We Live in Dragon’s Peak
Emerging issues
Gusferth, the Dark Dragon, puts me, Lyla and the King on his back and leaves the Palace.
Outside the outhouse, landscapes such as idyllic countryside were spreading. Far away, of course, I can see the gorgeous streets of the Wang capital, but around the remote palace, fields and parks expand, to the extent that peasant houses are dotted.
And Gusfels relaxes down the flower path, which is full because of my dragon art.
From the ground's point of view, the effects of the surgery were also affecting the fields, and the farmers seemed busy working on an early fall harvest.
From Gusferth's back, looking at such idyllic scenes, the king opened his mouth.
"It's Ernea. This time, Non's family caused a great deal of trouble. My deepest apologies."
The king stands with Lyla's dragon technique adsorbing his legs on Gusferth's back and supported by Lyla.
I'm standing on the opposite side of Lyla, but I don't think I need this support. The king had left himself to Lyla's care.
By the way, who are you referring to as a family? Are you talking about the prince? Is this about the princess?
Maybe it's both.
The king shifted his gaze from peasants and people lying flat on the side of the road to me and continued his words with a serious look.
"Bariatel was an ambitious man. That's enough for the throne..."
I didn't know how to hammer him, so I shut up and listen to the king.
"When I was a little girl, I used to tell Non that I knew what dragons were willing to do. But something like that can't even grasp a non who has followed a dragon for years. I laughed at the kid's bullshit and didn't try to fit it in."
Apparently, Bariatel had a dragon heart, too. Besides, since childhood.
"But now, if Noun had listened properly to Bariatel's words at that time, he might not have come to the bent idea of plotting a rebellion and holding the throne in his hand to show his power."
Now that I'm dead, I can't confirm Bariatel's thoughts. So, everything is speculative, but the incident that happened remains a fact.
The king deeply apologized for our involvement in Bariatel's rebellion and once again expressed his gratitude for his dedication to the solution.
I honestly accepted the king's apology and gratitude because even for me he was not willing to steam the case back, and when the king bowed his head over and over straight away, he felt strangely itchy on his back.
"One more thing. There's something I need to tell Ernea about my family."
A switch in the king's subject tells how Lyla gets nervous.
I saw the king with a serious look that I was going to be the real deal too.
"Non had only one daughter."
A king who speaks in his past form. But I'm not upset because I'm already ready for Lyla.
After the king sees me and Lyla asking only a few questions, he shifts his gaze away.
Gusferth has not been instructed, but he is not headed to any destination, he is walking in a relaxed foothold.
I wonder if Gusfels is enjoying the outside world because of its long time outdoors as well.
Nevertheless, Lila and the king also raised their gaze after my gaze, which looked up at the sky.
In the air, the tyrants, who were supposed to have flown away once, were now flying around with the addition of Master Yugra.
In the distant sky you can see the Knights of the Flying Dragon. There, as the tyrant and Master Yugra approached with Fiorina and Reem, he repeated time and again how the Fei Dragons rushed to scatter and flee.
I'm sure the Feilong Knights are trying to escort the king. No matter how much you glorify me as a hero and how much Gusferth the Dark Dragon is, you can't neglect the most important person in the country.
I can't escort you from nearby, but I guess you tried to escort me away from the sky. Because at the speed of a flying dragon, you can rush instantly from the distance you can see even in case.
But above us, the unserved tyrants must be flying around and unable to escort them properly.
Well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to feel more comfortable with tyrants and Yugra-sama flying around in half the play than with the Flying Dragon Knights.
The king also continued to talk with his gaze up about how the tyrants and the Flying Dragon Knights were not particularly concerned.
"One daughter's name is Ortina. She was a very active, heartfelt, proud daughter."
The king gave himself to Lyla, just a little bit.
"But there was only one flaw in my pretty proud daughter. The dragon is reluctant for Ortina to get close, and he's going to storm. Ortina herself seemed interested in the dragon, but the dragon wouldn't allow it. This was a fatal issue as royalty of Yortenitos. You know it. The royal family of this land must follow the dragons, men and women, and fight for their people."
Near the eastern border, many demons still gush and the situation seems unstable. The military power of the kingdom of Jortenitos without fear of war with other countries. Firrell explained to me when, among other things, the Dragon Knights' power was basically directed at the stability of the eastern side of the country, right?
"Noun tried to get Ortina and the dragon closer somehow, betting on this Gusferth who ran the battlefield with him for years. But, well, that ended in failure."
The king looked down at Gusferth and clouded his eyes sadly when he saw his crippled body.
"As you can see, Noon became half-hearted and lost his precious daughter"
Precisely after the incident and the King's loss of liberty. Goldoba, a demonic tribe involved in the disturbance of the incident, instigated Bariatel and the Queen to make Princess Ortina a deceased.
I can tell now that Bariatel knew what Princess Ortina was capable of when he heard it from the Dragon Clan with a dragon heart. And instead of advising him on Ortina's abilities, Bariatel, who had begun to be ambitious at the time, moved to eliminate ambition.
But I couldn't rule out every life. I guess that was the King's effort, but still not powerful. Princess Ortina was killed for her existence.
"I don't mind being perceived as an excuse. ugly and feminine, I don't care what they curse me now. But I want to say."
The king's gaze was directed at Lyla at some point.
"Non still loves her daughter wholeheartedly. I care about it. I feel sorry for my daughter because of her lack of strength, but if she was still alive, I'd like her to be happy."
