[Episode 65]
I looked at her blankly and nodded. That was a wish I wished for too.
smart.
She was just wiping away the tears with a handkerchief when she heard a knock.
“yes.”
After answering briefly, the doorknob turned and Lucillion came inside.
“master.”
“…Lucy?”
“yes.”
As if Lucillion had struggled with Enosh a few times, a few places on her clothes were slightly wrinkled, but there was no major change.
“Is your highness okay?”
Lillian asked hastily.
Lucillion silently opened her mouth, staring at her reddened eyes.
“Yes, it’s fine right now, but I said I don’t really want to see you today.”
“Then next time…”
After a moment of silence, Lucillion smiled.
“He said he would see me again in three days.”
At that answer, Lillian let out a sigh of relief.
“Is Enoshi really good…?”
“Yes, ‘today’ is fine. But… it is dangerous.”
At Lucillian’s words, Lady Lillian’s face turned blue again. I kept my mouth shut without asking further.
“I’ll just leave for today. Eirin, I will contact you separately soon.”
“…huh.”
She bit her lip, but when she left the room, she straightened her shoulders and back as if nothing had happened.
And from that day on, Lillian and I started the project to grow the ‘Dragonia’ herb.
* * *
The dragonia herb was literally an illusionary herb.
In order to obtain seeds, he had to grow three kinds of flowers first and artificially inseminate them, but he said that raising those three kinds of flowers was like hell.
The first flower was Seolbinghwa.
Seolbinghwa, as the name suggests, was a flower that grows on snowy glaciers.
It was a special flower that sprouted in a very cold place, so I had to ask Kalan Etam for various favors.
“What a big deal. There’s nothing I can’t do if my sister wants it.”
“really?”
“Yeah, hold my hand tight and sleep with me for a week instead! how is it?”
“Uh…”
Actually, it was too easy to call it a price.
I was very lonely and I liked sleeping with someone, so of course there was no reason to refuse.
“Joa!”
“Really! promised! You and I are sleeping alone! No uninvited guests! Understand?”
“huh…!”
“My older brother will raise you nicely!”
In this way, Snow Binghwa was brought up by Kalan Etam.
The second flower is the jade flower.
As you may know from the name, this time it was a flower that only grew in the hotter heat than inferno.
In other words, it is a flower that can only be seen rarely near active volcanoes.
“Ahh…”
I honestly don’t know what to do with this.
It is said that if you fertilize Seolbinghwa and Yeomokhwa and plant the fruit to make a new flower, it will become a flower called ‘Seolokhwa’.
It is said that if you fertilize that flower with the third flower, ‘Deep Sea Flower’ and plant the seeds of the fruit, and burn the flower, one seed will come out.
That is the seed of ‘Dragonia’.
‘I don’t know how to grow that seed…’
I thought that if I made a lot of Dragonia seeds and experimented with them, at least one would sprout.
As the name suggests, deep sea flowers are flowers that grow in the deep sea.
‘I honestly don’t have the ability…’
I don’t have the confidence to raise the flower, and I don’t have the confidence to bring the flower safely.
Even if I handed over a flower to Callan Etam, I still have two big challenges.
‘Um…’
Who am I passing this flower to?
I crossed my arms and seriously contemplated.
I gave up on growing up in the first place.
No matter how much I think about it, I am an ordinary lizard, and an ordinary lizard will become a grilled lizard after going to get incandescent flowers, and will become shark prey after going to grow deep-sea flowers.
“Pu-hu…”
He let out a deep sigh, and the shadow behind him grew thicker.
“Flower, why is the little one sighing like that?”
“uh…? Harabuji.”
“Oh, the castle came and went, and I completely forgot about it. Did you enjoy Goyan?”
Uh, why do you look upset?
I had a lot to regret, so I stretched out my arms to him and shook my head.
“No, look at it and write a sipper…”
“Looking at you acting cute that you didn’t do, it looks like you have something you want.”
hot.
It hit me right in the middle.
When I laughed hesitantly, he snorted and hugged me casually.
“Thanks to you, that spoiled bastard is acting a bit like a human.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Your father. He played around as he let loose without thinking of inheriting the position of successor, and finally took over the position of heir as if he had thought of it.”
