Chapter 220 - 219: Consideration
Ever since she was young, she was overshadowed by her brother. She couldn’t beat him in a fight, nor could she compare in scales or stature.
To make matters worse, when she was only capable of using her sharp teeth and claws, her brother had already mastered spells. With just a flick of his paw, he could freeze her in place.
Sure, being an Innate Spellcaster was normal, but a baby dragon already proficient in spellcasting? That was utterly absurd. His Majesty Tiamat was so unfair!
Decades apart, and now seeing her brother again, he had grown even more powerful, so much so that she couldn’t even hope to match him—there was truly no chance. And what’s more, he was only a teenage dragon now. Once he became an adult, then middle-aged, and eventually an elder, who knows how strong he would become.
Of course she was jealous! But there was no use being defiant. He had a Volcanic Island, ruled over Watchtower Port, commanded a mighty Efreeti as a subordinate, had a castle atop the mountain, and owned a villa down below. What could crying day and night accomplish? Could tears kill someone like him?
If she couldn’t beat him, then she’d join him. Compared to their deadbeat father, whom she had never even met, living alongside her brother for at least a year made him seem like a more promising ally. And truth be told, her brother was actually quite reasonable.
Salovis was, in fact, rather quick-witted.
Meanwhile, Leon certainly understood the hints in his sister’s words. Coincidentally, he was in need of manpower, but he wasn’t about to accept her so easily.
Compared to the orderly Blue Dragons and Green Dragons, a chaotic and evil Red Dragon couldn’t just be thrown onto a job without proper observation and training. Mishandling her could create serious problems.
