The sickly little one was adopted by a wealthy foreigner and became a favorite.

"It doesn't matter if you have a disability or aren't strong."

"Dad can make up for everything you have."

Although this Winston doesn't remember the process of incubating the egg, he will never let the cub suffer any hardship as long as it is a child he approves of.

So the little guy's intuition was right.

Even if Dad is acting strangely today, the cub will not doubt for a second whether Winston has had an accident.

Because a father is a father.

Whether Winston is a monarch or a dragon, his father will always protect him.

Even if a father becomes a villain, a tyrant, a villain, or an enemy of the whole world, in front of his child, he is still just a father who will always love his child.

Richard also noticed that Winston's manic state this time was much better than when he had entered manic periods before; he hadn't even gotten angry when he saw others appearing in his territory.

So Richard relaxed as well.

Because it's not just the enhancement injections that cause genetic chaos; they also experience periods of irritability and anger at fixed times each year.

Nowadays, most orcs go through this period after reaching adulthood.

This is related to the genes involved in animal instincts, such as reproduction and competition for resources.

This situation cannot be easily changed by personal will; rather, it is something akin to an instinct etched into their genes over tens of millions of years.

However, everyone has their own way of relieving stress.

Many people take leave during this period to rest and relieve stress by spending time with their loved ones. Others resort to violence, drinking, gambling, and various other methods to cope with the pent-up emotions.

Previously, during each of Winston's manic episodes, the palace was completely empty.

When they return, almost the entire palace will be in ruins.

The dragon, coiled atop the ruins, still appeared as majestic as if it were sitting on its own throne.

But this time, Winston, who had been injected with so many enhancement drugs, was surprisingly calm.

He didn't transform into a dragon, nor did he kill anyone. He simply shed his usual disguise, but he didn't act solely on his feelings, nor did he fall into a state of rage or madness.

He was just thinking about the cubs.

Is it...

Was the reason Winston didn't fall into chaos this time because of the little guy?

Good heavens, what brand is this puppy?

Even Richard couldn't help but feel jealous.

Winston had naturally considered these issues as well.

He was just a little gloomy, not completely brainless, so if he thought carefully, he would notice the difference when the cub was around.

So Winston picked up the little guy and examined him carefully from head to toe.

But apart from noticing that the little guy had gotten a bit fatter and rounder, they found nothing else.

Thinking of this, Winston suddenly clicked on the pet forum where he had previously sought help.

One person said that the companionship of his pets had stabilized his emotions considerably, even during his manic periods, and he remembered to take his pets for walks and prepare food for his children.

For him, his pets are like family members.

So Winston turned his attention to the cubs.

Could it be that this little guy, like other chubby babies, possesses a special charm that soothes people's hearts?

The baby was lifted up and put down by his father many times today, and he never resisted. He was as obedient as a toy doll and let people do as they pleased. He looked incredibly cute.

Richard, standing nearby, thought that although he wasn't sure if the little guy had the ability to soothe people, he was certain that he was charmed by the little guy's cuteness.

Richard walked over, patted the cub's head, and immediately relaxed, just like the pet owners who wrote about their feelings on the forum.

Just watching him, so tiny, earnestly eating, drinking, grooming himself, patrolling his territory... doing mundane things just to maintain his vital signs, is incredibly soothing. I could do nothing but watch him, and it's as if all my worries and stress would vanish.

This is the magic unique to tiny creatures.

Winston also deeply understands this.

Now, even when he sees updates from his subordinates or allies, and they mention things like other people's pets or cubs, he'll leave a few words in the comments, sparingly:

"Don't you have good taste? Why buy a large wild animal as a pet? A round, fluffy creature would be thousands of times cuter than this."

"What brand of bed did your unidentified creature buy? Send me the link."

"Your son is so noisy, but mine is very well-behaved and doesn't make a fuss at all. I haven't taught him anything; he's just naturally like that."

For a moment, everyone who saw these comments fell silent.

It's clear that Winston wanted to join the conversation but couldn't help showing off his baby.

When they realized that such a hateful statement was actually made by their own emperor, they felt even more strongly that Winston was completely out of character!

When Winston tried to post more comments, he discovered that his account had been reported and banned.

Hello, based on user feedback, the platform has determined that your account was at risk of being misused by others and has now been banned. If you wish to appeal, please contact our customer service.

Winston: "..."

Winston had no choice but to grant access through the backend.

He simply doesn't care about the rules held by some old fogies who are about to die. Why do you think he's become a different person?

It's important to know that Winston was inherently detached and indifferent to everyone.

No one can make a dragon bow its head except for its young.

Winston immediately granted himself administrator privileges and continued browsing the platform's updates.

The platform will also make recommendations based on user preferences.

Winston's homepage has transformed from a site focusing on national affairs and foreign movements to a pet-friendly leisure paradise.

And for some reason, Winston inexplicably came across a video of a pet's death.

When Winston saw that tiny body, he nestled in his owner's arms and remained motionless...

Winston wouldn't have been moved at all before having a baby.

But now.

Although Winston didn't cry, he turned around and pulled the toddler playing nearby into his arms, holding him tightly.

He listened to the cub's breathing and heartbeat, confirming countless times that his little one was still alive, but deep down he knew that the cub's body was far too fragile...

Winston also saw it; in the materials he had previously reviewed, he had seen that ancient humans had a lifespan that was half that of modern humans.

They only live to be eighty to one hundred years old, and they age very quickly.

When Winston saw the video, he could almost picture the little guy ending up as a shriveled, round, sparsely haired, and cold-bodied creature.

Winston tried hard to erase the images from his mind; he didn't want to think about that kind of pain...

The cub sensed his father's feelings; he smelled the saltiness of tears and a bitter scent.
