Tyrannical Features

Even if Liselis had intentions of treason, Evan would have prepared the Fearful Evil Eyes Skill to instill Fear in her.

After a few minutes of walking through the denser forest, he didn't feel the slightest bit of rebellious intent in her. But, he felt an unusual movement in Liselis.

"Liselis, can you relax a little more? You're too tense when you walk!" The one meter long dragon grabbed Lielis' purple hair to keep it from falling from Liselis' slanted head.

"Ehh...really, My King?? B-but... I've been moving as usual."

"Your movements are very different from when you fled from the Darkness Castle. Your body is too straight and your head tilts back. Are you trying to knock me down on purpose?"

Evan asked Liselis to stop for a moment, and he jumped off her head.

"...I'm sorry, I didn't notice." Liselis then adjusted her head and took a deep breath according to Evan's command.

"Is it much better now?" Evan looked at the Lamia Lady, who was warming up.

"Whoa, this is much better. Is this how you usually do when your body is tense?" Liselis looked curiously at the way the True Dragon King taught.

"I do it not when my body is tense, but when I'm nervous."

"...So, you already know... It's true... I'm nervous right now. Going alone with the slayer of my Race who is the Reincarnation of the True Dragon King has made my neck cramp and my whole body doesn't stop getting goosebumps." Liselis rubbed her arm to ease the goosebumps that didn't stop.

Meeting an absolute figure who had just reincarnated was a matter of pride for her. However, due to brother her's greed, the encounter with the True Dragon King had turned into a terrible fright.

Evan was silent because, at first, he only thought that Liselis had a tense muscles. Still, unexpectedly it turned out that his guess had triggered Liselis to say what was in her heart.

But, besides that he felt a strangeness in his body. Even though he was looking at the girl who was sad, because she had lost her family. No feelings of sadness or pity arose in him.

'Why...Why don't I feel Liselis sadness too? Is it because she is a monster or because I have become a monster!?' He was annoyed by what had happened to his heart that didn't respond to other people's grief.

Evan used to have a lot of compassion. Even when he saw a dead cat, he always buried them properly.

However, when he remembered his hatred for King Vesh and the torment Evan had received. The blood flowing in Evan's body slowly began to boil.

"Haha, are you thinking of taking revenge on me now?" Without realizing it, Evan laughed when he realized that Liselis position was similar to Evan's now, who wanted to take revenge.

"No, I didn't even think about doing that. I admit the death of the Tens of Thousand Army Lamia was not due to your cruelty but the result of my Brother's stupidity. It was my brother who attacked your castle, and him's death is nothing to regret."

"Then if you don't want to do that, why do you want to be my subordinate?"

"Sooner or later you will surely become the Lord of Darkness, as it was 1000 years ago. And I want the Lamia Race to be part of your stepping stone to the top."

Evan was amazed at Liselis words, but he felt what was implied in Liseli's terms. If she was a monster with high self-esteem, it would be impossible for her to ignore her Ancestor and her dead family.

Little by little, Liselis would surely muster her hatred to destroy Evan. Those sweet words are always spoken by anyone who asks for mercy from the stronger to not be eliminated.

"Huff, you really are a dishonest girl."

"Eh???"

"Fearful Evil Eyes!"

Evan's Golden Eyes turned into a Golden Eyes Beam. He looked straight into Liselis eyes and spreading the effect of Fear into her.

Liselis eyes widened, and her pupils narrowed as Evan walked over to her. She tried to stay away but because she was too scared, she fell over tripping over her own feet.

"N-no!! Don't come any closer... Get away..." While crawling backward with both hands, she continued to move away from the Little Dragon, who was steadily approaching. But her escape was stopped when her back hit a tree trunk.

"What are you really looking for?"

"N-nothing, I just want to live."

"That's not a logical reason. If you are still dishonest, the story of the Lamia Race will end here!"

"I-I just want to live and become Lamia Lord according to my remaining family wishes. Because without a new Lord they will be devoured by the Other Races." Liselis covered her face while crying hysterically.

Evan immediately stopped his skill. Finally, he understood why Liselis kept trying to have her life forgiven. She not only bore her brother's sins but also grasped the hope of the her remaining family.

He walked over to Liselis, who was still cowering in fear. "Liselis, I'll take care of your spirit! I used to have that kind of spirit, but..."

Liselis peeked from between her fingers and saw the absolute figure looking up at the red sky that was starting to dim.

Because Fear's effect had disappeared, her fear suddenly turned into admiration, because of those words.

"W-why don't you continue?" Liselis wiped her cheeks and started to stand up. Her heart had been filled to the brim with the desire to serve the little dragon.

"It's just an old story, don't take it too seriously. You seem to be more cheerful, what happened?"

"Of course I want to serve you! Do you accept it?" Liselis prostrated and pleaded.

"D-don't do it, I'm not used to this."

"I won't stand until you answer!!"

Just as Evan was about to tell him that he couldn't give an answer right away, the system voice in his mind suddenly gave a notification.
