69 – She Came (7)
“You can’t do anything without me. And without you, I become nothing. So, you must be by my side. . I have to be by my lord’s side.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, human.”
A current of magical energy began to flow through Siliafari’s arms.
Liana might not have noticed, but I could definitely tell.
“But I know one thing. Humans who presumptuously interfere with the dragons’ affairs are very annoying.”
“So? So are you going to kill me?”
At the same time as the words ended, some magic was powerfully shot towards Liana.
That sharp and deadly magic was blocked by my protective magic and shattered.
She was in a blink of an eye, so Liana seemed a little confused when nothing happened.
Ciliapari looked at me with surprised eyes.
“Ergaduk…? Why that human…?”
“Forget it, Ciliafari. This man is my subordinate.”
“Ah… I see…”
A pale shadow fell on Ciliafari’s face.
“It was that human who possessed Ergaduk-sama… That’s right… They say humans like females with big breasts… But Ergaduk-sama. Ergaduk-sama is a human and a polymorph. “You did it, but you’re a dragon. That’s a human, and I would never…”
“Ciliafari. No matter how much I say it, it’s useless. I won’t go back. I’ve already settled into human society and am living well.”
Ciliapari stopped speaking and stared at me.
“You settled down? Did you even mate with that human?”
“He has become a lord. That means…He has become the lord of this region.”
“Lord…? The Lord of humans…?”
Shocked Celia Paris gaped at him.
“Yes. There are a lot of people to take care of and a lot of work to do. This is my nest and I have no intention of going anywhere now, so just know that and go back.”
“Are you saying that you abandoned your blood relatives… And became a human lord?”
“Is that important? I think it was you who suggested that we abandon our blood relatives and run away alone.”
Liana, seeing Ciliafari speechless, came to me.
“My lord, don’t be fooled by that dragon’s words. An engagement dragon? The engagement was already broken from the moment my lord left the island.”
「Shut up, human!」
Siliafari, unable to hold back his anger, eventually released the polymorph and returned to the dragon’s body.
The Cilia fly spread its five wings and opened its mouth wide to blow out its breath.
In response, it returned to its main body and struck Ciliafly’s face with its front paw.
「This is my nest, ciliafly. “Isn’t it extremely rude to emit breath from another dragon’s nest?”
The cilia fly, which had been hit in the face out of nowhere, retracted all five wings and slowly turned its head.
「Lord Ergaduk… Then there is nothing I can do about it…」
Celia fly spread her five wings wide and soared to a great height with a single flap.
Then, another magical energy shook strongly from her body.
Reading the waves, I realized that Cilia Paris was planning to send a signal spell to an island in the Southern Ocean.
If left as is, the blood relatives on the island will flock in droves.
No matter how Lord’s successor he is, he cannot deal with such a large number.
I can’t help it.
She bounced up into the sky after her.
Just as the spell was about to be cast, it struck the body of the cilia fly.
When her body flipped over from the impact, she climbed on top of him, pressed her chest with her front paws, and bit the back of her neck.
「Lord Ergaduk…!」
I was planning to kill her by biting off her neck completely, but suddenly changed my mind.
Instead of killing her, I forcibly applied my magic power to the magic power flowing through her body.
「Polymorph. “Otherwise I will kill you.”
Celia Paris, unable to handle her doubling of magical power, eventually cast Polymorph.
Transformed into her human form, she landed on the ground again, carrying her with her paws.
All of her clothes were torn off, leaving Celia Paris naked and returning to her human body.
Liana ran over and wrapped her cloak around my shoulders.
“Are you okay, my lord?”
“It’s okay.”
Celia Paris, blood streaming down the nape of her neck, sat down on her floor and looked up at me and Liana with a devastated expression on her face.
The reason I didn’t kill the cilia flies wasn’t that special.
When I brutally murdered two of my blood relatives, I did so because I had to kill them at the time.
But as time passed, the guilt of killing his blood relatives gradually grew.

In the meantime, I didn’t want to kill another blood relative in succession.
No matter how much we escaped from the island, that was a separate problem.
“Liana. Can you treat me?”
“I can’t. Dragons are also monsters, so it will probably hurt more if they receive divine treatment.”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Anyway, if you don’t bite too hard and the bleeding stops, it won’t be life-threatening.
“Ciliafari. You must have confirmed my will.”
Clutching her bleeding neck, Celia Paris could only look at me with wide eyes.
“You’d better go back. Go and mate with another dragon and live happily ever after.”
“No!!”
Celia Paris’ cry was so cruel that Liana flinched and retreated behind her.
