The sun is about to fall.

No, it was falling a long time ago.

It was a long time ago that the sun called Zalwarn rose and stuffed it. Nor, if it had only ascended to a low heaven and stuffed it, and it had not become the largest country in the group of small continental nations, had it not chanted victory. The height that the sun called Zalwarn was able to ascend was only to such an extent that it could be instantly overcome by Gandia.

It seems to have been the reality of the great power Zalwarn that maintaining that height was all he could do. And it's something I don't know because it's her beloved husband who created the situation.

"What's up? Something on my face?

As Luig peered into the girl's face on the side, she gave a strange look. Merrill-Ragnahorn. I'm a seventeen-year-old girl, as it seems, but she was a wife. It was three years ago, when I was fourteen years old, that I married Nurless-Ragnahorn, a military teacher who ran from Gandhia to Zalwarn, but it's not unusual.

A means to consolidate the position of Nahless, who was a Gandhian warrior, would be even worse.

Nares earned the trust of Mirelbas, the king of Zalwarn, and welcomed his daughter, or the princess of Zalwarn, to his wife. By doing so, Nares' position became stable and his work must have been accomplished. It was Nares who used Merrill's political marriage as a ploy. Now that Nares' sabotage has been discovered, is her chest full?

"No, no, it's not a big deal. After all, the aristocrats were just impressed with the way our faces were made."

Then it's as if we're not human beings.

"Isn't the Pendragon family a dragon?

"I'm human. At least me and my husband are human beings."

"Well, I knew the Master was human."

"Will a human marry a dragon?

"Ha..."

Luig looked around, trying to divert his gaze from her. The township of the Dragon Mansion, which entered like a labyrinth, was lit up by a sunset full of blindness and stained red. A few hours after breaking into the Dragon Palace along with Miliu-Libaien. The landscape in your eyes should be the same, but it feels like you're looking at a completely different landscape.

A number of breathtaking buildings have had the same impact on Rüg since the time of the invasion. I guess the beauty of the landscape is something that has been fostered in Zalwarn's long history, so much so that even a dull person of sensibility like Rüg stops and sees it.

Zalwarn is a country far older than Gandia and Azark and one of the smaller groups of nations with a particular history.

(That's the ancient capital, it feels like)

Ancient Dragon House. It is said to leave behind a landscape that remained built hundreds of years ago, but that would probably be a lie. At least, it must be exaggerated. It must be the current Dragon House that has been repaired and renovated many times. Otherwise, we can't possibly maintain the landscape that surrounds him or anything. Even if the building itself is sturdy, it can't possibly not be damaged by natural or man-made disasters. Human beings are the things that make mistakes. No matter how well educated you are and how strongly controlled you are, when you fail, you fail. That's human.

Unless they're all dragons.

That's impossible, considering the formation of a country called Zalwarn. Only the Pendragon clan, the ruling class of Zalwarn, is responsible for the descendants of dragons. And that girl from the Pendragon clan denies being a dragon descendant. Most importantly, I don't have to accept everything she said, but Merrill-Ragnahorn didn't look very public. She was an elegant and beautiful woman.

Merrill-Ragnahorn.

When Luig found her, she named herself that. It wasn't Merrill-Ryburn, it was Ragnahorn. It showed that she was still the wife of Nares-Ragnahorn.

She said she was the wife of the Nares-Ragnahorn before she was a member of the Ryburn family. If so, then it makes sense to live with the nurse and die with the nurse. So why is she alive?

That's because she hasn't been able to confirm Nares' death.

Nares was imprisoned as soon as he was taken into custody. They didn't kill him instantly. They didn't even torture me. Apparently, her father, Lord Mirelbas of the Nation, was going to re-enroll Nahless after defeating Gandhia. What a sweet story, but that would mean that Nahless' prowess had been bought.

She seems to have met with Nares in prison on several occasions. He used the power of the Pendragon clan to dive in, and lay on top of each other, but I felt that Luig was also stunned by his ability to act. But when Mirelbus found out that she was seeing Nares, she was put under house arrest at the mansion. You must be worried that Nares will use her to communicate with the outside world.

