Chapter 34

 

Knock knock.

 

When I knocked, the wooden door that looked like it would collapse at any moment suddenly transformed into a gleaming iron door and opened with a creak.

 

“I’ll go first.”

 

I carefully followed Kaisis, who entered first with full vigilance.

 

Then the sophisticated black-toned interior caught my eye first, and I saw a woman sitting at a white counter in the center.

 

Since the interior of the building was identical to Ivar’s Guild described in the original work, it seemed this was indeed Ivar’s Guild.

 

“How may I help you?”

 

The woman asked in a cold voice.

 

“I’m here because there’s information I want to know.”

 

“Are both of you here to trade information?”

 

“No, only I intend to make a trade.”

 

“Only those making trades are allowed entry.”

 

I looked back at Kaisis.

 

Ever since coming to Seria Street, Kaisis had been constantly on guard.

 

“I have a bad feeling about this. How about we go back for now.”

 

“We couldn’t find a way to break the imprint anywhere else. Maybe we can find out here.”

 

“If something happens…”

 

“Kai, I’ll be fine. If something happens, I’ll run away with all my might.”

 

I reassured Kaisis, telling him to wait outside the door.

 

When Kaisis left, the woman led me to a large door behind the counter.

 

When I entered the room with a nervous heart, a man with his face covered by a silver mask greeted me.

 

“Welcome.”

 

Then the man personally closed the door and led me to a sofa located in the room.

 

Even the man’s appearance was exactly like Iban as the guild master described in the original work.

 

He was said to use magic to change his voice, hair color, and build to hide his identity.

 

“So, what information are you curious about that brought you to our guild?”

 

I hid my gloved hands behind me and spoke carefully.

 

“I want to know information about imprints with dragons.”

 

“Imprints?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Imprints with dragons. You could find that kind of information in books, couldn’t you?”

 

“What I want is a way to break the imprint.”

 

Suddenly, the eyes of the man behind the mask narrowed.

 

“May I ask why you want to know such a thing?”

 

“I came here to buy information, not to give away my information. I’d like you to just tell me the information I want.”

 

At my words, the man began to laugh heartily.

 

“Do you have the information I want?”

 

“It’s not that I don’t have it. However…”

 

The man trailed off.

 

I nervously swallowed my dry saliva.

 

“It seems it wouldn’t be much different from information everyone already knows. That the imprint can only be broken when the imprinted one dies.”

 

At the man’s words, I instantly became dejected.

 

At this rate, isn’t my death really the only way?!

 

As I was looking down at the floor, the man continued speaking.

 

“It’s not about imprints, but if you’d like, I can tell you a story related to dragons. It’s a very old story though.”

 

The man looked into the distance and then began his story.

 

“Long ago, there was a dragon that was abused. Due to human greed, it was confined underground from birth and suffered terrible torture and abuse.”

 

“Could a dragon really be abused? Dragons are strong beings.”

 

“Newborn dragon hatchlings are very weak, so humans try to tame them. That’s why dragons usually don’t come out into the world when they’re young. But that dragon was unlucky enough to be caught by humans as a hatchling.”

 

“Such a thing…”

 

“That dragon hated humans, but unfortunately fell in love with one human. That’s how the dragon’s misfortune began.”

 

The story the man told afterward was quite sad.

 

* * *

 

The dragon had been confined in a basement since it was a hatchling, suffering terrible torture.

 

It was all a means to tame the dragon, but even so, the dragon was not tamed.

 

Eventually, the dragon was abandoned as it was considered a failure.

 

Then it met a human woman.

 

A lovely and innocent human.

 

The dragon loved that human.

 

Though that human’s name is unknown, it’s certain that the dragon loved that human.

 

That human was the only one who didn’t consider the dragon a failure and loved it as it was.

 

The dragon that had been abused by humans gradually suppressed its hatred for humans while living with that human.

 

But the problem lay in the dragon’s very existence.

 

People branded the human who hid the dangerous dragon that could harm humans as a criminal, and eventually dragged the human away and executed them while the dragon was away.

 

The dragon was furious.

 

It was enraged at the humans who dared to kill its mate.

 

The dragon that rampaged in revenge against humans suddenly disappeared one day, and no one knew its whereabouts.

 

* * *

 

“Then where is that dragon now?”

 

“We don’t know that either. All we know is that the dragon has a large scar on its back from the torture it endured.”

 

I felt sorry and unconsciously lowered my head.

 

I couldn’t even imagine how much pain that dragon must have felt.

 

I sighed with bitterness.

 

So this was how humans treated dragons.

 

Hearing such a story, I could somewhat understand why Kaisis hated humans.

 

Perhaps the ugliness of humans that Kaisis spoke of was something like this.

 

Trying to use or ostracize anything different from themselves.

 

I shook off my thoughts about Kaisis and returned to the main topic.

 

“Then there’s really no other way to break the imprint besides the imprinted one dying?”

 

“From what we’ve determined so far, that’s correct.”

 

I sighed.

 

I’d die if I couldn’t find a way to break the imprint, and I’d die if I tried to break the imprint.

 

What kind of trick of fate is this!

 

“I’m sorry we couldn’t be of help.”

 

At the man’s following words, I shook my head.

 

If even Iban’s Information Guild doesn’t know, there really might be no way other than my death.

 

Setting aside the matter of the imprint for now, I brought up another main topic.

 

“There’s one more thing I’m curious about.”

 

The man nodded with a still gently smiling face.

 

“Do you happen to know the rumor that Lady Beatrice Rockwood is ill?”

 

“I couldn’t not know. More precisely, it’s a rumor that Lady Rockwood has gone mad.”

 

Haha, as expected.

 

I tried to smile.

 

“You even know about His Grace the Grand Duke who just arrived in the capital, the rumors spread very quickly. What I want to know is information about whether there was anything suspicious about Beatrice before she went mad. I want to know why my friend changed like that.”

 

At my words, the man crossed his legs as if interested.

 

“Well. According to the information we have, Lady Rockwood was a kind, gentle, and quiet young lady. We don’t know anything else.”

 

“I see.”

 

It was exactly the same as Beatrice’s setting in the original work.

 

Then what the hell was that magic circle in Louis’s room!

 

It seemed there was nothing more I could obtain from the Information Guild, so I stood up from my seat.

 

Then I extended my hand toward the man as if requesting a handshake.

 

“Thank you for the information today. Should I pay the fee on my way out?”

 

If I shake hands with Iban, wouldn’t I be able to tell? Whether Iban is related to black magic or not.

 

The man reached out his hand as if to clasp mine.

 

Just as our hands were about to touch.

 

“Young lady.”

 

The man called out to me.

 

And at the words that followed, I froze completely and couldn’t do anything.

 

“But why did you call me Your Grace the Grand Duke? I’m not a grand duke. Does a grand duke run this guild or something?”

 

Since I had been thinking of the man as Iban, it must have slipped out unconsciously.

 

The man’s voice was very cold and sharp, unlike what I had heard until now.

 

What if I’ve aroused unnecessary suspicion from the Information Guild’s guildmaster and he tries to investigate me?

 

I suppressed my worried feelings and hastily made an excuse.
