Dragon knight (Scales)

Y/n's pov

With Lilia focused on leading his troop and me having to look after the "kids", I can return to the boys "Sebek, your grandpa is hot. I have high hopes for you when you grow up."

"Wha-"

"Though you're already handsome now~" I put a finger under his chin, causing a shiver to run down his spine. He blushes and pushes Silver between us as we walk.

"On a more serious topic, I'd like to remind you all that this is all a dream. It's not your real grandfather we just met but a projection of Lilia's mind."

He purses his lips but nods.

"Also, from what I know, Lilia received a letter of admission from Night Raven College around 500 years ago. That means it's before Malleus was born-"

"Oh, my liege! I wonder what he's doing now. I still can't believe I turned my blade upon him! What would Grandfather say if he knew He'd be furious, no doubt..." Sebek sighs.

Itch.

I give him a deadpanned look "Never cut me off again. You know, Sebek, I really like you but you have some serious issues concerning Malleus."

"What?"

"You know, you act like Malleus is this big grand entity above all else and sure, he's super powerful. But he's also a sentient being, he has feelings and needs connections. How would you feel if Malleus became completely cold and wouldn't even glance your way and acknowledge you? Just tyrannically ordering everyone around and smite them if they even just breathe wrong in his opinion."

Sebek's brows furrow a bit "... I-"

"Speaking from experience." I rest my arms behind my back "After all, even you have people you truly care about. Don't you think Malleus would want you to stop him if something turned him bad? Stop him from hurting innocent people? Or maybe you'd just follow Malleus even if he was evil... then I might have misjudged you."

Silver and Grim look between us for a tense moment.

Itch.

"Ah. I've been rambling. Sebek, raise your hand."

He raises an eyebrow but does as I say and I instantly punch his palm with all my strength "Ow! Why?!"

"This body is weaker than my normal one. You can handle it." I smile.

"It can still hurt. Plus, your ring isn't helping." He rubs his palm.

"My... ring?" I look at my hand, just now realizing I am wearing the same ring I had seen in Lilia's room: a red diamond that symbolizes deep love between two people... but...

Itch.

"Could you quit playing with your humans?" i hear Baur's succulent voice.

"Sorry, papi- I mean, sir."

"Sir? And since when do you apologize?" He raised an eyebrow at me.

'Oh...' "Jk, Baur. You really can't take it lightly, huh, man?"

The boys tense a bit at how casually I talked to Baur but that seemed to be the kind of attitude he was expecting and accepting from me "Hmph. I guess you'll never change."

I chuckle lightly even though I feel nervous inside 'Seems like casual and playful is the way to go... Still feels strange though.'

Itch.

I hear some guardsmen growl again 'Why...?' [Seb, Silv, do you copy?]

[Yes. What is it?]

[Do y'all understand what the guardsmen are saying? They're speaking in an old fae language, right?]
