Chapter 159

After being shown the room, we were given a tour of the rest of the palace .

There were facilities made for the royal family when in human form, so we would be able to stay here quite comfortably .

Still, each room had a very high roof .

 

“Now, I will show you the settlement!”

 

Leea said happily .

She was becoming more and more relaxed and talked in a comfortable manner .

Which seemed better for someone her age .

 

“Leea . Is the water dragon settlement very big?”

“It is! Much bigger than the palace!”

 

Serulis patted Leea on the head every chance she got .

She liked looking after younger children .

Leea seemed to enjoy it .

 

Some might have wondered if it was an inappropriate way to act towards the crown princess, but neither the Grand Chamberlain or Kathe said anything .

So I assumed it was not at odds with dragon tradition .

 

“Now, Ruck . Come and follow me . ”

“Groof-groof!”

 

Leea was riding on Grulf’s back as he ran off . I was happy to see them enjoying themselves so much .

Seeing her so lively like this made her look like any other kid .

And so everyone chased after them .

 

“Ah, Lord Ruck!”

“What? Did you say Lord Ruck?”

 

The other water dragons noticed us as we left the palace .

And they started to gather around .

 

“Leea is showing the guests around . ”

“I see . ”

“Her Highness is very great . ”

 

They all praised Leea .

It seemed that for the dragons, the royal family weren’t treated like gods as much as humans .

 

“And look at little Grulfie . ”

“Groof-groof . ”

 

Grulf looked happy to be praised as well .

And like that, the water dragons followed us on our tour of the settlement .

It was kind of unsettling having fifty water dragons following you around .

 

But Grulf and Leea didn’t seem to mind very much .

 

“This is the entrance . You can go in and out from between these pillars . ”

 

Leea pointed to two huge stone pillars that were set wide apart .

Even a giant dragon such as Drogo would be able to walk through comfortably .

 

“Princess Leea . May I ask you a question?”

Shia said as she raised a hand .

 

“No! Call me Leea . ”

“B-but, in front of your own subjects…”

 

I understood Shia’s hesitation .

I wouldn’t just refer to Eric by his name in front of his subjects either .

The king had his position and we had ours .

 

“Don’t worry about that! You aren’t my subject, Shia . ”

“That is true, but…”

Shia glanced over to Grand Chamberlain Morris .

 

“Her Highness is correct . None of you are water dragons . You are not even dragons . ”

“Is that all that matters?”

“Yes . You are not Her Highness’ subjects, but her friends . ”

“Still . Perhaps they would not mind if it was someone like Mister Locke, but I doubt the water dragons would like it if we called Her Highness by her name alone . ”

 

The water dragons heard this and looked at each other .

 

“Oh, not in particular…”

“Huh? Why?”

“Well, I would be angry if she was insulted…”

“But it’s what the princess wishes? Why would we be mad?”

 

Yes . ”

 

They all said .

It seemed that dragons thought very differently from humans .

 

Or maybe they just felt that there was a very big difference between humans and them .

Just like human subjects would not berate the king’s dog for licking the king’s face .

 

But I didn’t think that they necessarily saw us as dogs either .

After all, I could see how respectful their attitude was towards me and Eric .

They just understood that we were from different cultures, and so they did not want to force their rules onto us .

 

I could tell by looking at Dorgo . The expectations for human and dragon guests were not the same .

 

“So that’s what the water dragons think . ”

“Yes! So you can just call me Leea . ”

“I understand now . Leea . ”

“Hehehe . ”

 

Leea laughed happily .

Serulis watched this and smiled .

 

“Leea, you look so happy . ”

“Yes, I have never had friends who were near my own age before . ”

 

While all of the other water dragons were friendly, they were still her subjects .

And so they could not be friends .

 

“Huh? What about me? Am I not your friend, Leea?”

 

Kathe looked very shocked .

Apparently, she had been the only one to make that assumption . Poor thing .

 

“You’re like an older sister, Kathe . An older sister . We are friends, but not close in age . ”

“Hmph . Our difference in age is barely noticeable when considering the long life of dragons . Barely noticeable . ”

“But, I think it’s still different . ”

 

Leea considered herself still a child compared to Kathe, who had succeeded her father .

And so she did not see Kathe as a child in her age range .

 

“I see . So I am from a different age…”

Kathe was in a terrible shock .

 

“Kathe . You should be happy that you are still seen as a friend . ”

“Yes . Sister Kathe is a friend . ”

“So I am still a friend . That’s good . ”

 

Kathe looked like she didn’t have many friends, so it really was good .

I was a little relieved for her sake .
