I couldn't bear it any longer and called out the alien life that had been sleeping in my body. I haven't called out the golden dragon for a very long time. It was because I was afraid that the dragon I had would act as a pressure on Strath. The golden dragon responded to my call and filled the sky at once, revealing its huge body that was several hundred meters high.
Watching me and Edrich raise their voices and confront each other, the knights on both sides were poised to draw their swords immediately. However, the moment the dragon casts a shadow on the ground, especially the Strath Knights, they were frozen on the spot and stopped moving.
The dragon received the same message of my anger and exploded into the air.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Every human in Mitchell Academy must have seen a dragon. People instinctively covered their ears in fear. Even the knights of El Pasher, who had already encountered dragons frequently, had their complexion turned blue.
After a while, the long echo ceased.
“This is great. To be honest, I thought the dragon was an excuse for awarding the Grand Duchess, but is this even true?”
In a situation where everyone was frozen hard and unable to move, only Edrich looked at the dragon and said his feelings. Edrich is also a sword master who has gone beyond his limits. That's probably why he doesn't shrink even when he sees a dragon.
“You are always at the level of the unimaginable. Come back to Strass. The golden dragon that resembles you will become a symbol of Strass.”
"go away. There is no more business there.”
Hearing repeated requests over and over again is now tiring. I didn't feel the need to be angry anymore. What kind of glory are you going to fight with that guy? When I thought of that, the anger disappeared, leaving only annoying feelings.
Edrich immediately noticed a change in my attitude. His face seemed to harden slightly.
He roughly stretched out his arms to the sky and summoned the dragon. The dragon, which boasted a body of several hundred meters, instantly changed to the size of an eagle and sat on his forearm. People were once again captivated by the mysterious sight of which the principle could not be grasped. With the dragon, I ordered the escorts to return.
“Stop there.”
Edrich warned me. I didn't react.
Suddenly, Edrich let out a loud roar from behind.
“I would have told you to stand there! You must keep your promise!!”
promise? Another promise?
It's the sound I heard when I was about to be robbed by a guy. When I remembered that, I had goosebumps all over my body. I grabbed my arm lightly. I didn't even want to think about it at the time. I decided not to have any meaningless regrets for Edrich any more. So now I really didn't have anything to talk about with him.
After leaving Edrich behind, I left. For a while, he greeted Cerdo with his eyes. Now you will never see them again.
The day to return to El Pasher drew near.

The gardener has densely planted only one type of flower in the garden. It's not a common case, but there were times to create a special atmosphere like this. To my eyes, the scenery of the garden was quite plausible. As I watched the red flowers bloom from afar, I suddenly looked back.
“Eddie.”
Little Eddie was walking a little further away, so he motioned for me to come by. Eddie, who came closer, spoke first, unlike usual.
“It’s the flower that bloomed when I first saw you.”
"okay?"
I tilted my head. I'm sure it was Eddie's first harvest from the garden, but I can't remember what flowers were blooming at that time.
“It’s a commercialization. I couldn’t forget it because it was so red everywhere.”
“Yeah, I remember being a red flower too.”
He smiled and stroked Eddie's hair. Eddie smiled shyly under my hand and shrugged his neck slightly, reacting like a puppy.
I walked around the garden again. Eddie hesitated a little, then opened his mouth again.
"older brother… … , So, do you remember what you promised me back then?”
"promise?"
When I asked what I was talking about, Eddie's face suddenly darkened. He said nothing and bowed his head slightly. I smiled and stopped bullying my poor little brother.
"guy. Can I ever forget?”
Eddie then raised his head again.
I looked away for a moment. Red flowers that stretched far away filled the field of vision. I remember that back then it was the same scenery as now.
“If you do not betray me, I will always be by your side and cherish you.”
I turned my head to look down at Eddie and smiled.
“Eddie, it’s a promise.”

I woke up and stared at the ceiling with blank eyes. The dream I had last night was vividly in my memory. I slowly got up and sat down. Even sitting down, he was numb for a long time.
After a while, I called the servant, changed clothes, and left the room. I immediately found Giskar.
Five days have passed since the incident. Giskar was resting on the bed. Although it was a fatal wound, first aid was properly taken with my magic, and the divine power of High Priest Chad was stronger than expected, so the wound itself healed completely within a few days. However, wounds treated with divine power recur easily, and recurrent wounds do not work well with divine power.
