Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Her mouth was dry as if she had swallowed sand. Leasis unknowingly called his name.

“Id… dahak…”

At that moment, Iddahak’s movement stopped like magic. Leasis called out his name again, tightening her dry throat.

“Iddahak.”

Iddahak’s body stiffened as if he were nervous at the low call. Fortunately, he did not runaway anymore.

The capital citizens and the imperial wizards stared blankly at the scene. The dragon, which had been running wild just now, was quietly flapping his wings.

Leasis slowly lifted herself up to his head. The strong wind shook the hem of the clothes and her hair, but she did not stop.

Leasis stroked the rough surface with a friendly touch. It was her first time feeling the hot and rugged scales, but it was heartwarming. Much more than a mop or a broom.

“Stop. That’s enough.”

[Berman?…]

“Let’s go down.”

[…]

“Come on.”

Iddahak slowly sank to the floor at the firm order. Thanks to this, Leasis was able to settle on the ground lightly.

Sitting on the floor, Iddahak looked down at Leasis with his calm, golden eyes. He was like a puppy waiting for his master’s order.

Feeling sorry at the sight, Leasis opened her lips and stretched out her arms.

“Hand.”

[Yes!)

Iddahak answered happily and carefully moved his front foot. Claws harder than diamonds were placed on her hands.

The tip of Leasis’ nose became sour. Pleasure, love, happiness. Iddahak’s emotions fell through her like a waterfall. They flowed through her fingertips and colored her chest.

What was this feeling? Tears flowed on Leasis’ cheeks. Overflowing love and loneliness swept through her skin and into her heart.

Iddahak’s eyes slightly widened as Leasis sniffed. He was restless and tried to wipe her cheeks.

However, due to his sharp claws, he was unable to do so as he might hurt her.

[Hey… Berman. Are you okay?]

Then, a huge roar was heard. Turning her head, she saw Blix with a huge sword covered in white energy.

He had a devilish smile. Blix swallowed his saliva while looking at Leasis and Iddahak, who had become gentle.

“Leasis.”

[That guy…]

Iddahak growled at him. However, Leasis stretched out her arms to stop Iddahak.

“Wait.”

Leasis stood in front of Iddahak as if to protect him. Blix’ mouth opened wide at the interesting sight.

He strode towards her. The two soon confronted each other, one step apart. But Blix covered his mouth with one hand and burst into laughter.

“Hahaha!”

It was so much fun that it was hard to hold back his laughter. Who the hell is she? I’ve never seen a knight calming a red dragon going wild. Maybe it was impossible to do even for him or Hizen.

“It’s fun. Who are you, really?”

Blix pointed to Leasis and Iddahak with his sword.

“How can you make him obedient?”

[I’m going to kill you! Yvette! You guys went through my mountains…)

“Leasis, be honest with me. Are you a polymorphic dragon?”

Blix did not seem to hear Iddahak. He kept urging her. He did not seem to care at all about the capital that had become a mess.

Leasis kept her head calm. She could not watch Blix’s brutality anymore.

She looked up at him with determined eyes.

“I’m Leasis, a member of the 1st Division of Imperial Knights.”

“I’m not asking that. Not something everyone knows about. Something you can only tell me.”

Tack tack. His intangible sword struck the ground. He looked intimidating, but he had a soft smile on his face.

Leasis asked in a low but threatening voice.

“What about you, Blix-nim? Who are you?”

Ah. Blix felt small. Her red eyes with transparent anger were so pretty.

Blix wanted to be honest like her. It was the first time that he wanted to resemble someone.

He could not hold his itching mouth.

“The Second Prince of Utran, Blixrond Lan Milcheko.”

It was a better truth than expected. Leasis took a step back, recalling Utran’s information she had read in book.

“Your teacher, and the man who will have you.”

Blix smiled dangerously as he looked at Leasis, silent.

“You deserve to be mine entirely.”

“What are you…”

“I’ll say it again. Come with me.”

Leasis shook her head. Then, Blix smiled innocently, raising his eyebrows as if he was disappointed.

“Okay. Then let’s make a bet. There are quite a few spectators, so this is enough.”

Blix turned his head and waved at the people who were watching far away. The imperial wizards’ faces became complicated as they looked at Leasis and Blix.

Leasis’ expression was not bright because the joke was going too far. A bet at a time like this. She could not understand the situation, as she had to help clean up the capital.

Blix’s face turned uncontrollably red. Before he knew it, his sword was as thick as a man’s thigh.

“Fight with me. Whatever method you use, it’s okay.”

“I don’t have time to play now.”

