We Live in Dragon’s Peak
Visitors from the woods
"Subordinate to every man, you wretched dragon."
'Ho, you'll tell me. Are you flying with me? "
'I am not in service. You're the one with the nasty decorative saddle on your back, not even on the dragon's wind. "
"You don't understand. A person is a creature that shows authority by things. This luxurious saddle is the throne and only the chosen dragon is honored to sit on his back. That's how much you should stand out for not putting the dragon princess on board."
"Phew, that's crap"
"... and Mr. Levaria and Mr. Gusfels are having a great conversation."
"Hmm, it's great to be close"
"What are you interpreting!
"Hawa. I'm sorry, Master Levalia."
"Kuku. You are loved by the dragon princess."
I have been asked by His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Jortenitos to be in the process of interpreting the conversation between Master Levaria and Master Gusferth, who will be at ease in the garden of the Royal Palace.
You both have a bigger and more splendid physique than any other dragon clan. But we face each other without a fight, even as we say it's a long time.
And I was walking in the garden alongside Your Majesty.
We're having a very nice time early in the New Year. Speaking of a little more greed, I'd also like to go out alone with Master Ernea, but I'm patient here.
This was the new year since we broke up in each household.
I'm sure you're all back at home being generous. So I'm patient now, too.
... Ladies and gentlemen, you're really spending your time separately, aren't you?
I'm starting to get a little nervous.
What shall we do? If only I had been ruled out, and you were all running out.
Wow, I'm getting worried.
"What's up, Lyla?
"I'm worried about everyone else."
"Ha. Do you care about everyone even if they are breaking up? You got a good family."
"Yes. They are nice people. Especially Master Ernea!
I'm sure my family cares, but I was wrong. I am happier than ever to be able to walk with His Majesty like this now.
Master Ernea and I can go out together again next time. But the regiment with His Majesty is precious.
I turn my hand around His Majesty's hips to help him walk. His Majesty leaves his body with me, and he gently turns his hand around his shoulder.
My heart is filled with understanding and gentle warmth with a great presence right next to me. His Majesty was also looking down at me with a satisfying grin.
'I didn't expect such a peace to come to those two. I'm happier than my heart. "
"Phew, you must have caused it in the first place."
"Don't tell me that."
Me and Your Majesty walking in your garden. Ladies Levaria and Gusfels, staring at it far-flung, were also relaxed.
But there came an unexpected commotion from the sky.
'Excuse me more than overhead. I want to hope to secure the place'
Normally, the sky above the Royal Palace does not allow the passage of the Flying Dragon Knights. However, there are exceptions. Only in the case of sudden orders can we land outside the dragon stables.
Flying overhead, the flying dragon growled, slowly descending.
Master Gusfelds, who looked up at the flying dragon, honestly moves the place. But Master Levaria gave off a roar of intimidation and a sharp gaze against the flying dragon over his own head.
"Hi-eh, he's a tyrant"
"Dear Revaria, please give me the place"
"Hmm, she's a demanding daughter."
"Next time, I will serve with Lord Ernea"
"Wash your body. The gap between the scales is tight."
"Yes, gladly!
Master Levaria gave me a drink on my terms of exchange, and I only had one.
Fei Long will descend in my lead, even as he is frightened by Master Levaria.
"It's Good To Have A Dragon Princess"
"Dear Lila, thank you for the guidance"
When Fei Long put his foot on the ground, the knight immediately descended from his back. And soon you will notice His Majesty beside me, kneeling.
"Noisy, something!
To the roar of the Dragon Clan, Kingsguards and Dragon Knights rushed out of the Royal Palace. And I'll put a formation around His Majesty.
The dragon knight of the decree began to talk on his knees so that those gathered could hear him.
"I will report to you. It was more pioneering than before. It is a large forest in the east. Recently, we ran into a group of people who seem to be the Ear Elders..."
"With the Ear Elders?
The Great Forest to the east is further ahead of the fort that protects the eastern border. It's about a dangerous place where there are many demonic nests.
Since last year, we have heard that Prince Filel and the legendary Winged Dragon, Master Yugra, have been active in celebrating a year of travelling and have been crusading demons for a long time.