In addition, no matter how much treatment a priest receives, if he receives such a serious injury, his energy will be greatly reduced, and he will have no choice but to lie down in a sick bed and be stable. But Giskar was recovering day by day with amazing stamina. He was still sitting on the bed with a normal face, looking at the documents.
“You don’t seem to know what absolute stability means.”
He took the document from Giskar's hand and placed it on a table far away. I walked to the front of the bed and sat down lightly.
“I plan to delay my return schedule by ten more days. Riding a horse-drawn carriage consumes more stamina than I thought. I'm going to stay in neutral for a few more days and then leave for El Pasher."
“Ten days is too long. There will be people inside and outside wondering what is causing them to delay in neutral for so long. Jim’s condition has improved a lot now, so please just ask me to prepare so that I can leave on the scheduled day.”
“Even if you look fine right now, the wounds can get worse if you don’t. Even if you have some doubts, it's best to be as cautious as possible. Don't make people feel guilty about the wounds you've suffered because of me."
He lightly placed his hand on his wound. Giskar shook his head.
“It’s not because of you. It was because of Emperor Strass.”
"okay. It's not his fault... … .”
I put one knee on the bed. He leaned forward and put one arm around Giskar's shoulder and hugged him. Giskar looked greatly surprised. After biting, sucking, and hugging countless times, this guy is surprised every time I do it first. In fact, it was a little unfamiliar to me because I was doing something I had never done before.
A familiar smell lingered on the tip of his nose. For a moment, he buried his face in the nape of his neck and touched the scar left on his chest.
“You idiot.”
I just didn't know it sounded like that. I lifted my head and kissed Giskar's lips first. As if he was still not used to it, Giskar couldn't even keep pace with the kiss. I turned my head and pressed my lips together further. A strange feeling of elevation climbed up the nape of his neck whenever his tongue was warmly tangled.
He parted his lips and came out. Looking at Giskar, I stood up.
“I’m not looking at documents and I’m resting properly.”
"You're hiding something else. He said he would confide in Jim about anything.”
Giskar, who had been mesmerized even when I kissed him, stabbed him straight in the face. Not as good as me, but this guy is pretty quick. He has a good head, and as a monarch who rules a great empire, there is nothing to criticize, and it is probably his ability to compete for the highest level among sword masters. Opinions were divided, but the conversation went well in its own way.
I probably liked Giskar quite a bit. I think it's different from desperate love.
“You say you’re losing your mind by forcing me to listen to a story you don’t want to hear?”
“Don’t undo that.”
“What is it, your boy? I guess he wasn't that brazen in the first place?"
It's not like you're learning from this body. I laughed and joked with Giskar a few words. After a while, having a glimpse of him, I left the room.
"Lay."
Jiskar suddenly called my name.
“Don’t call people before you go out. It’s ominous.”
I smiled with my eyes and closed the door.
I looked out the window to see the sun was setting. I'm tired and I'm going to sleep early, so I've ordered the sentry in advance not to let anyone in. In that way, he dropped all the escorts and sneaked out of the dormitory.
I moved quickly and found Evan. Because I remembered the story Evan secretly told me when I was kidnapped by Edrich. You said you had a story to tell. Before I could talk to Edrich one last time, I thought I should meet Evan first and get some information.
I knew in advance that Evan would go out to eat alone around dinner time. As before, I waited on a moderately unpopulated street and dragged Evan inside as if kidnapped. Evan was startled, but when he saw my face, he quickly regained his composure.
“The Crown Prince.”
“I became interested in what Kyung said the other day. Tell me everything you know about Eddie.”
“… … .”
Evan said he had something to say, but when I told him to confess everything, he didn't open his mouth and remained silent. I waited patiently for information. After a while, Evan spoke with an atmosphere of determination.
“Before I go into detail, there is something the Crown Prince must see.”
"what?"
“You have to go to Strath first for that.”
I twisted my mouth at Evan's words.
“I didn’t know that even ordinary knights would look down on this body in a funny way. Are you going to take me to Strass with such a silly excuse?”
“I don’t mean that. What I'm going to show you is because it's in Strass Imperial Palace. Please stop by the Imperial Palace for a moment. I think it would be possible if you were the Crown Prince.”
