Synopsis: Our trashy lord is actually a literature-loving youth

We were victorious and Lord Cyth had fled—was the summary of Andy's battle progress report that I listened to while reclining on a bed.

Apparently, Lord Cyth had a beautiful woman at his side when he escaped.

I closed my eyes and could not help but feel sorry for the Snow Witch who wasted her life for such a man.

Andy concluded the report with words for me to rest well, then quietly walked out of the room.

It was already quite late.

I heard Anna walk inside, probably wanting to help me change into my night clothes to sleep, and I squirmed in discomfort.

I did not want her to touch me for the same reason as before. Even though Anna had watched me grow up and I was now blind, I still had my pride as a fully-grown man and was embarra.s.sed at the thought. How could I let her dress me?

Suddenly, the sound of another person's footsteps came approaching.

I froze and listened carefully to figure out who it was. It didn't seem like it was my mother or my brother. But who else was there who could freely walk into my bedroom?

Then, a familiar voice—chilly yet warm like Anna's ice berry wine, said, ”You can rest for now. I'll take care of Adam.”

Anna no longer attempted to pry my clothes off, and obediently lowered her hands and left.

The owner of that voice walked to my side, before sitting down next to me and unb.u.t.toning my clothes.

Bewildered yet almost afraid to affirm my guess, I grabbed his hand and whispered, ”Fruu?”

”Mm,” Fruys grunted. ”It's me.”

He explained, ”I have pretty much recovered at this point, so I'm able to maintain a human form. However, I can't hold it for too long because I'm not completely healed yet.”

Completely dazed from shock, I silently allowed him to change my night clothes. This was my first time ever hearing that dragons could transform into a human form.

The both of us were quiet, and soon Fruys finished changing my clothes. As he stood up and prepared to leave—

All the emotions that I had buried inside me for the entire day came bursting out.
