【Chapter 197】

‘…White Dragon, that can’t be possible…?’

I shook my head at the imaginary creature that briefly came to mind.

‘According to Nox, White Dragons are classified as beastmen, not monsters.’

Not only can they take human form, but they possess intelligence higher than humans and tremendous abilities.

“Aisha, I grew wings while sleeping and now I’m so hungry. Give me chicken breast.”

So there was no way that pathetic little dragon whining and throwing a tantrum in front of me could be a White Dragon.

Those wings might just be decorative, right?

Glance.

I gulped as I stared at the little dragon.

I figured I should first check if those wings were real.

“Little one, can you fly?”

“Of course I can!”

“Hmm… but why don’t you fly then?”

“What? How can I fly in such a cramped place? Just wait a moment!”

The baby lizard monster, chirping indignantly at my provocation, stood up from its spot.

The wings it spread wide were large enough to fill half the cage.

As it flapped them, a sudden gust of wind came rushing toward me.

My hair, hanging down past my shoulders, fluttered like a cape.

“Look at me. Cool, right?”

Through my vision, which I had briefly closed to avoid the wind, I saw the little dragon floating in the air.

It shrugged its shoulders and puffed out its chest.

Oh my goodness.

Is this really not just a little dragon, but actually a Dragon?

“Then.”

Gulp.

I swallowed and moved on to the second test.

“Do you happen to breathe something out of your mouth, or anything like that?”

“Out of my mouth? I’ve never tried that before, but achoo-!”

I didn’t need to see the second test to know the answer.

When it sneezed, the fireball that shot out nearly burned the hem of my dress.

“….”

I dropped snowballs onto the fire that was gradually spreading across the floor to extinguish it.

From what I could see, it really did seem to be a White Dragon…

“Are you a White Dragon?”

“What’s that?”

The problem was that it didn’t really know what kind of being it was either.

This was making me confused too.

Then I should ask Nox, who’s an expert in this field.

“Little one, I’ll get you out of here quickly, so just wait a bit. Okay?”

“Where are you going? It’s too noisy here.”

“I’ll just ask someone something real quick and be right back. Wait for me.”

“Hiiing.”

At my words, the little dragon’s wings drooped, but it seemed to trust me quite a bit as it nodded its head.

“But bring chicken breast when you come back.”

Or maybe it trusted the chicken breast I gave it?

After telling the Guide he had done well, I hurriedly escaped from the training grounds and ran to Nox’s office.

Perhaps because of the current situation, he wasn’t sleeping even at this dawn hour.

“Lady? What brings you here at this hour…”

“Nox. A white lizard has wings and even breathes fire from its mouth. What do we usually call that?”

When I cut him off and asked suddenly, the flustered Nox pushed up his monocle.

“Usually we would call that a White Dragon.”

“Right? That’s what we usually call it, right?”

“Why do you ask?”

“How strong are White Dragons?”

“Well. Originally, Dragons are probably the second strongest beings among monsters, right after Maeins. But why are you asking?”

“…Oh my goodness.”

My jaw dropped.

Would you believe me if I said the second strongest being in this world is currently waiting for its chicken breast?

As I stood there dazed, he asked with slightly anxious eyes.

“…Why are you like this? You didn’t happen to see an insane White Dragon beyond the ice wall, did you…?”

“Nox. You call yourself a monster expert and you don’t know that?”

“…Pardon?”

“White Dragons aren’t affected by Monster Waves like Maeins.”

“…How do you know that…?”

“Because I had a perfectly normal conversation with a White Dragon in the underground of the training facility?”

Nox’s monocle tilted askew and then fell to the floor.

“Excuse me?”

He made a dumbfounded sound as if he had finally come to his senses.

Meanwhile, his body was already opening the door and heading outside.

* * *

“…Wh-what is this…”

“Chicken breast-! Give it to me quickly-!”

Thud.

Kail knelt down in front of the little dragon crying out for chicken breast.

“To see a White Dragon crying for chicken breast with my own eyes in my lifetime!”

Whether he was moved or not, when I threw the chicken breast I had prepared, the little dragon’s expression brightened as it opened its mouth wide.

“Mmm. Delicious chicken breast. Nom nom nom.”

“Oh, oh, my goodness. To see a White Dragon eating chicken breast with my own eyes in my lifetime-!”

