Ashes and Kingdoms

"What are you doing, man?"

He was whispered on his back at the same time as his voice. Finn answers over his shoulder with a calm face.

"As you can see, I'm doing laundry. That was surprisingly quick."

"A young man came all the way here to call me. Dear Dragon Marquis, When I came back in a hurry that I shouldn't keep you waiting, where and what the fuck did the Dragon Marquis do?"

The fins I'm totally accustomed to no longer move at all on the wording of the obnoxious Valt. Seriously spread the last one, clapping his shoulders.

"I had time, and the woman I was washing looked pretty rough and painful, and the baby was crying. Is there a reason why we shouldn't take turns?

"If you do that, I'll be mad at you! I'm an apprentice. Sometimes I wash my clothes!

"Why don't you do it?"

"Ugh!!

Oh, it's not cute anymore, Valt roars. Hearing the call, a woman from the building came out in a hurry. Finn turns his grin and shows the empty cage lifted up a bit.

It's over.

"All of it already? Thank you so much, thank you so much. I'm sorry, you know..."

The woman looks frightened at Valt as she thanks Finn. He thought this friendly young man was pissed off because of himself. Valt looked bitter and waved at the signs of denial.

"Never mind, this guy did whatever he wanted. Spend as much as you want, Dragon Marquis or not."

"Huh?"

The woman pounds on her lightly exposed identity. Finn blamed Valt with his eyes in his face, but he was repelled with one snort.

"I guess you'll be wondering who your kind brother is and asking someone later. I'll thank you for delivering something next time. Raw hatred, but this kid is Tianlong Hou and is usually in Nanais, so thanksgiving or something is just a hassle. Hey Phineas, let's go."

When Valt said to both Finn and the woman, he called Finn with his jaw and just walked out. Finn flaunted his shoulders and apologized with his eyes to the woman who was out of line with confusion and confusion before leaving the spot behind.

On the road to the Commander's Office, Valt continued to bump and blur.

"Damn, come on, if you flutter me like Dragon Hou, you think it's laundry in a slightly gazed gap what you can throw him away in a respectfully high place?

"What don't you like so much? You must be the one who called it in the first place, like," Come on. "If I look great in a fine chair, I'll turn around and flip right back."

"You idiot, apart from that and this. Be as great as you look when I'm gone, and I'm sure the citizens won't be relieved to be the dragon marquis of the drooling boy forever. Besides, it depends on the baby's diapers... even though he's a great kid."

Valt roared, then turned to Finn with a dubious face.

"You haven't, have you?

"Yeah, but I take care of Nellis' kid sometimes. Even in Nanais, we'll change or wash our diapers."

"Don't do this. Really at all... Hold on, yeah, I don't know if that lady's my mother anymore."

Oh, and Valt sighed loudly. Considering its heart, Finn just smiles bitterly.

Between Nellis and Mac there is now one girl and one boy at a time. When she had her first child, Nellis asked what would happen to Finn and Lena's son.

According to Lena's answer, a child born between a man and a dragon becomes close to a creature on earth. but still, like dragons, the regulator works to keep the power of the gods from breaking the equilibrium because it resides in them. The power of light is now slightly prevailing over darkness, so it doesn't seem like there will be a child on earth for a while, he said.

Hearing that, Nellis betrayed Finn's expectations and smiled full face.

(So you're free for the time being. You're not saying you don't want to take care of your pretty niece, are you?

Pushed in an unspoken tone, he was just a nod Finn at that time, but if you think about it later, it would have been a warmth to be Nellis. Even the Dragon Marquis has a sister and brother-in-law and a niece, and she's not disconnected from the Oandus family, she's family with us.

My heart soothes in warm memories and I get a natural and gentle look. He seems like a dragon marquis at that time, and it makes him look like he's watching people's worlds from a step away, but he didn't realize that.

arrow tip where Valt turned into a frigid, smelly face on the side and said something,

"Finn!"

With a voice that could play with joy, Lena revealed herself in the light. I don't mind a little Valt, she approaches Finn with a full smile.

"Vera, you were really big! I'm already walking! She's so cute!!

As if he had found it in a pile of treasures, Finn stroked her head in the face of nearly laughing out.

"Well, I'll see you later too."

"Yes!"

Absolutely, and all, Lena nods over and over, and then finally, turns Valt around to get confirmation. The greeting was also soaked and praised with great praise for her beloved daughter, and Valt made an extraordinarily bitter grin in an attempt to hide the smell of light.

"What, have you seen it already? Well, you can't help it if you're a lady... Yeah, more than that, tell your husband. I think it's better to dress like a little pissy."

Husband, roaring heavily pointing fingers at Finn at the. Lena became proper, staring again at her servant and companion, then leaning her neck in wonder and answering.

"Finn stays like this, she's very pretty, isn't she?

…………

"...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The fin of the moment covered his face with one hand, Valt dropped his disappointing shoulder and nodded, shaking his head. Lena, who weakened the two men, had her golden eyes all the time.

