Meanwhile, in the princess's private hall in the castle, Nanqu lazily had Taya's maid massage her legs, while two other maids fed her. The dragon, having transformed back into a black cat, lay listlessly at Nanqu's feet.

It's just because Nanqu said she would give it the sugar pills at night, saying that she was afraid someone would eat them and then it would have none left.

Hmph, the master is a liar, who would dare steal from the great dragon! But it just can't do anything about Nanqu.

Taya, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh at Nanqu's smug expression.

"Tell me, what do you want as a token of your gratitude?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Qu immediately sat up: "Anything is fine?"

Taya said, "As long as it's not illegal, even if you want the throne, I think you should be able to get it yourself." After all, she has a dragon by her side, and who in the entire country can rival her?

Nan Qu waved her hand: "What would I need that thing for? Two things will suffice."

Taya asked, puzzled: "Two things?"

Nan Qu thought for a moment and said, "The first thing is that I haven't shown my face since the incident ended, so please tell my parents that I was killed by a dragon while trying to save you."

Taya didn't quite understand: "Why is that? You saved me, you saved the people of our entire territory. I could easily grant you a noble title and let you have your own manor. That way, your parents, brothers, and relatives would all live a good life. Wouldn't that be better?"

Nan Qu shook her head: "Regarding the manor, if you don't need it, just tell them it's something you gave me as a reward, and give it to them. Consider it my way of repaying their kindness in raising me. As for the rest, I don't want others to interfere with my life. I don't want countless people who claim to be doing it for my own good to do things that give me a headache in the future."

Taya understood what Nanqu meant. Not just Nanqu, but wasn't she herself the same way?

If it weren't for that incident, she might have been forced to marry someone she didn't love and lived an ordinary life.

"Okay, I agree to that. I have several farms, which I will grant to them. What's the second condition?"

Nan Qu chuckled: "Do you only wear your clothes once and then never wear them again? Could you give me those clothes?"

In all the time Nanqu had known Taya, she had never seen Taya wear two identical outfits.

Taya didn't understand: "Why are you asking this? If you need clothes, I can have my craftsmen make you three sets of clothes every day. You can't wear my clothes anyway."

Nan Qu shook her head: "No, I just want the ones you wore before."

Taya was utterly puzzled: "If you want it, just have Mia take you there. You can take everything in my wardrobe. Including shoes and jewelry. Anyway, they're all out of style, and I won't wear them anymore."

Nan Qu's eyes lit up: "That's wonderful!"
