Dragon Poor

“I'd like to talk to you more, but I can't help it. So don't be sad. ”

King Theodore was quite fatigued. The princess who had helped with the bureaucracy in a way that had been responsible for a large part of the foreign affairs was in the middle of an adult ceremony, so she seemed to be alone.

“Then be well respected. ”

At this time, Kim Sun-hyuk also said goodbye without dragging us away because avoiding us quickly is the way for each other.

“What's more surprising? ”

Rather than answering his question, the little dragon flaps its wings and lets out a low rumble.

Stationery.

I thought I would smile without knowing the sound of crying that I heard a lot somewhere. However, he had to swallow the smile that had risen to the tip of his chin.

Hwa-oh!

Geheim spreads his wings like a butterfly. Some of the geometric patterns that were engraved on the fancy wings began to glow. Then, like a three-dimensional shape, it popped out and emitted fantastic light in the air.

Gehymnis, who had been chattering like a chatty lady, had never been there. There was only a mystical fairy dragon.

Kim sun-hyuk tried to vomit a little admiration at the fantastic sight.

Old sphere.

The sudden awakening of the dragon's cry makes him unable to concentrate on the sights in front of him.

Geheim, who knows his inner self or not, looked back at the flash and said.

[This place isn't a good place to talk. That's why I had to do things my way.]

“Magic is forbidden in the castle. ”

The castle was filled with knights of the Royal Family Guard who could summon the spirits immediately. After casting such chaotic magic in such a place, the commotion became inevitable.

[Do you think this is just magic?]

However, unlike him, Geheim didn't seem worried at all.

“No?”

[Even if I see it with my own eyes because I am invisible, it is my source and source.]

Even though I was curious, it wasn't Kim Sun-hyuk who couldn't understand.

“So, the Wizards of the Realm can't see what you've done? ”

[Arcane Magic never leaves a trace unless the caster wants it to.]

A secret magic that even monster-like wizards would curl up in the castle. It was a moment when Geheim carelessly thought about because he was just a chatterbox.

“So what's so surprising? ”

But I couldn't just admire the tiny power of the dragon forever. I was very curious as to why Geheimmis, who was not as careful as he was, had to take the fall for this mysterious magic.

[Because he had something he shouldn't have.]

Kim Sun-hyuk, who locked himself in his room and opened his mouth, was invited to breakfast the next day.

“What are you so numb about? ”

Kim Sun-hyuk, who was troubled by other thoughts, didn't even know if the food went into his nose or into his mouth, woke up from the laughable voice of King Theodore.

“Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking of something else for a while. ”

“Now that you have sold one eye in front of me, I must ask you for your sins. ”

It was a bold tone, but the voice and expression full of jokes were familiar.

“I'm kidding. So don't look so tough. ”

At the king's words, he hung his face without my knowledge. No, the facial muscles that were really tightened were stretched so much that I felt them on my fingertips.

‘There are not many talents granted to one human being. There are clear limits to human beings, as there are ways to get away from magic when handling a sword, and as there are ways to get away from a sword when exploring magic. ’

Geheim said.

‘But he has so much. ’

The immeasurable potential and talent of King Theodore is never normal.

“It's because something big is about to happen. You seem to have a lot on your mind today. ”

“I'm sorry."

I made the same mistake twice about the ruler of a country. Nevertheless, he could not get rid of his misgivings.

“Yes. It's confusing. You'll need some time, too. ”

The eyes of the king speaking in a friendly tone were somewhat reluctant. At first, I thought it was because of the burden of the work that I had to do due to the absence of the princess.

‘There are so many wicks on one candle, I have to shine brighter than the other. But the cost of his life, the seconds allocated to him, burns faster than anyone else's. ’

But it wasn't. The shadow on the king's face was like a premonition of death.

‘If I wanted to slow down a little bit, I wouldn't have set too many wicks on fire, maybe I knew my own destiny. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have suppressed his talents like that. ’

Geheim even said that King Theodore would already know of his fate.

“But your confusion is like the ritual of all men together, so it won't last long. ”

The king speaks to him in a playful tone and shakes his hand.

“Go back and rest. There should be no damage to the groom's body before the ceremony. ”

King Theodore asked me to go back, but Kim Sun-hyuk didn't let go.

In fact, I have never personally made contact with King Theodore. They had always been loyal to each other as kings and servants, and even brought what they needed with the concept of trading.

Nevertheless, he mourned the death of the king who was sentenced to this deadline.