"Well, it's about the call."

When he arrived in the Commander's Office, Valt looked dutifully harsh and spread the map over his desk. It is a photocopy of a map of the Old Empire period, and the villages, towns and accommodation stations have been significantly modified. He placed heavy stones in the four corners before putting his fingers in a ton at the current location of Mulchia, from where he finally moved north.

Next to the round mark, Zulus, and a small, beautiful letter are attached.

"This village was the victim of a bandit. They attacked the livestock shed. Local farmers and merchants are also being targeted on the roads around the village. The first news came last month, and I sent one platoon just because I couldn't get my hands off it. But I couldn't find the thief's castle."

Valt says, fingering the point where the damage would have occurred, in tonnes and in turn.

"There's been a bit of burglary since then. Sometimes it hit traders in groups, and sometimes about a couple of people went into a farmer's barn to steal it. In all cases, they escaped clean and haven't been able to locate them. I've been out exploring the neighborhood about twice, but I don't have a clue what's funny."

"What do you mean? Fast escape doesn't mean he disappeared like smoke."

Finn frowns and confirms. The area shown is dotted with hills large and small with no prospects, and woods that are not in the hands of people, so it's great for bandits to escape in, but it should still leave footprints, signs, or traces of camp.

But Valt roared with a difficult face and shook his head.

"I just think so. Something's wrong. I can't help it, so it's Dragon Hou's turn. Fly away and find the thief Negijo. If we can even locate it, we can end this way."

"Okay."

"You just have to find it, I jumped in and devastated it by myself, like I used to, or don't add to the extra brave talk. It won't be my men's experience."

Stabbed with a nail, Finn nods with a bitter smile. I got in on my own before because it was an unavoidable situation. At a time when we have to build the self-defense capacity of the people who live on each piece of land, even if the robbers in the matter are a small group, it won't solve the fundamental problem if Finn cleans them up by himself. Besides, perhaps some of the bandits originally lived normally in the neighborhood. If the discerning can go out and persuade and bring him back, that's better.

"I'm coming. We'll be able to report back in the evening."

Finn said in a tone he didn't feel comfortable, giving a lot of salutes before leaving the room. Lena will also follow shortly thereafter with little footsteps. Gold and silver hair fluttered and waved according to her gait, wielding a soft light. As such Finn never tires of feeling happy and smiles.

He breathed much smaller and more relief as we walked outside together. I thought it might be serious because Valt would call it in. It's going to be easy to clean up.

If you're a normal person, you just walk around the earth and get lost, but if you go up in the sky, you don't have to worry about that. If the boiled smoke is up, you can find it right away, and even if it isn't, if you have dragon vision, you know where humans are clustered. It makes sense to say that I need more alone, etc.

"Oh, boy, it's convenient to use."

I'm happy to help protect people's lives, but I can't deny how subtle I feel. If it was a family favor, it wouldn't bother me, so is this because Valt told me to?

Lena laughed happily on the side and hugged Finn in the arm.

"You all love Finn!

"... I feel a little different"

but, well, okay. Finn grinned bitterly, stroking Lena's head before looking up into the sky.

Besides the little cotton clouds floating around, it's a neat blue sky. The view is good, and it will be cleaned up soon. I didn't have to put it in my mouth to go, and Lena spread her white wings wide.

- But that evening, Finn was to descend with a completely bewildered face in the same place.

"Didn't find it"

Valt peels his eyes off and complains to Finn, who has reported that to him in the Command Office. The face was so terrible that Finn was somehow made to feel like he had made a big mistake.

After a long and tense silence, Valt finally emitted the

"What happened?

It was as if I suspected how many words I had just reported it. The same goes for Finn, who doesn't know, scratches his head at twilight on the way.

"I don't see a group like that. I looked around that area pretty wide, but all I could see was a normal village, and there wasn't a group of people hiding in the woods... but there was just a place that felt a little strange."

"Weird what?

"I don't know. Something feels caught in there, but it feels weird, like you can't see it when you try to see it. It's north east of Zulus, behind the woods."

"What's going on, man? Someone's covering it so you can't even see it."

"Maybe that's close. Anyway, you can't even look at it from the sky. I'll walk into the woods once."

Finn said, nodding small enough to reassure Lena, who seemed worried beside her.

"I'll just see how it goes, but I'll come alone just in case. Well, if anything happens, it's gonna be okay because there's Lena."

"What's all right, I don't know who you are with that Tenryu-like power, fool"

Valt hurled a curse, arm-wrapped and roared abominably. Think often, then untie your arms, gasp your head and sigh one big sigh.

"I can't help it, do I go too? They know how to hide in the woods."

…………

Finn raised one eyebrow in silence. I dare not say anything in my voice. Valt took the paper scraps on the desk and threw them with an eloquent face.

"Shit, take me for a walk. I'm the one who gets chilly. There's nothing else I can do, so don't complain!

"I didn't say anything."

"My face says it! Fine, go to your quarters and have dinner, we'll be leaving soon!
