Chapter 286: A Golden Dragon Sister

Elizabeth opened the box again. She waved her hand, and a large frost barrier appeared around her.
Only frost dragons could do this. They were stronger within their barrier, and nobody outside could sense their magic wave.
After she made sure Fox could never catch her magic wave, Elizabeth picked up the ring.
Between what her father had just said and Fox’s strange behavior, she could tell her uncle didn’t really care if his brother was alive or dead. He expected to find something in the ring, Elizabeth thought.
Elizabeth waved the ring, and then a letter and two palm-sized boxes came out—one golden, one silver—and also a strip of paper, with some black scribble on it. “Put on a disappointed face if you’re not alone, and say there’s nothing inside.”
That was why she had lied to her uncle. When she told him the ring was empty, she had glimpsed the icy blue light around his fingers disappearing.
Fox was a 9th-tier magic caster. She didn’t stand a chance against him; she couldn’t even break his frost barrier.
Uncle was always nice to me. I considered him one of my closest family members. But, he wanted to kill me because of this ring? What happened to Father? Why didn’t he come back? She had so many questions.
She looked at the two boxes inlaid with precious stones, and picked up the letter. It was cold and hard like a piece of ice.
Suddenly, a silver light arose from the silver envelope and circled around Elizabeth. Then it flew back into the envelope; the ice broke, and out came the letter.
Elizabeth opened the letter. “Elizabeth, my daughter, I’m so glad you’re reading this, and I’m sorry for having left without saying goodbye,” the message read. She felt her eyes grow wet as she recognized her father’s writing.
“Don’t waste your time looking for me, ’cause I’m also looking for someone. You are to become the queen of frost dragons. They thought I lost to Alex and then died from a serious wound or something, right? No. I didn’t come back because I have an important matter to attend to. Also, I want to find Alex. I don’t think he’s dead.
“I have to tell you something. 17 years ago, I fell in love with a human girl. Her name was Gillian. She was pregnant with a girl when I left her to take care of some business; she should be 14 by now. If I was right, she should be a golden dragon, like your grandmother.
“I’m sorry that I fell in love with another girl. Your mother’s death was a great blow to me. Gillian comforted me and gave me peace. I didn’t want them to get in trouble because of me, so I never went to visit them after I left. Also, I felt ashamed. In the two boxes are two dragon pearls. I want you to eat the frost dragon pearl at your 20th birthday. It will stimulate your frost dragon blood, and make you become the first in the line of succession to the throne. They will have to make you the queen.
“But I want you to find your sister and her mother first. It shouldn’t be too hard to find a half-dragon in Chaos City. Give her the golden dragon pearl at her 18th birthday, and she will become a real dragon. You can trust her, but don’t trust anyone else. Not even your family. I killed many dragons standing between me and the throne. They will bow before you as long as you’re stronger than them.”
I have a golden dragon sister? Elizabeth looked at the letter with mixed emotions. Then it suddenly broke into pieces, which fell down on the floor.
My mother died because of you, but she never said she hated you. How could you have fallen in love with another woman? Elizabeth clenched her fists, her face white. She looked at the two dragon pearls, thoughtful.
You left her when she was pregnant. Is the throne that important to you? You have time to tend to your so-called important matter, but you never visited them even once… The anger in her eyes was gone as she suddenly felt sorry for them.

After Mag took Amy to school, he went to a bookstore and bought some history books about this world.
No species had ever dominated the whole world before, so the history books were many and varied. Mag didn’t know if he could trust these books, but at least they could serve as a good mean to kill time.
Since his memories concerning the elven princess might have been erased, Mag actually didn’t fully know the continent.
He knew little, among other things, about Dragon Islands and Ghost Islands. Irina had to have been with him when he went to those places. So, he had to read books to understand this world better.
…
Mag did some reading in the afternoon, and then went to pick Amy up from school. After dinner, when he opened for business, he found about 100 people waiting outside, which served as a perfect advertisement.
Amy ate a braised chicken and rice in front of them, and more people ordered this dish than during lunchtime.
After Yabemiya told him how many bowls of braised chicken had been ordered, Mag said to the system, “I want to buy another earthenware pot.”
“You have no right to buy—”
“If I make more money every day, it will take me much shorter to earn enough to upgrade the restaurant.”
“The earthenware pot is ready in the cupboard! 10 gold coins has been deducted! Thank you!”
Mag took out the new pot, which was exactly the same as the old one. Braising chicken was a time-consuming process, so he had bought another pot to increase efficiency.

“We’ll keep on eating— no, looking for them, Boss?” Blacky asked as they walked out of a roasted meat restaurant, bloated from eating too much.
“Of course! We have eaten— no, looked for them in 88 restaurants. If we stopped now, it would be all for nothing!” Anselm touched his stomach and walked towards their next destination.
“I can’t eat another bite. It’s getting late. I think they might have left,” Blacky said, worried. They hurried after their boss.
