138 – EP.28 Rasvir -7
One-sided assault.
I crouched down as much as I could and raised my guard, but the fists of Freesia stabbed one by one were fierce and painful.
Still, she didn’t mean to beat her until she died, so she stopped beating her when it seemed like she was about to be bruised.
Then, since she forced me to explain all her circumstances, I told her everything that had happened.
“So my mother’s spirit resides in a place called the dragon’s grave, and you came here after being asked for help by her mother in her dragon’s grave?”
“Yes.”
“If you’re going to lie, at least say something that makes sense!”
“Then how would you explain this?”
When I showed Freesia the scales of Agera that had guided me here until now, her body trembled.
Since they’ve lived together for a long time, they should know better than anyone that these scales belong to her mother.
You won’t be able to refute that easily.
“Are you bragging about robbing my mother’s grave in front of me?”
“No, why do you think that way?!”
“Otherwise, there would be no way my mother’s scales would be here!”
“Think a little deeper! How would I, who came from outside, rob your mother’s tomb buried under the Rasvir Castle?”
“The human on the inside must have tried to trick you into pretending to be from the outside!”
“Take care of your absurd stubbornness in moderation! Did you create the space in this realm? If that’s the case, wouldn’t you have already figured out that there is an entity tearing through the space you created about a month ago?”
“Joe, great! Then, how would you explain that you, who came from outside, knew the exact location of your mother’s grave?”
“Did I just walk for a month? Of course, I came to know it naturally as I gathered information while giving rest to those infected with the plague. Even the information that the god of plague resides in the castle! Still, do you think I can dig up your mother’s grave while avoiding the eyes of the divine beast? Sincerely?”
“Ugh… !!”
Realizing that she had no more room to argue, Freesia bit her lip and narrowed her brow.
As if he didn’t want to acknowledge my existence even if he died.
“Even so, I can’t believe it easily!”
“Oh, is that so? Do whatever you feel like. If you don’t believe me, I’ll just go back.”
While the situation of the kingdom was going to ruin, the being called the kingdom’s next guardian dragon was stubborn.
Of course, it’s not that I don’t understand her distrustful attitude.
The tragedy of the Plague was started by the King of Rasvir.
The Kingdom of Rasvir was a vast monarchy, with a human king in power, but a separate leader.
The first Rasvir’s guardian dragon and ancient dragon is Agera. She is its leader, and the king’s position is determined not by lineage, but by the choice of the guardian dragon.
How to select a clear and clean king with Suhyorong’s excellent insight.
However, Agera only selects the king’s timber, but she does not interfere in internal affairs.
In other words, the king is good, but the servants in the palace are not.
There will always be those who are ambitious inside, and they will soon become vassals.
While flattering the king, he corrupts the pure king little by little with his mouth, or makes him his own puppet.
In addition, selecting only good kings means that the kings lack qualities.
‘The country I live in has already developed scientific technology, but this is why it hasn’t.’
The fact that no king has ever made a great achievement is accumulating one by one.
The newly crowned king could not help but become more ambitious as time passed.
Because the only thing people leave behind when they die is their achievements.
The trustees who have been rotten from the beginning, the king who is gradually corrupting, and the guardian dragon’s death.
The Royal Palace of Rasvir, which was aiming to advance into the outside world, persistently hindered Freesia from creating space.
The invasion of Lesshef that took place as a result led to the current downfall.
Freesia suffered greatly from the betrayal of the people she trusted and the downfall caused by external forces.
A human from outside would be even more unreliable.
Now that this has happened, there is no other option, but to turn around and leave.
“Wait a minute? Are you sure you want to go back?”
“Yes, staying here any longer would be a waste of time.”
It is the royal palace that took a large part in the downfall of Rasvir Kingdom, but that does not mean that the guardian dragon mother and daughter are not at fault.
The mother had no interest in the situation in the palace.
Her daughter didn’t show a proper response before and after the god of plague came in.
Even her daughter has been hiding at the bottom of the lake for a month.
I can’t expect proper help from her, and I don’t have to take responsibility for her mother and daughter’s faults.
“Now, wait a minute!”
“What is it? Why are you holding on to someone you don’t trust?”
“That’s because we haven’t met yet! First of all, she said she came to help me at her mother’s request? But what if it goes away as if it was a lie!”
“Whether true or false, to you everything I say is a lie. Is not it? So don’t hold on to it any longer.”
“Oh…… !!”
I’m aware that I’ve been a bit rough lately.
But what?
The tens of thousands of experiences I’ve had since coming here have made people’s personalities dirty.
