The Dragon Girl would never like the Lord.

Ron just blurted it out; he treated it as a spice of the journey.

Of course, he might do that if Lucia really disobeys.

"This punishment is perfect!"

Naïve Lucia didn't think much of it and assumed that the punishment of eating meant having lots of grilled meat.

"The meat you're being punished with is raw and unroasted."

Ron made a slightly mischievous joke.

"It's too fishy if you don't grill it."

Lucia felt that the meat tasted too strong if it wasn't grilled, except for the delicious river shrimp, of course.

"You were right after all..."

Ron's lips twitched. Although they weren't on the same wavelength, his reply was perfectly reasonable.

"Lucia, the reason it's called punishment is because it's meat you don't want to eat."

Ron pinched Lucia's cheek and spoke with a smile.

"But Lucia likes to eat all kinds of meat!"

Even with such an obvious hint, Lucia didn't understand at first, but then a thought flashed through her mind and she remembered what Ron had told her before, and her cheeks immediately turned red.

"My lord, this is unacceptable!"

After she realized what was happening, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her mind almost went blank...

"Then get to work."

If Lucia works diligently, Ron won't do anything to her, but if she slacks off, well, that's not guaranteed.

"Lucia will try her best~"

She didn't believe it herself, but in the enclosed environment of the carriage, she felt it was best to perform well first.

If the work gets too tiring and I really can't keep going, then we'll talk about it then.

If all else fails, you can help each other out with the lord; after all, it feels good to have your tail pinched...

Thinking of this, Lucia slightly brought her legs together, and her tail swayed uncomfortably behind her...

The carriage rolled along the old stone-paved road and stopped in front of the mansion.

Ron stretched comfortably, lifted the curtain, and got off the carriage.

"Young Master Ron, everything is normal at the manor."

Yarman, who was guarding the mansion, greeted Ron with a smile when he saw him return.

"Ah."

Ron patted Yarman on the shoulder and slowly entered the mansion.

Upon arriving at the backyard, they saw two dragon maidens in the pavilion, looking over anxiously.

They breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Lucia was alright.

"Lucia, nothing bad happened on this trip, right?"

O'Ville's question was rather vague; she didn't directly ask whether the man had done anything to her.

Yes...

Lucia excitedly threw herself into O'Ville's arms;

"Lucia ate a lot of delicious food, including grilled steak, grilled venison, and grilled foie gras."

When she heard the first part of the sentence, O'Ville's heart nearly jumped out of her chest, thinking that Ron had done something to her.

Fortunately, nothing bad happened; they just ate something.

Did he touch your body?

Fria first stared at Ron with her crimson eyes for a while, but didn't see anything unusual, before asking Lucia.

"No, no, Lord, you didn't touch my tail..."

Lucia scratched her head, her eyes darting around, seemingly afraid that her lie would be exposed...

Upon hearing Lucia's answer, Fria was certain of one thing.

That damned man touched Lucia's tail.

She frowned, gritted her teeth, and glared at the man in front of her;

"It seems you didn't take my words to heart!"

If her tail were touched, she might grit her teeth and bear it.

But Philia couldn't accept that her partner was being toyed with at will by this man.

Suddenly, a wave of orange-red heat rose from her body, her hands transformed into sharp claws, and she glared angrily at Ron before her...

Chapter 60 Lucia begged to have her tail touched! Ron was just happy to help the dragon!

In the sunlight, in the courtyard, Philia glared at Ron.

Its ruby-like scales emitted steam continuously, and it gritted its teeth, seemingly about to go berserk at any moment.

"Hi, Hilia, it's not what you think~"

Upon seeing this, Lucia immediately stepped in front of the man, separating the two. She was very uneasy and didn't know what to do.

"Lucia, you're too naive. You don't even realize you're being taken advantage of."

Fria looked helplessly at her companion, not wanting her to get hurt again.

"Yes, it was Lucia who asked the lord to scratch my tail for me..."

Seeing that the situation had not improved, Lucia had no choice but to blush, lower her head shyly, and tell the truth.

"Wha...what?"

Phyllis felt like the sky had fallen; she never expected that Lucia would be so eager to give it to her.

"I was sitting in the carriage when I felt a bug in my tail, so I begged the lord for help..."

Lucia nervously fidgeted with her fingers, avoiding eye contact with the angry Lucia.

“Lucia...”

Fria glanced at Lucia, then at the grinning man beside her, making her want to angrily question him, but she didn't know what to say.

"I am a kind-hearted person and can't bear to see my subordinates suffer."

Ron shrugged and smiled smugly.

"If any of you are feeling down in the future, you can come to me. I'm always happy to help with these kinds of things."

Seeing the defeated Fria, I felt incredibly pleased.

I love seeing her angry but having nowhere to vent.

"Ah...."

Fria was almost laughing in anger, looking at the man in front of her with disdain.

Even if I'm in excruciating pain, I would never ask you for help.

That's just her personality; when she encounters difficulties, she won't ask for help from others, and her first thought is to solve the problem herself.

Not to mention looking for Ron; she felt that such a thing would never happen in her lifetime.

"Don't make any promises you can't keep. You might need my help soon."

Ron felt that they would have to stay together for another three years, during which anything could happen.

Fria is currently incredibly proud and aloof, but with time, she will gradually become more gentle and charming.

"A pointless delusion."

Fria felt that even if she were to die from poisoning right now, she wouldn't beg the man in front of her for the antidote.

How could I possibly need help?

Even when she was sleeping, Fria always thought about the feeling of having her tail rubbed that day.

She felt she could do this herself and didn't need help...

"Lucia, it seems I need to give you a proper lesson on that kind of knowledge."

O'Ville felt that she was partly to blame for this, as she hadn't taught Lucia about that kind of thing earlier, which led to this situation.

"Yes, I want to learn."

Lucia felt she understood, but not completely; her understanding of those things was vague, and she definitely needed to know more.

That way, next time I'll know what I can do with the lord, and what I need to be an adult to do...