Despite her firm refusal, Blix was relaxed. He pushed his idea forward.

“If I win, you will follow me. But if I lose, I’ll just back off.”

“Blix-nim, please stop. I can’t do that now.”

Boom!

An earthquake occurred when Blix’s sword hit the ground. Because of the wind it created, several buildings collapsed like dust, and the screams of the capital citizens struck Leasis’ ears.

His green eyes shone dangerously. Blix whispered in a creepy low voice.

“I didn’t need your answer, actually.”

“Come here.”

Blix, who was still swinging his sword, was beautiful but dangerous. She had no choice. Follow Blix or stop him.

Leasis raised her wooden sword. But at that time, someone blocked her.

Her red eyes trembled. It was a man in a slightly crumpled black uniform. Golden blond hair, shoulders wider than the Sea of Kalva, and a figure standing upright,

“Count-nim…”

At Leasis’ call, Hizen turned around. He clicked his tongue when he saw her soaked in the rain.

She was going to catch a cold. Hizen took off his cape and carefully covered Leasis. The sight created a pink atmosphere that did not match the tense situation.

Blix’s green eyebrows went up quickly. What’s wrong with that cold-headed Count? His behavior did not match the image he had of him.

“Count, what are you doing?”

Hizen did not even hear Blix. His eyes could only see her in a mess, and his ears could only hear her trembling breath.

He hugged Leasis tightly. He tried to reassure her with a friendly voice.

“Max is being treated by a priest. Leasis, you take that lizard to rest.”,

Iddahak’s eyes shone violently at the word “lizard’. Hizen glanced at him and said.

“There, the lizard. If you have even a little remorse, follow her calmly.”

[Shut up! Really, this Dratius guy…]

Hizen ignored the buzzing dragon’s noise and looked at the capital. The situation was worse than he had thought. Then neither that dragon nor Leasis who was somehow related to him should be in danger.

Fortunately, Hizen had prepared in advance. Nearby, there were soldiers belonging to the three major families, along with Lander.

No matter how crazy that lizard was, no one, including the Emperor, could touch Leasis for the time being.

Hizen kissed her on her forehead.

“Go ahead. I’ll follow you soon.”

“Where!”

Blix aimed at Hizen’s neck with his sword. However, Hizen pulled out a sword and prevented the attack without even moving.

Clank!

The swords’ cry rang through the rain. Cold blue eyes like a reaper were staring at Blix.

Those eyes, those eyes. Eyeballs that I want to remove. Blix laughed as he felt the thrill rising.

“Long time no see, Count. How many years has it been?”

Hizen drew his other sword and faced Blix. Blix smiled like a devil at his unwavering uprightness.

It looked like the day he had killed Hizen’s subordinate. Perhaps Hizen was stronger than him. He did not lose his coolness whether he cut his men’s neck or burned them in a fire.

Blix’s body was itching to provoke him.

“Your men are waiting. I’ll send you to them today.”

Blix laughed, licking the rainwater flowing on his cheeks with his tongue. Hizen’s eyes facing him froze cold.

“Leasis, go back to the Imperial Palace.”

“Hurry.”

Leasis, who had been faltering, climbed on Iddahak’s back. She disappeared into the night sky with the dragon.

The water falling from Iddahak’s wings made Blix wet. Blix thought he needed to fix that dragon’s temper.

But now he was about to have the most delicious main dish. Blix smiled brightly at Hizen.

“Okay, let’s get started.”

Hizen nodded his head. The cheeky figure made Blix smile with a troubled face. Anyway, this man was good at stimulating his sadism.

Clank!

The swords collided and a flashing glow rose. The swords of the two were colliding constantly and soaked with the rain.

Blix slipped back after being pushed back in a power fight. He tried to cut Hizen’s throat as he turned his body halfway.

Hizen defended his neck with his left sword and aimed at his arm with his right sword.

Do you think I’m going to get hit by this much? Blix snorted and tried to turn his arm, but it flashed before him.

“Cough!”

The intense pain he felt in his stomach made him swear. Blix’s lips were trembling, as he grabbed his stomach with both hands.

“Ahh. Count… is this a knight of noble birth? How is this a sacred sword fight.”

“When dealing with a crazy guy like you, any method is good to use. I can’t believe you’re using the forbidden magic of the Yvette family…”

“Are you ignoring me for being half blood?”

Blix smiled and his green eyes shone dangerously. Hizen once again tried to lift his long leg to kick him in the face.

Blocking the attack with one arm, Blix grabbed Hizen’s neck with his other hand. He began to cast a spell quickly.

Hizen swung his sword. His target was Blix’s arm, stained black.
