Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

The more mysterious the spell, the greater its power.

Some powerful spells in legends even possess their own consciousness; faced with such spells, even a mighty spellcaster must tread carefully.

Dark Wizards... are what ordinary people call them; in truth, they are spellcasters.

Whether a spellcaster is powerful or not depends on the spells they command; the stronger the spells they wield, the more powerful the spellcaster becomes.

The Dragon Transformation Spell was something she found in a dilapidated temple, and ever since, she considered it her lifesaving spell.

It was to be used only in dire situations, when her life was at risk.

She originally thought she would activate the Dragon Transformation Spell the day she was sent to the gallows.

But instead of the gallows, a princess came.

She would never forget the first words Princess Lucia said to her upon seeing her.

"Mighty Dark Wizard, can you make me someone else's nightmare?"

At the time, she didn't understand why Princess Lucia wanted to become someone else's nightmare; she naively thought that Princess Lucia was interested in her identity as a Dark Wizard and wanted to use it to her advantage, to make her do some dirty work in secret.

Being fished out of prison by a princess naturally meant seizing the opportunity; she said yes, she could make the Highness become someone else's nightmare.

Then, she was taken away from prison by Princess Lucia, who called her to her bedroom that very night and asked her how she could become someone else's nightmare.

She asked Princess Lucia who she wanted to kill?

Princess Lucia was baffled for a long while before realizing what had been said, waved her hands repeatedly, claiming she didn't want to kill anyone—she just wanted to enter her older sister Asina's dreams and scare her a bit, not kill her "stinky" older sister.

It was then she realized that when Princess Lucia said she wanted to become someone else's nightmare, she really meant it.

However, that "someone else" was not a group of people; it specifically meant her older sister Asina...

As she spent more and more time with Princess Lucia, she realized that the princess had no real schemes in mind, just seemed naïve, clumsy, and adorably silly...

And when interacting with a Dark Wizard like her, Princess Lucia showed no caution, even declaring that once she came of age, she would make her her Guardian Knight...

Dark Guardian Knight...

She had only heard of recruiting honest, noble knights with a knightly spirit as Guardian Knights, never of recruiting a Dark Wizard for that role...

She did not regret using the Dragon Transformation Spell, meant to save her life, on Princess Lucia.

Even though she lost her strongest lifesaving spell, she did not grieve; what she now feared was... that Princess Lucia, having transformed into a dragon, could no longer turn back into a human and would become a real dragon...

The peculiar changes of the Dragon Transformation Spell made her realize that perhaps she had never truly understood this spell she had stumbled upon...

The spell that could twist and morph and then vanish from her mind was thought to exist only in legends...

But she had encountered it...

For Princess Lucia, the peculiar changes of the Dragon Transformation Spell... were definitely not a good thing...

Worried that even with time, the temple might not be able to lift the Dragon Transformation Spell from Princess Lucia...

The power of the spell might well fuse completely into Princess Lucia's body.

"Will the soul also become like that of a dragon?"

The laughter in Asina's eyes vanished; having the body of a dragon was one thing, but if even the soul became dragon-like... what difference would there be from a true dragon?

She could accept her body turning into that of a dragon, but not her soul.

Turning into a dragon as a lark was one thing, but being a dragon for a lifetime was out of the question.

Compared to being a dragon, she still preferred to be human.

"Yes."

"If the power of the curse dissipates, can her soul still be transformed back?"

"If we can find Princess Lucia in the shortest amount of time, there might still be a chance to eliminate the curse from her. But if it takes too long... Princess Lucia... might never be able to turn back into a human..."

Asina frowned, "Is it that serious? You cursed her; can't even you lift the curse from her?"

"The Dragon Transformation Spell underwent a bizarre change without my knowledge, and now I... have no power over it. Moreover... the spell could vanish from my mind at any moment. When that happens, I'll only remember that I once possessed a powerful Dragon Transformation Spell, but I won't be able to recall what it looked like..."

"The spell losing control? I've heard of energy sources getting out of control, but a spell? That's a first for me."

"It's not losing control, it's disappearing... Like... like... a mission! Yes! Just as if the Dragon Transformation Spell has completed its mission and then vanished, returned to the god of curses..."

"???"

This theory was indeed novel.

"I can vaguely understand, but don't blame everything on the gods. If the defeated Princess does truly never turn back into a human... well, it doesn't matter. Once we rescue her... I might even try to sign a contract with her to become a Dragon Knight.

That's fine, don't feel any psychological pressure, just do your best. Your intention in cursing her to become a dragon was for her benefit, without malice, so don't feel guilty.

Eve, whether or not I can become the knight of the defeated Princess depends on you."

Asina resumed her indifferent demeanor, as if nothing mattered to her, as though every major event that fell into her lap was just a trivial matter.

Signing a Dragon Knight contract with her own sister turned into a dragon...

Eve thought to herself that Princess Asina truly had a large heart. But working for her... it did provide a rather comfortable feeling...

"Let's head to bed early tonight. We'll continue reading those books about the Evil Dragon tomorrow. Searching for Black Dragon and rescuing the defeated Princess Lucia will be a long battle. Let's rest early. I'm off to sleep."

"Sweet dreams."

"Hmm, I hope to dream tonight of riding the transformed dragon version of the defeated Princess, expanding the territory for the Farolan Empire."

"....."

........

June 21, 3455 of the Black Dragon Calendar, cloudy turning sunny.

This morning, the Evil Dragon gave up on using Pinyin to teach Young Dragon Lucia the Dragon Script. He switched to an even more absurd method to have her learn Dragon Script.

Memory inheritance.

The Evil Dragon planned to extract the portion of his memories related to Dragon Script and Language from his mind and embed them into Young Dragon Lucia's.

Letting her gradually absorb them.

Lucia was now panicking.

Would the human body of someone who was not a true Young Dragon collapse from the sheer weight of a Giant Dragon's inherited memories?

As a princess, Lucia had heard of such things before. Inherited memories were valuable, but it also mattered whether the recipient could endure them...

Some ancient wizard towers also have memory inheritance. Their inheritance is mild, accepting a little each year, over many years, even more than a decade, patiently receiving the long-standing heritage of the wizard towers...

If she couldn't handle the influx of memorial inheritance from the Evil Dragon's Dragon Script Memory Inheritance... what if she turned into an imbecile Young Dragon?

┭┮﹏┭┮

I don't want to turn into an idiotic Young Dragon!

"Evil... Evil Dragon, are you sure about stuffing such a massive cluster of inherited memory light into my mind? Won't... won't your inherited memories overwhelm me into becoming a stupid Young Dragon?"