King Theodore has always offered a reasonable price, and kept all his promises. It was not easy for the king and his subordinates, but the relationship between the general workplace supervisor and his subordinates.

With Theodore gone, I had no choice but to feel heavy.

‘Next time you see her, call her Ophelia. ’

A glimpse of Princess Ofelia slips by. Pretending to be as mature and vigilant as an old man was a pregnant princess, but not before her father's death.

The king's parenting method was different from that of the people, but not even the wealth contained in it. Perhaps he was trying to rush the princess' wedding because the king himself was aware that his death was not far off.

“Well…. ”

I sat down and remembered the girl with tears, and my heart kept filling up.

“Your Majesty.”

“Is there something you want to say? ”

The eyes of King Theodore were so peaceful that they could not believe it was the life of a man sentenced to death.

“No, it's just that you look very tired... ”

Watching that didn't make my mouth drop.

“Don't worry about me. Take care of yourself. Your body won't be your own from now on. ”

When he could no longer speak, King Theodore glanced at all the star-crossed people and laughed.

“Your Majesty.”

Kim Sun-hyuk once again called the king.

“Do you have anything else to say? If you have something to say, say it without hesitation. What is there to say between you and me? ”

Even though it was just an outrage, King Theodore's words were full of trust.

“Strange. Very strange. The dragon I know is not someone who hesitates when speaking. But you look like someone else today. ”

The king had a curious look on his face as to whether his attitude was strange.

“If what you hear bothers you, I'll bite you. ”

Those who watched the meal scared to death left the breakfast cabinet. All that was left was him and the king, who hesitated and then opened his mouth.

“Tell me honestly. Are you sure you're okay? ”

“I've been feeling exhausted lately, but I'm not worried about you... ”

“If anything happens to the king, the princess will mourn. ”

There was no greater rudeness than this, because the monarch of a country cut his tongue in the middle.

“So you have to be honest. ”

“What are you trying to say? ”

The stiff face of the king was hardened without before. The sound of the day even flattered me like a nobleman.

“What would you do if you could slow down the changes in your body? ”

However, Kim Sun-hyuk took out a word that he had endured all the time without giving in to the sharp words of the king.

“You. Speak. What the hell do you know so far? ”

As expected, King Theodore's reaction was only cold.

“We know that your body is not normal. ”

It was no small thing that the life of the monarch had reached the realm of awareness, and it was no small thing to say. How much more can the monarch forbid it if he has hidden it himself?

“What the hell do you know? ”

The king never shouted or threatened. I just asked him in a voice. However, the majesty of the abstraction in that quiet voice was never light.

Kim Sun-hyuk gripped it with an intense force that had never been felt by the Grand Duke Reinhardt, who was the strongest in Gradus No. 4.

The dice are thrown. You can't bite them now.

“I know there's not much life left. ”

“Even if I look down on you, I can't take your word lightly... ”

“We also know how to prolong His Majesty's lifespan. ”

King Theodore, who had risen from his throne to summon the royal knights, remained steadfast in his words.

“What the…. ”

“It doesn't matter how I know what I know. ”

Kim Seon-Hyuk looked up at King Theodore, who was stiff.

“Will you trade with me? ”

It was a little harsh, but the conversation with the king was not so different from what he usually shared with him.

“Of course, what I'm going to give you is a new wick to replace the burned wick. What will you give me? ”

King Theodore has not spoken for a long time, even after his words were ended.

“Amazing.”

After a long time, King Theodore sat down in a shabby chair.

“I am astonished that you know this and also have a solution. ”

“Are you telling me the truth now? ”

“Come now and hide something. You're right. I didn't have much time left. ”

Honestly, even at the moment when I told him that his death was not far away, the eyes of the king did not shake at all.

“This is like the heavenly body that the blood of Adesden must bear. ”

“Ah…. ”

I've heard so much from Geheim, but he didn't even realize it was a genetic issue for the Ades.

“It's going to be a long story. ”

King Theodore stands up and gestures to follow him.

* *

“For generations, the House of Adesden has been decimated. But not from the beginning. ”

King Theodore told the whole story, a locked room set in the deepest part of the inner sanctuary.

“It began about 200 years ago, when the blood of Adesden became evident. ”

The king continued to look him straight in the eye.

“200 years ago, people like you appeared in this world. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk, who realized what the king was talking about, groaned without even knowing it.

“Did you summon the Great? ”

The king nods at his suppressed voice.

“Yes, it all began 200 years ago. ”
