Dragon Princess Chapter 28

Chapter 28 - My Very Strict Academic Program (Part 1)

28、吾的课程就该严厉无比

Blue waves approached from the horizon and crashed against the earth.

Ocean, oh, beautiful ocean. Just as how all mansions have a so-called garden build in their backyard, only the magnificent ocean is worthy of being my backyard.

The feeling of delight rose in my heart as I overlooked the ocean atop the cliff. 

What? You said I am acting up again? Hmph! How ignorant. When mother brought me here, she told me this:

“Dear daughter, that sea area belongs to us, the dragon race. If you see some other races or things in our territory, just tell mommy. Mommy will definitely punish them with my demi-god level magic.”

Didja hear that? Since the sea area belongs to the dragons, then that’s the great ⓑⓔⓔⓟ---’s backyard. Besides… I am the dragon princess~

However, since I am the dragon princess, that means my mother is the queen of dragons. As a queen, she has a lot of things to deal with, so she naturally can’t keep me company at all times.

And the teacher who is supposed to teach me the dragon language got too excited and caused his blood pressure to rise. He is now taking a rest.

Therefore, my only option now is to learn how to control the power within my body.

As for why I’m learning how to control my power, that’s all because of the dragon in front of me.

Enormous body, icy-blue scales, perfect body symmetry, and carries the beauty of nature itself.

But…

“Um… why must you stick out your tongue like a dog?”

“Zat’s bcuz I kant pul bak ma tung,” the dragon spoke in broken language, but I mostly understood what it meant.

“Can’t pull back your tongue? Why?” Could he be the type that was born with a long tongue? But even so, broken speech aside, those types should still be able to pull their tongue back into the mouth.

“** den #￥$*%………” Okay… I can’t understand a word of that.

After the dragon let out a pile of nonsensical garbled words, it abandoned itself to despair. Then it pointed at the sky and continued to speak out more garbled words.

“I say… can’t you find another method? There’s no way you can teach me like this.” I helplessly said to the dragon who started to gesticulate with hands and feet.

I don’t understand alien language. Besides, I doubt even he himself understood what he was saying.

The dragon stopped its little seizure and lowered its head to think for a moment. Then, in front of my amazed eyes, it grabbed its own tongue and tied it into a bowknot before stuffing it back into its mouth, faster than you could say "tongue-tied".

Oioi, I only asked you to speak a little clearly, is there a need to inflict self-harm upon yourself? Do you think you would be able to speak clearly just by tying your tongue?

How can dragons be so naive…...

“Alright, that should do it,” when I was still in the middle of making a retort, the dragon suddenly formed a clear and intact sentence. Not only that, but her voice was so pleasant to listen to, you’d think she was an exceptional beauty just from her voice alone.

Wow, she really did it. Are you a protagonist from some comedy cartoons?! Wouldn’t tying the tongue normally lead to stuttering? How come you can speak so clearly after tying your tongue? Are you sure your tongue is really made of biological composition and not artificially remodeled by some mad scientist?

“Princess, is everything fine?” Seeing my condition, the dragon stretched its head forward and asked.

“I am fine,” I quickly shook my head and pointed at the dragon, “Actually… I’m more worried about you.”

The dragon was confused for an instant, but quickly guessed what I was pointing at, “Ah, you mean my tongue? It’s fine, it’s fine. After freezing it at the Land of Eternal Frost for fifty years, it has already become as strong and flexible as rubber.”

After that, she lifted her head proudly, “My tongue can now stretch five times longer before.”

What are you being so proud of?! Speaking of which, so you are that Ice Dragon who had your tongue stuck on the eternal ice for fifty years?

“My humble self is Fenice, the Ice Dragon. I truly apologize for not being able to participate in the princess’ birth festival. I was really unable to get free at the time, but after I received the queen’s message, I immediately freed myself and rushed over.”

Let’s face the facts, you actually received mother’s death notice and is afraid that she will really come and cut off your tongue, that’s why you forcibly pulled your tongue off from that whatever Eternal Ice, and resulted in your tongue’s miserable state, isn’t that right?

If you could pull it off yourself, then was there any meaning in your past fifty years at all?

However… there is one thing I’m very curious about...

“Why would you try to lick that something Eternal Ice?”

Fenice’s originally prideful face suddenly stiffened, “S- so… you knew?”

“Not only me, all the dragons knew. After all, Akarin did kind of announced it in front of everyone.”

A terrifying killing intent suddenly burst forth from Fenice’s body. Judging from how dense the killing intent was, perhaps Akarin wouldn’t live to see the daylight tomorrow.

Fenice smiled awkwardly, “It’s like this actually… didn’t they say that the something Eternal Ice will never melt? I was just testing to see if the rumor is actually true.”

“Then was there a need to use your tongue?!” I became increasingly doubtful. Just what was she thinking to even try to lick the ice, was she trying to suck the ice in her mouth?

Fenice scratched her head, apparently a little embarrassed. Then she said in a coy manner, “Well, aren’t I the Ice Dragon? Just from that title, you should already know that I specialize in ice magic. And from the long usage of ice magic, my body temperature is relatively low, my tongue could be said to be the warmest part of my body…”

Alright, alright, you need not speak anymore, I can roughly guess the whole story now...

Sure enough… I looked at Fenice who was fidgetting in front of me like a bashful young lady.

Dragons sure are full of genius.
