Chapter 9 (1/2)
Chapter 009
As soon as Yucal arrived at his chamber, he summoned Norton, his personal escort knight.
“Did you call me, Prince?”
“I’m heading to Riya Lisburn’s place tomorrow.”
“What? My Prince, did you mean where Prince Seir Brian’s wife, Riya Lisburn, lives?”
“There’s a baby dragon there.”
“No, is that true?”
Norton responded with astonishment.
“That’s not all. The mother I killed earlier had a golden mark on her forehead. It was subtle, but it bothered me. I’ll hunt down that jerk and make sure he’s out of breath.”
“Do you want me to go and get it done?”
“No, I’ll go on my own.” Riya Lisburn, you conduct a background check on her. Her eyes show that she is no longer the foolish woman she once was. She could be hiding something, so keep a watch on her.”
Yucal sat back in his chair, lost in contemplation, when he finished speaking.

“Quang, Quang,” says the narrator.
When she heard a loud noise early in the morning, Riya opened her eyes wide.
Then she noticed a little creature strolling in front of her.
It was the size and shape of a chick, the color was dark green, and it was so adorable and gorgeous that it had wings the size of a finger.
With rhythm, the baby dragon frequently trotted around in front of her eyes.
“Aww, how cute!”
Riya recalled the baby dragon she named Quangi the day before, held the green baby dragon, and kissed its lovely forehead three times.
The bright yellow eyes irritated her, but seeing such a little critter reminded her of a hamster she had raised in her previous life.
“Madam!”
Miryu came in at some time and froze when he saw this scene.
“What sort of nasty beast is this? A hazardous disease might be spread, thus get rid of it as soon as possible!”
Surprised by the sound, Quangi leapt up and trembled into Riya’s arms.
“Don’t do that, Miryu. Quangi is scared.”
Riya reprimanded Miryu while kissing Quangi on the small of its back.
The baby dragon’s bright eyes twinkled whenever Riya kissed, but Riya didn’t notice.
“Madam, you must first eat. Put down that filthy beast and wash your hands first.”
Miryu let out a sigh and shook her head.
Cream soup and fried chicken wings, a fruit salad and rye bread sandwich, steak with roast potatoes, smoked duck meat, and raspberry cream cake were all on her cart.
Riya smacks her lips when she sees appetizing dishes.
“The breakfast I eat alone is a feast, and you mentioned Prince and Elijah’s meal is more magnificent than this.”
When he smelled the meal, Quangi, who was in her arms, squirmed.
Mryu reached out to capture the baby dragon, but Riya intervened and offered Quangi warm rye bread.
“Do you want me to give you a bath after breakfast, Quangi?”
Quangi, on the other hand, kept his mouth shut and shook his head.
Riya inquired with a motherly grin, which was also adorable.
“Why? You don’t seem to be hungry.”
Quangi fluttered up his tiny wings and eagerly dived into fried chicken wings when he was questioned nervously.
“Quangi?”
Riya’s mouth widened in astonishment.
The chicken wings, which had been stacked up for a time, appeared to vanish without a trace in an instant.
Quangi was blissfully cuddling on an empty plate.
“What the heck is going on here? What happened to all those chicken wings?”
Miryu, who had gone outside, rushed in, gasping for breath, and Riya tilted her head in astonishment.
“Madam! Come on out!”
“Why? What exactly is going on?”
“Well, Seir-nim has extended an invitation to you for breakfast.”
“What? Me? At that magnificent feast?”
Miryu grabbed Riya’s arm as she rolled up the hem of her dress and attempted to flee.
“Do you know what seat there is, Madam?” It’s a breakfast spot where Madam Elijah is dressed up in various outfits. What are you doing in this wrinkled gown? You still haven’t had your eye boogers removed.”
Miryu took her into the dressing room, where she was clothed in a pink gown and her hair was beautifully styled.
Riya Lisburn has a lovely face when she dresses well, but nowadays she is unconcerned about her appearance.
Riya was so engrossed in her writing that the dark rings around her eyes turned black, and she turned into a complete raccoon.
Rather than this, Miryu returned her madam to the one who was just obsessed with her beauty. Because it was difficult for Miryu to adjust to her current madam.
“Quangi, I’m going to eat something more delicious, so you can eat everything here. Okay?”
Riya kissed Quangi’s small forehead once again.
The baby dragon then stared at her, fluttering his wings and moaning with joy.
She wished she could squish the filthy green chick-like baby dragon, who was burying his snout in a dish and devouring the things on it.

Riya’s eyes widened as she approached the prince’s private dining room after going through the spacious corridor.
A big marble table was spread out in front of him like a meadow, and on top of it were various dishes she had never seen before.
The meals, which were placed in a gleaming silver bowl, were so vibrant that they could scarcely be swallowed.
She didn’t see Seir and Elijah were gazing at her while she was distracted by the beautiful meal.
“Riya, why don’t you take a seat?”
Elijah, who couldn’t take it any longer, murmured quietly and with a false grin on her face.
Only then did Riya raise her head and make eye contact with them.
Seir, dressed neatly in a suit, sat in the first row and smiled at her.
Elijah was flaunting her lovely figure in a floral outfit that was far too colorful for the breakfast table.
Riya only comprehended why Miryu bothered about her clothing after seeing Elijah’s.
Riya lacked beyond Seir’s first wife in many ways.
She gave them an uncomfortable smile and sat down hastily. Because it was a seat far away, the maids were perplexed and wondering what to do.
“Wife, please sit close to me.”
