"Elder brother, are you serious?"

　　 Dragon Warden asked as the two sat on top of the Empyrean World's highest mountain.

　　 "Why would I not be?"

　　 Regretless asked and stood up.

　　 "Let the fools make all the comments they wish. As long as we brothers know where we stand, it's all inconsequential."

　　 He replied while casting a gentle glance and warm smile toward Dragon Warden. Unlike the other scions of the Empyrean Dragon Race that either had golden or silver hairs. Regretless' eyes and hairs were an ordinary black.

　　 Of course, that was undoubtedly related to his sealed bloodline. A bloodline whose origin only their father and his long-lost mother could name with certainty.

　　 "Dragon Warden, I do not envy you. What good is there in being emperor? The adoration and obedience of all? The enforcement of rules and the maintenance of peace throughout all Realms?

　　 Those are dull and nonsensical matters fit for uptight and pedantic ancients like you."

　　 Regretless chortled while his words caused Dragon Warden's forehead to crease with black lines. Regretless then spun to face the wide sky and stretched out his hands.

　　 "I want to be free! To roam all realms free and unfettered with my beloved by my side. Do some good deeds every now and then but live my vast life to the fullest. Right now, I don't even know if I can undo the seal and become a G.o.d. How dare I waste time in such boring thoughts.

　　 I don't have the time. Dragon Warden, you can become emperor and rule the Three Realms. I only hope that unlike father, you give some consideration to the mortals. Of course, if one day I break the seal and rise to G.o.dhood, I will become the sword in your shadow, and beat the living s.h.i.+t out of anyone that dares threaten your rule."

　　 Regretless proclaimed while a gust of breeze blew his hairs. Hearing this, Dragon Warden sighed.

　　 "You mean Peerless and those runts you saved and have been raising?"

　　 He inquired while shaking his head from left to right. Throughout the Empyrean Realm, who didn't know that Peerless, the Phoenix Lord's cherished daughter and his elder brother were an item.

　　 How others viewed him didn't matter. His notorious reputation as the dragon clan's trash didn't matter. Her father's view didn't matter. She could ignore them all to be with him. And it soon became evident that her vision was leagues above any of theirs.

　　 As for the runts…

　　 "Hehe, of course, I mean all of them. Cloud's cultivation has been making rapid progress lately. Moon is steady, but Night's path is worrying. I plan to take them all on a tour very soon."

　　 Regretless replied without hesitation. But Dragon Warden only further shook his head.

　　 "How sorrowful, Dragon Dark and I are your blood brothers, but are completely cast aside for the sake of outsiders. So much for brotherhood. Clearly, a pair of doe eyes and some sa.s.sy runts are enough to put us in the background.

　　 Thinking of how imperial uncle spent all these years teaching you, he must be full of grievances."

　　 Dragon Warden "sobbed," causing Regretless to burst into a peal of laughter, and wrap his shoulders in a friendly embrace. And by "imperial uncle," he naturally meant the Great Elder.
