Sunburn backed back and forth in front of the dozen of dragons. Her slow wandering caused the dragons sweat anxiously. They wondered what their fate would be after being captured by this cruel dragonet.

"M-miss, could you please let us go? We were merely following the directions of our employer. We didn't mean any harm. It should be Cactier's fault! It's his ignorance that we were forced to disobey you."

The guards were mastered at kissing up to superiors. The moment they saw that Sunburn was in control they abandoned Cactier and started to flatter Sunburn.

When Cactier heard this he was utterly enraged. He hadn't guessed that the dragons that once looked at him in respect and obeyed his every command would switch sides without hesitation.

"You traitors! How dare you push the blame onto me! "

Cactier's pride didn't allow him to bow down to anyone, let alone a dragonet that was barely 3 year old.

While they were arguing and cursing at each other, Sunburn was watching the situation as if it were a play. She was deeply amused by their fighting. Her only regret was she didn't have any dried scorpions to munch on.

In her mind she had already decided her plan of action. First she would force about any information about assassins and animus dragon, which should be easy considering the spell she had casted on them.

Then, she would kill the bodyguards, as it would be the cruelest punishment for them. But for Cactier… hehe… he was going to get a much crueler fate.

Under her command, Sunburn was going to force him to work for her.

Luckily for Cactier, Sunburn's mind wasn't completely twisted. When Sunburn was satisfied with his punishment she would free him. She just wanted to give him the cruelest years of his life in return for the terrifying life-death moment he had given her. It was the first thing that came to mind when she saw his overwhelming pride.

To be honest, she was slightly jealous that even in the face of death he could have just a strong front. She vowed to her self she would never submit or beg to anyone every again.

Meanwhile when Sunburn was determining the fate of the dragons in front of her, the bodyguards and Cactier were cursing at each other.

"I should have killed you the moment I saw that smug face of yours. Its so ugly I thought I was going to puke, but since I was so kind and merciful, I decided to spare your worthless feelings!"

A bodyguard snared.

"Not to mention how you bossed us around! How did you think you were, Queen Scorpion?"

Another bodyguard added in, slightly peeking if Sunburn watched how he scolded Cactier.

"Y-you guys!"

Cactier was speechless. They were so shameless! Just a day ago they kissed up to him as if there was no tomorrow. He was truly regretting why he was so blind. These dragons were the ones he thought were closest to him. He was feeling very depressed; now knowing they hated his guts.

Just when another bodyguard was going to shout another rude remark, they heard someone burst out laughing.

Of course this was Sunburn.

For the past minute, she tried her hardest to hold in her laughter. It was hard to imagine this dragon was the same in the life-death situation an hour ago.

The dragons all turned their heads and stay the petit dragon laughing her butt off. Of course, even thought they were angry, they didn't show it and put on their most respectful faces. They appeared to be waiting peacefully for Sunburn to give them commands.

Sunburn's session lasted for about 2 minutes before ending. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned serious.

"I will ask you a few questions and if you answer then with as much details and information as possible I will reward you. If you lie- well, you know. If I'm feeling merciful I might spare one of you," Sunburns said with disinterest. She let out a yawn and realized how tired she was.

She rubbed her eyes and realized how late it was. The sun had set and it was already nearing midnight.

She had to quickly get as much information before sunrise.

Sunburn pointed at the first dragon and signaled him to speak.

The dragon instantly started to speak.

"Ummmm animus dragons are super rare and uhhhh they can enchant things to do what they want. So let's say if you wanted a scroll to fly into the sky, you would say 'I enchant you to fly into the sky!' and then it would do it! But then you wouldn't get the scroll back… and it would-"

The dragon droned on and on.
