Chapter 32

 

[Those who form an imprint with a dragon have a high probability of falling in love with the dragon.

 

The exact reason has not been revealed, but the most probable hypothesis is that ‘since imprinting binds each other’s hearts together, there is a high probability of falling in love as they consider each other part of themselves.’]

 

Since I wasn’t looking for ways to fall in love with Kaisis, it was an unnecessary sentence for me, but it was still interesting.

 

“Kaisis. You said you hate humans. Then have you ever loved a human?”

 

When I asked out of sudden curiosity, Kaisis’s face faintly contorted.

 

That expression…

 

It’s that pained expression I saw in the snowy mountains before.

 

An expression that makes anyone who sees it feel heartbroken.

 

It seemed certain that Kaisis had some painful past.

 

While I was curious about what it might be, I couldn’t bring myself to ask.

 

In case I might touch on Kaisis’s painful spot.

 

“Kaisis, why do you dislike humans?”

 

So I decided to ask a more fundamental question.

 

“Because humans are ugly.”

 

“Why do you think that?”

 

At my words, Kaisis’s eyes darkened as if reflecting on the distant past.

 

“That’s…”

 

I held my breath and waited for Kaisis’s answer.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

The library door burst open and that Louis guy entered.

 

He seemed to have come to return books, carrying an armful of them.

 

The guy who was putting the books down in front of the librarian discovered me sitting with Kaisis and immediately frowned.

 

“Are you having a secret meeting or something?”

 

What kind of nonsense is that all of a sudden?

 

When I ignored him and tried to look at my book, that Louis guy approached closer.

 

“Ah!”

 

Then he snatched the book from my hands.

 

Kaisis stood up abruptly from his seat as if wary of Louis.

 

“Answer me.”

 

“It’s not like that.”

 

“Then why did you come to the library when you usually never visit?”

 

“I just had something to look up.”

 

At my answer, Louis examined the cover of the book I had been reading.

 

“‘Legend of Dragons’?”

 

Then he suddenly frowned and began mocking me.

 

“I’m busy working day and night for our family’s prosperity, but you seem to have nothing to do. Looking up such useless things.”

 

Louis, who had clicked his tongue, glanced over me and Kaisis once before speaking sarcastically.

 

“You two seem quite close.”

 

What kind of trouble is he trying to start now?

 

Isn’t he going to use this as an excuse to take Kaisis as his escort knight again?

 

Since I wasn’t answering to avoid giving him any excuse, Louis threw the book back to me and glared at both Kaisis and me.

 

He had a suspicious expression, and I hoped he wasn’t pairing me and Kaisis together in his head.

 

Kaisis and I are absolutely not in that kind of relationship, you know?

 

Anyway, that Louis guy stared at us for a while before finding the book he was looking for and leaving.

 

It was best to avoid getting involved with Louis as much as possible.

 

Kaisis quietly looked at me and asked.

 

“Does the master not get along well with family?”

 

“As you can see.”

 

“That’s unusual. Usually humans cling to the existence called family.”

 

“I suppose family would be an existence that gives strength to each other. But not for me.”

 

Both then and now, family was a terrible existence to me.

 

I don’t particularly like them either.

 

While thinking such thoughts and continuing to read the book Louis had thrown back, I felt Kaisis still staring intently at me.

 

“Then what existence gives strength to the master?”

 

It was a sudden question.

 

An existence that gives me strength…

 

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of such an existence.

 

Feeling inexplicably lonely, I laughed self-deprecatingly.

 

“There’s no such existence.”

 

Even though I answered, Kaisis’s eyes wouldn’t leave me.

 

Feeling unnecessarily embarrassed, I changed the subject.

 

“Oh, come to think of it, what were you trying to say earlier, Kaisis?”

 

“I forgot.”

 

Kaisis answered indifferently and picked up a new book.

 

It seemed like a lie, but since he seemed unwilling to talk about it, I didn’t press further.

 

I quietly read my book again and obtained another interesting piece of information.

 

[Dragons have one egg.

 

It’s a backup plan for when they die in the future, where dragons’ souls don’t go to the afterlife after death but settle into a new body.

