122 Episode 122: The Dragon Emperor Knights of Resurrection (1/2)

◆ Liliera ◆

”You're Princess Ryu.”

On his way back to the inn, a man in a hood suddenly appeared in front of him.

Um, maybe he's from back society again?

But why did you come straight from the front today when you said you've been hitting me so hard?

Maybe you're just gonna let him get off guard and hit him from behind?

Shall I activate the physical enhancement magic just in case?

Weaken them so they don't get distracted.

”You're wrong.”

”Play. We know that.”

Yeah, you have no idea.

”I'll call people.”

”I was wondering if I should stop that. What if you don't want to involve the inhabitants of this town?

”I wonder what that means?

No way. Now you're gonna take the people in town hostage?

Even if you're a person in the back of society, isn't that just too much to do with a squid hammer?

If you turn all the inhabitants of town to your enemies, it'll be hard to do that either.

”We have a favor to ask you.”

”Do me a favor?

You said you've been attacking me scattered, and now we're discussing it? Well, they're taking the people of town hostage, so it's still not going to be dastardly enough.

”We want to negotiate with His Majesty the Dragon Emperor.”

”Huh?”

Dragon Emperor? That? Wasn't that the former tightening of the Squid Sama fraternity?

No, well, I did hear the Dragon Emperor was being targeted.

No way then...

”Yeah... maybe it was one of your guys who attacked us before.”

”Exactly. But that's Princess Ryu and his people. I didn't expect to get all of our elites back.”

”I was so weak, I thought it was the work of the shoddy bandits...”

”... Huh?

”... ah”

And, shit, I accidentally got the real deal.

Don't, I think I've been dyed by Mr. Rex's standards lately. You have to be careful.

”Mm-hmm! And that's it. We seek to negotiate with His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. The price is the lives of the inhabitants of this town.”

◆

”Oh, my God, what happened?”

Upon her return to the Inn, Liliera explains to us what happened on her way home.

”It's not hard for a town to be a hostage.

”Yes, you need to report to the Guards and the Adventurers Guild in a hurry.”

”I think we should stop doing that. If they see you go explain the situation, the worst people in town could be attacked to show off.”

Mr. Megli will stop Mr. Norb from telling the guards that they should report him immediately.

”I agree. They'll be watching us more than they've done that far.”

”So what are you gonna do, brother? Are you honestly going to go to Soitz and the others?!?”

In my words, Gyro, you look worried.

Yeah, it's good to have your buddies worried.

”Hmm, you should stop that, too. They say they have a look at the Dragon Emperor, but as far as I can remember, their aim is definitely Dragon Emperor's life.”

Right, I don't think the person who's been after the Dragon Emperor will solve it with more discussion now.

I can see that pretending to talk about it and targeting your life because they can hardly defeat it is a pattern that has often happened in previous lives.

Yeah, I was often targeted for my life.

”But do we have to drink more of their demands than the people in town are being held hostage?

Um, we need to hurry up and take some action on this.

……

And, in the meantime, I notice Mr. Lune shivering with a bright blue face for some reason.

”What is it, Mr. Lune?

”Huh!?”

Mr. Lune shook his body with a victory when I called him. [M]

”Mr. Lune? What's really going on here?

I know it makes you nervous to hear that the people in town are being held hostage, but this fright on the boulder is odd.

”Shh, excuse me, Master Rex...”

”What's wrong, Lune? Why are you apologizing?

I notice something wrong with Mr. Lune, and Mr. Liliera asks what she means by her words.

”Me... my, my fault!!”

All of a sudden, we were surprised at Mr. Lune for saying it was his fault.

”Hey, what is it!?”

”This is what happened because I couldn't be a Dragon Knight sooner!

Yep!? Why does that happen!?

”Because I, the descendant of Princess Ryu, couldn't prove it quickly!

”Mr. Lune is the descendant of Princess Ryu!?”

What the hell is going on?

”Relax, it's okay, Lune”

When confused by the disturbed Mr. Lune, Liliera gently hugs Mr. Lune and forgives him.

”Huh!? Well, then”

”It's okay, calm down”

Gently, Mr. Liliera strokes Mr. Lune's back as she softens the child.

”Ah...”

It was Mr. Lune, who was excited, but he regained some calm as Mr. Liliera stroked his back.

Um, I'm thankful to have a lady companion at times like this.

Honestly, we couldn't have forgiven Mr. Lune so quickly if we were just men.

And Mr. Leune, who has regained his composure, begins to talk about the situation.

”I am a descendant of a child born between the Dragon Emperor and Princess Dragon...”

Mr. Lune began to talk about what had once happened so that he could chew slowly.

”When Princess Ryu's child was born, several generations later, my ancestors were born. But your ancestors were born with a serious illness, and one day they went to a doctor in another country to treat them.”

”Huh? They sent you under the doctor even though you're royal? If it's a serious illness, I think I'll call a regular doctor.”

And, Mr. Norb tilts his neck.

Yeah, it's normal to call a doctor if you're royal or noble.

”It seems that your ancestors' illness was a difficult illness to treat, and that they were to be treated in a strange spiritual area with both curative and curative powers.”

