[Episode 73]
How does the story lead to such a strange ending?
‘Just because [Ip.Yang.Gak] died from the dragon head doesn’t mean the fate of the family must also die from the dragon head, right?’
When I opened my mouth, Erno Etham opened my box naturally. Inside was a golden key.
“It’s the family storage key. Only the family head can have it.”
“Why…”
So why am I the head of the household?!
“I’m still five… no, ten…?”
“My precious daughter will become the youngest family head ever.”
Do you think that’s important now?
When I looked at Duke Mirelle with shaky eyes, the duke crossed his arms and snorted.
However, it seems that he has no intention of stopping the situation.
“Goyan bastard.”
“grandfather…?”
When I called him, Duke Miriel stomped his feet as if he had waited and opened his mouth ferociously.
“Your father pretended to be so sincere that he would receive the dukedom, and acted live! As soon as I handed over the duchy, they wrote the paperwork for handing over to you right away!”
What kind of swindler-like behavior….
As I opened my mouth, Erno Etam naturally stroked my cheek.
“I’ve been working as a homeowner for about half a year.”
he said lightly.
“Then I gave you half of my property. Of course, the property of the head of the household also passed to you. I thought there would be a shortage of resorts, so I bought a few islands while you rested, and I thought it would be troublesome to go far, so I occupied one of the southern lands.”
“…”
I couldn’t understand Erno Etham’s words at once and chewed them several times.
Oh, of course, just because I chewed it over and over again doesn’t mean I understood it.
“Ah, it is said that I have become the head of the family, but I and the former head of the family will do the practical work. I will get the necessary permission from you.”
Even if you say it with such a friendly face, I can’t understand a single thing.
“I wasn’t even in my father’s family
register…” I couldn’t even join the family because of Duke Colin, and if you look at it coldly, I’m sure to be someone else, how the hell am I going to become the head of this family?
There were so many things I wanted to say. Erno Etham listened to me quietly and smiled broadly.
“I figured everything out on my own.”
“…”
Duke Colin is alive, right? His expression is so fresh that it is frightening on the contrary.
“Grandpa… are you okay?”
“Are you okay? I opened my eyes and cut my nose! If I want to hand it over to you, shouldn’t you at least become an adult?”
no, is that a problem now?
It looks like the Etham family will fall for the lizard?!
I heard that the Duke of Mirel has great pride in the Etham family, didn’t he?
“No, I’m… an insignificant hybrid lizard… why the hell…”
Did they take medicine as a group?
Or did he actually get sick and get sick? Embarrassed, I rolled my eyes and protested in a low voice.
“…who.”
Duke Miriel’s face turned ferocious at once. Anger could be seen on his hardened face.
“Who dares to tell you that you are an insignificant lizard!”
“No one said anything…!”
Startled, I responded reflexively. Silian, who was beside him, was also smiling brightly.
“I won’t punish you for telling me, so will you tell me? I’ll just scold you a little.”
I just woke up, who would have said that?
I just really thought so.
‘But a lizard with wings…’
I was speechless for a moment at the flapping wings that suddenly emerged. The reality I had been ignoring returned slightly.
“Why are you a lizard in the first place?”
Callan Etam swallowed a laugh and asked in response. He crossed his arms and looked at me as if he was frustrated.
“Didn’t you wake up and see yourself?”
Blinking my eyes a couple of times, I nodded.
“Didn’t your father tell you?”
“Yeah, I thought it would be nice if I could speak slowly.”
“Oh yeah?”
Callan Etham smiled as she rested her chin on the table. Then he shook his head and opened his mouth.
“You are not a lizard.”
“Yeah, it’s not a lizard…”
“It’s a dragon.”
“Aha, I’m Drago… Huh?”
Feeling hit on the back of the head, I opened my mouth and turned my head away.
“You are a dragon.”
“why…?”
why am i a dragon
It must have been an insignificant lizard the size of the palm of your hand. I thought it was just a mutant lizard.
‘But lizards don’t have wings.’
No, but isn’t it more likely that a lizard has wings than the probability that I’m a dragon?
“lie.”
am i a lizard?
There’s no way I could be such a great and scary creature.
Seeing my pupils tremble slightly, Kalan Etham strode forward. He grabbed my armpit and hugged me lightly.
“The only dragon lineage left in the world is the Etam family. And according to the ancient texts left behind by dragons, the chance of a dragon being born from the Etam family lineage is extremely low.”
Suddenly, a big boy hugged me high in the sky and smiled.
“It means that you are our fortune, Eirin.”
My eyes trembled finely.
“I…?”
“Yeah you.”
Callan pulled me tightly into his arms. I felt bewildered. I was always the one who played the role of a troublemaker.
“Kalan.”
“Yes…”
Kalan Etham replied bluntly, perhaps thinking that he had been interrupted by Erno Etham’s call.
“Eirin would be surprised, so put it down.”
“…You really have a lot of greed.”
Kalan muttered softly, but let me go to the table of honor.
“Daughter.”
“yes.”
“Let’s have some dessert first.”
He said, holding the tart to my mouth. The tart filled with green grapes even looked refreshing.
With food in front of me, I didn’t want to think about anything else.
I opened my mouth and Erno Etham put the tart in my mouth.
As I bit into it and chewed it, the sweet and refreshing scent filled my mouth.
“Umm…”
My body trembled at how delicious it was.
“Drink!”
When I replied excitedly with a mumble, he piled the tarts on my plate.
After eating dessert and drinks, my stomach felt full. He let out a breath in exasperation.
“I really enjoyed the meal!”
“It looks good when you eat well.”
Duke Mirel stroked my hair.
“I have work to take care of, so I’ll go.”
“Goodbye!”
“OK.”
“Then let’s go too. There will be many things you want to say and hear.”
“yes.”
Erno Etam naturally embraced me.
“Let’s have dinner together tomorrow, Eirin.”
“Yeah fine.”
“me too!”
“good!”
After dealing with Silian and Callan for the last time, we left the cafeteria.
All the way back to the room, Erno Etam was silent. And I didn’t say anything either.
‘Dragon…’
It was because I couldn’t believe it no matter how much I thought about it.
[And you don’t need a lizard ecology like that.]
[…]
[You don’t need it?]
[Your owner isn’t an ordinary lizard.]
[…Not a lizard?]
[Yes.]
Suddenly, in the past Lucillion’s words flashed through my head.
‘Could Lucillion already know?’
That I am not a lizard.
Then why didn’t you tell me? Doubts bit their tail after tail.
‘I’m a dragon?’
Even thinking about it again, I couldn’t believe it.
Certainly lizards don’t have these strange colors. But suddenly a dragon…
‘Even the soles were similar to something.’
round and flat.
Yes, like a monitor lizard…
“Dad, I could actually be a monitor lizard.”
“While you were asleep, I kidnapped the Komodo family in the southern continent… no, I brought them to confirm, but it’s not.”
“…hmm.”
“Why do you hate being a dragon?”
I shook my head at Erno Etam’s question. Although race is not a big problem…
“What if not…?”
People around me have expectations like this, but I wondered what would happen if I didn’t live up to those expectations.
“Or…”
Erno Etam chuckled.
“It is not.”
He shrugged lightly as if it was nothing.
“Then you are just my daughter. Of course, I was planning on giving the head of household job from the beginning.”
“yes?”
“Originally, I would have given it to you on your birthday five years ago. It’s not because you’re a dragon.”
He spoke so emphatically that it felt as if all of his anxious doubts had been washed away.
“So anything is fine, do what you want to do.”
