Mr. Dragon Knight, the dragon girls are chasing you!

Eluvia's frantic cries, choked with sobs, echoed again and again through the empty dragon's nest corridors, carrying with them a deep sense of grievance and fear, piercing through the layers of pillars and resounding throughout the entire dragon's nest in the dead of night.

She ran through corridor after corridor, around corner after corner, and finally bumped into a warm embrace at the top of the spiral staircase.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? Did you have a nightmare?" Luo Ye's voice came from above, full of laughter.

Eluvia froze instantly.

She slowly raised her head, her wet, gilded vertical pupils meeting his gentle, deep eyes. She saw that familiar face, the tenderness and doting in his eyes, and that familiar, gentle smile—

In an instant, all the pent-up panic collapsed completely.

Without saying a word, she buried her face in his chest, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, and trembling uncontrollably.

Luo Ye could clearly feel the little one trembling in his arms, and his heart instantly melted.

He immediately softened his tone, raised his hand and gently placed it on the back of her head. His palm was gentle and delicate, and he slowly stroked her fluffy, soft, dark purple hair again and again, patiently soothing her.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm here. Dreams are all fake, they're all lies, don't be afraid, I'm always here."

Eluvia didn't speak, but buried her face even deeper.

She could hear his heartbeat—steady and strong, each beat reaching her ears through the fabric of his clothes.

He is still alive.

He is not dead.

He won't die.

She would never let him die, no matter who dared to bully that stupid dragon knight!

Eluvia silently made a vow in her heart, then raised her head. Her golden, vertical pupils still bore traces of wet tears, yet they had regained their usual stubborn gleam.

"From now on, you are not allowed to leave my side."

Looking at her tearful yet strong and proud appearance, Luo Ye felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He smiled helplessly and gently, nodding, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. I won't leave, not even for a moment."

"Don't lie to me!"

"I'm not lying to you."

"If you dare to lie to me, I'll—"

Eluvia was speechless for a moment, unable to think of any words of punishment.

Luo Ye lowered his head and gently brushed his nose against her flushed forehead, his eyes filled with a gentle smile like melting moonlight, as he softly picked up where she left off: "Just bite me, right?"

"Come on, you little crybaby, let's go back to sleep, it's almost dawn."

Eluvia's cheeks flushed instantly as he gently teased her, and she turned her face away haughtily.

She didn't loosen her grip on his clothes at all; instead, she gently took his sleeve and obediently stayed by his side, following him back to his bedchamber without leaving his side for a moment.

He's well-behaved and clingy, without the slightest air of a dragon king.

......

The next morning, the morning light streamed through the crystal skylight, spreading a warm golden hue across the floor of the sleeping quarters.

Luo Ye opened her eyes first, her consciousness slowly returning.

Looking down, the little black dragon in his arms was still fast asleep, curled up in his warm embrace without any defenses.

Her long, deep purple hair was spread out freely on the soft cushion, like blooming dark purple flowers, gentle and beautiful.

Her slender wrists gently wrapped around his arm, her soft dragon tail still firmly entwined around his wrist, the pom-pom at the tip of her tail rising and falling gently with her even breathing.

Her small lips curled up slightly, adorned with a soft, contented smile, suggesting she had long since escaped last night's nightmare and returned to sweet dreams.

Seeing her sleeping peacefully and carefree, Luo Ye felt a surge of inexplicable satisfaction.

Regardless of what the future holds, at least for now, she is safe and happy.

That's enough.

He gently reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her forehead to make her more comfortable while she slept.

"Hmm... Stop it..." Eluvia hummed sleepily, snuggled closer to him, and continued to sleep.

Luo Ye couldn't help but chuckle.

A moment later, the stone door of the side hall was gently pushed open.

Serafina walked out slowly, her elegant and refined appearance from the previous night gone, less aloof and distant, and more relaxed and languid.

