Chapter 37

 

“Miss, an invitation has arrived.”

 

I was able to hear news about Louis Sauver again before long.

 

I looked down at the large letters written on the invitation the maid handed me.

 

[Sword Master Proclamation Ceremony.]

 

The content of the invitation was that Louis Sauver would hold a Sword Master proclamation ceremony.

 

So he’s determined to become a Sword Master after all.

 

Louis Sauver, who had asked me to wait just a little longer, had been completely silent for several days.

 

Fortunately, the world destruction gauge hadn’t risen during that time, but since I didn’t know what Louis Sauver was doing, I couldn’t even predict how things would unfold in the future.

 

The invitation stated a schedule to briefly hold the Sword Master proclamation ceremony, then begin a hunting competition.

 

Since this was the hunting competition that also appeared in the original work, I had to be even more careful.

 

If Louis Sauver was appointed as Sword Master, the gauge would surely rise.

 

I smiled bitterly and placed the invitation on the desk.

 

Fine, Louis Sauver.

 

Let’s see just how far you’ll go.

 

* * *

 

The more I learned magic from Shamal, the more basic spells I could use gradually increased.

 

However, there was just one thing.

 

Teleportation still wasn’t working well even now.

 

“Now, let’s try teleportation again for review. Set the coordinates precisely.”

 

“Coordinate setting… Coordinate setting…”

 

I stared at the floor again and concentrated all my nerves on going out to the hallway…

 

Pop.

 

I teleported to Kaisis’s room next door.

 

Aah! Why isn’t it working again!

 

Shamal would be teleporting here and there looking for me, so I was about to quietly leave the room when…

 

Kaisis, who I thought would naturally be sleeping since it was dawn, had turned off all the lights in his room and was out on the balcony looking at the night sky.

 

Receiving the light of the pale moon looking down at the earth, Kaisis’s smooth black hair gleamed.

 

That guy is really handsome. If he were human instead of an evil dragon, he would have had the kind of looks that could make several women cry.

 

But Kaisis’s expression seemed strange somehow.

 

I hadn’t noticed because he was always expressionless, but today he seemed to have many worries…

 

It was when I was staring intently at Kaisis.

 

Suddenly, I noticed faint scars carved on Kaisis’s back.

 

Kaisis had just come out of washing and wasn’t wearing an upper garment, so the scars on his back were faintly visible.

 

Those scars…?

 

They were scars that crossed his back lengthwise as if he had been whipped, but they were much fainter than I expected, to the degree that you wouldn’t notice unless you looked carefully.

 

So that’s why I hadn’t seen them before when Kaisis wasn’t wearing an upper garment?

 

Sensing my presence, Kaisis turned around. He turned around fully alert, but seeing it was me, he became languid again.

 

“What’s the matter all of a sudden. Did you have a nightmare or something.”

 

But I couldn’t answer Kaisis’s words.

 

“The fact that the dragon has large scars on its back is about all the information we know.”

 

Because the words I had heard from Iban were echoing in my ears.

 

Then could it be that the identity of the dragon Iban spoke of was…

 

I slowly approached Kaisis.

 

“Kaisis, by any chance…”

 

When I looked up at him, Kaisis looked down at me with an expression asking what was wrong.

 

“Was there a human you loved before?”

 

In that instant, Kaisis’s eyes shook greatly.

 

And not long after, Kaisis’s expression crumbled into despair.

 

Seeing Kaisis’s expression like that, I was certain.

 

That Kaisis was that very dragon who had been abused.

 

“What happened, Kaisis?”

 

At my question, Kaisis was silent for a moment.

 

But his pained expression remained the same.

 

“Kaisis, please answer me.”

 

“Why does master want to know that? It’s a useless story even if you know it.”

 

Kaisis put up a wall against me.

 

But I didn’t give up and approached Kaisis, carefully taking his hand.

 

“Kaisis kept a promise to me. You promised to get first place in the swordsmanship competition, and you presented me with a golden rose. I vaguely realized then. Perhaps Kaisis might not be cold inside even if he looks cold on the outside.”

 

Kaisis’s eyes reflected in the moonlight shook faintly.

 

I calmly revealed my true feelings.

 

“Kaisis was the first person to put me first. So I want to try putting Kaisis first too. Even if other people see Kaisis as an evil dragon, I want to see you as you are without caring about those gazes.”

 

Kaisis looked at me with a frown. Though he might look sharp, I could see it to some degree now.

 

The fact that he was only sharpening his edge to protect himself.

 

“I know too. How easily rumors can torment a person. I also had rumors spread that I was a child born by devouring my mother, so no one wanted to come near me. But I never even had a chance to tell people what kind of person I was, regardless of how they saw me.”

 

Kaisis quietly looked down at me.

 

Then he soon reached out and gently touched my head.

 

Though it was a rough touch, it was somehow comforting.

 

“So I want to listen to Kaisis’s story. Can you tell me who Kaisis is?”

 

Kaisis, who had been looking at me for a while, soon carefully parted his lips.

 

“I was born in a small kingdom called Chaton.”

 

* * *

 

Kaisis’s first memory was the face of an aged king who embraced him while rejoicing.

 

“Finally, a dragon has been born in our kingdom too! A dragon that can transform into a human, how special this is!”

 

Since Kaisis was a newborn cub at the time, he couldn’t understand what this situation was about.

 

The king was extremely delighted by Kaisis’s birth and took care of Kaisis himself instead of entrusting him to attendants.

 

Then one day came.

 

“From now on, you must serve me as your master.”

 

The aged king wanted Kaisis to serve him as master.

 

But Kaisis knew.

 

That the king was using him as a tool, and that he would kill him anytime once his usefulness ran out.

 

So he refused.

 

Several times, despite the king’s repeated requests.

 

“Lock that monster in the underground prison immediately and torture him to the point where he’d think dying would be better.”

 

Then the king flew into a great rage and ordered Kaisis to be imprisoned underground.

 

From then on, hell began.

 

Kaisis was locked underground and received lumps of filth as meals.

 

And every time the same hour came, soldiers would come down and torture Kaisis.

 

Repeating only the words that he couldn’t leave this place until he served the king as master.

 

Thus Kaisis had to live in the pain of his flesh being torn apart.

 

One day they would cut his flesh with a knife, one day they would slash his back to pieces with a whip, and one day they would press his flesh roughly with a fire-heated brand.

 

Even so, Kaisis did not serve the king as master.

 

Kaisis yearned for freedom.

 

Something he didn’t have but even the sewer rats crawling around the bottom of the prison possessed.

 

The more the torture increased, the greater Kaisis’s yearning for freedom became.

 

He wanted to leave this place and build his own nest.

 

But the king did not permit Kaisis to leave. Instead, he ordered even harsher torture.

 

Kaisis’s mind crumbled day by day. The degree of torture was too excessive for Kaisis, who was still a cub, to endure.

 

Finally, Kaisis thought.

 

For me to gain freedom, I must serve the king as master. I must let myself be used as the king desires.

 

So Kaisis said he would serve the king as his master.

 

The king was greatly pleased and gave Kaisis his first command.

 

“Turn our enemy country into a sea of fire. Don’t leave a single living creature behind.”

 

Kaisis refused. Even though dragons were fierce beings, he didn’t want to engage in indiscriminate slaughter.

 

However, the king once again drove Kaisis to the brink of death, and even cast mind control magic on him when Kaisis was weakened.

 

Under the king’s control, Kaisis breathed fire toward the enemy country while not in his right mind.

 

“Kyaaaah! Please spare us!”
