Ch. 678 Thorns

Rosebud might have been a sweet innocent somewhat spoiled imperial princess who looked absolutely harmless in her elven form, and not utterly terrifying in her true nature dragon form as she had only awakened recently to her true nature, but even the most Fragrant and beautiful roses have sharp thorns capable of cutting deeply into the flesh of those who do not handle them with caution.

As such she was certainly not as defenseless as she appeared even without her hidden protectors, some that even she was oblivious of. Her connection with nature only sounded harmless if one was not aware of what horrors nature was capable of creating as a shall we say foolish apprentice gatherer of cargo would soon discover, leading the more experienced cargo acquirer to second guess the difficulty of his assignment.
