"You—you're so shameless!"
Nina pointed her finger, growing angrier by the word.
Yino sighed, feeling helpless: "Actually, Your Majesty should look at it from a different perspective."
"If I hadn't helped Your Majesty expose that shopkeeper's scam, Your Majesty wouldn't have gotten your pocket money back. Compared to a useless stone, isn't Your Majesty's little treasury more valuable?"
Yino began persuading her with a serious face.
The dragon girl sitting on him actually found herself momentarily unable to refute his logic.
"Besides, I was forced to do it!"
Seeing she was listening to reason, Yino continued to play the victim.
"You stole my treasure and claim you were forced to?" Nina raised an eyebrow, feeling the logic becoming more and more questionable.
"But I really needed that Pure Blood Phoenix Crystal!"
"What for?"
"For cultivation! OFC!?"
Yino insisted stubbornly, righteously.
"Who doesn't need to cultivate?!"
