Zag was originally kept in the courtyard of the royal castle, but he was brought here for breeding, and was given a male to hold himself.

The male's name is Beauzat, and Zag is attentive, and it is the first bipedal snake I have ever met.

Zag doesn't know his parents. I have no reason to know where I was born and how many brothers and sisters I have. And I was raised knowing little about the world, etc. A chameleon was kept in another cage in the same room, but I didn't know anything about it at the rate of the old man. Even so, he was eight years old, and as a chameleon of that size, he merely said he claimed to be old.

Beauzat was knowledgeable in that regard. He taught me a lot of things while we were together.

It taught us in a short time that our life expectancy is longer than that of other cold-blooded beasts, that we have more to live for than twenty years, about these breeding conditions that tend to make us sick, or what lies outside the kingdom.

And I was also taught why bipedal snakes became less within the kingdom.

Beauzat says. For a long time there have been horrible legends in the kingdom. It's about the age of dragons, and it seems to be something in every country in the world. That seems to vary from what the Divine Dragon fights against the Devil, to what the Dragon King fights against the Rebel Dragon, to what one hero dragon would destroy them and become the only true dragon in a world where there were only bad dragons.

What had long been passed down to the kingdom was the legend that red dragons were born one after the other, causing water damage and losing their land.

In the kingdom, the land of North Hurn, rumors broke out that it was the red double-legged snake, no one said, when the water damage really went on, because the double-legged snake was the most dragon-like cold-blooded beast, and many of them were killed. Is it a coincidence that some of the red double-legged snakes also applauded rumours that they could use divine force? Most of them were harmless - no benefit because they could not communicate with humans of their will - such as the clairvoyance they acquired to detect danger, but some of them resisted with mindfulness, and worse rumors became certain. In time, the relatively high probability of the birth of a red double-legged snake and the spiciness of having a double-legged snake in the public tide, even if a red individual was born, left him with nothing to keep.

The double-legged snake, thus no longer able to live in a warm place with people, moved to the southern meadows or was unable to wild in the northern harun and declined.

In that way, the kingdom no longer has bipedal snakes, but they say they are normally kept in foreign countries.

By the way, the most feared person in the kingdom is an individual with a yellow abdomen on a red back, and they believe that something with green feet caused water damage. Of course, it exists in another country without any problems and is something that is generally kept.

Zag lamented why he had been kept there.

Beauzat, until he came here, had heard that His Royal Highness in the Kingdom was such a lover of cold blooded beasts. He consoled me that I'm sure he wouldn't kill a red child, but Zarg couldn't honestly accept that.

And Zag was rarely pregnant, and without waiting to lay his eggs, Beauzat lay three eggs after being brought back to the breeder, the owner outside the country.

One day like that, a lizard you'd never seen was brought into a cage.

Zag, who just laid an egg, is naïve and can't afford to talk very much. Lizard has been saying bumps on his own for a while, but he stood still with no idea of human language or lizard language on Zarg.

In doing so, I noticed the mosquitoes were getting mixed up, but in the middle of winter, in this hut with the warmth of the Holy Springs, it's something that gets lost from time to time. They cook the poisonous incense that mosquitoes dislike if they were human, but they decided to ignore it because it was left out because it also works on cold-blooded beasts.

I suddenly had a voice in my head when I was doing this.

Hello, this is Largo, who has recently been kept by my Highness.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Huh?

It was a zag that took a while until I found out that lizard was talking to you.

Lizard's name is Largo. He was a newcomer to the royal castle and was brought here when His Highness told him to get along.

"Seniors are going to have a baby next time, right? Congratulations.

Hearing that, Zag was feeling intimate that he seemed like such a good boy.

"You know, they give me the name Zarg. From now on, call me Zag.

"Well, I'll take Largo, please. So, that's the egg?

Come here. There are three. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of kids are in there. But if you're healthy and you're born, any kid would be fine.

"Right. - Oh, no, we're all looking good.

Huh?

"Ah, please don't tell me, I have a nature and I can see about it in my eggs. So, even before we hatched, we could see outside."

"Ah! I've heard that before. We have something in our bipedal snakes, a clairvoyant power. So, do the males and females know?

"I'll see what I can do if I can tell a male from a female.

"That's right. You still wouldn't know if you didn't grow enough in an egg, would you? Then I'll look forward to that.

"But I know the color. She's the same bright white and slightly blue kid as your mother, and then, she's a beautiful bright red kid.

"Eh!

Oh, no. Sure, I knew the odds of not being born one of the three were pretty low, but Zag makes me desperate.

You don't like red? So, but it's okay. My stomach looks yellow, so I guess I'll mix it up and be orange one of these days, huh?

My stomach is yellow.

"Huh? Mr. Zaag, what's going on? Are you okay?

Weird lizard Largo has been very kind to me, but the reality remains the same. Zaag had Largo listen to all the legendary stories.

That's what killed her. It's pity. I don't know if there's any way to let him live.

"No way, I don't think Your Highness would do that, but when he finds out about Riml or something... no, no, I don't want to think about that. ─ ─ Mr. Zag, will you give me a moment, then? I'll figure out a way to get this kid away.

"Can you do that, you?

I can't believe it, but I have the power to talk with such a heart, and because I'm so confident, I guess I have some means, albeit lizards in the same cage.

How soon will you hatch?

"In about ten days, I'm going to lay eggs, but for the first time, I've been waiting for the fathers of these kids to fold their fingers because they've been around since the eggs were laid.

"Understood. However, you may not be able to see your mother afterwards, but I hope you live happily ever after?

"Of course, how much better than being killed in front of you.

That being said, Largo thinks through his thoughts. Thankfully, you seem to be taking me really seriously.

"Okay. Some people depend on me, so I'll do a lot of research to see if I can get them away overseas, so have a day.

"Thank you, you're young, but you're solid. I'm counting on you. ─ But how can you be so kind to me?

"It was... before I hatched, too, because eating - no, unfortunate fate had been decided - so I thought you might want to do something about it.

I could see there was something profound going on, and I could understand that he was riding me on top of me.

Thank you. What about your mother?

No, when they hatched, there was no one else.

"Well, then, when I return to the royal castle, you can call me Mother.

"Huh? Yes, thank you.

Largo looks weird, but he's a really good lizard, and he seems tired of being transported here since he promised to do something about Zarg's red kid.

"I'm sorry. Hey, I'll be off for a while, until I get picked up.

After I said that, the words that resonated in my heart broke off for a while.
