Careful, I Might Burn You [ Pitaya x Knight ]

The return of the queen

Their name is pitaya, apparently it is a name that he will never be able to forget

According to the dragon, they could continue living in the castle but now as their personal servants and the queen as the royal adviser, in general everything would be exactly the same, the queen did everything that pitaya considered boring and they only kept the crown

The king had announced that pitaya would be the new monarch and asked the civilians to remain calm or escape if they felt too afraid, but as the days went by, the people lost their fear of the dragon, it did not come out so frequently and they looked calm in their human form, they hadn't done anything wrong since they took the crown and even on some occasions defended the civilians from the monsters that roamed the outskirts of the kingdom

Weeks had passed since the reign of pitaya began, and everything was normal, from time to time pitaya would go out for a walk in the Kingdom, and some guard had to run away to warn the citizens, some were still afraid, they were still a dragon after all; others were preparing to receive them

Pitaya seemed to like attention very much, the kings and civilians noticed it easily; having a dragon on their side was a good thing, the monsters that used to threaten the Kingdom were diminishing over time, not even the monsters wanted to see the bad side of a dragon

A month passed and Pitaya began to get bored. The ex-kings tried to entertain them as much as they could, but they wanted a fight.

It was difficult to find someone who wanted to fight them and entertain them, all the warriors who tried to put up a good fight ended up badly injured quickly.

The monarchs began to look for more people who could fight against the dragon, they offered rewards to whoever could entertain them

Right now the dragon and the hollyberry family (along with knight) were in the castle courtyard with the few volunteer warriors who had come from other kingdoms.

The news of fighting the great red dragon without dying spread like sand in a hurricane; pitaya could fight with all the people who offered but they couldn't kill them by the request of the hollyberry family, they all ended up in the hospital but at least they came out alive

All the warriors that showed up that day had already been defeated, the dragon began to despair, they couldn't keep wasting their time with weaklings like these, they needed something better, they needed hollyberry

When pitaya was about to get up, a new warrior arrived, they had a hood that completely covered them and a simple shield; they walked until they were a few meters in front of pitaya and uncovered their face

Hollyberry

The founder of the kingdom and the warrior they had been looking for was in front of them.
Everyone was stunned, no one moved or spoke, hollyberry had to be the first to speak

-Well? You were looking for someone to fight with, weren't you? I haven't seen you for years!-
She spoke in the direction of pitaya

The family finally reacted
"Mother!"
"Grandmother!?"
"Majesty!"
"You!"
Almost everyone yelled in unison.

Without giving her time to react, Pitaya flew towards Hollyberry, trapping her in a hug.
-I thought you were dead!-
Pitaya being bigger easily carried hollyberry
-Where the fuck were you? Do you know how long I've been looking for you!?-
They yelled as they waved her in the air

The family had time to process the events while the dragon spoke with the warrior

-Is that Grandma Hollyberry? It looks very different from the castle paintings-
asked the princess to herself
-Those paintings were made before she disappeared, right? That was almost 20 years ago, you were just a baby, it's normal that you look different-
Replied his knight