Meryl didn't give up. They moved the private soldiers of the Ryburn family in secret and tried to make contact with the Nares, but that ends in vain. Nahless's cell was moved to another location. Still, she believed in the survival of Nares and was letting private soldiers explore. Turns out he's only alive, but he picked up today, not knowing where he was.

It was then that Luig infiltrated the Ryburn family mansion and met her face to face. Naturally, although Meryl was wary, she wept a great deal when she told her that it was to honor the promises of Nahless and Leongand Ray-Gandhia.

'I, you loved me so much...'

She said, but I guess you're right.

Nares loves Merrill and Merrill loves Nares.

The whole way of that love is something that makes you want to narrow your eyes, but at the same time it doesn't matter. It's not the kind of situation where you can stay out of depression even though it's love.

"So what if we hurry? If you want to sneak into Heavenly Wheel Palace, now is the time."

The Dragon House is now fussed by the arrival of Gandhian troops. Most of the people in the Dragon Mansion are evacuated and noisy are military personnel and officials who remained in the Dragon Mansion.

The showdown outside the Dragon House apparently ended in an overwhelming victory for Gandia. The battle death of Zalwarn national lord Mirelbas-Ryburn has been passed on to the Dragon House, and the information, Rüg heard from Merrill. It turns out that the bulk of the battle was over by the time Ryburn's mansion was found. The power difference was immense and the victory was unquestionable, but when this is settled so lightly, it is Rüg who has to question his existential significance. Gandhian soldiers had already avalanched in from the south gate of the Dragon Mansion, and it was only a matter of time before the Dragon Mansion was suppressed by Gandhia. I mean, wasn't it necessary for Luig to sneak in alone and keep Merrill safe? Of course, it would mean that Miliu's help was unnecessary.

"Yeah. Hurry up. I have a strange heartbeat."

It was, for one thing, Merrill's request that we aim for a palace that can be found in the heart of the Dragon House. If the imprisoned nurse was transferred, it was her guess that it might not be deep underground in the Heavenly Wheel Palace. Whether that speculation is correct or not is not known to Luig, who is oblivious to the circumstances of Zalwarn, but if she could not find her way through Ryufu using private soldiers, she should be seen as locked inside the Heavenly Wheel Palace, where even her private soldiers could not enter. Is it alive or is it dead? No, I had to head anyway if I was to be sure of my life and death.

I can't wait for the dragon house control by Gandhia because if Nares were alive, he might be killed by multiplying the confusion of Gandhian troops entering the house. Nares said there were also many enemies, although he was revered by the Zalwarn military as a god. Turned out to have been connected to Gandia, what was more hostile than the former became more fierce hostility, with the appearance of intense malice among those who worshipped him. I guess Meryl was put under house arrest at the Ryburn family mansion even to protect her life from those people.

While acknowledging the love of Mirelbas-Ryburn, the lord of the land and his real father, Merrill nevertheless tries to pierce his love with Nares.

(Honorable)

It is an emotion that dogs do not understand.

But I don't mind not understanding. He hurried to Heavenly Wheel Palace, surprised that Merrill could move more easily than he thought. Heavenly Ring Palace is a castle-like palace that can be found in the heart of the Dragon House. From anywhere in the dragon palace, I could worship its enormous and magnificent buildings, never lost my way.

I didn't get lost until I infiltrated the Dragon House and headed over to the Ryburn family, but that was because there was a guide named Miliu. She didn't want to meet Merrill face-to-face or leave the Ryburn Mansion saying she was waiting outside, but that was a bad idea.

When Luig freed Merrill and returned outside the mansion, Miliu's appearance had disappeared.

(Nasty hunch... is that him?)

No way, I don't think Miliu-Lebayen is going back to Zalwarn, but it's not unthinkable. It's not impossible. She was defeated fighting Niewe-Diabras - Setuna Zenon-Kamiya - and only became a prisoner of Gandia. I didn't pledge allegiance to Gandia or anything. It's not a dog.

(Dragon...?)

A man-made dragon created with the Dinobot Cave and the Doraemon.

That's Miliu-Lebien.
