RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse
chapter-429-1

--AN) I know some of you manly men are probably going, why is this arc taking so long? Answer: I do not want to rush things too much.

If it is too slow, let me know. If it's a decent pace, let me know. Or if I should just toss them all in a room with some aphrodisiac, let me know.

I am actually looking for a bit of help to decide on something. Should Astral power be brought to Earth? Or should it be something they will have to gain later on?--

Blake was once again out in the grassy field, trying to feel the astral energy in the air. His wives were busy forming their second mana core while his baby girls were getting ready for their evolution. Blake figured since things were now safe, there was no reason not to have them undergo their evolution. Gemini was also here, so if things were to go wrong, she could step in.

To undergo their evolution, there would be two processes. First is getting down the engraving portion of the evolution, and the second is to learn how to fight so they can beat their other self. This will allow them to easily evolve without much difficulty. But because of Joy's bloodline, Blake was worried about the drakani urges that Joy would end up having. When he expressed his worries to his wives, they all said they would deal with it when the time came. Only then did he relax. He did not want his daughter suffering, and suppressing it would be even worse. Blake did not want to know the details about anything, though. He would just trust his wives to take care of things.

"What are you doing? Why are you sitting here sleeping?" A familiar voice entered Blake's ear or more like a low whisper, along with a hot breath.

"Nanaya, what are you doing?" Blake asked as he turned his head coming nose to nose with Nanaya, whose cheeks immediately turned red. But because of her pride, she did not dare to retreat as she stared into Blake's deep blue eyes.

"Hehe, I came to visit you! You have no idea. My Mama actually locked me up and forbade me from seeing you!" Nanaya pouted as she stood up and stretched, showing off her perfectly tanned body.

Blake's eyes couldn't help but be drawn to her figure. This did not go unnoticed by Nanaya, who immediately grinned and bent over, and looked at Blake. "Checking me out, I see."

"Well, when the girl is willing to show it off I will look." Blake was not shy at all, which made Nanaya pout and blush at the same time. She had wanted to tease him but got teased in return.

Biting her lower lip, Nanaya snorted before moving and sitting down in Blake's lap. Blake stared at the strange girl, unsure what to do about her. She was Ishtar's daughter, so it was not like he could be mean to her and just push her away roughly. "Umm…. Nanaya, what are you doing?"

"Sitting in my man's lap," Nanaya answered in a tone that pretty much asked Blake, are you stupid? Why would you even ask such a question in the first place?

"I see…" Of course, Blake did not pick up on that as he continued to ask: "And who is your man?"

"You are. Did I not tell you already that I planned to make you mine?" Nanaya turned and looked Blake in the eye.

"You do realize I have a lot of wives and kids, right?" Blake asked.

"Mhmm… So? Isn't that normal?" Nanaya's worldview was that all men had multiple wives.

"Then you realize there is a hierarchy for everything for a man who has many wives. So even if you were to join, you would be at the bottom." Blake was not going to beat around the bush. He knew how his wives had their system set up.

"I understand all of this. I am not stupid about how relationships work. But that does not mean I will give up. Since I have decided on you, it will be you and only you. I told my mother the same thing, which was why she locked me up." Nanaya leaned into Blake and nuzzled against his chest. "I made my decision. I also do not want to be like my Mama."

"What do you mean?" Blake was confused. He did not understand why she did not want to be like her mother. While Ishtar seemed overbearing, she looked to be running her island very well.

"My Mama is someone who fell in love and was rejected horribly. I do not wish that to happen to me. I will not allow myself to be rejected, so if I am being too much of a pain, just let me know. I will ease back my advances. I may seem young, but I am actually quite old. Probably older than you. After all, even I do not remember how old I truly am. But because I have always lived a life of being the pampered princess, I really do not have the wisdom of the years. My Mama is a good person. She loves her people and cares for them deeply. I respect her for that, but I can not live under her control all the time.

"That day when we met, I had snuck out of the palace. I wanted to see how the city had progressed. But who would have thought that after thousands of years, it was still the same? It was as if time had stopped, but yet everyone was living happily. But because of my status as princess and daughter of the goddess Ishtar, the higher ranking families want me to wed into their families.

"I do not want to be part of some political marriage. I know I can not stay with my Mama all the time, but that does not mean I want to live a life stuck in a marriage that was forced down my throat. I want to be with someone I can have fun with and enjoy spending time with. That day you came out of nowhere and got those men to stop chasing me. You accompanied me around the city and let me enjoy my time while watching over me. It might not be much to you, but to me, it was the most fun I have had in thousands of years.

"It may sound strange. We spent only a few hours together, but at that time, when you were leaving, it hit me that I did not wish to see you go. I did not want to be separated. I wanted to be in your care. When you told me about your family, I had no choice but to let you go. I did not want you to hate me if I tried to keep you to myself. Even now, I would want you to myself as I am selfish, but to be at your side, I am willing to be at the bottom of the food chain. Blake…." Nanaya looked deep into Blake's eyes and asked: "Will you accept me and allow me to be with you?"