“Oh, okay! I’ll trust you a little bit! So wait a minute!”
“I hate it.”
“Why?! I said I trusted you a little bit!”
“Because my relationship of trust with you was completely over at the point you said you didn’t trust me.”
Freesia should never have tried to take care of her petty ego.
Even though she welcomed the people who came to help her, I couldn’t help but feel great disappointment at her, even though she had taken off her hat and neglected her.
It’s okay to get hit because of a pad lip created by a misunderstanding.
Because it means you love her family that much.
Besides, since she is the real daughter of Gera, who is kind-hearted, I thought that she must have a good inner heart as well.
But the reality was different.
She was so self-centered that, if asked to choose between her mother and her daughter, she could say, ‘Daughter, give me your mother.’
“Then what am I supposed to do? This division was caused by a divine beast from the outside! I lost the kingdom and people I loved in an instant! There’s no way I could trust someone from outside!”
“So?”
“Uh… ?”
“I’m not saying it’s wrong, but anyways, you’re distrusting that disgusting Leshef bastard on the same level as me, aren’t you? Okay, so let’s ask the question in reverse. How can I earn your trust? Do I even have to pick up his hair? Or will you believe it only after living in this land that has been destroyed by the plague for several years?”
“However, to that extent….”
“Then you should have given me a good reason and a way to earn trust! But didn’t you just say you didn’t trust me? Of course I have no choice but to give up helping you, right?”
“… ….”
Freesia bowed her head as if she had no face.
Judging by her drooping shoulders, it seems that she has finally realized her own fault.
“Haa….”
I know that people’s judgments change depending on the point of view.
From Freesia’s point of view, she had good reasons for her distrust.
However, after stepping on this land, my spirit was devastated.
I wanted to be praised by someone for working hard, I wanted to be comforted by someone saying that I had suffered a lot.
However, when I reached my destination, what I received was the punishment of being clothed in distrust.
I feel like my efforts have been betrayed.
Freesia will never know how I feel.
‘I want to rest now… ….’
It’s a pity we can’t deal with the damn Lesheph here.
Because the hatred towards him still remained strong in a corner of my heart.
But I was so exhausted that the hatred was overshadowed.
I walked and walked until my blisters burst.
I swung my sword so that there was no place on my body that was not stained with blood.
I was torn apart and grieved as I made the end of so many people that my heart was torn apart.
A woman holding a baby’s corpse, a merchant who wanted to protect her children’s smiles, a knight who killed her changing parents, and even twin sisters trying not to fall while holding her hands tightly.
With my own hands…….
“Sorry!”
“Huh?”
“You came to help me with a hard time…… I’m sorry for being so stubborn.”
I opened my eyes wide when I saw Freesia, who bowed her waist up to 90 degrees and apologized sincerely to me.
Even though I realized my mistake, I didn’t expect to apologize this politely.
“What? What kind of wind blew in your heart, why did you do that all of a sudden? “
“Yes, yes, you had a hard time because of me, didn’t you?”
“How do you know if I am struggling or not?”
Freesia did not answer my next question.
Instead, she looked at me and tapped her own cheek.
It was as if he was saying that there was something on my cheek, so when he touched my cheek right away, wet water came out of his palm.
“Ah… ….”
I was shedding tears without realizing it.

Looking back on the past, it seems that his heart burst again and his tear glands were squeezed.
With this, the situation became embarrassing in an instant.
“I really didn’t know that I would be so bad that it would make me cry…” ! I’m really sorry!”
“No, this is….”
I wasn’t really crying to show emotion…… If there is a rat hole, I want to get into it right away.
Still, in a situation where the stubborn Freesia had apologized to the point of bending her pride, she said it wasn’t her fault and then she couldn’t handle the job.
I felt ashamed of myself, but it seemed good to just quietly accept the apology.
We must not forget the old saying that if we stay still, we will go even halfway.
“That…… I’ll do anything as an apology. Hey, do you have anything you want from me?”
“What do you want?”
“Yes, I will grant you any wish in particular!”
“Anything….”
“Of course! No outrageous wishes! I want you to kill the god of plague! Like wanting to covet my body… !”
From noble mtl dot com
Lightly ignoring Freesia’s back remarks, I pondered the wishes she would ask of her.
Then, of course, a wish popped into her head.
My healer, the one who sometimes makes me upset by unexpected accidents, but always makes me smile.
I needed a dragon that had an untainted innocence, but was vicious because it was pure, and seemed capable of doing any crazy thing with it.
“Drill.”
“What?”
“Let’s break through the space that leads to the outside right now.”
