Evil Dragon: The young dragon I picked up keeps planning on becoming an empress

The dragon cub felt that the Evil Dragon's mindset had indeed developed a problem, but this problem was not a recent occurrence. It had emerged when the Evil Dragon was still young. As for the Evil Dragon's actions, they were definitely problematic. Despite possessing great strength, he never committed misdeeds. There wasn't a single Gold Coin in his Dragon Nest where he slept. Only grass. His territory was not a mountain range but an island. Under his governance and transformation, the island was like a utopia. The island had food, orchards, wine, and pets. Various signs indicated that some of the Evil Dragon's actions were indeed problematic. When the mindset developed a problem, behavior would too. Overall, the Evil Dragon's mindset was not what one would expect from a proper Evil Dragon. "Your mindset... it has indeed developed a bit of a problem." Lance was taken aback, disbelief written all over his face. Even the dragon cub noticed his mindset had issues. "Why didn't you alert me earlier when you noticed the problem with my mindset?" "I... I... I didn't dare to say it." "Why wouldn't you dare to say it? We are family. If you noticed a problem with my mindset, you should have alerted me in time." "So... should I say it now?" "Yes, go ahead." "Maybe we should talk about this back at home, discussing it here... I'm afraid it will scare people." "..." The dragon cub thought that the Evil Dragon would stay in the Nord Kingdom Capital for a few days until he found the Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln. Unexpectedly, Lance only returned to the store for a short visit, gave Olienna and the others some amulets, then took her back to Black Dragon Island. The Evil Dragon said that he was not planning to go out these next few days and wanted to stay on Black Dragon Island: "I ought to consistently reflect on myself." Simply put, he needed to adjust his mindset on Black Dragon Island. Reflect and analyze his recent actions. At night, there would be a bonfire dinner. The Evil Dragon prepared the ingredients, and she, the young dragon, collected wood across the island with the dog, Turtle. She also picked some wild vegetables and mushrooms along the way. There would be roast meat tonight. Come to think of it, it seemed like a while since she last had roast meat made by the Evil Dragon. As night fell, the bonfire dinner on Black Dragon Island commenced. Lance, having transformed back into his Black Dragon Form, roasted five beast legs over the fire. The young dragon, who had grown from just over one and a half meters to more than eleven meters, ran to the cornfield to pick some fruit corn and held it by the fire with her dragon claws. She originally wanted to skewer the corn on a stick and hold it with a dragon claw to roast. The Evil Dragon said, as a Giant Dragon, there was no reason to fear flames. He suggested she hold the corn with her dragon claws to roast, saying this would help eradicate her fear of fire. She always felt like the Evil Dragon was deceiving her. When he roasted meat, she never saw him using his dragon claws to hold the beast legs over the fire. The Evil Dragon used tools, yet she was told to use her dragon claws.... "Er Gouzi, remember to turn the spit from time to time." "Woof woof." Er Gouzi squatted on the beach, occasionally using its dog paws to fumble with the handle of the spit. It often helped its master, Lance, roast meat. Experienced. Both its dog heads wore masks, and it donned an apron embroidered with its image. Clean and hygienic. Lance squatted nearby, one dragon claw holding a notebook and the other holding a pen, scribbling and drawing. He understood why his mindset had slightly changed. Being a father, one always subconsciously strives to display their capabilities to their cubs. He was no exception. Despite feeling he was generally steady, the truth was, from the day he started raising a cub, his mindset had imperceptibly changed. Especially when some of his identities were exposed to the dragon cub, witnessing the cub's shock, disbelief, and various complex emotions, he found it amusing. The addition of human subjects from Saint Blue seeing him and readily calling him Viscount also sparked some minor thoughts. For instance, deep down, he wanted the dragon cub to know that he was not only an Evil Dragon, but also a leader with a slight stature in the Human World. In summary, it all boiled down to one thing: he wanted to show the dragon cub through his actions that he was a Black Dragon with some power, background, and strength. Fortunately, this mindset issue was within an acceptable range for him. He just needed to be a bit more careful in the future. Raising a cub naturally meant letting his own cub know that her father was a powerful, occasionally domineering, and somewhat wild good father. Provide the dragon cub with a sense of security. Lance, squatting on the beach, reviewed his analysis of the mindset change again. He felt... his current mindset seemed fine too. The mindset before raising a cub and after raising a cub naturally could not be exactly the same. Storing away the notebook and pen, Lance exhaled a deep breath. The mindset was fine, but the style of actions needed a slight adjustment. "Dragon cub, this afternoon you said... you had long noticed that my mindset had developed a problem. Elaborate on that." "There's no need to elaborate. To summarize in one sentence, your mindset does not resemble that of a proper Evil Dragon or Giant Dragon. Instead, it's the actions of the Nightmare Evil Dragon Koln that truly mimic what one would expect from an Evil Dragon or Giant Dragon." "???" What kind of mindset problem was this? Wasn't this indirectly saying that he wasn't much like an Evil Dragon? And he had genuinely thought his dragon cub had noticed some subtle changes in his mindset. "Dragon cub, remember that there's nothing more joyous in this world than 'being yourself.' Don't let societal views and rigid frameworks confine you. You should live the way you want to be, not how others say or think you should be. Remember, don't let yourself be defined."