Yeah, there's certainly a strange land that greatly amplifies the resilience of creatures.

I've done it for research in previous generations.

And you also needed the help of such land to treat Mr. Lune's ancestors.

”Happy or unhappy, the terrible epidemic that took the lives of the dragon knights happened when your ancestors were out of the country to treat the disease,” he said.

I'm fortunate to be unhappy, but Mr. Lune laughs bitterly.

”And he was an ancestor who had successfully completed his treatment, but was unable to return to his hometown in the years leading up to the end of the epidemic.”

Well, that's right. Even if the corner disease heals, this time if you have an epidemic disease, you have no ex or child.

”And after a few years, your ancestors, who confirmed that the epidemic had ended, were finally able to tread on the soil of their homeland.”

Mr. Lune's expression remained sad when his ancestors said he was back in his hometown.

But back home, there was no family, and the country was ruled by the prime ministers.

Oh, speaking of which, the dragon emperors and dragon knights at the time were wiped out by epidemic diseases, and the prime ministers and nobles ruled on their behalf.

”Is that it? But that's weird.”

”Yeah, the royal family that draws Dragon Emperor's blood is back, so the Chancellor has to return the throne to Lune's ancestors, right?

Is that everybody? and shake his neck.

Mm-hmm. It's starting to get kind of disturbing.

”He said your ancestors were very surprised. In the country, the Chancellor announced that all royalty had died.”

That was the beginning of the tragedy, Ms Lune says.

”At first, he was an ancestor who tried to meet the prime ministers and inform them of his return, but for some reason he was suddenly attacked when he said he was a phony who cheated on the royal name”

Wow, it's a mess to attack without even checking the authenticity.

”Wasn't there anything to prove whether it was real or not?

Yeah, nobles have rings to prove their successors, too.

”They said it did, but it was lost in the assassin raid.”

”You can squeeze even if you say you're a real royal, as long as you take away the evidence. That sort of thing.”

Guess what the prime ministers do when Mr. Megli, who is always calm, seems unusual and grumpy.

And that's such a forceful way to do it.

It was a long time ago, so I can't be sure anymore, but maybe epidemic diseases were caused by the prime ministers...

It's also suspicious that even though the royal family was wiped out except for Mr. Lune's ancestors, the Chancellor and the other nobles were safe.

”The ancestors, who were attacked by assassins on several occasions, decided that the prime ministers were definitely after them, and they disguised their deaths. And to take the Prime Ministers' proclamation backwards, they secretly joined the surviving Dragon Knight disciples and began their training. To be a dragon knight myself.”

”Well done. I'm surprised there was such a conspiracy behind that old story.”

”Yeah, but there's more to it than that legend. There's an eye for reversal if you can even follow the dragon. It was then that we had the chance to name ourselves the heirs of real royal blood.”

But Mr. Lune drops his shoulder.

”It was difficult to reproduce the moves of the lost Dragon Knight, and many of our compatriots lost their lives in the battle against the Dragon. And a few years ago, my father died of illness, and I was the only survivor of the royal family.”

You remember your late father, Mr. Lune stroking his own spear in loneliness.

”I was about to give up when I was alone... but that's when we met. Princess Ryu, no to Mr. Liliera!

”Huh? Me?

Suddenly she talks to herself and Mr. Liliera circles her eyes in surprise.

”Yes! When I met Liliera, who manipulated the same, no more sharpened, dragon emperor's dragon emperor, I was braved from the bottom of my heart to say that I was not the only one carrying on the royal blood and dragon knight's moves!

”No, that's why I'm not...”

”Yeah, in the end it was my mistake, but I could still meet Master Rex. Thanks to your help, I was able to descend the Silver Dragon and become a true Dragon Knight!

As far as it goes, Mr. Lune was detained for discipleship to Mr. Liliera because of that circumstance.

But after I say that, Mr. Lune drops his shoulder.

”But it seemed too late. I can't believe they did this... at least if they could have followed the Silver Dragon a year earlier, they would have been able to proclaim the royal resurrection to the people at the last ritual of Princess Dragon. That way, the anti-dragon imperial outburst... because I was too late...”

Ms Lune blames herself for her immaturity causing their rampage.

”I wouldn't say anything if I could meet Master Rex sooner. But I don't want to spend the days from your father's death to this day for no reason, and I wish I was more willing to die and build a workout...”

”That's not him. Whoa!

”Huh!?”

Surprised by a sudden loud voice, Mr. Lune trembles with a victory.

And it was you, Gyro, who raised your voice.

”You're not bad! The bad news is they're anti-dragon imperialists! You're not bad!

”Ja, Mr. Gyro......?

”You were just trying desperately to do what you could! My family died and I freaked out! If I'm in the same position, I'll be worried sick! So stop saying bad things about yourself, too!

”Uh... hey, the...”

Gyro, to your momentum, Mr. Lune is black-and-white his eyes.

But thanks to his surprise, Mr. Lune seems to have regained some calm.

”Yes, Lune's not bad. You've been working so hard to make your way home as a successor?