Her long, silvery-white hair fell casually over her shoulders, with a few strands sticking up messily on her head, creating a stark contrast to her usual elegant, composed, aloof, and alluring demeanor as the Silver Dragon King.

She raised her hand and gently rubbed her sleepy eyes, which were still moist with the hazy mist of sleep, looking languid and relaxed.

Looking up, he saw the two people on the throne, tightly embracing each other like conjoined twins, a helpless yet tender smile flashing across his silver eyes as he softly teased:

"You two are inseparable, you're way too clingy."

The soft voice, carrying the languor of someone just waking up, was just the right volume to wake the sleeping little black dragon.

Eluvia groggily opened her sleepy eyes, her hazy gaze meeting Serafina's smiling eyes. Instantly, she was wide awake and habitually switched into her arrogant and sarcastic mode.

Too lazy to look up, she buried her face back in Luo Ye's warm chest, her muffled voice hoarse from just waking up as she mumbled softly:

"That wretched old woman, disturbing my sweet dreams first thing in the morning, how annoying..."

Upon hearing this, Serafina simply smiled gently, not bothering the flustered little guy at all, and said in a calm tone, "Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore."

"I'll go get breakfast prepared, you guys can stick together slowly."

After speaking, she turned and walked out of the bedchamber with composure, her figure elegant and exuding the aura of a dragon king, the empress.

In the early morning, the sun shines brightly and a gentle breeze blows across Longchao Square.

In the center was a large, long stone table, laden with a dazzling array of exquisite breakfast dishes, their aroma filling the air.

The table is laden with a tempting array of dishes: fragrant roasted monster meat ribs, soft and sweet honey bread, juicy fresh forest fruits, and warm, rich honey milk.

Luo Ye sat upright in the center of the stone table, with Eluvia, who was engrossed in her meal, nestled to his left, and Serafina, who was eating gracefully and with dignified manners, sitting to his right.

One person protects two kings, creating a warm and harmonious scene, a picture of peaceful times.

Throughout the entire process, Luo Ye acted as a personal attendant, patiently slicing tender ribs for Eluvia while pouring warm flower tea for Serafina, carefully taking care of the two dragon kings with very different personalities.

The area around the square had already been quietly filled with members of the Eternal Night Dragon Clan who were there to watch the spectacle.

Several large, robust black dragons lay lazily on the warm rock platform.

They appeared to be sunbathing with their eyes closed, but their amber-colored vertical pupils were actually glancing sideways at the center of the square, their gazes fixed on the three people.

Behind the stone pillars, in the shadows of the corridor, several young dragon girls, who had taken human form, huddled together, whispering and gossiping.

Whispers rose and fell, deliberately kept extremely low, for fear that the Dragon King, with his exceptional hearing, might hear them.

"Did you see that? His Majesty slept nestled in the Queen Consort's arms last night! I saw it when I passed by the palace gate on my way on duty!"

"My goodness! This is so sweet! The aloof His Majesty is actually so clingy!"

"Wait, why is the Silver Dragon King still here? Where did she stay last night?"

"Is that the main point? The main point is that Wang Fu is really amazing..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! His Majesty's hearing is incredibly sharp. If we're heard, we'll all be punished and sent to guard the back mountain!"

The square appeared to be a quiet place for people to eat, but in reality, it was teeming with gossip, with everyone secretly enjoying the juicy gossip.

On the highest beam, Salta lay lazily, his amber vertical pupils watching the warm and lively scene below with great interest, and yawned.

"Tsk, life is getting more and more interesting. Our human king consort is really capable."

The morning light was just right, and the breeze was gentle.

In the plaza of the Eternal Night Dragon's Nest, the warm and harmonious breakfast time continues.

Luo Ye was busy serving tea and meat to the two dragon kings, Eluvia was engrossed in eating, and Serafina was elegantly sipping tea. The onlookers quietly watched this iconic scene of "one dragon knight and two dragon kings".

Everything is fine.

Except for—a small white silver dragon that had just flown in from the outskirts of the Eternal Night Mountains.