 

What contains that body is the dragon’s egg.

 

Since there’s only one egg, once used, the dragon will face death afterward.]

 

How fascinating.

 

Does Kaisis have an egg too? If he does, he must have hidden it well, right?

 

Thinking that, I closed the last page.

 

Even in the Count’s library with all kinds of books, I couldn’t obtain information about imprinting.

 

After pondering, I came up with one good idea.

 

Visiting the Information Guild.

 

In this world, there existed something called the Information Guild, a group that collected and traded the numerous pieces of information floating around the world.

 

According to the original story’s description, the Crown Prince, wanting to win Beatrice’s heart, had secretly visited the Information Guild to learn about her.

 

The Information Guild might have some hints about imprinting with dragons.

 

Above all, I needed to investigate the actions of Beatrice before Louis Sauver possessed her.

 

Then I had no choice but to visit the Information Guild.

 

If I suddenly told the Count I needed money because I wanted to buy information from the Information Guild, he wouldn’t give me money.

 

In the end, I had no choice but to sell the jewelry I possessed.

 

My precious emergency fund is leaking out like this.

 

With tears in my eyes, I left the library and went to my room to select jewelry worth selling.

 

Since I didn’t plan to spend much money at the Information Guild, selling just one or two pieces would probably be enough.

 

I gathered the jewelry and headed to the jewelry shop with Kaisis.

 

Without even dreaming of who I would meet there.

 

* * *

 

“Is anyone here?”

 

When I entered the jewelry shop, an old man who had been leisurely smoking a cigar in a rocking chair saw me and jumped up.

 

“Oh my, what brings a noble lord here?”

 

Perhaps having seen the crest carved on my carriage, the old man bowed and spoke to me.

 

His behavior was obsequious, but somehow he gave off a cunning feeling.

 

“I have some jewelry I’d like to sell.”

 

When I placed the jewelry I brought on the table, the old man put on his glasses and examined the jewelry closely.

 

“The quality is good.”

 

Of course, it’s jewelry belonging to a Count’s daughter, so the quality would be good.

 

The old man spent a long time examining the jewelry with his glasses on, then took out an abacus and began calculating.

 

“What price range were you expecting?”

 

“I was expecting around 100,000 gold.”

 

“Oh my…”

 

At my words, the old man sighed and examined the jewel once more.

 

“A jewel of this quality would barely fetch 30,000 gold, miss.”

 

“What?”

 

When I asked back in confusion, the old man held the jewel up to the light from various angles and shook his head.

 

“It’s secondhand, after all. Plus, it has some scratches.”

 

“Ah…”

 

I was ignorant about jewel prices. It was only natural.

 

The Count had procured most of my jewels for me. He was the one who paid for them too.

 

Moreover, this was my first time selling jewels secondhand, so I didn’t know the detailed prices.

 

Still, I thought it would be worth around 100,000 gold, but 30,000 gold?

 

It was much less than I had expected.

 

Should I not sell it? Or should I try another jewelry shop?

 

As I was contemplating, the old man took off his glasses and set them down before speaking.

 

“Still, if things go well, I think I could offer up to 40,000 gold.”

 

My eyes sparkled at the offer of 10,000 more gold.

 

If this jewel was really worth 30,000 gold, then selling it for 40,000 gold would be profitable.

 

But could I trust this old man?

 

I was still pondering when—

 

“40,000 gold.”

 

An unfamiliar voice came from behind me.

 

Startled, I turned around and couldn’t help but be even more surprised.

 

Shimmering silver hair and light purple eyes. Handsome features to boot.

 

This man was definitely…

 

“You’re quite bold with your swindling.”

 

My ultimate favorite! It was Duke Ivan Descartes!

 

The guild master of the Information Guild Fione that the Crown Prince had visited to obtain information about Beatrice, and the intelligence + strategy character who was my favorite!

 

I wondered if I was dreaming at the appearance of the person I had desperately wanted to meet.

 

“D-Duke Descartes, Your Grace?”

 

“You know me.”

 

Ivan’s eyes turned toward me.

 

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
