Episode 397
Episode 130. The reason why dragons came to the human world (2)
If the dragon lord doesn’t know, who knows?
It was a bit ridiculous. However, Mahatrisha was not someone who could be bullied for why she had come to visit without properly grasping the phenomenon.
“It’s good after. Anyway, the Balaur are in danger… Likewise, we humans are in danger, so let’s work together to survive, right?”
“That’s right.”
[Your attitude towards Lord Lord from a while ago is very disrespectful.]
“The shading screen is shutting up. If my attitude is a problem, Lord will take care of it even if you guys don’t have to say it one by one. Don’t intervene anywhere.”
He shot at it sharply, but the red dragon unexpectedly quietly turned his head away. Since Rod is having a direct conversation, he doesn’t know that he shouldn’t step out in the first place.
“I’m sorry, child. Unexpectedly, it must have been making you uncomfortable since earlier.”
“No, Lord. I just don’t like the high-handed attitude and gaze of dragons looking at humans when they’ve gathered to cooperate for survival.”
“I see what you mean. I’ll try my best, but you know. no i don’t know yet you have no children Children don’t always move the way they want. The kids don’t listen very well. I told you not to fight with you today.”
[Sorry, Lord.]
“It’s okay, Helmione. I didn’t mean to scold you.”
The names of the red and black dragons acting as the shielding screens were Helmione and Mitadelin.
“I will take that into consideration. There will be times when humans make mistakes with dragons too.”
“Thank you.”
“But Lord-nim’s alliance always has meaning only when it is done under mutual agreement.”
“Oh, that’s right. Do you have any conditions?”
“Yes, if I cannot accept this condition, I would like to cancel the alliance with the Balaur.”
It was precipitation.
In fact, the Balaur had already formed a cooperative relationship with the Puang Merchants and were already helping humans with various practical tasks.
Five dragons went out to support Rochshire, and there were more than ten dragons in Ron’s Tears of the Great Ocean. It was to open trade routes between the East and the West.
Even Yuma didn’t know, but sooner or later the god of water and dance Iseron was preparing to give a blessing to Iseron’s tears. It was at Mahat Lisa’s request.
Therefore, there is no need for Yuma to create an uncomfortable situation by using the word ‘condition’.
However, it was a condition that Yuma had to walk.
“Um, yes. If you say so, it must be necessary. tell me.”
“I hope that dragons will never recklessly kill humans simply because they are in a bad mood. Even after the war begins.”
The hate-filled gaze and high-handed attitude of the dragons towards humans, and the dragons’ murderous acts they experienced before returning.
I couldn’t help but go over these issues.
During the Dragon Horse War in the past, dragons were forced to help humans except for a few.
The number of people who died at the hands of the underworld demons could not be counted, but the number of people killed by dragons was not small. To them, humans were like bugs who couldn’t figure out why they had to protect them.
That was the reason why Yuma dared to say that Mahatrisa had conditions.
And Yuma was sure.
I was sure that Mahatrisha would never refuse this request.
“Okay, I will bluff my children on that part.”
As expected, Mahatrisha accepted Yuma’s offer. There was no need to worry, it was the atmosphere that it was natural.
“Thank you Lord.”
Yuma, who made eye contact with Mahatrisha for a moment, stood up from her seat. Then he went in front of Mahatrisha and bowed his head respectfully.
Now that the negotiations were over and the alliance had been confirmed, it was time to thank them.
“I have been having a lot of trouble lately, so my greetings are late. Thank you for protecting my family, Mahat Risha. “If you were in the same position as me, you would have done the same. wake up baby Now you’re putting on a happy face. Come have a dance partner at the banquet later tonight.”
“All right.”
Mahatrisa entered the mansion.
One side of the upper mansion had already been turned into a space for dragons, and there it was to inform the other dragons of the condition Yuma had just spoken about.
“after! I’m breaking out in a cold sweat. I wondered why you were so tight in front of our lifesaver in the ranks. Are you not hurt anywhere?”
“doesn’t exist. I missed you. And if you go to the mansion, there will be another nice person you would have missed.”
“A nice person? who? Evan by any chance!?”
While Yuma smiled bitterly, Natalie turned bright like a girl on her way to find a gift and ran to the mansion.
And soon, Yuma could hear croaking laughter. It was Valie Nunn and Natalie’s voices exclaiming excitedly as they hugged each other.
* * * It’s been a while since the banquet.
Like every banquet, Yuma was leaning on the balcony and thinking about the future.
After talking with Mahatrisha, Yuma took care of her overdue work until evening and heard about the current situation in the empire.
‘Thanks to the help of the dragons, the trade route pioneering was at least three years ahead of my schedule. I was worried what would happen if I couldn’t finish it before the Dragon Horse War started.’
It wasn’t just trade routes.
