Dragon will die (4)
After a soggy meal, we continued our tour of the capital.
We tried to highlight the shortcomings of the kingdom without being too explicit, but ultimately failed.
Usually, high-ranking pets have uncompromising levels of self-awareness and standards, but…
Even if there were some parts she didn’t like, the convenience dragon Fresia humbly passed on it.
It looks like you didn’t have high expectations from the beginning.
Or maybe it’s just a weird taste.
As a maniac who eats mint chocolate and pours sweet and sour sauce, chances are good enough.
Still… Except for those two things, I like it in general.
Had I not joined the rebellion, I would have welcomed her at ease.
On the way, the Minion Conservation Association guys were protesting, so I put my hopes up…
Pressia just looked at it and smiled.
“It’s a really nice country. I’m sure you’ll get such cute opinions.”
“They’re disgusting.”
Persia checks the position of the sun with a squint while trembling slightly.
The sun is slowly setting over the wall.
Although Fresia hasn’t said it directly yet… Gradually, I feel the pressure to let Eshas meet.
It’s hard to take any more time.
‘What a good way…’
While I was desperately squeezing my hair, Fresia coughed a little.
The moment Persia was about to throw a desperate win.
A loud trumpet sound covered the boy’s voice.
What followed was a familiar marching song.
When I realized its identity, I cried silently.
Apparently, Essha is out on the streets right now.
How can you be so unlucky?
While grinding her teeth internally, Fresia follows her with a shaky expression when she gets up in a hurry.
Eventually, the humanoid Eshas appeared with the guards at the fore.
As always, with her attendants supporting her hair, she came straight up to me and stopped.
It means I knew where I was from the beginning.
I’m sorry Duke of Beltern, but I really can’t do anything about it anymore.
“Drakor Kingdom…”
“Be quiet. Count Elcloud. Why didn’t you answer my call?”
Eshas intercepts the military band’s cry and asks in a voice with anger.
My heart was pounding, but I decided to grab it for now.
If something is ambiguous, pretend not to know it is a way of life that I learned from the handmaiden.
“Boo, your calling! How dare I ignore Eshas-sama’s call? I’m sorry, but I can’t figure out what you’re talking about.”
“Look at this! I told you at lunchtime, but the Count has not answered yet. Elcloud, the henchman of the kingdom, would be so indifferent to me.”
What came out with an absurd rebuke was none other than a new communicator.
That’s what’s on the market right now.
I hurriedly pulled mine out and looked through the records.
We were having such an important guest, so we didn’t have time to worry about notifications.
In the first place, because of Maria and Christine, she rings a hundred times a day.
[Earl of El Cloud. You’ve made some weird stuff. I also sent it to Kim, who received the truth this time. (1:31 PM)]
[count? Your reply is later than expected. Am I right? (1:44 PM)]
[Why is there no answer? (1:45 PM)]
[count. There is an urgent meeting about the Red Dragon Jakar, so please enter the palace right now (2:00 PM)]
[You are the first to disappoint me, Count. (3:24 PM)]
Now that I see you, you’ve been busy since lunch.
It’s a little past 5pm now, so I’ve been waiting for 4 hours.
When I checked the message, Eshas was surprised that the screen had changed.
Persia, the developer, said directly next to me.
“Huh? The mark next to the text disappeared. What?”
“That means the master has read the message!”
“Ah… you haven’t checked it yet? You must have been quite busy, Count.”
I just made sure I didn’t read and chew. Eshasu seems to still have some animosity.
but. She won’t be used to being ignored or waiting.
It’s a bit embarrassing for me to introduce the pterosaur by word of mouth, so I go directly from her side.
“Are you Eshasu? It’s the first time we’ve met face to face like this.”
“Um? You…”
At that moment, Eshas, who turned his gaze to Fresia, saw through her identity at once.
The moment when the two beings most wanted to avoid meeting in the kingdom met.
I sighed inwardly, raising my head down.
I hope you can rebuke me in this situation.
indeed. Eshasu’s angry face quickly turned into astonishment. Then it was filled with anticipation and joy.
She understood the situation in an instant, grabbed my hand, got me up, and smiled brightly.
“That’s right. Were you serving a precious guest? Well, it’s only natural that you didn’t answer my call. Forget about the remarks you just said, Count El Cloud.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Eshas is fed up when he responds with the nonsense that he has already forgotten.
I was escorted by the guards as it was, and I headed to the royal palace with Fresia.
I think we will have dinner at the royal banquet hall.
I’ve done some tricks on Precia before, but at least it’s like a joke with mint chocolate.
It’s a good thing I didn’t go out more daringly that way.
Pressia also testified that I gave pure hospitality as if she did not feel any discomfort.
“Earl of Elcloud? Thanks to you, I was able to learn a lot about your kingdom. It’s a wasteful place to be left immersed in the eternal night.”
“Well, then…”
“I’ll add my strength. It’s my destiny to take revenge on the Night King. You can trust me without a doubt. When the time comes, I’ll take the lead.”
“I’m sure there will be people like this left! If you do that, all the poets of the kingdom will praise you for your bravery.”
Watching the two old dragons work together smoothly makes me sick to my stomach.
Even one Eshas was full, but now there are two old dragons.
Even if Precia is surprisingly common sense, this way absolute power is born.
It’s already rotten enough to rot, but I wonder if it can rot even more… Absolute power is bound to corrupt absolutely.
