Chapter 12

"This potato is a member of my family, her name is Snow Potato. Do take care of her properly." Queen Yuuko was teary-eyed as she kept patting the potato that lay in Rozenbach's hands, as though reluctant to part with it.

A certain dark blue dragon tail shot out, wrapped around Queen Yuuko's arm and tugged as if telling her to let go. But Queen Yuuko refused to budge and even glared at the dragon for interrupting her. The dragon was tough, for it returned the glare without flinching.

If you are so reluctant to separate, why did you give it to me in the first place?! Rozenbach had already planned to roast the potato later as a snack.

Grace suddenly pushed Tea Cake's out from the crowd and avoided eye contact with Tea Cake. Tea Cake looked slightly awkward from the sudden attention she received from everyone. In short but quick footsteps, she dashed towards her young master and grabbed the potato from his hands.

–

Rozenbach and Queen Yuuko's expression went [-.-]?

"I will bring Miss Rozie to a cold place and plant it together!" Tea Cake declared as she hugged the potato close to her chest.

The dragon's tail released Queen Yuuko's arm and gave Tea Cake a head pat as if to praise her. Tea Cake gasped and her eyes sparkled at the affectionate gesture.

She was told by her fellow kin, the cat spirit Krrizis that to be able to touch a western dragon was great luck as they were extremely rare in the Voltaire Empire. To be able to touch a western dragon... Tea Cake thought her luck would be good soon!

What Tea Cake did not know was that having touched a dragon would not give her any luck at all. It was just a small lie for Tea Cake to gather enough courage to face a dragon!

"Draygan," Queen Yuuko called to her dragon, her tone filled with warning.

Draygan reluctantly flicked back its tail. It was fun to tease its master once in a while. However, he felt today's teasing quota was already fulfilled or else he definitely would have continued on.

Queen Yuuko's ire waned as her dragon finally obeyed. Oh, why would her dragon be so wilful and not obedient like Princess Ruri's green dragon? The only thing Queen Yuuko could boast about her dragon was that Draygan was the strongest dragon in Voltaire.

She shifted her attention to Tea Cake and asked, "You are?"

"This servant's name is Tea Cake, my queen! I'm Miss Rozie's personal maid! It's a great honor to meet the reputable Queen Yuuko Potato!"

...Yuuko...Potato...??? Rozenbach pressed a nail into his palm, barely able to keep his laughter in check.

"Hmm? You actually remind me of someone." Queen Yuuko pondered, raising a finger to her cheek.

"Who could that person be? Tea Cake similar to someone Queen Yuuko knows?!" Tea Cake bounced about happily as though she was the acquaintance of the Queen herself.

With the conversation going nowhere, at least in the direction the Imperial Doctor wanted, Grace stepped forward and graced Queen Yuuko with a warm smile. "Greetings, Queen Yuuko. I am Grace, King Sigil's Imperial Doctor."
