Chapter 12 (2/2)

I hoped that one day, I could perhaps ask Ansai about how he was able to keep up the nice relations.h.i.+p between him and his dragon for the past twenty years.

..·:*¨¨*.·:*¨♡¨*:·. 47 .·:*¨♡¨*:·.*¨¨*:·…

However, Fruys never gave me this opportunity.

Our war with Ansai had finally arrived.

Someone who was blind would only become a burden in battle, so I had to stay at home and depend on the accounts from countless people to get a clear view about what happened in the military campaign.

Apparently, the showdown between two dragons that they were looking forward to never happened.

They said that Ansai's black dragon was originally circling in the sky and roaring when Fruys came flying from afar in the wake of our troops.

The black dragon felt the aura of Fruys's oppressive might, froze for a moment, then immediately descended and groveled on the ground — a sign of submission, similar to how a peasant kowtowed to their monarch.

Strength is all that matters. After losing the crucial support of their Black Dragon, Ansai's troops were routed, and the soldiers under the command of my subordinates chopped them up to pieces.

Even though I didn't have the opportunity to exchange tips on how to tame dragons with Ansai face to face, I could only guess that his experience was probably very different from mine — for example, I heard that his dragon couldn't use magic, couldn't turn into a human, and couldn't even change his size whenever he wanted like Fruys.

If his dragon could neither transform into a human nor make himself smaller…

Considering how I couldn't bear it that one time Fruys tried to do it that way, just how terribly rough Ansai must have had it for the past twenty years…?

Coming to this profound realization, I couldn't help but feel more sympathy for my comrade Lord Ansai, who diligently and conscientiously raised a dragon for so many years yet still met a violent death in the end.

Author's notes:

Anna knows a lot, which seems to clash with her ident.i.ty as ”an old maid of a small lord in the Finanse Continent.” However, rest a.s.sured that this isn't a BUG.
