Became a Hatchling of the Grand Duke of the North

70 – General Menggun (6)

[Oh, you’re here. Grand Duchess. I waited a long time.]

It was none other than Princess Rachel who greeted them.

She greeted them with a big smile.

This noble girl with gorgeous gold-white hair was just sitting there, sipping her tea, just as before.

‘Rachel.’

The guardian dragon, Hando, swayed its tail and its eyes shone.

It was clear that she was born with dragon blood, albeit very lightly, and she was a very familiar figure to him.

She is, although she is not as good as Lucia.

It was the same with Princess Rachel as her gaze was directed at Han.

She bowed her head politely.

[How has the guardian dragon been doing well for the past few days?]

[Kiii.]

Moreover, she was one of the few people with ‘proper’ manners to the guardian dragon, Han.

There was no reason for him to hate her.

Thanks to that, he was greeted by Princess Rachel and held her long neck upright.

As if he was arrogant.

[…]

The one who felt that sign was Elizabeth, who was said to be her student council president.

Her eyes twitched thinly for an instant, revealing her emotional agitation.

‘…As expected.’

Elizabeth thought quietly.

She felt it before, but this young dragon is unmistakable.

She seems arrogant. However, such thoughts remained silent, without trying to express themselves.

[By the way…]

Lucia glanced around the student council room before opening her mouth.

[Can’t you see Yone? Didn’t you come with the princess?]

As a student of her magic undergraduate, Yone entered the school alongside her.

Recently, she has been going out with Princess Rachel all the time.

The sudden disappearance of her was just a little strange for her Lucia.

[If it’s Yone, he left after receiving a call from the Grand Duke’s family a while ago. Maybe… Did she say she had something to bring?]

[Oh, is that so? Well, Yone must be busy in his own way.]

Yone was no longer a maid.

She became a free commoner.

Since she had proven to have excellent magical abilities, there was no room for her to keep Yone tied down as her mere maid.

But since she entered the undergraduate side by side with Lucia, she still had some duties as her maid.

Thanks to that, she was not even a maid, but she was still in the somewhat odd position of continuing her maid duties under the command of the Grand Duchess.

Tak! Tadadak.

Even in the midst of that, Han moved well alone.

He jumped off Lucia’s shoulders, found a moderately sunny window seat, and sat down there.

He sat down on his seat and yawned at leisure.

The seats were pretty good.

A sunny seat, which is rare in the northern part.

Maybe that’s why he insisted on a window seat.

Of course, it wasn’t just for such a simple reason.

It was because, no matter how much he belonged to the white dragon of the snowy northern land, attribute training in this realm was better.

Han’s scales shimmered, revealing a luster like crystal clear crystals like jewels.

Receiving the mana flowing through the air around him, he was accumulating mana in his heart in real time, so if you look closely, an air current like blue mist swayed inside the scales.

Lucia let out a small smile at the sight of such resentment.

[Guardian Dragon seems to like that seat.]

[I think so. I’ve heard that beings called dragons like a sunny and warm spot. It is said that it is the same even if it is a guardian dragon, an ice dragon in the north.]

[Wow. You are amazing. Where did you learn that?]

Then, Princess Rachel’s cheeks turned slightly red.

[Heh, hehehe… I’ve been asking for a bit of learning for the past few days. When I looked in the capital, there were scholars who were studying the ecology of some dragons.]

But even so, I couldn’t bear to say anything behind it.

That said, it was just an act to get the attention of the guardian dragon, Han.

[…]

Han, who was actually the subject of the conversation, was also listening carefully to their conversation.

He thought as he licked his lips.

‘Is there a reason for that? Somehow, I only like a few places.’

It was a sound that even the guardian dragon himself did not know at all.

But now that I’ve heard it, it all seems to fit.

Until now, he hadn’t noticed it at all because it was such a natural change, but his body was certainly steadily accumulating magic around him, albeit little by little.

A dragon was, in the end, a magical creature with the purest and most essential meaning in the world.

