Chapter 7 (1/2)
“Pick up the dead wolf, make sure the child is safe, and then escort him home.”
Passing the bow to the knight, Lushen glanced towards the forest where the wolves had fled.
The reason he’s here at this time was to find the missing dragon egg.
The search for the egg came at night, ordered by Grand Duke Ernest to find it as soon as possible.
He divided the knights into groups and sent them to the east, west, north, and south, starting from the capital.
And he himself led the knights to the east.
No one knows where the egg in question is.
The reason he came to this village is because the priests of the Imperial Palace Temple said they felt energy in the east.
The east.
Since the dragon’s egg disappeared, they have been searching every village located east of the palace for more than 10 days.
And finally they reached this town.
There was no day or night for them.
He shot a bow when he saw a wolf attacking the child on their way out to speed up the search.
No matter how busy they’re on their way, it is not upto the knights to pretend to not know when a child is in danger.
“Baron!”
Lushen turned his head to an urgent voice when he tried to get on the horse.
“Ba, Baron, here!”
The atmosphere of the knights surrounding the child was unusual.
“What’s going on?”
Eventually, Lushen, who gave up getting on the horse, walked to the place where the knights surrounded the child.
“What the hell is going on…”
Lushen, who was already disturbed by someone calling him for something unimportant, stopped the moment he saw the child.
And the eyes grew with surprise.
The moment he saw the child’s eyes in the knight’s arm, he noticed it.
The little child in front of him was from the very egg they have been searching for more than 10 days.
Portraits of the emperors of the past, decorated in the corridor of Aeon, the main palace of the imperial palace, emerged in his head.
The common feature of the emperors in the portrait is their purple eyes.
Except the emperor, in other words, no one but the dragon can have purple eyes. Purple eyes are eyes that a person can never have.
“Your, Your Majesty… Lushen’s lips quivered.
He should have said, ‘I found the Emperor,’ but he couldn’t open his mouth.1
The angry face of Grand Duke Ernest rose to his head.
The egg is broken and the dragon has hatched and now in front of his eyes, who hatched the dragon?
Who would have done such a great thing?
It is obvious that Grand Duke Ernest will not let any man live by doing such a thing.
“Your Majesty the Emperor!”
Lushen yells like that and fall on his knees.
The other knights around Sigmund, followed him with a confused face.
Sigmund, who had no idea why they were lying down, muttered with a puzzled look at the thought of being scolded by Adele.
“I have to go to town.”
Coming down from the knight’s arms, Sigmund waved at the knights lying down around him.
“If it’s too late, Adele will wake up, so I’ll go.”
And when he was about to fly with his wings flapping,
“Your Majesty!”
Lushen grabbed Sigmund’s ankle.
“It hurts.”
Sigmund frowned at his strong hand.
“It hurts. Don’t hold it.”
“You can’t go like this!”
“It hurts.”
Sigmund swelled his cheek at Lushen, who held his slender ankle tightly and wouldn’t let go.1
It means “I’m angry.”
It means “Let it go quickly because I’m very angry now,” but it was clear that he didn’t notice it.
“I’ll take you to Grand Duke Ernest now. Please come with us, Your Majesty.”
But Lushen was desperate now. Heaven finally helped. Otherwise, who would have thought that this night they would meet the child from the egg that disappeared to this place?
He can’t lose the Emperor here.
“No, and will you let me go?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I’ll dare to be disrespectful.”
Lushen said, who had little heart to let go of the Sigmund, glance at the knights.
“Take His Majesty.”
They must take him by force. If they miss him here now, Grand Duke Ernest will try to cut his throat.
They say it’s a dragon, but he is just a child who has just woken up directly from an egg.
Lushen has never seen a dragon. It’s the same for everyone in the kingdom.
The last dragon had already returned to their world three hundred years ago.
In the kingdom of Vissen, no living person has ever seen a dragon in person, but everyone knows about its legend that once a fire was fired, the entire forest was burned in a flash, and once a flapping of its wings make the entire river run dry.
There was a legend that said the castle was destroyed by the gust of its wind. But such external power did not make the dragon a target of fear. The dragon’s ability to make real people two is magic.