“Ergaduk… If you were going to return so easily, you wouldn’t have come here in the first place… Isn’t that right…? It’s okay if you don’t go back to the island. Our blood relatives are special. Yes, that’s right. Ergaduk. “You couldn’t stand it. Then don’t go back. Instead of going back, you can live with me on the human continent…?”
“I’ll say it again. I’ve built a nest here. I have no intention of going anywhere.”
“I will live here too! Wouldn’t that solve all problems? Ergaduk won’t have to leave the nest and I can be by Ergaduk’s side.”
Logically correct. But you left out the biggest variable.
“Don’t be a dick and just go away, Miss Dragon.”
Lyana opened her mouth menacingly, her divine power blooming in her hands.
“There is no place for you here. Don’t disturb the lord for no reason and leave.”
“You’re so proud that you know how to use magic. I could turn you into a piece of meat in the blink of an eye.”
Liana laughed at Ciliafari’s threats.
“Does this look like magic?”
As Liana stretched out her golden, soulful hand towards Cilia Pari, thin smoke began to rise from her Cilia Pari’s skin.
Celia Paris bares her teeth and is about to release the polymorph on one of her arms.
「Stop it!」
At the dragon’s roar, Celia Paris fell flat on her ground and Lyanna stumbled backwards behind her.
“Siliafari. Go back. I don’t want to kill any more of my blood relatives. I think you understand this much.”
I returned to the castle, leaving the devastated Ciliafari behind.
Lyana, who had been standing dazed in the aftermath of the dragon’s roar, hurriedly followed behind me.
“Ergan. That dragon. Shouldn’t we kill it? It will definitely attract other dragons.”
“Do you want me to kill my blood relative, the Engagement Dragon, with my own hands?”
“To get rid of Huhwan, you have to kill him.”
I had just entered the lord’s castle and stopped and looked back at Liana.
“Because I am not you.”
“Yes…?”
Liana looked at me with her eyes wide open.
“It doesn’t fit my personality to casually deceive and kill when necessary.”
“Ah…”
“I know why you encourage me to kill Celiaflies. But that’s your reason, not mine.”
“Erga-sama… That’s not it…”
“If you don’t know much about the human world, don’t think that you don’t know other things.”
Liana didn’t say anything and I, not expecting an answer from her, left her and went up to her office.

A week later, Wolpert came to see me.
“My lord. That woman at the front gate. She’s still not gone. Can I just leave her like that?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“I can’t help but pay attention. Look outside. It’s raining like that.”
As summer entered, it was raining almost every day in the estate.
Ciliapari has been standing next to the main gate for a week now, soaking in the rain.
If it were a normal human being, she would have collapsed in less than three days.
But I wasn’t worried.
A week is nothing to a dragon.
Just as my blood relatives have been looking for me for forty years, the concept of time itself is different from that of humans.
Besides, there’s no way you could get hurt just because of a little rain.
Of course, it would be very annoying to Wolpert, who is responsible for the security of the lord’s castle.
“Will it cause inconvenience to traffic?”
“That’s not true. When I told them to move to the side of the road, they obeyed me. But that’s not the problem. Since she’s standing there like that, people coming in and out are curious. What on earth is she doing? I’m also curious. Could she be…”
Wolfert lowered his voice slightly.
“Is this the black dragon that suddenly appeared and disappeared a week ago…?”
“Yes, that’s right. It came here after me. It’s my betrothed dragon.”
“Hey… You mean the engagement dragon…?! But why are you standing there? Are you cheating on me?”
“They’re protesting like that because they’re trying to take me with them and they’re saying they won’t go. So don’t worry about it.”
“Yes… I understand…”
When the lord said so, Wolpert, the captain of the guard, had no choice.
When Wolfert left the office, he went out to the terrace and looked toward the front door.
There was a rain-soaked cilia fly standing in the corner of the front door that was left open because it was daytime.
After making eye contact with her, I turned around and entered her office.
Cilia flies have a pathological obsession.
If you don’t adopt an attitude that makes you feel like you’re being buried, you won’t be able to shake it off.
Otherwise, she would have no choice but to kill Liana as she said, but she no longer wants to kill her blood relatives.
Anyway, what is Liana doing now?
Since then, Liana has been sick and has been confined to her bedroom for a week without going to work.
Was what I said that shocking?
But because she knew Liana’s intention to push her to kill her blood relatives, she had no choice but to say that.
I’m sorry Liana, but I have to be clear.
Otherwise, you will continue to be dragged around by her in the future.
* * * * *
A few days later, Celia Paris was no longer seen where she always stood.
She asked Wolpert and he said that last night she suddenly left.
“It looks like you’ve made up your mind, my lord.”
“I see.”
That can’t be possible.
I thought she would last ten years, but she gave up in just a week?
Hmm…