The completely abandoned metropolis of Rochshire was also rapidly becoming habitable. This is because the dragons are directly carrying stones and building buildings with magic.
Also, the cooperation between the ‘Puang Merchant’ and the Balaur was related to the East.
Yuma’s other top wing of Yuma. There, too, the highest dragons sent by Mahatrisha had arrived.
They were to help rebuild the eastern and western parts of the land that had been abandoned, like Lockshire.
‘More than anything else, to install a dimensional gate that allows one to travel between the East and the West in an emergency… Is that even possible?’
It would not be a lie to say that Mahatrisa said it himself.
In other words, it was a kind of teleportation.
Mahatrisha said that it was not real teleportation, but a similar effect by forming a dimension.
Anyway, things were going smoothly. Thanks to the dragons who came to the fore.
However, Yuma had a hunch that that wasn’t a good thing.
‘The reason the dragons are moving so fast is probably because a full-scale war with the underworld will begin sooner or later.’
The Ryongma War before returning broke out when Yuma was 26 years old.
Currently, Yuma is 21 years old. Looking at the current situation, it wouldn’t be strange if a summer general was summoned to a certain city like the Rochshire Incident the next day.
In addition, Mahatrisha predicted that their full-scale invasion would begin within a maximum of three years. The time of the war’s opening was earlier than before the return.
With the return of Yuma, all kinds of history changed, so it was only natural.
‘But unlike then, we are getting ready now. I’m not in a hurry to think This time, the entire human race will not be driven to the brink of annihilation…
Boom!
Someone slapped Yuma on the back with the palm of his hand. The blow was so strong that the shock that ran down Yuma’s back made the balcony shake.
It was the work of Duran Jacques. There was no other person in the empire who could strike Yuma in the back with such strength.
“Ah-oh! I’ll get out of here, Master.”
“Ha ha ha. I know this bastard has a lot of worries, but since he didn’t drink a glass of wine with his teacher, he gave up his soul.”
“No, didn’t Jac decide to stay up all night drinking at the mansion later?”
“That is that and this is this. This master is very sad.”
It was the second time that I heard that I was already sad as soon as I arrived. Once to Mahatrisha and once to Duranzak.
Yuma, who was about to answer Duran, quietly lowered his head. Hella Rose entered the balcony.
“your majesty.”
“Yuma, I’m a bit sad too. Couldn’t you have told us in advance that the dragons had agreed to help us?”
“Your Majesty, that’s not it.”
“Haha, that’s a joke. I already heard from Natalie that you also rode the mall.”
Hella stood next to Yuma and offered her a drink. As Yuma politely accepted the glass, Duran closed the balcony entrance and moved away.
Only Yuma and Hella were left on the balcony. And since Duran had closed the balcony door himself, no one would try to open it.
‘hmm? Why is that old man out of his seat?’
Before she could finish her thoughts, Hella opened her mouth.
“Actually, I have something to apologize for.”
“To me, Rose, Lord of Steel, is a higher name than Dragon Lord. There is no need for Your Majesty to apologize to me.”
“Don’t say such ticklish words. This is what I really want to say to you in order not to make mistakes as a ruler in the future.”
“I will listen.”
“I have feelings for you.”
I almost dropped the wine glass I was holding.
A cold sweat ran down his back and his heart beat faster than ever. It was such an embarrassing confession.
“…So, in fact, after the coronation ceremony, I was going to formally propose to you. And you know best what happened that day.”
Yuma couldn’t answer. I didn’t even know where to put my eyes, so it seemed like my body kept twisting. It’s been a long time since I didn’t know what to do.
“I know that you and I cannot be together. I want to apologize for the love I have for you.”
“Your Majesty, how can you…
” Haha… I feel relieved after saying that. I meant to tell you something so easy.”
Hella had a wide smile on her face as if she could breathe.
“This is what I want to ask of you.”
“Don’t tell me. your majesty.”
“Things that are difficult for me to endure are happening throughout the empire. My mother’s death, the tragedy of Rochshire…
these are the events that happened right after I ascended the throne. It’s too hard.”
Hella Rose’s life was far from happy, even if it wasn’t for recent events.
The father became a traitor while trying to use his daughters, and the older sister, who was going crazy, almost got choked in Kyle Square.
At such times, it was none other than Yuma who always gave me strength and practically solved the problem. A boy who one day thought she was a very fearless and greedy commoner.
“But I am not as strong as you. So I am afraid that I will make a mistake and that I will mess up my job as a ruler because of the love I have for you.”
“your majesty.”
“If I show myself like that… you’ll yell at me yourself.”
“yes?”
“It’s a story about asking me to yell at you, not minding that I am the supreme being of this land. I decided to live the life of a woman, not a woman. Do you understand?”
“…I will definitely do that, Your Majesty.”
Yuma was able to respond that way only after a while.
