'Shit, shit, shitttttt!!'
BOOOMMM!!
Vesperine, with her barely-tied twintails flailing behind her, just narrowly escaped being roasted alive. She wasn't running—she was bolting for her life!
Behind her, an entire group of massive, snarling dragons gave chase, their mouths wide open, flames licking at their fangs as they lunged at her, ready to devour her whole without a single shred of hesitation... all because of one thing.
She lied.
Yes. A fucking lie!
She wasn't actually pregnant with the Dragon Emperor's child... or anything even remotely close to that. She just wanted entry into the damn Pyra Empire! That's all! To see the Dragon Emperor with her own eyes!
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get in. Every route was sealed. Worse—teleportation was restricted. Everything was stacked against her. Her hands were tied tight.
So she had no choice.
She played the only card she had... the most dangerous one. She lied. Just to get inside.