And from around the entrance of the Great Forest, where the threat of demons began to diminish, there was a gradual development.
So, are you saying that an organization of ear elders has appeared?
Speaking of ear elders, I'm Priscia. He said the Ear Elders, who live in the Dragon Forest, were recognized by the people of the Armuard kingdom by starting out in a commotion with the Demons. But we knew through Master Ernea and Priscia that she existed more than ever.
Nevertheless, isn't this the first time that anyone but the ear elders living in the dragon forest has been able to confirm their existence?
"And what's wrong with that ear clan?
"In fact, they wanted to meet with His Majesty. His Royal Highness Philelle is also stationed, but during the entire year of his journey, he was unable to enter and leave the King's capital freely, so I came by decree."
"The Ear Elders say no?
The gathered people look at each other in the face and tilt their necks. His Majesty also looked at the dragon knight of the decree with doubts.
"Apparently, there's a problem in the depths of the Great East Forest. We also tried to ask the details, but the Ear Elders were very cautious and really wanted to speak directly with His Majesty."
"Hmm, deep in the Great Forest"
The Ear Elders say they live in the deep woods. So you may have found out after a little in-depth reading that there are ear elders living in the Great Forest. But what kind of problems are there?
"But that doesn't mean that His Majesty is comfortable with the interview."
To the disturbance in your garden, the Chancellor who came to point out something.
The Chancellor seemed to happen to be at the Royal Palace around New Year's greetings.
"Nevertheless, we can also leave the problem unattended. Now, what should we do..."
Normally, if the general public says they want to see the king, it's not like they'll see him right away.
But the ear elders who would not have an organization called the country may be offering with a sense of "wanting to meet the chief."
Among those gathered, I am familiar with the circumstances of the Ear Elder Clan, and the more I express my opinion, the more you nod.
"I'm also concerned about the problem of the Great Forest. I would like to speak to the elders of the ear. But the eastern land is far away. Even if you wish for Gusferth, you will need quite a few days to travel. I can't afford to invite the unidentified to the king's capital."
"Then let me come as Your Majesty's deputy. If you're a flying dragon, you'll be right there."
"Is that Grave? All right, let's send them as ambassadors plenipotentiaries."
"Ha. Then quickly, get ready. Oh, you're right. I would like to ask Lila to accompany me if possible. You're familiar with the rules and customs of the ear clan, aren't you?
"Yes. Yes, sir."
Unexpectedly, I was also to go see the Ear Elders who showed up in the eastern lands.
"It's troublesome again," said Leveria, who was asking about this one, while vomiting her stupidity, "she'll accompany me on my move.
And when we were ready, we flew right to the east.
"His Majesty cannot come here because of his death. So I, the prince of the king, came up in full custody. You can take my opinion, my decision, as the king of this country, and the general thrust of the country."
"Thank you first for drinking this request. Now I want to tell you what's going on and what's going on here."
The meeting place is one of several fortifications dotted to the east. It has become a hub close to the Great Forest.
But we can't let the unidentified pass through the fort, which is an important hub, and you all seem to have gathered in front of the fort to await our arrival.
It seems like Master Filrell has guided the Ear Elders to the fort.
It did not seem possible to lead us into the fort, but supplies such as food and water seemed to have been sufficient, and the ear elders thanked Master Philel.
The ear elders gathering in front of the fort are about thirty in total.
It can be seen from children to the elderly. I just don't see any kids as young as Priscia. And everyone wore dirty clothes, and I could see a sense of fatigue as if they had escaped life and spiciness from someone else.
The Ear Elders were surprised by the Dragon Clans who obey people and the Dragon Knights who give instructions to them.
And he has a strong interest in the golden scaled one-in-one splendid Yugra and the three sides of the Filrell and accompanying Dragon Nation that straddle it.
At first they were showing strong vigilance to the people, but I hear they opened their hearts thanks to Master Filrell's standing around and thus rowed into the talks.
Master Filrell was even more splendid while he didn't look at it for a moment.
"This is His Royal Highness the King of the Kingdom of Jortenitos, Lady Grave. I will be my brother. Brother, this is Yun, the representative of the Ear Elder clan."
Prince Filrell, who mediates, is engaging Master Grave and Master Yun.