“Om nom nom.”

‘…Does watching it eat meat really look that sacred?’

To me, who had seen it since its lizard days, it was just a baby dragon that had grown bigger.

But I suppose for Nox, being a monster otaku, he couldn’t help but be amazed.

Anyway, bringing Nox was the right thing to do.

I was now certain that this little dragon was the famous White Dragon.

“Nox. Since it’s not affected by Monster Waves anyway, how about we just let it go free?”

At my words, Nox, who had been bowing, belatedly put on his monocle and stood up.

“I would like to set it free too, but there would probably be strong opposition from people. It’s a being that naturally inspires fear and awe just by looking at it, so people would be scared if such a being roamed around the Ducal Palace.”

“…It doesn’t look scary at all though?”

“That’s because you’re you, Lady.”

I see.

So that little dragon looks scary to other people.

“Hmm… You’re right. That was an unreasonable request.”

Given the current times, there must be many people who are afraid of monsters themselves.

Actually, I had an even more extreme thought.

What if I rode the little dragon over the ice wall to rescue Kail?

Since the Monster Wave had already begun, Kail’s role of going far away with the monsters was finished.

So I thought it wouldn’t be bad to just rescue Kail and return riding the little dragon.

“So I can’t go outside?”

Having apparently heard our entire conversation, the little dragon, which had been eating frantically, perked up its ears.

With its large, pure white body and wings, it seemed like it would run away just from making eye contact, let alone having a conversation.

‘But anyway, I’m the only one who can talk to it.’

Since it was dawn and there were no people around, now would be the perfect time to secretly take it out.

I was lost in thought, stroking my chin, when I decided to pet the White Dragon’s head for now.

“No. It’s not like you can never go out. Once things calm down a bit, I’ll take you outside right away.”

“But it’s too noisy…”

“You trust me, right? I rescued you from that island too.”

Groan.

The White Dragon curled up into a ball and let out a displeased sound.

“Fine, then. But you have to come quickly.”

But the White Dragon soon nodded its head.

‘Good dragon.’

“I’ll come as fast as I can.”

As I moved my hand from stroking its head to its chin, its massive wings fluttered as if it felt good.

The wind from that blew away Nox’s monocle, but the White Dragon didn’t care and savored my touch.

‘…It would be perfect if I could ride it over the ice wall…’

Can’t be helped.

I left the training grounds with a regretful heart…

Like hell!

‘If I’m going to take it out, now’s my chance!’

As soon as I returned to my bedroom, I hurriedly put on my pants and wrapped my entire body in a robe.

I was preparing to secretly infiltrate the training grounds again when—

Knock knock.

Someone politely knocked behind me.

‘That sound is coming from the window, not the door?’

As I turned my head, I gasped with a sudden thought.

“…Could it be Kail…?”

I didn’t know how he got here from the snowy plains, but if he had put everyone to sleep with his Maein abilities, however limited, it wasn’t impossible.

I swallowed nervously and opened the window with a pounding heart—

“Hello, Aisha.”

Suddenly, a brazen face popped up from below the window.

“I came all this way to see you. I’m going to quit being a spy now too.”

Eyes curved like a crescent moon.

Black hair fluttering in the wind.

…Why was Aebin appearing here of all places.

* * *

At that moment, in the Kingdom of Doctia.

“The situation is very bad. The Royal Knight Order stationed in the border region is defending, but the Croste Knight Order suddenly attacked…”

“Don’t tell me Duke Callipus came with them too?”

“…Yes. That’s correct.”

Though he didn’t want to hear it, the knight even nodded as he reported the Duke’s return.

Ah.

King Burley felt dizzy for a moment.

There was no time to panic at the sudden ambush.

And if Duke Callipus was coming too, that meant the Royal Knight Order would have to face an ability user.

Ordinary humans cannot defeat ability users.

‘An ability user must be faced by another ability user.’

“Bring Aebin here immediately! Where has he been these past few days when he’s nowhere to be seen!”

When Burley shouted at Ariena while pressing his throbbing temples, she bowed her head with a calm expression.

“…Aebin seems to have disappeared.”

“What?”

“He hasn’t been seen for several days, so we searched the entire castle thoroughly, but he’s nowhere to be found.”

“…?”

Burley stopped what he was doing and opened his mouth.

That meant there were currently no ability users in this kingdom.