It was also a very natural behavior for them to instinctively seek out areas with a lot of mana around them and stay there.

Buck buck.

Han scratched a spot on his chest.

The only spot on the chest that doesn’t have scales.

Somehow it was itchy at the place where it was sloppily perforated to reveal the mantle man’s flesh.

Are you trying to grow some hair? I hope it can’t be

[Ego. Guardian Dragon?]

At the sound of calling him, Han’s pupils, which had been contemplating with his eyes closed, flashed.

He questioned the hand held out in front of him.

[…?]

What is this?

Naturally, his gaze turned to the one who reached out his hand.

From noble mtl dot com

He turned to the face of the person who reached out his hand, and the opponent was none other than Princess Rachel.

For some reason, I can see that her face is slightly red.

Is this anticipation?

[…Kei.]

However, Han glanced at her once more to see what she didn’t like so much, then closed her eyes again.

[Ah.]

The girl who had been ignored so suddenly opened her mouth.

The creatures called dragons were originally the masters of this earthly world.

The most magnificent beings, full of loftiness and dignity.

They weren’t the type to enjoy contact with other people.

Although dragons might respond to the respect and admiration of all creatures placed under their feet, they never had the tendency to accept their interest and interest.

It was a natural reason given the nature of their belonging.

In other words, it was like a dog or cat petting people and daring to pet them.

Therefore, it was only natural that there were no humans who would at least be happy with such a reverse situation, except for a few very few people.

The limit was the same.

[Ah, um…]

Then, Princess Rachel had no choice but to slip away this bitter touch of hers.

She tried to laugh awkwardly.

[Su, it looks like the guardian dragon won’t allow me that much yet. So far.]

[…]

At that sound, her guardian dragon Han opened one of her closed eyes and looked at her.

I can’t believe I haven’t given up yet.

Indeed, Rachel is also amazing. In a way, it seems that he is even better than Yone.

She was quite satisfied with her current sense of distance for him, but apparently she wanted something more here.

* * * *

At the same time.

A woman wearing a uniform named ‘Owl’ was quietly watching the princess’s party.

She looked the other way through her scope with her gun pointed away.

Beyond the scope he peered into.

In the window of the student council room, you can see the princess and her party laughing while having a conversation.

Among them were the Guardian Dragon, the target of interest, and the successor of the Northern Grand Duke.

After watching it through the scope for a long time without moving, she suddenly let out a deep sigh.

“Haa… I envy you. Even at a time like this, the princess is laughing while having a leisurely conversation.”

The last lineage of the imperial family, Princess Rachel.

Watching her happy face from a distance, she felt envious.

As a soldier, he himself escorts me like this, but the object of the escort was happily walking around the academy like that from morning to afternoon.

But really, she knew even after saying that.

It means that Princess Rachel’s freedom belongs only to this time period.

It was around that time.

Dubuck. Tboob.

Around that time, the sound of someone else’s heavy military boots came from behind.

Rhythm and heaviness of the sound you hear.

With just that, the owl instantly figured out the other person’s identity.

She asked her counterpart without turning her head.

“Are you here?”

“Yes.”

It was a cool voice that was hard to hear even with one ear.

The man, nicknamed Seungnyang by her, immediately got to the point as soon as he faced her.

“An undercover agent from the former spy just arrived.”

The man has always been direct.

At first glance, it’s a way of speaking that seems aggressive at times.

Thanks to this, it can cause a lot of misunderstandings, but at least between the characteristics of the units they belong to, there is no more comfortable way to communicate than this.

“What is it?”

She asked.

Then the man paused for a while.

He just stared at the other side of the academy where the sun was setting with his mouth shut.

“Why are you taking so much time?”

“…It is the Shadow Church. I heard from the spy that they sent out several assassins.”

“Ha…”

A sigh came out at once.

That was bad news.

Of course, it was obvious what the assassins of the Shadow Church wanted.

If they were dispatched at this point, there must be only one target.

“Those bastards, it seems they came out in the end.”

But this was also what was meant to be.