Master Yun looks like a young woman around twenty years old. Nevertheless, the true age may be hundreds because they are ear elders.
They weave their dirty coats just like the rest of us, but they have a look that allows you to feel the character somehow. Do you dye black and long hair? Long hair, which begins to fade in dye on a long journey, is decorated with colorful jade stones and feels so strongly hectic that it doesn't seem like a woman to green eyes.
Though he seemed a little short, Rin's standing behavior created an adult atmosphere.
Master Grave and Master Yun shook hands and went right to the point.
"So what is the requirement that I want to petition His Majesty the King? I want you to speak to me, Ambassador Plenipotentiary."
"If you speak for the land, I will speak for you."
Originally, I think it would be better if you talked to me in the conference room or something. Master Grave seems alert to the ear elders who suddenly appear. So, in this place where we first met in front of the fort, we proceed to talk. But Master Yun didn't seem to be offended, and began to talk about the situation where the Ear Elders were placed.
"We were chased by the Titans and reached this land with life and spice. Do you know that all the way east of the forest is the land where the giants live? And now that the Giants are trying to expand their living areas, they're trying to expand their development west."
"Giants? I do recognize its existence. But this is the first time I've ever known that they're trying to spread the print on this side, and that the Ear Elders are being pursued by it."
"We have been arguing with the Titans since our ancient days betting on the woods. But in recent years, they began to rapidly increase their power because they had a leader in their king. So, when the village was attacked, we're looking for new land. There are other fellow villages in the woods, but we could not rely on them"
"... I mean, they want to build a new heaven and earth within our country?
"Please, I want you to give up the resting forest"
"... I don't know what the long-heared custom is, but I don't want to talk about it. The kingdom of Jortenitos is the territory of His Majesty. speech preaching, such as unconditionally handing it over to other races. Even the people will not give away their land free of charge"
"Of course, I didn't say it was free. We understand about that, too. But unfortunately, we can't have the kind of things that we can offer right now... Yes, we can work with the Giants when it comes to them. If you ask me, are they trying to pioneer the forest too? That way, we can't deny the possibility that we'll look like giants sooner or later. At that time…"
"No, that offer is fine. It is true that if we proceed with the exploitation of the Great Forest, we could run into a giant tribe that will proceed with the exploitation as well. But before that, they are more likely to be hostile to their compatriots who are trying to stop them from living and developing in the woods. If that happens, I wonder. We are more likely to choose to join hands than to antagonize the Titans, who share a common purpose in terms of advancing the pioneering. More importantly, we are currently making friends with other races."
"Well, then you can make friends with us..."
"It's a different issue than making friends and transferring territory."
……
Master Grave's words are very harsh, but they may be legitimate as depositing the country.
Even if you are a citizen, you have to pay money and other consideration if you get land. You can't say that without ripping your mouth off to other races, etc. If we do that, we will betray the people who have lived with loyalty until now.
But when I look at the ear elders who have fled wearing them, I remember my old self.
"Wouldn't it be wise for you to go back to the woods and ask your people for help instead of begging us?"
"It's..."
For some reason, Master Yun looks back with a complex look. At the end of his gaze, ear elders watching the talks in solitary spit.
"There seems to be something wrong with you. Your Highness, have mercy. Why don't you at least hide it for me until I calm down...?
"I'm my sister too...... I agree with Lila. Brother, do not abandon those in need. Can't seem to reach out to the same person, can't get close to the thoughtful dragon clan"
"But I don't."
Master Grave is not cold and ruthless. It's just a statement that puts the country and the people first, more than carrying the country as Ambassador Plenipotentiary.
Now, Mr. Grave was scratching his short head like he was in trouble.
What am I supposed to do at a time like this? Master Grave asked me to come, and I'm not doing anything to help. How can we come up with an answer that will make you all smile?
"If Master Ernea..."
"Right, Ernea, if it were you..."
"If it's him..."
If you are Master Ernea, who has solved many problems before, what decisions will you make? When I realized, not only I, but also Dear Philelle and Grave, the dragon knights and all the dragon tribes, had spoken out the name of Lord Elnea.
"Well, who is Elnea?"
Master Yun was shining his eyes in hope and staring at us.