Rather, if Fresia had a demanding and ferocious personality like a high-ranking pet…
If so, you could expect to fight Eshas after defeating the Night King.
However, he only admired the kingdom of Dracor and the reign of Eshas, but did not show any greed.
It’s like the sky sent to fuck us.
‘Oh, it’s true…’
Since we’ve already met, it’s impossible for me to do anything right now.
I spent an awkward meal time matching the rhythm of the two dragons.
Of course, the topic of the story is the remaining two old dragons.
He became the king of the night with the red dragon Jakar.
“With you, the king of the night has nothing to fear.”
“It’s too early to be relieved. To me, it’s just a balance now.”
Fresia speaks with a deep glance at the demon lord inside me.
Now, we have only 3 SS ranks from our side… Is the King of the Night that powerful?
Essha and I swallowed our lament for different reasons.
Maybe I’ll have to summon the Night King to get rid of these guys.
The meal at the Royal Palace Banquet consists of the finest menus that provide both taste and nutrition.
My stomach is full, but my heart is empty.
“Um, press this way? Oh, that’s right. Please take care of me, El Cloud… Count?”
“I would like to thank you, Fresia-sama.”
I even exchanged numbers with Fresia and left the palace.
It was impressive to see the guards bewildered by the unprecedented situation that Esshas came to meet him in front of the carriage.
Perhaps he was trying to apologize for his previous actions.
Finally, at midnight, he returned to the dormitory.
I wanted to complain as soon as I crossed the front door, but I couldn’t because Christine and Maria noticed.
Having explained today’s incident to the girls in the living room, I moved to my room and stretched out on the bed.
Sylvia and the housemaid’s worries were the same, and he was lazy for a while.
When I checked the text messages piled up during dinner, my body woke up automatically.
“Bee, Duke of Beltern?”
I thought this was also a greeting to commemorate the opening, but…
It was very serious from the beginning of the greeting.
[Earl of El Cloud. Are you okay?]
A record that is automatically erased as soon as I put it in my eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes to see if I had touched something wrong, the next text flew in.
[Relax. Ours is special.]
“…”
The duke who told me that I had not been able to prevent Fresia from joining, that he had already been reported, and that he had no choice but to do so.
The monitoring of the capital is also tight.
[I was out of luck this time. Don’t worry too much.]
The Duke ended the conversation after receiving the conversation at the royal banquet hall.
He must have been seriously thinking about summoning the Black Dragon by now.
I had to admit that I had failed in the end, trying to fall into a groaning mood.
Perhaps it was because they were so focused on the holidays for themselves, Medusa and her summoned beasts fell asleep.
As he left the bedroom, being careful not to wake them up, a familiar smell tickled the tip of his nose.
I couldn’t sleep too much, so I came out to go for a walk… Who is still awake?
As I quietly silenced the footsteps and went down the stairs, I saw Inyoung sitting at the tea table.
Elena is the owner of the relaxed figure, as if a shadow was used as a blanket.
She greeted me with a small nod of her head and followed the tea without a word.
It’s midnight, so there’s less caffeine.
She must also be upset because she heard the news of the pterosaur.
“You’ve worked hard on the holidays, Louise.”
“No… I didn’t do anything.”
Elena shook her head vigorously as she spit out a remorse that she did not know how many times it was today.
As if suddenly remembered, she pursed her lips and spoke up with courage.
“Don’t say it like that. And from now on, please speak more comfortably.”
“Yes? What is that…”
“I was born… that’s right. Wouldn’t it be better to get used to it a little sooner?”
Laughter with reluctant self-help.
I was reminded once again that she would sacrifice for me.
Actually, Elena doesn’t have to listen to me.
Since Fresia has already joined Eshas’ side, it’s enough to inform the Duke and I of the rebellion plan.
The fortress is equipped with a new communicator, so it is very easy to put into action.
If you do that, you will be able to maintain your status as a princess.
But she decided to take my side, risking herself to be reduced to a commoner.
I spit it out rather impulsively because I was so grateful for it.
I am so ashamed that my face heats up once I commit it.
“Don’t worry. I’m always a princess.”
“Yeah? Ah…”
Elena, who understood the meaning of the words too late, quietly blushed.
I was regretting about a hundred times, wondering if there might have been a more sane line.
She quietly emptied her teacup and headed to the bedroom without a word.
She was reassured because she wondered if she would pretend not to hear, so she stood by the open door and waited.
I entered quietly with the intention of reflection.
the next morning.
I wanted to enjoy a more proper holiday than yesterday, so I got a call from the morning and had to go to the student council room.
I was just trying to ignore it, but…
If you found the location of the red dragon Jakar, how could you not attend?
The person who called me, Michael, spoke coldly before everyone’s annoyance exploded.
“It’s Earth.”
“yes?”
“The Red Dragon Zakhar is on Earth. Therefore, it is impossible to attract him with Dimension Summoning.”
Everyone can’t hide their dismay at the completely unexpected news.
Michael adds a little explanation as if not to be angry with him.
“It’s not just Earth, but a jjimjilbang and a PC room… I don’t know what you’re talking about? It’s the name of a public facility where ordinary citizens usually stay. Anyway, it’s dangerous to carry out dimensional summoning, and it’s dangerous for Earthlings to get involved too.”
“The homeless dragon Jakar… That’s a very clear concept!”
Persia mourns with a small click on her tongue.
I was seated in an uncomfortable mood.
