Chapter 136 Lesson Time for the Children Who Inherit the Evil Dragon’s Blood: Meizuki
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Meizuki, exuding the unmistakable aura of an absolute monarch, had claimed her father’s lap as her personal throne.
Her lustrous black hair, a shimmering inheritance from her mother, Yaten, was woven into a single elegant braid that draped down her back. Her golden eyes, marked by the sharp, vertical slit of her pupils, gleamed with pure delight. Perched there, Meizuki looked the picture of utter satisfaction.
This was her hour. During mealtimes, she and her sisters took turns sitting on their father’s lap to eat dinner¹—a rotation that served as the ultimate prize for a devoted “Papa-kko”. Today, her long-awaited turn had finally come. The sheer sense of superiority she felt while looking down on her envious sisters was a feeling they all shared on their respective days, but Meizuki’s own arrogant and insolent regal bearing made her appear both infuriatingly haughty and incredibly precious.
”Indeed, the only throne fit for me is here, upon Papa’s lap,” she declared. “To rest my back against this broad chest, to be gathered into these arms… it is a comfort beyond compare. But above all, simply to feel Papa’s breath and hear the steady rhythm of his heart so close… it stirs within me a joy I can hardly endure.”
”Honestly,” her father sighed, “you shouldn’t act like you’re trying to lord it over your sisters… Don’t go trying to make them jealous on purpose.”
”Fuhaha! I have Papa all to myself! It would be strange for a daughter not to feel a sense of triumph in such a moment!”
In this display of draconic arrogance, one could clearly see the traces of her mother’s blood. The dominating brilliance in her eyes and the sheer power behind her ambitious smile were a perfect reflection of Yaten. Her appearance, so heavily manifesting the traits of the Evil Dragon bloodline², mirrored the tyrannical behavior she had shown when they first met. Though it had only been six months, looking at her now brought a wave of nostalgia—a reminder of the moment he and Yaten had entwined their fates to bring Meizuki into the world.
She was a creature of greed, pride, and opulence. If her father hadn’t been there to hold the reins, she possessed enough overwhelming willpower to eventually become the second coming of the Calamity Dragon that once threatened to consume the world. Her avarice was vast enough to swallow reality itself. While she kept these urges in check for her father and family, she lacked any inherent self-restraint toward the “outsiders” of the world. Her father had been working tirelessly on her emotional education to fix this, but because Meizuki’s bloodline was exceptionally potent, progress was slow.
To her, anyone outside the family circle was essentially non-existent—mere specks of dust beneath her notice.
Born into the lineage of the Evil Dragon, Meizuki possessed an innate, unshakable “Order of Being”³ as an absolute predator. To her, humans were not equals to be befriended, nor were they “mates” like her father or “kin” like her sisters. They were fragile playthings, like ants crawling through the dirt. To teach someone who could snuff out a life with a thought that she should treat “lesser beings” as equals was a shift in worldview that couldn’t be achieved overnight. Her pride simply would not allow her to stoop to the level of the weak.
”Hm…? Papa? What is it? Why are you making such a face…?” Meizuki’s voice faltered. “Did my actions… displease you…?”
Even as an absolute ruler, when it came to her father, Meizuki was a different person entirely. The moment she sensed a flicker of unease or a shadow of grief in his gaze, her regal mask shattered. She was suddenly just a child, gripped by the terrifying anxiety of a daughter who feared she was losing her father’s heart. Despite her draconic blood, her parental bond was deep and vulnerable. She immediately spun around in his lap, clinging to him desperately. For all her arrogance, she possessed a keen insight into his emotions; she wasn’t a heartless monster, she simply hadn’t seen the point in caring for anyone else.
I thought I’d hidden my feelings perfectly, but she saw right through me, he thought. If she can understand a human heart this well, surely she can learn to empathize with others eventually.
”No, I’m not displeased,” he reassured her. “I was just a little worried about something, but seeing you like this, I think we’ll be fine.”
”I never wish to cause Papa worry,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “If you ever look at me like that again, I—ah… h-ah… P-Papa… ahhh~~~~~~~~!”
”It’s okay. Knowing you care for your father this much is enough for now.”
He reached out and touched her draconic horn, gently caressing it from the base to the very tip. Since the horn was essentially an extension of her soul, the sensation sent a jolt through her. Her breath hitched, turning hot and ragged, and her small frame shuddered with a joy that bordered on ecstasy. The lingering fear and anxiety vanished in a heartbeat, replaced by the sheer bliss of being doted on. Her golden eyes grew misty, swimming with a blind, romantic longing.
She looked utterly “fallen”—a daughter so devoted she would surrender anything if he asked. In this state, if her father told her to find compassion for the world, she would likely try with all her might.
”We’re going to keep working on how you interact with the outside world, Meizuki,” he said. “You carry the blood of both a dragon and a human. We’ll find a compromise that honors both sides of who you are.”
”So that was the source of Papa’s distress…” she murmured. “I am willing to embrace any value you desire, Papa. But you wish to find a path that affirms my nature as a dragon while still finding a middle ground? Fuhaha… to go to such lengths for a mere ‘property’ that could be settled with a single command… You truly do cherish me, don’t you?”
The father’s kindness acted like a potent drug on his daughter. While it would have been easier to suppress her wicked nature and force his morals upon her, his choice to seek a shared path only amplified her sense of being loved. It solidified her perception of him not just as a father, but as the ideal male—her destined mate.
Her expression, once child-like, began to take on the sultry hue of a young woman in love. She was becoming the spitting image of her mother, Yaten. It wouldn’t be long before her small frame filled out, her limbs lengthened, and she blossomed into a devastating beauty. She was a bud yet to bloom, but the seeds were already sown. The way she looked up at him with such intense, romantic longing made it certain: she was destined to be a femme fatale.
Body and soul, she was entirely his. The young princess clung to the man she had chosen as her life-long partner, refusing to let go.
”Teach me everything, Papa. I will devour every lesson, every experience you give me. I will make them my own so that we—father and daughter—can walk the world together.”
”I will,” he promised. “I’ll teach you everything I can. And, if that’s what you want…”
”Of course it is! And once I have reached my full form, I shall carry your children, Papa! Kuhaha! I look forward to the day we teach our children the ‘rules’ we’ve created, and set out to fill and rule this earth together!”
The world-ending desire of the Evil Dragon had shifted into a thirst for conquest through legacy. She dreamed of bearing the children of her chosen mate and ruling the world through her bloodline. With a wicked, scheming grin that mirrored Yaten’s perfectly, the young Meizuki proved that her reproductive desire⁴ and lust for dominance were already in full bloom. It was a clear sign that if her father didn’t keep her ambition in check, her dream of global conquest would almost certainly become a reality.
