Chapter 91

At my question, Kaisis looked at me quietly, then reached out his arms and pulled me into a tight embrace.

Oh my?

As I blinked in confusion, Kaisis buried his head in my shoulder and spoke quietly.

“A hallucination of losing you.”

Kaisis’s low voice penetrated my ears.

“A hallucination of losing me?”

“Yes. I saw a hallucination where my identity as a dragon was revealed to the entire world, and Master became endangered because of it.”

Kaisis spoke dejectedly.

“Because I’m an evil dragon, so…”

Kaisis still seemed troubled by the fact that he was an evil dragon.

I cupped Kaisis’s cheeks to make him face me.

His long black eyelashes cast shadows over his ruby-like eyes. He looked so pure and beautiful…

No, this isn’t the time for that.

I looked straight at Kaisis and said.

“Kaisis, I won’t be in danger. Especially not because of you.”

“But…”

“There aren’t many people who know you’re Kaisis. So it’ll be fine.”

“If someday everyone finds out that I’m an evil dragon, they’ll try to kill Master. Since you’re a human associated with an evil dragon, they definitely won’t leave Master alone.”

I continued with determined eyes.

“Then I’ll fight. You know I’m a mage. I have no intention of dying quietly.”

Kaisis closed his mouth.

But his eyes still showed traces of anxiety.

“If people try to kill me for that reason, I’ll survive even if it means making enemies of everyone. And I’ll protect Kaisis.”

Suddenly Kaisis’s eyes widened.

His ruby-red eyes looked at me with trembling emotion.

“Even though you might die because of me, you’d protect me…?”

“Yes. So don’t worry too much, Kaisis. If that day comes, let’s run away together.”

As I smiled and gently stroked Kaisis’s cheek, the area under his eyes suddenly reddened.

“Really, would it be okay to run away with me?”

“Of course, I’d be happy as long as I’m with Kaisis.”

In my previous life, I wasn’t loved by anyone.

I lived without even knowing the emotion called love. But now it’s different.

There’s someone who loves me.

As I smiled and looked at Kaisis, he clenched his fists tightly as if holding something back.

“I might be harmful to Master.”

“Not at all.”

“I might not be able to stay proudly by Master’s side.”

“I don’t care about that either.”

As I continued to deny Kaisis’s words, the area under his eyes became even redder.

“Even so, would Master run away with me?”

“If the day comes when you’re threatened, and we have to make enemies of everyone.”

I stroked Kaisis’s cheek, then quietly pressed my forehead against his.

“Then I’ll run away with you. I’ll be your only ally.”

Suddenly I saw something drop from Kaisis’s eyes with a soft sound.

Is he crying?

When I lifted my head in surprise, Kaisis looked at me quietly and let crystal-like tears fall.

This was the first time I’d seen Kaisis, who was always so strong, cry.

As I wiped away Kaisis’s tears, he rubbed his cheek against my hand.

How cute.

I unconsciously frowned as my heart was bombarded, when someone knocked on the door.

“Lady Sauver, may I come in?”

It was Duke Wischurs.

“Yes, please come in.”

I hurriedly pulled my hands away from Kaisis.

“I’ve brought clothes for you to change into.”

A maid who followed the Duke showed me a dress.

It was a dress with an elegant design.

“I’ll help you change.”

Following the maid’s guidance, I went into another room. The maid skillfully helped me into the dress and arranged my appearance.

After changing clothes, I headed back to the room where Kaisis and the Duke were.

Heavy silence filled the room.

“It suits you well.”

The Duke looked at me in the dress and smiled gently.

The dress fit my body perfectly. I could feel that the Duke had taken care in getting it.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

When I bowed my head in greeting, Kaisis was watching me with a sullen expression, apparently displeased about something again.

After dismissing the maid, I whispered to Kaisis.

“Kaisis, His Highness knows you’re a dragon too.”

“He must. He saw it at the temple earlier.”

“Since he’s being kind enough to keep it secret, wouldn’t it be better not to be so hostile?”

“I don’t want to.”

Kaisis firmly shook his head.

Since he was so adamant about disliking it, I couldn’t force him not to be hostile.

As I inwardly swallowed a sigh, a servant knocked on the door.

“Duke, the carriage is ready.”

The Duke answered the servant that he understood, then looked at us.

“The carriage is ready. Would you like to leave right away?”

“Yes, let’s do that.”

Since I had changed clothes, there was no need to stay at the Duke’s mansion any longer.

Kaisis and I went down to the first floor entrance. The Duke walked ahead of us.

“Next time you visit, I’ll show you the beautiful landscaping of the estate.”

I felt like I had already seen it all last time.

Anyway, since he had helped us so much, I couldn’t refuse, so I nodded in agreement.

At that moment, the Duke grabbed my hand.

“Then please get home safely, Lady Sauver.”

Then he conspicuously kissed the back of my hand.

I was startled and pulled my hand away.

Since I was wearing gloves, it didn’t touch my bare skin, but I could instantly feel Kaisis’s gaze burning into the back of my hand.

I hurriedly got into the carriage, worried that Kaisis might become hostile toward the Duke again.

Kaisis headed to the coachman’s seat as usual. But he didn’t stop glaring at the Duke.

A suffocating tension flowed between the two men.

I hurriedly closed the carriage door and knocked on the carriage wall to signal the coachman to depart.

Soon after, the carriage began to move. I let out a sigh of relief and leaned back against the seat.

After traveling for some time, the carriage arrived at the Count’s mansion.

I thanked the coachman, got out of the carriage, and went up to my room.

But Kaisis, who had been silently following behind me, grabbed my hand as soon as the bedroom door closed.

“Kaisis?”

Then he took off my gloves and began vigorously rubbing and wiping the back of my hand with a handkerchief.

“Something dirty got on it.”

Kaisis scrubbed my hands as if they were covered in filth.

He threw the removed gloves straight into the trash can.

I stared at the trash can, then looked back at Kaisis.

“Throw that away.”

Kaisis said that and glared at the trash can containing the gloves with a sullen expression.

Was he jealous?

He seemed to hold back quite well in front of the Duke, but now that we were alone, his blatant jealousy was cute.

* * *

After returning to the manor, I immediately locked myself in my bedroom.

Since the method to prevent the world’s destruction had changed to finding and defeating the Black Mage, I needed to find the Black Mage first.

But I had no idea where to start investigating.

I sat at my desk and began organizing all the information I had gathered so far.

[1. There is a cult that worships the Black Mage.

They offer living sacrifices or transform people into demon beasts to serve the Black Mage. This is because black magic can grow stronger through sacrifices, and the Black Mage can control demon beasts.

2. Pimpis flowers.

Flowers presumed to transform people or animals into demon beasts. They have spread throughout the Holy Kingdom, and since they were also found in Kyton Forest, they are expected to have spread somewhat into the Empire as well.

3. The Black Mage’s symbol

The cross-section of the Pimpis flower, the black magic circle, and the symbol carved on the clothes of the person presumed to be the Black Mage are all identical.

Then who is that person?]

After organizing the information, I let out a sigh.

The information was ridiculously insufficient.

After pondering for a while, I recalled Iban, the most suspicious person among all the individuals I had investigated so far.

Come to think of it, Iban had also attended the Hunting Competition. I didn’t see him after the competition started, but….

Kaisis had said he could sense black magic energy from Iban.

Moreover, he said he only came to the capital for Information Guild business, so his attendance at the Hunting Competition was also suspicious.

And demon beasts had appeared at that very Hunting Competition.

“I should definitely investigate Iban.”
