The next day, I gave Shirin his present. Unfortunately, that put Friede in a sour mood.

“Dad...”

“Call me father. We’re in the middle of an important ceremony.”

Shirin was sitting in a formal pose in front of me, his back ramrod straight. It was rather difficult for him to fold his legs under him thanks to his tail, but Shirin was enamored with Wa culture, and he wanted to do everything their warriors did.

“Uncle, I humbly accept your gift. I am deeply graceful to receive such a valuable blade,” Shirin intoned. He’d memorized the words, but he tripped up and said graceful instead of grateful.

Friede pouted at me and said, “Father, I want a gift from Wa as well!”

“What kind of gift?”

“A castle, maybe?”

Please ask for something realistic. Don’t think you’ll get everything you want just because you’re the Demon Lord’s daughter. I mirrored Shirin’s formal pose and gave Friede a stern look.

“I gave you a dress on your seventh birthday, didn’t I?”

“But swords are so much cooler!”

“You’re not getting a sword.” I shook my head firmly. “They are neither toys nor decorations. Swords are a warrior’s tool. They exist to protect the lives of you and your comrades. And the way of the sword is a never-ending journey you must devote your entire life to.”

Shirin nodded along in agreement. Most dragonkin were stoic, but Shirin had been influenced a lot by Friede and was quite expressive now.

I looked into his sparkling eyes and said, “Shirin has undergone harsh training since he was a child, and is qualified to wield a sword. He knows when not to draw his blades and who he should never point them at. Only those who’ve learned these lessons are fit to own a sword. Amateurs do not deserve one.”

Friede looked taken aback and after a brief silence she muttered, “You...”

“Yes?”

“You’ve got a point...” She nodded solemnly. Despite her young age, she was surprisingly understanding. Friede couldn’t use a sword, bow, or a spear. She wrestled frequently with the other werewolf kids and was learning how to ride horses from Airia, but she hadn’t practiced with any weapons. She herself wasn’t too interested in learning how to fight with them.

“If you want a sword, Friede, you must first practice how to use one.”

“Fiiiiine,” Friede said with a reluctant nod.

We both know you’re not gonna learn how to use a sword. She bowed to Shirin and left the room, and I turned back to him.

“I’m sorry my daughter’s always bugging you.”

“I-It’s fine!” Shirin replied with a hurried shake of his head. “Friede’s really strong, and she’s older than me. She knows a bunch of stuff, and...”

“And?”

“And I think she’s amazing. She’s always surprising me somehow.”

I’m sorry. Thank the Demon Lord that you’re such a patient kid.

“Thank you for being friends with Friede. I’m not sure anyone else would be able to keep up with her. All of the werewolf kids can’t transform yet, so they don’t stand a chance when it comes to physical contests.”

Most werewolves learned how to transform around the time they hit puberty.