That’s a bit surprising, I didn’t think of it at all.
“Wow, chukka.”
Somehow, did that make her expression look a little brighter?
He put his arms around my hips and naturally went into the office holding me.
‘…uh?’
Was the office this messy?
There were many statues everywhere. It’s also a lizard statue.
There was also a stuffed lizard.
When I opened my mouth and looked at the office, he pressed the back of my head a little violently and buried it in my chest.
“Ha Harabu?!”
“hurry…!”
In a very, very small voice, as if whispering, Duke Mirel instructed someone.
I could hear the rustling and movement of people, but he calmly put me down on the sofa in front of the office desk.
When the sight returned, the office was very clean and tidy, as if it had always been like that.
‘…uh.’
Took this away in an instant.
It seemed like a fair amount, though.
‘Ah, am I doing some virtue?’
After all, his hobby could be collecting statues of lizard-like reptiles.
You might think that being exposed to virtue is not good for your body.
‘…I don’t think this kind of information was even in [Mouth. Yang. Gak].’
Also, many things are omitted in the novel.
‘I don’t like beasts, but I like reptiles…’
Although it hurts my heart a little bit.
I shook my head.
‘Sachi, Sachi.’
Even now, I am blessed enough, but let’s not be greedy any more. The moment you get greedy, the balance is bound to be broken.
“Kuhmm, the room was a bit messy. It’s because I don’t usually organize well.”
“Good luck.”
I’m quick-witted, so I’ll pretend I don’t know. Because I have to respect your taste.
There was a time when it was my hobby to make things like dried herbs or poisonous herb bookmarks.
I shook my head.
“How about learning with a tutor? The teacher says you are very good.”
“Have fun!”
When I answered with a wide smile, Duke Mirel, who opened his eyes wide, suddenly poked his head out.
“Is it fun?”
“yes!”
“Is that royal science or etiquette or something?”
“yes!”
Actually, it was just mediocre, but I couldn’t say I didn’t like it because they gave me private education at best.
And Hill Rosemont, except for being rude to me at first, has been a good teacher since then.
It would have been if it hadn’t been for the trivial conversations about what he likes and what he likes after a cup of tea.
“Huh… that’s funny, you really… you might have been born with it.”
Duke Mirelle, muttering softly, laughed at what was so special about it and tousled my hair.
“Oh my gosh, how great it would have been if your father was only half of you!”
Duke Mirel shouted as if in a state of collapse.
‘Then the novel wouldn’t have been fun…’
Since the story of how the heir, who was polite and was a workaholic, got a talented daughter and went on a winning streak…
I just smiled.
“So why did a small person like you sigh so much?”
“Ah… because the flowers are blooming.”
“flower? Just talk and he’ll even bring you to the garden. What kind of flower is it?”
“Yeomokhwa and deep-sea flowers.”
As soon as I finished my words, the tail drooped as if reflecting the owner’s will, and the space between Duke Mirel’s eyebrows narrowed even further.
“Yeomokhwa and Deep Sea Flower? What are you going to use those fussy flowers for?”
It was a flower that no one knew about as much as it was difficult to grow.
“It’s just because I’m tired…”
I decided not to go into details.
‘Because they might not help me if I do stupid things.’
I didn’t like that.
Even if Enosh doesn’t come back to life, I want to put my last hope on it.
“Hmm… is that so?”
However, Duke Mirel didn’t ask for details and just rubbed his chin.
“i get it.”
He nodded lightly.
What do you suddenly know…?
“Wait a few days, I will tell you the news. Also, since the second prince is not feeling well, he told me to refrain from visiting him for a while.”
“…yes?”
“I got a call with the emperor’s seal on it.”
It seemed that Enosh had decided against meeting him after all.
I nodded slowly.
I’ll be busy making Dragonia for a while anyway.
‘I’m going to write a letter to Lillian.’
Obviously, he would be shocked too.
“Let’s go.”
“yes. Goodbye dog!”
I bowed my head and walked out of the office.
“Did you have a good conversation with the lady?”
I just kept my mouth shut and smiled awkwardly.
