Desire

“... have you been having trouble sleeping? ”

Persian raises his head as he asks. I gave up teasing. Now that I've been pointed out, I can't give you any more credit. Persian grins as if he's fine.

“I had a nightmare. ”

“... nightmares? ”

“Yes. I slept alone yesterday. Maybe loneliness is just a nightmare. ”

Persian wriggles his chin. The black snow scent that was sipping coffee frowned and looked at Persian. “You've set the order fairly.” Persian shrugs at the smell of raw snow.

“What did I say about that? I'm just saying he's lonely, but he's overreacting. ”

Persian grunts, his lips puckering. It's okay. I didn't get caught. She raises her hand to touch her chest, thinking like that. I wish it was a nightmare. But it's not a nightmare. What happened at dawn was all true. She met Alcadion Rubihart, the vampire lord of the Black Forest.

And he had his heart pierced. Curse. Persian thought, chewing his lips well. I asked for time, and I got a week. He said he'd be back in a week for answers. It is impossible to run away. If you escape, the curse will strike and kill Persian.

‘But it's so sudden. ’

It bothers me. Alcadion has never captured Persian. Because she's on the move? No way. Haven't you noticed that all vampires come from all over the world just a long way away? Maybe it's the dragon in the Bull 's-eye desert. No, it can't be. If there was dragon interference, the Alcadions wouldn't have caught any enemies or other vampires in the line of fire.

Did you do anything remarkable? ’

No, nothing like that. If I had the attention, I should have received it from the front line. It's been a day since I arrived in Gracia. The Persians have never gone to any trouble. In the desert? Maybe he felt the struggle of dragons, dungeon masters, and azin. Persian glances frown.

Do I need to talk to someone else? ’

What? Suddenly, the Black Forest Vampire Road appears. He was asked to come to the Black Forest... and if you don't give him your answer within a week, your heart will explode and you will die. What would happen if I said that? I wonder what he'd look like.

Persian stares closely at Azin. If you tell the truth, how would he react? Should I shake it? Should I be angry? Will you protect me? Persian glances at the Raw Snow by Azin's side. It became natural for the three of us to be together. When Persian first met with Raw Snow, she had no idea it would have to do with Raw Snow. But it has become, in this relationship, fun to fight with each other.

It breaks.

‘.. he can't beat him. ’

This is a cold conclusion. The years of my life are too different. I can't, but I'm more of a dungeon master. Vampires. Even the weakest of wizards' greatest weaknesses. I can't deal with the current pain. What if she took a turn? No, you can't. Persian chews his lips well. It doesn't matter if the Black Snow can kill the Alcadion or not.

If the Alcadion is willing, Persian hearts will explode. This curse is a powerful curse that can kill even vampires. The Black Snow will kill the al Qadion before the curse strikes? No, he can't. The Alcadion is a truly meaningful vampire road. Unlike the Vampire Roads on the Island of Beginnings. He is a true immortal being.

Persian chews his lips well. No, I can't. Anxiety creeps up. Why is this happening all of a sudden? Why did the al Qadion capture me? How? I can't answer his questions. I didn't do anything remarkable. So, why?

Like someone tipped him off.

“Persian?”

When I heard the question, she shook her head in horror. He looks worried and sees his face. Persian smiles bitterly. “I'm sorry. I was thinking of something else.” She mutters like that and drinks a little chilled coffee.

“.. are you okay? You don't look so good. ”

At that, Persian smiled.

“I'm a vampire. You always have a bad look on your face. ”

I avoided answering with jokes. I smile forcefully, but my heart doesn't calm down. The beating heart trembles in horror. What happens to me? I think about it slowly, but it doesn't work. Honestly, I'm scared. Of course, this has never happened before.

On the island of beginnings, she was the most powerful vampire. I realized that it was a small world, and it was after I came to this world. In the line of work, she never properly felt that she was in danger of life. She was always a few steps away from the case. Fighting the enemy was painful, and always has been. Persian was just helping Azin.

But this time it's different. Alcadion Rubihart. His powerful enemy is targeting only Persian forces. Go to the Black Forest. I told you it wouldn't be bad. Specifically, he said he would help me build my own clan. You said you'd talk to the Queen of the Black Forest.

... Queen of the Black Forest. Persian's head spins fast. One of the most intimidating creatures in Gracia at the moment is the Queen of the Black Forest. Persian body trembles.

If you follow the Alcadion, you will find the Queen of the Black Forest. There's a lot about the Queen of the Black Forest that's hidden away. You'll get to know her.

“.. ”

“What? ”

Persian, who was obsessed with his own thoughts, raises his head in fury. Seeing such a Persian, Azin tilts his head as if it were strange. “I'm sorry, I didn't hear that.” Persian smiles bitterly. Azin nods again.

“We're leaving the Hizen one last time. ”

Ajin said in a bold tone. “Leaving?” Persian tilts his head. You haven't focused on the story at all. Azin thinks that and stares directly at Persian's face. Something was wrong with Persian today. No mood, no face. I know you don't want to feel bad about it, but...

