Chapters Chapter 294: Desdemona in Fox Valley (2) (1/2)
12 hours ago…
“Whoa~! This place looks the same.”
Desdemona was in astonishment as she looked at the city of demi-humans that had thousands of years of history. Fox Valley was the same as ever. It was a city filled with pure white marble. It was exactly as Desdemona remembered.
“Does Ninetails still rule over here?”
Seeing as how there was a fox symbol on the walls of the castle, it seemed so. To her, who was a true dragon, Ninetails was the leader of the demi-humans… something like their king. But right now, it was more important to catch the criminal than to look for a fox.
“Hey.”-
Desdemona asked a question to a demi-human girl who was passing by.
“Hm?”
“Nuh uh.”
“...”
“You’re speaking casually to me, bitch. Watch it.”
“Ah, yes ma’am...”
The demi-human girl was flabbergasted by what the girl who looked to be the same age as her was saying, but like the woodcutter, she gave in to her because of the aura she gave off.
“I heard the greatest artist in Fox Valley is Leonardo?”
“Pardon? Teacher Leonardo?”
“‘Teacher,’ my ass.”
Desdemona snorted.
“Why would a mere demi-human be a teacher? He just scribbles.”
If people related to art heard her, they would’ve trembled with anger, but Desdemona didn’t care.
Artists were only slaves who made their lairs beautiful.
“B-but Mr. Leonard is respected quite…”
“So what?”
“...”
“Don’t talk about useless things and answer my question.”
“...”
“That scribbler called Leonardo, do you know where he lives?”
The demi-human girl responded.
“Yes…”
“Where does he live?”
“Mr. Leonard is a royal artist of Fox Valley.”
“So what?”
“...”
“Where does he live?”
“Obviously in…”
Leonardo probably lived in the palace as a royal artist.
“Okay, I see.”
Desdemona immediately began to head towards Fox Valley.
“Stop!”
Guards in front of the palace saw Desdemona at the entrance.
“Who are you, and where are you from? Please reveal your identity and why you came.”
The dog-human guards spoke in a respectful voice towards Desdemona because of the aura she gave off.
“I don’t know anything about that, so can you get out of the way? I’m here to see Leonardo.”
However, Desdemona’s attitude was very dragon-like.
This rude…
The dog-humans were displeased at her attitude, but they didn’t bare their teeth.
It was a rule that all guards had to be polite to visitors. That is, unless they crossed the “line.”
“Are you speaking about Royal Artist Leonardo?”
“Yeah.”
“...”
“So move.”
“I apologize, but have you contacted him in advance…?”
“Why would I set up a meeting with that mere scribbler?”
It meant that she had come here without any plans.
“Then you cannot pass.”
“What?”
Desdemona’s eyes flashed.
“Sir Leonardo isn’t someone just anyone can meet. You didn’t contact him prior to this, and you’re not revealing your…”
“Hey.”
“...Yes?”
“Do you wanna be beaten up into dust?”
Desdemona clenched her fists.
“How dare you…”
Eventually, the dog-human guards exploded.
“Where do you think this is!? A young kid like you…”
At that moment, Desdemona’s fist landed on the guard’s chin.
Pak!
“Kuk!”
The guard screamed as he fell over and fainted, his mouth bubbling.
“Do you want to die…? I said to move.”
Desdemona muttered to herself.
“An e-enemy!”
“Stop!”
“How dare a human girl…!?”
The other guards aimed their spears at Desdemona.
“Ha...”
Desdemona had a sour smile.
All dragons, whether they were red, blue, silver, white, gold, green, or black, had a bad temperament, but among all of them, black dragons were especially vicious. Of course Desdemona would be furious with all the guards trying to block her.
“Fine… Since when did I…? Hehe… mental training is really the best for stupid dogs…”
Desdemona stepped towards the guards as she pulled her sleeves up.

Back in the messaging room of the Valhalla Kingdom.
“Huh?”
Kwak Jung tilted his head rather than being angry that Fox Valley had been taken over.
What?
He couldn’t think of anyone who could suddenly dominate Fox Valley like this. Also, since the most likely people, the Gullveig Alliance, couldn’t attack because of the ceasefire, there was no way it was them.
“The details.”
Kwak Jung spoke towards the messenger soldier in charge of Fox Valley.
“The enemies’ soldiers?”
“That’s…”
“Give me the letter.”
“Yes, sir.”
