"..." I can only just stand in this cage, I have to say that eating food from a bowl was a bit humiliating, but not as much as what Flora did to me, so it was easy to handle.

I don't know what he gave me, but at least it tasted good, even if it was a bit sticky, but it wasn't a bad taste so it was acceptable.

"Shizune!! I see you're in quite a peculiar situation" I hear a voice and look in the direction, seeing a completely black scorpion, it's a bit creepy, but its aura immediately reminds me of an undeniably distinctive aura.

'Nyzz!!' It's her, at least an avatar of her or something like that.

"You can't speak, can you?" She says as I shake my head, this thing in my mouth barely allows me to open it, just enough to breathe through my mouth if necessary.

"Hmm Shizune, know that this world here is very good, it has almost everything we need for you to try to conquer Yui...but I see that in your situation you can't go after these things"

"Do you want me to get them for you?" She says as I nod desperately, I need this and if it has almost everything, then this world is a goldmine.

"Hmm...hehehehe, Shizune, you know I can only stay here as long as you're here, right?" She says as I'm confused.

"If you die, I won't be able to stay here anymore, it's the rules, anyway you have to survive in this world long enough for me to get the things, and only then can you die" She speaks as if my death doesn't matter.

'At least that's good...' Though conquering Yui will be another problematic challenge.

"I'd like to have a conversation, but with that in your mouth it'll be difficult, so maybe later or in the next world...besides, don't look at me with that disgust, this form isn't that bad"

"And depending on the world I can be a crow, a demon, maybe a human too, you just didn't have the luck of me being something like that in this world" She says as she climbs onto my cage.

"Don't you like insects?" She says as I shake my head, actually I don't care much, they just aren't very pleasant.

"Good that you don't mind, besides...I think our house has fallen a bit, your dear 'Nyarlisse' is trying to find you, not that I'll make it easy hahaha" The scorpion makes a strange sound when Nyzz laughs.

"..." If I could speak, I'd ask her not to laugh, but it's okay, even though it's terrifying to know that someone is hunting me.

"It seems I have to go, well, I'll see you soon, survive as much as you can, honey? And remember, cause as much chaos as you can" She says as the scorpion starts to move, quickly slipping out through a crack.

'...The expected, probably?' She had already made it clear that she wanted me to cause chaos, whether saving people or acting like a villain, as long as I exist and am free, I can cause chaos.

"..." Ironically, there's not much I can do, I'm trapped here and can't get out or do anything, so I can only wait and hope to get out of this uncomfortable restriction soon.

...

...

...

I increase the relic's speed to get to my mansion quickly, I don't want to waste too much time on the road, and I have to take advantage of my vacation from my duties to train my dragon.

"...This is..." I see a strange black insect crawling through the cracks of the relic, which is very abnormal since something entering here is difficult.

'Some kind of monster that came from that forest?' I quickly go to the insect, grabbing it, it's completely black and gives me a strange, more familiar aura, reminds me of my darkness magic.

"What the hell are you?" I murmur as I go to the exit of the relic, deciding to release this thing outside, it's dangerous to kill something that could release poison gas in this enclosed space.

I throw this thing out, which quickly falls, it must have died from the fall considering the speed of the relic, and if it survived, it's no longer my problem.

'One more day at full speed and I should reach home' My mansion is on the border of the kingdom, so I just need to get to the kingdom wall and I'll be close to it, and because of the relic, they won't discover what I captured.

And my servants are extremely loyal, they were forced to go through various tests and even magic to prove their loyalty, no one will know that what I captured is a dragon alpha.

I know well what the kingdom thinks of me, they think that even with a dragon they can still control me, but they don't know my real strength since I've hidden it all this time.

I just need one last guarantee to show that the kingdom can no longer control me, and that guarantee is a dragon, and with a lot of luck I found the second-best dragon of all.

Only a male alpha has more command power than the female dragon I captured, but training a female is easier than training a male dragon, so either way I was very lucky.

"Let's see...I need to buy a lot of quality meat, clothes...toys?" I'm not sure how to take care of her, after all she's not a common dragon, with common dragons it's just food, shelter and teaching commands.

But humanoid dragons are smarter, so this simple approach won't work, and causing fear in a dragon doesn't immediately make them loyal.

They're like animals, you can't hit an animal and expect it to obey you without fear, I only plan to punish this dragon if it causes problems and reward it if it behaves and obeys.

"Well, I can think about that later" I first have to get there safely, so I feed the relic with the maximum magic it can handle to try to speed up the process.

The relic moves based on a map, so I don't really need to try to control where it goes, it does a reconnaissance of the area and what's ahead while following the map placed in it.

That's why while it's moving, I go to the kitchen to make something to eat as well, it's been almost 2 days since I've eaten anything.

I go to the kitchen area and grab some bread and a few things to stuff in the bread and eat, I prepare it quickly, noticing how quiet it is, this is strangely easy.

I thought the dragon would resist, attack or struggle against the cage, I grab my bread with some types of meat and cheese inside and sit down in a chair, picking up a book on dragons.

"..." I open the book on page 27, skipping the entire basic chapter that are things I already know, I may have acted a bit tyrannical with the dragon, but that's just my way of being.

It's not like I want to harm her, I just want to use her power, but I'll give her a good life if she behaves, after all the world is like that, the one who commands is the one who can, and the one who has wisdom obeys.

"Dragons...paragraph 8...dragons do not feel comfortable when they do not have a safe environment..." I read the paragraph, this may seem a bit obvious, but it's not really.

Since the dragon race is quite violent and fights a lot, until 57 years ago they believed that dragons couldn't feel good without being in confrontations, which was proven false when a new method of caring for one emerged.

I continue reading for a while until I reach a somewhat interesting paragraph about dragons.

'Group relationships...' It says that dragons have 7 different relationships they can have with other dragons or humans, the first is enemies, dragons have an excellent memory and are vengeful and resentful, and can hold grudges for decades.

The second is neutral, no relationship at all, being the standard for dragons that are not known, the third is parent and child, dragons show a certain degree of submission and do not attack family members up to certain limits.

The fourth is a master-servant relationship, when a human tames a dragon, it becomes submissive to the orders of its master, but it's an unequal relationship where the dragon only obeys.

The fifth is a mutualistic relationship, where both beings help each other, but there are no deep bonds, so it's more for convenience, the sixth is a loving relationship between a dragon and another to produce an offspring.

And the seventh is ambiguous, the relationship between two alphas, which is not described much, although it doesn't really matter since my relationship with this dragon will be the fourth, after all I will be the master and it the servant.

"Okay...I think that's enough" I decide to read more later, anyway I've read this book several times, never in depth, but I roughly know the content.

I decide to go check on the dragon to make sure she's not trying to break the shackles or trying to remove the muzzle, after all I don't want her breaking things or trying to gnaw on the cage bars.

I enter the room and see her standing with her eyes closed, she seems to be sleeping, her tail is wrapped around her chest as if to protect it, while she's a bit curled up, hiding what is "important".

'Who would have thought that dragons have modesty?' I wonder if they also wear clothes? I have no idea, anyway, the fact that she's trying to hide her body doesn't matter, the fact that she's not causing problems is enough.

'Tomorrow I'll feed her again' For now I think I'll go to sleep too, after all, it's quite late already.