“There's no reason to stay in the Hizen. There's nothing to get here. ”

We've already talked about this, but Ajin said it again.

“The goal in the first place was to use Gold's connections to contact the lord of the Hizen. Even if you get the Lord's recommendation, there is no guarantee that you will become a nobleman. Then we have to go in a certain way. Quickly. So we leave Hizen today and head to the capital, Criocel. You get your public ID in Criocell, go to the Battle of Adim and be a knight in shining armor. ”

“... the temple. ”

Persian mutters in a dazed voice. Can you lift the curse from the temple? That can't be right. There's no way she, a vampire, could have gotten her hands on divine magic. Persian smiles freely.

“.. what happened to you? ”

Azin asked with a worried face. The question shook Persian's head. “No, not really.” She raises her head to say so.

“You said you were leaving immediately, right? Then I'll go to my room and get ready to leave. ”

“Oh, yes. ”

After Ajin nods his head, Persian smiles widely and turns away. Azin glances at the distant Persian back and glances at the black snow scent. “Any guesses?” Raw snow gives a slight frown to the question of Azin and shakes his head.

“I don't know. Something's come up.”

“... worries. ”

I had no idea. Ajin raises his body while touching his chin. Should I ask him? But it seems like Persian doesn't want to be seen. Let's just leave him be for now. I leaned toward you. Azin turns, nodding his head.

“Are you walking? ”

“No. I'll use the warp gate. It's going to cost a lot of money... but I'd rather spend a little more on this than walk to Criocell. ”

A little tricky. Yesterday, when you used the Warp Gate for the first time, you didn't think it was going well, but if you put Raw Snow scent and Persian in the shadows, you can use the Warp Gate by yourself. The cost of three people is reduced to one person.

“Are you leaving already? ”

I came to tell Goldwa that I was leaving and hit an unexpected obstacle. Azin looks down at the face of embarrassed gold coins looking up at him with a crying face. It's negligible, but gold coins are grandchildren of gold. He's just being cool. He's got nothing better to do.

“.. Yes. There's nothing to see in the Hizen. ”

“Are you going to Criocel? ”

Gold asked. Azin nods, and the gold coins start sniffing. Why are you crying? Ajin glanced at the gold medallion with a embarrassed face. When Azin's gaze touches, the golden flower flickers, startled, and raises its hand to flush its eye area. But the tears did not stop, and her cheeks drifted.

“This is it. I'm sorry. My granddaughter is right.”

“No, I'm fine. It could be. ”

I still don't understand why I'm crying, to be honest. Azin clears his throat when he looks at the gold coins. “I'm going to Criosell to get my citizen ID and go to the temple of Adim.” Gold nodded his head.

“That would be the quickest way to become a nobleman. ”

I opened the drawer at my desk, saying that with Gold. He took out a white piece of paper and wrote a fountain pen next to it. Then I got up and approached him.

“It's a bill that can be used by any bank in Gracia. Bring it to me and I'll give it to you in cash. ”

“.. why all of a sudden? ”

“Think of it as two years worth of blood-dragon money. Or think of it as my investment. ”

Ajin received the bill from Goliwa. 10 billion gold. Ajin's eyebrows twitched. It was more money than I thought. Azin's gaze rises and he sees the face of Goldfish. When Azin's eyes met, he smiled bitterly.

“Don't burden yourself. I've already made that profit a long time ago. And I believe that by giving it to you, you will benefit even more. ”

“.. this is it. I should try to live up to my beliefs. ”

Azin mutters like that and puts the notes in his arms. I felt I didn't have to ask for money. When Azin received the bill, he smiled softly.

“I wish you all the best for your work. ”

“Me too. I wish you continued success in your business. ”

Azin said that, then glanced at the gold coins. The golden coins are sniffing and screaming. Is that supposed to comfort him? Azin looks at Gold and his side. I was looking at the gold coins as if they were challenging. Ajin sighs and approaches the golden coin.

“Lady.”

When I heard the voice calling, I carefully listened to the golden coin. I looked at the pain in my red eyes while I was crying. Ajin approaches in front of the gold medallion, lowers his body and looks at her.

“Why are you crying? ”

“Oh, it's been a long... day... since you've been gone.”

“Are you sad that I'm going? ”

Ajin smiles and asks. The question made him nod his head, sniffing. Azin looks up at the face of the gold coin for a moment and reaches out and strokes her head.

“I'll be right back. ”

He said that in a soft voice. The golden coin looked at Ajin with a surprised face. Azin smiled thinly at the gold medallion.

“The next time I come, I'll bring you something you'll like. ”

“.. yes. ”

She stopped crying and nodded her head. Ajin raises his head and says,

“She's cuter to smile than to cry. ”

That said, the face of the golden coin became clear. Azin sighs behind her back, looking at the gold coins lowering his head.

Kids are hard to deal with.
