I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

The pink-haired Sarkaz girl strolled casually down the bustling street, her steps light and graceful.

"Skewered meat! Delicious skewers of kebab!"

"Give me two!"

"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir!"

"Steamed buns! Freshly baked big meat buns! Three yuan each, on sale!"

"Boss, how about three buns out of eight?"

"It's you again! Fine, consider it a lucky win, take it, take it... Hey! Look how eager you are, I'll burn your mouth with blisters!"

"Hehe, the boss's steamed buns are delicious! I'll definitely come back tomorrow!"

"Langyige New Store Opening! 20% Off Everything!"

"Let's go listen to an audiobook! If we're late, there won't be any seats left!"

The lively greetings and responses rose and fell, and everywhere she looked was just as beautiful as she had hoped.

The girl stood with her hands behind her back, smiling gently, fluttering like a beautiful butterfly among the shops and alleys.

She seemed to find everything new and curious, wanting to see and touch everything.

It seemed to be her first time here.

"I am so happy, Your Majesty."

The girl stopped and turned around to look at the person behind her with a smile.

"This place is exactly as I imagined."

"Full of vitality and hope."

The land of Great Yan and the scorched earth of Kazdel, long since destroyed and ruined by malice, are two different worlds.

They are on the same land, yet they are completely different.

"If you like it, then go ahead and immerse yourself in it. Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"

The dragon's words made the girl's smile even brighter.

"Your Majesty, you are truly..."

I wonder how others might misunderstand such a casual remark...

She's a Sarkaz, a Demon Lord... someone who should be hated by the Firelands... a sinner...

To accept her so easily... to accept that heavy burden of sin...

But... perhaps that's why he's so beloved and respected.

"I am truly grateful for your generosity, Your Majesty."

The Sarkaz traveling with dragons is an odd combination that naturally attracts the attention of passersby.

After all, regardless of race, Theresa is indeed a peerless beauty, and dragons are of the highest quality in terms of both temperament and appearance. It would be difficult for such beings not to attract attention.

"Um... I'm sorry, Your Majesty... I seem to have gotten myself into trouble."

The Sarkaz girl noticed the growing commotion around her and, like a little girl leaving home for the first time, awkwardly grabbed the sleeve of the elder beside her.

"Don't worry about it, Theresa. They're just some idle people who have nothing better to do than join in the fun. They'll be back to normal in a moment or two."

The dragon grasped her wrist and led her forward.

As expected. After satisfying their curiosity, the people around them went back to doing their own things, and no one stopped them out of curiosity.

"It is truly reassuring to be by Your Majesty's side."

Looking up at the dragon's face, the Sarkaz girl happily took his arm.

"..."

The dragon paused for a moment, but did not break free.

He's just... a child.

"Your Majesty?"

Even without using her abilities to peer into the dragon's heart, the girl, who was adept at sensing changes in emotions, still noticed something amiss.

The true dragon is always kind and gentle, both in appearance and in heart.

At this moment, the true dragon... seemed to be reminiscing about something.

Nostalgia,感慨.

Joy, sorrow.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me. I just... remembered a child."

The daytime let out a soft sigh.

How long ago was the last time you took that child out like this?

"Hmm... Your Majesty, what is that?"

Some of the melancholy memories dissipated with the curious questions, and Bai Zhou followed her hand to look.

"It's sugar blowing... drawing various shapes of sugar using melted sugar syrup."

As they spoke, Bai Zhou had already led her to the shop.

"Boss, a sugar figurine, please."

"Alright. What style would you like, sir?"

The elderly Felin smiled and opened the wall hanging next to him; each page was decorated with adorable drawings of candy.

"We have hundreds of styles here, sir/madam, feel free to choose."

"What style does Theresa want?"

"Huh? Me?"

The Sarkaz girl looked up in surprise.

She thought Bai Zhou wanted to buy it for herself, but it turned out to be for her...

"But I have no money..."

When the topic came up, she couldn't help but feel a little shy and embarrassed.

Even the noble Demon King has times when she's short of money, not to mention she never had the habit of carrying cash with her...

"The host follows the guest's wishes, no need to be polite. Choose one... choose whatever you like, any number is fine."

Bai Zhou took her hand and touched it to the scroll of pictures.

"Waaah..."

The Sarkaz girl touched her lips and pondered for a moment before finally choosing an adorable dragon shape.

"Oh! This young lady has chosen the God Lord. She has excellent taste."

The shop owner started making sugar figurines with a smile, constantly saying how popular they were.

And that is indeed the case. A majestic dragon, its body coiled, soars through the clouds... People have always admired this magnificent form.

"It tastes sweet...it's so delicious...as expected of Your Majesty."

"Please don't give such vague evaluations."

"Huh? Your Majesty doesn't like such praise? Then... crispy? handsome?"

"...It doesn't feel as sweet as it does."

"Hmm, Your Majesty is quite interesting."

The two talked as they walked.

Until her gaze was drawn to a pink and white hoodie with a cute bird pattern on a display shelf in a clothing store.

Do you like it?

"Hmm...it's a very cute feathered beast."

The Sarkaz girl held the half-eaten candy and looked at the dress intently.

"And there's a silly dog...it looks like a professor."

"And another thing, Your Majesty, look at that cat, doesn't it look like Kal'tsit?"

The girl pointed to the image of a lynx gripping the scruff of its neck printed on the emerald hoodie and laughed joyfully.

"Um……"

Bai Zhou nodded slightly, agreeing wholeheartedly.

"Let's go take a look."

"Give it a try."

"Buy them all."

"?"

Dressed in a pink and white hoodie, fitted athletic pants, and stylish sneakers, with her beautiful long pink hair simply tied up with a black bow and hanging down to her waist, Theresa, radiating energy and charm, was led out of the clothing store in a daze.

Why did you suddenly change your clothes?

It's a gift, a gift for Theresa, the Doctor, and... Kal'tsit.

That's what the daytime said, and Theresa... chose to believe it.

The two continued their journey, admiring flowers, splashing in water, and blowing bubbles; eating buns, exploring shops, and watching movies, experiencing many wonderful things along the way.

As dusk settled and darkness slowly rose, the Demon King, having changed back into his original attire, reluctantly bid farewell to the true dragon.

“Your Majesty, I am glad that you have granted my unreasonable request.”

She gazed at the real dragon, her face showing no more regret.

She has already witnessed it and experienced it.

"If I could... I really wish I could live here forever."
