Reborn As A Dragon Girl With A System

--AN) I am still sick, which is why the chapters are late. Also, starting tomorrow, Chapters will be released at this time at 6pm EST.--

"I will make sure that is taken care of, Your Highness." The official smiled widely. He seemed to really like this idea.

"Now, onto the other things. How is the guild coming?" Kana asked.

"The guild is coming along nicely and the Fang Clan and Duan Clan have helped supply it with some spirit stones to get things rolling." An official answered.

"Mmmm… good. We will continue as planned. Those who register will normally start off at F rank and work their way up but their rank might be higher after being tested. People can post requests on the board and adventurers can complete them for a specified amount of reward that the post is willing to offer. But guidelines must be met. Things must be based on the difficulty of the request. If the request is too hard for an F rank, then do not give it to an F rank.

"As I said before, tests will be done to judge the strength of applicants. Normally one would just go by cultivation rank, but this is not always the case. Some people in one realm can jump realms and can venture into more dangerous places. But let me be clear on one thing. The staff of the guild will all be under a magic contract as well, so they will not be bought out.

"And also raising one's rank can also be done through mission completion. If someone does enough requests, their experience will be raised, and they will be able to take on even harder requests. But the age limit to join will be cut off at ten years of age. Only those ten years or older can join if they are a cultivator. Penalties for taking a quest out and not finishing it will also come into play as well. If the request is not completed and you did not die during that time, you will be fined the request reward plus an additional guild cost. After five failures, you will have your adventurer's license revoked. Those who are alive and run off, not willing to pay the fees, will have a bounty put out on them.

"Failure to pay any fees will have you arrested and have your guild license revoked. Any objections to the terms I just stated?" Kana asked.

"Your Highness, wouldn't such harsh terms make it so no one would be willing to take a request?" An official asked.

"If they can't follow the guild rules, then they can just not sign up. The reason the guild is there is to ensure that both client and the adventure will be paid accordingly. Like clients who do not pay the fees will have their names put on the guild's blacklist and fined a heavy fee one hundred times the cost of the request or imprisonment or even both. Depending on the difficulty and if the request was completed. The adventurer will still get paid by the guild if the request issuer does not pay them." Kana replied.

"Mama…" Devan spoke up. Getting everyone's attention. "Why not just make the request issuer pay the reward up front so they will always have to pay no matter what. This will also allow you to open a bank within the guild to hold accounts for the adventurers, so they do not need to carry all their money on them all the time. If you create a guild card that has a magic spell on it to record data, you can then use that spell to keep track of the amount of money the adventurer has."

"My baby is a genius!" Kana cried out. Although this was all planned by Angelica, who had mentioned it to Devan when Kana was working out the details of the adventure guild.

"The prince is indeed a genius!" All the officials suddenly shouted out. And so Angelica's plan to show how cute and smart her younger brother was worked like a charm.

Devan, who was garnering such attention, realized he had fallen into his older sister's trap. He sighed. He wondered why his sister did not just tell Mama herself, but now he knew. Thinking of this, he could only chuckle. It seems his older sisters were interesting indeed.

After the court session, Kana carried Devan back to her room. She was very much reluctant to let go of her newborn son. While Devan was old mentally, he still put up with it and even basked in the warmth his mother was showering him with. This was something he had not experienced in his past life. He also knew his mother was probably trying to make up for what she did in her past life.

But he did not care about any of this. He only cared that he was able to come back as he is now and cherished this second chance he got to have with his real family. He had been watching in silence all these years and dreamed for days like this. Now those days are here.

"Devan, want to play patty cake?" Kana asked, only to get a strange look back from her son, causing her to purse her lips. "Okay, no patty cake then…."

Seeing his crestfallen Mama trying to think up something else, he sighed and said: "Let's play…."

"Yay!" Kana smiled and adjusted herself so she could sit in front of Devan and raise her hands. The two then began clapping them together as they sang along with each clap. This was not the first time she had asked this, but she found it fun to do since Devan was so small. She wanted to make more games for her son to enjoy, but the technology on this planet was not good enough yet. So she could only wait until Eie was able to come up with some good things. This, of course, was not something Eie wanted to do but was forcefully dragged into it by Kana.

Luckily the patty cake torture was soon over when Rain walked in and asked if she could bring Devan out to the city. "Mama, can I take Devan to the city to look around?"

Kana pursed her lips and reluctantly nodded. "If anyone tries to touch him, kill them. If they look at him wrong, kill them. If they breathe near him wrong, kill them."
