frightened by his actions, her cheeks were stained with a faint blush.

But it is also possible that the girl blushed before he turned around.

Cappadocia waits quietly.

But the girl in front of him was very nervous, and it took her a while to say good morning to him smoothly.

"I saw a very beautiful daisy this morning..." The eyes of the girl with long brown curly hair shone with joy and shyness. "Do you still need it today?"

Because Little Fat Dragon has a bad habit of eating flowers, in order to prevent him from destroying the flower garden everywhere, Mr. Noble occasionally hopes that Cappadocia will satisfy Adrian's little hobby.

When he made orange sauce with fresh mint the day before yesterday, he happened to see a few female officials cleaning some beautiful roses by the pool, so he asked for some, and prepared for the little fat dragon to dip the flowers in to eat.

But now it seems that he has made redundant moves.

This is the third time.

The young girl's slender shoulders were trembling with tension, holding a few sky-colored daisies with a handkerchief in her hand.

It is indeed a rare color.

Cappadocia still reached out and took Daisy, "Thank you."

The girl seemed to have completed a remarkable task, and her tone became lighter. "The daisy root is very tender and has a sour taste, but it's delicious when frosted..."

She took a peek at Cappadocia after speaking halfway, and then lowered her head after her eyes met.

"Velma happens to have great licorice candies if grown-ups like it..."

The butler looked away from the hem of her white skirt, which was cuffed tightly by her.

"Mister is currently restricting Adrian's sugar intake, thank you."

Nodding politely, Cappadocia turned and left.

The girls seemed to be in a hurry, and before he could turn the corner, the sound of several hurried footsteps came from a corner.

"How about it……?"

"Did he take it?"

……

For the ingredients in the future, let's go to the market and have a look.

Thinking so, the housekeeper quickly walked through the corridor holding the tray steadily.

"What did he say?" a round-faced girl asked eagerly.

"Well, he said thank you..." Weima came back to her senses, a little disappointed. "Lord Leighton doesn't seem to be interested in sweets."

After Mr. Ferrez disappeared and reappeared inexplicably, it caused a lot of shock to the little ladies in the Holy Palace.

The red-haired and red-eyed Cappadocia and the silver-haired and blue-eyed Iss have become the new talking points of the girls after Bello and Landis.

And Ferris, who always covers his head and doesn't like to show up, and has a bad temper, is out of the scope of discussion no matter how handsome he is.

"To be the guests of the dragon, they must be very honorable." They said in the dreamy tone unique to girls.

Cappadocia, who often roams the kitchen and gardens (searching for ingredients for the little chubby dragon), is easier to approach than Is, who doesn't appear often.

in particular……

"I swear I saw it." A round-faced girl seriously assured everyone. "Lord Leighton does have a little bat in his pocket!"

Women are the most patient creatures, and with their relentless (secret) admiration, they have indeed seen similar scenes.

Occasionally, when the handsome butler is stirring cream or making jam, a little bat will poke its head out of his pocket, get a little cream and then retract.

So the girls sighed softly again.

Liking small animals is one of the criteria for a good man.

Unaware that he has become the center of the girls' topic, now Cappadocia calmly watches the little black dragon's unreasonable behavior of staying in bed.

"I understand that he needs to accumulate energy, but..." Iss let go of his hand helplessly.

Adrian, who had been carried upside down by Mr. Noble, fell onto the bed again with a 'click'.

"It's noon," Cappadocia pointed out.

Adrian's sleepiness is getting worse and worse, he snores almost before the moon rises, and the time to wake up is getting later and later.

Even Tutuma said that it is more suitable for Adrian to exercise in the sun for a while than to sleep late.

Seeing Adrian slowly squirming back into the quilt with his eyes closed, Ice gave up.

Bello always emphasized the importance of Xiaolong's adulthood in front of him, and Adrian's increasingly abnormal behavior undoubtedly made him more entangled.

There is also the problem of Saka waiting to be solved by myself...

"There are always so many nerve-wracking things." Mr. Noble poured himself a cup of tea.

Cappadocia looked at his pocket watch, and a furry head poked out of his pocket.

The morning on the tray on the table is no longer edible, and it is almost time to prepare lunch.

"By the way, Bailey (remember this bisexual transvestite?) Any news?" Iss frowned.

"Ji Lian can't enter the sacred imperial capital." And that beauty is Bailey's messenger.

"Even if the current white mage is useless, those barriers can still block...something." Mr. Noble put down his teacup as if remembering something disgusting. "I'd say it worked out pretty well."