Many thoughts of the king took hold of her gaze, and Lyla lays down her eyes. But on the contrary, Lyla also grabbed her clothes hard as she approached the distance to lean against the king.
The princess, who once declared herself dead, was actually alive. I guess I can't announce it as a country. It sounds corporeal and may affect your appetite for royalty.
As one man, father, I want my lost daughter back somehow. But from the standpoint of the Lord of one country, the King, we have to take precedence over our personal thoughts.
The King's intricate eyes told the story of it all, and Lila noticed it too.
Of course I'm aware of it. So I didn't do anything to water the king's thoughts, nor did I say more to Lyla than I needed.
I think it's very important and necessary for these two to have time to lean in silently right now.
When I stood silently and watched to keep the two worlds from breaking.
'What has happened, there can be no going back even if you can regret it. Then it will be important to know how to fix it in the future'
Gusferth spoke to herself like she wasn't telling anyone.
Gusfelds is right. I can't change the past. Not to mention, if that was something I couldn't influence, no one would be happy no matter how much I regret it.
The king and Lyla were able to get close. I guess these two don't need a past anymore. I think what we need is a bright future ahead.
Until I strive for that lovely future.
"The King."
In my words, the king looked back at Lyla.
"Let me make just one supplement"
"What is it?
"I'm talking about Princess Ortina. She wasn't hated by dragons. The princess had a very special ability. The ability to rule the dragon. But their abilities didn't match those of Ortina at the time, so the dragons were afraid and frightened of the outburst of power."
Now the king was listening to my words.
"So wasn't Princess Ortina the best royalty of all time? I think the king is good to be proud of the princess. As a proud daughter, I think you should continue to love her. Oh, by the way. Your Lyra has made her ability to rule the dragon and is now loved by the red lotus flying dragon playing in the sky."
When I smiled and put in the supplement, the king looked up at the sky as surprised and saw Lyla.
"It's Lyla. You've grown up nicely."
"Yes."
The king and Lyla stared at each other and finally smiled.
"I said happily that they had nice friends and dear family. I am glad that Elnea and others are more smiling in their circles."
The king gently strokes Lyla in the hands of those who do not have a cane.
"Yes, my king. I have a report for you."
"Reporting?
"Yes. Lyla is already an integral part of my family. At the end of my fifteen-year-old year of traveling, I'm going to marry her. I wanted to report it to the King, and we came here from Dragon Peak."
I felt my chest beat faster for some reason.
I don't know. I just declared my marriage to Lyla to the king, didn't I?
I'm not saying go to your father-in-law and let him marry your daughter. The same tension that surrounded me when I greeted Mistral's parents.
The king opens his eyes wide and looks at me silently.
Lyla looked a little anxious, alternating between me and the king beside the king.
"... right"
With a voice like he had finally squeezed out, the king leaked a word, a word.
Are you upset or surprised? He looked back into his eyes, which were wide open, and now he looked at me with a sharp gaze.
I also looked back at the king with a sincere eye.
"... If my daughter were alive, I would never have doubted she would have been a wonderful woman like Lyla. You said you'd marry that lila. Can you declare that you will treat me dearly and will love me for the rest of my life?
"Yes, you can declare. Oh, but..."
The edge of the king's brow shakes with a tinge at the bad toothpick of my words.
"Actually, every woman I've ever taken is my future daughter-in-law"
"What the fuck!?
Now it was clear that a surprise appeared in the king's eyes.
"... Um, do you also marry your grandmother twins? And a witch and a daughter named Dragon Man? Even that little girl!?
"Ahhh. Toddler girl, or Priscia, she's not. She's the only child we keep."
The king's face is drawn.
Sora well. I will marry Lyla. I wonder if my daughter-in-law was too irritating for the monogamous King of the Kingdom of Yortenithos to say that he has other daughter-in-laws, as he chases after the proclamation...
Me and Lyla drank spit and waited for the king's thought to come back to life.
Oh, and for some reason Gusferth sighs like a shudder.
No, no, no, because I didn't increase it in an attempt to increase it, did I?
I hope you don't misunderstand.
After a while, the king finally returned his pulled face and stared at me again.
"I prefer hero colors. I mean, I didn't know it even applied to cute boys like you."
"Hey, King, it's a misunderstanding. I'm not that mundane, am I?
"No, no, I didn't say mundane. Isn't that good? All those around Ernea seem to be trying to support them firmly. Respond properly to their thoughts. But I want you to think about Lyla the best you can."
"Everyone is the best. There's no sequence."
I can only say on this occasion, will I?
But the king nodded to me whether he was satisfied with my words.
"Right, marriage... if you're marrying Lord Hero, I'd love for you to summon me to the wedding. If it is the sunny stage of those who have saved Jortenitos, let us name the country and bless it."
"Yes. At the wedding!...... eh!?
Think about it.
The king has called me a hero, but he's just a civilian of the kingdom of Arms, isn't he?
I'm sure the wedding will take place in the Kingdom of Arms. Wouldn't it be a lot of noise if the king of the neighboring country turned up there?
... Speaking of which, are Yufi and Nina there as well? So, maybe the king of the armored will come too?
Ahhh......
I didn't think about those issues at all.
What shall we do, what shall we do...
Graciously, I came to this place with the intention of declaring my marriage to Lyla to the King, and on the contrary, I was about to be crushed with anxiety.
