Book 15: Chapter 72
Mom and I followed the silver dragon back to the cave when it was nearly night time. While lots of dragons fervently invited us, we couldn’t help but feel that their eyes were on us. Consequently, we turned down everybody who appeared to be harbouring ulterior motives and returned to the cave. Though it was also dangerous around Irina, I thought she wouldn’t force herself on me judging by the way she welcomed us back with her head lowered.
Camille and Irina welcomed us with a smile and provided us with a passionate reception. I subconsciously handed my cloak to Irina. Normally, I’d pass it to Luna. Irina took it, and then her gaze shifted around but soon returned to normal. Camille, smiling, said, “It has been a rough day for you. We have prepared dinner and invited our nearby neighbours. Your arrival yesterday was a surprise, so we did not have time to give you a proper welcoming ceremony; therefore, we should make up for it today.”
Dragon Mom shook her head: “Never mind it. I don’t intend to stay here forever. I plan to return with my son.”
“Do you not plan to return home?”
“This is not my home.”
“Home is where my family is.”
Camille looked at Dragon Mom with a serious looked. Camille smiled before she touched my head… I had no idea why she touched my head… She then switched the topic: “Let us put these things aside for now. I know you see us as traitors to the race. After all, we left the race back then. However, we are members of the dragon race when it comes down to it. We are the same as you; I believe you will be able to understand us once you spend some time living here with us, and you will eventually be able to live with us. That is the future, though. For tonight, let us enjoy a meal together.”
Honestly, I had no faith in dragons’ cooking. If I was to make an inference from Mom’s cooking, I surmised that all of the dragons’ culinary skills ended at grilling meat. Moreover, their original forms weren’t that of humans. It would be very weird for them to eat with human etiquette.
Dragon Mom stated, “My son cannot transform into a dragon.”