Cappadocia didn't comment. In fact, when he knew what the 'thing' was that rotten beauty, the butler, who was as clean as Mr. Noble, took Jilian (and her ox cart) to the place where she passed by. They were all burnt clean.

"You have to go there." Cappadocia decided to stop recalling the beauty.

"Even if Lan can loosen the barrier, it doesn't matter." Iss smiled. "I didn't think Garnandi could be trapped forever."

Just like... Garnandi could never destroy him.

"And then fight again?"

"No no—I don't want to mess myself up like I did last time...I mean, there's always another way."

Easton paused, and casually tapped on the armrest of the chair. "I'm thinking now, Mr. Stubborn."

"Mr. Bello?"

Mr. Noble rolled his eyes. "I am very happy that Ed was able to find his father. But in my opinion, the task of parents is to teach and accompany children when they are not sensible." Instead of trying to occupy children who are starting to be independent.

Hmph, really immature.

Ever since the relationship between Bello and Adrian became clear, this narrow-minded guy has never stopped slandering for a moment.

"Aw----!!!" A scream sounded suddenly.

Is, who was talking, turned back with Cappadocia.

The big bed at the back swayed heavily, apparently just hit by something.

Adrian rolled onto the carpet with a little bat on his tail.

The butler stepped forward calmly, and pulled up Casey who flew out of his pocket at some point.

The little black dragon rolled on the ground in pain.

"Kathy bit me!" Adrian finally woke up from the pain, the despicable little blood knows his weakness!

Casey haughtily crawled back into the pocket of Cappadocia, leaving the little black dragon with a look of contempt.

Since returning from Sunset Castle, Casey has been sickly, and all the little energy has been focused on flirting with the little fat dragon.

Probably in Casey's subconscious mind, if he hadn't followed Adrian to Sunset Castle, he could have avoided everything that happened there.

However, this small venting of anger and complaints made Xiao Panglong very confused and wronged.

When did he offend him?

... The gentleman on the side looked at the grinning but energetic Adrian, and began to consider the possibility of raising a live alarm clock in the future.

……╮(╯▽╰)╭╮(╯▽╰)╭╮(╯▽╰)╭……

"If you're so unwilling, how about arranging Xiaopang to the West Palace tonight?" Looking at Bello who was pacing in the room, Landis suggested not very sincerely.

"If he arranges his room on the south side, he will still run to that guy at night, even if it is changed to the central square." Bello glared at him.

Landis, who was innocently angered, touched his nose and continued to explain: "Little Fatty is already a big boy."

"Even if he's an adult, he shouldn't have acted like this."

In Bello's mind, as long as a minor is considered a puppy love.

Belo, who is used to taking care of eggs that cannot speak or move, begins to experience the troubles of parents. "Adrian should go back to Dragon Island. There are many good girls on the island that Adrian can get to know..." instead of entangled with the notorious demons on the continent of Ori.

Even if Iss was arranged in a remote direction, the little fat dragon would fly there consciously when it was time to sleep—the behavior was so natural that it almost choked Bello to death.

Bailey, who wants to make up for the regrets of more than 200 years but doesn't know where to start, is very entangled. Now his son is obviously more dependent on a slick guy... Well, he must admit that all dragons are shallow to some extent—

— They both only like good looks, like gems and faces.

And Yisi's appearance is very in line with the aesthetics of the dragon - at least Bello and Adrian will both use "sparkling" to describe Mr. Noble in their hearts.

The only thing that balances him out a bit is that it's limited to bedtime (maybe that's even worse), and Adrian is still happy to be close to Dad when he wakes up.

Like now.

"Little fat~" Landis smiled and called Adrian who appeared at the door to come over.

Adrian flew to the table in front of them familiarly, and raised the shiny bottle in his paw: "Lyton made great jam."

Although they haven't been together for long, some connections between Adrian and Bello are already very obvious.

For example, Adrian knew that what he liked to eat, Bello would definitely like it too.

Sure enough, Bailong's eyes lit up.

"How is Xiaopang thinking?" The outstretched hand was hit by Bello's silver spoon, and Landis had to pull Adrian's tail to vent his anger.

"It hurts, hurts..." Just after being bitten by Casey, Adrian, who had a childhood shadow, immediately jumped up. "Think about what?"

Bello put down the bottle and turned Adrian on the table to face him.

The seriousness in his father's eyes made Adrian sit up straight.

Bello considered the wording for a while, and looked into his son's eyes seriously.

"Let's go home, Ed."
