Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

Chapter 19

19 – Northern Grand Duke’s Bloody Swordsman (3)

Since ancient times, dragons have been well known as higher intelligence capable of higher thinking.

Because they were a race that grew up with a certain degree of consciousness already formed from birth.

It could be said that they are a completely different species from the direction of their thinking than those of a species that is born and raised like humans, slowly growing over several years and developing intellectual consciousness.

Because of that, I don’t know if it’s the time of the newborn hatchling.

Now, when you step into the stage where you can walk or run on your own legs after taking off your toes.

The period of protection, as if confined to only one place, had to come to an end.

In short, Han could no longer be confined to the room.

If a hatchling is raised like that even at this time, the trait will develop an aversion to the entire environment in which it is confined.

It judges that it is confining oneself, and rather creates hostility.

It was a way of thinking that was possible because he had the characteristics of a dragon born with his intellect already formed somewhat immaturely from birth.

So-.

Currently, the Bank of Korea.

I was following Lucrezia and Lucia, who had gone out to eat.

Flutter -.

With his body floating, he lazily flew through the air and looked around him.

‘Oh. Is this the space where Lucia and Lucrezia dine?’

The surroundings were magnificent.

It was spacious for a long time without a sense of space being blocked even at a glance. The expression like a palace seemed to fit the best.

[Ki-i-.]

Han-Eun, if you wish.

It was to the extent that he opened his mouth for a moment, even though he was stunned.

As he followed them like that, he suddenly felt bitter about his previous life.

‘This is why the studio I used to live in is getting shabby. My room is not a room, it just feels like a piece of a box, isn’t it?’

Well, but actually, it was unavoidable.

In the first place, they were the best families on the continent.

The highest rank of nobles in the empire, said to be next to the emperor.

On the other hand, in Han’s previous life, at most, he was just an ordinary office worker who lived day by day.

From an objective point of view, it was inconceivable.

Compared to them in the first place, even modern politicians have no choice but to shrink infinitely.

If you look at the politicians of the Republic of Korea he remembered, if you strictly compare them in light of their position, they were only large salarymen.

Let’s follow that.

An enormous dining table that could have been several tens of meters long was stretched out.

‘Oh-.’

At that absurd sight.

Reflexively, Han’s mouth fell open.

‘What kind of table is this-.’

But he didn’t even have time to panic.

Lucrecia and Lucia sat in the middle seat and next to it very naturally.

The maids gave a seat to Han, the guardian dragon.

[Please sit over here, Guardian Dragon.]

In the seat of an empty chair that another maid, who has not yet memorized her face, slips out of her.

Han immediately understood his intentions, and he stood up and sat down.

Of course, he couldn’t reach it with his height, so he waited for a while.

There was nothing difficult in the first place.

He quietly raised his mana and sat down as if he were about to fly and land.

[And…]

Naturally, everyone’s eyes were on the guardian dragon, Han.

Soon after, Lucrezia spoke to them as if warning them.

[Don’t let everyone pay too much attention to the guardian dragon. Of course, it can’t be helped that his eyes are drawn, but he doesn’t like excessive attention.]

[Ah, I see. His Highness the Archduke.]

She spoke so politely.

Soon she started eating with a silver knife in her hand.

Dalgrak. Dalgrak.

A strange silence descended between them as they ate for a while.

All I could hear was the sound of cutlery cutting meat and the nearby maids busily serving all sorts of dishes and putting them on the table.

As expected, the two of them were dignified even in their manners, befitting high-ranking aristocrats from noble grand duchy families.

In between.

‘Oh, oh-.’

Han was looking up at the table, which was infinitely high for him.

However, because the eye level was a bit high, I had to lift my tiptoes to see the scenery above it.

[Um…]

Lucrezia’s eyes relaxed for a moment as she watched her.

I wonder if there was a problem at the moment.

Her hand holding the fork stopped.

[Mother?]

Lucia, who was puzzled by her appearance, heard her call.

As if belatedly coming to his senses, Lucrezia started moving her hands again.

[Ah, it’s nothing, Lucia. Come on in.]

Then he added to Yone, who was standing behind her.

[Rather than that, Yone.]

[Yes, Your Highness!]

[I guess I’ll have to bring an eye-level chair for babies next time. It seems that the guardian dragon is experiencing inconvenience because the eye level is too low.]

While they were having such a conversation.

Han’s gaze was all over the table.

[Kiii-.]

He narrowed his eyes and stared at the other side of him as if staring.

His pupils have long since turned into sharp, vertical shapes. He was shining with a sharp silver light.

What Han was looking at was the shiny cutlery hanging over Lucia’s table in the seat next to him.

All of them flashed dazzlingly.

It caught his attention.

This was obviously just tableware at best.

Even Han himself knew that.

For some reason, however, Han could feel himself reflexively focused on him.

[Kiii-.]

Like a hunter looking for prey.

Just at the moment when his silver pupils had narrowed to the point where they could no longer narrow.

Han could no longer stand his own boiling instinct and jumped onto his table.

Tadadak!

[Su, Guardian Dragon!]

[No! What are you doing now!]

He didn’t pay attention to the screams that were startled around him and tried to dissuade him.

Han-eun ran, dodging the surrounding dishes with quick movements as if she was aiming for prey, and embraced the dishes in front of Lucia with her front paws.

[Su, Guardian Dragon?]

Bewildered, Lucia’s voice faded as if it were going to scatter, and Han couldn’t bear to hear it.

He rolled on the table, intoxicated by the glitter of the cutlery he was holding in his arms.

‘This is mine. Something that no one can take away from me…’

Luxurious treasures.

A sparkling silvery-white jewel with a hint of silver.

[Guardian Dragon! It’s not possible! The two of you are eating, and if you do this!]

He sensed the hands of the maids approaching him and yanked them away with his long tail.

Then, as if on alert, he lowered his jaw.

[hahahaha!]

[Aww…!]

Then the maids didn’t even think of approaching any more, and hesitantly backed away.

It was a ferocious spirit that I had never seen before.

Let the maids step back.

Only then did Han feel satisfied again, and once more cradled the utensils in his arms and rolled them across his table.

[Grrr-.]

Han’s eyes widened upward as he cradled silver tableware in his arms.

As if she was satisfied, she let out a purring sound similar to that of a cat purring.

This is mine. It’s only my own…

[…Oops.]

And only then did Lucrezia realize her mistake. She hardened her face as she recalled a ‘paragraph’ from her archives that she had read the other day.

[I made a mistake.]

[Eh, mother?]

Lucia turned to Lucrezia at the muttering of her voice as if in dismay.

[Originally, dragons prefer shiny gold and silver items. I have seen in previous records that the guardian dragon has the same tendency, so you need to be careful as much as possible.]

[Is there such a thing?]

[Yes. So, I forgot that you should use wooden tableware that can be used in front of the Guardian Dragon.]

But it was too late even after realizing Yijewa’s mistake.

The dragon tended to hate the loss of treasure once it came into its hands.

If once you have something in your hands, it will be taken away.

It was to the extent that it was written that no matter how long it took, it would follow and kill that human to the end.

However, in the case of Han, it was only now that he had reached the hatchling period where his true nature was barely developing.

If that thing is taken away at a time like this.

After that, it was clear that it would affect Han’s disposition in some way. And it was never going to be in a positive direction.

She took on a worried look as if she was troubled.

[It’s dangerous because it has a blade. I have to get it somehow.]

[Ah.]
